FOR FREEDOM OF THOUGHT

Editor Herald: Permit me to publicly
express my profound appreciation and
gratitude to the minister of the Los
Angeles Fellowship, Rev. Reynold E.
Blight, for the splendid service he has
rendered his community in various
ways. The ground tone of his work Is
for freedom on all planes and levels of
life. We have seen him in the arena,
throwing the full force of his conVic-
tions in the breach for social freedom,
for religious, moral, mental, polite
freedom; while his latest contribution
to progress is bold stroke for medical
freedom. In the organization known as
the National League for Medical Free
dom a few strong, unfettered minds are
preparing means and methods for the
emancipation of the common veal from
the structures of medical authority and
dogmatism.
Perhaps in this new movement the
League for Medical Freedom is Graded
the spirit of revolt against the in
fringements on ancient rights. Per-
haps before long the world will wit
ness the reunion of illegitimately sep
arated and hopelessly straying entities
"a reunion in which the advanced in
dividual with enlightened mind and
purified heart will become the high
priest in the temple service of his own
nature, administering to the needs and
necessities, the health and salvation of
his physical as well as eternal being.

DEFENDS THE SMOKERS

Editor Herald: Space should be re-
served for smokers on rear of street
cars, where possibly smoke would blow
away rather than into the car. Forbid
the ladies this section. l have noticed
many times that the objecting class OF
women are prone to grab onto smok-
er's seat and seem perfectly happy
finding fault, nagging and making
themselves a nuisance. There may be
ample room elsewhere, but she prefers
a smokers seat, so an opportunity pre-
sents for changing what should be a.
lovable character into a chronic bore.
Many men can only smoke going to and
from business, and some at home. IL
deprived of both places, they will soon
take a stroll by gas light, where the
devils imps may get them into worse
habits.
Give the dear ladies everything in
reason and stand pat for your favorite
cigar or pipe, friend. AS long as the
ground produces tobacco there will be
blue rings and curls puffed into the
winds while the smoker is in deep
thought. Where there is smoke there is
fire, and many good ideas were born
from behind the pipe.

FOR AN INCOME TAX

Editor Herald: Mr. Roosevelt said
that "The tariff increased duties on
some luxuries and articles not of COM
mon use, and made no increase on any
common food produce"
Every laboring man and woman. as
also every ultimate consumer, knows by
experience that. the above statement
must be wholly untrue or garbled, for
did not prices advance on every article
of common use besides food after the
enactment of that tariff?
Now, since the tariff produces enough
revenue to cover the deficit the income
tax foreshadowed. it is not even men
toned, as, forsooth, that would fall on
the rich only. VIII the American peo-
pie stand this much longer?
Carnegie says: THE imposition Of an
income tax will make us a nation of
liars" Tut, tut, mon! That we are
politically already to perfection, and
cannot be made worse. Every mother s
son tries to dodge taxes, and the rich
refuse to tax themselves to relieve the
poor, wherefore the people can expect
no redress of their wrongs. Therefore
I counsel to smash the tariff and raise
the income tax. c. r.

At first he (Hearst) showed himself
a fairly good loser and went right on
fighting in his papers with consistent
sincerity, for the policies with which
he was identified. But presently
snarl began to sound in his public
utterances, his attacks on men In pub
lie life became indIscriminate and pur-
poseless, his editorial policy grew
shifty and eVasive on local issues, ana
the new Hearst Hearst the sour
balled, stood plainly revealed. From
being humanitarian and altruist1c IN
their point of view, his papers nave be-
come cynical, reactionary and strictly
on-the-make. The Los Angeles mem

day after day and never turns halr.
IT takes no hand in politics lest IL

LOUDENSLAGER

MONG the coterie of men who
n have formed a fringe around the
IA throne of Cannon, the czar OF
the house, and held spear and shield
IN his rhalanx of loyal defenders, is
Henry C. Loudenslager of New Jer-
sew. Tawney and Boutell and Living
ston and others of the phalanX have
been disposed of by the people, but
New Jersey politicians decided to
stand pat this year and gave Louden-
slayer a denomination.
The voters of New Jersey, however,
have not yet been consulted in the
matter, and the road to reelection
NAV not be as easy as it was to the
convention which again gave him
chance to run. Mr.. Loudenslager is
one Of the kind of statesmen whose
methods delight all who admire the
gumshoe type. Camden is the back
bone of his district, lying right across
the river from Philadelphia. They are
connected by ferry.
In Philadelphia is a saloon and in
the saloon is a whisky barrel, which

the desk from which he directs his
lieutenants who come over for orders
md the "wherewith." Philadelphia
is in Pennsylvania, you know, and
anything done from a whisky barrel
there is not answerable for in New
Jersey, if it happens to be not strictly
according to the foolish moral stat
utes of "Loudys" home state.
The saloon district Of Philadelphia,
unfortunately for him, does not have
a vote in November, but the people
of Camden have, and it is very likely
they have been giving more attention
to his political fnesse than formerly.
It is to be hoped so.

GOOD TASTE LACKING

II formed into a booster" sheet,
eternally attempting to get up some
kind of movement" that it thinks
will please the real estate men. ho-
tel keepers and others that will ad-
vertise.
Thus the Pacific outlook with cor
rect perception characterizes Hearsts
Los Angeles Examiner. AS if to put
its own stamp of truth on the state
ment, that paper comes promptly for
ward in true Hearstian style with an
attempt to make capital for itself by
using the greatest calamity that has
ever befallen the city to advertise its
wares.
The Examiner does this by begging
to be permitted to offer reward for
the apprehension of the f1end who
blew up the Times building. The mer-
cenary character of the thing is so
palpable that it should be seen by the
dullest mind. About $4,000 is already
offered, with a prospect of a great deal
more from sources that could have
only patriotic motives for the act, but
the Hearst sheet, true to its habits
that it cannot suppress in the face of
widespread mourning, springs forward
with its offer blazoned in its biggest
type. and daily We shall be offended
by its repeated flamboyancy.
One would think that good taste
would estop anybody from making
this unhappy hour the time for bugle
blasts in behalf of any business but
yellow journalism knows nothing OF
the code that governs people of ordin-
ary decency. Good taste is not IN It's
lexicon. We venture to say that in
all Los Angeles the Examiner will be
the only one-person or institution-to
use the horrible calamity in such a
sordid way.

association gives, would secure the
services of all those big and little who
could not do heavy work. l would
suggest that members would enroll
themselves in this association, from
the millionaire princes, who would take
delight in furnishing plenty of money
for the procuring of pleasures and
slight rewards, viz: inexpensive re"
wards, down to the commonest, low
est, weakest and youngest children
that are to be found in any city.
It can be unsectarian, and Protes-
tants, Catholics, black and white, good
people and bad people, even thieves
and vagabonds can enroll themselves
as members of this association for the
poor, without pay and welcome. Chill
dren, princes and others can be in
duced to keep the pavements and
streets opposite their homes entirely
free of all Objectionable articles. viz;
such as the street cleaners would not
remove. Children and others would
cheerfully do this, say for a week or
month, for a ticket to Lemon Hill or
some such inexpensive reward. The
children could also be induced to keep
other peoples homes, viz: pavements
and streets, strictly clean for most
trifing reward from the householder.
To my mind this would solve the
problem If worked out with energy ana
intelligence and enthusiasm by the Of
ficers of such a company of keeping
our streets, parks and pavements just
as clean as is possible. The outside
of a house should be kept as tidy as
the inside. To carry this idea further
the next step would be to keep the
homes not only clean, but tidy and at
tractive. We have waited in vain, as
noted above, for the city fathers, poll
ticians and great big strong men to
keep our cities clean, and I think it
is now time to turn our attention to
the hundreds and thousands of the
weaker and little ones to do this work
for US. This effort can be made on a
small scale here right at home, and If
it meets with the favor of the people,
could be increased indefinitely in every
town, city and state in the United
States, and all over the world.
All people naturally want something
to do, and will do it. If they do not
do what is good, they will do what is
bad. This scheme could be carried out
as sensibly as the Christian Endeavor,
and it would incline the young to ideas
of neatness, cleanliness and godliness,
This is a big proposition, but nothing
is too big for great minds and strong
party feeling.

BEATEN TO A FRAGILE

trickster. but who did he beat to
FRAGILE? Surely not the old guard
the standpatters for high tariff and
special privileges. They got their
Payne -Aldrich tariff lauded to the
skies and the Teft administration
eulogized in the platform adopted,
making those two the permanent
planks in the Saratoga platform; thus
pledging La Toilette and all the ESQ.,
called) Republican reformers to the
perpetuation of Republican misrule and
graft. Surely the insurgents must be
the party beaten to a frazzle' by the
trickery of Roossvelt-their adopted
Moses to lead them out of the wilder
ness of sin. Whether it causes a split
in the Republican ranks or not, 1t
should dispel all hope of reform from
that source, and lead all true Demo-
Gratis to firmly resolve to support none
but their own nominees for any legis-
lative office, either national, state or

SAYS WOMEN ARE SELFISH

Editor Herald: 1 am a happy wife
and mother of six children. Before
was married I was private secretary
in an important mining firm, so
know the professional and home life
and whereof I speak. Every woman
to be a competent judge should know
both sides of life. She grows narrow,
selfish and indolent in many cases
without it, and unfit to be sympa-
thetic wife and mother. Any woman
who is not selfish or weak will not
disapprove of men smoking on the
street cars. Women have their weak
nesses in candy, gum and equally dls-
tasteful but seemingly necessary nab
it's. If the smoke makes the weak
woman ill she should consult her doc
tor-not be foolish-as she cannot ex-
pect to live in this world without
meeting many equally distasteful
odors which she must learn to accept
calmly. AS to the professional women
who merely object as to possible
twenty minutes of inconvenience TO
their delicate senses, these women must
necessarily learn to be broad and ac-
cept faults in others. as others must
accent them in them. Professional
women are forced to learn this, and
consequently are less selfish and vain
on the whole. The remaining class OF
women the mothers and society wo-
men, who occasionally ride in the cars.
have no right to object, as they should
use the cars as do, between the hours
of those used by their husbands and
fellow business men, not only to allow
them their cigars, but also to give
them the much needed chance to rest
their tired feet So the objections of
these women need not be noticed.
In conclusion, my husband is
moderate smoker, an average business
man, and the majority of such men
eniov their morning and evening cigar
during their short ride to and from
business. I repeat that the women who
object are selfish, and have no doubt
are narrow and ignorant, incapable OF
a broad outlook upon life. Those wo-
men who object to smoking can carry
their selflshness to their homes, as I've
no doubt they do. But they cannot
interfere with this freedom in public
places.
