TAKES ISSUE WITH VIEWS
HELD BY FAITHFUL

Editor Herald: over the signature
of Faithful" there appears in this
mornings Herald a communication
which exhibits markedly the lack of
power to think analytically.
81 say without fear of contradic-
tion that no true American admires or
worships a bully or in any way coun-
tenances the greed of the few which
brings poverty and unrest to many"
Poverty and unrest" have come ito
many" through the operations of Of
ficials chosen to administer the policy
or policies chosen or enacted by rep
resentatives of majority, as expressed
in laws and construed by the eXecu-
tive branch of the government. Now
then, where does Faithful get off?
The conditions exist. That much Is
conceded by Faithful" What then?
"The greed of the few must have
been fostered. "Countenanced," If
Faithful likes that term better. BY
whom? The representatives of the
majority. What will Faithful" say
then? That the majority-by a plur-
ality of over two and half millions
in 1904, for instance, are not or were
not true Americans? Again, in the
same vague way. Faithful speaks of
"Roosevelt's achievements" What?
When? Tell us what you are driving
at, Faithful" and over your true
name, which will give us more conf
dence in your candor.

DECLARES ROOSEVELT is
TRYING FOR PRESIDENCY

Editor Herald: The Herald deserves
to be congratulated on it's fairness and
generosity in admitting all shades of
opinions on all subjects-even to crit
icisms Of it's own course and conduct.
TO the latter we must add our say, and
trust that our nerves will in the future
be respected enough to avoid total
collapse from the numerous and full
some mention of "Our Teddy" There
must have been other changes made
in the office force besides raising the
price. that shows conclusively that The
Herald has joined the Teddy advertis-
ing bureau put in commission when he
left the country to kill monkeys in
Africa. To many who can see through
not darkly-the purpose of all this
bombast over his return, the demon
strations are most disgusting and fa-
lacious.
After spending two months trying
to carry water on both shoulders and
determining what will be necessary to
say in order to please everybody and
not commit himself to anything par
ticular, he will give US a breeze that is
to blow him into the presidency in
1912. A. NJ. WOG.

SUGGESTS WORKING MEN
INVESTIGATE LIGHTING

Editor Herald: A conservative city
administration is endeavoring to regu-
late the lighting companies. Clearing
house representatives have appointed
a committee to make a careful lnVesti-
cation of the lighting problem, Would
1t not be proper to suggest that tne
consumers and workers appoint ike
committee to go farther into the IN
vestigation and report in the interests
of their class? The interests of the
bankers of Los Angeles and the light
ing companies are identical. 1t Is
foregone conclusion that whatever IN
vestigation this clearing house commit
tee makes they will either seek COM
promise with the council, or railing,
supply information favoring the light
Ing companies.
A committee representing the people
the work-a-day people-the people
who are Vitally interested in this ques-
tlon should be appointed. 1t should
be the duty of this cimmitee to go into
all the details affecting the cost Of fur
nishing light. 1t would be their duty
to tell the people how much actual
money has been invested in these COM
panies; how much inflated and watered
stock there is; what are the earnings or
the companies on their actual invest
ments; what are the earnings of the
companies on the present cash Valua-
tion.
Now is the time for the people to eX-
press themselves. Support the referen-
dun calling for a reduction. Let the
working people stand together on this
proposition. We want municipal own
ership. If the companies are unable to
extend their service let them surrender
their franchise and allow the city to
do it. REV. r. w. WILLIAMS.

EDITORIAL DIET

n OWN in Quitman, Miss, our es-
teemed contemporary, Mr.. r. l..
~ Page, jr., the editor of the Quit
man Globe, has brought suit against {.
L. Weir, ct al, for $4,000 damages be-
cent evening, roughly commented upon
the account of a dance that Mr.. Page
had published, clipped the article from
the paper and to his great humiliation
forced him to eat it in their presence.
Naturally we shall watch for the
ruling of the court on this matter, hav-
ing a prospective interest in knowing
how far a committee of citizens may
go in prescribing as a diet stuff that is
only intended for mental pabulum. We
fear for not only ourselves but for
other celebrities if the custom ever
becomes general of forcing down the
editors stomach those products of his
that are distasteful to some of his sub
scribers.

what would happen to the Intervals of

still, fancy Hearst eating some of the
nauseating stuff that he is sending
over about himself just now in his en-
deavor to show he is the greatest liv-
ing American. A little of it might be
a good thing to make it plain to him
his readers suffer from the tommyrot,
but his dearest enemy could not wish
that he be forced to take it all inter
nally.
And Marse Henry Watterson and
some of his hilippics-what wouldn't
they do to his interior machinery!
Still more dreadful is the thought of
Fra Elbertus Hubbard writhing in the
effort to digest some of the things he
has said about the medical fraternity
and sending a frantic C. Q. D. for the
very men he has abused.
Editors who have a suspicion that
they may be visited by delegation of
subscribers and forced to eat what
they have written should see to it that
what they prepare is spicy, palatable
and digestible.

nominate Judge James G.. Mcguire for
congress against Representative Ju-
Illus Kahn, Republican. Judge Mcguire

of the late Henry George and is known
as an eloquent and forceful stump
speaker.
The Democrats of North Dakota ex-
pect to elect Governor John Burke for

the state to great activity.

cities have adopted the commission

of Kansas, Iowa, North and South Da-

cities to adopt the plan.
Senator Scott of West Virginia is re-

tanned AT LAST

~ URELY a change has come over tiIe
spirit of the reactionaries' dream
NJ It is but a few short months since
Speaker Cannon, defiant and sur
rounded by his faithful lteutenants'
stood at bay in the lower house OF con-
gress and even after he had been shorn
of much of his power for evil IN legls-
lation flung back a taunt to the new
majority that they ought to complete
their work by removing him and taxing
over the complete responsibility OF
legislation. A misplaced compassion
for the old man withheld their hand.
On Friday the new majority deter
mined upon another reform in the
house procedure-the correction of a
system that has enabled legislation to
be smothered in committee at the bid
ding Of the speaker through his agents
in the packed committees. This method
is familiar in the California legislature
and many other similar assemblies; in
deed, the usual way to put to death
measures opposed by the ruling ma
chine. The machine sees to it that at
the beginning of the session its control
through the speaker and committees is
made secure.
WE'LL the mere proposal that the
power should be taken from the
speaker thus to choke the life out OF
any bill would, a few weeks ago, have
led to the liveliest sort of fight, the
denunciation of the insurgents and the
success of the movement only over the
dead bodies, so to speak, of the old
guard. But what happened on Friday?
One of the dearest of Cannon's auto
cratic powers was not seized by the in
surgents but actually yielded UP by the
old guard without a struggle. More
than that, the old guard, in the person
of Dalzell, was permitted to lay the
rule before the house and vote its
mower away-an almost pathetic spec
tacle when the great power of Cannon
and his rules committee until very re-
Gently is remembered in connection
with it.
The light is at last breaking in upon
Cannon and his satraps. The victory
is won. and it only remains for the
next elections to make it complete by
retiring. the present sentinels of the
special interests and placing on the
watch towers only those who will
guard the interests of the whole people.
