GAMBLING

n EED for legislation restricting
Y stock gambling is one of the cry
ing necessities of the day Why
should legitimate business enterprises,
banks, railroads and Industrial corpora
tions generally be subjected to legisla-
tive control, while the institution which
more than all others exercises dis
turbing influence on industry is allowed
to remain exempt from state legislation
and be a law unto itself?
As long as stock gambling is toler-
ated or encouraged in the United states,
the cruder forms of gambling which
are being suppressed have some rea-
son for protesting against the discrimi-
nation which is exercised against them.
Gambling is gambling. There are no
degrees of demerit in gambling trans

even though the amount involved in
one transaction may not be as great as
the amount involved in another
To say gambling on the results of

tency amounting to absurdity. The

ROOSEVELT'S TOUR

II ELIGIOUS differences-or to be
X more exact, creedal differences
HI have caused more trouble and
heart burning in civilization than all
ether influences put together. By the
no creed and to discriminate against
none, America has been kept free from
bitter controversies and creedal feuds
such as have caused hatred and blood
shed, even in modern times, in many
other countries.
As the representative Of freedom of
speech and the press, Of civil and
religious liberty, President Roosevelt
in his tour is performing a most valu-
able service to his fellow countrymen.
He is applying a test to existing con-
ditions and discovering for US the exact
status of the other nations of the
world with regard 10 liberty.
At the close of his tour he viii tell
US there are only two of the Older
countries that are approximately free
one is the United Kingdom, the other
the United States. The first is still
embarrassed by a great deal of heredi-
tary humbug and meaningless quasi
feudal flummery, but beneath all of it
is the inspiring spirit Of democracy.
The second as we well know. is en-
barras ssed by an odious discrimination
that has arisen from the application of
old feudal conditions TO modern social
circumstances. but from this absurd
anomaly the good sense Of the people
of the United States will assuredly free
the nation.
The sum of the whole matter, there
fore, is the English-spealIing peoples
are the hope of the world, and the
democracy of the older countries, the
United States, the United Kingdom and
Canada; and the newer countries, New
Zealand, Australia and South Africa,
is truly triumphant" because it is
FREE.

SOCIAL SENSE

CONTEMPORARY in somewhat
\ ieemsical article says the Ameri-
"A can minister's mansion in Lisbon
will draw around It "the best which
exists there in the highest social
sense"
What is the "highest social scnse'
Is it proper for anyone to talk of
the existence of a social sense' in
free America?
We know there are many people
who believe there is an upper crust
to the American pie. There are some
who think there are social strata.
The candid truth is, there are no
social strata in the United States
There are, however, financial strata,
or strata df we must perforce talk of
our well beloved country as if it were
a layer cake) which represent "influ-
cnce' and pull"
The increasing spirit Of Americanism
viii teach our people, no matter to
which stratum they may imagine they
are extraordinarily assignable, that
neither plutocracy nor aristocracy has
any part in the American republic:
that the influences Of plutocracy and
arstocracy are antagonistic to the in
terests of democracy, and are menace
to a republic founded upon democratic
institutions.
We rejoice the American republic is
to have such an estmable and in every
way worthy representative in Portugal
as our very highly esteemed and dis
tuguishcd fellow citizen. At the same
time, we hope our government Will
take measures which will make it pos
sjble for poor men, as well as for
wealthy, to serve the United States at
the great diplomatic posts.
Indeed, rather than lose the good
old American idea of a foreign repre-
sentation manned by citizens whose
heads are filled with American brains
and whose hearts are warm with
American enthusiasm, even though
their pockets be empty, we would ad-
yocatc that our government double the
foreign service, and appoint ambas-
sadors or ministers to the various
PEOPLES and SOCIAL ENJOYS to
the various COURTS.

Believes President Taft Ratified
and Making Ill Advised Speeches
tPaclhc Outlook


and criticism. grows stronger, and
when a newspaper ultimately learns
that after all If we can only survive
two or three days of attack and as
sault and Unfounded statements most
people will forget it,"
Now, under ordinary conditions that
tangle would have been combed out by
the reporter and put into some kind of
decent English and good sense. We
miss our guess If that was not cold
bloodedly left in all its rawness as an
answer to the presidents ill-timed and
unjust criticisms.
1t appears that the famous Taft smile
at times becomes a sneer. Listen to
this: II don't know whether you num-
ber among your members only news
paper men, but men who combine the
profession of the press with statesman
ship; whether you have among you
men who are reformers down to the
ground and at the same time are en-
gagged in handing out their views and
news suited to their views as states
men correspondents"
This Is evidently a fling at the Wash
ington correspondents of the leading
newspapers of the country. The rou-
tine news of the capital is sent out
by the Associated Press and other
agencies. The correspondents are Sc
lected for their capacity as writer's and
their ability to draw conclusions as
well as narrate facts. The president
calls these men statesmen correspond
ents" and "reformers."
In conclusion Mr.. Taft says that he
is glad to be able to assure his audit
ors "that I have learned a good deal
more In the first year (of the term)
than I am likely to assimilate in the
next three" We do not quite under
stand Mr.. Taft's distinction between
learning things and assimilating them.
Anything that is really learned is as
simulated. Perhaps he means that he
Is not going to be able to apply these
lessons that he thinks he has learned.
If that be true, then so much the worse
for him and for the nation.
However. we do not believe the presi-
dent is entirely responsible for what he
is saying, or that he weighs very care
fully the effect of his words. He is hurt
and sore and unhappy, and, as we say,
a good bit ratified He blames the
newspapers. when his real trouble is
with the whole American people whose
sentiment the papers reflect. No doubt
there are plenty of fatterers and false
friends and people who desire to work
him that are ready at hand with as
surances that the papers do not rep
resent actual public opinion, and pos
sibly he may believe that. If so, there
is one thing more for him to ''assim-
ilate" before his term is over-for in
the end he must fac the truth
There were periods in our history
when the diplomat with the genial
smile could do fairly well in the White
House, but what the people want today
is a man who believes things, who has
co rage to act ad speak and who will
onenly and without apology take the
people's side against the special inter-
ests that are in control of the govern
ment.

POLICE BRUTALITY

U HE people of Los Angeles hope
there will be a grand jury inves-
ugation of the case of Charles
Williams. who was injured seriously
several months ago while a prisoner
in the city jail Nothing less than a
full. complete, exhaustive inquiry will
be satisfactory 1t is believed the
present chief of police will not sane
tlon any beating or abuse of prisoners,
and that his help in finding out every
ascertainable fact in regard to the
brutal assault upon Williams may be
relied upon confidently.
The alleged assault, from the effects
Of which Williams is suffering and in
deed is said to be slowly dying. was
committed last December.
Police brutality to prisoners is pc
culiarly un-American, because it is
exceptionally cowardly. In spite OF
remonstrance and warning, not week
the injury or death of a prisoner
somewhere in the United States. The
police of this country apparently can
not rid themselves of a delusion they
are invested with judiciary powers and
can discipline as we'll as arrest sus-
poets and accused persons. There is
only one way in which this delusion
may be cured, and that is by furnishing
police thugs as any other thugs would
be punished. Have them indicted,
send them to prison and dismiss them
in disgrace from the force.
1t is a notorious fact policemen have
frequently taken the law into their
own hands In dealing with prisoners.
In some instances men have been es-
pecially detailed to the pleasant"
task of beating UP prisoners after said
prisoners were placed in Jail. This fact
has been apparent in cases in which
prisoners have been refractory while
under arrest. When a prisoner Injuries
a policeman who is capturing him the
entire force seems to make common
and clannish cause in wreaking venge-
ance on the insubordinate or resentful
prisoner. 1t might be possible an inno-
cent man who was being deprived of
his freedom and submitted to the fndig-
nifty of public arrest might fight for his
liberty, and between the time of his
arrest and his trial he might be beaten
to death. We do not say an instance
Of this kind has taken place. We do
say that, under present conditions
when the man with the club has license
to batter his unarmed and defenseless
fellow citizen under arrest, 1t might
be possible.
We hope the grand jury will probe
the williams case thoroughly and
trial, conviction and punishment OF
those responsible for the crime of ag-
gravated assault, or assault with in
tent to cripple or kill, will clear the
skirts of Los Angeles from any com
plicity in what appears to be pc
cularly dastardly, infamous and cow
ardly instance Of police brutality

TEACHERS

z OS ANGELES City Teachers club
1 election was held yesterday.
IA There is an increasing spirit Of
class consciousness among teachers
1t is high time, Modern civilization
has heaped great rewards on its spoil
ers, but has been strangely reluctant
to admit the extent OF its Indebtedness
to its trainers. We hear, "Oh So and
So gets a huge salary, it is true, but
think of his responsibility. His insti-
tuition takes care of millions Is not
the responsibility of the man-traiuer
at least equally great? Why this
strange mental confusion, which
causes many good PEOPLE to refuse to
acknowledge the wage value of their
fellow human beings, unless that wage
value can be based upon demonstra-
ton worked out in dollars and cents?
Writers, teachers, preachers-all, as
a rule are underpaid. If haplY amy
one of them get living wage" he
is pointed out as Il notable exception.
There is one way in which a correct
view of the matter may be obtained,
Think of what a country would be
without writers, teachers and preach
ers. Would civilization be possible
without them?
No.
Since they are indispensable, why
does not civilization brace up and give
them a recompense that viii be some
what proportiOnate to their relation
and services to civilization, and to
their exceptionally great investment?
