AUNT MARY SAYS IT'S QUEER
, WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PAPER

Editor Herald: Isn't it queer the
way things go? You read your paper
and think you know the whole blessed
thing about some one, how he looks
how he acts and what he has DONE
and we're sure he's a man of all
others the best to take high office
and give some one rest but your
neighbor has a paper that tells you
you're wrong that "best man" is a
fraud and not worth a song; to the
dogs we'll be going if we push him
ahead. If he's our choice, we might
as we'll all be dead. We must vote
for another, a wonderful man, hero.
a wise one, who will do all he can to
take us to glory-no, 1 mean to sue
cess. One paper has told something 1t
needs to confess Now, how shall we
know what is true. what Is right and
where shall we go to get really more
light?
Several years ago, when our world
was young, we believed all we heard,
and thought it was wrong to tell
what was not so, but time changes
all things. Now we cannot believe
all the newspaper brings, SO please,
Mr.. Editor. tell how shall we know
who is right who is wrong and what
is not so. AUNT MAhh'

DECLARES CITY GOVERNM EMIT
TRAINS MEN TO DISHONESTY

Editor Herald: I was glad to read in
this mornings Herald OF beginning all
social reforms by securing the rights
of the individual, and it seems to me
that Los Angeles might well take that
saying to heart.
l am an old resident and can clearly
remember the time when we never
thought of taxing the poor man for
the right to make a living. l mean
that our city government did not raise
it's revenues by granting licenses for
the privilege of being Industrious OF
course, know that labor has always
had to pay tribute here. as elsewhere,
to the land monopolist, but we did not
dream of taxing every peanut stand
or flower booth, as Is being done to-
day.
The Herald. I have observed, is pay
ing much attention to the subject of
crime and the increasing number of
criminals. 1t is one Of the great ques-
tions of the day. and justly so, for no
netion can hope to survive when the
spirit of dishonesty has become ram
pant. Now I suggest that not only
is it most dishonest to tax people for
the right to make a living, but also
that poor men thus taxed feel most
bitterly that their city government
has robbed them, and this, in its turn,
prompts them to be dishonest. that
they may get even. Surely this is
very live subject for discussion.

JoHNsoN'S CHOICE

MONG the number to forward con-
n gratulations and promise support
TO the victorious Hiram Johnson
are several prominent machine men,
most notable of them being Governor
Glllett. Mr.. johnson is abundantly
able to look out for himself in this
matter and while we are far from
wanting to hand out any advice we
may say that were we in his place we
should beware of the Greeks bearing
gifts" All the support the machine
can give Mr.. johnson is not worth the
sacrifice of a particle of his hostility
to the railroad machine.
What the people most admired in
Johnson, what won him his great VIC
tory, was his outspoken and courag-
eous hostility to everything that the
Southern Pacific bureau stood for. The
moment he temporizes for the sake of
much of the 10000 majority that
crowned his efforts for reform last
Tuesday. On the other hand, if he
spurns the help of the machine ele-
ment he will earn their malignant op-
position. 1t is the choice of two horns
of an unpleasant dilemma, but no con-
scientious man would hesitate.
Nor should any good politician hes
itate. 1t is the talk of the street that
the S. p. machine purposes to profess
allegiance and practice treachery to
Johnson. This view may be based on
nothing more than the deduction that
the machine has come to hate johnson
and fear his success for the tangible
results that would follow. No one be-
Heves it will support him with any
ardor. All that 1t can do is to pass
the word along to its henchmen to cut
him or vote for him. Would that loss
or gain make up for the loss or gain
on the other side from an alliance with
the S. P?
The idea that johnson will for a
moment seek S. P. support in any form
Is to many preposterous. It would
mean his doom at the polls. 1t may
mean his defeat if he openly flouts it,
but not his doom, for he is still a
young man, and there is always a fu-
ture for men in whom are combined
ability, courage and honesty.
The old political bureau of the S. P.
has not lost its cunning. 1t is con-
ceivable that it is trying to embarrass
Johnson with its pledges of support
which he must accept to his loss of
popular support, or spurn with the loss
of practiced party workers and man.
ayers at the command of the organiza-
tion, which would mean much to a
candidate.
Johnson is probably shrewd enough
to meet the situation as Well as he met
Herrin's attempt to smoke him out on
the question of party allegiance. He is
likely to say to Gillett and others of
the kind: II purpose to make the fight
on the same lines as in the past If
you want to turn in with me and take
your cue from me in damning the S. P.
bureau that has debauched the state,
welcome. If not, begone. I prefer
your open hostility to your sham
friendship"
Would Gillett and other machine
made men like him agree to this?
Well, would they?

THE LIMIT"
above.

VvE E should like to preserve our
w profound respect for the Amer
" lean courts, but really some
occasional occurrences in the form of
rulings from the bench shake our best
impulses in this direction. Two have
taken place of late in the august
courts of Alabama and North Caro-
lima.
In the former state man charged
clerk of the court in writing the word
malice" in the indictment left out the
letter a." In North Carolina an en-
ragged citizen shot a neighbor through
the breast, inhicting wound which
resulted in the latters death and his
own arrest for murder. A short time
later however, he was released from
custody. In the indictment the clerk
had spelled breast "b-r-e-s-t." The
court held that the misspelled indict-
ment was not legal and freed the
prisoner.
If these outbursts of the silly sea-
son were rare and isolated instances
they might be laughed away as such,
but any lawyer will tell you that the
court records of most of the states
contain numerous cases of the kind.
When we are looking for the causes
Of the spread of lynching and other
forms of summary vengeance we will
not err very much If we give due con-
sideration to these and kindred in
stances.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-22


the times? Because the heads Of the
companies are surrounded by syco-
phant employees and by real estate
men begging for faVors and merchants
hunting contracts, they get the idea
that the populace as a whole must
have its back bent to an angle of 40
degrees. 1t is possible that these re-
peated votes mean nothing to them?
Three times now, for example. we
have been asked to vote on a charter
amendment for a longer limit than
twenty-one years for franchises, and
every time it has been overwhelming
ly voted down. Does any one recall
any fight made by the utility corpor-
ations before the people in the last
five or six years that they have won?
Does It never occur to them that there
may be something wrong with a pol
icy that invariably results in defeat2
There is not the slightest doubt that
utility corporations are in for long
struggle with the people here and all
over the country on one great issue,
and possibly on two. The one is the
matter of regulation, and the possible
second is their taking over for public
ownership. Whether the second comes
or not depends largely on the success
of the first, and whether the first is
done kindly and justly and slowly, or
roughly and with prejudice, depends
in a large measure on the stand taken
by the corporations themselves. The
people are just and fair and reason
able, but they are human neverthe-
less. The lighting companies sought
to strike blow at direct legislation,
but they were foiled by counter pc
tition. Are they any the better off for
the ill-feeling they managed to stir
up? The railroads seem to have been
more successful in their thrust at the
referendum, but the episode is not
closed yet, and many voter will put
this down in his memory for future
reference.
To hold that this "outcry against
corporations" comes from anarchists,
socialists and cranks" may be crafty
ing to the feelings of corporation man
ayers, but it does not bring them out
anywhere. Suppose, instead, they pro-
ceed for time on the assumption that
the way to get square deal from the
people is to give the people a square
deal in the beginning. Even then it
may take time after so long a period
of trickery and injustice-but it would
be well worth trying just the same.

Editor Herald: In a city where most

SOCIALISM TO DATE

m IME was when the Socialist was
classed in the popular mind with
the anarchist and Nihilist. Ex-
cent in very ignorant minds he is no
longer looked upon as a menace, but
rather is considered a thoughtful work
er for more idealistic state of human
brotherhood. Some look upon him as
impractical, a dreamer, but few now
distrust his good motives.
What is it he wants to bring about?
Perhaps as good an answer to that as
can be had is the declaration of the
Socialist party in New York, which has
nominated Charles Edward Russell, the
noted publicist, for governor, and Nor
ris Hilquitt, lawyer of ability, for the
supreme court. These general demands
are made:
Public ownership of all means of
transportation, communication and ex-
change.
Provision for proper and sanitary
housing of the poor.
Free feeding of school children.
Free and speedy administration of
Justice
Abolition Of capital punishment
The abrOgation of the power of courts
and judges TO nullify laws on the
ground of unconstitutionality or on any
other ground.
The absolute freedom of press, speech
and assemblage.
The political demands are as follows:
Equal suffrage for all adult men and
women.
Equal pay for equal work to men and
women employed by the state or any of
its subdivisions.
The initiative, referendum, proper
tionaI representation and right of re-
call
Home rule for municipalities.
Election of United states senators by
popular vote.
The extension of inheritance taxes,
graduated in proportion to the amount
Of the bequests and to the nearness of
kin.
A graduated income tax.
The platform makes the following in
dustrial demands:
A workingmen's compensation act
which shall provide for compensation
to all workers injured in the course of
their employment and to the depend
ents Of all workers killed in the course
of their employment. Such compensa-
tion to be equal to the full economic
loss caused by the injury, to be recov-
erable without delay or litigation, and
to be secured by the state
A law for proper safeguards and san
itary regulations in all occupations,
with ample provisions for frequent and
effective inspection of the places Of
employment, machinery and appliances.
State insurance of all workers against
sickness, invalidity and old age,
Public industries for the unemployed.
A gradual shortening of the legal
work-day in keeping with the increased
productiveness Of modern machinery,
and a rest period of at least a day and
Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-22

half in each week for workers in all
industries.
Prohibition of the employment of
children under the age of 16 years.
Prohibition of the use of state militia,
the police force and court injunctions
in labor disputes.
Statutory recognition of the unre-
stricted rights of workers to strike and
boycott and to employ all peaceable
means in furtherance of such struggles
without subjecting the union funds to
liability for damages to the employers.
Two decades ago some of these de-
mands would have been considered
wildly radical and very dangerous. To-
day many are indorsed by majority
of thoughtful Americans. 1t is there
fore evident, If popular opinion is more
sympathetic toward them, that it is not
so much the Socialist as the special and
economic conditions that have changed.
Wise persons have long said that the
world will not accept Socialism until 1t
is in need of it's philosophy and prac-
tice, If the world is nearer to such
need than it was twenty or ten years
ago, ii 1t is embracing Socialism with
out being conscious of it, nothing is
palmer than that the chief forces in
propelling it toward the necessity has
been the extravaganza and ostentation
of our very wealthy people, the lust of
organized capital that has seemed un-
satisfied with less than gluts of gold
and the growing and offensive power of
the aristocracy of wealth.
If Socialism is coming in the world
it will be forced upon the world by
wealth, Just as wealth has made pop
ular with thousands who cannot define
Socialism many of the demands quoted
above,

CLAIMS REPUBLICAN PARTY
HAS LOST PEOPLES RESPECT

Editor Herald: The frantic efforts
now being made by Republican ma
tional leaders with a view to the re-
habilitation of the party in order that
it may present some sort of united
front in the campaign of 1912 are pitt
full to behold to host of dislnterested
onlookers. AS matter of fact the
Republican party, torn wide open by
dissenslons, has degenerated to such
an extent in the past eight years that
it has forfeited in mammoth propor-
tions the respect and confidence of
the American people of all political
creeds.
In retrospect, the Republicans have.
with the exception of the two admin
istrations Of Grover Cleveland, held
the reins of government ever since
the war of the rebellion, and 1t is not
too much to say that their complete
overthrow, state as we'll as national.
would exert a most wholesome and
salutary effect on the country.

ADVISES USING TWO WHOLE
PAGES FOR LETTERS OF PEOPLE

Editor Herald: The announced deci-
sion of The Herald to shut out So
cialism and religion from discussion
reminds me of an answer a man made
to me when I asked What church is
that?" he said That is the church
that is neutral on the subject of poll
tics and religion" The Herald to, me
has only one thing that recommends
it above every other paper in Los
Angeles, and that is its liberal
treatment of it's readers. A poll
tical organ can never hold its readers,
for it can only speak within party
lines. took the Times for many years,
and it was only because of this free
dom from narrowness of spirit that
led me to change. Without detract-
ing from the editorial page, the Let
ter Box has always been the most
attractive feature to me. The large
number of subjects discussed and the
untrammeled manner in which they are
discussed are very refreshing after
reading partisan articles or sectarian
articles II you should instead con-
clude to devote two whole pages 10
the Letter Box you would be wiser
and increase your influence for good.
The sectarian must travel around in
a circle. the partisan must stick to the
truth as he sees it. The very sec
tarians, who find fault with 1t, turn
first to it, and will drop you when they
have made the paper like themselves.
AS to discussing the acts of the city
government, public policy. etc, right
IN its place, but surely 1t is not TN
derdone. The great mass of people
care little for it, and carried to ex-
cess it nauseates. Religion and So
cialism and such live subjects are what
the masses are thinking about, and If
Won shut them out you will dwindle to
the low commonness of your COM
petitors. Widen the scope, rather than
narrow it. M. G. McCASLIN.

State Press Echoes

An "insurgent" victory in California
would wipe out New Orleans only ad-
vantage of being nearer in point OF
miles to the middle west than San
4 rancisco. On the other hand, stand
pat victory in California would stir
up an anti-San Francisco sentiment in
tt, insurgent middle west that would
in all likelihood impel the great ma
jority of it's senators and representa-
tives to cast their votes for New Or
leans when the question of which city
shall be given federal recognition
comes up for final decision.-San Fran
cisco Bulletin.
Very few of such Investigations
amount to anything. For example.
when a Texas senator was charged
with betraying his trust some years
ago, and seemed utterly discredited
in the world, the people of the Lone
Star state-or their legislature-sent
him back after a tedious investigation
to take his place in the state he had
dishonored. That man is today a
mighty force in the counsels of the
nation.-San Jose Mercury.
Tom Watson of Georgia denounces
his opponent as "a burglar, a thief,
a gambler, a drunkard and two-faced
hypocrite' and closes with the dead
ly thrust that he is "a congressman"
Oakland Enquirer.
The three great athletes of the New
York police force, the greatest in
their specialties in the world-Sheri-
dan, Flanagan and McGrath-have
been removed from their positions.
1t has been found that there are a
few other qualities besides athletics
which police officers must have in or
der to be up to date and the right kind
of policemen.-Gra Valley Union.
The president Of Clark university,
in an address at Denver is reported
t have said that religion is some
times a dangerous thing" There is no
cause for alarm in Denver, DOCTOR

Peary's lecture trip proved a fzzle,
while DR.. Cook, the charlatan, made
900 from his tour. This shows
that Cook was the most popular liar
who ever liVed.-Sacramento Bee.

tiled, "a Day Among the Quail at

know that Los Angeles sportsmen
look upon "our game preserves with
