TALKS IN INDIANA
FOR SEN. BEvER|OGE
Calls On Voters of Hoosier State To
Show Progress by Returning
Beverage To Senate.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, Oct. Is.
Fully 5000 people crowded the
campus of Wabash college TO hear
Col. Roosevelt speak for Senator Bev-
eridge, today. The colonel delivered
his usual tariff commission talk and
called on Indiana to lead the country
in the fight for progress by sending
Beverage back to the senate.
There were some differences he
declared, between Beverage and
crtain Republicans at Washington,
but there was no difference between
Beveridge and the bulk OF the Repub-
lican party throughout the country.
What difference there was was not
lateral. They were not far apart.
Merely Beverage and the rank and
file OF the party had gone too far
ahead, but the others Will catch up.
They are bound in the right direction,
they are a little slow in starting, but
they are all right
The crowd was attentive and
thoughtful but not enthusiastic. AT
ter his speech the colonel rode
through Charlottesville in an automo-
bile and boarded his train for La
fayette.
AS he left the college campus be-
tween two long rows OF Wabash col
lege students, the boys threw their
red and yellow caps In his path shout
ing: Walk on them, walk on them"
The colonel did.
As his automobile waited at the
station for the special train the col
onel held an informal reception
reaching from the auto to shake
hands with hundreds of men. women
and children. Beverage sat beside
him in the machine.

REWARDED

HHE HHRALD'S story of how little
- Kenneth Whipple, lost in the avi-
a alton crowd, identified himself and
brought about speedy and safe restora-
tion to father and mother by his ability
to tell the police his complete name and
correct address, should be in the nature
of an. example to all parents of small
boys and girls. Kenneth is only G years
old but, thanks to the painstaking in
struetion of a careful mother, he was
able to tell the police: Il am Kenneth

or a pet name or nickname used instead
of a first name, and they are ignorant
both of their family name and their
address We congratulate the parents
of Kenneth Clark Whipple on the fact
that they recovered the brave, bright
little fellow safe and sound; and we
congratulate them further on the COM
mon sense and forethought which
caused them to instruct their child as
to his identity and residence.

HOLLYWOOD

" OLLYWOOD consolidation will be
the next big event on the Greater
H Los Angeles program. 1t will
not be as sensational as Aviation week,
but it's effects viii be permanent, and
it will increase the size, the Importance
and the prestige of our city. Holly
wood will bring to Greater Los Angeles
buildings that are down to date, streets
that are well paved. conveniences and
improvements of all kinds that repre-
sent the last word in modern material
civilization.
Included in the metropolitan area,
Hollywood will share the prestige of
Los Angeles, reap the advantage of its
world wide fame, become a beneficiary
of its advertising, and derive profit
from the magnificent program Of har-
Dor improvement, and commercial and
industrial and educational progress
that will make Greater Los Angeles
the undisputed leader of civilization in
the west.
Hollywood enterprising, ambitious,
thrifty, is an exemplar of the Los An
geles way, and Greater Los Angeles,
reinforced by Hollywood, will march
forward to new triumphs and achieve
ments more remarkable than any
which have characterized its glorious
history.

NATIONAL BARD

1T is natural to expect the inevitable
revival and establishment of
Il the first principles of Americanism
viii bring forth singers, some of whom
will be worthy of the theme. One of
the most significant signs of the ma
tional awakening is the appearance of
the advance bard of reform and of the
restitution of the rights of the people.
We quote from one of the poems of
George Howard Gibson:
The state-what is it but the answering
power
Where cry the wronged or where mute want
must cover?
Greed cannot grasp its high and far dominion
Nor reach again fair Freedoms outfung
pinion.
The state is conscience, justice, law un-
broken,
The Ten Commandments-yea, the eleventh
Christ-sposen.
What is wanted, says the poet, and
what is really promised and guarapteed
by the first principles of Americanism.
is the opportunity of work for all.
It's work for all, hence work in reasons
Short hours, vacations, culture, travel, pleas
ure;
Machines and power unlimited to labor
And no one scheming to out-trade his neigh
bor
Creations joy sustained by recreation,
And universal lifelong education.
This was the original American idea
of the state. That our country was es-
tablished without regard to social con-
dittons and merely with regard to po-
litical conditions is an error that is not
any the less foolish because of its popu-
larity. The American government was
founded for the purpose Of enabling
all the people under the star-spangled
banner to enjoy life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.

OPPORTUNITY

A SUBJECT debated by the Why
"a club of the Y. M. c. A. was, RE
"A solved, That it is detrimental to
the nation for young men to seek for
eign fields of enterprise" We presume
the idea was suggested by publication
of the fact many young men are leav-
ing the United States for Canada,
British Columbia, New Zealand and
South Africa, while it is also a fact
there is a not inconsiderable emigra-
tion of young men to the British
islands.
The plain truth is, when a young
man of ambitious, Celtic-Saxon blood
is looking for opportunity he will not
remain in the United States, should
opportunity be denied him here, any
more patiently or tenaciously than his
ancestor remained in England, Ireland
Scotland or Wales.

SAYS MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
is RIGHT PROPERLY RUN

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 16.-[Editor
Herald: If Mr.. Treloar in his letter
means to reflect unfavorably on the
principle of municipal ownership l can
not agree with him. His comparison is
most opposite, but the evidence he ad-
duces only shows that While private
ownership of public utilities may occa-
sionally be run on relatively honest and
reasonable lines, so also, at times, may
municipal ownership be made by
word and reproach through mismanage-
ment by officials of low ideals and pre-
datory instincts or education. l think
that there can be little question that
these tricks of eXtortion such as the
minimum" meter rate and the turn
ing off of water so as to turn it on
again for 81 were learned under the
old privately owned water corporation.
The shame is that such methods should
be retained to the discredit of municipal
ownership, when that principle is in
operation and IN sense on its trial.
Municipal ownership is right when it
is rightly run. VAL STONE.

PLENTY OF UNIMPRoVED LAND
FOR WORKERS TO SETTLE ON

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17.-[Edtor
Herald: 1t is generally understood
that planets, even as human beings,
have their youth, old age and decay.
From visible indications it is certain
our earth is yet in the infancy of its
evolutionary life. And that its present
population, of about one and a half
billions, is but a small family to what
it will be in. the distant future. Yet
pessimistic croakers and calamity
prophets are already feeling timid
lest they will be crowded off the world
for want of room.
But their fears are not founded on
facts, seeing that Alaska and Austria
liza are practically uninhabited. and
these two countries could, probably
when cultivated, support the entire
population of the earth. Alaska to-
day has probably less than 10000 in
habitants, and the immense country of
Australia, nearly as large as North
America, has but 100000 people. But
we need not leave this country for the
want of room, those who have had to
live on the deserts of California, Ari-
zona, Nevada or Wyoming know the
immense tract of land there is wait
ing to be settled.
The fact is there are all too few
people in the world to do the work that
ought to be done. Many of us are
painfully conscious of the crudeness
of this earth and how badly it needs
fixing up in order to make it pleas
ant to live on. Who is going to fix
up the desert places of America, who
is going to irrigate them and turn
them into habitable regions, teemlne
with fruits and flowers? Why the
working man, of course. He produces
everything, not for himself alone, but
for the wealthy classes and an in
Vulnerable horde of go-betweens.
1t is argued there are more workers
than work for them to do, and there
fore too many people in the world
Too many people in the world because
perchance, a private individual Or a
CORPORATION has no employment fol

we all seem to bel Why can we not
form ourselves into cooperative COM
nunities? There is lots of land, we
can produce all we need, and we know
how to do 1t. Let us cease blather-
skiting on street corners, get down of

TARIFF FARCE

CHARLES f. RUSSELL blames
business for the tariff farce,
~ He asks: "Was the tariff re-
duced?" and answers the question as
follows: mot that you could notice it.
Every time a reduction was proposed
and formulated, a mysterious, secret
power stretched forth an invisible hand
and destroyed the proposition over
night. Again and again the thing was
tried in months of fierce fighting. AL
ways the result was exactly the same.
No skill in maneuvering, no courage
of assault was of the least avail. Ma
jorities were nothing, the will of the
leaders was nothing, the expressed de-
termination of the people was less than
nothing. The strongest men battered
and raved in vain. There was
something uncanny about the situation.
BY all reason, all the rules of represen-
tative government and the law of ma
jorities, that tariff ought to have been
reduced, and yet no power was able to
make an impression upon it. The

duced; business wished not to have it
reduced. Against the wishes of busi-
ness, the real ruler, the wish OF the
nation was literally nothing"
There is no doubt the wish of the
people was disregarded and ante
election promises and pledges were
thrown aside with absolute contempt
for conscience. But it was not "busi-
ness" in the sense of the commercial
necessity of the nation that prevented
the Republican mock-revisionists from
doing their duty to the people of the
United States. 1t was the voice OF
Interests" that was listened to, not
the voice of business at large, because
business at large is the concern of the
consumer as well as of the producer
1t was contempt of popular rights and
regard for special claims that made
the Republican "revision" of the tar
iff a byword and a subject of scorn
and derision.
Well, as the old saying has it, you
can fool some of the people all Of
the time and all of the people some OF
the time, but you cannot fool all OF
the people all of the time.

AERIAL ENGINEER

nAULHAN'S feats of sustained fight
have added climax-effect to the
h wonders Of Aviation week. This
intrepid air sailor has demonstrated
repeatedly that the aeroplane type of
overhead ship must not be regarded as
an experiment or mechanical toy, but
as a definite form of mechanical in
vention, with we'll ascertained possi-
bilities on which reliance may be
placed. His cross-country fight to
Monrovia was an instance in point.
An aviator who can announce his des-
tination and make it must not be re-
garded as an acrobat a performer. a
freak or a phenomenon, but as an en-
gineer of the air. The logical sequel
OF the Paulhan Monrovia voyage and
other great flights and feats of Los
Angeles Aviation week viii be the es-
tablishment of the reputation of the
airship as public convenience Of the
highest order of PRACTICAL merit.

AVIATION SUCCESS


G UCCESS of Aviation week is due in
~ great measure to the hard work
of a few individuals, gallant citi-
zens of Los Angeles, men of the type
that made our metropolis famous, far
sighted, sagacious and not afraid to
venture in paths unknown. They are
pioneers, just as surely and as truly
as the foresters and farmers and prairie
breakers of old were pioneers. The
names of Dick Ferris, D. A. Hamburger,
| William Garland and Fred Baker occur
readily when typical instances are
asked for. The success of Aviation
week is traceable to origins directly
! connected with the personal initiative
of these men.
They and all other citizens who have
worked earnestly to produce the mag
nificent results which are being chron-
icled each day in our news columns
are entitled to praise unstinted. Mr..
Ferris work has been marked by sa-
gacity as well as thoroughness. He
has carried out with remarkable eff
cheney in a manner entirely beyond
criticism and deserving only Of praise,
every portion of the task which has
come within range of his directing
energy or the scope of his influence,
his originality, his fertility Of resource,
his power of inception and execution.
Each day at Aviation meet has wit
messed new triumphs, and in each of
these triumphs Mr.. Ferris, Mr.. Ham
burger, Mr.. Garland, Mr. Baker and
the representative American citizens
on the committee have shared. Honor
to whom honor is due. To their ability,
their patriotism, Aviation week at Los
Angeles is already. like the Olympic
games. one of the classics Of outdoor
life, an event of epic Importance.
All of the broad-minded, high-prin-
cipled, far-seeing, experienced and en-
terprising gentlemen connected with
this classic event keenly regret the
tarnish of disgrace hecked across its
otherwise spotless surface by the
liquor-selling scandal, and that odd
and unexpected feature of manage
ment which threatened to impede the
work of newsgatherers and artists en-
gagged in the practice Of their profess
sions. The press was finally well
taken care of, thanks to gentlemen
connected with the meeting who were
actuated not only by desire to help
Woodworking citizens in their arduous
tasks, but by a knowledge of the fact
impairment of the publicity service
would mean impairment of the value
of the meeting.
To all those who aided newspaper
workers should be extended not only
the thanks of the newspapers, but of
the great reading public, which but
for the intervention, common-sense
and help of these broad-minded gen
tlemen would have had crippled in
stead of a graphic, Photographic and
thorough report of the proceedings.
The excellent citizens to whom this
community owes hearty thanks for the
glorious triumph of this memorable
| metropolitan and cosmopolitan meet
ing keenly regret the unnecessary dis
grace of the nquor-selling scandal, an
| utterly eeregious and superfuous ele-
ment, which disgusted and surprised
no citizens more than it disgusted and
surprised those who were responsible
for the better parts of the program,
but were unaware of the Bowery
breadth that was TO be given by one
individual to the Interpretation of the
word "priYileges"
