yvyHERE HARTMAN CAME IN

w In his speech Saturday evening
Lorin A. Handley referred to the fact
that Roosevelt had once written a let
ter to the late +. II. Hartman, and said,
with evident contempt You evidently
have heard of Hartman" Californians
have heard of Hartman. When San
Francisco lay in ruins and the ruins
were being consumed by fire, it was
T.. II. Hartman who threw all the
resources of the Southern Pacific rail
road and all his great executive ability
to the relief of the people. When the
water of the Colorado broke into I'M
perial valley, it was the power of f. n.
Hartman and his railroad system
which accomplished the tremendous
task of turning the river back to its
channel. Hartman was a money king
and railway king. The people of
California dc not need industrial mon
archy, but they cannot but admire
man who, being king, wields his power
to the welfare of humanity and E. IL.
Hartman was one of the few industrial
despots whose despotism will be re
corded in history as having vastly more
of good than of evil
Roosevelt as president was not an
anarchist. He recognized the conditions
that existed, and he wrote to Hartman,
as the correspondence shows, that he
wished to confer with him regarding
pending financial legislation. 1t was
right and proper that any citizen, the
industrial magnate with the others,
should be given a hearing when legis-
lation was contemplated that would
affect him. At just about that time
Roosevelt gave audience to those who
were developing this valley and 10
those who were opposing the develop
ment. He was willing and anxious TO
hear all sides of all questions, that
he might guide his own policy for the
good of the nation. And that is good
practice for any president to follow.
Imperial Valley press., 1912-11-04

Some eminent lawyers take sharp is
sue with the plank in the Progressive
platform which stands for the recall of
judicial decisions-others heartily ia
vor it. 1t is not proposed TO try every
lawsuit at the ballot box. and B
may have their differences, and these
will be adjusted, as now, without any
appeal to the people at large. Our
American courts have built up a sys-
TEN, unknown to any other country,
whereby when a Legislature passes a
law they may declare it void. or con-
trary to the principles of the constitu-
ton, or i'll advised and against public
policy. or confiscatory, and so on, and
the list of reasons for declaring a law
invalid is constantly growing. The
courts have recently decided that they
can put a word in a law that was
not there when it was passed, or they
can take a word out of the law, which
was put there by the Legislature, anu
thus change the entire meaning of the
law.
This power to do all these things
has grown until the unshackled liberty
of the courts has become a menace.
When this now extensive power was
first assumed it applied only to the
right to declare unconstitutional any
law which on its face and by its terms
was clearly so. And even this power.
when it was first assumed by the courts,
aroused such popular indignation tha.
in more than one state the judges who
exercised it were promptly retired to
private life.
The constitution says that no man
shall be deprived of his property but
by due process of law. When this
clause was adopted it was supposed t.
mean that no mans property-that is,
his house, his horse or his black slave

A GOOD J0kt,

Lorin A. Handley. who spoke for
the Democrats Saturday night, showed
his appreciation of hum Or by the perpe-
tration of rare joke. He declared that
the tariff which has driven the Medi-
terranean oranges out of America IL
give the market to California is not
a protective tariff. but tariff for
revenue, in accordance with the Dem
ocratic doctrine that protective tariffs
are unconstitutional 1t took some wit
and some audacity to assert that
schedule which prevents imports and
thus abolishes revenue is a tariff for
revenue. But if Mr.. Handley was right
then there is no difference between
a protective tariff and a tariff for
revenue, and the Democratic tariff
plank is an absurdity

Y TOTE THE LEADERS

We, the voters, have been asked to
compare the leaders of the several
parties. 1t is well. Let us note the
fact that in California the most con-
spicuous leaders of the Democratic
party today are the former Republican
bosses, including Pat Calhoun of San
Francisco, Harrison Gray Otis of Los
Angeles, John D. Spreckles of San
Diego, and all the representatives of
boss government. These are the men
who are seeking TO throw enough Re
publican support TO Democratic candi-
dates for the presidency, congress and

IGNORED THE PLATFORM

Mr. Handley Saturday night, speak
ing for the Democrats, made fun of
all political platforms and ignored tnat
of the Democratic platform, intimating
that it is in the class of meaningless
documents. platform, matter
of fact, is the party compass. Some
compasses are defective and point
wrongly. The Democrats admit thai
their compass does point wrongly, ani
would discard all compasses for that
reason. The Progressives assert that
their instrument is correct and they
intend II follow its decree absolutely.

voters can well afford to make the
