NEW zEALAND's WAY

Editor Herald: Readers of the Let
ter Box will recall communication
published a few days ago signed "Pon-
der" The author quoted late dis
patch from Melbourne, Australia, rel
ative to the introduction in the federal
house of representatives Of bill to
amend the constitution by giving the
common wealth complete legislative
control over trade, commerce, corpora
ton and industrial matters, etc, ana
then proceeds to comment on the dan
ger He says in part: 1T Is worse
than folly for the wealthy and m
telligent people of this country to be
shutting their eyes and ears to the
coming socialistic storm" He also
speaks of Socialism with it's slavery
Has ponder ever pondered over
the fact that some poor people are just
as intelligent as those of wealth? his
insinuation that only the wealthy are
intelligent is insulting; and as to so
cialism with its slavery what does
he mean? Socialism seeks to put an
end to industrial slavery, to improve
the conditions of the worker and Ior-
bid the employment of little children
in factories and in sweat shops. "Pon-
der must fear that the wealthy
might have to work. The writer is not
a Socialist, never voted the Soclanst
ticket but in common with thousands
and tens of thousands of other WORK
ers he realizes that under present III.
dustrial conditions we are all slaves OF
the trusts, paying tribute to them.
The cotton trust exacts its tax on the
diaper for the newborn infant; the
coffin trust demands it's tax on the
coffin for the dead. From the cradle
TO the grave" For the enlightenment
of "Ponder" l will quote few eX-
tracts from an article by Allan l..
Benson entitled "How Other Countries
Reduce the Cost of Living" which ap-
peared in the June number of Pear
sons Magazine:

and do no business with an egg trust,
meat trust, fish trust, storage ware
house trust or commission man. The
owner of a herd of beef cattle looks up
no Armour, Cudahy or Swift. He goes
to his government instead. So does
the farmer. The government trans
ports on it's own railway and its own
ships the cattleman's beef or the farm
ers grain, vegetables and fruit,
charging for its service just about the
cost of transportation. If he wishes
he can store his product in govern
ment cold storage warehouse at the
mere cost of ice and attendance. me
government will insure at cost. 1t
will eliminate every particle of mid
dleman graft, market the products at
the highest price obtainable, and re-
turn to the shipper every penny except
the bare cost of handling"
I wish The Herald would publish at
greater length some portions of this
article. 1t is a real "eye OPENER" and
would be appreciated by the thou
sands who are learning to look upon
The Herald as the champion Of right
and justice, placing principle above
party. M

TO THE VOTERS OF LOS
ANGELES COUNTY
m HE HERALD publishes this morn

IN HE HERALD publishes this morn
ing and will continue to publish
II until after the election the Demo-
cratic state and county tickets, ex-
cept that for the Democratic judiciary
ticket we publish the non-partisan jul
dietary ticket nominated by the Good
Government organization We wish all
of our readers would carefully scan
the ticket as presented, name by name.
If they do so, we are sure they will
find it in every way worthy of their
support at the polls on November 8.
There is not man on the ticket who
is not of excellent character and not
one who is in any way smirched with
the stain of the Southern Pacific ma
chine. After all, the elimination of the
Southern Pacific machine from both
state and county politics is the great
business before the voters of the state
of California for this year. The fact
that the Democratic party was COM
pletely freed from the dominance Of
the Southern Pacific machine two
years ago is responsible for the further
fact that at this election the party is
able for the first time since there has
been a Southern Pacific machine to
present a ticket to the voters of Cal
ifornia entirely free from machine in
fluence. Such thing as a state and
county ticket of one of the dominant
parties whose candidates are entirely
free from any afiiation with the
Southern Pacific machine has not
been known before in this state since
that machine existed.
While many of our Republican
friends used their utmost efforts to
redeem their party from the reproach
of the machine at the primaries, and
succeeded in nominating a number of
candidates who are anti-machine men,
yet some of the old machine crowd
succeeded In getting through the pri-
scented on the Republican ticket. That
this reproach does not attach to the
Democratic ticket is, in the judgment
of the Herald, the highest recon-
mendation for that ticket And when
upon investigation the ticket is found
to contain the names of men of known
honesty and integrity, in whose hands
the administration of the affairs of the
state and county can be safely trusted
it would appear that it should appeal
very strongly for the suffrages of all
honest voters.

"HECKLING"

N ECAUSE Frederick c. Schiffman,
X one of the prominent citizens Of
~ GIendora, asked a perfectly
proper question of Captain John D.
Frederlcks, the district attorney
threatens him with arrest and all but
carries out his threat. Considered as
a matter of tactics the candidate
made an egregious mistake in losing
his temper He displayed a side of
his character that nobody had yet
called attention to--a side that ought
TO be considered in the choice of a man
to entrust with great power
Mr. Schiffman was entirely within
his rights, and was moreover within
the bounds Of good taste and decorum.
He was not a rowdy trying to break
up a meeting, but was to be presumed
in all fairness voter seeking light.
If Fredericks had had a convincing
answer he could have completely dis
armed his inquisitor and probably won
sympathy and support by it.
The case is Of more than superficial
importance, for it serves as a reminder
of a very healthy English custom,
called "heckling," which might well
be adopted in this country Every
candidate for the suffrage in England
expects to be hecHled; that is, to be
Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-29

Since members of the family of the
late .Iucky" Baldwin have engaged
lawyers, and their estate is being maze
the subject of what may prove TO De
endless litigation, it would seem that
Baldwin's greatest luck was that ne
died without having to make equit-
able division of his possessions.
Indeed, fortunes like that of Lucky
Baldwin should be very hard to dis
tribute equitably. Perhaps any mani am
moth fortune would be. If those VINO
really earned it were to have falr
share in it, there might always, be
many thousands to inherit, rather ANA thdh
the individual or the group of lndlVlu-
nails acknowledged by the law. :,

tions, wise and foolish, germane or
otherwise, from the floor and to an

should lose his temper and act boorish
he would be hooted from the plat
form.
The Englishman takes his politics
very seriously, but when a campaign
is ended he knows just where can
didate stands on questions, because
he and others have made the office
seeker tell from the platform all about
his past record and future purposes.
No man with a good cause and good
record need fear heckling, but it is
conceivable that the other kind
might.
Our compliments to the pioneer
heckler of Glendora. May his tribe

may inherit.
There can never be very exact
way of determining whether fortune
has been made ION the square or not,
and it will always be impossible to de-
eide whether inheritances will be
ban or a blessing to those who follow
in the wake of the money-maker as
his next of kin.
But the ancient philosopher who
warned men against belonging to either
the high or the low classes-with re-
spect, particularly, to wealth-oecause
in the one case they must be envied
and pitied in the other-was plainly
right.
