WOMAN AT THE POLLS,

The reasons why the Republicans cars
ried Colorado are becoming manifest.
1t appears that the state was colonized
by representative Republican workers
and managers from various parts of the
land, including that prince of schemers,
J. S. Clarkson, ex-chairman of the na'
tional Republican committee.
The latter claims that he 'cams to
Denver purposely to spend the election
day and see for himself the bearing OF
women as voters, the effect OF their
presence at the polls. the effect of the
crowd on them, and the part they would
take in the contest and how they would
appear and act while doing it,"
Olarkson was not the only political
missionary that "came to Denver pur-
posely," not only to "apend the election
day." but several preceding days, for
the purpose of converting backslidden
voters through the various mesns of
grace go we'll known to Washington wire.
pullers and bribe givers.
IT sounds very plausible to the unin-
itatsd TO hear Mr.. Clarkson proclaim
that he "came 60 Denver purposely" to
see how the uncaged American woman
would demean herself in the simple
process of expressing her choice on bits
of white paper as to the question of who
should represent her in the creation and
execution of laws to which she is no
less subject than men. Nobody except
an idiot or depraved politician who,
like Clarkson. has corrupted the elec-
tion franchae and aided in degrading

THE annual report of Eugene Cham
berlain, commissioner of navigation, is
q powerful argument in favor of free
chips. 1t shows that only six Ameri.
can steamships crossed the Atlantic last
year. while but seven crossed the Pa
ciic. In 80 years only one American
steamship has visited Hamburg. the
greatest port of continental Europe.
Every bushel of grain which left New
York fer Europe last year was carried
under foreign flag. OF 11,000 vessels
passing the Suez canal In the past three
years only ak have been American. Mr..
chamberlain declaree that American
enterprise ia century in advance of
the registry law. for Americans own
more steamships forbidden by the law
to fly American colors than they own
steamships il foreign trade under the
Stars and Stripes. He inaists that the
admission of such vessels to American
registry is desirable to advance Ameri-
can maritime rank.

Charles H. Phillips, the San Luis Obit.

the Chino ranch, in San Bernardino
county.
When seen last night by reporter for

that some errors had been made by the
press regarding the purchase.
He stated that the cost of the prope rty,
which comprises Al 900 acre OF the best
beet land in the state, was actually ST.

anyone else was interested in the pur-
chase.

The Germans have : proverb which
reads: ''Bist Du Gott, 20 helfs Dir

The truth contained therein was con-
ceived BY the wine growers and dealers
OF this state, who. on account Of the pre-
yailing low prices in wines were losing
instead Of making money. After many
iruitlese attempts they at last succeeded
In forming the Dry Wine trust in the
north and the Sweet Wine trust in the
south, comprising about 10000, 900 gal
Ions or two-thirds Of the entire pro-
duct.
The moment these corporations were

IT LOOKS as If the American Railway
union will be avenged st last upon the
anginesre who refused to aid them in
the strike of last July. The Southern
Pacific proposes to cut the wages of its
employees 20 per cent. which means
rate of about So day for engineers now
receiving upwards of $3.50 month. The
engineers are powerless to make resist-
ancs unless the fremen and the men,
bsrs OF the A. R. q. assist them. If the
A. r. U. is inclined to be revengeful
they will refuse to stand with the engi-
nesrs, and the latter will bs compelled
TO take the bitter doss they gave
the A. R. U. On the other hand,
if they desire to make reprisal
upon the corporation they will join
the engineers and tie up the traffic
company as thsy did los. summer. Dur.

They Don't Want . Road.

The Los Angeles HERALD, speaking of the San
Francisco, STOCKTON and San joaquin railway,
says
The business communities of Stockton, Fres-
no. Baker6ed and intermediate towns are a
unit In favor of the road; but those who will
reap the largest beneft-the business en- OF
San Francisco who will derive the biggest
profits from its completion-are only think
inc" of bui ding competing road into the
widest area OF productive country in Califor-
MIA Some of these business mel sre SO co val :
ly that when they do su bscribe small amount
of money to the enterprise, conditional on an
aggregate subscription Auficlent to complet,
the road, they insist that their names shall not
be made public.
That is the way the mona action of San Fran
cisco is looked upon. not only in Los An
geles, but all over the country. Can nothing
stir our public men, our merchants and prop
erty owners, 10 &C ion? Why not try whether
the popular plan won't accomplish something?

Ye have kept back from labor its need,
Ye have challenged the outcasts to battle,

Than your gains and your idols Of gold.

And your judges eat grass like the OK;
For the prayers of this poor have assembled

Tho Bible IL Prohibited.

A very able writer on the Bees staff yeste--
day claimed that, If the Bible is to be rerd in

other religion should be given an opportunity
turn and turn about He stopped too short in
his argument. If the Bible is to be read in the
common schools, not only is the guiding book
of every other religion on the face Of the globe
entitled to the anne consideration, but day
should be set apart for the reading of extracts
from the works of Thomas Paine and Robert
G, Ingersoll. This nation is not Christian
country any more than tits a Jewish, q Mo-
hammedan, Buddhist or an infidel country.
The reading Of the Bible in the common
schools is strictly prohibited by the laws of this
state. The sooner the board of education and
the school superintendent give orders to the
teachers that the laws must be obeyed, and the
Bible must not be used in the schools, the
quicker will the common schools OF the capi-

A Wholesome Eek ample.

According to q Los Angeles exchange. the
citizens of the southwest part OF that city have
organized themselves into an association for
the purpose of obtaining improvem snts in
Streets as regards grading, lighting water and
sewer service. as well as for the more sym.
metrtcal arrangement of private property, such
as the building of fences, the grading OF lots,
the planting OF trees and shrubbery. About
100 members have been secured in the brief
time the matter has been under consideration,
and weekly meetings are held. This Is in line
with the Unions suggestions for the formation
OF local improvement society. Such enter
prise alWays results in the adornment OF the
streets and avenues and the marked improve
ment OF the appearance of the locality where
efforts are put forth. The southwestern part of
Los Angeles is already noted for its attractive
homes its well-kept yards and shaded. avenues,
but the people are determined to make it SILL
more pyrfect as place OF residence. 1t would
pay San Diego to take this matter of municipal
improvement to heart, for the need of such en-.
terprises is painfully apparent here. and par
ticularly SO to those who come here from other
places where better conditions prevail.

Pasadsna Means Businsss.
From The Pasadena Star.


It may be convenient in discussing the ques-
ii on of the Southern Pacific franchise to ignore
the petition Of the many business men whose
names were published in yesterdays Star, but
the names arc there, just the same. They
signed O request to the council that before the
proposed franchise il sold tho company bs re-
quired to settle damages with property owners
by arbitration or compromise. The reasonable
ness Of this request is its strongest recon-
meudation and II ts strange that 1t should be
so strenuously resisted. How can the company
be cinched or bled by the decree OF board OF
impartial arbitrators2 II this franchise to bs
held In such light esteem by the city that the
company is to be allowed to have 1t over pub
lie street for the mere asking? Mr.. Muir, 1t is
said. has been called to San Francisco
by Mr. Huntington to consult ON the
subject and the latter conveys the information
that he will not accept the franchise in Its
present form. with the conditions attached;
The present form of the franchise was agreed to
by Mr.. Muir himself, II we mistake not and
what else he wants is not clear. The point OF
the whole contention Is that no franchise In
any form be sold until the property owners on
the street be secured in their undoubted rights
There is no argument on the simple question OF
the railroad coming into the city, and when any
attempt 10 made to show that the road Is being
kept out by factious or unreasonable opposi-
tion, the sympathy thus soug hit to be created is
OF too cheap kind to pass muster. II the

busiaess'ltke and fair basis, the way is clear.

The Mortgage Habit.

Members of the supervisors Convention,
which has been held in Los Angeles during the
past week, displayed considerable friendliness
toward the proposition to amend the
state constitution and repeal the mortgage tax.
We cannot say that we have yet seen any con-
vincing argument in favor of the proposition.
The law does not make the lender of money pay
the taxes upon it. as the authors of the arrange
ment (but no one else) expected it would, for
h. lender adds the probable amount of the tax
fixing his rate of interest; but it has had the
effect of stopping loud cry of discomfort, and

have become used to the exi sting methods of
taxation by 15 years experience with them.
