TAFT'S FATUITY
IX HIS speech at Detroit the other
day Mr. Taft dwelt at length on
the necessity of party organization
«nd the futility of trying to accom
plish anything under our form of gov
ernment except through such agency.
Time and again ho has harped on this
string, and he has loft us In no doubt
as to his meaning. It is that ho and
Cannon and Aldrich and Payne repre
sent the grand old party and all who
break away from allegiance to tho old
group are. recalcitrants. Those de
signing men, crafty from long study
and practice of the political game, have
played on tho president's credulous
good natures and convinced him that
tho insurgents are few and unimport
ant, the irresponsible would-be lead
ers of a schism. ,
How thoroughly they have deceived
Mr. Taft is apparent from hia sweeping
vindication of Ballinger, his open es
pousal of Aldrich, his declarations that
the new tariff bill is the best ever
passed, and his repeated scolding of
the insurgents, or progressives. .
Mr. Taft is afflicted with a political
eilpbonpolnt that will not lot him got
his car down to the ground, If he
could do bo ho must gee the significance
of such things ns the lowa election,
where the masses of his party have
passed on the old guard surrounding
the president. The Republican nom

grossives to three regulars. What other
Inference can there be for Mr. Tnft than
that the Insurgents have captured the
party banner and that not they but
the regulars are outside the breast
works?
So while Mr. Taft Is talking about
the sacredncss of the party and its
necessity as an agency of government,
by way of implied rebuke to tho in
surgents, ho is only making plainer
his own fatuous blindness to the
course of events. By nature Mr. Taft
Is a Bourbon. He is for tho estab
lished order of things, and it Is cost
ing him his grip on his party because
it is keeping a veil over his eyes.
If the Boston election, the Rochester
election and the lowa primaries do
not tear away that veil there is small
hope that the president will be able to
save himself, when the pi ople bury
the old guard und'r an avalanche of
vots at the end of tho next congres
sional campaign.
SCOOPED AGAIN
J
THE HARTFORD DEVELOPER Is
not the name of a commodity on
sale In the department stores, but
of an esteemed contemporary published
in the town of Hartford, Arkansas. The
Developer evidently has one of the
beat grapevine telegraph services in
the country, and many news items that
elude the virrilance of other papers find
their way to the Developer over this
wideawake system. For instance, in
a recent Issue we find that:
Many tourists that had Climbed
Mount Wilson to view the comet
were made seasick by the swaying
of the peak during the earthquakes
which visited Los Angeles, Cal.,
and surrounding territory.
It Is a fine commentary on the Angel
city press, wo must say, that a moun
tain right in our midst could be rock
ing around like a drunken dromedary
and not be detected at it. 'Where were
the alert newsgatherers of The Herald
and other local papers when the sea
sick star-gazers were dodging the fly-
Ing telescopes, furniture and kitchen
utensils of the denizens of the observ
atory and telephoning for a relief
party?
It Is recalled now by one news
gatherer that on a night of the comet
excitement a preoccupied Individual.
with an arm wound firmly about a
lamp-post In .in uptown street, had
his rigid gaze directed rut/ at the
comet, the presumed cynosure of all
but in the direction of Mount
Wilson, which he snid was rocking
around dreadfully. It "almost makes
me sheashlck," he said, but his worda
were dismissed as the idle talk of one
who had succumbed to the Influence

It Is all i lear now. He was the

It was said from .Mount Wilson by

atory had settled down and wai doing
business at the old stand.

A DISPATCH from Chicago pays that i

cording to various railroad managers.
found ivw homes In the Pacific north
west, in California and in Idaho, Mon
tana. Nevada. Utah, Colorado an*
Wyoming. The spring movement of
colonists is regarded as having broken
the record made in the spring of 1909
from 15 to 20 per cent.
The Harrlman lines alone (the only
ones that have given out exact figures)
carried 16.542, an increase of 2593 over
a like period In 1009. Last year's per
iod extended to April 30 and the total
movement was 19,935 colonists. Al
though no definite figures can be ob
tained from the Hill lines, the move
ment over them into the northwest is
usually at least double that over the
Harriman lines.
Figuring upon this basis the move
ment for six weeks of the spring pe
riod into the northwest and into Cali
fornia, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah,
Colorado and Wyoming must have
been approximately 50,000 colonists.
A great migration toward the Pacific
is K.iiiiff on that could not now be
chi eked if we desired. The cumula
tive effect of the advertising done by
our chambers' of commerce, our rail
roads and our loving friends, the colo
nists who write back and tell their
neighbors of the glories of the Prom
ised Land, is being felt in ever-in
i reusing force. The shrewd part of the
American business people are think
ing about the vast market soon to be
open 1 by the awakening of China and
the completion of the Panama canal,
and farmers are asking themselves
why they should stay on hardscrab
ble land in the east when they can
raise Tour crops to one on Southern
California soil.
Great as has been the immigration
of the past, it will be exceeded by
that of the future—not only in volume
tut In percentage.

CORPORATION TELLS HALF
TRUTH IN UPHOLDING RATES
[Editor Herald]: I am one of those
citizens who believe. In fair play and
a square deal. As such I have watched
the process of establishing rates for
electric light, water and telephones
from an Impartial standpoint.
This morning's Herald publishes a
letter from the lighting corporations,
purporting to show what Is being
charged in other cities. I am a for
mer resident of Cleveland, where I
paid electric light hilla for about ten
years. There the double unit system
of charge is employed; the maximum
charge for minimum consumption is
12>£ cents per kilowatt, with an im
mediate drop to 5 cents per kilowatt
upon consumption of the minimum.
Under this system of charging, the
average rate for lighting my home
wag about 8 cents per kilowatt. My
neighbors fared likewise.
The letter published in The Herald
says Cleveland companies charge 12*£
cents. This Is only half the truth;
the average actual charge is less than
9 cents. If the ftem regarding Cleve
land Is misleading, how about the
other cities mentioned?
I might add I paid 3 cents per kilo
watt for light in my business, fur
nished by the company referred to
above. L. C. SOMEKS.

CONTENDS THAT THE SAVIOR
WAS BORN WITHOUT BLEMISH
[Kditor Herald]: In the present dis
cussion, whether the "sin In the flesh"
is purely imaginary or a "physical de
filement," Mr. Rode says: "Christ had
the same flesh and blood that we all
have. Will Mr. Kitts contend that
Christ was impure? ire will have to
If 'sin in the flesh' means 'some phys
ical defilement.' "
I am pleased that this statement Is
presented. I Will not contend that
Jesus, the Christ, was Impure. He
was the lamb without blemish, free
from Kin, a body prepared as a hab
itation for the son of <jod to do his
Father's will.
Now mark the wisdom of the Father
in the preparation of this body of
Jesus of Nazareth.
"Behold a virgin shall conceive and
bear a son." (Isaiah 7:H.)
"Thou said Mary unto the angel:
How shall this be, seeing I know not
a man? And the angel answered and
said unto her: The Holy Qhoat shall
come upon thee; therefore also that
holy thing which shall be born of tliee
-hall be called the son of God." (Luke
1:85.)
Thus we see that Jesus was truly
the "born of the woman," receiving
his mortal life of the flesh from his
mother alone, cleansed, purified, ac
cording to the law of (lod as laid down
in Leviticus xv:2B. No earthly father
to mar the temple with the sting of
death. It can truly be said that since
by the offense of .\<lam all mankind has
been begotten ami conceived in sin
(Jesus alone except" d, he having no
cart lily father), all has.' the thorn
in the flesh as a messenger of satan
to buffet them, for the fathers (mark
the genderi have eaten antl still eat
the sour grape, setting the children's
teeth <ni edge, a truth sadly confirmed
by our crowded prisons, reformatories
and kindred institutions.

ROMANCE REVEALED IN
WILL OF AGED WOMAN
Mrs. Fannie Surdane Steele
Leaves Man Half Her Own
Age $25,000
CHICAGO, June B.—Mrs. Ffinnie Sur
tiane Steele, aged 65, of Now TJork died
suddenly of apoplexy today at a Chi
cago hotel. Her will, filed later In the
probate court, disclosed a romance, for
by its provision a man half her age,
whom she refused to marry because of
the differences in their ages, is be
queathed $25,000 of her estate of |826,000.
The man, Attorney Edgar R. Accetta
of New York, was at Mrs. Stecle's bed"
side when she died. He was the last
person she asked to see when the hotel
physicians told her that she was dying.
Shortly after the death of her hus
band, fifteen years ago, Mrs. Steele be
came engaged to marry Aeeettu. She
then broke the engagement, telling Ac
oettfl he would ruin his life by marry
ing a woman of her years. Accetta
then sued her for breach of promise in
the New York courts. The suit was
settled out of court on agreement that
Aecetta should receive an annual in
come and $25,000 at Mrs. Stecle's death.
According to Attorney Nicholas
MiohPls, one of the Steele executors,
Accetta arrived In Chicago last Satur
day on his way to St. Paul. He called
on Mrs. Steele at her hotel. learning
■he was 111 he abandoned his trip and
passed much of the time \v4th her.
Early last Sunday morning Aecetta
was walking with Phlllpo Catalano, a
Chicago acquaintance, when Catalano
was .shot and killed by an unidentified
Italian. Accetta was arrested and held
by the police as a witness until after
the Inquest of C'atanalo's murder. He
sent word of his predicament to Mrs.
Steele, and physicians say that the
shock of this news hastened Mrs.
Steele'i death.
Accetta hastened to the hotel after
he was released by the police and found
.Mrs. Steele in a semi-conscious con
dition.

REFUSES TO TRANSFER
NEGRO INFANTRYMEN
President Taft Denies Petition of
Residents of Seattle Made
Through Senator
WASHINGTON, June B.—The presi
dent has flatly refused to accede to
a demand from thn citizens of Seattle,
Wash., transmitted through Senator
Jo?ies, for the removal of the Twenty
fifth Infantry (colored) because a sol
dier Js accused of assaulting a white
woman. .
The. reason for the president's action
Is contained In the following state
ment, Issued by Secretary Dickinson:
"The president stated that the re
quest for the removal of the negro
troops could not be complied with;
that If any members of the regiment
had violated the law they should bo
apprehended and turned over to thn
local authorities for punlrfhment. It
was the business rtf the, war depart
ment to see that they made as little
disturbance as possible, but to move
them on unproven charges would bo
merely to impose them upon another
community and might amuse a pdo
test from such community.
"The secretary of war sent word to
the commanding ofllcor at Fort Law
ton directing prompt and complete In
vestigation, confinement of offendi-ts
and detention of witnesses, ir heioiiK
ing to his command, and that in view
of the state of feeling reported his
command should be confined strictly to
the reservation, pending complete In
vestigation. An immediate report was
ordered."

'PAID IN FULL' WILL BE
PUT ON SECOND WEEK
"Paid In Full" Is Justifying all the good.
things which have been said about it by
bringing capacity houses to the Durbank
every performance, and as a result it will
be given a second week, beginning with the
matinee Sunday, "raid In Full" was m«re
or less of an experiment, as It was so dif
ferent and so much stronger In Its abandon
ment of the stereotyped Ideas of heroes ami
heroines than the general run of plays, and
it was a problem whether the audiences
would take kindly to the transition. That
they have done so is more than proved by
the box office reports, and It Is now proved
beyond doubt that tho first demand of the
theatergoer Is for a good play, and tha
Burhank production Is of such a character
as to bring out every point of excellence In
the four acts. Byron Beasley Is doing a
piece of work In the character of Joe JJrooka
that Will bo remembered In Los Angeles
when everything else he ever has dona In
the past will be forgotten. Playgoers hero
are,' continually getting metropolitan pro
ductions at the Burbank, for every now and
then a part crops out which Is simply
"made" for the actor who is assigned to It,
and it la difficult to conceive or any Im
provement on any of the Impersonations in
"Paid In Full."
