CORONER
CR|T|C|zES
THE POLICE

Deputy Coroner Gordon of Hobart
scouts the theory that headache powd-
ers and blows over the head caused the
death of B. w. Sheeha who died in the
Gary city hall jail shortly after mid
night Saturday morning. Although
the police first gave his death as being
caused by delirium tremens it now
develops that the han had been terribly
beaten up and the presence of headache
powders in his pocket leads to the be-
lief that the beating and the heart
dilation that followed the taking Of the
powders in all probability ended
Sheeha's life.
Who SIugged Victime
The question now is who slugged
SheehSp
1t appears that at nine o'clock Friday
evening Sheeha appeared at. the steel
plant gate and asked for a doctor. He
complained that he was not feeling well
SO the steel company guards on duty
summoned the police patrol and turned
him over to the custody of the Carr
city officers.
To Hospital Not to Jail.
What they should have done with
the man was to have taken him to a
hospital" said Coroner Gordon when he
heard of Sheeha's death.
The police seeing the condition that
his man was in hould have rushed
him to the hospital at once and not
have locked him up"
Saturday DR.. Theodore B. Templin al
, the instance of DIR. Gordon performed
a post norton on the body. Cards found
in his pockets indicate that his home
is in Pennsylvania. Today the police
are probing into the mans death.

ANOTHER BAD COLLISION.

indiana Harbor, Nov. THE big
touring car owned by Ed and Charlie
Saluski had the misfortune to be mixed
up In a collision with a buggy at the
corner of Hemlock and Michigan ave
nue. yesterday afternoon.
Both vehicles were damaged, but
none of the were injured. The
Saluski car sustained the loss of both
lamps which were smashed in the colli-
sion, the fender and the radiator were
broken, and the two rear WHEELS of the
buggy were badly broken.
The buggy was the property of ]. w.
Maxwell and in i>were Robert Wise
and a companion. The auto was going
west in Michigan avenue and at Hem
lock street 1t encountered the buggy.
In the auto were Charles and Ed Salu-
ski. the latter driving, Yaura Saluski
and May and Laura Wirtner of LaPorte.
Both drivers started to turn the corner
at the same time. with the result that
they became confused, and while trying
to get out of each others way the COLI
sion occurred. The girls in the auto
were badly frightened, and the men adj
nit having been a bit startled them
selves, as the situation seemed perilous.
and when all had haken themelve and
realized that no bones were broken.
hey were thankful it was no worse.

FIGHT OF THE LORDS

Editor Herald There is an cleo
tion going on in England, but | don't
know what to make of it, viii you
kindly inform me (and perhaps some
other reader) through the Letter Box
the nature and methods of elections in
that country and what the different
political parties stand for? Who
make the house of lords and how do
they get there-elected, appointed or
otherwise? G. T. WILSON.
The house of lords is a hereditary
body, with the exception of the Angi-
can church bishops, who are lords eX-
officio. In the present elections, for
the second time within year, the
lords are fighting for their own exist
ence. Last January the British cleo
torate took the first step to strip the
lords Of their power The direct ques-
ton then was the country's indorse-
ment or rejection Of the Lloyd-GeOrge
budget, with its drastic taxation on
land proprietors Incidentally the
right of the upper house to veto land
bills was challenged. The country
sustained the Asquith government,
and the vote was a popular mandate
to the lords to pass the budget bill,
But the question that now lies before
the British people is of graver con-
stitutional Importance. The Asquith
government has taken the position
that the upper house must be deprived
of it's power to reject legislation sub
mittted by the elected representatives
of the people, and the question the
Liberals ask the country to decide
practically amounts to the abolition of
the house of lords as a legislative
body. All the parties are opposed to
the lords except the Unionists.
The Unionists plead against the
abolition and for the reformation of
the upper chamber. They admit that
the time has come for the abolition
of the hereditary principle, and the
proposals of Lord Lansdowne and Lord
Rosebery provided for this. Their plans
of reorganization suggested reduc-
tion of the present membership, and
elements OF the present house, rein
forced from the outside either by nom~
ination or some process OF election

LOS ANGELES FAULTS

Editor Herald: We have been quite
well informed now about the great in
crease of population of the city of Los
Angeles and the consequent building
activities And it is, of course, some
thing to be proud of. Los Angeles can
also be proud of having a newspaper
like The Herald But aside from these
two points, as q basis of self esteem, it
is about on par with other cities and
it really has no claim to distinction.
Los Angeles is fike all other cities of
modern times As an organic body it
min. Like others of its kind, it breeds
poverty and crime. With its adVanc-
ing wealth comes poverty's forlorn and
disheveled troop, the latter being a
natural sequence of the former, and
the gaunt specter of want finds a per-
manent abiding place in its midst.
Like other cities it raises its crop of
barbarians. Like other cities, it kisses
the vampire, private ownership of land.
The unearned increment is taken by
those who never earned it, and strug-
Cling industry is taxed to supply the
missing cash. And within the walls Of
this great city that has but one thing
to be proud of-its increase of size
there is not in its council chamber one
protesting voice against this miserable
state of affairs.
They imagine they are building
city when, in truth, they are only con-
structing another of those cancerous
growths that from time to time appear
on the face of Mother Earth.

CALLS AUTO SPEED pAMNABLE

Editor Herald: AS a newcomer 1
am absolutely charmed with Los An
geles. The half has not been told"
It is impossible to exaggerate; even
the postcards are a disappointment,
and that is what I tell my friends
when sending them back east. The
city is a hustling, progressive, live
community, and is way in advance of
anything of it's size in the east. And
the climate-wel. that IS worth several
dollars to any man who has lived in
the east, where his coal bill keeps his
trousers ION the ragged edge"
I say hurrah for Los Angeles and its
progressive spirit! And having said
eastern consumption but Los Angeles.
The manner in which the authorities
permit automobiles and motorcycles
to speed in this town is a shame and a
disgrace, as we'll as a menace to life
and limb. Such reckless speeding
would not be permitted an instant in
any eastern city. In plain language,
it is damnable. 1t has always been
held as an axiom of law that the
pedestrian has the first rights at street
crossings, but here he has no rights
that an automobilist or motorcyclist
is bound to respect. The council should
pass an ordinance limiting these We
hicles to eight miles an hour and they
should be compelled to slow up at
every street crossing.

EDUCATION AND BREEDING

Editor Herald: avenue Fifty
three's" statement in the Letter Box
for December recalls similar eXpe-
rienee of my own. Three years ago,
with my little daughter, ] was trying
to board a Santa Monica car on
Fourth street. We were nearly thrown
to the ground by young men in their
mad haste to secure desirable seats.
have several times been Jostled
aside by a strong man, g. late conner,
but able to "get ahead" because he
was active and unincumbered. And
l have ridden for many blocks in a
crowded car standing with heavy
baby in my arms and an older child
clinging to my skirts.
10 be sure, such have not been my
usual experiences. But there is far
too little consideration shown the aged,
the weak. the burdened in our modern
American scramble. And where these
kindly public courtesies are shown
they come far more often from the
middle-aged or elderly, or from rough
ly clad laborers, than from those who
are young, strong and supposedly
we'll bred.
1t is the sad truth that with very
many of our ablest youths the product
of our elaborate education, the aim of
life is to "get there" and not to take
time to help needy fellow mortal by
the way. q. N. c.

MAKING A LlVINe-ANYWHERE

Editor Herald: When will people like
your correspondent ~. A. NJ come to
grasp the fundamental truth that the
economic problem is (today) an inter-
national, a world problem? Because he
has read somewhere the collected fg-
11res of English trade failures he
tmagines them to be something pc
culiar to that country though similar
conditions are passing unnoticed rght
here under his very nose.
~. A. NJ" did it ever occur to you
to notice on the most prosperous bus
mess streets of Los Angeles-Broad-
way, Spring street, Main street, etc
how there is a constant incoming ana
outgoing of business ventures? Have
YOU never noticed how, almost as soon
as a. store has been refitted and stocked
we see il again in the shop-fltter's S
hands being remodeled for new con-
cern? And if you have noticed this,
what meaning do you attach to such
signs and portents but that at each
such change some poor devil after
brief experiment has gone out minus
the few thousands he started with,
which have been swallowed up in eX-
orbitant rental and advertising before
even he had time or a chance to make
2. business. Don't mistake, y. A. M,
behind each such exodus, though our
"system" hides 1t from the common
gaze, is a tragic scene o. blood and
sweat and tears" VAL S1ONh'

wELL-MEANINe WOMEN

Editor Herald: Mrs. Shelly Tolhurst
makes great fun of Senator Hurds re-
mark that women are now upon PIN
nacles and that giving them the ballot
would pull them down to a position of
equality with men," She refers to the
vast army of underpaid woman work.
ers, and evidently considers the argu-
ment conclusive. l find myself unable,
however, to congratulate the lady on
her logic, for there is an even Yaster
army of underpaid male workers which
has been steadily sinking into economic
slavery despite its possession of the
sovereign ballot.
OF course the women reply that the
men have wasted their opportunities
and that they themselves will set
very different example. What is the
record? Read Barry in the Ladies
Home Journal for November and you
will find the answer, set out in figures
and facts that admit of no dispute.
They have had full woman suffrage In
wyoming forty-one years; in Colorado
they have had it sixteen, in Utah hf-
teen and in Idaho fourteen They nave
accomplished nothing.
Mr. Dooley never tires of telling US
that the women of Archie street, those
who wear shawls over their heads, care
nothing about woman suffrage, and the
fact is that the leaders of the move
ment belong almost exclusively to the
privileged, sheltered class. Hence their
remedies for social evils are precisely
of that kind the privileged class IN
dorses. since they leave privileges un-
touched. They teach that poverty is
due to the intemperance of the masses,
to what Mrs. Tolhurst calls booze and
protected vice" Economically this
teaching, fostered by the churches, is
the most vicious of lies; morally it is
slander; socially 1t takes us back to
the New England blue laws and is de-
structive of all individuality.
Washington has just declared Tor
woman suffrage, and l note that Ia
coma now makes it a crime to treat
a friend to drink Surely the force
of tyrannical imbecility can no farther
go. These people are making us babies,
but some day we shall wake up ana
realize that their program is despottsm
incarnate. T. X, G.

AN ANSWER TO 'sENEx

Editor Herald The gentleman
signing himself "Senex," who recently
asked what he considered some peril
nent questions through your columns,
has evidently forgotten the very name
of the subject he wishes to investigate.
Christian Science is what the name
indicates-the science of Christianity
and is therefore knowledge that can
be proved. The very nature of Christian
Science makes it impossible for hu-
man personality to cast "glamor"
over 1t or make 1t any more sacred.
No personality can ever cast a glamor
over any science, for true knowledge
always existed. Witness the wireless
telegraph system, discovered in our
age. Who accuses Marcont of per-
sonality, even though he named his
discovery after himself? And all over
the civilized world people are today
investigating his theory and invention
and profting by 1t. Facts" do exist,
indeed, and always have, and when
Mrs. Eddy discovered Christian Science
she did not discover anything new but
the Truth about God and His Christ,
which men had lost sight of since a
few years after Jesus time, and were
merely theorizing about. A Creator
without variableness neither shadow
of turning must work according to
fixed laws, and these laws Mrs. Eddy
has explained to mankind for their re-
demption from sin and sickness, not
as new invention but discovery of
a fact"
She gave to the thinking world the
knowledge of an immutable. all-wise

Editor Herald: History will not re
peat itself in the politics Of the United
States by Socialism being swallowed
plank at a time by the old parties as
were the Populists and silVerites
"In0uirer" has no cause to wonder
The reasons are many, and among
them the primary reasons are as fol-
lows: The POpulists were inspired by
purely local issues, a s were the some
dozen of other abOrtiVe parties long
since defunct Socialism is world
movement and stands today the great
est movement, involving as 1t does the
whole human race, the most stupen-
dous movement the world has ever
known
1t is not the petty chickering's of a
few local partisans advocating tram
sient issue. 1t deals in the principles
of human Justice. 1t knows no race
no elan, no tribe, no nation. 1t makes
the issue on a single basic point that
is as material to the citizens of one
country as TO those of another. The
issue is to whom the bread and butter
belongS-tO the man who by his in
dustry creates the good things of life
or the man who by the sophistries Of
the barbaric ages appropriates them
This and only this is the question that
these United States and all other ma
tiOns must soon decide. Now for the
first time Of historic record pOllJlcS
has made an issue of justiCe-the phi
losophy of to whom the world belongs.
The inhabitants of the earth are to-
day, and have always been, divided
into two classes-those who work to
produce wealth as one class and those
who work to Wrest the products from
the producer as the other class. A
Socialist is one who knows that So
cialism is later name for Gods etert

his political following No dear TN

once sees that great truth Of the

again fuse with the Republicans or

parties of the class who live from

VALUiNG FARM LAND

Editor Herald: MY second letter Gov
cred the selection of lower and upper
valley and hilltop lands in the south
west. This, my third letter, devote to
basic truths about selecting land from
Puget sound to Panama and the Anna
zon valley. Bishop Berkeley stated
historic truth in a celebrated poem:
Westward the course Of the empire takes Its
way.
Prof. Totten says that the Israelites,
captive in Babylonia, took advantage OF
a war between that country ana Egypl
and escaped travelling for four centu-
ries westward until they reached what
is now called Saxony. The nations
through which they passed called them
Isaac's sons, gradually Gliding the first
SYLLABLE until they were called SaXonS
CSaacs sons). For twenty-five centu-
ries this westward ho!' has been on
our tongue until we have reached the
Pacific coast. There, is no attraction
farther west. How will this restless
ness of twenty-five centuries be satls-
fed? BY creeping down both sides OF
the cornuCopia, Mexico and Cehtfal
America, and then overfiowing the val
lev of the Amazon, which will be done
within the next fifty years. Already
cheap labor from Europe and Asia ana
speculative land prices have begun TO
drive the flower of American empire
builders south, just as oppression ana
lordly land grabbing have driven the
flower of European ambition and ener-
gy to North and South America. Why
should home seekers stop here perma-
nently and pay large prices per acre
for wild land. and as much more per
acre to water and fence 1t, when they
can get better land plenty of rainfall
and earlier and more certain tropical
crops for half the money by going far
ther south? Our land promoters should
not increase the price of land here too
rapidly, or it will drive prospective
settlers farther south. They are going
now by the train load. 1t looks now
like it is part of Gods plan to drive our
most energetic and ambitious people
far to the south, into Central and South
America, and later on the best people
of Europe into Africa, to make both
southern hemispheres blossom as the
rose" and it will not be a menace to
the people already there, in war of
"the survival of the fttest," but on
the contrary, it will be movement led
by the Prince of Peace for their good,
because we now see that war Is brutal
and unbusinesslike, for it destroys mil
lions of customers now and hereafter

THE RIDDLE oF DEATH

Editor Herald: Thomas A. Edison
has been telling us how he thinks there
is a God and that we are not to live
bevond death. Some of us who are
about to die are not content with
this prospect We have lived beyond
the years where one cares to forget
by being busy We have lived to
where book authority cannot bring as
surance.
There must be a God, some universal
intelligence, else we and the universe
just happened. Such an Intelligence
ought to be able and willing to hold
MS on over this death scene. Still such
reasoning process is not quite assuring
at 2 o'clock in the morning.
IF I must sail tomorrow l have a
right to ask WHITTIER Is there some
other shore? Spiritualism promised an
answer. Perhaps it has one. 1t should
hasten with its message. The keel OF
the boat is grating on the sand. L
have tried. Has any one word that
will pierce the dark? Not flowers, put
a light? JOHN fOS1hh'

ouR AMERICAN .oLIeARcHW

Editor Herald: The United States
is not a republic, though a large num-
Der of persons think it is. The Amer
lean peaple are ruled by lawyers and
this nation is an oligarchy of lawyers.
President Taft is a lawyer. At the
national council he is surrounded by
a cabinet of nine members, seven OF
whom are lawyers. OF the ninety
two members of our American house
of lords, or senate, siXty-seven are
lawyers. The presiding officer Of the
senate is also a lawyer.
The house of representatives Is COM
posed of 39S members, of whom 212 are
lawyers, more than tho followers of
all other trades and professions com
bined.
I think the Socialists are right in
their contention that representation
should be through representatives Of
trades in the national congress and
state legislatures and not as now Of
districts. ClV1LlIAIION1S4 l.
