FEDERATION

A NDREW CARNEGIE'S visit has
"A developed a feature of great
"A national and International i'm
portance His outspoken remarks on
the logical certainty as well as the
necessity of the reunion of the races
and nations that use the language
commonly called English" (although
as a matter of fact it is a polyglot
blend) are certain to make a profound
impression wherever they are pub
lished.
With absolute certainty and with
assurance the reporting is accurate
we can quote President Mckinley, who
in a friendly talk discussing the flu
ture of the republic and empire and
the possibility of a union for peace
and prosperity" said: 1T may come
to that: yes. it may HAVE to come
to that" a remark 10 which the reac-
tionary. continental European atti-
tude during the Spanish war gave
additional force and point.
Mr. Carnegie intimates King Ed
ward IS reconciled to the prospect OF
the loss OF the conservative identity
of the little island nucleus of great
world empire and the establishment
of its permanent identity in the form
of states of the world union.
President Mckinley said: 1T may
come to that" Mr.. Carnegie said
That's what it is coming to-" The
hereditary representative of the
cause of the division of the united
races said: 81 like that" Thus we
are able TO quote accurately repre-
sentatives of three great interests-a
representative of the great business
interest of the United States. repre-
sentative of the great political inter-
est of the United States, represen-
tative of the obstacle class" the
hereditary privilege-wearers of the
United Kingdom.
Since all three agree as to the GER
tainty of federation, who shall say
it is an iridescent dream?

"LADY" AND "GENTLEMAN"
REPROACHED FOR VIEWS

LOS ANGELES, March 7.-[Editor
HERALD: The letters recently published
in The Herald signed A Lady and A
Gentleman should be means of edu-
cation to all, especially to those who
class themselves with these writer's.
All are familiar with the English
definitions of the terms lady" aud
gentleman" and of the reproach
brought upon their class by those hold
ing the views of these two writer's. 1t
is a surprise, however that the writer
claiming she is "a LADY, should admit
that people of her class need a label to
distinguish them from the common
herd.
God has marked the real lady and
gentleman. The stamp Of a noble heart
and cultivated intellect is readily recog-
country. To admit that one needs to
be labeled is to admit one does not be-
long to the true nobility. 1t reminds
one of an illustration in one of the
older French textbooks. An American
was being criticised because in his
country there were not the social
classes as represented in England. He
was told a gentleman was one who
never soiled his hands with work, who
passed much of his time in out-of-
door life etc. The American replied
quite naturally: ooh, yes, we have the
people you refer to, but in America we
call them tramps."
1t is a lamentable admission in those
with wealth and leisure do not avail
themselves Of their opportunities to
develop the characters that show plain
ly the widest mental outlook and
broadest sympathies. 1t is a sad illus
traction of the Bible saying: "If man
desire to be first, the same shall be
the last of all and servant of all"
Fortunately many of those whose
names stand high in books of heraldry
with those Of truest nobility in our own
land are the least assuming, and the
most active workers for the good of
mankind. Men and women of this noble
class would be the last to offend any
honest toiler in however humble a
sphere.
They know the progress of the world
will come through truer worship of
God and greater service to man. The
antagonism of the classes can only be

MEXICAN TRADE

~ ONE Los Angeles business men
are advocating the adoption OF
~ the metric system of weights and
measurements for Mexican trade. II
is urged Mexican business men are
accustomed to the metric system. ON
the other hand, T. F. Ryan says trade
can be built up without the adoption
of the metric system. Mr.. Ryan is
the enterprising merchant who pro-
poses to establish a steamship line be-
tween Los Angeles and Mexican ports
if Los Angeles merchants will guar
antee him 1900 tons of freight south
bound the first year. Mr.. Ryan, it
should be noted, is not seeking a sub
sidy, but a guaranty
We believe the building up of trade
is more important than the method
Of measurement used in reckoning
trade values. At the same time, if
the metric system would help to build
up business, its adoption in Mexican
trading should be seriously considered
by the merchants Of Los Angeles.
Other things being equal, and the
difficulties that are being interposed
by vexatious tariff barriers being over
come the lucrative development Of
trade with Mexico may be looked for
ward to with confident expectation
amounting to certainty.

BILLBOARDS

N ILLBOARDS have not been abol-
X ished, but may be regulated by
- a limitation Of height TO six feet
from the ground. Council President
Works thinks the proposed ordinance
does not go far enough. 1t does not
provide the bottoms of bulbcards
must be raised from the ground, so
that thieves or other undesirable
characters will find it impossible to
hide behind them. Still since the city
attorney has found the bulboards can
not be abolished as a nuisance, legi4-
lation on the subject is narrowed IN its
scope, and the proposed measure is
much better than none at all.
We hope it will be found possible to
remove the sky-scraping billboards, the
towering monstrosities that eliminate
great slices of landscape and of sky.
and haunt obtrusive impertinences in
the gaudy color and fantastic design
peculiar to what is known as bill
board art" And doubtless civic pride
and patriotism viii produce a feeling
that will do away entirely with the
billboard nuisance without any special
legislation.

SAYS RULERS FATTEN ON THE
TOLL OF THE REAL WORKERS

LOS ANGELES, March 11.-[Editor
Heraldl: 1t does ones heart good to
read the letter of Harry b. Walker in
tOdays Terald, and / believe that A
Gentleman deserves a good scourging
of the tongue. But 1 cannot under
stand how any one can take the letter
of A Lady seriously. To my mind it
came too close on the heels of A Gem
tleman's letter, and was probably writ
ten as joke to provoke criticism. 1t
evidently touched a tender spot if one
may judge by the number of answers,
and the consensus of opinions seems to
point to selfshness as the root of the
evil.
1 have not in all the answers seen a
remedy offered.
G. M. c. says: "Of course some must
rule while others serve" and l presume
some ride above all obstacles by the
strength of their wills; but it is work
that elevated them above some of their
fellow men and made them rulers"
Now there is a lurking suspicion In
the minds of many today that the real
rulers to a very great extent are those
who are fattening on the toll of their
fellowmen, without due compensation
These rulers influence legislation, ana
drag Justice in the mire. But / for
one see little hope of betterment until
the ethics of Christ are lived up to,
and men become more desirous of serV-
ing than to be served.
The conditions desired will obtain,
but not in this dispensation. AS well
expect the Liberty Bell to give clear,
certain sound-which is, by the way,
type of our freedom today. Nothing
but a melting, a dissolving, can restore
it to it's former condition of whole
ness. Yet we reverence it, as well as
our constitution, and rightly so, while
we long for the dissolving process fore
told by the prophets of old.

WANTS OPEN CAMPAIGN TO
FINISH THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC

OXNARD, Cal, March 14.-[Editor
herald: 1t is very gratifying to note
the honorable position The Herald
takes in support of reform movements
for the betterment of the city govern
ment of Los Angeles in regard to its
civic and moral conditions. Tos are
to be congratulated by all who wish
to see all forms of political and moral
corruption abated and eliminated from
the city's life.
AS possibly looking to this desirable
end, your little editorial in last Sun
days issue on Booze and Business
attracted my interested attention, for
| have often wondered why The Her
aid could still remain in the back
ground in regard to totally ridding the
city of the iniquitous liquor traffic.
If the dry town. principle is good
for Oceanside and dozens of other
towns equally prosperous under pro-
hibition, on moral as we'll as business
grounds, why would not that principle
work we'll for Los Angeles on a largely
magnfied scale? On reading that little
editorial one would reasonably be en-
couraged to look for The Herald to
come out hatfooted as the champion to
join in the battle being waged to put
an end to the wasteful and damaging
traffic that stands a constant menace
to the highest welfare of the city and,
by your own admission, a serious
hindrance to its economic prosperity
Mr.. Editor, why not join the campaign
to Finish the job?'
Possessing the immense power at
your command, through The Heralds
columns, and being accountable for the
use you make of 1t, you can well afford
to openly champion the cause of saloon
suppression. and thus win share of
the credit that would surely ensue.
In Saturdays issue I was unable to
find a single advertisement of the
liquor business. If this is indicative

PROGRESS

nY THE "own your own home" plan
X the people of Ireland today are
~ fast exchanging the system of
great landed interests for one of indi-
vidual proprietorship; and as the land
produce industry is part and parcel of
land ownership the possibility of any
kind of trust" in provisions has been
minimized. Foodstuffs as a rule will
go directly from producer to consumer,
and it has already been announced
that if the railroads do not work in
harmony with this policy and give the
producers moderate and just rates, the
government will proceed to the ma
tionalization of the railroads of Ire
land
Students of the Irish question be-
lieve the establishment of home rule
or local governing bodies to deal with
Irish affairs is only a question of time
and adjustment Of some matters of
routine. The alleged injustice which
would result to Scotland. Wales and
provincial England from the estab-
lishment of a local parliament in Ire
land is easy to obviate, because un-
doubtedly Scotland, Wales and the
English provinces should and will have
local governing bodies formed on the
model of the Irish legislature. The
way to home rule has been eased
greatly by the establishment of "coun-
ty councils" which are nothing more
nor less than little local legislatures
or parliaments. County councils have
yielded such successful results they
logically point to the establishment, as
corollary and supplementary PROPOSE
tions, of national or national-divisional
councils.

HUGE SAVING

~ INCE Senator Aldrich is certain
he could save the nation $780,
~ 100000 a year if he were per-
mitted to manage the affairs of the
government he should at least be
called into counsel and asked TO eX-
plain. The huge sum he would save
would mean much to the American
people if it were applied for their So
cial and educational advancement.
With such a fund, government should
be able to make unemployment i'm
possible by giving every citizen a
chance to earn money, if only enough
to tide him along until he should
have an opportunity of working at his
own trade.
An enormous amount of waste is
represented by the periods of enforced

SAYS SUBJECTS DISCUSSED
SHOULD SUIT THE AUDIENCE

Los ANGELES, March 16-[Editor
Herald; Il feel, Mr.. Editor" writes
\. J. Dickerman, that all this talk
(about slums and prisons, is futile and
useless as the cause of there being
both prisons and slums is idleness."
And he points out that there are
thousands of acres in California to
which labor should have access.
| agree with this last statement, but
say that is not the really vital point.
All men of experience will testify that
you cannot win over the public with
generalities or abstract doctrines. 1t is
not a mathematical but a human prob
lem with which you have to deal. and
so long as society has only a vague
feeling that something is wrong, moth
ing will be done. 1t must be shown in
detail how inevitably society breaks
down when justice is denied, and the
illustrations must be fitted to the audi
ence.
Many roads lead to Rome. Many
men and women feel keenly on the
trust question. They must be shown
how, by denial of equal opportunity
to the masses, plutocracy is able to
rob those thus rendered helpless. 9th
ers care about the tariff and must be
shown that privilege for the few al
ways means the plundering of the
many.
Millions have no clear conceptions
respecting political corruption, or the
inhumanty with which the crime of
being poor is punished. Their discus.
sion of the slum and prison problems
throws a flood of light. discloses the
grave dangers ahead and breaks down
that wall of apathy which is the great
est obstacle to progress.
All such streams swell the mood OF
righteous discomfort. and before any
decided change is thinkable there must
come a genuine and deep-seated revolt
of the spirit Literature, realistic lit
erature, is producing this, by reveal
ing to us this world as 1t actually is.

matters in either house" In a letter
written by Mr.. Taft to Lucien B. Swift
of Indianapolis in February last Mr..
Aldrich was referred to as "a great
constructive statesman" Mr.. Aldrich
is chairman Of the senate committee
on finance and as such exercises a
powerful influence upon legislation.
When such a man says that if he
were permitted to do so he could save
$780, 900, 900 a year, the question nat
urally arises, Who or what is restrain
ing him? The "ablest statesman in
financial matters in either house." the
acknowledged "leader Of the senate"
and chairman of the finance committee
should be in position, with the presi
dents assistance, to remove any small
obstacles in the way Of retrenchment
and reform.
Mr.. Aldrich has said too much or he
has not said enough. Is there no men,
ber of the senate with curiosity enough
to ask the gentleman to explain him
self?

~ ENATOR ALDRICH has not been
held to a strict accountability
~ for his hasty remark that If he
were permitted to manage the affairs
Of the government he could save $780,
100000 a year. Some of his associates
have said this was an exaggeration.
Others have dismissed the matter hu-
morOusly.
Yet the time may come presently
when the senator will be called upon
for an explanation. Mr. Aldrich is an
exceedingly powerful man in Washing
ton. as events have shown. He is one
of the very few men whom the pres
ident has publicly praised. His polit-
ical standing is unquestioned. His com
mand of the administration forces in
congress is beyond dispute.
