The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
In the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
solve me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
nv children and / take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light: send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.
We have complete stock Of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

And sadness bears me down,

Somewhere she rides today
With another ut her side,
Chatting in her blissful way
And laughing as they ride.

She's gone with him because he rides
A wheel with ninety gear.

pend on the whim of lot Of men who
have interests directly opposed to US.
If the sentiment in favor of state d.
vision grows so strong that it's pressure
can be no longer withstood. then the
people of Northern California will have
but themselves to blame for it. With
the right kind of treatment meted out 10
our public institutions, to our prominent
men. and to our general and special In
terests by the citizens of the north, the
feeling in favor of state division Will
slumber for many years to come, but
unless this is done, we will not be sur
prised to find a strong and irrepressible
demand made for the creation of the new
state of South California, or-of the state
of Los Angeles, by the end of the CEN

STATE DIVISION

There is quite well-defned feeling in
some quarters in Southern California
favoring a division of the state, and it
crops out occasionally in a manner which
betokens great earnestness on the part
of those who favor it. At first glance,
it seems as though no one but traitor
to California would ever harbor such a
feeling, but many things are done by
the citizens of the northern part of the
state, possibly unintentionally, which
furnish basis for this feeling.
Up to within very few years, Southern
California apparently had no rights
which the balance of the state would
respect. We have had one governor of
the state only, elected as such, and we
have our first United States senator. 1t
is true that our population was not very
large up to five years ago, and we prob
ably had as many political honors as we
were entitled to on that score, but the
feeling of our people has been that we
were not getting our due share of recog-
milton from the balance of the state.
The Legislature now, in its closing days.
has just furnished another example of
the feeling which apparently exists in
the north against everything which the
south wants. Several bills were intro
duced, asking for state aid toward max
ing an exhibit of our products at expo
sitons to be held in this country and
Europe. The bills were recognized by
the members as coming from Southern
California, and it was believed that this
end of the state would be benefited more
largely than the northern portion by the
passage of such bills. and San Francisco
voted solidly against them. If Califor-
mia is represented at all at Nashville, at
Omaha or in Paris, it will be by the per-
sonal efforts and at the expense of citi-
zens of Southern California alone.
There are citizens of Southern Cali
forna who believe that the state should
be cut in two, because by so doing we
would have two representatives in the
United States senate and a consequent
hope to obtain otherwise; and for the
further fact that If we were an indepen-
dent state, our legislation would be en-
tirely for our benefit, and would not de-

To HELD Unemployed Women

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her
aid: 1t makes ones heart ache to think
of the destitute women and children In
this land of plenty. And it is good to
know that something is being done py
some of the more fortunate women TO
help them. But there is much more 10
be done, for the want Is great.
Many of us would like to do much
more than we can for them. and nave
thought of one way in which those who
have not much money or time to give
car help the unemployed women-tnat
is by giving what work they have to hire
to them instead of to Cinnamon.
Very many ladies' in moderately COM
Portable circumstances give their laun-
dry work to Cinnamon. How mucn
better it would be to give 1t to some

Perhaps it will cost somewhat more, but
surely we ought to be willing to pay
more, and help our countrywomen and
their helpless little ones.
But looking at it from selfish stand-
point, If need be, the Cinnamon do not
as a rule wash the clothes as clean.

FRIDAY. nARcH II. 1907.
AMERICAN CITIZENS ABROAD

Not so very many years ago when our
navy had commodores as its highest IT,
tied officers an incident occurred which
caused, the American citizens of that
day to thrill with satisfaction. A GER
tain Hungarian leader of the great re-
volt against the old Austrian tyranny
had become naturalized American cit
izen. In the course of years he visited
and for some time remained in Smyrna.
1t was a business affair in which he
successfully competed with some who
had influence at the Turkish capital.
This opposition cabal procured the
Austrians to arrange with the Turks
to seize the ex-leader of the Hungarian
patriots for his political work against
Austria. Two Austrian frigates were
sent to Smyrna The American citizen
was seized on the streets and placed in
chains on one of the imperial men-of
war.
The American consul was a man of
strong character He did three things:
He sent protest to the Turkish Off
cials. This was absolutely ignored. He
cent a protest and request for the
release of the American to the Austrian
commander. This officer sent back an
insulting refusal.
And third, the consul sent a messen-
ger to the next anchorage beyond
Smyrna to Commodore Decatur on the
American frigate ST. Louis, giving the
facts and asking for his aid to influence
the Austrians to release the Ameri-
can.
Decatur started that evening and ar
rived off Smyrna the next morning The
gallant commodore double-shotted his
guns, ran them out of the ports for act
ion and called the crew to quarters.
With every man ready at his post, the
guns loaded, the flag flying, Decatur
sailed in between the two utterly as
founded Austrians. He sent an officer
to the Austrian commander, presented
Alc SOhiPliiilCAeo oiiQ POllttly
the return of the American citizen held
on the Austrian man-of-war. Decatur
added that if the American citizen was
not on his deck within five minutes he
would blow the Austrian out of the wa
ter.
The American citizen was liberated
and stood under his chosen flag within
the five minutes. The American people
feel that their citizenship should be re-
spected They would glory in a few
such incidents.
In this sentiment there is a proper
national pride. The citizens in this
country. however, should not forget
some very embarrassing features of our
system of naturalization. The gener-
Gus reception by our republic of those
who choose to join us has unfortunately
been at times abused. 1t has in some
cases been used by foreigners for the
sole purpose Of maintaining a residence
in their native country free from the
duties which they would otherwise have
been obliged to render to that country.
In some eastern countries and perhaps
Elsewhere American naturalization pa
pers have been forged and have been
the subject of barter and sale In less
glaring cases foreign-born men have
visited this country and honestly re-
mained here long enough to obtain nat
uralization papers and have then re-
turned to and remained in their native
land, the only difference in their true
status being that they have on their re-

THE CALLED JADES

If there were no foundation for the
Examiners charge of corruption in the
legislature, senators and assemblymen
should have paid no attention to it, but
since they feel that their honor is in
danger. they will pardon the public If it
entertains a suspicion that the Examin-
er struck very warm trail. The fact
of the matter is, the official conduct of
most of the Republican members of the
legislature has been disreputable
throughout. There have been Jobs and
jobs, and the state has been deeply dis
graced. There seemed to be but one
purpose when the session opened, and
that was to feather individual nests.
Senator Morehouse has made himself
conspicuous above most of his fellow
senators because of his border-ruffian
methods to prevent honest investigation
of charges of fraud and corruption. 1t
may be that the Examiner was not well
advised in its charges of bribery, but
the boisterous and knock-down-and-
drag-out argument of senators does not
meet, much less refute, the charge. On
the contrary, the treatment which the
Examiner has received at the hands of
the senate goes long way to prove
that the Examiner was hitting danger
ously close to the mark.

CHANGES IN THE DUTIES AND COM
PENSATION OF JUDGES
AND CLERKS.

Here it may be noted again that ink
and pens must not be supplied in the
booths, soft black lead pencils only being
permitted to be used by the voter in
marking his ballot; and that for each
polling place a pair of scissors must be
provided.
Before giving a ballot to the voter the
judge must not only place his own in
itials on it, as heretofore, but he must
write with ink, in the upper right hand
corner, the poll-list number Of the voter
to whom he gives 1t. When the ballot
Is returned, unless the vote has been
challenged, the Judge must clip off this
poll-list number before depositing the
ticket in the ballOt-box. If he does this
in a way to mark the ballot for future
recognition, or in any way marks the
ballot so that it may be identified, he
is liable TO both fine and Imprisonment.
The last change to be noted is in the
provision for the compensation of judges
and clerks In the even numbered years,
in which State, county and township
officers are voted for, judges and clerks
are to receive 50 for the first rs votes or
less, and 81 additional for each addi-
tional 100 votes, or major fraction
thereof. In the odd years, like this, and
in city elections, the compensation Is
$3.50 for each $50 votes or less, and an
additional so cents for each additional
100 votes or major fraction thereof.

CHANGES AFFECTING THE SECRE-
TARY OF STATE, COUNTY
CLERKS AND PRINTERS.

OlAILISTA0 AMI Il IIklIN hINkJs
Tickets for the State or for districts
larger than county must be filed with
the Secretary of State at least forty days
before election, and county and town
ship tickets with the County Clerk at
least thirty days before election. With
drawals must be filed with the Secretary
of State not less than thirty days, and
with the County Clerk not less than
twenty days before election.
Objections to any nomination Certifl-
cate or paper must be made within three
days Of the fling Of the papers. Here
tOfore there has been no time limit. In
the State the hearing must be within
five days; in the county within three
days after the filing Of the objection. All
mandamus or injunction proceedings to
compel an officer to certify names to go
on the ballot or restrain him from GER
tifying must be begun not less than
twenty days before election.
State and district nominations must
be certified by the Secretary of State to
County Clerks not less than twenty days
before election.
In short, all dates are moved about
ten days earlier in order to give the
County Clerks and printers more time
to prepare and print the ballots.
The provision requiring the County
Clerk to publish the form Of the ballot
in two newspapers in the county is re-
pealed. The County Clerk no longer
makes the contract with the printer
for the ballots, but it is done by the
County Commissioners, the same as for
other county printing.
The maximum price to be paid for
printing is fixed by the new new law at
$40 per 1000 in even numbered years, if
there are not more than four tickets on
the ballot, and $1.50 additional per 1000
for each additional ticket. In the odd
numbered years the price is SIS per 1000
when there are not more than four
tickets on the ballot, and 81 additional
per 1000 for each additional ticket.
The number of tickets to be printed
is fixed at seventy-five for each fifty
votes, instead of 100 as before, and an
equal number must be held in reserve.
The number of votes cast in the last
preceding election governs, except in
cities, where the registration is the
basis of computation.
The Clerk must arrange the tickets
in the order of strength of the various
parties at the last election, and then
follow with petition tickets, in the Or
der of the number of petitioners.
Ballots must be printed with double
lines at least One-sixteenth of an inch
apart between tickets.
The old law required the names OF
candidates to be printed in letters not
less than one-eighth nor more than one
fourth of an inch in length. The min
mum was just large enough to shut out
ordinary long primer capitals, which is |
The type usually most abundant in a
country office; and the figures have been
changed to a minimum OF three thirty |
seconds and a maximum Of six thirty |
seconds Of an inch-which is a reduc-
ion of one thirty-second Of an inch, and |
cts the long primer in.
