GOOD ROADS.

m ALKING of bonds, there was a
good roads issue, in the success of
II which wideawake citizens were
vitally interested. and for which they
worked. 1t might have been thought
that with $35OOOOO much progress
would have been made in the construc-
tion Of a system of good roads in Los
Angeles county. The bonds were
voted; but where are the roads?
What of the stone-crushers on the
San Fernando road, which is one of
the most attractive highways in the
san Fernando valley? Arc they useful
or merely ornamental? What of the
various roads which cannot be Travelled
safely by automobiles? What of the
Eagle Rock road, the scene not long ago
of a most distressing accident, which
would have been practically impossible
If the road had been widened and
properly fenced at the well-known S
curve?
We looked for better results in good
road making. The people have a right
to expect better. And they do expect
better. What is the matter? The
weather is good. The roads are not
snowbound. Is it not high time tC
prosecute in vigorous earnest the High
ly important work Of constructing &
complete system of good roads for Los
Angeles county?

LAUDS PLAN OF COUNTY
FARMS FOR PRISONERS

LOS ANGELES, April 1s.-[Editor
Herald: l noticed in The Herald Mr..
Stevens letter regarding the county
farms for prisoners and those on pa
role. 1 wish to say this is grand
idea. but a far greater thing would be
the state industrial farm or farms for
men before they become criminals,
then the parole system would not be
needed so much. When men are idle
and hungry is the time they commit
crime, and while they are idle they are
more apt to take to drinking, which
leads the majority to Jail and the chain
gang.
1t takes two to transact the business
of drinking. one to sell the liquor, an
other to drink it. One is as bad as the
other If a man does wrong by drink
ing liquor the man who sells il also
does wrong and should be punished
the same as the drinker.
The state industrial farm or farms
to give work to idle men would be the
greatest blessing not only to them
selves but the people of the whole
state. Why? Because it could be
made a fine paying institution for the
state. It would care for thousands
of men who are now being thrown into
1ail at a great expense to the state
and then the men come out worse than
they went in. G. l.. ROBERTSON.

PRESIDENT EMBARRASSED

N RESIDENT TAFT is breaking one
record, anyway We do not think
u there ever has been an instance
in which a campaign for denomination
has been started full blast at such an
early stage Of presidential career.
His friends are publishing laudatory
reviews of his administration and are
making what they call it's admirable
nature the basis for appeals to the
people to send him back to power.
II the chief executive of the United
States were to be considered merely
as a possible candidate for reelection.
all this booming" might be legiti-
mate. But since the president of the
United States is president of all the
people, isn't it tiresome to the people
and embarrassing to the chief execu-
tive to have his administration seized
on by scheming politicians and their
newspaper allies for the purpose Of
providing advertising material for
campaign for denomination?
The ardor of his partisans is not fiat
tering to the president, who seems to
realize many people will draw the
conclusion it is poor cause that
needs so much bolstering. 1t must be
extremely embarrassing to a chief ex-
ecutive who is trying to do his duty
patriotically and impartially to find
himself the subject of constant spec
ulation as to the prospects of renom-
ination and to read newspapers which
devote columns of space to reviewing
his administration, not for the purpose
of recapitulating what it has achieved
for the American people, but for the
purpose of reciting what it has
achieved in the way of providing cam
pagn material for the president! Mr..
Taft, according TO his friends. is even
now, while he is still dlscharging his
duties to all the people Of the United
States and while much of his term is
IN the future, a candidate for renOm-
nation.
The presidents good taste will impel
him to counsel his indiscreet friends to
refrain from pursuing a course that
will be certain to imperil any chance he
may have of denomination.

CAUSE OF RIOT.

SPECIAL dispatch from Pitts
n burg says 5000 foreign workmen
IA are rioting and have taken pos
session of Schoenville. Lawlessness
and rioting are reprehensible and un-
American. But that is not the point
of the story from Pennsylvania.
Let us ask: How comes 1t that six
thousand FOREIGN workmen are able
to turn a section of the American
steel manufacturing industry upside
down?
The account of the rioting may or
may not be overdrawn, but we know
the dispatch is accurate when it says
the trouble was caused by FOREIGN
workmen. Most of these workmen
cannot talk the language of America,
and have not the slightest, not the re-
motest idea of the nature of the gov
ernment of the United States.
How comes 1t they are employed,
when American workmen could have
been hired?
The answer takes us back to labor
trouble times. When some of the
big strikes were in progress, foreign
workmen from southern Europe were
imported in large numbers into Penn
sylvania to take the place of intelli-
gent Americans. Now, be the merits
of the present dispute what they may,
THIS fact stands out and stares.
Who brought thousands upon thou
sands of ignorant southern Europeans
into the steel country of Pennsylvania,
to eat the bread of American work
ers who were asking a fair wage in
view of the enormous profits which,
they knew, were being made with their
help, not only by the Steel trust but
all the industrial interests Of Penn
sylvania?
THE SELFISH AND UNPATRI-
OTTO POWERS THAT BROUGHT
THE SOUTHERN EUROPEANS
INTO THE STEEL COUNTRY ARE
TO BLAME FOR THE PRESENT
REPORTED REIGN OF TERROR.

TARIFF REFORM VICTORY

4 MOTHER evidence of the fact the
u country has had enough of fake
- tariff reform and intends to brand
with disapproval the recent perform
ances of the schedule manipulators is
given by the remarkable figures from
Monroe county, New York, where James
S. Havens, a Democrat, has been
elected to congress on a TARIFF RE-
FORM PLATFORM. George w
Aldridge. whom he defeated, was an
unusually strong and remarkably
typical opponent, inasmuch as he rep
resented not only reactionary and
standpat tariff policies, but for a score
of years has been the ruler of the
county Republican organization.
The popular desire for GENUINE
TARIFF REFORM swept away every
vestige of Aldridge's pull ana swung
the thirty second congressional district,
which heretofore has been Republican
by about 5000, into the Democratic
column by a majority of 5000. This
extraordinary conversion of a Demo-
cratic minority of upward of 5000 into
a Democratic majority of that figure
is a fitting sequel to the election of
Foss in Massachusetts. The people of
the United States demanded revision
of the tariff that would be a reform
of the tariff that would break the
power of the trusts and put lower
prices on the necessaries Of life.
Instead of tariff revision that would
be reform. the people got a brazen
imposition, a bold and false pretense
of reform framed in the interests of
the trusts and the contributors to
Republican campaign funds.
1t is impossible to fool the people
of the United States. The Republican
machine cannot hope to turn the tide
of Indignation.
Mr.. Havens was elected on a plat
form advocating tariff reform in the
interests of the consumer a revision
OF the duties on wool and wooden
goods, removal of the tax on lum-
Der, q removal of the tariff on iron
ore, an income tax and independence
of political bosses.
The people are speaking. Beyond
rea sonable doubt, the popular majority
vote of the United States today is
Democratic,

The straw ballot will be counted and
the report of the nominating commit
tee made. 1t is probable that two of
the candidates for whom many votes
will be cast are Mrs. Jane M. Beatty
and Miss Packard. Mrs. Beatty was
first vice president of the club prior
to her European trip last year, and as
Mrs j. W. Douthit, now first vice pres
ident, has refused to hold any office
next year, Mrs. Beatty is really a logi-
cal candidate.
Many other changes will be made in
the personnel of the board, and the

TOURIST KICKS NOT WELL

PASEDANA, Cal. April 17.-[Editor
any eastern tourist can find fault with
Southern California, with her snow
capped peaks and hower-coyered val
leys, which are tempered by the ocean
breeze, giving us an equable climate,
where outdoor life can be enjoyed the

Who had but little hair.
He tried some tonics Of renown,
But gave up in despair
OF ever bringing back the crop
That used to thatch his dome,
And said. "I've spent-it's time to stop
Enough to build home
There was a girl in our town
Who had a lovely shape,
And when she tripped with eyes SO brown

But when her spinster bed she sought
Her figure slipped away.
