PACKED TROLLEY CARS

Editor Herald: Yesterday 1 took a
Jefferson street car at South Main
and Fifteenth streeth at $3.50 p. m, and
rode to Temple block. 1t was with
great difficulty that I got up from the
steps into the car. At the street cross
ings one or more pushed their way out
and as many crowded in. At no time
was there a vacant seat in the middle
of the car and both ends were packed
and some riding on the steps. If a seat
was vacated several were ready to
fill it. When approaching the place
where I wished to get off I began to
fight my way to the exit but the car
started before I could get there.
called out that I wanted to get off,
others near the motorman repeated the
cal and the car finally stopped much
beyond its stopping place.
At 5;45 I boarded a Brooklyn avenue
car for home, repeating the above ex-
perience; was half way home, far out
on Boyle Heights, before enough had
left the car to enable me to get a
seat. Many of those standing were la
dies; many sitting were strong young
men or below middle age, but only one
in the two rides offered his seat to
a lady. Frequently when riding, hold
ing to a strap some young lady offers
me her seat because of my ago Il am
only 10, but the habits and convictions
of a lifetime spoil the enjoyments of
a seat while ladies are standing.

is always refused Qor the reason above,

the offer.
Is there a country across the water
where cars are allowed to be so crowd
ed? Nay, verify. Yet the car magnates
whine because of taxes and twenty-one
year franchises and will take hundreds,
yes thousands, of dollars from citizens
to induce them to extend a line that
will be a source of income the day the
cars begin to run. In a word, the pub

NOT THEIR KIND

N ONE of those who are trying to
defeat Theodore A. Bell after his
~ long years of sturdy work in
rousing the conscience of California
and solidifying public sentiment
mastery of the state are saying now
that the same Southern Pacific he
has fought favors his candidacy for
governor.
Much must be overlooked, even an
occasional lapse from common sense,
in a political campaign, perhaps, so
let us not waste time fighting wind
mills like this. Let us rather see what
paper that is not supporting Bell
says In an editorial explaining its
attitude the Express Of this city says
of him:
AN HONEST MAN, LOYAL TO
CALIFORNIA AND HIGHLY CA
Fable, HE WOULD MAKE A
BETTER GOVERNOR BY FAR
THAN THE PEOPLE OF THIS
STATE HAVE KNOWN FOR A
GENERATION. In that knowl-
edge we rejoiced that he received
the Democratic nomination and in
that knowledge inc bApIeSs WOulu
have supported his candidacy had
the Southern Pacific railroad again
nominated in the name of the Re-
publican party one of its tools for
governor.
This is a manly and candid tribute,
worthy of great praise, coming as it
does from a Republican paper But If
it is the truth, does it not completely
destroy the effectiveness of any argu-
ment thct Bell is in any sense accept
able to the Southern Pacific?
Is it not rather a good reason for
every Independent voter to make sure
of his ground by helping to put in the
executive chair a man who "would
make a better governor by far than
the people of this state have known
in a generation?
Depend upon it, the corrupt, AFRO
CANT railroad boss doesn't want IAN
honest man" who is loyal to Cali
fornia" and 'highly capable" 1t wants
puppets, and it is not relishing with
any zest the prospect that Theodore
Bell, the pioneer crusader for free
California, may be the next governor.

It seems as if there should be some
stricter regulation of the trade in ex-
plosives. These articles have become
quite as dangerous to the community
as the most deadly poisons, but it

Editor Herald: The many letters

''DIXIE OLIVE OIL" BETTER THAN
THE ORIGINAL.

Because attention was called to the
fact that Norway had packed sixty mil
lion tins of sardines, and because of
the high price of olive oil most of the
fish were preserved in refined cotton
seed oil, it appears that experts of
the treasury department were desig-
mated to taste and decide which sar-
dine came from the olive oil and which
from the cottonseed oil, but the result
showed that their judgment was at
fault, because in some instances they
pronounced fish as being preserved in
the oil of the olive that haaF been TAX
en- from cottonseed oil, and vice versa
The fact is the public is beginning 70
recognize the value of refined cotton
seed oil as substitute for lard, and
to appreciate the fact that it is perfect
ly wholesome and nutritious, hence it
is@ = ginning to drive lard out of kitch-
ems and bake shops. In the old coun-
try, where olive oil is used exclusively
dyspepsia and other stomach troubles
are unknown, and the ablest chemists
agree that cottonseed oil is better for
the human system than animal fats.
In the beginning cottonseed oil was Sc
crude that it fell under the ban of the
authorities charged with the enforce
ment of the food laws, but all this has
been changed. The refining process
makes the oil sweet, clean, wholesome
hence it is fast coming into general
use for cooking purposes because
housewives are beginning to prefer il
to lard which, rightly, perhaps, ou1
Jewish friends have long regarded as
unclean.
The Dixie Olives" as the New Or
leans States puts it, ginned out of one
bale of cotton are valued at about Sic
and have COM Fetal valueto the farm
er who grows cotton as we'll as Of
health-giving value to consumers who
use it for the purposes for which il

LA TOILETTE ON "DEMAGOGUEsy

1t is hard to tell which is the more
virile or most generally interesting
magazines these days, Tom Watsons
or La Folette's. La Follettes probably
hews closer to the line in political
matters, does not turn away from their
discussion to diatribes on the useless
ness of missions, and by reason of the
editors senatorial position occupies a
more unique position in the public eye,
especially in the assaults upon admin
istration actions or certain features of
Republican management of public af-
fairs. La Toilette does not let his pub
lie position interfere in the slightest,
apparently, with his analysis of con-
ditions as they exist, either in his own
or the Democratic party, or in the
country at large. Some of the articles
appearing in his magazine are forceful
contributions to the discussion Of cur
rent questions of moment, and if the
magazine has any extensive circulation
in the middle west it must certainly
prove a veritable thorn in the flesh of
those who are being attacked by the
SO called Prog ressives"
In arecent number La Toilette gives
his views succinctly on the old cry of
"Demagogue," that is so often raised,
and that answers to the time honored
cries of Wolf" and stop thief" to di-
vert attention from the evils attacked
or the misdoings of individuals. Says
he in this connection:
The cheapest, nearest, and handiest
| brick of denunciation that can be
| thrown at an opponent nowadays is
| the word "demagogue." If the argu-
| ments of the man against you are
| strong and pointed, and to answer
! those arguments would take lot OF
hard work, research and study, don't
bother with working so hard to answer
him. Do the easy and fashionable
| thing, that is, denounce him as a self
| seeking demagogue.
Two kinds of men use this word
| "demagogue." First is the lazy, fool
| ish man who has not taken the time
| to work, read and think and find out
whether there are some real argu-
| ments to hurl at the man he is fight
| ing. Second, there is the man who has
| looked in the books and read the pa
| pers and done lot of hard thinking
and found that there are no real argu-
| ments that can be brought up against
| the opposition. Both these men cry
| 'demagogue,' postured meanwhile in
an attitude of alarm, both hands held
| toward the high heavens in dread.
One man there is not included with
in this classification. That is the man
who cries "demagogue'' from habit He
| has heard it and read it so often that
| he feels a certain kind of public utter
ance is inadequate without the warm
| ing breath of the word "demagogue.
Some aspirants for repute as spell
| binders feel a dash of SANDER, strange
| limitations of the hideous and secret
and a kind of dramatic ''thou-art- the
man. touch, in the use of the word
| ''demagogue."
These men are behind the process
| sion. They do not know that this
word 'demagogue" has been called in
1t no longer has any of the stage prop
critics of denunciation. The first re-
quisite of success in politics is to get
the opposition calling you a dema-
| gogue.

THE VERDICT.

John Kendrick Bangs, in Ainslee's.)
Puck, a-sittting on the hill,
Spied two lovers by the rill,
Doing things that lovers do
When their love is fond and true;
Just pressure of the hand,
Flash of eyes-you understand.
CHANGING toward the couple, he
Cried: What fools these mortall
be-"
Late on he spied a pair
Strephon strong and Phyllis fair;
Deep affection in each heart,
Yet their ways ran far apart
He'd no courage for the test,
She deemed GOODNESS for the best.
Puck observed impatiently:
ooh, what fools these mortals BET"
| don't know what can be done
For to please this jerring one.
If we do, or if we don't;
If we will, or if we won't;
Spite of how we play the game,
Still the verdict is the same
Hard to such a fate to bow
Guess we're all fools, anyhow!
