HERRIN ANSWERED

! nN HE HERALD has recently COM
mented upon an address made
Il before the graduating class of an
Oregon school by William F. Herrin'
head of the Southern Pacific railroad s
political department, and, by the same
token, head of the commonwealth OF
California, because that department
passed upon all aspirants for state Of
flee. In that address Mr.. Herrin be-
walled the present unrest throughout
the land. He feared for the stability
of our institutions if the unthinking
mob were going TO insist on paricipat-
ing in the nomination and election OF
officials in their own way.
In we'll chosen phrases he said that
the people "do not know; in the limi-
tations of their knowledge they cannot
know" what a serious thing they are
doing in upsetting the established Or
der of things by means Of such agen-
cies as the direct primary and the di-
rect election of senators. Mr.. derrin' S
plaint was answered in an address
the other day at San Francisco by
Judge John F. Davis, who does not
view with alarm the things that Mr.
Herrin deplores. Among other things
he said:
The tendency to tinker with con-
stitutions and charters, the drift to-
ward pure democracy, if you VIII,
has not arisen out of mere intel
lectual restlessness or academic
thirst for novelty. 1t has been ere
ated and sustained by the growth OF
abuses which have trampled upon
the peoples most sacred rights by
making a mockery of the very
guarantees under which these
abuses were permitted. For instance,
what American ever took an inter-
est in the direct primary until the
corruption of conventions ana the
bribery and pollution of legislatures
became a demonstrated fact? And
when this country became conscious
that corporate greed was reaching
for an advantage through the ma
chinery of political conventions and
the convention methods. then, and
not till then, did it act. And not
rashly was the change accom-
plished, but gradually, state after
state, after a campaign of educa-
tion. not as the result of public
clamor, but as the result of tine
deliberate and reasoned judgment
of the community
| 1t is possible that long years OF con-
| troll have actually so formed the char
acter of Herrin that he is sincere in
his bourbonism; that he really regards
the masses as unfit to direct their af-
fairs, and that he justifies the corrup-
ton of our legislature and courts as
necessary means to an end he thinks
| is benevolent, even though very prof
liable to the company he so ably
serves. But if so, not even such as he
should fail to find food for reflection
in these words of Judge Davis.
The attitude of the people in these
latter days is not the attitude of a
mob but of men as well fitted as Mr..
Hartman, Judge Lovett or MIR. Herrin
to weigh the public evils. They may
lack the experience of Mr.. Herrin in
finding the most direct way to a given
noint. but the leaders are appearing
as the need for them arises, and when
the remedies are applied they will not
! imperil the stability of our worthy in
stitutions. But they may impertl the
stability of Mr.. Herrin as an estab-
Hshed institution in our government.

Fresh air Is of as mucn Importance
TO the baby as food. There is too
much fear about 1t catching cold
baby who Is kept in a room with hot
air Is far more likely to catch cold
when 1t is taken out of doors than one
accustomed to being in a room with
fresh, cool air. The nursery should be
thoroughly ventilated at least twice
day. This can easily be done while
the child Is being taken out in the
street or into another room. Night
air is fresh air and should be admit
ted to the nursery. Children deprived
or fresh air at night are more sensi-
tive tive to "sniifies" than others a WIZ.
Is not too cold, the window furthest
from the baby's bed. may be left open
and screen placed to avoid draughts

the band then slips into place without turning
the child. Skirts and dress are laid together
and slipped over the legs at the same time.
After the sleeves gently worked over the
arms the baby Is turned on the right side and
the skirts and dress are closed.
baby's clothes should be made very loosely.
Inc undertaking should always be made OF
wool. over the wooden skirt and other gar.
ments there should be wooden underskirt and
over that a dimity slip.
Fresh air should be admitted to the nursery
at all times.
Let the baby cry. 1t is good for its lungs.
There are three kinds Of cries which can be
distinguished by one who has had experience
the pain cry. the hungry cry and the healthy
cry. Whatever old fashioned nurses may say.
most of every healthy baby's crying Is healthy
crying. 1t is the only way it has Of exercising
ITS lungs. II 1t does not cry. look out for
trouble.
When baby Is washed the water should be
neither hot nor cold. 1t should be OF the same
temperature the body. Hot water hurts the
skin; cold Injuries the nervous system.
Use a soft rag and soft soap. Even the
softest soap sometimes contains injurious acids.
Be sure to wash the baby at least once a day.
Oftener is not necessary In most cases.
Test the water to be used in It's bath with q
thermometer. II you have none, get one. II
the need Is immediate and the thermometer
lost, test the water by dipping the elbow into
it. Do not use the finger the elbow is more
sensitive.
The baby should be weighed at regular In
tervals Nothing else tells so accurately
whether or not he Is thriving. For the first
year the baby should be weighed each week.
During the second year every two or three
weeks will be enough The best time to weigh
is when 1t is undressed, just before its bath.
In selecting toys for the baby those made OF
Ivory or hard rubber are to be preferred. Sc
lect the best quality of hard rubber and avoid
those whose colors rub off. Avoid all woody
dogs" and woody lambs" as the baby is sure
to get some of the fluff in It's mouth, which
will cause gastric disturbance Wooden blocks
that can be washed. not those covered with
paper, should be given to it.
For very young baby the temperature OF
the bathroom should be between 9S and 100
degrees. AS it grows older lower the tempera.
ture When the baby is year old, the tenn.
perature is between IS and 90 degrees
IL 1t Is necessary to shorten the nails, they
should be cut not bitten off. The hair should
be brushed with soft camel's hair brush.
For exercise place the baby on the bed,
loosen the skirts and let it kick for fifteen or
twenty minutes. Turn it on its stomach and
let it kick in this position twice day.
Do not put baby on its feet. When 1t can
pull itself on its feet by it's own effort, 1t Will
be time enough to encourage it to stand and
walk The baby should never be encouraged
to walk; it will walk of its own accord when
muscles and bones strong enough to sup
port the body.
Do not let strangers kiss It, nor many others.

child is held firmly in the crook of one arm,
leaving the other free. The baby's back should
never be left without support when it is sit

spine like a chair back
A baby should not be treated like q toy;
neither should 1t be jumped up and down upon
the knee. Remember it is delicate mechanism
you are handling.
Be very careful about touching the soft
spot" or fontanel, on the top of the head. Its
brain may be injured and the child hampered
for life
The proper position for baby to lie in is on
it's stomach 1t should always be dressed
while lying on its back a soft bed or pillow.
Very little no turning is necessary. The
