JUDGE LAWLOR

TN THE unusual interest over coun-
ty affairs the voters of Southern
L California should not permit them
selves to overlook the great import
ance of the state contest for associate
| justice of the supreme court. No VIC
| tory over the railroad machine forces
will be comp1ete-indeed, it would be
very ncomplete-unless the courts are
purged of every vestige Of machine and
other sinister influence.
The judiciary has, by common con-
sent, been taken out of the strife Of
party politics. Both of the platforms
of the leading parties in California
have declared for a non-partisan ju-
dietary. After this year the names Of
the judiciary candidates will appear
in a separate column on the ballot,
without partisan denomination, but
this year, owing to still existing laws
of machine days, the candidates are
named in party columns.
Both parties having thus declared
Themselves, you will be just as good
a Republican or just as good a Dem
ocrat, and you will be better citizen,
if you totally ignore party lines and
cast your ballot solely on the ground
of the candidates fitness.
In the Republican column you will
find the name of Mr.. Harry Melvin
He is seeking a reelection. William
F. Herrin of the Southern Pacific gave
him his first nomination and now looks
with fovor on his candidacy for re-
election.
In the Democratic column, opposite
Melvin's name, you will find that of
Judge William P. Lawlor, the man
who achieved national fame as the
presiding officer at the notorious graft
trials in San Francisco. He is a man
of deep learning in the law, he meas
ures up to the highest private and
civic standards, is against special priv
ilege in the courts and for the equality
of rich and poor before our tribunals.
His whole consistent career proves
this.
All that prevented the rich grafters
of San Francisco from riding rough
clean bill of health from the bench
was Judge Lawlors stern refusal to
regard them as entitled to favor be-
cause of their high social position and
wealth. He was one of the few re-
deeming characters that stood out in
the shameful drama of corruption that
was staged in San Francisco-a play
so shameful that it shocked the entire
nation.
We ardently advocate the election
Of Judge Lawlor to the supreme bench,
over Harry Melvin, because he is that
kind of man and judge. We totally
! disregard the question of party. We
| think we regard the purity and fair
| ness Of the highest court more than
we do the welfare of any party as such,
| or any man as such. In this matter
we take the same stand as the Good
Government league OF Los Angeles
county, composed of men of all par
ties, which has indorsed the candidacy
of Judge Lawlor and his running mate,
Benjamin f. Bledsoe.
A vote for these candidates will be
a. vote for an uncontrolled judiciary;
a vote for Melvin, particularly, will be
a vote for one who is on intimate
terms with William r. Herrin. His
election, in our opinion, would largely
offset and undo the good that is ex-
pected to follow the success of candi-
dates for state legislative and admin

TARIFF cRUELTIES

Editor Herald: 1 have just been
reading in the American Magazine Ida
M. Tarbells article on "The Mysteries
and Cruelties of the Tariff" and the
woolen steal.
1.-THE tariff question:" as James G.
Blaine said, when he smashed his new
silk hat on the table of the committee
room, will be the ruination of the Re-
publican party" and that wise states
man knew exactly what he was talk
ing about.
1t is fact that whenever there has
been an attempt made to lower the
tariff on any commodity the tariff bar
ons send up a howl that the business
of that special commodity will be
ruined; that the wages of the laboring
men in that special industry will be
cut down to less than living wage,
(which is bare-faced lie"
When the duty on quinine was taken
off some thirty years ago the chem
ical works sent their lobbyists. with
plenty of Influence" to Washington
to save their business from utter de-
struction." What was the result
The duty came off just the same. Has
that industry been ruined? Have
wages been cut? Look at them today.
Was it dry rot or tommy rot?
The same can be said of the free
hides-business doomed, ten millions
of leather goods were shipped abroad
the first year. Were wages cut? The
"steal," beg pardon, the "steel" in
dustry, got a raise about that time,
the iron workers at Pittsburg had
their wages reduced and-then came
a strike, a strike so severe that shot
and shell were brought into requisi-
ton in order to save the plants of
these poor devils (the tariff barons)
and give them a chance to-say their
prayers
Today those men at Washington.
who frame our tariff laws, can well
afford to pay $5 or $40 for a suit of
pure woolen underwear, but how about
the poor men who earn their bread
by the sweat of their brow? Have they
and the other millions of the middle
class to suffer by sickness in order
that even ten thousands" of tariff
barons may roll in wealth?

AGAINST PORTUGUESE REPUBLIC

Editor Herald: The late Father Lam
bert, the greatest controversialist Of
his time, complained shortly before
his death of the great international
conspiracy against the Catholic church.
The shameless, almost universal prop
aganda of malicious rror and distor-
ton Of everything the Catholic church
has stood for these last twenty CEN
turic is now beginning to bear abun-
dant fruit in Europe and will certainly
begin to show its baleful influence here.
The American press will do we'll to
await further developments before ac-
cepting the so-called republic set up at
Lisbon as bona fide or certain. What
an atrocious burlesque on republican
institutions is this handful of savage
pportunists-lawless agitators tempo
rally victorious o'er a weak and pu-
Grille monarch! What is the truth?
They are no more republican than
Emma Goldman, Herr Berkmann or the
late Herr Most The church, enslaved
under the monarchy, is now made the
victim of unbridled fury that recalls
the dark days of Nero and Diocletian.

MEXICO AS AN EXAMPLE

Edited Herald: A writer in the Wide
World for August, evidently an ad-
mirer of Diaz, tells us that the rur-
ales (police) of Mexico have all been
bandits or the sons of bandits who
in early days terrorized the people,
and that when Diaz became president
it occurred to him that if he could
turn these ruthless 'bandidos' into po-
lice they would effectually control his
subjects. To these rurales Daz just
ly points as a proof of his undoubted
power to rule" So, since it is hardly
likely that any considerable number of
people in this part of the world will
feel disposed to adopt "Anti-Fad-
dist's" idea of the way to deal with
wrongdoers, would suggest that if she
desires to see her theor-' approximately
carried out she go to Mexico. 1
say approximately, because while the
rurales will make it "helP' for the
offenders, their punishment will be
limited to this life.

ARMY POST NEEDED

Editor Herald: I agree with R. H.
Barton that we should have an army
post here. When Gen. A. w. Greedy
was in command of the department OF
the Pacific 1 wrote to him about 1t.
He was good enough to answer my let
ter, said he had already mentioned 1t
to the war department and thought
we would soon have one. Then l was
thinking of it as an attraction, now
1 believe it is a necessity. What would
our small police force and our two
companies of militia amount to if we
had a serious riot here?
