CoMMENps OPEN FORUM

Editor Herald: I am delighted with
the editorial in the Sunday morning
edition entitled Edited by the Peo-
pie" The stand you have taken in
supplying the people an open forum
in the Public Letter Box is highly
commendable. 1t is indeed refreshing
in these days of cant and hypocrisy
plutocracy and mammonism TO have
one large daily newspaper in the An
gel City run for the people and not for
the plunderers and grafters of the pub
lie veal The one great fact that tran
scends all others in it's supreme power
for good is the dissemination of knowl-
edge throughout the length and breadth
of the race. And the people the world
over are looking to a free and untram-
rneled press for this knowledge.
The democracy of the truth is all
powerful in the domain of the soul that
is in revolt And where are the think
ing souls that are not in revolt? NOT
many, certainly can be found in Call
fornia.
Therefore it is with much satisfac-
tion that 1 express my appreciation TO
the liberal Los Angeles Herald. And
In the near future l shall avail myself
of your liberal offer and express some
of the thoughts that are uppermost IN
my mind. FREMONT POWbnS'

sEGREoATINe THE SEXES

Editor Herald: How badly people
must want prohibition in this city
nowadays In regard to segregating
the sexes in Central park, 1 submit the
following to Secretary Herbert of our
local park commissions
Why not compel wives to wear their
hair a certain way when with hubby or
other male relatives, another way when
with a male friend or alone; have a
special style of hair dressing for wild
ows and another for maidens. Let the
men be tagged with badges. On one
we'll put 81. A. b." meaning "I'm a.
bacheior'' on another Il. w. NJ. W."
or "I'm with my Wife; and still an
other might be II. A. W." or I'm a
widower."
or still again, let every man and
wife get their pictures "took' with a
special license from the police or park
commission, and every man or woman
caught sitting with any other of the
opposite sex than the lawful marital
partner, fine him or her dollar a min
ute, by heck! Fine more II without
badges; and a pretty female more than
an ugly one,
be numbered, convict style, and ''W262'
would mean "wife 262," and signify
she belonged to "H262." or husband
262." while the widows and widoWers,
maidens and single men might go un-
numbered simply have the letter w
for widow or widower, IN" for maiden
and "B" for bachelor.
OR. If card index system seems too
cumbersome, hire a special public tat
tooer who will letter us according to
character. I'm willing to be branded
"B' for the public good.
These are only few suggestions,
Mr. park Commissioner, of a great
number that might be given.

COMMENT ON rAFr's ACTIONS

Editor Herald: In promoting Asso-
ciate Justice White to the exalted po-
sition of chief justice of the supreme
court of the United States, President
Taft has administered a we'll merited
rebuke to the Socialist party, as they
are bitterly opposed to the Catholic
church, though it is the best friend of
the working man. Before the election
of Taft the Socialist paper, the Appeal
to Reason, devoted an entire edition To
abuse of him for his course in the
Philippine islands, but of course could
not defeat him. and all he had done
there was to stand up for the rights of
the church and see that it had justice
All honor to Justice White and Presi-
dent Taft! THOS. O'GRADI.

WITH THE PLAYERS

Nine. Sarah Bernhardt, in New YORK
last night. gave the first American
performance of LA Beffa," an Italian
drama In four acts by Sam Benelh'
translated into French verse by Jean
Richepin, and which was originally
produced in Nine Bernhardts own
theater in Paris last March. The scene
In illumination of the title it is ex-
planned that 'la beffa" was praoti-
cal joke or dirty trick" which the
victim had tho right to remember and
revenge The perpetration of such
jokes was favorite pastlme in Flor
ence during the period depicted by
the drama. In Paris La Beffa' was n
triumph, and brilliant New York au-
dience last night applauded Nine. Bern
hardt and her supporting players lib
orally.
Ruth ST. Denis is again dancing in
New York, this time the dances of
Egypt, which are given in three parts
under the titles Prayer to the Nile
Gods" 1.-The Tamboura" and "The
Mystery of Isis" A large dancing cho-
rus appears in her support.

OBJECTS TO NEW PARK RULE

Editor Herald: So now we can ac-
count for the paucity Of seats in Cen
tral park. 1t is from a laudable but
misguided desire on the part of the
park commission to prevent the good
citizens of our city from inflicting upon
themselves bodily harm by jaw-break-
ing and rib-squeezing.
It is too late, gentlemen The COM
mission should have been in the only
original park-or garden-and have
suuelched the thing at the beginning.
You cannot dam a river at its mouth.
Try something easy, judge. *.

A HEARTY LAUGH
Being the days best joks from the news
exchanges.

A St. Louis prelate is credited with
this story, told by him at a recent
dinner:
The head of one of the big trusts
arrived at the gate of heaven, and, as
usual, found st. Peter on watch there.
Rather pompously the trust magnate
said:
pardon, is this heaven?"
TT is," said st. Peter, step right
into the elevator"
After waiting for what seemed a long
time the trust president said:
''I beg your pardon, but when does
this elevator go up?'
"It doesn't go up" said the saint.

The amount of telegraphc matter that is COM
ing out of Washington to prove how prosperous is
the nation is gratifying-to the telegraph com
panies. But it somehow fails to convince that
Washington is in any measure responsible for the
prosperity. Tables of statistics cannot produce
prosperity, and that and the tariff wall is the chief
Washington output at present. Crop reports CEN
ter at Washington, it is true, but even these don't
make prosperity. AS for the bumper crops them
selves, which alone are responsible for the con-
hdently prosperous tone of the nation, these are
raised in other localities than Washington, d. Z.

Import duties are special privileges. Wages
are regulated by the number of men seeking en-
ploynent and the number of men seeking employ
ment rests upon the accessibility of free soil to
the centers of population. Tariff has no more re-
lation to wages than the flowers that bloom in the
spring When the producers and consumers Of
the land finally discover these elemental truths,
the tariff will drop fast enough And it isn't like
Iy to drop very much until they do.

KEEP THE MATTRESS CLEAN
1t Not Only Marks the Good House
keeper but is Essential to
Good Health.

An immaculate mattress is more
than the sign of a good housewife. 1t
is essential to good health. Even a
clean sheet will not keep a sensitive
person from shrinking if the mattress
looks queer.
There need be little excuse for any
dust If care be taken. Every mattress
should have a twilled muslin cover
that buttons on, SO that it can be
frequently washed.
If a mattress is for a big double
bed 1t should be In two parts for cas-
Ter turning The extra-careful house
wife pulls the mattress up over the
foot5oard each morning, SO that 1t airs
on all sides. 1t should at least be
turned once day, not always in the
lame direction. This prevents the
ugly ridge when two are sleeping in
the bed
Rubber sheeting should be used un-
der the linen in cases of sickness. In
an emergency folded newspapers are q
good substitute.
The easiest way to clean mattress
is by the vacuum cleaner. If 1t must
be done at home. put 1t in a slightly
dampened sheet and beat with a wick
er carpet beater until all the dirt
seems to be out; then take a new
sheet, turn the mattress and repeat.
If mattress seems to have be-
come knobby or ridged It may have to
BE done over, The hair Is freshened
and steamed and new ticking pro
eided. This can be done for from 81
to So for double mattress.

Crop Outlook Is Good.

Despite the long drought, broken by
light rains, for the most part good
average crops will be yielded in most
parts of Wisconsin, according to Prof
R. A. Moore of the college Of agricul-
ture One exception to this general
condition is the extreme northwest
ern part of the state, where grains are
short
In the southern and eastern coun-
ties. and as far to the north as
Outagamie, such crops as oats and
wheat look exceedingly fine. Most OF
these crops have been or are now
being harvested, and early oats will
be harvested this week.
Corn will suffer immensely II
rain does not come soon, said
Professor Moore. Yet it is not SO
badly affected by the drought as one
would suppose. 1t is on the sandy soils
that it has suffered the most. Small
grains on clay soil are turning out all
right e@- -,-.>.
The drought has injured the tobac-
CO very much. The paintings have
dried down and the recent rains were
not heavy enough to do much good.
Pastures, most of which were parched
and brown, will readily improve.
