TWO MEN

TT is said Taft's exact words to
/ Woodruff concerning the situation
Il in New York state, which We're
toned down by obliging reporters be-
fore being put on the wire, were: For
Gods sake avoid a fight" The presi-
dents desire TO take the line of least
resistance caused him to let Woodruff
depart from Beverly with his tacit il
not expressed O. x. on the "old
guards" snub Of Roosevelt and
Hughes.
A few days later, when Sherman,
puffed up with his supposed victory,
had boasted and made the trouble,
Colonel Roosevelt said: Il purpose to
go to the convention and we will give
them all the fight they want"
In those contrasting attitudes of Taft
and Roosevelt is to be found the
measure of the two men, and the ex-
planation why the people have lost
faith in the one and still trust the
other

ture:
Rent 500 to $25 a month; household
expenses, $50 to $35 a month; allowing
$50 for miscellaneous expenses, which
clothing, sickness and pleasures may
call for.
Every Pullman conductor is under
bond to at least $500 and handles daily

Nothing has been said about extra
laundry expense involved by men oc-
cupying positions of this kind, nor of

QUOTES NEW YORK FIGURES
AS TEACHING AWFUL LESSON

Editor Herald: 1 have noticed from
time to time many earnest communi-
cations to The Herald on the subject
of crime and the treatment of Grim
inals. What / have just been reading
in an evening paper leads me to offer
few remarks. The passage 1 refer
to runs as follows:
More than 10000 persons applied for
municipal relief in New York city
during 1909, an increase of so per cent
in five years. During 1909 more than
100000 persons applied for shelter in
New York lodging houses. This was
more than double the highest record
of similar applications during the last
seven years. The records show that
between 1904 and 1909 suicides have in
creased in New York by so per cent,
and that the chief cause of suicide is
poverty"
There you have your crime problem
stated so plainly that only mind
corrupted by privilege-which ap-
parently will rot the finest intellect
can fail to see it. For if hundreds can
be driven by want to the ultimate of
despair-suicide-it is certain that
there must be thousands who will rob
and pillage and murder before they
will take their own lives.
1t is we'll to protest against the in
humanity with which these unfor-
tunate victims of special privilege are
treated by police officers and others
in authority, but it is also we'll to re-
member that treating them like angels
will not bring us one step nearer the
solution of the problem. So long as
we have a set of institutions that turns
out automatically multimillionaires
and, as O necessary supplement,
wretches so desperate and poverty
stricken that they take their own
lives in increasing numbers the crime
problem will remain unsolved. As 1t
is I know at least one millionaire,
whose name is a household word
throughout the country. who is posi-
tive we shall have the worst revolu-
ton in history. II. D. OGILVIE.

Nothing less than the dissolution or
the nation will prevent the organiza-
ton of the state of Alaska. In 1885,
when California was admitted into the
Union, she had no lines of railway
telegraph, trades or business connect
ing her with the other states, and was
thought to be only valuable for placer
gold. Her agriculture and trade, her
railroads and present grandeur have all
grown since her admission. Alaska IS
a greater country and richer in all its
natural resources than California was
in 1850. Alaska has more gold than
California and Colorado, more copper
than Montana and Arizona, more coal
than Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Ohio, and more fish than all other
American waters combined. Her out
put of gold and fish for last year
amounted to nearly $32,O00,0OO, and had
increased from $150OO,OOO in 1900. Her
Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-28

total cash trade with the rest of the
United States for 1909 amounted to
more than $52OOO,OOO. while that be-
tween China and the United States
amounted to only $4S,O00,000. She is a
better customer to the merchants OF
the United States than Hawaii, Porto
Rico or the Philippines. The trade
value of every white man, woman and
child in Alaska with the United States
for 1909 amounted to $1302.75, while that
of every inhabitant in Hawaii amount
ed only $277. .65, Porto Rico to $4S.51 and
the Philippines to $3.50.
Alaska has a better climate and
greater agricultural capacity than Nor
way, Sweden and Finland combined.
Her rich and fertile valleys are capable
of supporting a much larger population
than that of the three countries named,
without mentioning the population
which will be supported by her mines
and other natural resources.
