BELL AND SPELLACY

THE Democratic party finds itself
especially fortunate in having as
Il its unopposed candidates for nom
ination for governor and lieutenant
governor the two men whose names
head this editorial.
No one who knows Theodore Bell
will for a moment doubt his absolute
honesty and integrity. His courage has
been demonstrated by the splendid
fights that he has made for decent poll
tics in the past. His ability has been
shown by the way in which he dis
charged the duties of important Of
fetal trust. He is a man in whose
hands the affairs of the state will be
entirely safe, and the Southern Pacific
political machine understands that if
he is elected governor it will have to
go out of business during his term.
No better man for lieutenant gov
ernor could be selected than the Demo-
cratic candidate for that office. To all
who know him the name of Tim Spell
lacy stands for honesty and ability.
He has demonstrated his ability by
the success he has attained in life. he
has never failed to use his influence
and his means in the cause of good
government when called upon. Should
he be elected lieutenant governor the
great committees of the senate would
mourn the absence of the Southern
Pacific machine tools that have COM
posed them heretofore.
1t should be pleasure as well as
duty for every Democrat to go to the
polls today and vote for these two men.
1t is also a pleasure to know that the
Democratic party, both. in state and
county, has supplied candidates upon
it's tickets who, If voted for today
will make worthy companions in the
race for the men who head the ticket.

CLAIMS OPPONENTS DODGE
QUESTIONS OF SOCIALISM

Editor Herald: The puerility of the
objections advanced by the opponents
of Socialism is plainly shown by their
unwillingness to meet squareiy the
answers to their objections.
1t is easy to make a dozen baseleSs
assertions unaccompanied by proofs
and unsupported by argument, In a
two-hundred-w letter, while 1t is
impossible to adequately reply within
that limit. Drive them from one POSI-
ton and they calmly take up another.
Apparently the ascertainment of truth
is far from being their object in writ
ing.
Mr.. Jensen recently asserted that the
trend of modern progress was toward
individualism.
quote Review of Reviews (August):
"As communities or states become
thickly populated, and complex in the
Industrial and other forms of their as .
ISOLATED life, individualism must yield
in one point after another to the de-
mands Of the common welfare"
Robinson Crusoe was the only real
individualist and he could not launch
his canoe after he had made it.
Even in the patriarchal family there
was social effort--the beginning OF So
cialism-no one member could have en-
joyed even their primitive advantages
alone.
l am willing to meet Mr. Jensen-or
any opponent of Socialisnl-in your
columns, on fair terms of say two let
tiers each, confined to one topic at
time. otherwise it is unseless to con-
tinue. 1t is like stopping gopher IN

SONGS RECALL VALoRoUS
INCIDENTS IN REVOLUTION


Editor Herald: In The Herald Of
August 10 I observed that the New
York State society had met in Los
Angeles and some oid-fashioned songs
had been sung. This prompts the
query: How old-fashioned were theyY
NV grandfather was an officer in the
revolutionary war in New York and
belong to the Sons of the Revolution.
I have often heard my father sing two
songs of which / remember but frag-
ments, not seeing at the time the i'm
portance of their preservation. One of
them evidently dated from the colonial
period-the air very martial. The chorus
was: 1--WE are marching up to old
Quebec:
we are marching up to old Quebec.
We are marching up to old quebec,
with the vanguard Of our army.
This evidently refers to the time
when the farmers of New England
loaded their old smooth-bore cannon on
their oxen-drawn sledges and started
northward over the snow to storm the
mightiest fortress on the continent
Ouebec-which marks on history's page
the sublimest instance of audacity ever
recorded The other song was very
spirited and of later date, the words,
as remembered, these:
The British yoke. the Gallo chain.
Was urged upon our necks in vain.
All naughty tyrants we disdain.
And shout Long live America
Perhaps some Of your readers may
have the full text of these songs,

SAN JOSE NORMAL SCHOOL
HAS ARCHITECTURAL CHARM

Editor Herald: Visitors to San Jose
are generally agreed that the new nor
NAL school buildings are at once
UNIQUE, attractive and eminently in
keeping with their surroundings ana
adapted to the ends in view. The con-
tractors, by the way, are Los Ange-
les firm, that of Engstrum, SO that
we can have some local as we'll as CAL
ifornia pride in the structures
The style is a reversion to the me-
dieval Mooresque, found on the sunny
northern shores Of the Mediterranean
in Spain and italy. 1t is an adapta-
ton of the conventual, with the long
artificial stone corridors and wide
peaceful patio, which can be shut off
completely from the outside world. A
single tower, having fine proportions,
rises to the right of the main entrance
on the east The roofing Is of red TIL
ing throughout and the plain gray
of the concrete walls is relieved here
and there by variegated brick dia-
monds and other light concentrations.
None of the buildings is over two
stories in height, and the walls of the
elegant library hall are carried to the
roof. This hall is the pride of the
architect and the delight of the presi-
dent. It's proportions are really ex-
quisite.
Built of reinforced concrete, these
buildings are constructed TO Withstand
the severest earthquake and have
every element OF permanency. They
respond to the demand for q native
style of architecture that shall be In
harmony with our needs, so different
from conditions in the east or in north
ern Europe. The high shouldered build
ings with French mansard roofs, the
castillated structures having apparent
weight, but yet little stability; the
heavy italian pillared structures; these
must give way to a style that COM
hines lightness with strength and al
lows sunshine to penetrate into every
room. The conditions seem to be
more nearly fulfilled in the new San
Jose normal school than anywhere else.

DECLARES OFFICE SEEKING
Is lNToLERABLE NUISANCE

Editor Herald: Office seeking is get
ting to be an intolerable nuisance and
ought to be stopped. 1.-THE Office should
seek the man, not the man the office"
This was the rule in the early days
of the republic. No one was then per-
mitted to ask for office. No one would
dare to do so. 1t would have resulted
in his utter defeat. The question
asked was: Will you consent to be a
candidate? If the answer was yes, the
lips of the candidate were closed to
the advocacy of his own cause. All
officers were public servants, and none
asserted superiority or assumed mas
terry over his constituents as is COM
mon in these days. There was honor
in holding office in the olden times,
and office was not sought for the
emoluments. The pay was never large.
In fact, many of the offices were adj
ministered without pecuniary consid-
Grafton, the only remuneration being
the honor. Every citizen was deemed
indebted to the government, and he
was but paying his debt by his serv-
ices when called upon, as does the SOL
der when he marches in war.
In the light of the past this scramble
for office is reprehensible, II not dis
graceful. The advocacy of ones own
fitness for a place of trust has be-
come common with all, both high and
low. 1t is not remembered which one
of the presidential candidates inaugu-
rated this shameful practice OF blowing
his own horn, but 1t was long after
the founding of the republic. 1t is re-
membered that one OF them said, THE
office Of president should neither be
sought nor declined That rule
should apply to all offices. 1t is as
good for one as another.
