SECRET MEETINGS

TAMES RUSSELL LOWELL said all
free governments, whatever their
- name, are in reality governments
by public opinion, and it is on the
quality of this public opinion that
their prosperity depends. Public
opinion should have ample opportunity
of judging the work and the methods
of every branch OF representative gov
ernment and the public service, hence
secret sessions of any bodies, the mem
ber of which derive their powers from
the public, are utterly foreign to the
spirit and intent of Americanism.
That some of our public servants
have recently fallen into the bad habit
of holding secret meetings and depriy-
ing the newspaper representatives of
the public of opportunity of reporting
their proceedings to the public, is a
matter of grave concern to all good
citizens of Greater Los Angeles.
Such excuses as public officials make
for holding private meetings are sell
dom acceptable. They satisfy the
trainers of the excuses, but are highly
unsatisfactory 10 the public. Let us
hope the business of Greater Los An
geles will be transacted publicly, and
that citizens viii not be deprived of
their right to know what takes place
at meetings of public bodies.

AMEND CONDITIONS

" ITH the acquittal Of F. Augustus
w Heinze the country has prob
ably seen the last of what we
may call the undertaking trials, which
represent the preternaturally keen edge
put on the public sense of honor by
the revelations Of Investigators and
the magazine confessions Of high
financiers.
1t is well there is a restoration Of
sanity, because a yellow demand for
sensational scapegoats when it is a
condition and not any individual that
is at fault tends to make US nation
of hypocrites.
In order to prevent future scandals,
there should be a determined univer-
sal effort to cultivate oId-fashioned
Americanism, and to substitute the
standards of right and wrong that made
the cause of the colonists irresistible
for the standards OF financial gain and
financial loss which have had a per-
nicious, debasing. degrading and de-
moralizing effect on modern life.
Instead of applauding enormous in
diyidual fortunes and making heroes
out of skllful appropriations and ex-
propriators, let us bend the national
energies to securing the greatest good
for the greatest number. Let MS learn
to recognize prosperity only in the
welfare and happiness Of every good
American, and not in the preposterous
paradox which first declares all men
are born free and equal and are equally
entitled to life and liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, and then pro-
ceeds to sanction and applaud the most
extreme and the most deplorable fl
nancial inequality the world has ever
endured.

WASHINGTON SOCIETY

~ OCIETY news from Washington
says there is a row in the official
~ family over questions of prece-
dence. Uncle Joe Cannon, although he
is popularly believed to be rough and
ready, refused to attend banquet be-
cause he was not properly seated at
the guest table The etiquette of the
American court (we might as well give
it a frankly truthful title) demands
that justices, senators, cabinet officers,
etc, shah be treated according to their
official and social status.
They and the members of the foreign
delegation (who however, may be eX-
cused) object strenuously to being
seated at table in places that are not
in accordance with their official rank
and station.
The snobbery of Washington is gain
ing strength from the fictitious rank
accorded to relatives and dependents
of presidents and former presidents.
II is announced Alice Roosevelt Long
worth will establish a salon in the ma
tional capital. That will be all right,
until some old-fashioned congressman
from the middle west tells his constitu-
ents how he was entertained in Ma'am
Longworth's saloon.
Then there may be a misunderstand-
ing.
We hope when Teddy comes home he
will head d movement for American
simplicity.

gain d wider and more accurate knoWl-
edge of the law; to commend and aid
public officials in the right discharge
of their duties; to continue in the work
of placing drinking fountains for man

vide for their men cooler uniform in

The Woman's Christian Temperance
union is practical, and by engaging in
social reforms will ac omplish far more
than could be brought about by indi-

imagine his attitude to have been other

humorist, who carried during his life
a pocketful of pennies for distribution
among children wherever he met them,

Joy. he would hardly have applauded.
These children were as pure and
guileless as the flowers encircling their
necks. Could only they remain so as
they tread the highway to pure man
hood and womanhood, carrying with
them the questionless faith of child
hood as they stumble into the prob
lens of human existence, what a tran
sition the old world would undergo!
Then there was the contemplation OF
their future from a material stand
point AS the bloom of simplicity Is
rubbed away by the frictions of grief
or disappointment, and the boy becomes
the man pulsating with worthy am
bition, temptations like the red thorn

turn his future. We may hope that

SAYS A LITTLE LEARNING
is OFTEN DANGEROUS THING


LOS ANGELES, May 14.-[Editor
Herald: What is the object of an ed
ucation? 1t seems to me that the an
swer to this question is of paramount
Importance, yet it is seldom understood
Most of US seem to think that a
schoolhouse education enables a person
to secure a larger salary, etc, which is
not true; and if it were, it would be
an injustice, because the workingman' S
children do not have an equal chance
with the wealthy mans in schoolhouse
education. Consequently, the children
of wealth would always be in command
Of the best positions, which would end
in tragedy and a bill of rights
Col. r. G.. Ingersoll in speaking of
education says: We must get rid OF
the idea that a little learning units
one for work. There are thousands OF
graduates of Yale and Harvard and
other colleges who are agents for sew
ing machines, solicitors for insurance,
clerks, copyists; in short, performing a
hundred varieties of mental work. They
seem willing to do anything that is not
regarded as work. Nearly every young
man educated in this way is simply
ruined. Such an education ought to be
called ignorance.
They should be taught that it is
disgraceful to be idle, and dishonora-
BILE to be useless"
Education, according to my way OF
thinking, is to give more opportunities
in the pursuit of happiness, and that
learning proves that happiness does
not rest on money, but real, eternal,
Interchangeable foundation. That indi-
vidual who has not learned to be happy
with only ordinary things to eat and
wear would not be contented if he had
millions of dollars at his command and
occupied the most famous positions this
world affords A YOUNG MAN.

DANGER OF WHITE SLAVE
TRAFFIC GROWING, SHE SAYS

ORANGE, May 13.-[ Editor Herald]:
letter in a recent issue of your paper.
1 think her subject is one of the most
important offered for the considera-
tion of this nation, yet the ignorance
and apathy existing regarding it are
appalling. The danger is becoming so
great one would think every mother in
the land would be interested and
aroused.
Respecting the difficulty of getting
direct testimony from the girls. it
should be remembered that besides
the brutality they encounter they are
kept under the influence of liquor and
drugs until they are scarcely in a nor
NAL condition, and If one escapes and
is ready to testify she is often spirited
away by the interests which protect
the Infamous traffic. Instances have
been given where girls have been
beaten to death to prevent rescue and
consequent exposure.
Recent investigation as to the exist
ence and extent of the white slave
trade is to result in more drastic legis
lation, but lawmaking is one thing and
enforcement is another, and the mag
nitude of the fight for its suppression
can be realized from the words of an
evangelist of the Presbyterian faith,
who is quoted as saying that the slave
traffic is protected by a trust as
strongly entrenched a are those con-
trolling other interests. We must not
forget that, owing to economic condi-
tions. there is an increasing demand
for fresh victims, so that the danger
grows day by day. You say this in
iquity can be stopped by united action,
but, alas that unity is far in the
future, and, like the liquor traffic, will
only disappear with the profit system.
Yet join Mrs Downing in asking that
every organization that has an interest
in the lessening of human misery take
up this matter and join in the fight
against it. L. w.

RAILROAD RATES

A S the Sacramento Bee points out,
u the need of railroad regulation is
"a vital" Material advances in
certain freight rates from west to east
have been announced, and under pres
ent laws roads may raise rates without
the consent of the interstate commerce
commission or the assent of the public.
After the rates are in effect, a COM
plant may be filed with the commits
sion on the ground the new charges are
unreasonable. Filing of the complaint
is followed by delay. Should the com
mission make a ruling adverse to the
railroads, the latter appeal to the
courts, and there is more delay.
Only by giving the commission power
to pass upon rates before they go into
effect can the public be protected
against arbitrary exactions by the
railroads. THE POWER OF THE
RAILROADS TO TAX THE PEOPLE
is UNLIMITED, yet there is, no rep
resentation for the people when the
rates are made, and the railroads take
from the pockets of the American pub
lie every year the sum of 81. 400, ,O00, 900;
or, eight times as much revenue as
the protective tariff yields the govern
ment of the United States.
obviously, in any consideration of
prices Of popularity used commodities in
the United States, the effect of rail-
road tariff as we'll as of customs tariff
must be taken into account; and be-
tween the two millstones of customs
high tariff and railway high tariff, rest
assured the consumer is we'll and
thoroughly SQUEEZED.

Marse Henry Watterson Extends His
Compliments to Hearst in Happy Vein
(Modesto News)

Touching the individual action
against the editor of the Courier
Journal, Mr.. Watterson has merely TO
say that he will always consider him
self as increasing in honor the further
he diverges from Mr.. Hearst.
Having for years pursued Mr.. Wat
terson with preposterous and onen-
sive money offers, Mr.. Hearst adopts
the rather novel revenge of accusing
him before a court of law with that
which he would not dare to utter face
to face and man to man. Mr.. Wat
terson is nearing the close of long
and active life without having ever
been personally a party to any litiga-
tion or in any kind of suit or action
at law, and while Mr.. Hearst's pro-
ceedings may annoy, it can in no wise
injure or embarrass him.
Mr. Watterson has always under
stood that he who goes to law must
come into court with clean hands, and
he will insist that Mr.. Hearst shall
upon the threshold of these presenta-
tlons be compelled to meet this re-
quirement."

Needham Will Be Asked to Explain
His Insurgency Against Insurgents
(San Francisco CalD

REPRESENTATIVE NEEDHAM
X will be called on by his constitu-
1U ents of the Sixth congressional
district to explain what he means by
the statement given out by him in
Washington, in the course of which he
said
insurgency in its national aspect is
rapidly becoming anti-Taft and anti
protection. When this fact becomes
generally known, then there will be a
change in the sentiment of the country
regarding it,
Mr. Needham appears to have joined
the Reading out brigade, under the
leadership of Attorney General Wick
ersham, and apparently he has not read
the Indiana Republican platform, which
states in the clearest and most explicit
manner the position taken by the in
surgents and progressives of the party.

NOT A BLANK

That King George. is not altogether a
blank is attested by an utterance of his
shortly after his return to England from a
tour of the empire the duke of York:
THE old country must wake up If she in
tends to maintain her old position" 1t was
a frank warning TO the people of the old
land that they were neglecting the opportu-
mites open to them in the British domin-
ions over the seas,-San Jose Mercury
Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-16

If Mr. Needham has read the decla-
ration of principles he should know that
the insurgents are neither against the
president nor opposed to protection.
They are opposed to that form of pro-
lection expressed in certain schedules
Of the Payne tariff which were framed
to satisfy the demands of greedy inter-
ests at the expense of the whole body
of consumers.
II Mr.. Needham desires to antagonize
and reject the support of all those who
ask for an honest revision of the tar
iff, that is his affair; but We may sug-
gest that the process of reading out is
not at all calculated to promote his
political success. The Call regrets to
see Mr.. Needham assume this attitude
of hostility to men who are actuated
by principle. because, on the whole, he
makes a creditable representative of
California in congress.
