If the expense necessary under the
proposed ordinance. The small farmer
could easily cool his milk to 20 degrees,
get it on the milk car as soon as pos
sible, and it would come into the city in
fine condition. The small farmer could
make a living. The milk supply would
increase. The power of the trust would
be under restraint. reasonable prices
would be maintained. and there would
be mill enough for all the babies.
Conditions would be better for every
body except-the milk trust.
From time immemorial milk has been
recognized as one of the most whole
some and nourishing foods. Little
4 braham, and Isaac and Jacob, were
all brought up on a milk diet, and they
only lived to be a few hundred years
old. However, that was before bacte-
ria were invented, and these people did
not know the awful dangers to which
they were exposed every time they
took a drink of milk. We, of course,
are wiser and must have just the
proper amount of bacteria in ours, if
you please.
Seriously. it is necessary that the
milk be handled with proper care and
kept perfectly clean, but a lot of the
"fool regulations" prescribed by the
Los Angeles board of health at the be-
hest Cf the milk trust are not calcu-
lated to improve the quality of the
milk at all. That is not what they are

TO ABOLISH LANDLoRDIsM

Editor Herald: Socialism teaches the
collective ownership of the means of
production. Why? Because it is only
through collective ownership that
there can be a just assignment of in
comes in due proportion to labor, and
private property in the means of en-
1oyment.
1t will not require much intellectual
venture for Truth Seeker to imagine
the end of landlordisrn in society
that will enable all to obtain property
and place it on an unimpeachabie
basis-that of personal exertion.
Karl Kautsky writes: LAS to the
details of the new social structure, we
are unable to foresee precisely, be-
cause the new social structure is and
will be a product of human evolution
product already in formation and
the outlines of which are plainly Wis
ible and not a construction of the
imagination of any sentimental IDEAL
ist." T'F.

WHY THEY ARE STRENUOUS

Editor Herald: The Rt. Rev. ]. p.
Moulin, lord bishop of Niagara, in an
address before the Empire club "a
women's club is reported to have
made a sensational attack upon sut-
fragettes, especially upon the conduct
of the English suffragettes. The right
reverend gentleman suggests the wa
ter or the rat cure. He would have
the English police armed with a fire
hose nozzle and bag of rats; if the
water cure should fail then as last
recourse to let loose the rats among
these militant women and scare them
into submission.
TO many it may appear that the be-
havior of the English suffragettes in
their agitations is reprehensible, but
those who are acquainted with the
ultra conservatism of the average
Englishman know that he can neither
be reached by logic nor by moral
suasion. New and progressive ideas
have to be pounded into him by force,
and the militant suffragettes of Eng
land in using force are taking a short
cut to victory
But why should Christian ministers
be opposed to woman suffrage? The
success of the church depends more
upon the social and devotional influ-
ence of women than upon its teach
ings; and no church, however con-
servative, can afford to ignore the
rights of women. P. A. JENSEN.

MEAT AND TOBACCO

Editor Herald: Many letters appear
in The Herald against smoking, chew
ing, drinking. and especially. Il took
notice of one writer's godliness ()-a
letter containing this meaning: do
not utilize the land to produce nasty
dirty tobacco but raise food for hogs"
etc. He says raise product to fatten
stock so that we can convert the stock
into beef. pork and mutton.
That assertion CRATES me like the fill
ing of a saw, for the eating of a muir
dered animal is a far greater sin than
thieyery or prostitution. Smoking,
drinking. chewing and other nervous
habits are to be condemned to an eX-

THE SMALL DA1RYMEN

TWO letters to The Herald one of which aF-
pears on this page today, have made out
good case for the small dairymen who are
trying to living by supplying Los Angeles
with milk 1t is, of course, of the highest inn
portance that the milk supply of the city should
be kept pure and in order to keep it pure 1t seems
necessary to adopt rigid rules as to sanitation and
hygiene and enforce them. Some dairymen like
some dealers in other lines of trade, must be
watched to insure honesty, and in the case OF this
commodity, safety.
But there is danger as these correspondents
point out, that under the present ordinance many
of the small dealers may be forced out of business
because of inability to meet the eXactlons as to
cooling, with the result of throwing the business
into the hands of trust that will gain monopoly
and with it whatever exactions it chooses to make
as to prices Economically and socially, it is not
to the public interest to drive small dealers In any
line out of business. There are enough nexorable
forces doing that without Legislative assistance.
The railroads ought to be compelled to cool
their milk cars. Other states and large cities eX-
act it, and one of the first duties of the new legis
lature of this state should be to compel it in Cali
fornia Meantime no great harm is probable if the
present ordinance should be made somewhat less
rigorous in order that the small dairymen may not
be compelled to give up their hard-earned business
to larger rivals.

WHERE TO BEGIN

IF the verdict of the people on the last election
day meant anything it meant that they were
mad clear through about the high cost OF living
and he legislation that had done much to cause it.
Since election some of the tariff reformers have in
sisted that the tariff wool ought to be immedi-
ate1y revised. There is no doubt that the wool
tariff is the biggest steal in the Aldrich law, but
if the party just voted in want to hurry up price
reduction and benefit the largest number in the
quickest way let them turn their attention to these
articles of diet on the dutiable list:

The farmers don't need protection on these
things. There is more demand than supply. The
farmers of Kansas are riding in automobiles and
sending their daughters to college to get polished
off. Kansas is said to be the third state in the
Union in average per capita wealth. In the cities
many children are going to school underfed. Chi
cago has begun to feed them out of municipal
funds.
The taxes on foodstuffs would be good thing
for the tariff reformers to tackle first.

FARMERS WIFE,
OWNED THE MILK
Unexpected Testimony in
Court Case Brings ACquit-
tai For Prisoner

There were surprises galore in the
Court Of General Sessions this morn
ing.
During the course Of the trial of
Samuel Lieberman. Indicted on a
charge Of malicious mischief in spllling
two cans of milk Mrs. Thomas n.
Clark persisted that she was part
owner Of the cows and milk The in
dictment against Lieberman charged
that only Clark was owner OF the milk
and as this was at variance with the
facts the court ordered the jury to re-
turn verdict Of not guilty.
When J. Frank Ball asked for bind
ing instructions for verdict OF not
guilty in the case. the court and meme
bers of the bar were given a qenuina
surprise. The foreman announced that
there were some jurors who did not
agree TO a verdict of not guilty. Judge
Conrad instructed the jury regarding
the law and then a verdict Of not guilty
was given.
Lieberman was represented by T.
Frank Ball. Thomas T. Clark. a New
Castle hundred farmer. was the prose-
cutting witness. The charge was that
Lieberman maliciously upset two cans
Of milk belonging 20 Clark The cans
contained forty quarts OF milk valued
at 50. Clark had q contract to supply
Lieberman with milk. Mrs. Clark
came to town one day in November
TO deliver the milk, but according to
the witness Lieberman refused to nay
the price and took the two cans OF milk
from the wagon and emptied them in
the street.
Thomas T. Clark testified that on No
vember "a he sent three cans OF milk
by his wife TO Wilmington. He was
to get 4 10 cents quart for the milk.
Lieberman was a milk retailer and his
place was In King street, between
Front and Second streets
Mrs. Lizzie w. Clark testified she
brought in the milk. In answer to
Deputy Attorney General walcott.
Mrs. Clark said the milk was as much
hers as that Of her husband.
Mr. Wolcott asked who owned the
cows7
Mrs. Clark answered, we do.
Mr. Wolcott then asked: Mr.. Clark
