CITY IS AFTER THE B l
In Meeting of Council City Attorney Is
Instructed to Draft Ordinance
Regulating Same.

Paste pots and billboards came In
for quite share of municipal atten-
ton last night. The carelessness of
billboard artists in leaving paste on
the sidewalks was brought up by
Councilman Tausick, who spoke Of
accidents caused by persons slipping
on the Shiny adhesive.
This opened up a discussion of the
whole question of billboards and the
danger resulting from their overturn-
ing during high wind.
The city attorney was instructed to
frame an ordinance requiring that all
billboards be set as far from the
sidewalk as the height of the board
and at least two feet additional.
This, in the opinion of the city dads,
would be a guarantee Of safety.

lis loss of mental tone and inability tC
concentrate the attention. Nervous
symptoms will be more apparent i'm 2
woman smoker than a man, because
womans nervous organization is OF 2
more delicate order and more easily
upset. That smoking, even in modera-
tion, is harmful to women is very prob.
able There are many who assert that
habitual smoking has deterioratiue
effect on the race, and If parents OF
both sexes smoke It would follow that
the children would be physically in
ferior to the children of non-smokers
other things being equal
This is mainly a personal considera-
ton. 1t is not so much what we dc
that seems to matter, but how we do it,
and this is true of smoking as of every
thing else. TO smoke in Il public place
lays woman open to the criticism of
strangers, and although a girl Is not

an occasional cigarette, the true gentle
woman avoids doing anything unCon-
ventiona In public If girl will smoke
she should only do SO among friends, i'm
the privacy of her own house and, pre-
fera bly, in q gathering Of women and
of women who smoke themselves.
There are people who consider a girl
peculiar If she smokes a cigarette.
Then why shock their susceptibilitles
by what Is, I'm their opinion the brazen
display of an unwOmanly act? Others
are as much surprised at the women
who don't smoke. "Only the middle
class British matror is a non-smoker

her nursery she will not have much

Whatever he may say on the sub
iect, in his heart of hearts the average
man disapproves of women smoking.
1t may be inherent selfshness, it may
be association and a sensitive regard
and desire to keep his women folk un-
spotted from the world; the fact re-
mains that 80 per cent of men prefer
women not to smoke. The few who do
not mind have generally a sister, wife
or woman friend whom they particu
larly respect and who has succumbed
to the fascination of smoking. How
often we hear a man declare, II do not
mind girls smoking at all, but l should
not like my wife to smoke cigarettes.

reason behind it,
There are women who smoke not be-
cause they care for it, but under the
mistaken impression that 1t is smart,
and there are girls who smoke only
because their friends enjoy it and con-
slider them old fashioned if they don't.
These types never smoke to excess, and
generally give up the habit when they
attain years of discretion. Some women
smoke because they honestly enjoy not
so much the smoking itself, but the
feeling of good fellowship which smok
ing in congenial society produces.
Smoking is something of fad among
women at present, and there are many
who will give it up when it ceases to be
a novelty. The vast majority of women
will not smoke

PARTISAN RECKLESSNESS

The San Francisco Call begins an edi-
torial headed I'm the Democratic Bear
Pit with this declaration: THE
Democracy is without a leader or a
halter, and the tempting hurrah of
presidential straw has been scattered
to the four winds. Bryan is ready to
take up the reins of government, but he
has so widened the breach between
himself and the working faction that it
is doubted if he will ever be able to get
the party back into harness."
The trouble with most of the San
Francisco newspapers is that they ad-
dress their readers generally on the
theory that they are either mostly idiots
or children, when as matter of fact
the people Of San Francisco are as high
in intelligence education and practical
common sense as are the people of any
other city.
1t is ldiotic on the part of any news
paper to distort facts and to make
statements that are palpably untrue.
And there is no truth whatever in the
sentences quoted from the Call. It's
editor knows, and all his readers know.
that for at least once in its history the
national Democratic party is unanimous
and in perfect accord. He knows and
all his readers know that the working
faction of the Democratic party is
solid for Bryan, and that all factions
have united in support of his nomina-
ton.
This is fact of history, not a stretch
of partisan Imagination or of policy.
Why, therefore, does the Call deliber-
ately deny the fact, when everybody
knows the truth? 1t can accomplish
no good purpose, and is simply reckless
and meaningless in it's misstatement.
on the other hand, there is a fact of
everyday history to which the Call
might truthfully have directed atten-
tion. The national Republican party
was never before so distraught and so
at a loss for a presidential candidate.
There is fierce internecine war be-
tween the tariff reformers and the
stand-patters, which even in Iowa-a
stronghold Of Republicanism-has split
the party into two factions. There is
not a Republican presidential nominee
in sight. The machinery Of the organ
ization is searching everywhere for the
man Of proper stature-thus far without
avail, and it may be compelled to fall
back upon Roosevelt for third term.
There is no enthusiasm anywhere for
Fairbanks and none for Taft. Partisan
leaders shake their heads whenever the
name of either is mentioned.
The Republican party organization is
intact and in good working order, but
the party itself is "all split up" both
as to the nominee and the platform. In
short, 1t is confronted with the fight of
its life. With a compact, united and
harmonious Democracy bearing down
upon it, the Republican party is already
manifesting symptoms of panic.
This is the present political situation
viewed from any and every standpoint
No partisan view is required to see
these facts, and the people who read

REVEALS KOREAN INTRIGUES
Revolution Against Japan Is Sup

Empress of India, which arrived today,

CIVIC PATRIOTISM

objection to the non-partisan move
ment in Los Angeles Is urged by some
good Democrats, who offer as a reason
why the movement should not be sup
ported by them the hope that straight
Democratic ticket might be possible OF
election.
Such a position is very far from being
patriotic. The purpose of all parties Is,
or should be, to attain the highest and
best possible government for the people.
Partisauship in municipal affairs has
met with signal failure. The people
throughout the country are awake to
the necessity Of destroying corrupted
tyrannical machines and of securing
the best men available to fill the offices
and perform the public service. In
civic affairs they have tried PARTISAN
ship in every conceivable form and no
man is satisfied with It. The demand
is universal for a get together" move
ment that will clear the atmosphere
and place the responsibilities and
duties OF municipal business upon the
shoulders of capable and thoroughly
honest men; men who will be free from
partisan or machine control and who
will therefore be able to serve the
whole body of the people.
In a city where the Republicans have
q large working majority, the demand
upon good Republicans to abandon all
their party advantages and enter upon
a non-partisan movement is an appeal
to their patriotism and loyal citizen
ship. An appeal to Democrats, who
have no palpable party advantages to
lose, should surely meet with quick and
hearty response, not only on the ground
of patriotism but also for selfish
reasons, if any are entertained. A nom
partisan movement with only Repub-
leans on the ticket would be a piece
Of humor too comprehensive for ap-
probation.
Party organization and party ma
chinery are still of exceeding great
value, and the time has not come when
these should be abandoned, even in
civic affairs. They are the forms and
methods by which large bodies of
voters are enabled to speak their minds
and signify their wishes. The Demo-
cratic party of Los Angeles, although
in the minority, is well organized, its
running along from the
largest to the smallest unit of popular
expression. 1t is a powerful organiza-
ton and will be kept intact. 1t is
valuable asset to the people themselves,
because it is in position to watch the
course of the non-partisan movement
and see that developments are along
popular lines.
In other words, neither good Repub-
leans nor good Democrats would be
willing to exchange their partisanship
FOR any movement that did not tho
roughly represent all the people. The
fact that they are willing to yield
heir partisanship, from purely patri-
otic motives, is the first great stride
-oward popular city government The
next step is one of watchful certainty
hat the independent movement is car
ried forward in full assurance of it's
purposes. Only by these means can
on-partisanship in city affairs become
4 reality.

ATHENS AND ARcADY

o, once 1 might have gone the way
That leads to Athens, old and gray;
And once or twice | longed to know
The spirit of its classic glow,
The dream, the charm. the tender spell
That in its ancient glory dwell
But now the favored road for me
Is down the lanes TO Already!
I felt the thrill, the derring-do
That all who love their Athens knew,
/ longed to reVel in the spray
OF Argive fight, olympian fray,
Across the soft Aegian tide
My CALLED battleship to guide
But now the heights of love, of glee,
Are down the lanes to Already!
For while for those who upward go
To Athens in the golden glow
OF hope, ambition, dream, and fate
To beat upon the Thracian gate,
The laurel glistens for their brow
And conquering gods before them bow,
Yet red the sweet love roses be
That bloom In lanes of Already!
All, high the hope when went forth
The road to Athens all adoreth;
The gods that beckon from the hills,
The dream, the purpose, how 1t thrills
The mem'ry as It did of old,
When all the bending skies were gold,
And for the hills could not see
The little lanes 10 Already!
All, we'll! missed the high emprise,
The herohood of life that lies
In plucking from Greek altar fires
The laureled victory Of desires,
The crown of state and war, and strife,
The gauds, the trinkety of life
But song, and rose, and fruited tree
Are mine in lanes Of Already!
Are mine, indeed, and something more
A throat whose songs of passion pour
From lips that are OF honeycomb,
And ringlets that are golden foam,
And eyes that have no match so fair
In AthenS-no, nor anywhere

Ten Thousand Miners Strike

ATHENS, O., July 1O.-Ten thousand
miners in the Hooking district struck
again today after working less than
two weeks under the agreement made
at Columbus in June. The cause OF
the strike was that the men were paid
36-100 of one cent a ton less than the
price which they were to receive under
the Columbus agreement.
