to his Creator is the most vital ques-
ton before the American people today.
The ultimate emancipation of society
from all evil is dependent on it, as well
as the stability of nations.
And as the kingdom of God is to
be established on this planet in due
time, among mortal men and not in
some unknowable sphere, IL is the part
of wisdom to present truths long hid
den, or at best but imperfectly under
stood, that men who are of the truth
may understand, for it depends upon
what manner of spirit they are Of"
HE that is of God heareth Gods
words"
l do not believe for one moment
that The Herald, the stout, fervent
and true champion of freedom and
righteousness, will at the suggestion of
M. close its columns to the presenta-
ton of these truths, if presented in a
concise and courteous manner.
There are thousands of men and
women today who believe that mar
velous changes are imminent in this
old world of ours. Be this as it may,
it behooves wise men to ponder, and
above all to cease from scoffing.

ATTRIBUTES MANY EVILS
TO CAPITALISTIC SYSTEM

EAGLE ROCK, Feb. 22-[Editor
Herald; The greatest of all states
men, Abraham Lincoln, said that labor
existed prior to, and was deserving of
greater consideration than capital. He
also declared that as a result of the
war the money power had become so
entrenched that if left uncurbed all of
said: my heart trembles for the fu-
ture of my country" I wish to re-
iterate with emphasis that Tabor pro-
duces all wealth; if one man received
much that he does not earn, many
must fail to receive all that they do
earn" and 1 assert that this present
capitalistic system is responsible for,
and the cause of all the evils that
curse civilization today, from child
slavery, white slavery slums, pauper-
ism and crime, down to those litho-
graphic Nightmares, the obnoxious
billboards. This system cannot last;
If the people do not unite at the polls
and right the wrongs we see, we will
drift into repetition of the dark ages,
or worse.
There is only one remedy. and that
is the collective ownership of the
means of production and distribution;
all tools that are collectively used
must be collectively owned; then, and
not till then, will justice be possible
1t is true that mental as well as
manual labor should be rewarded; the
engineer that plans a great undertake
ing is entitled to pay as we'll as the
man who digs the ditch; the editor
who uses his talent in an honest eff
fort to make this world better and
brighter deserves the love and respect
of his fellowmen, as well as liberal
compensation; but the captain of in
dustry who uses and abuses his power
for the sole purpose of increasing his
power, and aggrandizing himself at the
expense of humanity is paid out of all
proportion to his merits. If this "ra-
tiocination" is wrong, men of superior
learning and culture should have no
difficulty in shattering the argument
of a common workingman, without re-
sorting to vague insinuations of an
archy, scurrility, etc; such tactics only
prove the weakness of their position.

CITIZENS DUTY

IT AYoR ALEXANpER'S subject
NJ before the Young Mems Chris
Ava tian association, "The Citizens
Duty to the Public. Official" possessed
many merits, including the merit of
novelty. And is it not surprising that
there should be an element of novelty
in a discussion of the citizens duty
toward the men to whom he has COM
mitted the task oftcaring for his inter-
ests?
Is 1t not fact that much of the mu-
nicipal misgovernnent from which va
rious cities OF the United States have
suffered has been due to the ALOOF-
NESS OF THE CITIZEN? He votes
his men into office, and then goes
about his business; and II anyone
should suggest it would be well If he
paid some attention to public affairs,
in too many cases undoubtedly would
give the sage (2) reply that time is
money, and his is too valuable to be
devoted to meddling with public mat
ters.
It Is certainly thep citizens duty to
take a Keen lIlSIGSIhlAl HIS puDllS
cials, in the men who are looking af-
ter his interests. 1t is his duty to up
hold them, back them, boost them, and
il necessary defend them when it is
obvious they are doing their best. And
should an occasion arise when a citi-
zen possessed of special information,
the result ofiunusuaI special experience,
may use that information for the en-
llghtenment or guidance Of public Off
cials, HE SHOULD DO so.
He should not stand by, in the superb
ority of special experience, waiting to
criticise public officials who have not
had his special experience. 1t is his
duty to come forward and to tell his
public officials all he knows about the
case in point, the matter under delib-
Grafton. When he knows what Is right
he should not remain dumb, but should
tell them what is right, in order that
they may go ahead safely, in way
that will promote the best interests of
the city.

G. o. P. REBELS

N nEPUBLICAN insurgency is being
X extended to the east. The reasons
Nv are given by Ray Stannard Baker,
who by the American Magazine was
sent on a tour of investigation. He
shows how the financial interests of
New England have entered into a
combination with Senator Lodge and
his machine, working in conjunction
with the New Haven railroad, which
has been allowed to absorb the Boston
& Maine and get complete monopoly.
without giving the people any further
power of regulation.
In the last congress, says Mr.. Baker,
the Republican senators and congress-
men were able to get for Massachu-
setts the extreme of tariff favors for
the wealthy manufacturers. Free hides
will help the Massachusetts shoe
makers. A low duty on coal will help
manufacturers in general. No schedule
In the tariff bill is more iniquitous and
unjust than the woolen schedule. Even
President Taft, who has defended the
tariff bill as a whole, not only could
not defend the wooden schedule, but
repeatedly attacked it. When 1t came
UP in the house it was voted against
by Mr.. Mccall. one Of the Republican
congressman from Massachusetts,. AS
a result Of this schedule the people of
the country for some time to come
will be compelled to wear poorer cloth
ing for which they will have to pay
higher prices, and cotton and woolen
manufacturers will grow richer and
richer.
Ex-Governor Guild sees in Republic
can insurgency the eountry's only way
out of difficulties and dangers. He
says that since there cannot be a
square deal" there must be a new
DEAL" adding: II believe in direct
nominations by the people for the
United States senate. / believe the
test of a customs duty should be, not,
is this or that duty demanded?' but,
Is this or that duty NEEDEDY be-
lieve in the removal of all duties such
as those on coal, lumber ETC., which
mean, not protection for American in
dustries, but a premium on the de-
struction of national resources.
II BELIEVE THAT THE DETAILS
OF TARIFF SCHEDULES SHOULD
BE TAKEN OUT OF PARTISAN
POLITICS AND PLACED IN THE
HANDS OF A PERMANENT BOARD
OF DISPASSIONATE EXPERTS"

The price of meat was up so much

Was crusts OF bread, the poor young lad!
There was an old woman who lived in a

She had so many children she didn't know

For food cost so much that they couldn't be

So she fed them on snowballs ana sent them

WOMEN STILL EMPLOYED IN
PRODUCING MEN OF FUTURE

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19.-[Editor
Herald; VIII Edward l.. Hutch
ison spend a few mornings taking
note of the $4,000 children passing in
and out Of the schools in Los Angeles
and then ask if women produce any
thing worth while?
Why get discouraged because times
change-machinery takes place of
handwork-or because some milliners
produce Nightmares or some women go
to cheap shows, not to say prizefights? :?
Plenty of women are still at the good
old business of producing future men
and women, getting them along
through measles and chickenpoX, etc,
etc, in some cases spanking them in
the good old way no machine has i'm
proved upon, so vigorously, it is hoped,
that they will always remember one
woman producer at least Products of
the latter sort generally keep sound
and do not get sour under any con-
ditions. MARY ANN BROWN.

MUNICIPAL LODGING
HOUSE

T OS ANGELES will be a better
Il equipped city when 1t provides
- itself with the municipal lodging
house recommended by E. A. Brown.
c ling to the western drift of popula-
ton, the necessity for a lodging house
of the kind now in successful and be-
nefcent operation in New York be-
comes more and more apparent in Los
Angeles.
The municipal lodging house should
not be regarded as charity, but as
a social necessity. Every means that
may be adopted that will aid in pro-
viding the greatest good for the great
est number, and that will help people to
help themselves, should be advocated
and encouraged.
In our city of progress, enlighten-
ment and Americanism, popular lodg-
ing house that will be of service to our
poor but independent" fellow citizens
should certainly be established.

BELIEVES WORLD is SOON
TO SEE STRANGE CHANGES

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23.-[Editor
Herald: / heartily agree with your
Duarte correspondent M. in today's
Letter Box anent the excellence of The
Herald in every detail, and am ready
to concede that it is a waste of time
and space for men to discuss a re-
ligious subject or any other for that
matter, without exercising due charity
and courtesy for each other.
notwithstanding all that M. has
cited concerning the different sects
and denominations, their wars and
bloodsheds, it, only shows forth the
ignorance of those times, having a
zeal without knowledge. And while
these deeds done in the name Of ''re-
lgion" bring contempt of the truth"
it in nowise abrogates it. / regard the

sation comes from a sense of duty
well performed. She doesn't even get
cigars She literally works for "board
and lodging and clothes" The man
who turns his weeks earnings over to
his wife doesn't ''give her the money
any more than the single man gives his
landlady money when he pays rent or
board bills.
The wife receives the money to ad-
minister it for the benefit of the fam
lily. That the average wife administers
it well is shown by the fact that COM
paratively few men begin to save until
after they are married. This means
that the American woman, signs of
whose "decadence' Mr.. .Hutchison
thinks he has discovered, can make
the income go farther for two and
sometimes for more than the man at
the same work can make it go for one.
No, the Star cannot agree with Mr.
Hutchison that woman's "extrava-
gance" is the "real cause of the pre-
vailing hard times" even though she
does like a birds wing on her hat and
has her opinion in the matter of her
gowns. And, anyhow, man Qf he
be really NAM prefers to see his wife
becomingly dressed.
We may add that today the Star
could not be published but for a wom-
an-the woman whom we have the
honor to call our wife. 1t was she
who gave us courage when we might
have faltered. 1t was she who, when
the doctor said we must die, made us
live. In the darkest hour-which she
ever made bright-we have had a

fore, we say:
Oh, woman. in this world of ours,
What boon can be compared 10 thee?

TIME FOR PEACE

MOST important of all the world
IN movements and most fraught
AFA with future possibilities for the
United States is the new China for
the Chinese" campaign. 1t is the re-
suit Of European aggression in Asia,
on the one hand, and the exclusion of
Chinese from America on the other
(this being taken by the orientals as
the sign of an America for the
Americans" campaign). 1t has led to
the invasion of Thibet by conquer
ing Chinese army, drilled and officered
by Japanese and carrying complete
modern equipment of mountain and
machine guns AND WIRELESS AP-
PARATUS.
1t is not pleasant for the white man
to reflect the menace presented by an
oriental power of great mass com
manded by officers of high intelligence,
deriving it's crowning efficiency from
Caucasian inventiveness and ingenu-
ity along warlike lines.
1t is high time for the great peace
pact; high time white civilization
began to exercise united influence in
ending wars havoc and destruction.
Thus, perhaps, even at the eleventh
hour, may be averted a possible catas-
trophe caused by neo-civilizatlons and
semi -barbaric powers which have bor-
rowed the white mans ideas and the
results Of his inventive ingenuity.
They may borrow his unholy passion
for strife and conquest if he do not
by magnificent international Cau-
casian example, prove to the nations
now emerging from barbarism that
peace. and not war, is the ethical sign
of the highest civilization and the
most advanced progress
