srNAToR.nLHcT FLINT

The election of Frank P. Flint to succeed Senator
Bard foregone conclusion before the vote was
taken in the two branches of the legislature Tues
day The action Of the Republican boss Of San Fran
cisco in declaring that his following would support the
Los Angeles man practically settled the contest When
that support was registered for Flint on the first ballot
It evident that he would win easily in the joint
ballot yesterday.
The election Of Mr. Flint is a triumph for what is
vaguely called the Republican organization" of Cali
fornia. That means substantially the Republican
machine, for which the Southern Pacific railway sup
plies the motive power and the steering apparatus.
Mr. Flint has the elements of personal popularity and
he is fairly well up in political hnesse. But it is
obvious that Notwithstanding his personal atainmens
and his vigorous he could not have been
landed in the United States senate without the potent
influence of the power behind the throne"
But Frank p Flint is the senator-elect and the
means whereby he attained his enviabe distinction is
Irrelevant and immateria' now The hot contest
over the Bard toga is merely bit of California poit
cal history. Next March 4 Mr.. Flint will become
of Caorna's two representatives in the United States
senate and every citizen of the state will be his we'll
wsher when he assumes the honor and responsibility
of the office There will be no distinction in that re-
spect on partisan or factionel grounds It is
enough to know that the chosen yesterday for
the highest honor in the gift of California is capable
of acquittng himself with personal credit and with
honor to the state
It is especially gratifying to the people of Southern
California that the senatorelect is citizen of the
southern metropolis AS The Herald pointed out while
the senatorial contest in progress, the southern
counties ask special favors in the states representa-
ton in the upper house of congress- 1t is reasonable
recognition of the southand's Importance as state
factor however, that of the senators should be
resident of this section.
MIR. Flint is young ambitious, well equipped men,
tally for the duties that will devove upon him in his
high Office and there good to believe that he
will make efficient and generally acceptable United
States senator That this confidence will be justified
is both the hope and the belief of The Herald

this club for a long time was the hu-
morous sketch entitled 1.-THE Village
Concert" the quaint characters being
interpreted by Mrs. Ida Edwards, Miss
Millie Burrows and Miss Cockrell. The
number was a side-splitting affair, full
of the most absurd songs and oddities.

remainder of the com plny. White
daisies formed the effective centerpiece
Of the exquisitely laid table, and long
sprays of smilax radiated from this
to the plates forming the outline of
daisy petals. Each plate was laid
on the tip of a petal, and the place

daisy. Those enjoying the fault

Claims Cure for Appendicitis.

Dr Pond of Liverpool England has
suvanced new theory with Difference
10 the origin of appendicitis and Other
disturbances of the digestive organs
he calls attention to the fact thai
such ailments can often be attributed
TO antimonial poisoning. and the
source OF the anthony taken I'D BY
man Is said to be the rubber rings
which are frequently used to close al
sorts of bottles.
Dr. Pond has established the fact
that such rings consist of almost one
thlrd their weight of anthony. The
antlmony is not only dissolved by the
mineral waters containing alkalis ano
organic acids, but these rubber rings
as daily observation shows. soon be
come brittle and some of the com
pound falls into the contents of the
vessels.
Or. Pond claims to have found that
frequently repeated introduction of
antlmony can become the source of a
series of disturbances of the nutritive
ana digestive system, especially
through continued weakening of the
muscles of the stomach and intestines
