ONE-CENT PIECES FOR
THE WEST
New York SUM

New York SUM
The striking of more than a million
cent pieces at the san Francisco mint
in 1908 made a new record in the MS
tory of the United States mint and
its branches, for never before since the
coinage of pieces of this denomination
was begun, in 1898, had such coins
been struck anywhere but at the par
ent establishment at Philadelphia. AS
q matter of fact, no need for the max
ing of coins of this denomination in
the west presented itself until within
recent years, as the demand for cent
pieces was confined almost exclusively
to the Atlantic and middle western
states. In the west and southwest
this minor coin has had no purchas-
ing value, was not recognized and was
seldom seen in circulation. Indeed,
even at the present time there are
many western localities in which cent
pieces are not accepted.
In Colorado, for instance, If per-
son tenders a five-cent piece to a post
master for two two-cent stamps he
receives in exchange, together with his
stamps, not q one-cent piece, but
one-cent postage stamp. There are
no cent pieces in the money drawer
of the postmaster, and he doesn't de-
sire any. In Denver store a certain
commodity is quoted at, say, II cents
pound. The purchaser must take
either Is or 20 cents worth. Nothing
less than five cents worth is sol.
Apples may be four or five cents, but
one apple is also five cents, just the
same. Now the people of the Cen
tennial state are going to have a
chance Of becoming acquainted with
the little bronze cent for it is the in
tention of the government to strike
cent pieces at the new Denver mint.
California has had as little use for
the cent as other parts Of the west.
For many years no coin of less de-
nomination than 10 cents had pur-
chasing value there. and in the gold
days nothing less than 25 cents would
buy anything, miners frequently
throwing a handful of small silver
pieces out into the street as useless
weight to carry, the "two-bits,' or
quarter, being the minimum current
coin.
Times have changed and the people
along the Pacific coast have been
quicker to adopt the cent than those
in the Rocky mountain district. Now
the coin is used in such quantities
that it has been found advisable to
manufacture cents on the ground and
thus save the expense of shipment
across the continent from Philadel-
phia. For the calendar year of 1908
the United States mint report shows
that $11, $50 worth of cents were struck
at the San Francisco mint and $685.
279S7 worth at Philadelphia.
Following the custom of placing dis
tinguishing mark upon the COIN struck
at the different mints, the new cent
pieces made at the San Francisco and
Denver mints will respectively bear the
mint letters S and d.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

Editor Herald: "The law is sort of
To the Editor THE law is sort of
hocus-pocus science, that smiles in
your face while it picks your pocket
Macklin.
General Grant said that he knew of
no method so effective to secure the re-
peal of bad or obnoxious laws, as their
stringent enforcement The people of
the United States-who have historical
ly shaken off "the old man of the sea"
whenever he has made himself burden
some ON their backs. have again as
serted themselves. The best friend OF
the people, President Taft, has prof
fered valuable advice in his recon-
mendation of careful enforcement now
of the righteous laws already written
on the statute books in order to asCer-
tain their remedial qualities in practice
and incidentally to discover if any Of
them prove to be of the "hocus- -pocus"
variety, which, while full of smiling
promise, are picking the pockets of the
people.
Enforcement of the law is the salient
point Gas the evasion of any law breeds
contempt for all law and leads directly
to development of repeal of impossible
statutes-if they are thus developed
whose evasion breeds contempt of all
law. Thus careful enforcement and OBJ
servation of the effect of such general
and specific action will be the beginning
of a valuable educational epoch. If 1t
should demonstrate that all the ills of
the country cannot be cured by legisla-
ton it would be a progressive era and
will be found to be the logical path of
repeal of nonsensical, bad and obnox-
ious laws, if any are now on the stat
ute books of the people. SO that the
people may in the procedure witness
the legal justification of their recent an
tics in Kicking over the political
traces and dumping the bandwagon,
and a little time will thus tell whether
special influence has written within the
statute books any hocus=pocus laws for
a patient and long-suffering people

LET THE HOUSE BE FREE

TT is amusing how some of the standpat Repub-
licans are holding up their hands in horror OF
the fate that is sure to Overtake the nation as
a result of what they pleased to call the "ex-
pertinent of really having the house control its
affairs instead of leaving that delicate task to
the hands of unbridled speaker OF course il
is forcgone conclusion that a committee of the
house of representatives will name the committees
of that body That is a victory for public freedom
that won when insurgents and Democrats
kicked the pedestal out from under "Czar' Cannon.
But wherein is the experiment in the practice
that has been in vogue in the senate ever since its
foundation? Jealousy of the first vice president was
the cause of it, and the senate has kept the nam
ing of its own committees in its hands ever since.
Nobody ever heard of a vice president who
"czar,' not even the forceful Roosevelt. The SEN
ate never could be induced to surrender this ad-
vantage to any one man.
The senate method has worked well under all
circumstances. When partisan najorities have
been large and fierce the committees have reflected
their spirit and numbers When feeling has sub
sided there have been accommodations as to the
committees that responded to the conditions
When the senate has been evenly divided or when
men not closely affiliated with either of the great
parties have held the balance OF power the COM
mittceships have been disposed of without part
isanship and presidents pro tenn. have been chosen
chiefly for personal reasons.
TO call such system experiment is to Jug
Gle with the facts and puts the standpatters in a
position of trying to make out that the nation is
naughty child with plaything it does not know
how to handle. The senate has no packed standing
committees and it governs itself. There is rea-
son why the house should not be just as free

day of last year, but it was bigger than ex-

The weather was perfect and the double holiday
of today and tomorrow is expected to break all
records for attendance.
All the aviators expressed their enthusiasm
over aviation conditions here and are sure that the
Los Angeles gathering will surpass all the worlds

The management is to be congratulated on the

Call building, from which the most
comprehensive and beautiful view oil

the character and nature OF the Cal'
building lend an air of stability ana

a building as the one proposed by MI
Merritt would put Los Angeles in the

Your city is beautiful one and at
tractive to the tourist. but as any one
will admit il looks now decidedly diff
ferent from the older western cities,
Two or three such buildings as the
proposed Merritt structure could not
but add value to your real estate and
emphasize the Importance of the city
to the visitors who come here each
year.
Los Angeles is destined unquestion-
ably to be a great city, and these high
office buildings will come sooner or
later. 1t would seem to me pity for
this beautiful building not to be erect

THE PORTER

With all the agitation against the

public is likely to foster resentment
against the porter, although the porter

make him the particular ward of the

song, likewise verse, much to the edif-
ctaion and entertainment of those traY-

how literally the muse has endowed the
dusky singer:

one afternoon as ne was in front,

good run was better than bad stand,
the old man sought shelter in a saloon

mankind more akin
In the giving OF presents in the home and see

TO NEW YORK WITHOUT STOP

THE announcement that the Hartman lines
propose to run through trains to New York
from the coast is one that will be hailed with
delight but it is practice that ought to have been
put into effect long ago. The connection from
Chicago to New York is to be made over the New
York Central lines via the Lake Shore.
The west always has been handicapped in the
way of mail service and travel from the east be-
cause day was lost in Chicago. The best trains
from the east all arrive there in the morning, but
the passengers are not able to make western con-
nection until the evening OF that day.
What the public service requires is trains that
will run direct through from coast to coast in both
directions without stop or change. This will prac-
tcally save a day in the running time.
Under the new plan for west-bound service the
Chicago Northwestern will be used between Chi
cago and Omaha and the Union Pacific lines west
ward. At Granger, WyO. the cars for points
north and south are to be switched, those for Los
Angeles coming over the Salt Lake road.
This innovation is sure 10 result in increased
traffic and will work great benefit to Los Ange-
les as one Of the principal objections raised by the
eastcrners against coming here was the annoying
delay and the trouble Of transfer in Chicago.
