HIGH PRICES
JOGDEN ARMOI'R says thi
trust is not responsible for h'gh
prices and is not making any
money by the current quotations for
foodstuffs. From one point of view
Mr. Armour is correct. The tariff sys
tem is responsible for conditions which
make it possible to hold up the coun
try for higher rates for food while sup
plies In abundance are kept in cold
Morage.
It must be admitted, however, the
beef trust has not been slow to take
advantage of the lovely conditions pro
vided for it by the kindly foresight of j
a trust-paternal government. After j
all the beef-trust magnate* "wear no
wing's for to deceive us." They are out
for PROFITS. When in the course of I
human events it becomes poMlble for
them to control supply and demand of
foodstuffs in such a way price* are '
regulated in a manner that will guar
antee every member of the beef trust
a reward for his labor and ingenuity
it is not likely the beef barons will
neglect their opportunities for benevo
lent autophilanthropy.
POLITICAL PROGRESS
CALIFORNIA WEEKLY agrees
with Los Angeles Herald "we
are on the eve 'if profound
changes in the main currents of politi
cal life. Our cities are becoming non
partisan and our states ami our na
tion will follow in their train. Issues
will divide men so that they will stay
divided and respect each other's party
lines, and nothing else will. Today
progressive Republicans and progres
sive Democrats re much nearer to
gether than progressive Republicans
and the organization members of that
party."
The direct primary system has al
ready had one result not less note
■worthy than all its other lii cements.
It has induced citizen* to tnke a per-
I serial interest in political matters, it
will help bring about a restoration of.
the drat principles of Amerkanimi and
establish this, democratic republic on
the popular foundation on which it
was intended to rest, "broad based
upon a people's will."
PARKS
TT OS ANGELES has a finer system
LfJP public parks than any other
of public parks than a: y oth< r
-" city in the world. In this respect,
as in many others, Greater Los Angeles
is magnificently planned and equipped,
But with the increase of park area
comes increase in cost of upkeep. While
there Is some famous "wild country" in
the parks of Greater Los Angeles, a
neglected area does not constitute a
metropolitan park.
In the smaller parks some economies,
such as those proposed by Judge Silent,
are obvious. Patrolmen and laborers
can watch the parks, and at the same
time make themselves generally use
i ' to the community.
By economizing, funds will bo avail
able for improvements which Judge Si
lent is anxious to have put into effect,
' bo that the parks may be brought up
to the standard of, "the City Beautiful." ,
SOLID THREE
REPORT of the proceedings at the
supervisors' meetings show the
Solid Three are apparently bent
upon running amuck among the moral
Interests. McCabe's defiance of public
opinion is particularly outspoken. In
a devil-may-care manner ho announced
It did not matter to him whether anti
license petitions were signed by every
man, woman and child In his district,
he would vote license if HE saw lit;
would vote th way HE thought best.
In a country of representative gov
ernment, there is a point—generally
concerned with questions of morality—
at which a definite course of action in
accordance with public sentiment be
comes mandatory upon a public offi
cial. In a government by czars, of ty
rants, and for Interest! the people's will
would not be taken into account. But
In a country governed by the people,
for the people and of the people, it is
the duty of a public servant to hold
himself in correct relation to the pub
lic will, and when It Is definitely ex
pressed with reg-,i to any point of
policy, it Is his duty as a public SER
VANT, to obey it in his official action.
If he were a public BOBS, It would
ibe a different matter. An autocrat
Is not responsible to the people. It is
evident the Solid Three hold an incor
rect mental attitude with regard to
themselves, their offices, duties and re
sponsibilities. The sooner this attitude
is corrected, and the accompanying
strabismus which mars the vision of
the Bolld Ones is rectified, the better
it will be for the public, and for the
public's Three Solidified Servants.
IT
CHARLES E. RUSSELL hits tha
nail "right on the head" when,
In reviewing the unprecedented
financial depravity of the most im
moral and progressive of nil the cen
turies, the wicked nineteenth, ho says:
"Take the nun that created this gl«
gantlc Instrument of evil (the Sys
tem), what a study! Hood men, in
their way—not bad—each a perfect ex
pression of a certain system and a cer
tain Ideal; each, no doubt, with a code
and standard of morals to which he be
lieved himself to adhere; each highly
respected, and, according to the sys
tem, respectable; all following out log
ically the tuition of their times; not
much different from other men—no
worse and no better—like other men, the
product of conditions; BROUGHT UP
TO ACCEPT WITHOUT ONE QUES
TION' THE ESSENTIAL MORALITY
OF THE DOLLAR HUNT; trained to
It, eager for It, snuffing it like hounds
on the trail. And then, being en
dowed with the opportunity of wealth,
making of It (in accordance with their
training- and the accepted system) this
misuse for which the next generation
pays such a price."
"The essential MORALITY of the
dollar hunt!" Aye, there's the rub.
Some years ago a group of the
greatest politico-financier*—or finan
cial politicians—in tha United States
sat talking over the affairs of the day.
In their midst wns an caper young
newspaper writer who was bent upon
making a study of American political
conditions and finding out whether
there really was in practice such a
supremely altruistic, benevolent,
WuKLD CONQUERING quality aa the
"Americanism" of which he had read
in the course of his somewhat pro
found studies of American history and
politics.
Suddenly one of the American Titan 1;
turned to a companion, and, slapping
him on the knee, exclaimed, with bois
terous vehemence, "Well, we're all
after IT, and that's what's the mat
ter."
"IT?"
"s**sssssss."

ROOSEVELT'S HONESTY
SOME people are angry at Col.
Roosevelt's Egyptian speech.
Others are disappointed. They
think he ought to have told the natives
to throw the white man out of the Nile
region, even as he has been ejected
(but not "so as you can see it") from
California, New Mexico, Texas, Alas
ka, the Philippine islands and other
places where he has insisted on estab
lishing his trading stations and then
planting stoics and factories and
founding a civilization for all the
world resembling, to the dot let of an i,
the old, original Brummagem,
It's too had about Egypt. Rut we
don't think the white man will lose
that part of his burden for a day or
two, It is too near the Suez canal.
Our American republic has Its own
Egypt; and when the Panama canal
is nearlng completion our Egyptian
problem will become very acute. Mr.
ROOSI - It realizes this. A policy of
expansion with the motto, 'Trade fol
lows the flag," lias been the policy of
the ("niti 1 States for sixty years: anil,
we are persuaded, will be the national
policy for sixty or six hundred more.
Col. Roosevelt is too honest to dodge

HERALD WILL PUBLISH SERIES
OF ARTICLES ON LEGISLATION
LOS ANGELES HERALD takes pleasure in announcing the
publication, beginning at an early date, of a series of ten arti
cles by Franklin Hitchborn, the well known legislative expert,
who prints "each year the "Story of the Session of the California
Legislature."
Last California assembly and senate were about evenly divided
bet ween the machine and anti-incahine forces, with a margin in
each house to the advantage of the anti-machine element. The anti
machine advantage was, however, overcome by the machine ele
ment when, during the first week of the session, the machine was
left to organize the legislature. Consequently the machine was able
to block the passage of many good measures. Much of the work
of the next legislature, if the anti-machine element be in control,
will be to complete this unfinished work of the last session.
In order that the public may get a good grasp of the situation
The Herald, by arrangement with -Mr. Hitchborn, will publish his
articles upon the following subjects: (1) "The Railroad Regulation
Legislation;" (2) "Proposed Amendments to the State Constitu
tion Which Deal with Railroad Regulation;" (3) "The Direct Pri
mary Law;" (4) The Selection of United States Senators by Popu
lar Vote;" (s) "The Simplification of the Criminal Statutes;" (6)
•Reform of the Election Laws;" (7) "The Local Option Bill;" (8)
"Amendment of the (iame Laws;" (9-) "The Initiative Amendment;"

ment Will Labor to Undo." I
