THE LINpLEY BOOMERANG

The assault upon Lee c. Gates is re-
acting to his credit.
II now appears, with all the facts at
hand. that Mr.. Gates acceded condition
ally to all the details Of what seemed
to be a fair effort on the part Of sup
posed friends to secure the withdrawal
of one Of the candidates from the
mayoralty race.
1. Mr. Gates agreed to submit his
candidacy, with that of DR.. Lindley, to
the Judgment Of arbltrators, on condf-
tion that such course would be approved
by the non-partisan committee.
2. Mr.. Gates wrote the tentative let
ter Of withdrawal, conditioned on the
approval of the nion-partisan COM
mittee.
3. Mr.. Gates agreed to the list of
arbitrators, conditioned on the approval
of the non-partlsan committee
T. The non-partisan committee, after
a careful consideration of the question,
unanimously refused to submit the
question of Mr.. Gates candidacy to any
power save that Of the people.
s. whereupon Mr.. Gates at once so
notified the tentative list of arbitrators
and withdrew his tentative letter of
withdrawal.
That is a plain, unbiased statement of
all the facts in the case.
Does that look like "a wobble' /?
On the contrary, it . was manly,
straightforward and unequivocal from
beginning to end, and amply illustrates
the fairness and firmness of Mr.. Gates
character.
The incident has proved a boomerang
to the Lindley camp, because, in their
efforts to besmirch and belittle Mr..
Gates, they are deliberately withhold
ing the fact that all of his accessions
to their suggestions were made upon
the express condition that the whole
toned by the non-partisan committee
before he would actually submit to a
single feature of the arrangements.
And his final act in refusing to go into
the matter was in perfect keeping with
the distinct understanding that he
should so withdraw If the non-partisan
committee refused it's consent.
The "wobbling' is all on the side of
the Lindleyites, who, in order to turn a
political trick, are only giving out half
the facts and concealing those which
show the manliness and fairness of Mr..
Gates.
Do they think the people will not re-
sent these things?
Do they suppose that the taxpayers of
the great city of Los Angeles are going
to swallow Lindley merely because he
has the support of the Republican
bosses and machine?
1t is for the people to determine who
shall be mayor of this city-not a
bunch of five arbitrators, no matter
how grand or how high and mighty they
may be.

ident Roosevelt Is one Of the strongest
peace advocates in the world, and my
opinion is that we should make this
the worlds exposition first and invite
the world powers for another Hague
tribunal or International peace parlia-
ment. With the opening of the Panama
canal we will have the orient and the
occident brought face to face on our
shores, and n more fitting place for the
holding OF an International peace con-
ference cannot be found. Waterways
and commerce go hand in hand, and
the exclusive use of either name woull
tend to localize the project"
Meeting Is Postponed
Those interested in the exposition
project were to have held a meeting
yesterday afternoon to further con-
slider the affair, but owing to the alb
sence from the city of A. 3. Cass,
chairman of the committee on exposi-
tions of the chamber of commerce, to
which the exposition project had been
referred for consideration, the meeting
was postponed until next Tuesday
night.
On that night the chamber of COM
merCe committee on expositions will
hold a session to discuss the subject.
and the promoters of the enterprise
will attend in force to present argu-
ments why the exposition should be
held and why a favorable report
should be made by the committee to
the board of directors of the chamber
of commerce.
A. M. Parsons, one of the prime
movers in the project, said yesterday
that he continues to receive encour-
agement from every hand and he ex-
pressed himself as confident that the
chamber of commerce will place its
official stamp of approval upon the
great undertaking.

Merely Wants Backing

Senator Flint has volunteered to in
troduce this bill and do all in his power
to secure its passage, with every pros
pect of success, on condition that the
exposition project is indorsed by the
Los Angeles chamber of commerce
and that he is given the moral support
by the presence in Washington during
the consideration of the measure of a
strong committee of Los Angeles buSi-
ness men.
Suggestion has come from certain
quarters that the name of the pro-
posed event. 1.-THE Universal Peace and
Commerce Exposition" is too extended
to be properly digested by the gen.
eral public, but leaders in the under
taking and others interested believe
that the name tentatively adopted is
eminently suitable and one that will
command the attention of the govern
ments throughout the world. They also
contend that regardless of the length
or substance of the name officially Sc
lected it will become known through
out the United States and generally
with the reading public of the world as
the Los Angeles exposition, leaving
the greater, most significant and Of
fetal title one which statesmen, diplo-
mats and savants may conjure with.

LIVE WASHINGTON AFFAIRS
Treasury In Better Shape.

The monthly statement of the Govern
ment receipts and expenditures just IS
sued shows condition Of the Treasury
which is eminently satisfactory to the OF
hcials.
A year ago there was deficit OF
more than $2S, 100000, which has now
beer. reduced to less than $3,4oo,ooo. with
the prospect that this amount will be en-
tirely wiped out within the next 80 days.
1t is pointed out that there is an avail
able cash balance on hand, including de-
posts in national banks, of nearly $I44,-
100000. with the daily receipts more than
equaling the expenditures.
During January the customs receipts
alone amounted to $26SSooI2, which is
an excess over January, 1905, Of more
than $4,5oo,ooo and since July I last
the customs receipts have exceeded those
for the corresponding period last year
by more than $22, 100000. During. the
same period internal revenue receipts
have increased by more than 100000.
The expenditures last month were
about $2,75o,ooo less than for January,
1905, principally on account Of reduced
interest payment.
