RUSSIA IN ASIA

n UssIA is planning a big navy. and
k it is said one Of the reasons for
~ this move is the conviction that
America is trespassing on Russian
rights in Asia. Part of Russia is in
Asia. Upon this circumstance is
founded the claim of Russian rights"
No one makes any secret of the fact
America expects to be benefited COM
mercially by the development of the
Orient. When the huge population of
Asia is added to the competitive pro-
ducing populations of the world, when
it ceases to live for itself alone and
comes forth into the worlds markets,
the Asatic markets will be opened,
and, other things being equal. there will
be a remarkable addition to the pros
perity of the North American cont-
nent particularly the United states,
and especially the western division Of
the United States.
Russia's history has been marked
by colossal blunders. In these days
of progress to attempt by armament
and "bluff" to stem the natural prog
ress of an enterprising and progressive
nation is to commit another blunder
Let Russia develop her enormous re-
sources, and gridiron Asia with her
railroads, and she will be indisputably
the predominant power in the world.
Russia has been held back by many
forms of tyranny, but by none more
barbarc than the militarism which is
now confusing a clear commercial
issue and causing her to waste her
substance in riotous navy building,
instead Of doing what the United States
would do if placed in the position OF
vantage occupied by Russia, and
peacefully "anneXing' the markets Of
Asia by vast system Of railroads,

AUTOMOBILE FEAT

A UTOMOBILE enthusiasts every
II where will be interested by the
a Hanson transcontinental trip.
which proved civilizations new vehicle
is equal to any emergency of road or of
weather A car that could make the
journey from Saratoga, N. Y, to Los
Angeles, could go anywhere. A trip
across the Sahara desert would be
comparatively easy in comparison with
the journey OF the Hanson party.
Power. speed and endurance are the
three qualities which are being de-
veloped In modern automobiles as
they have never before been developed
in any machines devised by mankind.
The journey of the Hansons proves
automobile freight carrying is well
within the possibilities and the scope
of modern machines. Tho day is COM
ing when the railroads no longer will
be rate autocrats, but will have plenty
of competition, not only by water but
by land. Auto freight carriers will
have several manifest advantages over
railroads, but, as far as the public is
concerned, the biggest advantage will
be the elimination OF the monopoly.
There won't be any exclusive franchise
for freight auto routes. and the
feat Of the Hansons helps to prove it
won't be long before freight autos are
in commission.

LOS ANGELES PARKS


w E desire to particularly commend
w to the attention of our readers
~ a communication published in
our columns this morning from Park
Commissioner Silent to the park COM
mission, in which he outlines a COM
prehensive and most attractive plan
for the development of our parks. No
argument should be needed to impress
upon every citizen in Los Angeles the
Importance of the beauty spots of the
city. So far the greatest asset that
Los Angeles has had is the attraction
which her climate and the things
which the climate produces gives her
to people who are in search of the
most agreeable place in the world for
temporary sojourn or permanent resi-
dence. Nothing can add more to the
attraction of our city to strangers and
to the comfort and pleasure of resi-
dents than a park system developed
as such a system can be developed
with our soil and climate. Every cit
izen of Los Angeles should insist that
Judge Sllent's recommendations be
carried out with all possible dispatch,
and should aid and encourage the park
commission and the city council in
every way in this work.

DECLARES MAN is LITTLE
LOWER THAN THE ANGELS

BAKERSFIELD, Feb. 23.-[Editor
Herdi1l: 1 did not have the pleasure of
reading Mr.. Hutchisons letter. but
from the storm of protest ii has called
forth l am sure it must have struck
many in a vulnerable point. / would
not think of defending my sex from
such accusations as Mr.. Hutchison
seems to have brought, because he has
not exceeded the facts.
There are women and women, but the
women who show good sense and judg-
ment, and refuse to follow every hide
GUS fashion that is introduced, are gen.
orally overlooked by men whose prefer
ence for silly, eXtravagant women
shows their own superficiality; and
this wordy contest between men and
women, each trying to show the -su-
perlority of the sex to which they be-
long, Is unreasonable between imperfect
human beings.
There ought to be no question of
equality and no criticism of one from
the standpoint of the other. They arc
entirely different, separate entities, and
one Is made to supplement the other;
and as God gave to man the precedence
in creation, so he has become, and is,
entitled to the precedence in all else,
and If woman would accept the condi-
tions and be satisfied with her place in
the order of creation, there would never
be any friction between the different
parts of that which was intended to be
one harmonious whole.
Women were not made to be rivals
of men, but to be helpmeets, and as
their whole duty in life is to minister
to the wants of men, 1 am sure any
right-minded woman must see that
her place Is a little lower than that Of
man, as man himself was made a
little lower than the angels" How
we'll man has kept his place we ali
know, and yet there are those VINO will
contend that he has risen in the scale
of being instead of having fallen.
If an estimate Is to be made as to
the relative worth of the sexes on the
basis of physical strength and courage,
then man is superior to woman; but
If on the basis of moral strength, then
woman is superior to man. But as the
final adjustment does not rset on either
of these qualities, but on the ability
of each to attain to the perfect stand
ard of character as demonstrated by
the perfect Man, there is something for
each of us to do and to be. In God
sight there is no distinction of sex, but
when we come TO know and do His will,
we become new creatures and equality
Is established in Christ.

DOGS

N ITIZENS of Los Angeles are in
dignant over a determined effort
~ that is being made to create a mad
dog scare. A morning newspaper pub
lished a sensational picture of dogs
attacking a school girl, and followed it
by an outrageous cartoon which, IL al
lowed to pass without comment, may
do a great deal OF injury to Los An
geles. 1t represents a citizen jumping
over a fence in the effort to get out of
the way of a mad dog at the corner o.
Adams and Figueroa streets, a choice
residential district. Now 1t is not true
that mad dogs rush around the streets
of Los Angeles in the manner depicted
in the neighborhood mentioned or in
any other.
In view 0f the fact very determined
effort is being made to create hy-
drophobia scare in Los Angeles, owners
of dogs should keep their pets at home
and never should take them out ex-
cepting on leash. The deplorable fea-
ture Of a mad dog scare is, like every
other suggestive influence, it is likely
to cause real or fancied hydrophohia.
AS the genuine symptoms of tetanic
hydrophoba can also be produced b.
scratches from pins especially black,
and by wounds inflicted by dirty
broken glass, foul pocket knives ana
any and every other kind of germ car
rier that can cut patient and inocu-
late him, we suggest extreme caution
in the use of the articles named is as
sound an anti-hydrophobia policy rs
is dog muzzling.
However, people who have dogs cer-
tainly should take care of them and
keep them at home. Then there Wi!l
be no danger that their pets may be
accused of crimes of which they are
not guilty.
The proposal that the council ask
dog owners to keep their animals at
home for three weeks, during which all
dogs found on the street should be
captured, has the merit of common
sense. 1t would be an act of mercy,
both to the dogs and to the com
munity, to remove the hungry and for
lorn stray ours that prowl about seek
ing what they may devour. An un-
cared for cur may become ugly"
It would be we'll to restrict the terri
tory in which dogs may be kept within
the city limits. Manifestly, there arc
conditions in every great city which
are so entirely foreign to canine ways
and dog dispositions, that to subject
an animal to them is to be guilty of
cruelty. Dogs should not be kept in
the crowded or business districts.
There they are out of place. They
suffer and, under certain conditions,
may become dangerous.

EDUCATION

II T. CRANES own report of his in
IL vestigation into the utility of all
AO' kinds of higher schooling has
reached us. 1t is very hard for us to
consider this book se.juus!y, and we
think great deal of comment of un-
necessary gravity was laVishc1 on the
first part which denounced higher col
legiate education. Ths second part
damns technical schools as unreserved-
ly as the first part damned academic
and classical schools. Mr.. Crane, there
fore, has condemned the entire educa-
tional system of the United States.
Enthused by the wond arful success of
self-made men (who. as a rule, are
either specialists or arc Seniuses Of
perseverance and purpose), he would
have the nation reconstructed on tho
self-made basis, allowing practical eX-
perience to take the place Of the years
now spent in training and preparation
for active life. Mr.. Crane cannot be
taken seriously. Without doubt, a few
extraordinary men have been "worl1-
beaters" without special training, but
Mr.. Cranes inference, which is that If
they had been specially educated they
would not have been wOrld-beaters, is
preposterous. Education is a prepara-
tion for active life. Why should this
preparation be dispensed with because
a few men of exceptional character and
ability have succeeded without it?

wavs the cloak under which nation

line. There never yet was despoiler

nieased to put it, "for the upbuilding
and development of our country
THE schools have failed to produce
a social consciousness that fuses all
the normal forces of life into an or
eanic whole. They refuse to recognize
the class character of our society.
Thev have not guided the tendencies
of our earlier social and Industrial
state into healthy channels that today
would make for racial uplift. The re-
sult is that our plutocracy is drunk
with power and filled with money lust.
our middle and farming classes, as FAR
as they are able, biindly adopt and ape
the morbid aims and pleasures OF the
class above them. The mass of city
wage earners, exploited and brutalized,
bought and sold like cattle at election
time, duped by that vicious legal fc-
tion freedom of contract" are sinking
to a lower and lower level. The fact
of 1000 inhabited windowless rooms
in New York city alone is enough to
condemn our civilization. The life of
our proletariat is a life of savagery,
diverted by beer, baseball and pugi-
lism.
What America needs is a school sys-
tenn that teaches science, and com
bines the education of hand, head and
heart. We need a system that Will
teach the facts of American history,
not a sickenism chauVenism; true
economics, not servility to riches;
clean living, not the aping of para
sites: the dignity and efficiency of
labor, not the accumulation of profits;
natural ethics, not authoritarian hy-
pocrisy.
Unless the schools implant in the
American people new and finer ideals,
our little experiment in self-govern-
ment will be swallowed up by the most
ruthless oligarchy in the world,

would prove his statements he should
not make IL so general. | have known
a few cases where the extravaganza Of
woman has plunged a family into
poverty; but that does not prove that
all or any great percentage of women
are extravagant, and If they were, the
extravaganza of a few would have no
effect on the cost of living for the
masses.
The cause of high prices does not lie
with the consumer or producer, but
with the jobber; who often does not
even see the goods. In many cases 60
per cent of what you pay for an article
goes into the pocket of the jobber, and
seldom does a retail merchant make
any great profit by handling the neces-
sites of life while the jobber gets
the lions share.
If a grocer should be able to UNDER
sell others through buying from some
Independent market, he is boycotted by
the wholesale houses. Many times
corporation is blamed for high prices,
The producing corporation Chose who
manufacture from raw material or
produce articles) seldom foster high
prices but jobbing corporations, such
as beef trusts and big importing cor
porations and home jobhing companies
enhance prices to the detriment of the
consumer.
February 90. printed market reports
of Hauser Packing company show
prices Of beef as follows: Live weight
steers, 41sq4A cents per pound;
heifers, 3A44 cents per pound; cows,
3ik cents per pound.
These prices are paid by this jobbing
company to the producer. This would
make the beef cost the jobber, dressed,
including all the cuts from high-price
Gfa Ire or
heifers, 6% cents per pound; cows,
cents per pound, while consumers pay
from 10 to 25 cents a pound for this
meat. In this case the farmer or pro-
ducer does not get the excessive price,
but the middleman.
Some time ago. needing some heavy
hardware. ] entered a store in Los
Angeles and inquired price on thirty
eight pounds-it was such that would
have made a ton cost 5$14550.
This same material l can purchase
from the manufacturer in the east,
shipped to Los Angeles and delivered
for less than $50 ton. In this case
neither the miner who produces this
ore, the railroad that ships it 2700
miles or manufacturer of 1t into pig
iron and finished product make IL cost
more than $50 a ton to the consumer.
But somewhere in this metropolis the
price is raised to $1455U. Who gets it?
often complaint is made that the
railroad charges excessive freight rates
and thus causes a producer to be un-
able to place his produce on the mar
ket. A farmer near Newton, Kan,
fed his apples to his hogs because he
could not obtain price from the job
ber that would pay for picking and
hauling to station. And the blame
was laid to the excessive freight rates
of the railroad. Apples were retailing
in Chicago at SO a bushel; the freight
rate was is cents bushel from
Newton to Chicago. Was 1t the rail-
road or jobber in this case who de-
manded excessive rates? Go after the
jobber and do not lay the blame on
women's extravaganza. T. II.

challenge. For instance, he assailed

TN remarkable article by that

in Sundays Herald. the following
statement was made: THE crime
problem is by far the most important
one before the American public to-
day. On it's correct solution may de-
pend the very existence of this nation
as a civilized power"
It is probably unnecessary to remind
most of our readers that crime is
not a social cause, but a social ef-
feet. Take away the cause, and the
possibility of effect is removed.
We leave out of consideration the
"depraved," the degenerate" and tho
naturally born criminals;" because
they are not dishonest. They do not
know what honesty Is: they cannot
comprehend what 1t means. 1t isn't

of the patent idlocies of the age.

SAYS PRESENT SYSTEM WILL
LEAD TO RUTHLESS OLlGARcHY

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 27.-[Editor
Herald: The American schools, both
public and parochial, are an egregious
failure. What is the purpose of any
right school system but to improve
society and the Individual? Yet this
is lust the thing that our schools have
failed to do.
The proof? Among a multiplicity of
symptoms, read the most striking in
the crime statistics of the United
States. Ten thousand persons are
murdered in this country every year
-"shot, strangled, poisoned, stabbed
or beaten with a club or sandbag," +"
according to Hugh G. Weir in "The
World Today" In Chicago there are
an average of 11S murders a year.
Paris, which we are so often told is
unspeakably wicked, in the same pc
riod shows only fifteen murders and
attempted murders. Georgia alone in
the course of q year, with forty-five
killings, records more killings than
the whole of the British empire More
persons are murdered in the United
States in three years than the total
number killed in the British army in
the Boer war. We have more muir
ders in this country every year than
Italy, Austria, France, Belgium, Eng
land, Ireland, Scotland, Spain, Hun
gary, Holland and Germany together!
Think of it, o you mouthers Of
Americas greatness And the situa-
ton seems growing worse; for there
are today four and a half times as
many murders for every million of our
population as there were twenty years
ago
What does this blood record cost a
year? Including property stolen and
destroyed, money spent on police,
courts, jails, penitentiaries. reforma
tories, etc, the total equals the stag
gering sum of $1,S7S, 900 OOOOo-exceeding,
by the way, by bare hundred million

~ AN FRANCISCO'S Hetch Hetchy
water plan has been vetoed by

John Muir and others interested in the
conservation of natural resources have
won their fight. 1t is to be hoped san
Francisco will find method of furnish

Francisco were "Hetch Hetchy or go
out of business" we presume there
would be no objection to the proposed
sacrifice, though it might cause a pang
to nature lovers.
But with the magnificent example Of
Los Angeles, which solved the water
problem by tapping a distant river; and
with a parallel in the case of Glasgow,
Scotland. which brought to the city
the waters of Loeb Katrine without
injuring the Trossachs, it becomes evil

for years to come, and Mr.. Muir says
there are many other available water
