TEACHERS
LOS ANGELKS City Teachers' . tub
election was held yesterday.
There is an increasing spirit of
class consciousness among teachers.
It is high time! Modern civilization
has heaped great rewards on ils spoil
era, but has been strangely reluctant
to admit the extent of its indebtedness
to its trainers. We hear, "fj .So and
Bo seta a huge salary, it is true, Ijut
think of his responsibility, ilis Insti
tution takes care of millions." Is not
the responsibility of the man-trainer
at lea.st equally groat? Why this
strange mental confusion, which
causes many good i eople to refuse to
acknowledge the wage value of their
fellow human beings, unless that wnge
value can be based upon a demonstra
tion worked out in dollars and cents?

GAMBLING
NEED for legislation rostHctinK
stock gambling Is one of the cry
ing necessities of the dny. Why
should legitimate business antarprttM,
banks, railroads and Industrial corpora
tions generally be subjected to legisla
tive control, while the institution which
more than nil others exercises a dls
turblnp influence on industry Is allowed
to remain exempt from stHte legislation
and be a law unto itself?
As lonp as stock gambling is toler
ated or encouraged In the United States,
the cruder forms of gambling wblO
are being- suppressed have some rea
son for protesting _gain_t the discrimi
nation which is exercised against them.
Gambling is gambling:. There ara no
degrees of demerit in gambling trans
actions. One is ai bad m another,
even though the amount Involved in
one transiiition may not be as great as
the amount involved in another.
To say gambling on the results of a
horse race, etc.. Is Immoral, while
gambling on the results of fluctuations
of v.-ilue is moral, displays Inconsis
tency amounting to absurdity. The
day U coming when gambling will not
be allowed to ina_g.uerade under spe
cious nunies and cloak its iniquity with
paeudo-commercialism.
POLICE BRUTALITY
THE people of Los Angeles hope
there will be a grand Jury Inves
tigation of the rase of Charles
Williams, who was injured seriously
several months ago while a prisoner
in the rlty jail. Nothing less than a
full, complete, exhaustive inquiry will
be satisfactory, it is believed the
present chief of police will not sane
tlon any beating or abuse of prlsomn, j
and that his help In finding out every
asci rtalnabls fact in regard to tv«
brutal assault upon Williams may be
relied upon confidently.
The alleged assault, from the effects
of which Williams is suffering and In
deed is said t<> be slowly dying, was
committed last December.
Police brutality to prisoners Is pe
culiarly un-Amerl'-an, because it la
exceptionally cowardly, in apite of
mstrance and warning, not s week
s without some new instance of
the injury or death of a prisoner
somewhere In the United States. The
police of this country apparently can
not riii themselves of s delusion they
are Invested with judiciary powers und
can discipline as well as arrest
pacts and accused persons. There Is
only one way in which thie delusion
may be cured, and tii.it is by punt
■ thugs us any other thugs would
be punished. Have them indicted,
send them to prison nnd dismiss them
In disgrace from the force.
It Is a notorious fact policemen have
frequently taken the law Into their
own hands In dealing with prisoners.
In some Instances men have been es
pecially detailed to the "pleasant"
task of beating; up prisoners after said
prisoners were placed in jail. This fact
has been apparent In cases In
prisoners have been refractory while
under arrest, when a prisoner Injures
s p illceman who is capturing him the
entire force seems to make common
I nnd clannish cause In wreaking venge
ance on the Insubordinate or resentful
prisoner. It might be po inno
cent man who was being deprived of
his freedom and submitted to the indig
nity of public arrest might fl^ht for his
•y, and between the time of his
arrest and his trial he might be bi
ti, death. We do not say an instance
of this kind has taken place. We do
say that, under present cond
when the man with the club has license
to batter his unarmed and defi i
fellow citizen under arrest, it might
in' possible.
We hope the grand jury will probe
the Williams case thoroughly, and
trial, conviction and punishment of
those responsible for the crime or ag
,t, in- assault with In
tent to cripple or kill, "in clear the
skii-ta of Los Angeles from any com
pll ity in what aj pears to be a pe
culiarly dastardly. Infamous and cow-
Ij instance of police brutality.
SOCIAL SENSE
A CONTEMPORARY in a somewhat
jeemslcal article says the Ameri
can minister's mansion in Lisbon
will draw round it "the b >*1 which
exists there In the highest social
sense."
tWhat is the "highest social n-nse"?
Is it proper for anyone to talk of
the existence of a "social sense" in
free America?
VVe know there are many people
who believe there is an "upper crust"
to th" American pie. There are some
who think there are social strata.
The candid truth is, there are no
social strata in the United Status.
There are, however, financial strata, j
or strata (if we must perforce talk of
our well beloved country as if it were
a layer cake) which represent "influ
ence' 1 and "pull."
The increasing spirit of Americanism
will teach our people, no matter to
which .stratum they may Imaglna they
are socio-geologlcally assignable, that |
neither plutocracy nor aristocracy lias
any part In the American republic )
i that the Influences of plutocracy and
aristocracy are antagonistic to the in
terests of democracy, and are a menace
to a republic founded upon democratic
Institutions.
Wo rejoice the American republic is
to have such an estimable iad in every
way worthy representative in Portugal
as our very highly esteemed and dis
tinguished fellow citizen. At the same
time, we hope our government will
tnke measures which will make it pos
sible for pour men, as well as for
wealthy, to serve the United States at
the great diplomatic posts.
indeed, rather than lose the good
, old American idea of a foreign repre
sentation manned by citizens whose
heads are filled with American brains
and whose, hearts are warm with
American enthusiasm, even though
their pockets be empty, we would ad
vocate that our government double the
foreign service, and appoint ambas
sadors or ministers to the various
PEOPLES and SOCIAL ENVOYS to
tho various COURTS.

of giving our metropolis a union de

The Truant
Believes President Taft Rattled
and Making III Advised Speeches
A T o test of a man is complete until
\ Known how he acts when lie
-L lls rattled, Whe* Roosevelt was
president and Taft was the handy man
of the administration, the latter
achieved a great reputation for diplo
macy and for saving and doing just
the right thins- at tiie critical moment.
Tin if Is, however, :i vast gulf between
something that tells
you to do —doing it well, too- and de
ciding yourself what is to be done.
i Admiral Dewey cams out with
the announcement that he. desired to
run for president he remarked with ex
quisite naivete that he did not think
it a very difficult job to nil. If Mr.
Taft took the office with any ideas of
■ lit, il is safe t« say he l:a.s long
since given them up He started
wrong, and kept on going wrong, and
when the Inevitable consequences be
gan to i oil, home to him thick and
fast, he proceeded to art rattled and
has remained rattled ever since; and
the : ire that he will not re

\ | . dltlon of rattle.
consider his talk In Chicago before the
Newspaper club on Bt Patrick's day.
n is hard to believe that the famous
diplomat "f the Philippines, the shrewd
adjuster of Cuban difficulties and the
lust umpire of Panama, could, in the
short space of a year, bring up in ■
condition of mind that causes him to
begin his talk with such language as
this:
"I value the opportunity to speak to
th" men who work on the Chicago
papers and are not responsible for
their editorials, I could not believe
knowing tha editorials, that this was
a representative newspaper crowd, be
cause i have seen so many apochry
lents, so many unsound ar- 1
guments and unjust conclusions thai
they must come from some other
■ ih,m this Intelligent audience."
The statesman or politician who starts
.nit to abuse newspapers or newspaper
men Indlsi rlmlnately, never gets very
tar. He may single out one partic
ular paper, if he wishes, and vbent his
wrath upon that, but to heave a lot
of rocks miscellaneously Into a crowd
Is the worst possible Judgment. The
Asboi lated Press is about as free from
and from the small revenues of
journalism as anyody In the business,
..il thai mild organisation was
ruffled at this kind of talk and it pro
, , eded t hen and there to play the
c ruelest trick that can be played on a
man of the president's high standing
v reported hli remarks exactly as he
uttered them. The next sentence but
one, alter tho 111-natured remark, is
given to the public as follows:
"The difficulty that I find Is that I
have to read them (the newspa
pers) and afttr a time of sensltlve

Absurdity of Protection Theory Is
Shown by Record of Wool Output
DOES "protection" upset the natural
laws of trade, create new wealth
and fatten up Infant industries
till they can stand on their own feet
rather than those of all the taxpayer*?
Let us glance for a moment at the
Now England sheep Industry, as illum
inated by the following table compar
ing the number of sheep in that section
In 189] with 1909:
1881, 1909.

No American product has been so
bountifully and gloriously protected as
wool. "Wool," exclaimed Senator Aid
rich, in awesome tones, during the
tarllf sessions, "is the very citadel of
protection." The statement was quite
true. Much of the worst jobbery and
most barefaced greed that nave stained
our national tariff history have been
displayed in behalf of this product.
Upon it protection has lavished its
kindest, and duties have piled on duties
on the theory that taxation upon the
clothes of us all would finally force a
d'aHflc Outlook*
and criticism, grows stronger, and
when a newspaper ultimately learns
that after all If We can only survive
tWO or three days of attack and as
sault and unfounded statements most
people will forget it."
Now, under ordinary conditions that
tangle would have been combed out by
1 he reporter and put Into some kind of
decent English and good sense. We
miss our guess if that was not cold
bloodedly left in all Its rawness ..» an
answer to the president's 111-timed and
unjust criticisms.
It appears that the famous Taft smile '
at times becomes a sneer. Listen to
this: "I don't know whether you num
ber among your members only news
paper men, but men who combine the
profession of the press with statesman,
ship; whether you have among you
men who are reformers down to the
ground and at the same time are en
gaged In handing out their views and
news suited to their views as states
men-correspondents."
This Is evidently a fling at the Wash
ington correspondents of the leading
newspapers of the. country. The rou
tine news of the capital is sent out
by the Associated Press and other
agencies. The, correspondents are se
lected for their capacity m writers-and
their ability to draw conclusions as
well as narrate facts. The president
calls these men "statesmen-correspond
ents" and "reformers."
In conclusion Mr. Taft says that he
is glad to he able to assure his audit
on "that I have learned a good deal
more in the first year (of the term)
than I am likely to assimilate in the
next three." We do not quite under
stand Mr. Taffs distinction between
learning things and assimilating them.
Anything that Is really learned is as
similated. Perhaps he means that he
Is not going to be able to apply these
lessons that he thinks he has learned.
If that be true, then so much the worse
for him and for the nation.
However, we do not believe the presi
dent Is entirely responsible for what he
Is saying, or that he weighs very care
fully the effect of his words. lie Is hurt
nnd sore and unhappy, and, as we say,
a good bit rattled. He blames the
newspapers, when his real trouble is
with the whole American people whose
sentiment the papers reflect. No doubt
there are plenty of flatterers and false
friends and people who desire to work
him that are ready at hand with as
surances that the papers do not rep
resent actual public opinion, and pos
sibly he may believe that. If so, there
is one thing more for him to "assim
ilate" before his term is over- for in
the end he must fat ■ the truth.
There were periods in our history
when the diplomat with the genial
smile could do fairly well In the White
House, but what the people want today
is a man who believes things, who has
c rage to act ad speak and who will
openly and without apology take the
people's Bide against the special inter
ests that are In control of the govern
ment.

A PLAINT
I never turn the printed page
But what, alas! I ««••
In clever form some clever thought
That should have come to me.
Of course, I should not want to think
of all the clever things;
And yet the thought thai I do not
Much worry to me brings.
If It worn only now and then
I missed .."in" nice conceit,
I would not bo no prona to think
My mind la obsolete.
But I miss scores of them, and gonle
So Hlmple quite that I
Will have to plead atpldlty
For letting them push by.
That there are lots of people who
Aro very brtg'..t indeed
Becomes apparent more and more
To me each time I read. -
