IN the night and thought he saw a
s1ar. The star soon opened and a
dead brother and sister appeared. He
spoke to them. but when they heard
his voice they vanished. The star
closed and reopened and this time
the figures two and nine appeared
When he aroused his parents he told
them Of the vision and interpreted II
TO mean that he would die January
~, 1909 When the twenty-ninth had
passed and he retained his life. he
said that whenever he did die IL
would be on the twenty-ninth day OF
the month. Mr.. Memberships inter.
probation OF the dream came true, his
relatives explaining that death struck
about noon Friday, nut he fingered un

NOT AN EXCEPTION

N ALIFORNIA, thinks the Chicago
I Record Herald, was an exception
~ in the elections of last week. The
rest of the country rose up in mighty
protest against the Aldrich tariff, but
(in the word Of that journaD "the state
OF California is for a high tariff, and
the California insurgents know it.
Their fight was made in the main
against the railroad domination Of their
party. It was popular when a fight on
the tariff would have been unpopular,
and the people will naturally prefer the
Republican party to the Democratic
party for the very reason that the
former is the party of protection"
1t is the reverse of true that the
tariff is popular here. In that respect
California is of a mind with the rest
Of the country. She turned down Dun
can NIcKinlay and elected William
Kent, an avowed enemy of special
privilege. She turned down McLachlan
and elected Stephens, another foe Of
privilege tariff. She turned down En-
glebright and elected Judge Raker,
Democrat. She cast upward OF 6O,OO0
Socialist votes-more proportionately
than any other state-every one a pro-
test against privilege as it is typified
in the tariff
Tie. fruit growers Of California have
a very doubtful aid in the tariff. They
are rankly Disseminated against be-
cause while the manufacturers Of the
east have built the tariff so as to shut
out absolutely foreign competition on
their goods, the protection given our
fruit growers doesn't give them the
American market. Southern Italy sup
plies half lhe lemons in this country.
For every one here who is helped by
the tariff five are gouged by 1t. For
every dollar Of benefit there are five
dollars of tribute to trusts. And Cali
fornians know it,

EARLIER SOCIALIST VICTORIES

Editor Herald: I have seen in your
paper, as well as in others, that the
first Socialist ever elected to congress
has been chosen from Milwaukee. 1
have been waiting for a correction, but
in vain.
The first Socialist elected to congress
was Henry Smith. He was elected
from the county of Milwaukee in IS 5
by the following vote: Brown, Re-
publican, 9645; Black, Democrat, 1923;
Smith, Social-Labor, 1885, winning by
a plurality of $40. TO show that he
was a real Socialist, 1 will give you
the platform upon which he was elect
ed: Arbitration for the settlement of
labor difficulties, government control
of money, land and means of COM
munication; public improvements, la
Dor bureau, opposition to contract con-
Wet labor, the election of all officials
by q vote Of the people, income tax,
the forfeiture of all land grants and
the prohibition of alien ownership of
lands, etc.
This movement did not stop with
Milwaukee, but the following spring it
came near capturing the city of Chi
cago, their candidate for mayor,
Charles G. Dixon. standing second in
the race. The state ticket in Chicago
came within 1900 votes of carrying
Cook county, and was only 1000 behind
the Democratic nominee, and they
elected a dozen members Of the legis-
lature. JOHN SOBIESKI.

JUDICIAL OPINIONS

Editor Herald: The inordinate length
of the decisions of our courts, 1 would
say, if not disrespectful, is a verltable
nuisance. They are never read by the
common people, as Mr.. Lincoln calls
them, and very seldom by members
of the bar, or even of the judiciary
The common people, who simply have
not the time to wade through these
longdrawn-ou dsqusitions, must re-
main ignorant of the law embodied in
them, although our system of govern
ment assumes, or rather requires,
every man to know the law. Our
Judges generally take it upon them
selves to discuss over and over every
decision on "authority' referred to by
either side. This is a task so entirely
uncaIled for as to render it absurd in
the extreme.
This practice must have grown out
of the youthful or callow character of
our judiciary, but it is not now con-
fined to the younger judges. Old and
young alike indulge in 1t. The older,
apparently, do not wish to be outdone
by their younger brethren or to show
less erudition. The judicial decision
of a case may be in a very few words.
A long opinion is in the nature of an
apology for the decision, but no apol-
ogy is or can be rendered for its in
ordinate length. o. B. S.

PRICES AND VELVET"

n EOPLE will read the news" that
the price of foodstuffs is going
4 to drop with more Of an amused
cynicism than confidence. They will
still go to market with the conviction
that if some commodities are offered
at a slight reduction it will be for
but a short time, when the upward
tendency will again assert itself and
probably more than make up for any
temporary fall.
The public has come to understand
at last why food is high (as we'll as
everything else), stays high and goes
higher. 1t is because the law of sup
ply and demand is no longer operative
except in isolated cases. The means
of production may not yet all be in
the hands of combines, but they might
as we'll be, for the means of distribu-
tion are, and the keynote of the rail-
roads is "all the traffic will bear"
This also is the motto of the sugar
trust, the coffee trust, the beef trust
and the score of other trusts that alb
solutely command the control of their
commodities, thanks largely to the
protection of high tariff. All the
traffic will bear in their case means
that all the possible profits must be
squeezed out up to the point where
exorbitant prices would cause a Sc
rious falling off in consumption. Be
yond that, of course, 1t is not policy
to go.
Occasionally a trust may lower a
price for reasons of policy 1t may
be overstocked or may want to culti-
vate a larger market by a temporary
concession. But even this does not
often happen; indeed, it is so rare
that such cases are hard to recall. So
the public has learned to base no
hopes on big crops or any other event
that used to make a difference. If
there is any "velvet" the trusts and
the railroads and the jobbers, too,
when they can, are going to have it,
as they have had it now for some
years

A PRODUCERS COMPLAINT

Editor Herald: Your clipping from
Golfers Weekly, giving the experience
of the New York farmer selling
peaches, the railroad and commission
dealer kindly leaving him 73 cents on
thirty-six baskets Of peaches, is sure
to make men look for betterments. 1
own a lot in Ocean Park. Recently
that city ordered a street improvement
more than So a front foot In another
place, not Incorporated, the citizens on
a certain street Joined in an improve
ment on their frontage, hired it done
under competent supervision, and the
same kind of work cost 65 cents front
foot.
[ ordered six sacks of corn from a
farmer in Merced county, Cal 1t cost
96 cents a sack to get it to Tropico
At that rate a carload would cost, in
freight, $3.50. Everywhere and on all
small quantities, whether in freight or
in purchases, people must pay exorbi-
tant prices. The man who buys five
pounds Of sugar or a, peck of apples or
a sack of coal must pay from 20 to 40
per cent more than the man who buys
a barrel OF apples or a sack Of sugar.
[ have been a Republican 'forty-five
years, and If the Socialist party has
remedies for many or even a few Of

Boss Herrin on Socialism

EnqulrerD
All these things have been, could
still be, done by private persons or
corporations-many things hardly less
essential to the welfare of the indi-
vidual are conducted by private enter
prise-street and steam railroads, the
telephone, electric power plants, for
instance. In the early days of Cali
fornia the Pony Express, a public
service corporation, carried letters
"aeroJs the plains" and charged all
the traffic would bear" viz, S. per
half ounce.
No doubt, being employed by pub
lie service corporation, our Mr.. Her
rim would be better pleased IL all serv-
ices rendered to the public We're rem
dered by public service corporations.
There would be no Socialism" under
such conditions. But the tariff for
such services would be, as 1t is for
all existing public service corpora
tions, "all the traffic will bear"
Mr.. Herrin also views with some
alarm the fact that Wisconsin has
elected a Socialist to congress and
that Milwaukee has a Socialist mayor
He should realize that these incidents
are merely protests against the OPP
pressions of the Wisconsin public serv-
ice corporations. Let him also realize
that for the increase in the Socialistio
vote in California, he and his prede-
cessors at the head of the Southern
Pacifc's political bureau are respon-
sible-he, they and the corrupt public
service corporations Of the state.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-17


Mr.. Herrin, the head of the South
ern Pacific's political bureau, In Los
Angeles the other day discoursed ad-
versely on the growth of Socialism.
The employment by the public serv-
ice corporations of the Messrs. Her
rim all over the country is respon-
sible for the growth of Socialism
For had they not been employed our
legislatures. state and national would
pass laws for the benefit of the pub
lie and our courts would not have
been so technical in constituting exist
ing laws against the people.
The Herrins, too, are responsible
for those innovations" the initiative,
the referendum and the recall, for
which there is a popular demand and
against which the Herrins declaim,
For IL the Herrins had not been en-
ployed these innovations" would not
have been necessary to compel public
officials to serve the public rather
than the public service corporations
and the interests.
Carrying the mails" said Mr.. Her
rim in Los Angeles, "is q Socialistic
function" So, by the way, are the
public schools. the municipal owner
ship of water and lighting plants, the
building and maintenance OF streets
and roads at the public expense, the
free public libraries, free hospitals at
public expense, and the thousand and
one other things the public does for
the benefit Of the individual.
