SOMEBODY ANSWER THESE
QUESTIONS ABOUT SUFFRAGE

Los ANGELES, May 11.-[Editor
Herald: In the present state of the
controversy on suffrage for women it
may be of interest to submit the fol-
lowing questions
First-Since women are generally
more conservative than men, and act
more from the heart than the head or
from love and affection rather than
from intellect and reason, as men do,
would not therefore their interference
in politics tend more to stagnation than
progress?
Secondhand would not therefore our
commercial enterprises and expansions
be hindered or checked in all direc-
tions?
Third-Since the head must plan and
invent and the hand or force must eX-
ecute, would not feminine sentiment
hamper the progress of mankind?
Fourth-Since women exert the great
est influence on men (and influence is
power) would they not lose that power
by trying to do for themselves what
men can do better for both?
Fifth-Suppose that the feminine
spirit should prevail over the mascu-
line, would not the principle of justice
languish and favoritism become worse?
Sixth-Do women not banker after
royalty, titles and queenly attributes?
Seventh-Then how can we escape the
near approach of monarchy and the
glittering allurements of court?

SECRET SESSIONS

N XECUTIVE sessions of represen-
II tatives of the people are always
A- subjects of criticism, and often
the criticism IS just. An emergency
may arise when the public interest de-
mands private discussion of public
business; but as a rule this paradoxi-
cal situation is practically impossible
Representatives of the public. re-
sponsible to the public for their Off
cial words and deeds, cannot hope to
escape adverse criticism when they in
sist on preventing the public from OBJ
tanning knowledge of transactions
which should be public, inasmuch as
they concern the public business.
Any city council or other body OF
citizens elected by and representing the
public, which retires behind locked
doors to transact in seclusion and sec
recy business which intimately and di-
rectly concerns the public, raises the
presumption there is a reason or mo-
tive for ConCealment Of the methods
by which business is being transacted
and of the words used in discussing it.

PIONEERS

II ROM San Diego comes news of the
Il death of another of the Califor-
Il mia pioneers, Richard O'Neal of the
Santa Margarita ranch. Some of the
forty-niners who had little luck at the
gold mines took to ranching. and found
in this occupation a veritable gold
mine.
Mr. O'Neal represents this class of
citfzens and was one of the men who
developed the natural resources of
Southern California, and discovered the
rich possibilities in the combination of
sun, soil and water.
Today there is a new group of pio-
neers, not less skillful, venturesome, in
genious. daring and patriotic than those
who discovered the wealth of Califor-
MIA of the gold mines and the unpar-
alleled productivity of California of
the ranches.
They are the industrial pioneers; and
their indefatigable efforts and energies
and keen, true foresight are bringing
industrial and commercial prosperity
to the land of the gold and the ranches.
And the California of the new era, the
California that will stand in the world
marts and compete successfully with
makers and with traders from far and
near, will be California of the manufac-
turing industries.

BELLS WORK

4 RECENT number of the World s
u Work reminds the American ma
"A tion and civilization of their in
debtedness to "a young Scotch-Ameri-
can, whose name was Alexander Gra-
ham Bell teacher of acoustics and
student of electricity, possibly the only
man in his generation who was able to
focus a knowledge of both subjects
upon the problem of the telephone"
The shape of the familiar style of bell
seen in the telephone sign is borrowed
from the rude symbols found on the
tombstones in the old burying ground
Of the Bells. The blue color is the in
ventor's compliment to a familiar mel
ody Of the land of his forefathers, THE
Bluebells of Scotland"
A subject in which Bell was keenly
interested was temporarily obscured by
the brilliant success and development
of the telephone, but again is becoming
clamorous for serious consideration.
Bell inherited from his father and
grandfather (from whose phonetic
rtudies the telephone-mind of Alexan-
Ger Graham Bell was evolved) a belief
in alphabetical reform. Spelling re-
FORM" as every student knows Qf he
would only be outspoken about it,, is a
delusion and a snare.
But the time is fast approaching
when as an economic necessity alpha
betical reform will be adopted. With
alphabetical reform there will be a saw
/ ing of one-third IN writing, typewriting,
| composition and paper To save one
column in three of newspaper compost
tion and white paper is surely worth
while.
With alpha betical reform, spelling
will reform itself, automatically and
naturally. No student of phonetics has
any faith in the simplified spelling
movement. 1t is a weak makeshift
and, like every other makeshift, may
befog the issue and postpone the day Of
real reform.

PUBLIC SERVICE RATES

THIRST report Of the board Of public
Il utilities on rates for public ser
Il vice corporations justifies the
existence of that board, and gives citi-
zens of Los Angeles reason to believe
in the future they will get a square
deal in rates. A conspicuous example
of the boards practical usefulness is
its recommendation in the case Of the
Union Hollywood Water company that
the present minimum rate of $3.50 for
any amount less than 600O gallons (GO)
cubic feeD, used in one month he
changed to minimum Of $125 per 500
cubic feet or less per month; the rate Of
1912 cents per 1000 gallons for all
excess over 5000 gallons to he changed
to 10 cents per 100 cubic feet 03 1-3
cents per 1000 gallons) for all excess
over 800 cubic feet per month.
Companies concerned of course op-
pose strenuously any reduction in
rates; but the board of public utilities
is supported by public sentiment,
which reads the news from Glasgow,
Manchester and other great cities
abroad, and is not as readily disposed
as it used to be to accept unquestion-
ingly the doctrine of private owner
ship of public utilities.

WONDERFUL WIRELESS

A MOTHER illustration of the econo-

"A ed with the general use of wire
less telegraphy is in the fact a Lon
don dressmaking house has secured
permission to place statesmen, models
and samples on the Mauretania, Lusi-
tania and other mammoth liners. Bust
ness having invaded the ocean, the
weary wight of the future, seeking
surcease of worry, will echo the old

With business going along uninter-

breaking records, the ocean voyage
win be deprived OF romance and aboard

This does not detract from the fact

Music Notes

An audience which filled Christ
II church auditorium to the doors as
IA sembled last night to hear the final
organ recital in the series which Archi-
bald Sessions has given this winter.
The Woman's symphony orchestra as
sisted in the program which was, well
arranged and played with artistic eff
feet. The numbers for orchestra ana
organ were beautiful and elected close
attention and appreciative understand
ing from the audience.
Mr. Sessions solos were effective ana
the Andante Cantabile CTschalkoW-
SKYE and Gavotte (Elgar) were ex-
quisitely played.
1t is unfortunate that inconslderate
or oyerzealous ushers and attendants
conversed in audible tones during the
plaving of the number and moved
about the back Of the church SO per-
sistently that those members OF the
audience who occupied seats in any or
the rear rows Of the auditorium were
annoyed and their attention constantly
distracted during the playing OF these
numbers.
The program in it's entirety was:
Prelude and fuge on BACH (LiszD;

INDETERMlNATE SENTENCE
IDEALS 1T NOT VERY RISKY?

Los ANGELES. May 11.-[Editor
Herald: After twenty years of fight
ing for mercy and fair play to the
criminal, 1 shall not run any risk of
being misunderstood when I take issue
with one of the proposed measures Of
reform advocated by Chief Kohler the
Prison Reform league and others. 1
think Mr.. Kohler is a man the nation
should be proud of and thankful for,
and the Prison Reform league is an
organization of incalculably great
promise. But l have strong mlsgivings
about that indeterminate sentence
proposal Safer by far, l would think,
to have the sentence specific. but see
to it in the first place that it shall
not be brutally severe, as is so COM
mon at present.
Considering the secrecy" of prison
management, the helplessness of the
prisoner and the notorious low morale
of jail off1cialdom, I fear the inde-
terminate sentence would place the
prisone. at a terrible risk of being
overlooked or forgotten" for purposes
of parole or pardon should he happen
either to be too useful to lose" or not
to possess an aptitude for currying
favor with his jailers. What safe
guards are contemplated in this re-
spect?
AS to all this talk about a prisoner
proving his desire to reform, how alb
surdly remote is its application to a
large percentage of criminal" cases!
Because a man once-or occasionally
breaks the law under some peculiar
stress or temptation, is that any proof
that he has criminal" character to
reform? Not at all; it is the circum-
stance, not the man, that is criminal" +"
often and often. That there is vastly
much crime yet comparatively few
criminals, is the lesson of my life's
experience. VAL STONE.

CANNIBAL PATEENALISM

CALIFORNIA fruit growers are
submitting to the interstate COM
~ merce commission their case
against the railroads, At the hearing
in Washington the railroads will be
called on to defend their action in in
creasing the rate on lemons to $1.15
per 100 pounds, in keeping up the rate
on oranges to that figure and in i'm
posing further increase in the citrus
fruit rate by a charge of $50 per car
for preceding.
BY extra taxation the railroads have
managed to divert to their own cof
fers any increased revenue that might
come to the California citrus indus
tries from an increased tariff. The
railroads have made themselves the
chief beneiciaries of the protection
policy in aid of the California citrus
industry.
The result is not only an odd ex
ample of the unexpected, anti-climac-
tic or "boomerangish" results that
may come from overindulgence in tar
iff stimulant under the belief it helps
or protects industry; but is a revela
tion of the deep and tender solicitude
in the welfare of California indus
tries" exhibited with profuse verbiage
by transportation corporations.
Like other great California indus
tries. the citrus fruit growing. pack
ing and shipping industry is being
built up in spite of the repellently
acquisitive attitude of the railroads;
which cherish the infant industries of
our great state with truly cannibal-
istic solicitude, guarding them jealous
ly until they are big enough to eat.
