WILL HE AID LODGE?

w ORD has come into the west
w via the Associated Press that
Roosevelt will campaign for the
reelection of Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge Of Massachusetts,, who declares
the ultimate consumer is a myth"
Roosevelt's admirers are gulping hard
over this information They have been
educated by LaFollette and other lead
ing progressives TO know Lodge as a
tool of Aldrich and the special in
terests.
They also have the word of no less
authority than Representative Butler
Ames, Republican insurgent Of
Lodges state. that the political ma
chine of Senator Lodge is backed by
all the large corporations" and is used
to advance the selfish financial
schemes of the large railroads, bank
ing and manufacturing interests he
Lodge) serves in the halls Of con-
gress."
Roosevelt's great popularity has been
largely due to the belief of the people
that he was the enemy of such cor
pOratlOn servers as Lodge. Therefore
all over the land the exp presidents
friends are asking: How can Roose-
welt conscientiously speak for man
like Lodge?"
The explanation probably Hes in the
fact that the ex-president and the SEN
ator are both Harvard men and con-
genial spirits in their literary tastes
Whatever Roosevelt does for his friend
will be done as a matter of loyalty and
because his ardor in such matters some
times obscures the larger view as it
appears to the public. 1t is an admir-
able trait; one Of the virtues of his
faults.
However, after all this is said, it may
not be true that he purposes to stump
for Lodge.

without temperance in all respects
physical, mental and spiritual-and no
one can live the temperate life with
out the poise of self-command. There
are hygienists who say it is within
the power of practically all persons to
live 100 years. The career of Louis
Cornaro, the Italian savant, seems to
lend probability to the claim, With a
naturally frail physique that he had
brought to the verge of dissolution
at 80 by bad habits Cornarc suddenly
mended his ways and by the adoption
of a temperate regimen Of diet and
pleasures lived to pass 100. Within
three years of his death he was agile
and strong enough to mount horse
and ride it off unassisted.
Horace Fletcher, the dietitian, says
that in few years it will be un-
fashionable to be sick. Perhaps in time,
as we learn the laws of hygiene bet
ter, it will be a disgrace to die under

should like to offer the following re-

1t is not possible to touch one or
the social problems of the hour with
out running up against the struggle
between collectivism and individual
ism, for the whole question always is
whether such an industry will be bet
ter left to public or private regula-
ton or operation The tariff discus

a tariff we interfere, professedly for
the good of the. COLLECTIVELY, with the
right of the individual to trade where
he can do the best.
Similarly the agitation against the
railroads is an effort to regulate pri-
vate enterprise in the interests of the
public. All factory legislation, regula-
ton of the liquor traffic and hundred
and one such attempts involve the RI
val claims ofthe individual and the

Beneath all this lies the deeper and
far more important question, never
considered by the ordinary reformer,
of whether you should not begin by

California produces so many things
of so many kinds that it Is not sur
prisine to learn that 1t now bids fair
to become an important producer OF
iron. Biologists of the United states
geological survey have recently been
studying the deposits of iron ore IN
that state, and in an advance chapter
of an annual bulletin containing short
papers and preliminary reports on eco
monte geology announce that the de-
posits are abundant and important.
San Luis Obispo, Calaveras, Placer san
Bernardino, Shasta, Sierra, MADEIRA,
Tehama, Nevada and Riverside coun-
ties all contain more or less important
iron resources. The Minaret deposits,
MADEIRA county, and the Eagle noun
tain deposits, Riverside county, are
probably the largest in the west. The
investigations were made and the de-
posts are described chiefly by e. c.
Harder, who was assisted in, the work
in San Bernardino county by j. l..
Rich.
The Perfume canyon deposits in san
Luis Obispo county consist of a nearly
vertical bed of limestone about a mile
long and eight to twelve feet thick. IL
is supposed to be a bog iron deposit
which may have a thickness of $500
feet, forming an immense mass of low
grade ore. In advance of careful eX-
ploration, however, it is UNSAFE TO
count on a thickness of more than lOO
feet. The ore contains about as per

cent of iron and a large percentage of
phosphorus.
In Calaveras county there are sew
eral small deposits of brown iron ore,
at places a mile and a half northeast
of Valley springs, half mile north of
Esmeralda and a mile north of Muir
ply. The Detert, near Valley springs,
shows several outcrops of iron ore;
the largest body exposed is fifty feet
long and six feet wide, and rises about
fifteen feet above the level of the knoll
on which it occurs. All the Calaveras
deposits are small, of low grade and
of little present value.
Placer county contains the Hotaling
deposit, which is six miles north of
Auburn. This has been opened by
trenches, pits and shafts that extend
along the outcrop for $50 or 300 feet.
Most of the ore is of low grade, but
the deposit contains local masses of
clean and high grade ore.
The San Bernardino county deposits
are near Dale. The principal veins.
which are nearly vertical, crop out
over an area about half a mile square,
forming a long hill. There are fifty or
more veins, but less than ten are ten
feet thick; the longest is about AIS feet
Ions. Most of these ores are hematite.
altered from magnetic, though some
are limonite. The ores are very pure
and of high grade, but do not appear
to be extensive enough to make them
attractive commercially.

The Doom of Glad Rags

of course, was viewed with alarm" by
the women, who had hitherto enjoyed
a monopoly Of the rainbow's hues.
They feared that man was plotting a
return to the styles of his great grand
father and might soon blossom forth
in silk coat with lace cuffs, velvet
breeches and buckled shoes. Where
would that leave woman as the leader
of fashion?
The late Mark Twain, who wore a
white flannel suit in all seasons and
was an ardent advocate of more pic
turesque effects in masculine garb, was
popularity regarded in feminine circles
as bordering upon lunacy. Any mascu-
line pioneer along this line runs the
same risk. A season or so ago 1t
looked as though men were commence
ing to take concerted action against
feminine tyranny and getting ready to
dress as they saw fit. But 1t Is now
apparent that their case is hopeless.
One thing, however, let it be under
stood by those who prescribe the fash
ions, men will not stand for. They
will draw the line at return to the
frock coat and tall hat for daily wear.
Not all the tailors ana women in the
country could make them readopt
those habiliments of WOO. But even
with this declaration of independence
the sartorlal outlook for men is suf-
ficiently gloomy.

The OLD ROSE DRESS

Beneath the caves where the fragrant bloom
Sweeps back and forth like the players
bow
Across the strings, and the attic room
Is filed with a cadence soft and low
Away in the. corner. where none may know,
a chest is hidden-groWn old so soon
And there, with the treasure of long ago,
The old rose dress Of another June.
Her first long dress; for the bride was
young,
The day she buried the gown among
Her cherished things, and she left it
there,
Now Time has whtened her raven hair.
And life sings low in a plaintive tune,
Except when she steals UP the attic stair,
To the old rose dress of another June
Her own have come and her own have gone,
And all haYe stood meath the marriage
bell,
Where guests were gathered to bid them on
Their rosied way and TO wish them well
The guests have gone and the silent spell
Has come. that follows the bridal noon
And found her there. where the teardrops

No man may know OF a woman's part
In LIES whole test. nor the tears it
brings
Nor understand how her woman's heart
Is all enwrapped by the little things

And. o the wealth OF the joy that clings

Chicago is having an exhibition of
mems clothing, showing the advance
styles for fall and winter, which Is
being attended by tailors from all parts
of the country The dominant note,
according to one of these authorities,
is to be conservatism. PLAINLY mod
eled suits, cut without any of the fancy
quirks and twists the men went mad
over a year and two years ago, will be
the rule. Gaudy colors mustn't be
worn any more, either. No matter
what the color, IL must be plain and
not a rainbow riot that clashes on the
eye and makes a man conspicuous
when he is still block away"
It's easy to perceive who have the
real say about mems fashions. Not the
tailors, but the tailors' wives. And
they, in turn, are probably acting in
the interests of the feminine sex in
general. Women don't want any COM
petition in the matter of plumage, They
hadn't any in modern times until few
wears ago. Most men wore black,
brown or dark gray, and shirts with
out a vestage of color. Even the tan
shoe for men was unknown. Then, be-
ginning to gain some courage, man
gradually introduced a little color into
his attire looking less like chronic
mourner and more like a normally
happy human being. This innovation,

Railroads on the Defensive
(san Francisco CalD


on August % in Chicago will begin
before the interstate commerce COM
mission the most important railroad
hearing In the history of the country.
This is the controversy between the
shippers and the railroads, turning on
the question whether existing rates
are sufficiently high to afford a rea-
sonable return on the investment, and
further 1t involves the constitutional
ity of the power to regulate rates con-
ferred on the interstate commission by
the recent legislation of congress. 1t
is, in fact, controversy that must go
to the root of the matter in all its
phases.
This Is dispute that must take
years to settle in all its bearings, but
the early hearings before the commits
sion will be concerned wholly with the
facts as they bear on the question OF
a reasonable return. The arguments
on. either side are thus roughly sum-
married.:
For the railroads:
Increase in the cost of living; IN
creased wages and cost of equipment
warrant increased rates.
The agitation over railroad demands
Is hurting business and should be end
ed by giving the roads what they want
Against the railroads.:
The railroads have been wallowing in
profits for two decades and their. in
Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-19


crease in earnings more than offsets
any increase In expenses.
A rate advance is needed by the roads
in order to support dividends on an
ocean of watered stock, and any gem
eral increase allowed will be likely to
precipitate another stock watering
panic of the 1907 brand.
The railroads should be compelled to
open their books and prove that they
need the money.
The alleged increase in expenses is
largely due to grating concessions to
officials within the management of the
railroad corporations.
Under the recent act of congress the
burden of proof is placed on the rail-
roads to show affirmatively that they
are losing money by the existing rates.
In view of the balance sheets of the
Union and Southern Pacific companies
this should be a difficult undertaking.
1t need not be disputed that operating
expenses have increased, but with all
this the balance shows a substantial
growth of the net earnings and a suf-
ficient surplus to continue the present
high rate OF dividends on stock of
which no inconsiderable part is water.
There is no disposition to be unfair to
the railroads, but they viii rave to
prove their case and there ma be an
end to the arbitrary power of taxation

Statue of Augustus Unearthed

emperor bears traces of recent pain
and suffering and almost reveals
man of middle age.
AS the statue represents Augustus
with the toga drawn over his head 1t
was concluded that the emperor was
portrayed in the act of Offering sac
rifice and hence wearing sacerdotal
garment. Professor Pasqui, however,
remarks that not only priests wore
their togas drawn over the head, but
also great nersonages who participated
in religious and civil functions.
The statue consists. of two pieces and
the head Is detached from the body.
evidently the statue represented orig
inally q different person, possibly Jul
ius Caesar, and the head is the work
of a great sculptor, as 1t is excellently
finished and quite unlike the rough
work and indifferent drapery OF the
body.
The statue is important not only as
an artistic work, but also as 1t shows
the emperor under new aspect. In
fact IL is the only statue of Augustus
at the age of 49, and very. probably It
is the latest made in the emperors
lifetime.
Professor Pasqui refused TO allow the
statue to be photographed until re-
Gently, a sign that the government IN
tends to purchase it.
According to a new law voted on
June 20, 1909, the state has the right
to claim one-half of the ownership of
every archaeological find and enjoys
the right of exemption in case of
sale There is little left for Signor
Partini to do, therefore, but accept
sum of money representing the value
of his half of the statue, which will
remain in the museum of the Thermae.

GOOD POLICE WORK

~ ONE days ago The Herald said
there had been too many cases
~ of robbery accompanied with VIC
lence in Los Angeles in the past few
months, and that it was up to the
police to see that some of the profess
sional crooks that have come here to
ply their trade are punished for the
deterrent effect.
1t is pleasure to commend the de-
tectiYes of the department for the
prompt apprehension of the men who
committed the worst of these crimes.
the holdup and robbery of the pawn
shop of A. I. Shapiro, 404 North Main
street, on the morning of August 8,
when X. 1. Pearson, aged clerk for
Shapiro, was bound and gagged and
the store robbed of 5000 in cash and
$4,000 in jewelry and diamonds and
watches.
One of the men wanted for the crime
has been in custody for some days
He was run down through so small a
clew as a stickpin. His pal was located
here, then traced to Chicago where he
and most of the booty were taken,
with the aid only of a photograph to
start the search.
There seems to be no doubt of the
the result of clever work that would
have done credit to any department in
the country. %

WILL TAFT WAKE UP?

w E WONDER If the defeat of Mr..
w McLachlan by Mr.. stephens
" who made his whole race upon
the reputation of Cannonism and Aid
richism and everything for which they
stand, including the late tariff in
EQUITY which they inflicted upon the
country in violation of the pledges of
the Republican national platform, will
make any impression upon Mr.. Taft.
The fact that in California the reg
ular" Republican organization, backed
up as it was by the railroad political
machine that had for thirty years sue
cessfully asserted its power, could not
protect such abject servants of the in
terests and friends of Cannon as Mr..
| McLachlan and Mr.. McKinlay, ought
to have some effect in convincing Mr.
Taft that in aligning himself with
! Cannon and Aldrich, and attempting
| to defend their infamous product, the
| Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, he has made
a mistake which, unless he hastens to
correct it, will result in himself and
his administration being finally re-
pudlated by all the best element of his
party.
In view of the recent results in
Kansas, Iowa and California the presi-
dent should, unless he is hopelessly
dense, begin to understand that he
must cut loose from a lot of associates
whom he has in the past permitted to
become entirely too intimate and in
fluential with himself and his admin
istratioQ
We have for some time thought that
Mr.. Roosevelt was refraining from TAX
ing any position concerning the Taft
administration until he gave Mr.. Taft
an opportunity of getting out of the
unfortunate affiliations which he has
in the past contracted, and placing
himself in that respect in a proper
position before the country
Everyone must know that, having
stood for Mr. Tafts nomination and
really accomplished that by using the
great influence which the confidence
of the people gave him, it would be
exceedingly disagreeable for Mr.. Roose-
Welt to have to repudiate the presi-
dent whom he had virtually created.
At the same time, men who know Mr..
Roosevelt's career and character and
have confidence in the man realize
that he cannot approve Mr. Taft and
his administration so long as he stands
with and for such men as Cannon,
AldPich Ballinger and a lot of others
to whom he has in the past given too
much Of his confidence and whom he
has permitted to have too large an
influence with him.
We have believed, and still believe,
that if Mr.. Taft gives an earnest show
ing Of his intention to be, as pMsl-
dert what Mr.. Roosevelt thought he
would be when he favored his nominal
ton and election by the Republican
party, Mr.. Roosevelt will accord him
his support and Endorsement. How
ever, the time is coming shortly when
Mr.. Roosevelt will have to speak out
upon this matter, and he cannot accord
to Mr. Taft very much longer time
in which to give proofs of repentance
Of his past mistakes by dismissing
from his circle and the service Of the
country some of the men whom he has
drawn around him
We are Wondering whether Mr.. Taft
will wake up to the true conditions
in time to save himself both before
the people and in the favor Of Mr.
Roosevelt.
