LADIES CONTEST
FOR THE PRIZES
RAPID VOTING is NOW BEING
DONE v
HeraId's Plan of Distribution Makes
the Winning a Comparatively
Easy Affair For Those Who
Stay in the Race

Day by day the enthusiasm grows
keener in The Herald's Salesladies
Contest. New candidates enter and
the old ones are there with firm de-
termination to win and each hour
| brings in more votes. Every candi=
date realizes she must make the best
of each day, so every day the contest
grows more exciting.
The whole city is alive to the issue,
and as the contest progresses the in
terest will undoubtedly reach fever
heat. The climax comes December 29,
at which time the contest closes, and it
is then that the popularity of each
candidate will be determined, and the
five most popular ones to receive the
5000 in prizes will be made known.
1t is a good plan to get a reserve
vote in readiness for that time, as you
are never positive of the number of
votes other candidates may have, and
a reserve may come in good play on
the last day. Remember that Satur-
day, october 2S, a special ballot of 1000
votes will be issued to each candidate
who has brought in FIVE NEW three
The offer is fully explained in an
advertisement on another page of this
paper. Read particulars carefully.
Every one can win ballot if she
tries. There is still plenty of time to
get in FIVE NEW three months SUBJ
scribers if little effort is made. Two
thousand votes may be the means of
placing your name in the list of win
ners when they are announced, and
as another offer of this kind will not
be made it would be a good idea to
take advantage of this one while the
opportunity presents itself. The way
coupons are coming in this week prom
ises to make it the banner one of the
contest UP to date. No end of interest
is being taken in the affair as it rolls
along. Not one of the ladies feels dis
couraged, but on the contrary they
are more alive to the issue than ever
before and mean to win or know the
reason why. The vote of the last day
or two signifies that there are many
earnest workers in the field, and before
long the interest as well as competi-
ton, will be at fever heat. The re-
serves of numerous candidates are pill
ing up remarkably and there are as
many more, being held back as there
are being polled.
These will be very much in evidence
when the occasion demands it. From
the outlook there can be but one
answer to The Herald's Popular Sales
ladies Contest. 1t will be big sue
cess. Remember the extra vote offer is
for this week only, and is the only one
of it's kind to be made, and every can
didate should take advantage of it.
Do not hold subscriptions back, but
bring or send them in as soon as Sc
cured. and the regular ballot of 300
votes will be given at once, and if you
have FIVE NEW three months sub
scriptions by Saturday, October 2S, or
if they have been turned in for you by
other parties, the extra ballot of 1000
votes will be issued in your favor.

THE "RECALL" EPIDEMIC

Now the mayor is threatened with the recall"
Like boy with gun, eager to shoot at anything
and everything recall agitators inclined to aim
at whatever in sight The failure to recall the
Gilman of the Eighth ward did not discourage the ad
mirers of that new municipal toy. They to think
more glittering mark would be easier to hit, and
they train their popgun on the mayor.
The mayor is under the ban of the recaers because,
as stated in their meeting of his "neicency" in the
matter of the South Park railway wrangle 1t
ber of the same element of kckers who agaed for the
ripping of that track of annoying the rail-

showing to the community what really harmful thing
the initiative referendum and recall combination may
become It is not difficult experience proves, to
get enough signatures for recall referendum in
regard to almost any question And agators thrive
on agitation they might keep the city almost constantly
in a state of unrest Commencing with attempt to
recall the mayor they might the whole municipal

The initiative referendum and recall constitute an
important and useful safeguard but that should be
used only in extreme cases. appliance to be
used like the brake wagon at every little descent
Nor is it thing handled by chronic agitators at
any time in any circumstances
The results of applying these remedies in the mu-
nicpal affairs of Los Angeles have been such utter
failures that the people beginning to lack patience

ELECTRIC TRANSIT RIGHT OF WAY

The rapid growth of nterurban electric transit is
causing much friction in states between the rail-
way interests and the people the lines of highways
where electric roads operated. Property owners
usually glad to welcome the coming of the trolley
country roads because of the probable appreciation
Of land In their eagerness have the lines es-
tablshed they willingly agree to the laying of trackg
without restrictions that afterward seen to
be important 1t is this lack of reasonable restriction
that causes subsequent trouble.
Up in the San Joaquin valley for example, county
authorities reached the point of refusing grant
right way on public roads except upon specific cond
tons 1t required that the track or tracks shall be
so laid at the side of the road not interfere with
ordinary usage of the highway for other purposes AS
country roads usually the resticton is i'm
portant in projecting trolley lines
The difficulty in question is almost entirely elimina-
ted in the nterurban electric system which has its
in Los Angeles. From the first entry into that field
by H. E. Huntington it has been his policy to purchase
the right of way for projected line from end to
the other 30 far possible AS consequence, there
has been but little encroachment upon the public roads
by the interurban system in this neighborhood.
The purchase of private right of way is very ex
pensive of course but in the long it will prove
be good economic policy The main purpose accom-
pished thereby is the of greater speed with
safety than is possible lines operated at the
side of public highway

TALK OF A DEMAGOGUE

Here is a sample of the stuff that w. R. Hearst is
handing out to New York voters in his effort to be
elected mayor 1--WE stand for the development of i'm
mensely improved traction facilities and enough legt
mate profit from legitimate municipal ownership to
better wages, reduce taxation and build schools"
Higher wages for workers and lower taxes result
of municipal ownership in New York, steered by W. R.
Hearst as mayor!
Here is attempt to get the votes of laboring men
by the direct promise that they will receive higher
wages if the plan of public ownership be introduced
in New York The proposition is insult to the inte-
gence of every voter in the city. Any person who is
familiar with conditions in large American cities knows
that municipal ownership would simply enlarge the
scope of power and influence exercised by the political
BOSSES If the street railways of New York, for In
stance were operated by the city thousands of men
would be added to the following Of the who control
political affairs Present conditions bad enough in
that respect every large city, but they would be worse
proportion to the increase of power which politicians
would derive from enlarged public service.
None but demagogue, actuated by the most selfish
motives would before city audience and promise
higher wages and lower taxes consequence of in
creasing the scope of political power by the plan of
municipal ownership of utilities.

minimum price will be $3.50 per ton increasing in pro-
portion to the percentage of saccharine matter During

of saccharne and in few instances SO per cent It is

FORWOMEN
Benefit of Walking

Walking is the basis of all physical
training for women. Her special sports
always circle round this most excellent
method of keeping herself sound and
strong without in any way making her
masculine. Each woman has to gauge
the amount of walking she does by her
individual strength. Her daily walk in
rain or shine, taken in a happy spirit,
will keep her feeling well.
Veil Not for the Face
The popularity of the new veil Is
that it is never worn on the face. The
little strip of gossamer and lace, which
was the forerunner of the enormous
wells of today, was tied round the hat,
tucked under the chin, and fastened
in a neat little knot at the back by
the wearer herself. But no woman with
any pretence to smartness attempts to
struggle with the three yards or more
of choffon that makes up the modern
veil. It's proper arrangement is left to
the professional milliner, who disposes
OF it artistically by simply swathing
the hat brim with it's folds and allow
ing the long pointed ends to fall nearly
to the waist at the back.
