There is evidently room in Los An
geles for many more street contractors.
Those already in business have so
many contracts on hand that they are
bidding so per cent too high on new
business, Just to keep their names
before the public" A vast amount of
street work has been ordered and much
more coming, so that new set of con-
tractors, with reasonable bids, would
soon have all the business they could
handle.

for prompt action on the part of the

OhKLAND'S STRONG POINT


teeth and tear its hair over the won
derful resources and the splendid de-
velopment of "all that country south
of TehaChapi;" it may turn green with
envy over the great inflow of immigra-
ton to Los Angeles and the achieve
ments of enterprise and capital in this
section, but when it comes to hoggng
all the big Offices i'm California, Oak
land wears the crown-over one ear, of
course, but wears it.
There is credited to Alameda county
a long list of the best official positions
within tho gift of the Republican ma
chine, showing that Oakland is n home
of politicians, men who are doubtless of
large caliber, but their example of as
piration i'm the line of office-h holding has
spread out so far that most people up
there have been concerned more in pub
lie positions than in developing natural
resources and material opportunities.
Here are few of the jobs held down
by citizcns of Oakland, as made out
by n writer on the San Francisco Bull
lctin:
!. United States senator.
.. Secretary of commerce and labor.
g. Governor of California.
4. Clerk of supreme court.
8 Congressman, third district.
g. Two bank commissioners.
r. State labor commissioner.
s. President San Francisco harbor
commission.
O. one justice supreme court
10. One judge of appellate court.
II. Collector port OF San Francisco
70. United States immigration COM
missioner.
13. Superintendent of United States
mint.
IA. United States naval officer.
Il. Warden San Quentin prison
16. Large numbers of clerks, depu-
ties, attaches, etc, which naturally go
along with these offices.
These facts abpndantly demonstrate
that Oakland is all-hog in politics; and
not content with pre-empting the
Offices she proposes to open a bureau
of information in Los Angeles, for
the aVowed purpose of persuading the
easterners who come here to take the
trail over the mountains and see what's
on the other side.
Bah! Also bosh! Oakland would bet
ter keep on concerning herself with the
thing she knows most about-politics.
In that line of human inactivity she
q NnTkpr--NVa fur1nf I,
do in the east, Jim dandy. What
she doesn't know about running a Re-
publican machine convention is very
small indeed. When it comes to really
doing something for the upbuilding of
all California, she is a child in blonde
curls and short skirts.
Oakland has many strong points of
advantage, 1t is true. 1t is a city of
beautiful homes, with a splendid sur
rounding country and nobody has the
least desire to quarrel with its people
on their claims to n fine community.
We are not surprised that such a city
should have for it's citizens such men
as Metcalf, Perkins and Pardee, who
do more or less honor TO the great po-
sitions they occupy. The point Of OBJ
lection to Oakland is that some of it's
newspapers are constantly abusing and
incorporating Los Angeles. II we
glory in the Advancement Of Oakland,
as we do, why should Oakland persist
In saying ugly things about Los An
geles? Quit it, you fellows up north,
and be glad that all California is
helped by the upbuilding Of each city
and county within the states borders.

All bids for street work held over

the eXorbitant prices demanded. Some

But the contractors don't care. Their

Councilman Blanchard, member of
the board, yesterday. "They simply
put in bids in order to keep their
names before the board. SO We will not
forget them. That is largely the rca-
son they ask such high prices They
figure if they get the job at the prices
they demand they can we'll afford to do
the work even if they are now over
crowded. But now contractors are
coming into the field and things will
shape themselves around soon."
city Engineer Stafford suggested it
would be a good plan to prepare no
more ordinances of intention until the
contractors have caught UP with their
work. but his suggestion was not fol-
loved.

A MAIL ORER CANDIDATE

Some way it doesn't seem exactly
proper for the Democratic party to
expect Kansas to send to Chicago
for candidate for governor. Kan
sas sends to Chicago for everything
elsein the world, and is worse off for
1t, and probably the mail order can
didate would turn out wrong, and
then there would be no way of trad
ing back. Senator Harris looks all
right in the catalogue; the descrip
ton in the circular is certainly
mighty enticing. But when we get
him here, and all set up and get the
freight paid on him, how are going
to fix him up and repair him when
he gets out of gear? With the home
candidate it is different. We have
Republican machine shop we can
run him into and all the parts nee
cessary to fix him up if he gets
broken are kept in stock. But Dem
ocracy never has succeeded in Kan
.sas; it never carries repair stock.
You have to take it as it is-good or
bad-and let it go at that.
There are certainly two sides 10
this question, and the people should
consider it we'll. Of course the new
patent contrapshun is mighty allur-
ing; the varnish shines, and the plat
form looks bright and sllck-but
will it work. Also will it wear2

thinking about, even il the Old
Stand is in bad hands now, who

But after all they are only temporar-
lily in charge. The thing to do is to

was declared joined the union forces
and ended his militery career as
major general. He was United
States senator from Missouri and
Secretary of Interior under Presi-
dent Hays.
Most of his life he was fluent
writer fer the magazines and news
papers and for many years was
editor of various papers. He was
an impetuous, high strung, impul-
sive character, full of vim and en-
ergy, likely to be carried off of his
feet at any time by some domiaat-
ing impulse but man whose heart
was with the people. He believed
in freedom and equality of all man
kind, advocated peace, yet delight
ed in strife and turmoil.

DIDIT FOOL YOU?

When you read that plank in the
Democratic platform that declared
for the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law did you think for a
minute that the Democratic party
h ID become converted to the teach
ings Of Carrie Nation? We think
not. You have known the Demo-
cratic party a long time. They are
celebrated for resoluting.
They do not expect to bind any
body by their resolutions or change
the time honored principles of
Democracy. Year after year the
Democratic party has gone before
the voters of Kansas with a plat
form declaring for the. individual
liberty of every free citizen of Kan
sas, (meaning, we suppose, that
every man has right to get drunk
if he wants tot and whooping her
up on that line.
The success of the party has not
been marked on that line of cam
paign and it has finally dawned on
party leaders that very consider
able majority of the people of
Kansas are in favor of sobriety and
decency and they are now making
bid for the respectable vote know
ing full well that they already have
the vote of the rabble aud saloon
followers. Likewise they know
that these same fellows will stay
with the Democratic ticket not
withstanding the meaningless res
lutions.
No one thinks for minute that
the Democrats of Kansas have
suddenly become converted to the
prohibition idea, yet they put forth
that idea in their platform and in
their pebble speeches all to catch
votes. They must think Republi
can voters are easy and are to be
-winked by chaff so at variance
with the latter day Democratic
principles.
We guess. Mr.. Democrat that
Republicans will not bite this time.
We have bit few times at the gilt
tering bait you have thrown ont,
especially on that tariff reform idea
of yours, and got sorely hooked
but will take your prohibition bait
a little warily till you have shown
by your acts that your conversion
is complete and sincere.

1t seems little strange that the
Democrats of Kansas with all their
boosted ability and TAINTED states
manship had to 60 out of the state
to secure a candidate for governor
big enough to cope with the situa-
ton that confronts them. Mr..
Harris is right good man and
ranks very high as Democratic
statesman, but we fail to see how a
citizen of Illinois could hold the
office of governor of Kansas even
should he receive a majority of the
votes at the coming election.
