FOR THE ORPHANS

HN HE annual report Of William c.
Jenkins, president of the Chill
4 dren's Home Finding society of
California, published in the Orphans
Cry, the society's periodical contains
the gratifying information that sensa-
tional attacks made during the past
year on the superintendent and former
management have proved ineffective
and that the contributions have not
fallen off or the work of the society in
finding homes for orphans diminished
Certain sensational newspapers spread
the charges of mismanagement, which
were instantly met by a demand on the
part of the president for an investiga-
ton, which was made and showed the
utter falsity of the statements. After
this inquiry by the board Of directors
the secretary of the state board Of
charities was asked to examine the
books and records Of the society, which
he declined to do because of his dis
belief in the good faith of the attacks.
The promptness with which the
charges were met and the complete dis
proof of thereof were gratifying to
every friend Of the work of aiding
orphans, and it is also pleasant to
know that the incident has apparently
operated to the actual benefit of the
society by drawing attention to its
praiseworthy work.

DISPUTES AUTHENTICITY OF
STATEMENTS MADE BY CRITIC

Editor Herald Believing that some
of the statements of Mr.. Val Stone in
this column under the dated letter of
June IL, are essentially untrue, I call
attention to the following extracts of
said letter:
He said concerning Americans"
that they worship the bully, the buc-
cancer, and the rough rider, whether
of the camp or Of commercialism and
finance" Also in substance, that men
who make millions by ruthless" and
cunning" manipulations are 'wor-
shiped' or admired.
l say without fear of contradiction
that no true American admires or wor-
ships a bully, or in any way counten-
ances the greed of the few which brings
poverty and unrest to many.
AS to Rooseveltolatry, L pity the
Englishman, or American (so-called)
whose conception of Roosevelt's
achievements is so small that he would
withhold one of the we'll earned hon
ors from man who looms a stupen-
dous figure in the worlds history of
high achievement and lofty purpose.
AS to a rehearsal of the respective
merits of Englishmen and Americans,
that is beyond the purpose of this let

AMERICAN MILLS IN CHINA
ARE EMPLOYING CHILD LABOR

Editor Herald: In one of the papers
1 read 1 am told that American capital
has established numerous mills in
China and in these mills the worst OF
child labor prevails.
I would like to know how the Ameri-
can manufacturer can compete with
goods manufactured in China in spite
of using child labor here.
In your editorial about the investiga-
tions of the grand jury I find that the
county will make improvements on
the poor farm, so more poor people
can find accommodations, and believe
that is good government idea, but
I suggest that the time will come when
the counties will be- obliged to enlarge
their institutions tenfold.
The more millionaires, the more pau
pers!
But if this situation continues any
longer 1 am sure this country of ours
will see the most horrible conditions if
the exploitation of the workers and the
unemployed problem will not be dealt
with. The capitalist masters will be
held responsible when one of the
bloodiest revolutions will devastate this
noble country. AN OBSERVER.

A WORTHY CHIEF
EXECUTIVE
ktT AM running San Francisco. In

geT AM running San Francisco. I'm
taking no orders from Gillett
or his attorney general. You
can bet your last dollar that the big
fight will be pulled off in my town just
as advertised. I would like to ask the
governor Of California if he thinks he
can step into my town and tell us what
we must do and what we shall not do.
I tell you that we run San Francisco,
and we run it to suit ourselves. We
have policemen to do what we tell
them to do. Bunk! Bunk! Bunk!
Cold feet for somebody. Just watch
me. VIII there be fight? Bet your
life"
The following, gentle reader, is from
the Associated Press report of an in
terview With the Hon. P. H. Mccarthy,
who by the grace of the people of San
Francisco is at the present time at
the head of the city that proudly calls
itself the metropolis of the Pacific
coast, a community variously esti-
mated at from three hundred and fifty
thousand to half million souls.
without this bit of explanation it
might be thought that the above was
quoted from the pronunciamento of
some Bowery tough. However worthy
though it may be of some member of
the toughest class of citizens of other
American cities it is, in point of
fact, an expression from the chief eX-
ecutive of the city of San Francisco,
given during an interview with an
Associated Press correspondent con-
cerning a very important matter, to-
wit: the effort on the part of the gov
ernor of the state of California to pre-
vent the law being violated by the con-
certed action of a number of fight
promoters, sluggers, ct Id omne genus
in the principal city of the Pacific
coast. The good people of San Fran
cisco must be proud Of the fact that IN
order to secure such a chief executive
they turned down at the last election
such men as Mr.. Heney and his asso-
ciates, who had been devoting their
lives for a couple of years in an
apparently hopeless effort to make the
metropolis of the Pacific coast respect
able. That the effort was hopeless
and certainly unsuccessful is abundant
ly shown by the interview above
quoted furnished by the elected head
of the government of that city. We
congratulate the citizens of our sister
city on the character of man that they
have succeeded in placing at the head
of their city government. He no doubt
represents quite fully the character
of the city where special interests, the
public service corporations and all the
sort of people who thrive upon the
moral and civic disgrace of a munich
pality are in full and undisputed
control.

FUTURE FRANCHISES SHOULD

hundred men discharged, and more
to follow. These different corporations
owned these mems jobs. Their owner
ship reverts to the franchise that
created the jobs. The council certainly
did not create these jobs to have the
men lose them by no fault of theirs.
Here is something for the considera-
ton of the council, If not the care of
these discharged men, those to come
after in granting other franchises. 1t
is more important to safeguard the
citizen, although a laborer than to
safeguard the corporation. 1t is a case
of bread and meat with one, case of
more or less dallars with the other. In
the grant of every franchise the job
of the future employe should be con-
sidered, as well as the bond of the
bondholder. That is, petulant corpora
ton managers should not be allowed to
kick dog when the people address
them for a change of lighting rates.

Each language has its own spirit ana
peculiarities of expression, ana they
are so different that one cannot be con-
verted into the other and they can only
be paraphrased. Professor McGillivray,
in an article in the Sewanee Review,
gives some examples of French words
that have beer taken boldly, stripped
of their proper forms and converted
into English, the only effort at ac-
curacy being to preserve to some eX-
tent the original sounds. Thus: Cause
way" is old French causey, highway
and Is equivalent to the modern French
caussee. Runagate was once renegade
zone who Denies" particularly one VINO
denies his faith, an apostate. The pop

and so converted renegade into run

an old dialect word meaning way;
The word "demijohff' is ultimately
from the Persian town name Dema-
ghana, where, it is said, demijohns
were first manufactured. The form
demijohn is entirely senseless, as many
popular etymologies are, and merely
indicates the desperate lengths 10
which the vulgar mind will go In It's
attempt to make the foreign thing ma
tive. Even the "ignoble vulgus' seems
to have found but small satisfaction IN

STUNG!

HN HERE was no excuse whatever for
the great loss inflicted upon the
Il hotels of the state by Governor
Gillett's belated stand on the fight.
In the pursuit of their legitimate busi-
ness the hotels had already spent large
sums preparing for the crowds they
expected to come the first week in
July, and had every right to assume
from the governors attitude would
come. In fact the governor said ex-
plicity that there was no law under
which he could act, and he would not
act Could anything be palmer than
that?
Acting on his word, which ought al
ways to be as good as If the official
seal of the state were affixed, the
hotel men thereupon went ahead with
their advertising and other prepara-
tions, including the booking of great
number of tourists whose trade will
now be totally lost. The governor
refrained from acting because he ex-
pected the municipal authorities to act.
Four weeks ago he said he couldn't
and wouldn't act at all.
The hotel men and other legitimate
California businesses that have lost
money through this political chameleon
have learned to their sorrow that in
interpreting anything he says you
pay your money and take your choice"
While The Herald believes a prize
fight and not a boxing match was
planned for July and that the gov
ernor is right in preventing a viola
ton Of the state law, we hold that in
fairness to all the business interests
involved the governor should have act
ed long ago.
