STILL FIGHTING

N RIM old Uncle Joe Cannon writes
eT a formal letter accepting the
W nomination for congress that was
voted to him, reiterating his devotion
to the plumber tariff, calling insurgency
merely loud noise," and concluding:
Agitation for another tariff revis-
ion or for another attempted reVo-
luton of the revenue policy is just
as dangerous to the welfare of the
people now as in 1894, when the
Wilson tariff law was enacted.
Uncle Joe, shorn of his locks and
strength, has become what Artemus
Ward called IAN amoosin' cuss." His
! d times bugaboo that once served so
we'll as a rallying cry now is only
sounding brass. But though a wiser
public will not listen, he is unmoved,
unchanged, undaunted the same yes
terday, today and forever.
There is something in his dogged
spirit that arouses the admiration even
of those who have fought him as the
most vicious political force of his time.
Most men love a fighter, and Uncle Joe
is that. Give the devil his due. And
you can't do that without admitting
that there is more real manhood in
Joes thumb-nail than in the combined
bodies of those congressman who, hav
ing profited by what he had to give
them in his heyday, now desert him in
the hope of saving their skins. One
could almost prefer his reelection as
speaker to their success at the polls.

Direct Elections: Suggestion
fBy DR.. NJ. S. Aisbitt)


Fifth-The day after the election the
city council, or the county supervisors
will proceed to open and count the bal
lots, and report the result. The candi.
dates receiving the largest number OF
votes to be declared elected.
Sixth--In case of death of any candi-
date or resignation, or recall, the can
didate receiving the next highest num-
ber of votes to be entitled to the vacant
office.
Seventh-The city and county clerks
after the vote has been counted, will
notify each candidate of his election.
You will thus see how much superior
direct elections are to direct nomina-
tions. In viewing the fact of the enor-
nous expense the latter entails on the
people, no booths to rent, no officers 10
be paid, all expense is eliminated except
the price of printing the ballots. NO
officers to be paid for naming the same.
Direct election takes the place of all
nominations and conventions, obliter-
ates party lines, and brings the people
into a unit and establishes harmony in
the body polite.
The citizen in viewing the candidates
for his suffrage will have the assistance
of his wife and family, which would be
a great desideratum.
There must be measures taken to qui-
ct the political unrest which is prevail
ing throughout the United States.
There is a cause. it must be discov-
cred and removed, and to restore the
principles of the republican form Of
government
Remember it cost the county of Los
Angeles over $4,000 to meet the ex-
penses of nominating the candidates.
It will cost $4,000 more to elect them.
notwithstanding the large amount OF
money the candidates expended in their
canvass.

DUNCAN RELENTS

A NrONG the first to fall victims to
"A the insurgent simeon, Duncan
IA McKinlay proposes to be one OF
the last to become reconciled. He IS
bitter in his thoughts Of migrate Cali
fornia, for which he secured SO much
pork. He is said to have uttered
in his anger the sentiment that the
California direct primary is a damned
fool law" which may be true from
Duncans particular angle, but Dun
can cannot deny that 1t works like a
charm.
Duncan is partly victim of circum-
stances. They forced him to leave u.s.
fresh from his splendid Reputation
and with the taste of the gall in his
mouth, to go to Kansas and battle LOT
others only to meet there an indirect
but none the less forceful rebuff
Then to Maine-and who does not "ot
of Maine, so why dwell on that?
Small wonder that soon thereafter
from Beverly, where Duncan repaired
to nurse his crouch on the TAFT YER
anda. a dispatch should come out
saving that the business outlook IN
california was distinctly unfavor-
able" owing to the absorption of cap
ital by San Francisco, and therefore
he purposed to practice law in some
eastern city.
There was cause for alarm in this.
Nobody in the Golden state expected
it to 60 as far as that. 1t was thought
that he would take it all in good part
But the danger was only momentary'
for Duncan himself found the balm
A San Francisco paper says he has
wired that he liked the climate of
San Francisco and wished to return
thither as surveyor of the port. So
maybe that had something to do with
the visit to Beverly and he only
wanted to scare California good and
hard and not to harm it deeply.

Editor Herald: The man or men that
promulgated the direct primary nomin-
ating scheme overlooked the fact that
1t entailed an extra tax on the people,
1t is too expensive to be continued; 1t
eliminates the politician on one hand
and opens the door for him on the
other.
The old conventions were inexpensive
compared with the direct nominations.
Direct nominations mean double pro-
cedure an election to nominate the can
didates and then a repetition to elect
them; This means a double expense.
The promoters proved their ineticiency
as statesmen.
l propose, in the following para
graphs, to show that direct elections
are superior to direct nominations:
First-Let the candidate, as in direct
nominations, get up his petition with
his indorsers, present 1t to the city or
county clerk, and IL they are found to
be legal voters the clerks are to place
him on the ballot. All other candi-
dates for the various offices to do the
same, after the candidates have COM
pleted their petition and the clerks as
certained the legality of the indorsers
they will proceed to print the ballots;
Second-A few days previous to the
election they (clerks) will send ballot
to each elector with instructions where
to deposit the same.
Third-The elector, after receiving the
ballot, will deliberate over it, study the
character and qualifications of the can
didates for the various offices to which
they are aspiring.
Fourth-After selecting the candi-
dates and preparing his ballot accord
fngly, and sealing it in an envelope,
properly addressed to the party or par
ties to receive it, he will deposit 1t in
the letter box or postoftice.

ber trust, thanks to Mr.. Aldrich and
Senator Guggenheim, his business part
ner, is possible in this country. Manu-
factured rubber goods have been ad-
vanced more than 20 per cent in the
past few months. If that advance
still holds (and it does), and if crude
rubber has dropped 371a per cent, there
is a difference of profit just now of
nearly go per cent over last year in
favor of the rubber trust.
Everyone who buys an article of rub
Der in our stores or garages is held up
for extortionate tribute to the mil
lionaires of the rubber trust, who are
backed up by the United States gov
ernment in the extortion. The tariff
is very simple and easy to understand
when a concrete case is put before
you like this, isn't it?

AS TO RUBBER

N RUDE rubber has fallen 3715 per
1 cent, but has anybody noticed
~ any corresponding drop in the
price of tires ?-Hartford Courant.
No. nor any other commodity manu-
featured or sold by the rubber trust,
whether it be rubber knobs for the end
of the cripple's crutch, or the rubber
tube for the bottle of the poor mans
sick baby, or the hot water bag of the
hospital invalid, or the tire Of the bust
ness mans motor car. The modern
trust is after dividends, the bigger the
better, and the price Of its commodity
bears no relation to the law of supply
and demand, or the cost Of raw prod
uct or manufacture.
The law of competition has been
superseded by the Payne-Aldrich tar
if law. No competition for the rub

TELLING THE TRUTH

n NCF in a while man is found in
high railroad authority who tells
~ something that is at once recog-
nized as the truth, and draws the same
deductions from it as other people.
Such is w. A. Gardner, vice president
Of the Northwestern railroad, who In
the rate hearing before the interstate
commerce commission testified that in
ten years his road had earned in net
profits the full $s5 900, 900 invested in the
road, and accumulated surplus of
10000, 900 more.
Notwithstanding this princely show
ing, he maintained that his road ought
to have the right to raise freight and
passenger rates to keep up credit"
What he seems to have meant is that
investors in any future bond issues
should have the assurance that the
Northwestern could take from the peo-
pie all it could exact in charges, with
out let or hindrance.
Vice President DAILY of the New York
Central also testified with some candor
before the same commission the other
day. lie auHllllSu tldI 'lS '9"iiiN'
pays the increased freight rate. No
contention like President Ripley's, that
the proposed increase wouldn't be felt
by the consumer.
These confessions give the hope that
some railroad official will yet find his
way to the stand who will admit that
the railroads are now making enormous
profits on the actual invested capital,
and that the increase they want is to
pay more profit on capitalization, which
includes fortunes piled up by stock
manipulation and the injection of wind
and water bearing no relation to the
real valuation of the roads.

SMASH THE TARIFF

Editor Herald: wish to commend
the stand e. R. Brown takes in today's
Letter Box on the tariff. More than
that, / call on all ultimate consumers
to vote only for such candidates as are
ready and willing to bring about the
abolition of the whole tariff, for is it
not the root of evil of high food prices?
The wear 1910 has seen the smashing of
some things and should record some
more in the next election Whatever
the tariff has done is not the question.
We know now that it works nothing
but evil, making the rich richer and
the poor poorer. Dash 1t! Smash It!

KIDS WILL FOOL YOU, ANYHOW


Editor Herald = Mr.. Stoner asks:
Should he leave his children's training
to their public school teachers, or
should he take pains to impress on
them his ideals of duty and citizenship?
Well, short of worrying them into an
tagonism, it is certainly his duty to
use his own innuence-everythin
environment counts. But don't let him
set his heart on any fixed measure of
results at any given time, or he Will
be fooled. Children are. the most as
tonishing of animals. l know a man,
moral man, who takes a serious Il don't
mean a gloomy view of life's dutfes-a
man of the true missionary spirit, and
a Socialist. He brought his children up
accordingly. But directly they got to
school-and more when they got TO
high school-they let his soeialistic, do
as-you- would be-done-by training slip
like water from a ducks back. They
were soon telling their father he was
"a mutt"-had he been up to beans he
would have gone ahead and made
money-hang Socialism and your duty
to others! They told him plainly they
believed, like those they met, that do
others, lest they do you," was the true
wisdom.
Bad children? oh. dear. no! Won
golden opinions everywhere. But the
father was in despair. 1t looked like
the wreck of all his efforts. To think
that his children, of all others, should
be growing UP supporters of the sys-
tenn! Life for a while was bitter
when by degrees first one then another
of his lads began to emerge from the
individualistic phase and to show that
the early teaching and influence were
not so completely wasted but after all
they'll probably line up with dad at
the polls, and elsewhere, yet. So never
give up! WILLOUGHBY SMART.

This is a country of equal oppor-

portunities that it offers is that Of
education. Education smooths the way
for future success by preparing the in
