scarce likely any of the VirRinia
contests will be any closer.
THE present campaign is one des.
tined to show the individual rattle,
than the party points. It is a case
of every man for himself, and the
voters act as judges of the race.
THE taxpayers of Virginia will
vote for Andrew Hawkinson for
mayor and for a continuance of the
progressive policy of the present
city council. And the taxpayers
are still in the majority.
THERE have been no more with
drawals filed during the week, but

Down at Duluth the candidate of
the Duluth News Tribune most

contrary.
VOTE early-and vote right. Vote
for bigger, better Virginia, for a
continuance of the progressive
policy which has enabled the home
owner to make of his home plot
spot of beauty instead of a COW
pasture, the policy which has built
sidewalks and streets and opened
new avenues of trade for the city.
EvELETH prepares to test the abil-
ity of the city to vote more territory
into the corporate limits. A similar
move would not be bad idea in
this city. Virginia ~ virtually com.
PEELED to care to greater or lesser
extent tor several of the adjacent
mining locations which are outside
the present limits, and should have
the additional revenue and valua-
ton to be derived from having these
properties brought within the &C.
credited limits.
ONE of the best arguments in
favor of the reelection of Mayor
Hawkinson is found on a campaign
card of Ex Mayor Eaton, in which
comparison is made of the ex-
penditures Of the respective admin
istrations under the two men as
mayors. There is difference in
the figures, but there is also a diff
ference in the amount of work done,
comparatively, between the two ad
ministratlons. aud the home owner
and tax payer knows which augurs
best for the upbuilding of city.
Our grand-mothers used to wear
and a dime in those
DAYS was bigger than a dollar in
the present age. Likewise Virginia
is city of 1900 or more today
while but two short years ago she
was town of but little more than
half that population; and it costs
more to bring up child that is
practically grown than it does to
care for nurseling.

GENTLEMAN SAYS 'ALL is WELL;
HIS CLAIMS ARE INDICATED

PASADENA, MaEch 11-TEditor
Herald: Day after day I have eager
ly scanned scores of letters in The
Herald, seeking in vain for reply
to my note. A plaintive pipe of pro
test a wave of invective, but no ar
gument worthy of the word.
1 had not the slightest idea of rails
ing such furore when l dictated my
first letter. 1t would seem that the
working class does not like to hear the
plain truth about its condition. They
build Pullman cars and travel in the
day COACH" but they don't want it
known. From whom do they seek to
conceal it? They weave silken fabrics
and wear cheap cotton, but they do
not like to see the facts spread in type.
They work twelve hours in automobile
factories and hang to a strap in a
crowded trolley car on their way to
their homes. but they shrink from
having the fact badly stated. They
prepare the choicest food and eat the
coarsest. They pay the ultimate tax
for the highest educational facilities
yet their children rarely are graduated
from high school. From whom, l say,
do they hope to conceal it? Do they
not realize that those who ride in the
auto and the Pullman are alive to the
situation? Those who have written
me directly-The Herald editor has
forwarded over twenty letters-and
those who have written for publication
either deal in idle abuse or resent the
way | made these facts public. Not
one has admitted the manifest truth
of my statements or sought to show
how conditions should be changed.
Next month shall go back to Rhode
Island There we will hold our annual
directors meeting. l shall present my
letter and Letter Box clippings as vim
dication of my claim that all is we'll
We will vote funds for library, estab-
lish a free bathhouse. furnish photos
of architectural drawings for these
structures to the newspapers (they
will play up" our philanthropy, de-
clare dividend and disperse well con-
tent with the world. I shall go to
Europe, still taking my letters and
clippings, for l have a good joke on
certain heavy-jowled, bewhiskered
French statesman who thinks he
knows much about the American
working class. 4 GENTLEMAN.

RlDlcULES MAD DOG SCARE
AND MUZzLE ORDINANCE

LOS ANGELES, March 2-[Editor
Herald; This mad dog scare is a sense
less thing and the resurrection of that
muzZle ordinance with the right con-
ferred by the council to shoot any dog
on the streets of this city if not muz-
zled. is as foolish and unjustifiable
an act as ever emanated from the city
hall. During the past two weeks in
extended rides on wheel in and
around this city l have never run onto
dog seemingly mad or Viciously in
clined to bite someone, and there is no
spot or place within the city limits
where l fear to walk without a gun,
stick, cane or club to insure protec-
tion from dogs.
So | say to these timid and excited
individuals who are shouting them
selves hoarse over the mad dog delu-
sion to inform me where these savage
and dangerous animals are that l may
face them with my empty hands and
invite them to attack me as test case
in any open street in this ely. Where
do they congregate, where are their
haunts? Without aid 1 cannot find
them and l am looking everywhere
just to see one. 1t is fine piece of
advertising when we are inviting the
whole world to come here to send
broadcast the report that Los Angeles
is full of mad dogs and no one is safe
on our streets. And why is it being
done? Simply because a few doctors
who have gone daft on germs, bacilli
microbes and other bugs revealed by
the microscope alone are in search Of
business and nOtoriety. This whole
business has been revivifed and now
rests principally on the fact that a
boys death that was attended with
mystery not clear to the NJ DIS was
declared to have been caused by rab-
les that resulted from the bite of a
dog. So many deaths have been la
beled by them as "heart failure" where
they did not know the cause that made
the heart stop beating, it is presumed
for novelty they termed this one
rabies, and the way things are going
there will soon be only two fatal dis
and appendicitis. Now,
instead of cutting open dogs head

VALUE OF HUMANITY

T VEN when all mechanical appli-
II ances are installed. railway ira
- vel still depends to a great ex-
tent on the human factor. For that
reason it is of the utmost Importance
that street railways as well as the
main lines should treat their employees
with the greatest possible considera-
tion. When railroad employees ask
for shorter hours of labor, or for more
help to peform certain allotted tasks.
they are asking for personal relief, to
be sure; yet they are also asking for
protection for the public.
The most responsible public or cor
poration servant may become physi-
cally irresponsible at a most untoward
moment IL the strain put on his en-
durance should be too severe. And
mental irresponsibility may exist at
critical times to a far greater extent
than is generally supposed. For In
stance, a man who needs to swing on
and off his car a great many times in
the course of the day and also to
contend with crowds and attend to
the collection of fares and to other
duties may become to some degree
mentally irresponsible; that is to say
even as after a prolonged strain the
sore muscles may refuse to perform
their office, so after a prolonged strain
some part of the brain may refuse to
function. The worst of this untor-
tunate condition is, the victim is alb
solutely unaware of it. 1t is the duty
of all corporations that employ men
who are charged with the duty of pro-
tecting the public from danger to use
every means and precaution possible
to keep these men BRIGHT AND FIT
at all periods of their days work.
With employees up to the highest
grade of efficiency, the danger of any
kind of accident would be reduced
very greatly. The men should have
plenty of sleep, plenty of opportunity
to eat square meals, and should be
kent in the best of physical and men
tai condition.

INJURIOUS TARIFF

WI e have already made some com
wv ment on ]. M. Elliott's report
" as to tariff conditions in their
relation to Mexican and American in
ternational trade. We believe this is
a subject of such importance it will
bear threshing over. Students and
economists are too much in the habit
of dwelling on tariff conditions with
relation to the markets of Europe.
That of course is the Atlantic coast
view of the tariff. It has tinged all
tariff discussions and influenced all
tariff legislation.
In California we have an excellent
opportunity of reforming the Atlantic
point of view. 1t is important it should
be reformed. The tariff excludes Mex
lean, Central and South American
trade in order that certain European
competitors and markets may be
coaxed and others may be coddled, and
still others may be bluffed and re-
PEELED, while inland American consum-
ers are taxed and supertaXed to the
fullest extent-"all their purses will
pear ana wages ~ NOI GO VI
We should give most serious atten-
ton to the reports of reliable business
men of experience and sagacity as to
the conditions produced by the tariff
wall when instead of bulwarhng our
ocean laved shore it sticks up like a
bristling chevaux de frise between us
and a land-neighbor nation.
Mr.. Elliott says: THE chances for
our people to do much business in
---exico are limited materially by the
Mexican tariff upon articles from this
country, which is nearly as prohibitiye
as our own. Tariffs on French, Ger
man and other goods are not SO high as
ours, and for that reason we cannot
compete with other nations for much
of Mexico's business"
Uncle Sam, at the great game of
business, is worsted, licked by other
nations in the Mexican markets, and
all because he insists that Mexico must
not be allowed to infringe on United
States TRUST preroGatives.

SURPRISED

~ OLONEL ROOSEVELT sent a
I characteristic reply to a news
~ paper correspondent who well
was surprised and delighted to meet
the writer in the wilderness. Dee
lighted " Colonel Roosevelt, however,
refused to talk politics. He has been
away from a political atmosphere so
long 1t will take considerable study
and coaching to put him next"
He will be surprised to find the Re-
publican party is not as popular as 1t
was in the days when he was swinging
the big stick and ordering the trusts
to behave themselves or get off the
continent.
He will be surprised to find his con-
servation policies have been so bitterly
resented, a deliberate attempt has been
made to discredit and disgrace officials
who have opposed land thieves. land
pirates, gougers and grabbers.
He viii be surprised by the buoyant
optimism of his friend and whilom
protege, Mr.. Taft, who mistook the
grotesque and unsatisfactory result of
a spurious revision of the tariff for
the "best tariff the United States has
ever had"
He will be surprised that the eco
nomic result of gouging trusts with
their exorbltant prices and gouging
railroads with their exorbitant rates
has been accepted by the long suffer-
ing American people as patiently as
if it We're an act of Providence in
stead of the logical outcome Of pratt
cal policies.
He will be surprised to find most of
the people have practically abandoned
hope of a restoration of American gov
ernmental principles and practices un-
der a system in which the dollar mark
is the sole symbol of value.
He will be surprised to find poverty
and discomfort so greatly increased in
the United States that alarmed mil
lionaires are f1inging sops to Cerberus.
Surprised-but not DEE-LIGHTED!

LOS ANGELES PROGRESS

L OS ANGELES gain in postofice
4 receipts for February 1910 over
n February 1909 amounted to $14,-
s1259 or 15.17 per cent, San Francisco's
gain was 1851 per cent. Los Angeles
receipts for February, 1910, were $l13,-
1872, as compared with $9S2S513 for
1909.
The constant increase of business in
Greater Los Angeles is reflected in the
postoffice figures. With the develop
ment of the harbor and the establish
ment of a federal line Of steamships
Greater Los Angeles will have to re-
cord another tremendous gain in busi-
ness; and the postofiice will announce
new record breaking figures.
Upon the completion of the Panama
canal Greater Los Angeles Will fulfill
its destiny and will become the me-
tropolis of the west. 1t will be the

and it's supremacy will be guarded by
such a wide margin it will be prac-

BOOZE AND BUSINESS

TACTS and figures do not support
Il the statement dull times reign in
II a temperance town. On the con-
trarv. statistics show that without the
interference of the liquor traffic to dis
turb economic conditions, prosperity is
increased.
During two years in which Ocean
side has been without saloons, bank
deposits have been increased by SO per
cent and postoffice receipts by 20 per
cent.
This does not give any support to
the oft-repeated statement temperance
hurts business. On the contrary it
goes TO maintain the contention of ad-
vocates of legal aids to temperance,
that the use of intoxicating liquor is
more or less of a social waste and in
terferes with normal economic condi-
tions. The elimination of this super
nuous factor from the social problem
tends to strengthen the desirable fac
tors and to yield good results.

ZONE OF THE COMMON HERD"
WRITES FOR "LADYs" BENEFIT

INGLEWOOD, March 5.--[Editor
Herald: In reply to correspondent in
Fridays Herald who signs herself "A
Lady" / would like to say that she
has a very wrong impression of the
two words, lady and gentleman.
The words were originated among
the ancient Romans and the people
who called themselves ladies and gem
tlemen were very much like the true
Christians of today. They were truly
gentle, kind and considerate to all of
their fellow creatures and not aristo-
Gratis who thought themselves better
than others who were not so blessed
with wealth and social position as
they.
No real lady or gentleman need wear
a badge to distinguish them from the
common herd. Their conduct will show
to all what they really are.

name to her writings that some of us
would prove ourselves as refined and
in every way as gentle as she

SAYS THE SAME OLD YELL
HAS AGAIN BEEN REVIVED

LOS ANGELES, March 11.-[Edtor
Herald: 1 confess myself disheartened
unspeakably by reading the criticisms
of the letters by A Gentleman 1t
seems to me that SO per cent of your
correspondents fight the air and waste
themselves in Mysteries.
What for example, can be more
hysterical than the cry that the ordi
nary workers should ride in the Pull
mans, feast at the banquets and wear
the silks and satins? For thirty years
past in this country I have heard that
yell, and 1t still re-echoes, meaning
nothing and therefore accomplishing
nothing.
Does not everyone know that in this
world you receive just as much as
you can get, and not one cent more?
Does not everyone know that you get
only what you can pay for? And can
anyone conceive system of society in
