SOME ARGUMENTS ANSWERED

Editor Herald: "1S II not true lii"'
today if women urge any moral reaol IN
thew are believed to be honestE Ineln y
motives are literally above susplclon'
says Mrs. Mary CasWell ia :"
paper of Saturday. ~
Undoubtedly women's interest NJ
moral reform is above suspicion Inc
world confesses that fact with ho NJ
tie nride that the mothers of the race
have the welfare of their nelghpors
as well as themselves at heart. Woman
wants clean cities, she wants PuIe
food. she wants fresh air ana WARM
clothing for children, she wants ialr
n1ov to her children and all other
children of the world. She wants, IN
short to see decency and fair play
prevail in every part of pubic anu
nrivate life. Mrs. CasWell has put
the worth publicly of woman most
antly. And when women md thaL
their power in reform goes SO Iar ailq
no farther until they have the paliot
they with characteristic PERSISTENCE
seek for woman that vote which VIII
fnrther her influence in general re-
form. ...o,,
Mrs. Caswell breads to see women
given the ballot for fear that political
bosses will make short work of wage
earning women. They have not sue
cessfuily downtrodden the wage-earn-
ing man. Then why the Wage-eaiii-
ing woman? 60,
Again Mrs. Caswell infers that Cail-
fornia will be sadly off indeed II the
ignorant women add their vote TO
that of the ignorant men of our state.
Really, are there so hopelessly many
of either ignorant men or women IN
our state? What, then, has become
of the cream Of the eastern and MID
die states that have come TO our
shores to merge their vote with ours
What, indeed has become of the thouc
sands upon thousands OF students OF
our colleges and universities VINO nave
remained in their own state to make
their future successes? Are we SO oe-
nighted a land that a large vote Is
worse than a small and select oneF
Mrs. Caswell is pessimistic about
the number of immoral women that
are tolerated within our boundaries.
In comparison with other states there
are really not so many that they
would streak with venom the vote or
the women of California. The vote or
had men has not altogether dominated
This state. Why, then, the alarm
about the bad women of California?

OPPOSES BOND ISSUE

Editor Herald: In view of the fact
that we have endured so much at the
hands of the solid three" self-pro-
viders of the board of supervisors
wouldn't it be ridiculous to vote $1S,-
900, 900 for good roads all outside our
own county and for which our county
must pay one-fourth of the principal
and more than one-fourth of the inter-
est covering a period of so years,
which principal under certain auspices
might be more skillfully exploited for
private ends and aims than has been
the C1se above referred to?
II the state is going to bond itself
for the iprovement of its roads let her
legislators frame an impartial square
deaP' measure under provisions pro-
viding reasonable protection against
Imalfeasance.
In view of the apparent attempt to
do an injustice to this end of the state,
if we do not qualify the attempt by a
stronger term, many intend, as does
the writer, to vote against the exposi-
tion bonds as we'll as the good road
issue as rebuke to such dastardly
schemes.
Speed the day when such impositions
shall no longer be attempted.

cRlPPEN,s CASE

Editor Herald: I fully concur with
your fair and impartial views expressed
in your editorial in reference to- the
Crippen trial The laxity and petit
foggery in the trial of criminals in this
country are a travesty, perversion
of Justice and a byword to the nations.
Crippen's defense was the weakest l
ever read OLA plausible story to
"avert a scandal"
1 repudiate the statements expressed
by NJ G. McCaslin in your issue of
October 2S in behalf of Crippen's muir
dered wife. 1 would deem it beneath
the dignity of any gentleman to cast
aspersions on her character. Such in
situations are unjustifiable. We must
deal with facts and not hearsay.
Miss Leneve was acquitted for the
lack of sufficient evidence to implicate
her in the crime. She got the full ben
eft of the doubt. Does Mr.. McCaslin
consider her a person of questionable
reputation also?

BELLS DETRACTORS

wv E are unable fully to understand
wv the motives and the methods of
some of the managers and
newspapers behind Hiram Johnson in
their campaign of detraction against
Theodore Bell. In their own candidate
they ought to be able to find enough
virtues to make a strong bid for popu-
lar support, but that kind of campaign
seems to have been forsaken for an
other whose keynote is a manifest de-
sire to undermine Bells support by
blackening his character or painting
him as the consort of men considered
enemies of clean government.
For example, Mr.. Johnson recently
went to Napa, Mr.. Bells home town,
and used this language concerning
him:
There, ye men of Napa, stands
Pat Calhoun; there stands Abe
Ruef; there stands George \.
Knight, the Southern Pacific at
torney; there stands William +.
Herrin; there stands his handy
man, Jere Burke, and there with
them stands my Democratic op-
ponent Here stands one man.

OLD AGE PENSIONS

Editor Herald: I wish you would
see if something cannot be done by
this great city for it's old men Qike
myself that cannot get work, though
capable, on account of the age limit
lately adopted by all the stores. be-
cause they think it up to date to nave
young faces about.
This subject of employment inter-
ests me very much. The Paul Berger
case came right home to me- l have
been there. and quite recently, and
am not satisfactorily settled yet.
A German told me a while ago that
all men over go in Germany are not
killed, as DR.. Osler suggested, but are
pensioned off by the government and
don't have to work any more. This
pension money is raised by tax of
% cents per week on every man,
woman and child from the time they
commence working. Now the fund
has grown so that the interest sup
ports all the old men in the empires!
Can we not have the same here?

And plan "ticl1-taek'' on his pane

But plotting always proved in vain,

And I recall the preachers sleigh,
A heavy, old, homemade affair,
Which every year we'd thing away

But though we'd labor to the cost

Ii would require more than Mother

had never developed his true character
toward women until he felt the owner

LAND VALUES THE OBSTACLE

Editor Herald: A writer in The Her
aid takes exception to that portion of
an article written by me wherein |
warned the wealthy and intelligent
people of this country from the coming
storm of Socialism, with its slavery.
While claiming that he is not a So
cialist, he seemingly advocates the
claim of Socialism in saying that $50
cialism seeks to put an end to indus
trial slavery to improve the condition
OF the worker" etc. He also quotes
from Allen l.. Benson, the noted So
cialist author, showing what rapid
strides New Zealand has made toward
Socialism, by the government furnish
ing cheap transportation for the benefit
of lot of land owners, which action
seems to meet with my critics unqual1-
fed approval; he thinking, perhaps,
that such cheapening OF transportation
could and would benefit the laborer,
the actual producer of wealth.
have read lately an Auckland news
paper which showed conclusively that
under the present socialistic regime the
condition of the laborer was gradually
growing worse, while that of the land
owner was constantly growing better,
and as proof it showed that wages
there were from 25 to so per cent less
than is paid for the same kind of
labor in the city of Los Angeles; and,
further, that land values and rents
were advancing from 25 TO 100 per
cent annually. If my critic were not
a Socialist, wasting his time dreaming
of castles in the air, or probably q
land owner wishing the worker to play
the part of a monkey in pulling his
creap transportation chestnuts out of
the fire, he would know better. AS
long as land values and rents go up
faster than wages, 1t makes no differ
ence to the laborer whether the price
a15i4 n no
because If invention to save labor, Of
which we approve, should become SO
perfect that labor was not needed, then
the laborer owning no land upon which
to employ himself ,and having nothing
but labor to sell, and that not wanted.
would either have to get off the earth
or under 1t; and it would be well If
every one in this country, from a pres
ident who says "God knows" minis
ters who can see the flash Of red
light mile off and can smell the
breath of a topper around q block. but
who practically do nothing to benefit
the laborer, down the line to the most
ignorant labor union leader. could see
and appreciate the truth of the above
statement. A minister of New Zea-
lands cabinet, lately, seeing that such
Socialistic measures could not Possibly
benefit the laborer, and that only by
taking lands unearned increment could
the worker obtain the full product of
his labor, resigned his office in prefer
ence to being a member of such an
incompetent ministry. AS to whether
Socialism would mean slavery or not, I
will give the opinion OF two leading So
cialists:
"The social ownership of the means
of production, distribution and ex-
change would destroy private property
and liberty. y."-Spargo.

THE HIGHEST BID

A n INTERESTING situation exists
IA in San Mateo county, where three
a. supervisors are accused in a con-
fession of Jesse Marks, the go-between,
of bribery in connection with the fur
nishing of the court house. 1t appears
that San Mateo has sort Of solid
three in the board, composed of Joseph
Debendetti, Carl Coburn and Julius
Eikerenkotter. These men railroadad,
or steam-rollered, a contract for fur
niture through the board, and are now
facing prosecution.
The dramatis personae include the Fl.
S. Crocker company, furniture dealers;
the aforesaid Jesse Marks, their agent
in fixing things up; the aforesaid
solid three, who were fixed up; Su-
pervisor McBain, an honest supervisor
who fought the Crocker company's bid
all the way through because it was far
in excess of the lowest bid, and was
regularly voted down; and District
Attorney Joseph G. Bullock, who draft
ed the furniture contract in favor Of
the Crocker company.
1t appears that the Crocker company
considered it worth about $4,000 to have
the high bid accepted, and decided to
pay the first installment when the
contract was awarded, and the remain
der when the money was paid on the
contract by the county. Mr.. Marks,
the agent, has unfolded some of the
interesting details, and the courts will
now take up the case where he left off.
Attorney General Webb has turned
one of his deputies loose on the parties,
and the people of California will take
considerable interest in following the
matter and learning more about the
ways in which furniture companies
persuade elected representatives Of the
people to vote away the taxes.

SOWING DRAGONS TEETH

/" HOUSANDS of employees of the
express companies at New YORK
Il and Jersey City are on strike,
enormous quantities Of perishable
goods are being lost to merchants and
other shippers, violence is becoming
widespread and dangerous and troops
are being held in readiness for call to
put down the disorder The men ask
for more pay and shorter hours, which
the companies refuse to grant, even at
vast cost to themselves that would
pay what is asked many times over.
1t would be easier to withhold sym
pathy in the fight if it We're a case
| of disagreement between parties in
which the merits were not already
known beforehand. AS it is, while the
disorder may be deprecated, and is so
regarded by all good citizens, it is i'm
possible not to see the justification for
a feeling Of the greatest bitterness on
the part Of the workers.
On one side are the thousands of
men who receive wages which under
present living conditions give them
little if any opportunity to lay any
| thing by for adverse days of sickness,
accident or old age. Constantly rising
prices of rent and foodstuffs are cut
ting down their purchasing power. AL
ready for many of them the proper
education of their children is out of
the question. They must be put to
| work as soon as possible.
On the other side is trust with
gorged treasures. Last year the Wells
Fargo company paid is per cent divi-
dend, and then distributed among its
stockholders TWELVE MILLION
DOLLARS of accumulated surplus.
The American Express company nets
its shareholders close to 100 per cent
year on invested capital, the North
ern earned $50 per cent in 1909, the
Adams has given to it's stockholders,
besides fat dividends, THIRTY-SIX
MILLIONS of surplus since 1898.
There is nothing like the greed for
gold to drive all the human sympathy
out of mems hearts. There is nothing
like the need of it to make other men
desperate and even violent.
The express trust is sowing dragons
teeth by its present attitude.

I was interested in Mr.. Bergers letter,
as my case has been practically the
same. We hear people saying every
day, Had we had an opportunity TO
get an education lifes battle would
not have been so severe" True, some
did not take advantage of possible
education, but am dealing with those
who did, and, besides, sacrificed many
things to secure an education and yet

such a predicament. You may call 1t
