SOME LOCAL HISTORY

Editor Herald: If Citizen will send

of cars on Maple avenue to the super

sured that the conditions will be rem
edied, as the like conditions prevailed
on Moneta avenue, but are now abated
somewhat by order of the superin-
tendent, after the matter was drawn
to his attention by the writer.
After all, it doesn't seem long since
the rapid moving of cars and the noise
herewith would have sounded like
heavenly music to the weary worker

UNCLE SAM MOVES

n EPORT has it that Assistant Sec
X retary of the Interior Pierce is
AU on his way from Washington tC
investigate the oil district of Califor-
mia and the conditions surrounding the
title of the Southern Pacific railroad
to its large holdings of land on which
this form of wealth exists or is sup
posed to exist. This lends hope to the
belief that the federal government
may already have taken informal cog
nizance of the attitude of the recent
mining congress and purposes If pos
sible to act in behalf Of the public if
conditions are found seeming to war
rant it.
The claim of the railroad corpora
| tion is based on it's technical con-
struction of the original land grants
from the government and of the word
mineral but if the matter of tech
nicality is pressed by them the gov
ernment can probably be made to see
that there is a question whether the
company that has made a fortune out
of an increment never dreamed of has
been so scrupulous about technical
matters when it cameto fulfilling the
conditions Of the grant.
The corporation was given the land
on condition that it would sell at a
nominal price to settlers for the pur-
pose of developing the country. 1t has
not done so. 1t has sold what it
disposed Of to the highest bidder, and
has held on to other portions for fu-
ture speculation. 1t not only appears
to have no good legal claim to the min
erals, which were exempt in the grants.
but has been guilty of bad faith all
through, which takes away from it all
moral right to hold the land to its own
enrichment.
With this main question is involved
the possibility that the invalidating Of
the railroads title will do harm to
purchasers of their land Such buy
ers had opportunity to know that min
erals were exempted. Ignorance of
the law is no excuse. Nevertheless,
Uncle Sam is not a hard taskmaster
and if h won back the lands he would
without doubt deal generously with
! those who bought in good faith, Pub
lie opinion would not support any 9TH
er course. An act Of congress-and
! future congresses will not be so domi-
mated by corporations as those of the
reeert pasl--would speedily take care
! of innocent sufferers.
! 1t is encouraging 10 learn that the
interior department is taking up the
question without further delay. That
in itself is an evidence that corpora
tion influence at Washington is al
ready giving way before the wave of
protest expressed in recent elections.

LABOR AND CAPITAL

Editor Herald: We hear a great
deal of talk about the tug of war;
between labor and capital.
What is capital? 1t is the surplus
of a mans earnings. Does not the
young man when he begins to toll save
day? Every day he lays by part OF
his wages. He places this in bank
and day after day he adds more money
to his store, until by and by, like the
SNOWFALL that the children roll over
and over in the snow that is four or
five inches deep, the small ball rolled
over and over, it becomes a large,
heavy mass of snow.
The young mans money will grow
as the months go by into a large sum,
and this large sum of his daily saw
ings becomes his capital. The size OF
his capital does not depend upon how
large a salary he receives. 1t depends
upon how much he SAVES out of his
daily earnings.
Then the young man, If wise Will
place this capital where the money,
we'll put, will bring him back re-
has become a capitalist.
Oh, 1t makes my heart ache to hear
a demagogue trying to upraise and
to antagonize labor against capital.
They are twin sisters that go hand
in hand, working daily for the com
mon good of our happiness, success
and prosperity. A WAGE EARNER.

Mr.. Woolwine's Charges

Outlo0k)
came through with another explana-
tlon; and this was Immediately fol-
lowed by an answer from Woolwine
which must have seriously jolted those
friends of Fredericks who were cling
ing to the hope that he would clear
tho matter up, for every material
statement made in his explanation
was shown by inoontestable documen-
tary evidence to be absolutely false.
What is the matter with Freder-
iclls? Has he entirely taken leave of
his senses9 Or has he grown so be-
sotted in his devotion to machine poll
tics that he thinks the public lacks
common intelligence? The case is not
a complicated one, and fortunately
every phase of it can be clearly shown
with court records, affldavits, Freder-
ioks' own letters and certain real es-
tate transfers, The thing cannot be
hluffed off, and the field for falsifying
is limited. Captain Fredericks hints
that when he gets a little more time
he will come through with some more
explanations. Very well. The pub
lie Is a patient being. A week, or
even ten days, as at his disposal Evil

sible in the facts; he may, however,
present us with some kind of an argu-

FoR THF BAR 70 SAY

TN its discussion of the charges
brought by Thomas Lee Woolwine
\ against the district attorney, Capt,
Fredericks, particularly those relating
to the case of the forged King wills,
the Pacific Outlook makes the point
that the people of the county gener-
ally should perhaps not be SO keenly
interested as the members of the pro
fession of which the district attorney
is a part.
The Legal profession, says that pa
per. has lost a good deal in the public
estimation during the last third of a
century by its apparent disregard of
the ancient ideals. Time was when
the Interpretation of the law was
sacred function, not a scheme to wiring
the last dollar out of people in trouble.
1t is not alone Capt. Fredericks, the
district attorney of Los Angeles coun-
ty, that is on trial in this affair: the
bar as a whole in its condonement or
condemnation of the offense must
show its conception of the duty of
solicitor toward his client-and the
people are the district attorneys
client"
The legal profession, not alone here,
but all over the country, is in much
the same position before the people as
our federal senate. The high esteem
to which both are entitled by every
reason of power and responsibility has
been in recent years largely sacrificed
through the chicane of leaders who
have foresworn the old ideals to fol-
low after the false god of money, who
has corrupted them. One. very serious
thing that can hardly be disputed IS
that the perversion of the law for rich
pay by some of the ablest and most
distinguished of its supposed guar
dams has put upon the country the
evils that are the direct outcome of
monopoly, extortion and corruption by
the trusts. Adroit evasion of laws
planned by lawyers, gave most of the
trusts life and have enabled them TO
defeat justice. The legal profession
has been made the handmaiden of the
worst social and political force in the
country.
1t is for the honorable members OF
an honorable profession to rescue it
from the disrepute into which it has
fallen by casting out its harpies and
publicly disavowing their methods. AT
present one of their number is under
the very gravest charges, with appar-
emily incontestable proof of their truth
the plunder of an estate and the be-
trayal of trusting clients. The charges
are made by a responsible member OF
the bar,
How can such accusations fail to
stir others of the profession upon
whom they must inevitably reflect as
such? How can one who is proud and
jealous of it's noble traditions refrain
from trying to remove the tarnish?
In the hands of the members Of the
bar is the power to preserve or destroy
the popular confidence and respect for
their calling.

favored as many terms as man could
fill acceptably. Washington was tired
at the end of his second term. He had
been bitterly criticised and lampooned
by partisan enemies. He yearned to
pass his remaining days on his Vir-
ginia estate in peace and comfort. Col
lier's Weekly has dug up some Of his
correspondence showing what he really
thought about a third term in the
abstract. 1t is shown clearly enough
by his whole course of thought, but for
the benefit of those who continually
quote him as obiecting to more than
two terms are offered these words writ

influence in the choice of president,
I confess I differ widely myself

That ought to hold the third-term
fallacists for a while. Finally, it
might be pointed out that some other
countries have no bars to the re-elec-

think they want, and they don't drift
into relationships or empires,

lessened the attendance at the encamp-
ment, and the absence of criticism
about the militia turnout from the
other parts of the state implies that
the basis of a general indictment is
a purely local circumstance.
So far as this paper is aware the
business men of California are giving
the militia a helping hand. 1t ts as
suredly so in this city, where, as We'll
as in the state at large, the. pressing
question of armorles has been inteill-
gently taken up and where the militia
appears publicly in a form to suggest
that the business men are liberal with
leaves of absence. In a day or two
the field reports will come in from the
1910 encampment at Atasoadero; but at
this writing the regular army head
quarters here has heard nothing TO
indicate that the attendance of the
guard was below par.
In any case, what would 1t have 10
do with the appeal of California Tor
more ships of war? That Is an appeal
for proper national defenses, not mere
ly for local safeguards; and such de.
lenses and safeguards It IS a duty OF
congress to provide, whether there is
any militia here or not.

The Army and Navy Journal finds a

CRIME A DISEASE

Editor Herald: 1t is very gratifying
to learn through your columns that our
very able superior judge, Frank B.
Willis, has been spending a profitable
season throughout the middle west and
the east in visiting prisons and noting
the more humane treatment accorded
to prison inmates. Indeed, 1t seems as
though the dawn Of a better day is at
hand when man is learning to show
reason and pity to his brother man
who is in the tolls of degradation and
crime.
We are beginning to learn that crime
is a disease, that the moral delinquent
is sick and needs treatment, not VEN
geance. Let the old barbarous chain
