Americas Opp ortunity in Turkey.

LIT. george WaShburn, president OF
Robert college, 1S70-1903, writes:
1t Is great opportunity, a wonder
full opportunity, and it is a call espe-
cially to Americans. They believe in
us now in Turkey. They trust u.s.
There is nobody they believe in and
trust as they do Americans in Turkey
They know that We have no selfish
ends in view there. We do not want
any of their territory; we are not
going to try to overthrow the Turkish
government and they understand fully
that what we are doing there we are
doing for their good. They may think
we make mistakes, but they know we
are honest, and they know we are do
ing it for their good. They trust us as
they trust nobody else, and conse-
quently it is a great opportunity,
wonderful opportunity, for us to go on
and to try to make these people under
stand who Christ is and what Christ is
to the world"

ONE MORE HARBOR
VICTORY

OS ANGELES was advanced an
other step toward commercial su-
- premacy when the interstate
commerce commission on yesterday
announced a decision granting ter
minal rates on railroads to our
harbor at San Pedro. The Herald
congratulates the citizens and prop
erty owners of that portion of
our city surrounding it's harbor upon
at last having secured Just and fair
treatment on the part of the railroads
There has never been at any time, any
reason or justice in denying terminal
rates to San Pedro harbor. In fact.
the denial of these rates by the rail
roads for so many years has been the
worst sort of an injustice. for during
all the time that terminal rates have
been denied the community immediate
ly surrounding San Pedro harbor, it
has been granted to the city of Los
Angeles because of its proximity to
that harbor and upon the theory that
it enjoyed facilities for water com
merce through the harbor at San
Just exaction of the Southern Pacific
has been done away with. The next
victory will be to have fair rates es-
tabhshed between the business center
of the city of Los Angeles and its har-
Dor. This wrong would have been
corrected long ago had the state, in
stead of the Southern Pacific, possessed
the railroad commission which the con-
stitution provides for. One of the great
est outrages now transpiring in the
state is the conduct of the railroad
commission in deferring action upon
the application made to it some time
ago to correct these rates. It is very
evident that the commission proposes
to continue the rate condition now ex-
listing until after the election. Should
its members, by the grace of the
Southern. Pacific, be returned to Of
flee, then it may be continued indef-
initely. Should they be defeated, they
can at least serve their master for
the balance of their official existence
But some day this injustice will be
done away with, and some other day
not very far distant, the city will own
and operate its own double track rail
road from its business center to every
portion of its harbor front, and this
railroad operated by cheap electric
power from the aqueduct. will give to
the business interests of Los Angeles
the lowest railroad rate known.

HERE TO STAY

! TN HERE is very good reason why
certain California newspapers find
Il fault with the direct primary. It
| is the same reason the Republican ma
chine in New York has for fighting the
bill advocated in New York state by
| Governor Hughes and former President
| Roosevelt. 1t prevents the manipula-
| ton of politics by means of fixed party
! conventions. 1t breaks the hold of ma
chimes. 1t teaches the voter his power
! and responsibility and spurs him to
activity in looking after affairs.
! But there is no reason for such a
! statement from the Oklahoma Times
| as this: mo man of moderate means
can afford to offer himself as a candi-
date while a man without means is
absolutely shut out unless he has the
backing of heavy financial interests.
in which case he would belong body
and soul to the corporations that put
up the money"
The Times reaches this conclusion
from the fact that Joe Sibley, the
Standard Oil agent, spent over $4,000
for his nomination to congress in
Pennsylvania under the direct primary
system. Sibley's use of money was
so profligate that it is now under in
vestigation. It amounted to about 81
a vote, and it is absurd to think any
man can honestly spend such a sum
under any system.
In California the direct primary,
passed by a hostile legislature that
was forced by public opinion to enact
some law, was purposely made cum
bersome and unwieldy in the hope that
it would disgust the voters, but it has
already proved its great value and will
be simplified by its friends in the next
| legislature and retained.
The direct primary law has come to
stay, both here and elsewhere, because
it has dragged politics from dark
places into the light OF day. It's faults
will be corrected as they reveal them
selves in experience. If it becomes
necessary to limit expenditures Of can
didates by law it viii be done, but a
poor man of real merit can find means,
if he stands for a principle, to run for
office Hiram johnson, the candidate
who is putting up the most vigorous
campaign Of the several in the field for
governor in California, is comparative
ly "a poor man, but his cause does not
lack forsthe necessary support.
The direct primary contains the es-
sence of real democracy. 1t will be
brought as near 10 perfection as any
thing humanity can be, by the COM
mon sense of the American people.

That the American child is not sufh-
ciently spanked is the opinion of
Massachusetts, university president.
Whether or not the savant who dis
courses so sagely has spanl<able chill
dren of his own the dispatch contain
ing his observations does not say.
From the tenor of his remarks II Is
probable that there is no one Of spank
able age about his house. Those who
have nothing OF their own to spank
are most generous in recommending
spanking as a panacea for all the
troubles and ills of childhood.
The learned gentleman is broad
minded enough to declare that he does
not recommend spanking to excess.
That is very kindly and considerate OF
him. But there is the great trouble,
the problem of all the centuries OF
parents. Nobody seems to know Just
how much spanking is sufficient. There
are children who require great deal
of spanking, and again there are 9th
ers who require scarcely any spanking
at all If the learned authority upon
spanking had only discovered some
method gauging the amount of spank
ing necessary for each child, he would
have contributed something worth
while to the worlds knowledge. As IL
is. he has given nothing original From

age was thus secured, while the num-
Der of people who have openly de-
clared that they are Indifferent to the
Illuminated appeals or find them Of
fensive is considerable, and it seems
to be growing rapidly.
The exact remedy for this abuse will
not be easy to find OF course a law
or ordinance to the effect that cleo
tricity cannot be used for advertising
purposes would be without justifica-
tion and absurd. For limiting the size
of the signs there would be no OBJ
vious excuse except regard for public
safety, and though it has been said
on authority that some of them are
not as strongly put up as they should
be, the fact would probably be hard
to prove in many instances. In the
development and manifestations of
public sentiment lies presumably the
best cure for the evil, Many adver-
tisers of the sort that "desecrate
scenery" have shown themselves un-
fortunately quite willing to offend the
aesthetic sensibilities of the few, but
none would care to arouse a general
hostility. And, of course, if it can
be demonstrated that the big signs are
useless or not worth what they cost,
their vogue will promptly cease.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-20

With a large number of city organ
izations, all more or less influential,
uniting in antagonism to the use of
big electric signs for advertising pur-
poses, the owners of these devices, so
costly to build and so expensive to
maintain, will, or at least should, be
filled with doubt as to their future
value. There is cause for both hope
and consolation, too. in the suggestion
that Just as fast as the signs have in
creased in number has their effective
ness in attracting attention decreased.
1t is obvious that only when the
signs can fash or sign out of dark
ness complete or comparative, that
they fix the eye. Already on several
streets there are so many of them that
they produce little more than gem
eral glare, in which no details are
visible, and, while, theoretically, there
will always be the possibility of at
tanning conspicuousness by means of
larger size greater brilliancy and
more ingenious design, the practical
limits in these directions have about
been reached. Advertisers should pom
der we'll, moreover the fact that they
do not really know how efficient these
signs are in making and bringing

evaporation, took off his sandal and
applied II with vigor TO the person of
his offspring, II has been admitted that
some spanking Is almost Indispensable
to the guidance of the young. But how
much has been and still Is a problem.
Thinking 1t over, the professor who
made this announcement Is certainly
without children of the spanking age.
He can be pictured in the quiet Of his
study listening to the screaming of a
bad-tempered youngster next door. The
noise gets on his nerves and he looks
into his library for a remedy for tenn
per in children. He discovers some-
where that the ancient Egyptians or
some of the lost tribes were wont to
apply sandal to children who showed
signs of temper. A triumphant light
comes into the eyes of the learned pro-
fessor. He has made a great discov-
cry. II have it," he cries. "rhe way
to make a child behave is to spank It"
Then he feverishly seizes pen and pa
per and dashes off a thesis on the effi-
cacy of spanking in the correction of
the morals of the young. But this Is
a discovery that the average everyday
father makes without the trouble of
going to college. The professors dis
covery is perfectly good one as far
as discoveries go, but 1t was made
many years ago by the first parents.

AT THE ROOT

~ CONGRESSMAN c. B. RANDALL
a of Texas has sent to The Herald
~ a copy of the bill introduced by
him in the house at Washington dur
ing the closing days of the late ses-
hibition under severe penalties of any
member of congress acting as an at
torney for public service corporations
while holding such membership, and
for any corporation to employ mem
ber as attorney or agent.
The bill, which was not passed and
will not be passed until public senti-
ment is aroused to get behind it, i'm
poses penalties up to $4,000 for viola
tion of it's provisions.
The Herald believes that Representa-
tive Randall has touched on vital
phase of the problem of separating
congress from the influence of the
agencies that are constantly working
TO further their selfish interests
through legislative action. Until there
is some such law the fight of the peo-
pie against predatory capital in poll
tics will have to be waged over and
over again, for every new congress is
a separate proposition to the in
terests.
1t is no longer a secret that corpora
tions seek to bribe lawyer legislators,
both in congress and state assemblies,
by retaining them as attorneys as
soon as they take their seats. An easy
conscience does not regard this
euphemism as bribe, but the man
who accepts such retainer has sold
himself as truly as if he had taken
roll OF money in the dark. 1t cannot
help but influence his every act in con-
nection with the particular corporation
that retains" him.
The case OF Senator Foraker, who
was exposed dripping with Standard
Oil. was only a conspicuous one of
many then and now. 1t points to a
great and growing evil, and Congress
man Randall has gone right to the root
of it in his bill.

HOUSTON AND LOS
ANGELES

TN a recent issue of the Houston
Chronicle appears a reprint OF
Il the story published in the July
number of the Review of Reviews OF
the great aqueduct of Los Angeles
with most enthusiastic word Of ad-
miration for the city that has under
taken the project. The inspiring
story" as the Chronicle calls it,
should, it says, be read by every resi-
dent of that town,
The reason for their particular in
terest is that the Texas city has on
hand a project somewhat similar in
nature though not in scope. to our
harbor scheme. Houston is situated,
like Los Angeles, within tantalizns
distance from tidewater, and has re-
solved to make itself d seaport by
digging a ship channel from the gulf
to the city, so that large vessels may
reach the place. The federal govern
ment has ben enlisted in the plan,
and has promised to eXpend &,5OJ,OO0
toward it if the city viii raise like
amount.
1t is to arouse local lIlue an" 'oul
age for the thing that the leaders in
Houston are pointing to the wonderful
imagination and creative skill Of the
city of Angels in outdoing all the COM
munities in the world of its size in
the water, power and harbor projects.
So Houston and Los Angeles are
kindred spirits, and this city will feel
a knsmans interest in the scheme it
has under way. 1t is no small satis-
faction TO know that in addition TO
doing a great thing for ourselves we
have also been the inspiring example
for other cities to turn their am
bilious hopes into fruition through the
application of the Los Angeles kind Of
civic pride and courage.
