MONARCHY

~ TNCT the German nation confesses
peace or war depends on one
~ mans word 1t is well that the
kaiser is showing a determination to
preserve the peace of the world, and
has even become popular among the
British, who for a while distrusted him
intensely. But Is it not odd that in the
twentieth century, the century of de-
mocracy, the peace Of the world should
be threatened by any individual?
London has been swarming with
monarchs at a royal funeral. Until all
the reigners were assembled, it was
difficult to realize that most of the en-
lightened continent of Europe was still
king ridden. And why should the de-
mocracy of Britain, where the present
is radical. tolerate a royal
and bind another king on
its back at a time when the traditional
standing of the house of lords Is called
in question?
The British position seems paradoxi-
cal. Is it not probable that behind the
attitude of democracy there is the eX-
pectation that the kings signature
NAV be needed in effecting a constitu-
tional revolution? That his hereditary
privilege may be used for the creation
Of Radical peers to vote the gilded
chamber out of existence?

TARIFF HUMBUG

4 TTACK on the tariff is character
n ized by plain speaking. Repre-
"A sentative Champ Clark denounced
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill as
transparent humbug. Representative
Eugene n. Foss, former Republican
and leading manufactures, said the
recent revision was IA deliberate
bunco game from start to finish" And
the language of denunciation is justi-
fed by the facts in the case.
The ultimate consumer will have to
pay the tariff The tariff becomes a
tax imposed on the people of the United
States.
Edmund Norton, specialist. has
conducted an investigation of high
prices, and gives the following illum-
mating example of a prices progress;

will accept as simply a fact. Say we
pay a 10-cent freight on the ocean,
10 per cent tariff at the custom house
Here we have price added to price till
It is now 100 plus 10 plus so, or 1bO

for an advance of only 10 cents, price

chaser 1S0 cents, who sells it to the

of 10 per cent, IS cents, and we have
a price of 1873 cents. This total is

PADRES AND PIONEERS

~ deep obligation of this state to
the pioneer padres of the missions
What the Pilgrim Fathers were to the
Atlantic coast those Franciscan monks
We're to the Pacific.
And, in the eloquent language Of
Bishop Conaty, "the unselfsh bene-
faction of mankind is greater than the
noblest work of art from the hand of
the greatest genius. Commerclalism
may not regard benevolence as an
asset, but it is well for us never to
forget that there is no greater bless
ing in a community than that which
comes from the life Of one who lives
and labors to make men better. There
is no higher example of unselhshness
than that which is found in one labor
ing to uplift a down-trodden and neg
lected race. This is real heroism. This
is Christ-like."

west; Pilgrims and Padres; in their
religious creeds further apart than the
breadth of a continent-but in their
deeds men and brethren" Americans

WHY WOMEN ARE UNTITLED
FOR THE WORK MEN PERFORM

LOS ANGELES, May 21.-GEditor
Herald; The answers to my questions
Chiefly avoid the general principles
upon which they were based and con-
fine themselves to citing personalities
and therefore exceptions TO the rule.
BY the space limitations of the
Letter Box we must necessarily confine
ourselves to first principles and cam
not enlarge on particulars. One an
swer was that God created them, male
and female, and therefore entitled to
the same rights. l say that from
birth and inclination they are different
and therefore not fitted for the same
occupations. Innate faculties in boys
incline them to break things. and also
to make them. while girls will orna-
ment and preserve them. Initiation
and creation are masculine qualities.
In literature and art, which are large
ly creative and imaginative, where a
few women excel they work at the
expense of the best feminine qualities;
they develop masculine traits of char
acter and even put on hard masculine
faces. for the face is the mirror of the
mind; they lose the power of fascinat-
ing man and cannot keep one when
obtained.
Is not marriage the chief purpose for
which they We're created male and
female? And is it not very evident
that women with a career make a
failure of marriage and motherhood?
That women act from the heart af-
factions rather than the head is very
noticeable from their spelling so many
children with indulgences and not pun
ishing them when necessary. In most
cases when Johnnie has done some out
rageous act that the mother cannot
nut up with she waits till the hus-
hand comes home and makes him the
executioner. Even so, in the last re-
sort. the men will have to do the work
and set Alright the mischief that wo-
men when left to themselves Will get
into. -.
This country was built up by the
energy. ingenuity and enterprise or
American manhood-of course. with the
assistance, support and inspiration OF
womanhood, which is in order ana
ought TO be. When men shall nave
so far degenerated as to become unit
for governing. that duty will naturally
fall on women. g
Nv answer to NJ. V. L. is that II
ever a. woman shall duplicate the quar-
tiles of a Roosevelt, which are most
needful in civic government l VIII
agree with her. - r

UNDESIRED IMMIGRANTS

A T THE Episcopal convention of the
w diocese of Los Angeles, Bishop
"A johnson said: with the compile
tion of the Panama canal there will
come to us in swarms vast numbers of
emigrants from foreign countries.
These hordes must be brought instantly
into touch with Christian influence
which will shape and form their lives
after the best American ideals, or the
consequences will be appalling. This,
however, is purely a personal, civic or
social estimate of the situation. We,
you and 1, must regard it from still
higher position than that. God will
bring these people here to this coast
with a purpose. Such as they are, they
will come to us, and it will lie within
our power as Christian men so to pre-
pare the way that when they arrive
God may the more easily lead them
and guide them"
This statement by the good bishop
gives warning the tendency of some
steamship companies will be to yield to
the temptation of bringing Europeans
directly to our sunny shores from the
Mediterranean and the "back kitchen
of Europe.
With many slum-bound Americans
eager for an opportunity to seek new
conditions, and with many rural Ameri-
cans rushing across the border to Can
ada to escape hard times, 1t should be
comparatively easy to attract to Cali
fornia by way of the canal highly
superior class of Americans. We are
receiving plenty of warning of what
may happen to our Pacific coast popu-
lation unless timely steps are taken to
defend it from an undesirable swarm
AS we have learned from experience to
be o.. guard against an undesirable
Oriental rush, let us be forewarned
and forearmed against an equally un-
desirable rush from Southern Europe
and Northern Africa.

GOOD ROADS

4 CCORDING to an announcement,
n investigation of good roads Will
"a be begun Thursday. Taxpayers
are anxious the investigation should be
complete. Honesty is never afraid Of
a probe and the public is entitled to
know all the facts with regard to good
roads construction.
The public has a right to expect the
very best in workmanship, the utmost
honesty in execution. With confidence
in the committee of investigation, the
people expect these gentlemen will give
them businesslike answers to the ques-
tions: Are the taxpayers getting the
worth of every dollar voted for good
roads? Is the work being performed in
a manner that will assure the COM
munity the good roads to which 1t Is
entitled?
The highway investigation is of great
moment and the people expect it to be

PROTECT THE BIRDS

4 NNUAL meeting of the Audubon
u society Of California will be held
"A at the chamber of commerce Sat
urday. The protection of bird life is
of great Importance to the state from
the practical as we'll as the sentl-
mental point of view. When cat
Kills a bird, or a small boy robs a
nest, insect life injurious to plants and
fruits is encouraged.
Birds are essential to the economy Of
nature and the Audubon society has
to some extent ahated the prejudice
of the rancher and fruit grower against
all the feathered tribe.
There could be no greater misfortune
for fruit growers and farmers than the
destruction of bird life; and there is
still opportunity for much enlightening
missionary work on the subject of the
protection of the birds that really pro-
tect and do not injure fruit growers
and farmers.
