THERE need not be much doubt that the great independent
vote, which is usually decisive of. elections, will be cast on the
<ide of Hiram Johnson and the republican ticket in November.
These voters do not cast their ballots without
careful study of the situation and the signs of
the times. Sometimes they call themselves
republicans and sometimes democrats, but
they do not vote blindly in any case, and in
California they form an unusually large proportion of the voting
population. It is for this reason that the state, although normally
republican by a great majority on national issues, has nevertheless
been subject to violent political fluctuations in'-the state elections.
This condition makes it worth while to speculate concerning the
effect and force of current considerations that seem likely to affect
the judgment of the independent voter. In this relation the Los
Angeles Record prints the following:
Mr. Bell's success in this campaign may well prove to be the destruction
of that great reformatory movement in the dominant part}' that has just
begun in this state. The rank and file of the good' men in the party will
be discouraged. That great majority of the party that, unthinkingly and
by habit, vote the republican ticket, and who are human, and thus desire
to bo on the winning side, will, if Mr. Johnson is defeated, be cajoled into
the belief that their party suffered defeat onlj' bcause it had been led by
men of good principles but impracticable methods.
In fine, if the republican party in California is to go forward
aiid not backward, to stay progressive and abandon reactionism and
its past servitude to the Southern Pacific company, the step taken
at' the direct primary must be ratified at the polls.
It is a notorious fact that every reactionary influence in the
state would regard the defeat of Johnson as a triumph -'for their
cause. The independent voters might very well reflect on the fact
that Johnson and the republican ticket are getting no support from
such organs as the San Francisco Chronicle and the Oakland
Tribune. In fact, these newspapers have nothing but sneers for
the ticket and the platform.
The
Independent
Voter's View
MAYOR MCCARTHY insists on strict police discipline for
the central business quarter and the rigid repression of those
irregularities which have for some time past marked the
night life of this part of town. It is bad busi
ness that the shopping quarter, frequented by
all classes of citizens, should present scenes
that must offend the sensibilities of decent
people. As the mayor said in his recent letter
to the police commission.:
The party that I represent in office is especially pledged to the doc
trine of "equal rights to all and special privileges tb none." but it is,
nevertheless obvious that special^ privileges have been extended through
the agency c 4 your subordinates, F^om time to time, which practice must
instantly cease. I have in mind Hie tendency of various cafes in the
district centering at Eddy and M^son streets to take every possible '
advantage of the police and of the law. and thereby to establish con
ditions which make fhe wisdom of their further existence in this com
munity a matter of grave doubt.
The best business sense of the retail shopping neighborhood
supports this position taken by the mayor, and begins to realize that
the previous- policy of indifference was a mistake. This sense of
the situation is clearly expressed in a resolution adopted by the
hotelmen's association, which says:
Resolved, that the San Francisco Hotelmen's association, having the
best interests of the city and its people at heart, commends the expressed >
determination of P. 11. McCarthy and District Attorney Fickert
' • to transfer the tenderloin to some less prominent section of the city,
and pledges its moral support to any action they may consider best to
accomplish this result, knowing that proper time will be given and due
rc'gard paid to property rights.
The mayor's action is timely, and we may rely on the new
"chief of police for a strict enforcement of the laws and restrictions.
There is no purpose to institute a regime of blue laws, but vice
: must not be permitted to offend decency. To accomplish this
; purpose nothing more will be necessary than the enforcement of
already existing laws and ordinances, and for this we may rely on
the new chief of police, backed as he is by the mayor, and having
from past experience a competent and intimate knowledge of. police
A Movement
for Public
Decency
A PAINFUL situation is disclosed by the spectacle of Sereno
ZA Payne finding fault with his own tariff and especially with the
* -method of its making. One fears that Congressman Payne is
in the way to be denounced as a" traitor by the
American protective tariff league, and will
be held up as one only fit to be burned at
_ Mr. Payne is now explaining to his con
stituents the faults oCthe tariff, which he admits were not his
faults, and. like so many others of his tribe, he finds it convenient
to put the whole blame on Uncle Joe Cannon, the universal scape
goat, who is made to suffer for all the sins of the standpatters. The
Xew York Tribune gives this summary of Mr. Payne's explanation:
If the chairman of the ways and means committee had had his way,
the revision would have been decidedly more downward. But he was
• hampered by the policy of Speaker Cannon, Who worked to prevent a -
scaling of duties downward, and who in the last stages of the tariff fight
allied himself more or less openly with the extreme "standpat" element
in the senate. Mr. Payne did not have, a free hand and was forced in
the. end to accept compromises which were less satisfactory to him and
to the public than were the rates of the original. house bill.. He expressed
regret on Friday that he could not induce the ways and means committee
to revise the woolen schedule, and there were many other 'instances in
which his downward revision ideas were overruled by the house
organization. . r~
But Mr. Payne's most cruel blow at the standpatters is his
consent to the principle of. piecemeal revision of the tariff. The
very citadel of oppressive protection can only be held'by a perpetua
tion of the s\ r stemof logrolling and bargaining by which the interests
of one class of consumers aaree c traded off, in secret against the
'interests of some other class. It is this practice of dishonest trading
[*hat~ raised £he general level of duties in a' monstrous \va3*. and

The Los Angeles Tragedy Is an Infamous
Crime, for Which There Must Be Atonement
I' •- - ; '
NO MAN, not himself criminal in prac
tice or at heart, can withhold from
the Los Angeles Times a deep and
'sincere sympathy for the loss it has suf
fered through an* unexampled atrocity— a
loss great in terms of money,- but y far i
greater in .terms of human life and human f
suffering.
Xo man, not an anarchist in prac
tice or at "heart; can keep himself from/
wrath against the authors of the atrocity :
or from the hope that they may be quickly
and surely brought to justice. It must be
— it assuredly is — the earnest wish/of every
man believing in and living within the law
that whoever and whatever . may be found 7
responsible for this hideous ; wickedness
shall atone for it in the extreme fand ulti
mate of punishment. Nor will it appease
a worldwide indignation if only;lhe instrii- .
ments of the horror shall be brought^ to
book and bar therefor; the vengeance arid
vindication of the law must reach ihe prin
cipals as well as the agents.
Proximately and primarily the loss by
the Los Angeles atrocity is the Times'
loss; the immediate injury is to those who
were robbed of life or crippled in usefulness
and in the capacity of enjoying their lives—.
to those whom the infamous crime left be
reaved and sorrowing inconsolably. . But
the greater injury, the larger outrage is
to and upon organized society^ The> explo
sion that wrecked the Times plant and mur
dered so many of its staff shook the founda
tions of a free government and sent a
quiver through the fabric of our - institu
tions. It is now public and not private
business speedily to find and sternly to
punish the perpetrators of this villainy.
The cowardly, savage blow struck at the
property of the Times and the persons of
its managers and employes drove past them
and touched the .vitals of the state— the
state in its broader, v national sense, g It
is the state's concern to vindicate itself and
its institutions and to avenge the outrage
committed upon it.
There is no need to consider the possi
bility that the Times horror resulted from
accident or mischance. Already the evi
dence is clear that it was the consequence
of a diabolical deliberation and determina
tion. The buildings were blown up and
the. victims were killed with an intent and
a purpose in which there was no mercy;
the plan was conceived and worked out
with a tigerish ferocity. It made no differ
ence what lives it cost, the Times.must.be
phvsicallv -dest-roved. Beyond that were
the abortive attempts to dynamite the
home of Otis and Zeehandelaar. In those
phases of the case is manifest direct design
to do murder, for. neither of these places
was essential to the business of the news
paper.
It was a hellish criminality that.stalked
its prey that Friday night in Los An
geles, crouched in the shadows and. slunk
swiftly away from ' the lights \ and the
sight of -men— a bestial savagery, all the
more fearsome for its intelligence, its in
humanly human cunning. It was the very
spirit of anarchy incarnate, mind without
soul, evil unmitigated, v 7 \u25a0

piecemeal revision, taking up one schedule at a time, will stop the
trade in votes. >;../ ;..;\u25a0\u25a0 •

heart of our whole civilization is that this
terror* is still abroad. The tiger lurks
among us. The rattlesnake hides in our
house. It is riot to be wondered that all
civilized' humanity answers the alarm.
As was to have been expect e^ the
Times, ' bitter " and unrelenting enemy of
organized labor, charges tile atrocity to its
arch foe, as do many of the Times ' adher
ents and sympathizers. As far as has been
disclosed that charge is based, not on evi
dence, but on. inference, --and the crime is
too terrible to be laid at the door of any
man or organization of men without at least
prima facie proof .
Admittedly the relations of the Times,
of Otis and* of Zeehandelaar on the one
side and organized labor on the other have
been v openly arid fiercely hostile, but if
organized labor could even tolerate, much
less participate in such evil,- then organ
ized labor has been keeping a double set
of books and a double set of principles
all the years of its; existence, exhibit
ing and prof essing one set in^ public and
cleaving to the other in secret. For such a
deed of iniquity is repugnant to every
avowed principle, of union labor, and foreign
to all that the world knows of the lives and
works and beliefs of tlie leaders of that
widespread movement. Is it thinkable that
the millions of American workingmen and
working women who make up organized
labor— who are organized labor—counte
nance such infamy as that: of the Los An
geles horror? Is it believable that they
would knowingly associate with men
capable of inspiring or doing such iniquity?
The truth is that whoever did this thing
struck not only organized society but
organized labor. Whatever their purpose
and motive, the dynamiters must have
known that it was impossible to destroy
the Times; that the first sequel of the crime
must be a terrible accusation against organ
ized labor; that until it could be proved
otherwise many must believe the accusa
tion well founded; that, lacking capture
and -, conviction of somebody, the charge
must lie indefinitely in tlie minds of many
a stain upon union labor. Organized labor 's
worst enemy could not have contrived a
*\u25a0 . \u25a0 \u25a0 .
worse thing against that cause.
So it is especially the business of organ
ized labor to assist organized society in the
laying bare of the last detail of this crime.
From the heads of the parent bodies to the
newest member of the littlest union it is
organized labor's part to help run down the
dynamiters and drag from them truth as
to who, if anybody, inspired them, as to
their motives, as to ' the source of the
money spent in the Times outrage..
Organized society must vindicate itself,
and so must organized labor. Society can
not endure the .presence and the fell poten
tiality within itself of such human tigers;
labor can not rest under the charge, how
ever ill founded, that it is morally respon
sible for such an evil. That labor appre
ciates the situation is manifest from actior
already taken and foreshadowed tin the
direction of a close and complete"co-opera
tion with all the other agencies of out
raged society nowt moving to. catch ;anc
punish the dynamiters^

Mary clerked in Whimple's store, and her heart
was sick and sore, for poor Mary wasn't strong, and
1 the hpurs were beastly long, and
her pay was pretty slim, and the
boss was sour and grim. Marys
nerves were worn to shreds, sell
ing yarns and pins and threads.
. . .. And one day a haughty dame to
this salesgirl's counter came, wanting stuff to make
a gown; and" she made the girl hand down -titty,
tons or so of cloth; and she grew exceeding wroth
'cause the prices were too high ; and she glared
with fiery eye at the weary girl and said: 'Hustle,

weak, soaked that woman on the cheek; slugged her three time,

BEHIND
THE
COUNTER
The Morning Chit-Chat
.^ f r AM over 30. All my girl chums are married. I
I do not think that I shall ever marry. I might as
well make up my mind to that. But even if I am
not going .to marry I am not going to be an 'old maid,'
not the sour kind. I have decided that, and I have also
decided that the way to do it is to keep in touch with
young life. Since I am to have no children of my own
I am going to try to be as interested in and as much
with my girl friends' children as is possible."
That is the decision that a young woman whom I
know made a year ago.
And in that year it has actually so changed and
sweetened her from the rather embittered and self-suf
ficient young person which she was then that her ac
quaintances are_continually saying to each other:
t"What has come over Louise? She has improved so."
And that decision is the secret. y
Isn't it a splendia one?
Think of the people that have beep affected by it.
There are Louise's friends who today enjoy her bright, jolly presence,
whereas a year ago they almost avoided her rather caustic, self-sufficient
ways. -
There are Louise's father and mother, who are delighted beyond word--,
at having their daughter so much happier and more contented.
There are the half dozen of her friends' children, who have learned to
call her "Aunt Louise" and to rush to the door to greet her whenever she
And, best of all, there is Louise herself, who is replacing discontent ami
dreariness and unrest by contentment and peace and serenity.
I remember years ago hearing a very fine unmarried woman of 45 or 50
say, as she looked at another woman's baby:
"That is the hardest thing in my life to me. I don't mind so much bei:""?
! called an old maid' I don't mind so much not being a wife, but the terrihb
thing is to think that I shall never be a mother; that no little boy or girl will
ever say that dear word 'mother' to me."
It seems to me as. if deep down in her heart every unmarried woman
must have the same feeling, "and I can not think of anything finer than my
friend's determination to be a motherxby proxy, since she can not be a real
I wonder if there are not som<* unmarried women among my reader? whr>
