MILITARISM

MILITARISM has been revived InPrance and is raging there likea high fever. Its influence has

been shown markedly at recent muni-cipal elections, where socialism hassuffered defeat and the capitalisticand military party is in thorough con-trol of the republic. All civilization Ison the eve of making a decision be-tween God and mammon; between self-ishness and the philosophical socialsystem exemplified to some extent inthe glorious early days of the Ameri-can republic, with its purity and sim-

plicity of life, its high, altruisticideals and its reverent respect for therights of men. Jesus said that on thegolden rule and on recognition of theJovlng fatherhood of God, hang "all thelaw and all the prophets." Every reg-ulation of human society which is tobe permanent must have this in mind.Every article, essay or book writtenwithout a consciousness of this truthwill be certain to "sDund more than itmeans" and will not bear analysis.

The attempt to introduce militarismInto the United States will be foughtby the Christian church as soon as theChristian church becomes aware ofthe treason to Christianity of whichcongress, unrebuked by the Republicanpresident, was guilty in its last hourswhen it thought It could tako thaAmerican public unawares and oftguard and SNEAKED THROUGH themilitary bill, about which Republicanpapers, probably in obedience to orders,are Baying nothing.

Guilty of treason to the Americannation, treason to Christianity, treasonto the children of the United States,

treason to the first principles ofAmericanism and of marked, appall-ing, disgusting and repelling cowardicealong with its treason, the Republicanparty has forfeited respect a"nd willforfeit power as soon as complete pub-

licity can bo given the story of itsshortcomings and excesses.

LIQUCR AND LAW

PEOPLE who shout defiantly thata man is a man for all that for-get that a law is a law for all

that. Laws are man made, but theyare also man governing. As soon ascivilization or any country in civiliza-tion ceases to play the game according

to the rules it illustrates a conditionof chaos and disorder, which, if unrem-edted, will lead to mischievous conse-quences. %jC

This is why it is of vital importance

to any community to have ALL thelaws enforced equally under ALL cir-cumstances and in dealing with ALLcomponent classes or sections of thecommunity. It is the duty of officialsto enforce the liquor license lawsi ALL'S In clubs, restaurants andsaloons. They would not be doingtheir duly if they enforced them lessrigorously and vigorously in restau-rants than Fa'oons, less rigorously andvigorously in clubs than in restaurants.The mayor of Los Angeles says saloonand restaurant men representing the"better element" favor strict obedienceto law, and recognize the fact that theremedy for laws displeasing or irk-some to some citizens is repeal or thesubstitution of new laws to supplantthe old. To make rules and then breakthem is idiotic, and we cannot imaginea more humiliating or mortifying spec-tacle than that presented by a "loyalAmerican citizen" who comes sneak*ing out of the Bid' door of a liquorshop or bar room during prohibitionhours, wiping his grinning lips andsaying "Aha! "What a smart man am

I! . My friend, the saloon keeper, andI have just been engaged in a success-ful conspiracy to break the laws whichwe as citizens helped to make and orein honor bound to obey!" •

DEMOCRACY

THOMAH MOTT OSBORNB In th«Atlantic Monthly discusses thefuture of the Democratic party.

Like all well Informed men who havestudied American history at its sources,he is certain Democracy more nearlyrepresents Amerlcanlum than does any

political party or force of moderntimes. Because of this fact, whichwill ho well understood as soon as

American history receives its properplace in the training of Americans forAmerican citizenship, he saya "TODOUBT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTYWOyLD BE TO DESPAIR OF THEREPUBLIC." But, ne adds, Democra-cy is its own foe. If Democrats re-main indifferent and discouraged, howcan they hope to succeed? If theywill arouse themselves to the struggle,realize their responsibilities, forgetformer defeats and divisions and thinkonly of the future, of the chance tomake their party once more what itwas formed to be, has been, and canlie made, the great party of progress,the party of Democracy, not only canthey again place their president In theWhite House, but they can start anew "wave of genuine and orderlyprogress which will uplift the peopleof this Democratic republic to a higherplace than has evor yet been reached."

With all this we agree, and we wouldImpress it on our readers and urgethem to take It to heart. It Is In ac-cord with statements made over andover again in these columns. As Mr.Osborne says, the United States hasbecome the prey of "the most greedy,domineering, unscrupulous form of,aristocracy the world has ever seen,the tariff beneficiaries." Tariff reformis obviously the first weapon whichmust be used to bring the rebellioustyrants of this "aristocracy" back to arespect for law, order and the firstprinciples of Americanism. They knowthis, and In order to defeat Democraticreform of the tariff, which would l.cREFORM, not procrastination, are pre-paring to buy the election of a Repub-lican president, while they are encour-aging their press agents to manufac-ture and circulate the most unscrupu-lous and idiotic campaign lie ever In-vented, namely, the wildly preposterous

assertion that William Jennings BryanIf elected president would be controlledby the trusts!

THE STORK

THREE cheers for that noble birdo' freedom, the California stork!The birth rate in Los Angeles for

\u25a0May far exceeded the death rate. AsPresident Roosevelt used to say,"Bully." We hope he still says It andIs still the same old Teddy. At presentIt looks as If he were suffering froman acute attack of Republican mill-tarltis. If he will put his ear to theground he will hear, not the tramp ofarmed hosts, but the patter of thefeet of children trotting to their dailytasks in mine, mill and factory, andIf he still thinks lie must make con-scripts of us let him call us out to de-fend those little children and to bringRepublican tyrannical slave driversback to their senses and to obedienceto Americanism and he may find plentyor Irate patriots willing to "shoulderarms!"

Since the birth rate exceeds thedeath rate it Is fair to ask what wepropose to do with all the little "newchums" who are coming into the world?Must we pack them off to toll as soonas they can read and write? Must wemake wage earners of them, deprivingthem of the playtime of their livesby stealing from them that whichno nation is great enough, no legisla-ture wise enough, no army or navypowerful enough to restore to evenONE of the least of the little ones—CHILDHOOD? We hope that long erethe babies who come to Los An-geles are of working or workable agethis pressing and urgent social question

will have been settled forever by aDemocratic American government ina Democratic and American way, andthat life, liberty and the pursuit ofhappiness will be guaranteed to allthe citizens of today and tomorrowand all time. For the sake of thebabies let ua work with might andmain to elect a Democratic president.

WHOSE CRIME?

VICE PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES

Polite Politics

TARIFF LESSON

A TIMELY tariff lesson comes fromGreat Britain, where there hasbeen an animated parliamentary

discussion over duties on hops. SirGilbert Parker, who wrote "Th» Seatsof the Mighty," Is now himself occupy-ing a sent of the mighty, and puts "M.P." after his name. He Is the mostbehandled writing- man on earth andcarries a title fore and aft.

This does not nullify the fact he isa good newspaper man, a keen observerand a talented novelist. But becausehe enjoys all these and other qualifica-tions which entitle him to be rated"highly superior," he is not a know-lt-all, and must not be mistaken for anauthority on economics. He Is In favorof high tariff because "American farm-ers dumped 8000 tons of hops on theBritish market."

He talks exactly like an Americanprotectionist. His speech on the sub-ject of hops might have been' utteredby R-roswell Q. Hor-r-r or some otherold school Republican, who thought thetariff was responsible for everythingin the United States that was eithergood or great, or both, including thaWashington monument, the sword ofBunker Hill, life liberty and the pur-suit of happiness, the discovery of gold

in California and the emancipation ofthe southern negro.

Sir Gilbert takes a point of view towhich we have become accustomed inthe United States, the class point ofview. He wishes the five British na-tions to suspend imperial activities,

while the Kngllsh hop farmer is placed

in a position which will enable him(unconsciously) to loot his fellowfarmers who grow wheat and not beer.He wishes to foster one Industry with-out regard to its relation to all other

industries.We recognize the value of the tariff

in the history of the United States. Wealso recognize the value of the swordof Bunker Hill. Wo honor any weapon

which was used to make America a

great and independent nation—untilthat weapon Is turned against theAmerican nation, and tariff has beenturned against the American nation andIs now being used in connection with asystem of pillage and exploitation. Oneof the most significant signs of thetimes is the fart that New Kngland Is

In favor of tariff reform; nay, Is clam-oring for It. For a while the home of the

old original Yankees gladly favored atariff that enriched her FOR A CEA-SON, but now she Is begging for FREERAW MATERIALS. It is obviously

silly and stupid to encourage the per-petuation of a policy which for a while

was "penny wise," and to insist on re-taining It as a. national system long

after it has become "pound foolish."

HEARSTISM

HEARSTS orphan league won'tgrieve over his absence. It willfeel more Independent than ever

without him. But when Mr. Hearst

is r.ot on the quarter deck, what ex-cuse Is there for the league? Like a

show without Punch. Hamlet without

Ham., the . league without its loader

Illustrates the fact that the leader Is

most of the league. If Mr. Hearst by

his personal magnetism and the power

of his gray matter had been able to

attract a personal following or create

a new political party he would have

evoked admiration even when he could

not command allegiance or respect.

But Hearst's following has been at-

tracted by the magnetism of his money,

the power of his purse. His money

has given htm the means of expressinghimself. Yellow journalism expresses

him. The Independence league ex-presses him. Each Is a manifestationof Hearst; each Ik Hearstlsm. As far

an he has gone ho has shown no con-structive power, but has displayed con-siderable aptitude for destructlvenessand mischief. When he was repudiatedby a disgusted Democracy.tie retiredto hi» tent and like a yellow Achilles,sulked until'he had devised a scheme

by which the Democratic party couldbe punished for its failure to give himthe nomination for president of theUnited States. His scheme took theform of an "Independence league,"which, like yellow journalism. Is anom-alous, superfluous, fantastic, freakishand grotesque. Hearstiem will neverbe recognized as a force In the UnitedStates. It is merely one of the mostcurious and eccentric by-products ofour civilization.

TOO FRANK

AREPUBLICAN contemporary says:

''We shall perhaps see two fatmen running for the presidency.

One going coolly and smilingly on hisway, the other raging like a tiger andsweating at every pore." Well, whynot? We are rather more than halfway inclined to think Judge Taft willhave good reason to rage like a tiger,also to sweat at every pore. He willbe especially inclined to rage and per-spire If the wicked Filipinos carry outtheir Intention of trailing him on hiecampaign tour with a band and wagonand a horrid, illustrated lecture en-titled "The Taft We Knew in the Phil-ippines." Taft should not allow Re-publican papers to write about him insuch a frank and reckless fashion. Itis unseemly.

For another week the board of su-pervisors will ponder the questionpresented by the Semi-Tropic Spiritual-ists' association, which asks exemptionfrom the ordinance imposing a licenseon mediums who practice their profes-sion for revenue. The mere man willnever cease to wonder why the spooksdon't communicate with level headedpeople during business hours. Whydon't they drop In on us In our offices?Why do they wait until the dark ofthe moon, and why do they manifestthemselves best when there is myster-ious music?

When a long train of abusps andusurpations, pursuing invariably thesame object, evinces a design to reducethe people under absolute industrialdespotism, It is their right and duty tothrow off such government and' pro-vide new guards for their future secur-ity by entrusting to a conscientiousDemocratic government the govern-mental power.

There will be no beef famine In thesouthwest. There are enough cattle towarrant the stutement that any ad-vance In prices would not be justifiedby conditions. Yet the b< ef trust willtry to make up for losses during themoney stringency by putting h tax onthat pprt of the food supply which Itcontrols.

Brazil hns asked the United Statesto send it a supply of dragon flies. Theflies will be used to hunt mosquitoes,and the stillness of the Brazilian nightwill be broken by the blast of the mos-quito's horn as he wildlyflees from thepursuing dragon fly. This is not a

nature fake.

Thirty-five new instructors were ap-

pointed at last night's meeting of theboard of education. The brisk birthrate and the ever Increasing demandfor school teachers are among the most

reliable signs of the great growth andprosperity of Los Angeles.

City Auditor Mushet says tens of

I thousands of dollars are lost by thu| -city because the tax collector does not

attempt to collect all the licenses thatarc duo. Evidently Mushet is "on tohis job."

BELIEVES PUBLIC WORKSSHOULD SOLVE PROBLEM

LOS ANOELES, Juno 6.—[EditorHerald]: I should like to ask yourreaders a question, but first, by wayof explanation, I wish to say that Itseems to me that when the recentmoney stringency came upon thincountry it would havo been an ex-cellent opportunity for our state andnational governments to finish all oldundertakings and inaugurate new onesenough to keep everybody busy.

There are so many public works thatare sorely needed to bring this countryup to date thsit it is a mystery to methat our government* are not takingadvantage ot present conditions to ac-complish these tasks while so manythousands of men are out of employ-ment.

No need to mention what publicworks are required—everybody knowsthat.

Are our state and national legislatorsso dumb to the sufferings of humanitythat they don't care; or Is it that theyare too engrossed in their own affairsto see the needs of their fellowmen andcan only answer "God knowa" whenconfronted with the proposition ofstarvation or employment for thelaboring man?

Now for my question: Why have notour governments done these thingswhich I speak of? UNKELJO.

STICKS TO HIS POINT;WON'T BE DRAWN FURTHER

LOS ANGELES, June B.—[EditorHerald]: Answering 1-A RebelliousHeathen," who says: "When youhear a Sociallat denounce an-archism with considerable venom," etc.,I will first say that he Is not "talkingto me." I never "denounce" either ve-nomously or otherwise, and I am agreat admirer (with reservation, ofcourse) of Tolstoy, Kropotkln and oth-ers I might name—though even Tols-toy has, by last accounts, gone backon his anarchism and turned Socialist.

As to the soldier and the Socialist, Irepeat there Is no analogy. The soldierso long us he "did hts soldiering" dutyand did not "overstay his leave" orbreak barracks to attend that lecture,was violating no known definite orreasonable rule of army nervier. There-fore I maintain his punishment isgrossly and tyranouuly unjust. TheSocialist, on the other hand, did violatea specific, definite, reasonable and es-

sentlal party provision and pledge, tohold himself entirely to the Socialistparty and apart from all other politicalpropaganda. (I suggest it would be"too cheap" and obvious to pick me upon.this by retorting—anarchism is not"political"). Therefore Riddle's disci-plining was, on the face of It, just andsalutary, and I do not believe he hlm-KtMf Ih kicking. "On the face of it," IBuy, because personally Iknow nothingof the details of the case.

Having said this, I decline to bedrawn Into following further any "an-archistic" red herring that it may beattempted to trail under my^iose.

Because I urn a Socialist and be-rmiM. Kiddle in a Socialist—one of thebent —and because I believe he him-»elf would not countenance thin falimdluplay of "sympathy" with an ulteriormotive, which is using his suspensionas a mere peg on which to hang impli-cations of tyranny against .Socialistsand Socialism.

WORLDWIDE INTERESTWhen America Is Grown—Applied Science

upon the reign of Elisabethas the golden age of letter*,

upon the era of Pericles asthe golden age of Gr««k c.lv*filiation, so the" world of thefuture will look back unon

the twentieth; century aa the goldenago of science. The wonderful Inven-tions and discoveries of the nineteenth

there is good reasonfor tha faith of sci-entific i m«n thatthoy were only theseeds scattered fromthe hand j of thesoever, the promiseof the full fruitionto \u25a0come .In thl»present century. i . *

The scientists ofthe United States donot lend • ' all theworld, It is true, butthe Americans arefirst In the applica-tion of science topractical . ' affairs.There was a timewhen the - scientistwas a recluse whopursued his pains-taking investiga-tions merely for thelove of his work.Nowadays the sci-entist works with a

purpose—and that purpose th« desireto lighten the burden, Increase theusefulness and add to the pleasure orevery living: man.

Every fleld of human Inquiry la being

examined into with the slow, patient,careful and intelligent questioning ofthe scientist. Every discovery made IsInstantly applied to soma problem ofaotual life. Time was, and not so longago. that the world laughed at the be-spectacled man who bent for yearjjover his microscope looking at "buss."The world laughs no longer. Thatmuch despised "bugologlat" has freedthe race from mortal fear of manydiseases, he has found the way to pre-vent devastating blights which de-stroyed useful plants, he Is still tire-lessly at work for the good ot man-kind.

The great problem of the Inventorand the scientist of the future will bethe utilization of what the people nowwaste in this country. Kor instance.It Is said that the railroad* of theUnited States use 16U.000.00u tons ofcoal a year in their engines and thatthe energy of only 7,600,000 tons ofthis Is utilized, the energy of the other14:!,(iO0,O0'J tons passing uselessly 4way

Into the air. Every ton of this waat«dcoal gives off (J5.000 pounds 0/ carbonicacid gas and each pound of it haa asmuch efficiency In It as three poundsof steam. Thus every year the rail-roads alone waste power equivalent totwenty seven trillion pounds of steam.Think of the wonderful benefits thoman will confer upon humanity whowill find a practical way to utilize onlyone-half of the wasted energy! If allcoal consumption showa a proportion-ate amount of wasted energy It meansthat In the United States we annuallylose the energy of more than sixty-fivetrillion pounds of steam. That energyproperly doled out would be sufficientto meet all the power requirements ofthe \vbole world. Some idea of itsinconceivable immensity may be gath-ered from the statemeut that if everyone of the 25,000.000 horses in theUnited States wore required to exerttheir full pulling power It would takethem more than 6600 years, workingeight hours out of every day and 800days out of every year, to perform vlike amount of work.

Then tl:ere Is tho waste of waterpower. The total amount of waterpower used in 1905 was about a millionand a half horse power. If the streamsof the United States from the smallest

1 available mountain brook up to thewaterfalls and rapids of the big riverswere harnessed it-would probably showa hundredfold Increase over the presentcapacity, or enough to furnish thepower of the whole nation a hundredyears hence. By the utilization of thehydio-electrlo principle the millions nfhome power now going to waste in thomountain fastnesses of the country

-can be brought out Into human habi-tations and made to bear Its burdenin a growing civilization. Every com-munity in the land could have Itshydro-elcctrlc plant Juat as It now hasIts blacksmith shop and Its grist mill.With his storage batteries the farmerwould have a cheap substitute for hishorses, having them replenished jubtas he now goes to the blacksmith shopto lave his horses shod. Or perhapsit will oome even oloser to htm. Todaythe farmer in advanced rural commun-ities who has no telephone Is a rarity.Why not electric transmission plantsreaching every farm? There are today

Interurban railroads which sell theirsurplus current to farmers within theirterritory at less than half the cost ofhorse power. la it beyond the hopeof a century's progress to nee a thingin general use which has alreadyproved its value? As the years oomeand go farms will get smaller and menwill be forced to consider every Itemof expense and to reduce waste to theminimum. Electric power will be oneof the things to come as a result ofthis twentieth century development.

There. Is even a possibility that wiretransmission of power may be succeed-ed in thw future. Wireless telegraphylooked Impossible until within a few

And yet this Isa re'eent accomplishment. • Is not that .a wonderful first step, In the1 direction 'of the wireless transmission of power?So that after All the dream of thafarmer replenishing his storage'bat- •teries from a wireless current may yetripen Into an actuality. It Is even pos-sible that new sources of power mayyet be utilized. Who can calculate the,force with which the billows x breakupon our coasts? Someone has* in-,

vented a turbine which may be an- \u25a0

chored In midstream to catch the power,of the water as it rushes onward inthe universal Impulse to find a resting 'place as near to the center of the earthas possible. May the century notbring forth a similar method of har- Inessing tha waves as they break uponour shores? \u25a0 '-.'*.,* , '.

For generations man has dreamed ofthe utilization of the energy of thesun's rays. But It has remained forthe twentieth century to tak« thegreatest 1 step In that direction. A so-lar engine, showing three and a halfhorse-power while the «un shines hasbeen developed. So 'successful was theengine that a company has beenformed to build one In Florida to boused for commercial purposes. Is It .any greater step from this to a gen-eral utilisation of sun power than itwas from the Watt steam engine toone of the modern kind showing 10,000

horse-power? Or is it a longer dis-tance to \u25a0- travel than from Fulton'sClermont to the twentieth century ;

Lusltanla? . 'The century will bring forth new •

methods of preventing tires and offighting those which do occur. In thepast thirty-two years the tire losses ofthe United States have amounted to ;two and a half billion dollars. Themoney values thus wiped out wouldbe enough to furnish, 1,250,000 familieswith 12000 homes. Fireproof buildingswill be Imperative necessities as build-ing materials become scarcer. In thecountries of Europe furniture, even. Inthe homes of the poor, lasts for hun-dreds of years. Dovetailing and theIlka prevent it from ever falling topieces. Who would think of such,things here? It is cheaper to buy a"new paper of pins than to pick upthose scattered around. It Is cheaperto use a half dosen bedsteads . thathave been glued together than to buyone perfectly made/ It has beencheaper to rebuild a house if it hap-pened to burn down than It was tobuild a good one In the first place. Allof this argues wonderful prodigality ofresources. By the end of the centurynecessity will have caused us to evolvea plan of living on the basis of ."oncewell done, twice done." . •'.'.*>; \u25a0•

The new century will revolutionize 'warfare, and a. bold prophet Indeedis he who willtry to describe the end-of-the-century battle, if perchancebrute force is recognized at all inthose days. Already the new century,yet In its happy childhood, has givenus the noiseless gun. It has given usthe promise of airships which will beeffective In time of war. Every newyear, brings forth new inventions toadd to the bldeousness of the warmonster, and each one of them be-speaks such terrible carnage that everyhuman Impulse revolts at the thoughtEach step of progress in the scienceof war seems to make the possibilitiesof war more . remote.

The health of humanity will bo amatter of general concern In the daysthat are to come. The span of life willbe lengthened. Science will wipe outepidemics. Individual understandingof the laws of health will enable usto avoid a thousand ill«. It hi not im- jprobable that necessity willforce upon,us the Chinese way of paying our doc-tors to keep us well Instead of re-warding them for treating us when weare sick. The discovery of dirt hasbeen said to be the hygienic triumphof the nineteenth century. So has thepractice of cleanliness been • tha tri-umph of the twentieth century. Plentyof sun, plenty of pure water, plentyof pure food and of fresh air for every-body will be the order of the years tocome. Trying to keep well rather thanto cure disease will be the Individualpolicy of those days. .

The application of the discoveries ofsolence to sanitation and hygiene hasalready resulted In great Improvementof the public health. Our grandfath-ers did not dream of the science ofcleanliness as we know it today. Thegrandsons of the more enlightened'Americans of the first of the* centurywill be better and stronger men In theend of the century. When tha United •States'comes to the year 2000 with386,000,000 people, It wil bo the great-est nation of history. ' Much of the -credit for that triumph will be dueto the scientist who has made possiblethe Intimate dally communication ofthe people all over \u25a0 the broad coun- .try. who has made knowledge popular -and cheap, who Is teaching us howto be clean and healthy.
