the office he now holds and to which he
aspires again, to rule you according to
his will. and in direct and positive dis
obedience to your own. We, therefore,
ask YOUR careful attention to plain
statement of the case, your dispassion-
ate Judgment thereon and your patriotic
condemnation OF the offender. The Sun
day closing of saloons has been live
issue in this city for months and months
past, and every time it's friends and op-
ponents have measured strength, Sunday
closing has had majority, and the larger
the number who could be got to ex-
press themselves on the question, the
larger was the majority favorable to the
measure. Thus, out OF II 1888 who petit
toned the council, the majority for Sun
day closing was 2l37; and out of 6777
votes cast at the last election, there was
a majority the same way of 5S3. 1t is
believed, and apparently with good rea-
son, that ii the entire $4,000 voters in
the city could be brought to vote on it,
the majority in favor of Sunday closing,
now that the reasonableness of the meas.
ure and the moderation of its advocates
have become better known, would
be nearly or quite 1000; but
be that as it may, the question was sub
mitted to you and majority decided in
favor OF Sunday closing. The council,
Immediately after ascertaining this fact,
by count of the votes, passed an ordi-
nance to carry your will into effect. The
mayor, however, decides to veto it. You
decided that the saloons shall be closed
on Sunday; the mayor says they shall
not. He is a candidate for reelection.
We respectfully ask every voter to join
with us in rebuking this grave offense
against free government, this affront to
the majority of legal voters of the city.
To whatever party you belong, patriot-
the men who, by their action and
policy. seek to make void the will OF the
people.
We present as candidate for mayor
to your consider alton as electors a man
who embodes in himself the courage
and integrity to carry out the will OF the
majority when expressed. That man is
John Shirley Ward.
There will be furnished G0,000 ballots
with the name of John Shirley Ward
printed thereon for mayor. OF these,
except for the name OF John Shirley
Ward, 10000 will be the straight Repub-
lican ticket; 10000, with the same one
exception, the straight Democratic
ticket, and the last 10000 the Reform
ticket, headed by John Shirley Ward as
candidate for mayor.
As to the nominee for mayor by the
late Democratic convention, we are as
sured that the respectable elements OF
that party are desirous of his defeat.
Mr.. Ward has lived in Los Angeles
four years and in Southern California
fifteen years, is a taxpayer in this city,
is man of fine natural ability, and has
the perfect health of mind and body to
enable him to discharge to your satisfac-
ton, we believe, the important duties of
mayor. We confidently commend him
to your support.

To the Voters of Los Angeles.

The crowning glory OF our country,
that which makes it light to all the
nations of the earth, is that here, in
very truth, the people rule. Yet here
in our city, today, this vital principle of
all free. government is assailed and the
peoples will, deliberately expressed
with all the formalities prescribed by
law. is openly defed.
@Majorities decide who are the people.
and minorities must submit or free gov
ernment is at an end. TO the decision
of the people, in the recent election on
Sunday closing of saloons, obedience is
refused by the mayor of our city, who
boldly declares his purpose, by virtue OF

Where Our Tea Comes from.

China supplied 81 per cent. of the tea
supply of the world in 1864 and India 3
per cent. but in 1888 China stood at 43
per cent. and India at 81 per cent. In
1921 the tea plant was discovered grow
ing wild in Assam, and in 1884 the In
dian government caused experiments to
be made by bringing the plants from
China and cultivating them, and it was
not until 1854 that tea plantations were
opened up. There are now 100000 i'm
ported laborers working 1000 tea gar
dens in the province OF Assam.
There are four other places where tea
is raised, and the growing possibilities
OF India are unlimited. The Chinese
find that they cannot compete by the
old methods, and they are building rail
roads and taking steps to lessen the ex-
port tax. 1t looks now as if India were
too far ahead to be outdone by China

MIRAFLORES.
A Pretty Name for Pretty and Prosper
Gus Place.

Gus Place.
H. d. Polhemus OF Mirahores was in the
city yesterday. He reports things to be
very prosperous in that pretty place with
so pretty name. He had pretty substan-
tial proofs that he was stating facts as
they exist; for he exhibited check for
snug sum of money, the purchase price
of forty-acre tract at his place. The
beauty of this sale is that it was made
to M. L. Smith of Florida, who seems to
be transferring his affections to Southern
California. He is an old nurseryman
from the state of swamps and alli
gators, who comes here to the
matchless semi tropics to engage
in walnut culture and who selects
Mirafiores as the place OF his choice.
Mr.. Polhemus has sold within the week
another 40-acre tract, adjoining Mr..
John Hanna's place, which will also be
set to walnuts.
Mirahores is two miles due south of
the center of Anaheim. The Southern
Pacific has station there, and trains
both ways stop. The Santa Fe passes
through the place, and will establish
station soon. 1t is in the irrigation dis
trict. and will get plenty of water
from the Anaheim ditch. No wonder
land sells there, when it is known
that $75 an acre is the price asked for
the best. Some of this land last year
produced 125 sacks an acre of spuds;
that is about 150iscentals to the acre,
which sold for 81 to $1.25 per GENITAL, or
at $3.50 to $lS7.50 per acre, or twice the
cost of the land.
The grapevines at Mirafores are do
ing well, there being no sign OF disease
about them. Walnut trees, five years
in orchard, have yielded good crop
there.

HAS CRANK BOUGHT 1T?
Rumors That the Cable Company Have
the Pico Street Road.

1t was stated on pretty good authority
yesterday, that the Pico street electric
road would soon be transferred to the
Los Angeles cable company; that nego-
tiations to that end were being carried
on with Mr.. Crank, OF the latter COM
pany.
Manager Hentig, of the Pico-street
company, denied this story to HERALD
reporter yesterday, but all the same it
may turn out to have some foundation.
Mr.. Hentig, when asked why his road
had not been opened for business. said
that it was because the switches had, by
some mistake, been omitted from the
material shipped to them, and until
they arrived nothing could be done.

BE UP ana Doing.

''Tell me not in mournful numbers
Life is bnt an empty dream"
The poet wrote well. Don't mournfully
whine and say life is but an empty dream.
1t is too terribly real to those battling with
it in earnest. 1t is an every day contest
which only ends with our death.
"For the soul is dead that slumbers
And things are not what they SEEM"
Of course the soul is dead that can
slumber in the stirring affairs of the present
day. and no intelligent man can exist who
does not know that things are not what
they seem. Troubles fly to mists when
bravely met. Mountains dwindle into
mole-hills when approached. Wealth
turns suddenly to poverty. Fittings are
not what they SEEM"
Life is real. life is earnest.
And the grave is not its goal"
The poet simply wrote down solid fact
when he said life was earnest. From the
cradle to the grave it is one earnest effort
to live. 1t is real. not a phantom; sub.
stantiality based upon bread and butter. and
human beings must struggle to get these ell
ements of existence. But then. as the poet
says. this is not all of life. Beyond the
grave the soul lives, and the soul is the real
man.
dust thou art. to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul"
OF course not. The soul is the invisiblity
of man. The material element is but the
worldly covering of the body; that goes to
dirt; the real essence of life, indeed life
itself, lives forever.
''In the worlds great field of battle.
In the bivouac of life."
The first line of this couplet sounds like the
march of regiment of soldiers and paints
almost instantly the great world as it is.
We are on field of battle fighting for exis-
tence. the bigger and stronger eating up the
weaker and smaller and every day hundreds
of noble souls, too effeminate to cope with
brute force, pass silently behind the curtain
of the future.
'Be not like dumb, driven cattle
Be hero in the strife"
These two lines are the eliminating
power of the poets poem. Whatever else
may occur, however discOnsolate you may
be, however rich or however poor, how
ever weak or however strong. however
brave or however timid-
"Be not like dumb, driven cattle
Be hero in the strife"
Have mind of your own. Think for
yourselves. Mark out your own course. BE
INDIvIDUALIZED. Allow no man to drive
you. Assert your independence: and then,
above and beyond all, ''be HERO in the
strife" Don't sit at the base of the hill of
success, or fame, or worldly gain, and as
sert in advance that you can't climb it's
heights. GO UP 1T. All about you In the
world is moving. Get into the crowd and
elbow your way through. ''Be a HERO
in the strife. 1T. M. Newson, in Midway

Then he listened; and as he listened, lis

Rev. Tom Dixon's Lecture.

That was a fine audience which
greeted Rev Thos. Dixon in the OPP
era House Tuesday night. 1t was
one of the largest and best we have
seen there in a long time.
They went there expecting to hear
fine lecture from Rev. Thos.
Dixon, and they heard it. Nobody
was disappointed. Everybody was
pleased, and they now understand
why he has won such a high place at
the North.
His lecture was on Backbone"
and for over an hour he literally
poured out fun and philosophy. He
believes in sterling manhood and his
thoughts were inspiring. 9ia
We can not give resume of that
lecture Its beauty would be spoiled
by attempting to put it on paper, SO
we will quote what DR.. Kingsbury, of
the Wilmington Messenger, says of
the lecturer. 1t so well expresses
our own views that we appropriate it.
'sHe is not an orator in the ordina-
ry sense. He is eloquent sometimes.
But it is in description, in drollery,
in illustra ton, in caustic fun that he
is most successful. His lecture Was
excellent. 1t was positively the most
interesting lecture we ever heard. 1t
was amusing and entertaining as a
good comedy could have made the
hour. And. this too by one man-he
is man all through-and less than
thirty. Na
We feel proud of Mr.. Dixon as a
native of our State. He is a man of
rare and singular promise. If he
lives he will attain to a name that
will ling over the continent and be-
come as familiar as household
words y
