Hiram w Johnson has been called by his opponents a fanatic. This is his answer:
 Our enemies charge me with being a fanatic on the great issue of elimi- mating the Southern Pacific political bureau from control of the government of California" he says "If it is fhuaticism to oppose the footing and debauching of the state by corrupt influences; if it is fanatiCism to resent the control of the government by Wil- liam F. Herrin and the Southern Pa cific political bureau if it is fanaticism 10 fight with all ones energy to take the government away from the men who have disgraced and shamed it, and make it responsive to the people to whom it belongs, I am fanatic, and accept the characterization with no small degree of pride

ETHICS OF INSURGENCY
Ionest "sis Business" Has Nothing to Fear From Political Regeneration.

The following editorial on 'Insur- gents appeared on Tuesday, septem- Der 20. in the daily Wall Street Jour nal which is without a rival as the leading financial paper in America. It represents, says Golfers, not the views of the predatory buccaneers on the outskirts of wealth. intent on cor rupt privileges, but the sound con victionsSof- conservative ,bankers-the very. heart of that part of business which is not only the most powerful but is at the same time honest and enlightened
 "A few years hence and we shall find ourselves wondering why the at titude Of the progressive section of the Republican Party excited such intense bitterness. There is nothing immoral in insurgency such as that of Dol liver or Fowler, although to judge by the New York Sun and other wor- shipers of the vested interests, some wrong has been inflicted when one section of a party grows strong enough to enforce it's views upon the rest.
 This is the normal working of party government, and in no other self governing country in the world would the insurgent be abused like a pick pocket. irrespective of whether the changes he desired were, or not. In- Surgency obtains in any democratic condition, and the name merely begs the question We"'are a nation of insurgents, and if we are to continue to hand on the traditions of the em- battled farmers of Lexington, most sensible people will believe that the evidence of national virility afforded thereby is well worth the sacrifice of MT. Cannon's much-loved job, or even of the service of a number of politi- clans who must pass into private life.
 Our whole national life is insur- gent. There is an insurgent element Nh1Nh hCCpo W 1SGS ClSou. OOllc insurgents terrified the regulars and stand -patters of 1905 by an attack upon financial methods of kind not easy to characterize politely That insurgency changed the government of Wall Street. Out of it's conse- quences there arose party conserva- tive but progressive, independents but loyal. (which has been able in the past five years to shape the policy of the financial center to the great advantage of the whole country.

The. sgmpathies of this newspaper are essentially conservative, but there are certain phases of business which it would gladly see undermined with a stick of moral dynamite We would even undergo the terrible peril of being called an insurgent therefor.
