RECALLS EARLY POLITICAL
HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA

Editor Herald: I notice in your
valuable pap of a few days ago that
you give Theodore Bell the credit of
being the pioneer, or original enemy
of the railroad machine in California.
You will pardon me if l refresh your
memory. You are not probably aware
of the fact that in 1868 Gen John Bid
well raised the standard of revolt and
became an aspirnt for governor but
was defeated in the convention by
George c. Gorham. The old Sacra-
mento Union was the battery from
which anti-monopoly shots We're hurled
and relying the action of the Repub-
lican convention, placed Caleb T. Fay,
as its personal candidate, before the
people. Fay received over 1000 votes,
which defeated Gorham and elected H.
II. Haight the Democratic candidate,
although the Republicans had clear
majority of $4,000 in the state.
In 1872 the anti-boss, or Independent,
party was fully organized and elected
Newton Booth over Haight, who ran
f. a second term All this was he
fore Theodore Bell was born.
There is one prominent man in this
state who has kept the faith and has
never bowed the knee to any boss.

THE Interpreter" in the August
American Magazine, strikes the nail
right on the head His prophetic words
should be bazoned from one end of
this country to the other; they are
like the writing on the wall. The fol-
lowing is quoted in part from the ar
tiCle:
But there is a still more impressive
section of this army of Independent
voters. The naturally discontented will
remain discontented-natur A good
many voters will be satisfied with a
thorough overhauling and houseclean-
ing and the exemplary punishment of
the worst offenders. The insurgent Re-
publicans will go back into the fold
when their immediate demands are
satisfied. Old-fashioned Democratic
doctrines will recall oldfashioned
Democrats to their old-fashioned al
legiance. Bosses will be sacrificed.
Notifications of the tariff income
taxes, corporation tax laws, regula-
tion of railways and other similar
measures will work conciliation. But
when party lines are drawn and
strengthened again. then will be left
outside still, from present indications,
many thoughtful serious, enthusiastic
men who, apparently, have suddenly
become convinced that Poverty is che
disgrace of. modern civilization, that it
is incompatible with democracy, and
that it is durable by political measures

The August American Magazine con-
tains an article about Senator Hale.
from which the following is an extract:
Eugene Hale, senior senator from
Maine, lis one of our leading aristo-
Gratis. He believes in the divine right
family-if the family happens to be
wealthy-and if he had motto 1t
might be Riches to tie rich Incident
ally, he is rich himself and lives i'll
palace in Washington.
This characteristic 'eaning toward
the moneyed classes has been notice
able not only in his social intercourse,
but also in his legislative career in the
senate. 1t is not intended to convey
the idea that Hale is toady. He is
far too independent But he believes in
class, and his own class in particular,
and he. does not care to have anything
to do with the world outside Recently
one of the elevator men at the capitol,
a newcomer, or he would not have ven
tured-said politely to Senator Hale as
the latter entered the car:
Good morning, senator. It's fine
day, sir
THE senator looked the man over
from top to toe and satd
"'When l desire your advice on. the
weather | shall ask for it, which effec-
tually withered the elevator man. The
incident showed Senator Hale's atti-
tude toward the mass of humanity out
side his ,wn circle.

Los Angeles has done very well in
deed. Its growth has been phenomenal
BY annexation and otherwise 1t has
got itself to be u city of 305,000 in a
comparatively brief space of time; but,
after all, it is far from being THE
whole thing" San Franciscans are
too modest to brag, but If they chose to
do so they might point to their exploit
of adding over 225,000 to their. popula-
tion since April, 1906, as a far more con-
spicuouus case of rapid expansion than
our alert and vigorous southern neigh
Dor can show.
On the first of May, 1906, according
to a Los Angeles estimate San Fran
cisco had less than 100000 inhabitants.
We were too busy to take census at
the time, but Interested neiGhbors sat
isned themselves that we were very
much to the bad. We have no reason
to challenge the estimates then made.
They were probably nearly correct
and their acceptance enables us to
point with pride to the rapidity of our
growth since that date, for we now
have over 425,000 people within our
borders.
And this increase is not by any
means due to the return of San Fran
ciscans from over the bay Plenty
have come back to us from there, but
many have also gone there from here.
When the official figures of the census
are published it will be seen that the
transbay region has been growing
some also, for Oakland, Berkeley and
Alameda will appear in the records
with 250000.
In an area one-fourth as great as
that of Los Angeles city. having Sixth
and Market streets as its center we
cen count 100000 people now living

.Poverty--the Great Issue

This feeling is running like fire
through the very influential people
who are interested in voluntary char
table work. ii has taken hold of AZ
number of religious sects. and recent
events have shown that it is the moV-
ing force among the younger clergy of
a highly influential church. These
people are not socialists. Some of them
are fiercely opposed to socialism. But
they cannot see that there is anything
beneficial to humanity in any form of
government or any political party that
permits the spread of want with its
attendant disease and crime and its
impairment of the future of the hu-
man race When they see Poverty
they can't see any other political is
sue. 1t makes no difference to them
whether the tariff is raised or lowered,
whether we have a large navy or a
small one, whether railway companies
are supervised by the government or
left to their own devices These are
academic questions that can be decided
one way or another without changing
the. level of civilization. The social
problem is the only problem worth
discussing, and they are none the less
jealous in thrusting it forward and,
as it were, shaking it in the faces of
public men, because, unlike the So
cialists, they are not ready to propose
a solution made in Germany or else
where"
Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-04

We are tempted-and will yield to
the temptation--to echo the inquiry of
one of our letter writing readers who
asked why it Is that in the frequent
discussion. of our colleges, and the
equally frequent criticism of the re-
suits they achieve, little or nothing is
said about the teaching ability of pro-
fessors or the possibility that lack of
this talent may account in no small
measure for the failure of college grad
yates to be and do all that is expected
of them.
It is a fact, of course, that not every
learned man is able to impart his
knowledge to others, and it is probably
a fact that possession Of the qualities
that give success in original investiga-
ton, the exploration Of new fields, Is
likely to make the man who has them
a poor teacher. He is almost sure to
find work of filling immature minds
with elementary information the most
dismal of drudgery, and to begrudge
every minute of time he devotes to that
task. A college professor may be a
great man and an honored member of
many societies, and still be, as a
teacher, Woefully incompetent.
Too often, in passing judgment on
college faculty, emphasis is placed on
the noble books it's members have writ
ten or the discoveries they have made.

A Senate Aristocrat

ha this characteristic to greater de-
gree than any others. 1t comes with
time, they say, and If so, Hale comes
Ly it honestly, for he has been in the
senat.. longer than any other senator,
Thirty years. Dignity simply eXudes
from Hale. They say that he is more
arrogant than Henry Cabot Lodgt OF
Massachusetts. but this is hardly fair.
Intolerant would be better adjective.
Senator Hale does not like to talk
to many persons, and If you do not
happen to be one of the elect 1t is pos
sible to get much quicker and better
res Ilts by writing him letter. He Is
punctilous about answering letters.
"If the modern American navy may
be said 0 have father, Senator Hale
comes nearer to filing the bill than any
other man. He has had charge OF all
the navy appropriation bills in the SEN
ate for the last tWenty-nine years. He
has obtained a good deal out of these
appropriation bills for his own people
in the way of navy yards. But 1t was
necessary to have navy yards some-
where.
with the possible exception of his
work for the navy, Hale's work in the
senate has been general. He has had
an important part in framing more leg
islatin1 than any other senator-bar
none-but there isn't a single item you
can put your hand on and say, That is
Hale's' There's an Aldrich emergency
currency law, Sherman antitrust
law. a Hepburn railroad rate law, but
there is no Hale law"

WOULD ELEVATE PLANE OF
THE PROSECUTORS OFFICE

Editor Herald: Il frequently look
upon the testimony of policemen with
a good deal of suspicion. l have some
times thought that l would never con-
Wet upon the unsupported testimony
of a policeman"
This is what the late Judge Benja-
min n. Smith said . be in connec-
tion with a case where a man was
sent to the penitentiary upon the tes-
ttmony of a policeman.
In this case the testimony of the
officer was direct he having testified
to what he saw in broad daylight,
standing not more than twenty feet
away and with no obstruction to his
vision.
The jury convicted because there
seemed nothing else to do under the
law and in the face of such testimony.
Judge Smith was much disappointed
with the verdict and told me that he
should ask the governor to pardon the
man. He told me of another case
which he tried, where the officer tes-
titled to something which he saw only
few feet away and which, If the
jury believed, must necessarily convict
The prosecuting attorney asked for d
conviction on the testimony. But Judge
Smith said his suspicion was aroused
and he took the court to the scene of
the alleged crime and ordered the jury
to be placed just where the officer
sWore he stood, with the result that it
showed that it was a physical impos-
s oility for the officer to see what he
did see unless he could have seen
through a brick wall. Without word
said-by the instruction of the Judge
the jury was then taken back to the
courtroom, and Judge Smith said he
then asked tie prosecution what, if
anything. they had to say, and they
said they had no case.
In Judge Smiths court man was
on trial for murderous assault. l think
he was a Mexican. AS 1 remember
the case there was a sort of convivial
gathering with a good deal of red wine
and as a sort of windup to the festiv-
tiles they all INDUCED in indiscrim-
mate knife play.
There was no evidence to show who
did this particular cutting. The man
who was cut said he didn't know. But
the officers hold of this defendant
and subjected him to this peculiar
S stem of obtaining evidence known
as the third degree"
The jury didn't convict and after the
ve~-.ct was in l was walking with the
prosecuting attorney and | said "Well,
it seems your jury didn't convict"
mo" he said and when they went
out I said to myself that If they could
convict on that evidence as that they
could 60 a damn sight more than I
could"
Now, I tell this to show the need,
which [ believe exists for the raising
o the prosecuting office to higher
plane, restoring it to the position which
it ought to have and does occupy in
American and English Jurisprudence.
JUNIUS.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-04

commendable in the opinion of every
good citizen, has been fatal to any
hopes that he may have entertained of
becoming the favored candidate of the
machine in the present contest. At the
same time, he has on other occasions
in his political career acted with the
machine and shown a subserYiency to
it which, while probably necessary to
any man who in the past has achieved
political distinction through the Re
publican party in this state, yet
makes it impossible that the reform
forces of the Republican party should
support him for governor.
The result is that the Southern Pa
cifc bureau. which controls the ma
chine end of Republican politics in this
state, has repudiated Mr.. Stanton in
favor of Mr.. Anderson. who is and has
been in all his political career, first,
last and all the time, subservient to
the Southern Pacific machine
Mr.. stanton end his friends certainly
know that they can have no hope Of
any support from the Southern Pa
cific machine Neither will they re-
ceive any support from the reform
forces of the Republican party who
are pledged to Mr.. Johnson's candi-
dacy, and whose only hope of freeing
their party from the domination of
the Southern Pacific machine is found
in that candidate
The result is that Mr.. Stanton has
fallen between two stools, and every
friend of his in Southern California
who on account of some of the good
things which he has done in his po-
litical career may desire to support
him, but who at the same time is in
terested in good government viii lose
his vote should he cast it for Mr.. Stan
ton. There is, under conditions as they
have developed and are apparent at
the present time, absolutely no hope
for Mr.. StantOns nomination. While
he might get some reform Republican
votes in this county on account of per-
sonal friendship, and the confidence
which men who have known him as a
friend and fellow citizen have in him,
he certainly will not get any of the re-
form Republican support outside of
his home county. Neither will he re
ceive any support that the corrupt
Southern Pacific political bureau that
dominates the machine end Of his
party can divert from him, and it can
practically control the support of that
element of the party.
Under all the circumstances, Mr.
Stanton's candidacy appears to be
nothing more than an unfortunate
episode in the contest which is being
waged in this state between the forces
of decencX and of machine corruption
in the Republican party, He can have
absolutely no hope of success, and he
may, and probably will, take some
votes from the reform Republican cam
didate in this county, unless his
friends make up their minds that there
is no use wasting their votes through
a sentiment of personal loyalty, and
for that reason decide to support the
only candidate in the field who offers
any hope of destroying the Southern
Pacific machine, to wit, Nj Hiram
Johnson.

Professors and Teachers
New York Times

| These are fine things, it cannot be de-
MED, but it would be more relevant to
the purposes which colleges are de-
signed to attain If attention were fixed
on such matters as the interest in their
work which the professors create
among their students, as the attention
with which their lectures are followed,
and. most of all. as the average quality
of the collegiate output. The glory or
disgrace of a college is its graduates.
If they enter life with awakened intel
ligences. trained and competent, there
is no doubt about the excellence of the
professors, though never a one of them
published a notable edition of a classic
author, enlarged the list of elements,
or delved deeper than any predecessor
into the mystery of living cells
To one of Americas greatest mathe-
maticians so many things were self
evident that his demonstrations, mag
nificent as they were, could not be fol-
lowed by the students and left them
weared and discouraged. This sub
ject certainly deserves more considera-
tion than it has hitherto received, and
if 1t were given there is at least a
chance that some of the college pro-
fessors now ranked among the highest
would be seen, not as less worthy of
respect, but as men lamentably out of
their proper place.
