THE COUNTY VOTE

In considering the probabilities OF the
vote of Los Angeles county in the coming
election we have the vote in the last
presiden tial election as basis The
vote cast for the Mckinley ticket was
16 1893, for the Bryan ticket 1908. These
figures make a total of 1854. Two per
cent Of this total is almost equal to the
plurality for the Mckinley ticket, S24,
a very narrow margin.
1t is evident that close contest on
the county ticket is impending. The
natural increase in the number of voters,
within two years, will probably amount
to several times the meager Republican
plurality for the Mckinley ticket. How
that increase may be divided next No
vember is a question that nobody can
solve now. The scattering vote of the last
election becomes interesting in view of
the close contest between the Leaders
There will be no gold Democratic ticket
now to lure Democrats with yellow gilt
ter.
1t Is quite evident at the start Of the
county campaign that it will be lively
and intensely interesting race until tbs
last ballot drops into the box.

is intended to prevent the Afro-American
voters of this state from demanding a fair

NEVER MIND WHAT ALGER SAYS

General Alger seems to be gradually
getting back to his proper level. Gen
eral Miles has quietly ignored the orders
of the secretary of war by issuing counA
ter orders in reference to breaking UP
Camp Wikoff and sending home all the
soldiers now there. AS stated in our
New York dispatches of the 18th instant,
an army officer telegraphed General
Miles that said disbanding order was
contrary to that already made by Sec
rotary Alger to which General Miles
made reply: "Never mind what Alger
says; am I'M command now"
The country will commend this as
serton of much needed authority by the
commanding general of the United
States army, even at this late period.
1t would, in all likelihood. have saved the
lives of many United States soldiers.
and our national reputation from
many needlessly incurred scandals IL
"Never mind what Alger says'' had been
a counterplea in more situations than
Camp Wikoff during our war with
Spain.
The assumption of the control of mill
tary affairs, in time of war, by poli-
tician clothed in a little brief author

ity," but otherwise, by education and
training, wholly untitled for the work
in hand, is one of the penetrable defects
In our state armor. The business or pro-
fession of arms, though not classed as
one Of the Learned professions" is,
nevertheless, profession embracing as
wide a field of preparatory training as
that of law, medicine or divinity. To
subject a soldier ripened In experience,
who has not only heretofore "set squad
rons in the field" but planned and exc
cuted many successful campaigns In
the actual presence Of war-to subject
such a one to the direction and control
of a civilian--to the authoritative COM
mand of an ignoramus-is simply to in
vite and put a premium upon military
disaster Occasionally man of fine
sense and native military genius may
fill the high position Of secretary of war.
United States proverbially fortunate In
taking extra risks has escaped the dan
gers incident to putting new wine In old
bottles. But the exception, as usual,
only proved the rule, and that rule
worked with a vengeance in our war
with the Dons. General Alger, as sec
rotary Of war--to give him the benefit of
the doubt-may have intended to act,
as such officer, in a spirit promotive of
the welfare of the soldiers in the
trenches or the hospitals in Cuba and
elsewhere. But the fatal consequences
of the failure of such intentions empha-
size the absurdity Of appointing polit-
ical layman secretary Of war and retain
ing him In office even after his blurders
had become notorious to all mankind
and the fruitful source Of disease and
death to the army. In strict constitu-
tioral technique the secretary OF war Is
the superior officer Of General Miles. but
what a roaring farce 1t has been to risk
the safety of the ration in the enforce
ment Of such technicalty. Many tall
fellow has become food for gunpowder
merely because General Miles had not,
from the inception Of the war . an
nounced to an applauding country:
Never mind what Alger says; I am in
command now"

Hurrah for Our Whole Hog Leaderi
Hnrrah! boys, hurrah for our leader SO
brave
He is working for Arnold and noble Van
Fleet!
He knows: Uncle, Coils will dig him
grave
If he kicks at his tools with his number
nine feet;
Had he made a wry face at the beasts OF
the herd.
Or have limited that some Of them should
have been off,
He would never have known how the rest
got the word
To keep him from getting his feet in the
trough.
Oh politics! politics! Isn't IT queer
The way it can bias an honest mans
thoughts
TIL the rascals he would not train with
last year,
BY miracle now have lost all their
spots?
But here is to Gage! May he carry them
through,
For Surely Pure motives must win with
out fail!
I'd work for a cur yellow dog, wouldn't
you,
II you thought that your office was hung

SOME FIGURES OF THE WAR

To furnish shoes would require the skins
of "a ,625 calves. not counting the soles and
heels
An ordinary canteen holds two quarts.
with the 277OOO canteens filled the army
would carry 1914 hogsheads.
The barrels of the Krag-Jorgensen rifles
are thirty inches long Placed end to end
they would make a continuous tube Ia
miles long.
1t costs % cents a day to feed soldier
according to war department figures,
counting transportation of provisions. This
would be S6O,9iO day.
An army flannel shirt costs $1.95 and ID
made Of three square yards of stuff. Shirts
for the army would cost $4,000 and the
material spun out would cover 172 acres.
Blankets for the men cost 50. 80 each. This
would mean an outlay of 1922 410. BY the
way, old army men are agreed that better
poker can be played on one of these blan-
kets than on any ether CLOTH
Had the 277,O0O men enrolled been armed
with the new Krag-Jorgensen rifle and 100
cartridges to each man they would have
carried 372 toms of bullets at their waists.
These cartridges placed end to end would
have extended 1866 miles.
Each soldiers uniform, with cape over
coat. requires eleven and quarter square
yards of cloth. Hence the cloth for the
277 900 men would cover GA acres, or little
over a square mile. At $1S65 suit 1t would
cost s., 166,O5O, or enough to build the finest
kind OF a battleship.
Each man is entitled to an allowance OF
twenty ounces Of fresh meat day, which
means a total of 346, 25O pounds for the en-
tire army. or flour the allowance is eight
cen ounces, amounting to 1889 barrels day
for the whole army. Reckoning things on
the same basis, the army as at present
constituted requires 1871 barrels OF potatoes
daily and for the same period q, 200 POUNDS
of coffee, Al $50 pounds of sugar, 11,279
pounds of salt, $3.50 pounds OF soap. 1924
pounds of candles, 692 pounds Of pepper
and A hogsheads OF vinegar

mento, Secretary of State Brown has
refused to allow the regular Popuist
candidates place on the ticket, and has
awarded that distinction to the middle
f-the-roaders. The reason alleged
there for Is given as follows:
The Peoples party convention, as
originally convened July ~. 1895 ceased
to be a convention Of said party by rea-
son Of its abandonment Of the distinctive
party name Of the Peoples party ac-
complished by fusion with the Demo-
cratic party; in falling to exercise it's
right to name a state ticket. but In
stead deeCating to the Democratic
party and Silver Republicans the right
to name all but three of its nominees
for state and two for district Offices.
This is VIGOROUSLY partisan decision
AS a matter Of fact the regular Populist
convention nominated a full ticket
whether the candidates happened to be
Democrats, Silver Republicans, or Popu-
lists, or whether any Of them were
named by other conventions or not is nc
concern of the secretary Of state. He
may be compelled to give a place to The
regular Populist ticket at the end Of q
mandamus suit.

NEW FISCAL SYSTEM

Has the United States adopted a new
fiscal policy? This would seem to be the
result, or one of the results, of the wal
revenue law. Or, more accura ely
speaking, the latter enactment was rem
dered necessary by the hopeless failure
of the old system to raise sufficient rev.
enue to meet the expenses of the govern
ment In time of war. Indeed, as the
country we'll knows, 1t failed to do that

CAGES OBLIGATIONS

Mr.. Gage in his recent speech at Log
Angeles. asked fer specifications to prove
the charge that he was nominated as the
choice of the Southern Pacific company.
There was evidence enough at the time TO
convince any reasonable man Of the truth
of the charge, and now he has dlincked The
argument by the appointment Of Osborne
and Parker. The fact Is that the same in-
fiuence that nominated Gage at Sacra-
mento compelled the appointment of these
men, as the same influences would newt
ably dictate every important appointments

never have been nominated else.

should not recognize his friends and CO.

should not be condemned in any man.-Sau
