POLICE BRUTALITY SAYS the Troy Press, an influential New York pt.ae paper, "One of the common manifestations of overnment IN many CITIES for many years has been the grass abuse of the policeman's club. Some brutes in uniform seem to take a delight in cruelly clubbing the heads of offenders. Any humane and observing on familiar with police courts and Oiouses know? how usual it is for prisoners with battered heads to be incarcerated or arraigned, espi daily where the police force is of a low order; where many members arc upon it solely through political pulls an have DO tit ness for ith responsible duties.

Tho conventional excui cowardly Clubbers are really efficient I rarely, if ever, club their prisoners. It Is always the callous and igni rant that delight in SUch brutality.

ROOSEVELT POLICIES IT is Roosevelt ism that is responsible for former President Roosevelt's popularity and for the earnestness of the preparations that are beinp made for his welcome home.

In a political relpn of terror, when grafting, predatory politicians and malefactors of great wealth were In what was tantamount to a conspiracy to enrich themselves at the expense of the and establish which would menace the- stability ef tho republic, Theodore Roosevelt, in spite of political affiliation! With a party responsible 'or many abuses, took and maintained an American stand, and with no uncertain voice declared he was the president of the American nation, and not of any party or of faction. From this position of vantage. without dan of interference by any boss or of hindrance by any political clique, and -night forward nnrl fearless, with the mass of the nation at his back, Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed the time had come for a recognition of the rights of the people of the United States and for official action to curb predatory trusts, organizations form-' 1 for purposes of exploitation, and greedy corporations that aimed control and commercialize for their own enrichment the remaining natural resources of the American nation Ills conservation policy alone would have entitled Col. Roosevelt to the confidence of the ople. Here was a statesman who actually directed public affairs from national viewpoint, and regarded the greatest pood of the at number rather than the gains that might be, piled up for a few Interests at the exp cc of the ajorlty of the people! Whether or not there be any political significance In the preparation! to welcome Col.

IlOOSevel: home, there is certainly ample proof of the abiding and abounding popularity of the evelt policies, and of tho determination of the American people to surrender not one Inch of ground grainecl in the struggle for restoration cf national rights and equal opportunities, and the abolition of special but, on the contrary, to press forward to new achievements In Americanism. EXPENSE ABIDE from other considerations, think of the enormous expense to which tin- nation is being sub- I by the trusts. To demonstrate the Illegality of the combinations is a costly process. Modern civilization is certainly lonfj-sufferinff. patient and extremely fond of talking over grievance! for hours and days and years before redrawing them.

The contrast between tii" expense, time and trouble of remedying injustice and adjusting grievance! by civilized methods and the immediate obvlousni SI of the injustices tardily remedied remind! us of the story of the Highlander who during a temporary military occupation of a Sassenagh city ill the time of the Georges was quartered in the home of a poor, hard' working widow. One day She told the soldier she had not a penny in the house, and was suing an employer for money which he said was an overcharge. "I'll 11 your bllli" said the Highlander. Draw- Ing bis sword he inarched Into til" of the offending merchant and himself tn a fine web of i loth. He gave it to the widow, remarking: is the real Justl Qeordii i Justice was invented by the lawyers and the landlords." The expense of routing conspirators against the common welfare Is as rageous as the offense of which they are guilty.

They should be made to of their own undoing. They have danced, now let them pay per. THE FILIPINOS WHAT of the Filipinos? Are wo as a nation to forget thorn? As a people are we to 1 leave them to the tender mercies of exploiters, which are cruel? Is there to be never a word of protest? Are Injustice, oppression and tyranny changed into cardinal virtues when exemplified by citizens of the United States? Is thai which we laud as i patriotism in the American to be considered treason, worthy of death, in the Filipino? The Congressional Record published remarkable speech Moorfleld Storey of Massachusetts. Not much has been said about It. No "machine" paper dared to print Said Mr.

Storey: "By force of arms we destroyed Agulnaldo's government, arbitrary, tyrannical, military. "Instead of trying to help the Filipinos build up a state, we began by destroyi Ing all that they had built. Was. our government less tyrannical, less military, less arbitrary?" A report of J. F.

Bell answers the question. He wrote: "I am now assembling in the neighborhood of 2500 men who will be used In columns of about fifty men each. I take so large a command for the purpose of thoroughly searching each ravine, valley and mountain peak for Insurgents and i for food, expecting to destroy everyi thing I find outside of town. All ablei bodied men will be killed or captured. i Old men, women and children will be sent to towns.

These people need a to leach them some good common sense; and they should have It for the good of all concerned." On 1906, Capt. Walter A. Smith Issued the following order: "All country around Masasoh, IManjulJa, Magtaeay and other sltios In that cality must be covered and everything destroyed by cutting down or by fire. All people caught in these places should bo turned over to Lieutenant Mohlcr for work. Have your men take lots of ammunition and kill everything that runs from th constabulary except women and children." Why are not the Filipinos entitled to I life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness? T.OS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 15, 3010.

STEAMSHIP LINE A proposition by private to put on a line of ships between San Francisco, San Pedro ana Panama, shows what may be expected with" the establishment of a federal line. A member of a San Francisco firm claims he can get 100,000 tons of freight a year if he can get the ships, and If a railroad can transport freight across the isthmus. A federal steamship line would find enough business to warrant its establishment; nay more, Pacific coast trade will be increased to an extent that will warrant any special provision that may be made for its accommodation or extension. It is not a question of amount of trade that confronts Pacific coast shippers; It Is a question of facilities of transportation at reasonable rates. Qrsater LOB is the metropolitan capital of one of the richest and most productive ountrlee in the world, which must find an outlet to all markets, and has practically unlimited producing, manufacturing and industrial possibilities if means are provided for it into communication with the world.

It is vain to look for voluntary relief from the railroads, whatever they may do toward Improving facilities will be done with a grudge, as the result of compulsion rather than of good will. The railroad rates policy dlscrlmagalmt Southern California, and the policy of discrimination must give pi ice to one of fair play before tl country of which Greater Los Angeles tl capital can command a squaredeal approach to the markets. At the hearing In Washington fore mmittee i Inter inic anals Senator BrlltOW stated four alternattve measures: (D To buy ships and put on a line; to let a mail contract; (Hi to charter vessels and temporarily extend the service; (4) to continue the present arrangement. He put to the secretary of war the straight question, "Whli ii one is the best?" The secretary replied, "The cheapest way would be to charter ships. If a mail contract would induce a line to set in, I think a contract ought to he It and surest way is for the government to build ships and operate thorn." Fortunately the public 'an derive encouragement from the fact the freight deadlock on the Pai Iflc is about to be broken at last.

That much seems certain. In tho sreat Increase of prosperity that will come People Should Give Direct Primary Idea a Fair Trial (Pan VARIOUS newspapers are printing articles to the effect that Senator Frank Flint will not be a candidate for re-election. For this blessing California might well be thankful. Jiut the reason given for Senator Flint's alleged backwardness to reach again for the toga is of curious interest The statement is made that under the direct primary law it becomes so expensive to run for office requiring a state-wide though made by legislative Mr. Flint does not think that ho can afford to run.

All of which is certainly important if true. The average citizen is npt to read Senator Flint's wail, put down his paper and say thing! not at all complimentary of the direct primary Idea that he wants Flint returned to the upper house of congress, but the average citizen has small sympathy with expensive election schemes. And our direct primary law makes primary elections almost as expensive as it is possible to make them. The direct primary law makes the primary election expensive, because the machine which placed Frank Flint In the United States senate wanted the primaries made expensive. The machine wanted them made expensive for two reasons: it might be easier for the machine to discourage good men from becoming primary candidates.

the people of California, muddled over the provisions of an expensive and cumbersome primary arrangement, might become disgusted Meddlesome William with a guarantee of rapid and cheap frelghtagd 1..08 Angeles will be one of the principal sharers, and the splendid of San Pedro will entertain a proportion of western trade and commerce that will make it one of the world's principal and busiest harbors. Judge Silent wants for park superintendent a man who Is "a dreamer but not a somnambulist, a poet but not a rhymester, a painter but not a dauber, an artist without a profession, modest man, not an egotist." The office of park superintendent is one of great importance. Los Angeles parks are famous, and must be kept up to their reputation and to the expectation of the people of the I'niteJ States. Dr. Lyman Abbott says there is too long a time between presidential election day and Inauguration.

He thinks the date of Inauguration should be ihanped to December 1. This would he a splendid idea If the scene of the inauguration were shifted from Washington to L.03 Angeles. Nobody can guarantee the weather In Washington on December 1, but in lovely Los Angeles It is superb. Marshall liripps. former state senator from Sacramento, says Los Angeles Is the most aggressive, and prosperous community In America and has achieved a success wit limit a parallel.

Evidently Mr, is correctly impressed by the Loi Angeles way. The best token that any one can Klve bis belief in good citizenship Is participation in public affairs by vot- Ing. You cannot vote unless you are registered. If your name is not on the register you should see to it that it is Inscribed on it without delay. Engineering work on Los Ancelos aqueduct is attracting great attention.

Kvery enterprise undertaken by this city has been successful; and the success of the aqueduct construction work is adding another laurel to a very large of triumph." I.os Angeles chamber of commerce will send a big excursion to Arizona today. I.os Angeles chamber of commerce lives up to its reputation for enterprise, energy and success. Pasadena puts on the kilts the (lay. Hooch! Star). witli tiie direct primary Idea, become convinced that the principle la Impracticable, and finally consent to go back to the old corrupt convention system.

To this end we have the wail on behalf of Frank Flint. Bul the fact should not he. lost light of that the machine is responsible lor the present form of the direct primary law. It ill becomes a man who has been honored ai the machine has honored Frank Flint to complain of a law that the machine has made too, largely in Senator Flint's interest. But of Sonator Flint It might well bo said In this instance, "He doth protest too much." Jf the powers decide that Flint shnll return to the United States senate, the dollar and cent incidentals the direct primary law won't prevent his candidacy.

Aa for the citizen, he should not lose night of the fact that a machine-sane- tioned direct primary law Is not necessarily a fair expression of the dl reet primary idea. Indeed, the chances are BtrODgly against its being so. The direct primary idea Is one thing, the machine direct primary law is quite another. It is up to the people of California to give the direct primary Idea fair trial. This the machine does not propose the direct primary idea shall have.

Nor will it have until the control of the state legislature is taken out of machine hands. Until this be done the work of making good principles unpopular through the passage of laws curiously twisted to that end will continue on merrily.

COMPULSORY IDLENESS IS CAUSE OF SLUM PROBLEM LOS ANGELKS, March Your paper has lately been devoting a great deal of apace to "prison reform" and the "alum" questions and the way to abolish these evils.

I feel, Mr. Editor! that all this talk la futile ami useless, as the cause of there being both prisons and slums is idleness. Not willful Idleness and a disinclination to work, Inn a compulsory idleness, because the labor market is overstocked and the man who is willing to work and can find no work to do is loath to accept charity. Here is the beginning of the slum and then the prison. Provide work for all men and you will abolish the slum and reduce the prison inmates to the number that should actually be those who are degenerates and cannot safely be any other place.

Judge Works was right when he said that the slums were plague spots, of immorality, disease and crime, and that from a mercenary standpoint it was good business to abolish them. But the good judge stops there, and what we are to do with the occupants of the slums he does not say. Are we to hang them or imprison tin in or deport them because their menus are to small that they are compelled to live in the cheapest tenements they can find and exist on the slender pittance which thej can scrape together by hook or crook? There are thousands and tens of thousand! of acres of Idle right here in California which is oapab supporting thousands of people in comfort and reducing greatly the cost of living if those who live in the cities could bo placed upon It to make It productive. Hut. us in all other capital in needed to purchaee the land and Implement! and stock, and capital Is what the people of tlie shuns lack.

If Rockefeller or Carnegie want to do real let them set aside a fund of 1100,000 to put Inn families from the slums onto farms where they can support themaelvee in comfort and in a few years pay back to the fund every dollar they drew out. Then another family can use that same money to xt onto a farm also, with a certainty of a good living and a home for old age. A. J. DICKBRMAN.

CONTENDS LABOR ALONE CAN BUILD AND OPERATE PLANT OCEAN PARK, March in The Herald February L'. T. il. answer! my contention that large Industrie! tan be conducted without capital, ami uses the iteel industry to illustrate his point and to show where my position is wrong. The Illustration would have been very good had lie not forgotten to insert the point.

Now, Mr. T. to he brief, let us suppose you arc the capitalist with $25,000,000 who built, equipped and put In operation the iteel plant to which you refer, it may be in order to ask how you came to possess so much wealth. Your answer is immaterial. You did not get it by any productive process.

Voti did not earn It. It represents $25,000,000 worth of labor that increased the commodities of the commonwealth by that amount. Since you did not work for it, but by unproductive the exploitation of this amount of the medium of exchange, and have become so accustomed to think along capitalistic lines of doing things, perhaps you really believe there is no other way. J3ut let us consider. You say "under his theory the laborer (1 presume you meant the laborers) who erect the plant and manufacture the machinery lor equipment could not receive any pay until the plant had been In successful operation for several years." Why not? While you were building this plant, did you raise sheep, clip the fleece and weave It Into cloth and make your garments? Did you raise the, potatoes you ate, Or did others do those useful thing's while you were manufacturing hoes, shovels, plows and other Implements for them to use, that they might supply you with the things you had to have or die? In my former letter 1 spoko of intelligent co-operation as a means of accomplishing results.

In the construction of your steel plant thousands of men, women and children, representing Lhasa, The Hermit City Frederic J. Haskin HWV. recent flight of the prand lams Of Lhasa from Ti'wt to India, pursued by a band of Chinese soldiers, probably mnrks the end of one of the most remarkable religious- political dynasties in the history of Asia. What the pope nt Koine Is to Christianity, thai was the grand lama of Lhasa to Buddhism. For generatlons Lhasa remained In Impenetrable mystery, a populous little city, Inhabited mainly by "priests, women and dogs." No foot of Infidel foreigner was permitted to tread its uncanny streets.

It known to civilization as Lhasa, the forbidden city of gold and turquoises, and such a weird fascination attended i 11 mysteries as to excite the spirit of adventure In many bold explorers and Investigators, Bui If the city was a mystery to the outside mystery that could be penetrated by no. amount of daring and personality of the grand lama was even more of an enigma. His name even was unknown to man. He was the Incarnation of God's will on earth. Shreds of his clothing wore sold at great prices toward the maintenance of his mysterious citadel.

Even his spittle and his nail parings were subjects of commerce represented to be a specific for all diseases if used In the "proper" spirit. The flight of the Brand lam." to British protection Is the culmination of a series of events running back several generations. About 1720 Tibet had a civil war which It could not settle, ojid the Chinese emperor was appealed to. He sent an army Into Tibet, put down the Insurrection, and then proceeded to exercise suzerainty over the Him layan nation. Two Chinese representatives were stationed at Lhasa, and although the grand lama and his lieutenants were permitted to rule, the Chinese Ambans assumed to be the power behind the throne.

Things progressed in thin fashion. with frequent unimportant clashes of authority, until I POD. Prior to this the English and the Russians had both endeavored to get surveys i Tihet, for It was the middle ground over Which they would have to flfrht if they should clash for supremacy In Asia. The Entrlisli secured rather accurate surveys hy the use of Mongolian surveyors, who carried their eorrpasaes in their prayer wheel? and used their rOSaiies to keep their counts of paces. One of these, Naln Pinp.

reached the Hermit city and got a look at the grand lama. He found that one of the tutors of the living Buddha was a naturalized Ruslaan who had acquired such influence that the grand lama was persuaded open negotiations for an alliance with Russia. This had pone so far that a personal audience had been arranged between the czar and the representative of the jp-aml lama, and the cushion of gold upon which the latter would sit When conferring With the rzar had been sent ahead to Pt. Petersburg. When the KtiKlish learned of these negotiations they resolved that Russia should not he permitted to have such an advantage In the political fitjht for the mastery of Asia.

They tried to get In touch with the prand lama to arrange a treaty, hut no foreigner was allowed on Tibetan soil. The grand lama nn edict that nny Tibetan who let a foreigner pass without kiiiini? him should pay the penalty with his own life. Negotiations by correspondence also failed. China was unable, or at least declared herself unable, to bring the Brand lama to terms, no England decided to send an expedition to Lhasa to demand a treaty peace ami friendly trade relations. The grand lama heard of its coming and fled.

leaving his palace to the control of his subordinates. In August, IMM. the English in Lhasa, explored the mysterious city, and. even in the abeei the grand lama, forced the desired treaty, After they left the grand lama decided if would he hest for him not to turn nt on. Tibet, so he traveled through Asia, becoming a sort royal sponger, whose entertainment cost his hosts about $8000 day.

In IMS he reached Peking-, remained awhile with the royal family thpre. and then returned to Tibet. The grand lama was stubborn in his hatred of foreign Influe at hi- capital, and nfter his return decided to put a check to the power of the Chinese Ambann. Tt was this thai led china to drive him out Of Tibet. It is said that China intends to dlsp-l the Idea that Tibet Is a closed i ervatlon fur the lupport of the religious dynasty of l.atnaisin.

Heretofore of the people in Lhasa, 20,000 all kinds of labor, from the coal miner to the most skillful artisan, directly and indirectly, contributed to the ruecess of y.mr enterprise, and thai was CO-operatlon In the lace of competition. Do you think there could he no higher aidmus for efficient effort the mere doling out Of a sop of their And for their Inspiration they might see you rolling In luxuries, the product of their toll, for which you gave nothing, not a penny.

PITY EXPRESSED FOR PERSON WHO SIGNS "A LADY" LOS ANGELES, March Having read with much pleasure your public Letter Box I feel compelled to say a word or two, although heretofore have not contributed. The article written and signed by "A Lady" actually hurt me, it seems so unjust. Wo all know thcro is iin undefinable difference in people. Kvery action, even the tone of the voice, will purtray the inequality of mind, but we also know that work has nothing to do with either in the present generation or the one before, and a gentle bred person does not have to wear a badge, as it is easily discernible to most people who they behind the counter serving you or before it, being waited upon; if they plow the soil or ride In an auto.

Marriage li a family affair. when a man marrlei the eldest daughter of a family all her sisters become his wlvee, and when a woman marrlea a man all of nil brothers are also wedded to her. Children are awarded to their father In a peculiar way.

Tiio lirst child is assigned to the first the second child the second husband, and so on down the lino. The women of Lhasa an' said to ho the ugliest in the world.

(i- M- SYSTEM OF GREAT WEALTH BREEDS MANY WEARY WILLIE9 EAGLE ROCK, March A correspondent, while handing me a bouquet (which I appreciate). Has.

hinted that i hava fallen Bhort Of the goal because 1 have DOt attacked "private property." 1 wouia UK, to make my position clear in regard to that. I believe in private property, the kind that is mostly found within, and in close proximity to the four walls of the place we call home it is becausi 1 believe that everyone should have an equal opportunity to acquire kind of private property that I am what I am. Hut I do not believe In a system that enables a. to accumulate "an unlimited amount of private property, and by this meana extort unearned tribute from the creators of wealth. 1 believe that such a system results in producing an enormous lot of Bill Bykei, Pagans and Weary Willies at the bottom and a less numerous but more expensive aggregation of Harry Thaws Count Bouts and other gentlemen at the top of society.

I believe the above is the kind of luxuries common people cannot afford, and that tho system that produces such effects is tho sole cause of tho high cost of living us well as of the poor quality of living. That this system is an utter failure and falls to bring real happiness to anyone would appear to bo conclusively proved when its greatest beneficiary feels compelled to offer a million dollars to anyone who will rehabilitate an overworked stomach and to employ seven abie-bodied ex- Mcrel service men to protect his valuable body from real or fancied danger.
