SENATOR FLINT'S RETIREMENT

Senator Flint repeats in unequvoca terms his refusal to be
 candidate for reelection at the close of his present term He explains that the legitimate of campaign beyond his and that the time has for him to choose between political life and the practice of law
 W is not, says Senator Flint, 'tha desire to devote my self the accumulation of money but to face the expenditure of what little have accumulated campaign and to know that the end of years must face again like heavy pendure retire at that time years older the practice of law embraces conditions that leave for doubt and must justice myself and family retire accept from the hands others the money for campaign and not willing to accept financial help for this purpose"
 Flint has been strict Organization in the Senate and the tariff schedules he voted invariably with Al drch He stands doubt the TaBalnger side of the controversy that is dividing his party and he has sympathy with insurgents Because of his attitude he has been suspected of being of the cog the Guggenhem Bager machine and the perervd refoers him of wearing corporation col lar But if he is machine he has slipped out of place and his the political field may be evidence that the rail road collar did fit him. If Flint the sort of to take orders from corporation he would not have difficulty the financing of campaign for reelection California will be for the who takes Fnts place anywhere near his size in ability and energy.

into disrepute too often in recent years
by the tricky practitioner and judge.
Men like Judge Lawlor, who have held
to the high standards of old and have
stood like a rock for courts free from
sinister influences, have been the saw
ing grace in frequently bad situation
in this country.
Last month Mr.. Calhoun and his at
torneys created a theatrical scene in
Judge Lawlor's court in San Francisco
in which, one after the othor, they
made studied and vitriolic attacks on
his course during the past year or so.
Judge Lawlor's restraint under the
provocation they hoped would goad him
to an undignified attitude was so ad-
mirabe that he emerged from the Incl
dent with every good opinion of the
public confirmed.
1t is a pleasure to say these things
upon the occasion of his visit to a city
that appreciates citizens and public
officials of the kind he has proved
himself to be.

California and Palestine

fed parts of which are similar in soil,
climate and agricultural possibilities
to the San Joaquin, Imperial and Death
valleys. Finally, still farther east, are
the plateaus of the transjordan, with
their fertile soils of volcanic origin, de-
voted from time immemorial to pasture
and the cultivation of cereals. They
are regarded as the granary of the
country, and have been famed since
Bible times for the abundant herds of
Bashan. Extending eastward, these
plateaus pass into the steppes, and,
finally, toward the south, form the
deserts of Syria and Egypt.
In Palestine, just as in California,
we have a dry, warm season, and
humid and more temperate one. The
rainy season extends from October to
May, and the dry season from May to
October. The rainfall varies, accord
ing to the locality, from less than six
inches in the extreme south, near the
Egyptian frontier, where rains are in
sufficient and uncertain, to more than
forty inches in the north of the country.
Palestine is even more favored than
California with regard to the winter
temperature. Although the thermome-
ter rises as high in summer in Pales-
tine as In California, with extremes of
110 to lis degrees Fahrenheit, though
not so often, II very rarely drops in
the winter to the freezing point. Snow
is rare, even on the plateaus, and our
farmers are practically safe from any
damage by frost over nearly the entire
extent of the country..-Aaron Aaron

cRlrlcIsEs ROOSEVELT

Editor Herald: James Patterson in
his letter of September is right.
Roosevelt is a political hypocrite of the
first water In public he denounces or
ganized wealth; but all his cabinet
appointments, all his friends, are taken
from the henchmen of the trusts and
the wealthy lawbreakers. For instance,
what help did he give LaFollette. Cum
minis, ct al, in the senate, and the few
insurgents in the house, in their fight
against organized wealth, while in the
presidency, when his voice would have
been a mighty aid to them? How about
the "Dear Hartman" letters" His
open appreciation of the notorious per-
jurer, Paul Morton? How about that
secret visit to the pope, that no one
knows about? He was smart enough
and cowardly enough on his return
from Africa to keep still until he found
the insurgents were sweeping the coun-
try; then he jumped into the limelight
with progressive IDEAS" The Repub-
Iican policies of today are the Populist
and Bryanistic theories Of six to twenty
years ago. Then they were howled
down as visionary; now, as long as
"Rosy" advocates them, they are bright
and beautiful. b. r. JOHNSON.

Palestine is more like the state of
California than any other in the Union
in everything except size. 1t lies be-
tween longitude "a degrees 80 minutes
east, and between latitude 80 degrees
80 minutes and 33 degrees 45 minutes
north. 1t is practically California,
reduced to about one-twentieth its size,
but markedly similar in general topo-
graphy, climate, vegetation and agri-
cultural and economic possibilities.
Like California, Palestine is longest
from north to south. Like California,
too, it has both very high mountains,
having an elevation of 900 to 10000 feet,
and very deep depressions. The Dead
sea 1900 feet below sea level, is the
greatest depression known, and, like
the Death valley of California, is stu
eted in the southern extremity Of the
country.
Such formations always give rise to
a great diversity of soil and vegetation.
Where a very ancient civilization
exists, as in Palestine such formations
likewise favor the development of
many varieties of cultivated plants
and give rise to different methods of
cultivation.
Passing from east to west. we have
in Palestine the coast zone, extending
along the Mediterranean, similar to the
littoral region of the Pacific, and the
zone Of hills and plateaus of the noun
tains Of Judea and Galilee, forming, so
to speak, the backbone of the country,
and being similar to the foothill region
Of California. Farther east we have
the valley of the Jordan, the diversi-

cRIrIclsEs SUPREME COURT

Editor Herald: I notice in some OF
the reactionary newspapers denuncia-
ton of Mr.. Roosevelt for his Denver
speech in which he criticised the fed
eral supreme court for its fine hair
splitting in decisions at the expense
of equity and human rights. I for one
applaud him for 1t, 1t was time some
body with a voice loud enough for the
whole nation to hear did 1t.
The United States supreme court has
at all times interfered with the popular
will and has at all times in the history
of this country been the refuge, the
fountain of hope of the crooked, the
mighty and the wealthy
1t is so when Mr.. Roosevelt says
that the judges cover up their rulings
with "highly technical subtleties," and
it is so when he says that most of
them are honest but fossilized," and
he should have added indifferent and
Irresponsible They are not respon-
sible to the people, for they are ap-
pointed and not elected. They are not
responsible to the president. for he
cannot remove them, and therefore
they act as If they lived on another
planet. This the founders of this gov
ernment did not intend, and if they did
if they meant to place the judges as
an obstacle to progressive legislation
then | believe we are old enough to
remove the obstacle.

JUDGE LAWLOR

I n HIS address on Needed Reform

will deliver before the City club in
this city today Judge William p. Law
lor of San Francisco Is likely to point
out some bad spots in California juris-
prudence in an interesting way, and
make some suggestions worth consid-
Grafton as coming from the fullness of
lively experience in his home city
with criminal law as it sometimes be-
comes involved with powerful political
pull
Judge Lawlor is one Of the heroic
figures Of the ugly graft prosecutions
of san Francisco. His uprightncss and
fearlessness made it possible to gain
for the forces of deceucy what Heney
and Johnson accomplished before a su-
pine public spirit Withdrew it's support,
and his refusal to give the sanction of
his court to legal trickery in behalf Of
the discredited Patrick Calhoun has
prevented the collapse Of the case

corrupting city officers.

OPPOSES SHIP SUBSIDY

Editor Herald: In local paper this
morning we see restated President
Taft's statement that the subsidizing
treasury and the expenditure OF U. S.
money in the reclamation service are
the same. That anyone upon whom
the great American people have con-
ferred the honor of their presidency
should thus offer insult to their intelli-
gence is astounding. Everyone at all
conversant with the provisions of the
laws providing for the reclamation SER
vice knows that there is provision for
regaining the money expended out OF
the money received from sales of the
reclaimed lands, while they know
equally well that money handed over
to a corporation in a subsidy is ire
deemably gone, as far as the U. 5.
treasury is concerned.
The article referred to quotes: "Of
course we are familiar with the argu-
ment that this would be contributing to
private companies out of the treasury
of the United States, but we are thus
contributing in various ways on similar
principles in effect by our protective
tariff law, our river and harbor bills
and by our reclamation service"
Will you kindly sort out the truth
that the tariff law and subsidizing do
put money into the pockets of private
companies (and that President Taft
admits they do) from the misstatement
that reclamation of desert lands and
Improvement of rivers and harbors has
an identical effect with the above rob-
ber schemes?
1t is high time such trifiing and et-
frontery were fittlngly rebuked
