THE AoReANIZERs"
 LAND THE CONDITIONS IN 5isBEE.

It is again rumored that the organ izers of the Western Federation o Miners or the Industrial Workers of America, are in Bisbee for the pur pose of instituting union.
 In the past these organizers have from time to time put in an appear arce, but just as often have they again taken their departure, some times of their own free will and ac cord. conceding that the establishment of a union in Bisbee could not secure for the miners any favorable labor con ditions which they did not already have, and again, not so very long ago when an organizer named Kennedy ar rived in Bisbee and gave it out that he was here for the purpose of insti tutiDg a union, he soon learned from a small gathering of miners, that he had alighted at the wrong station.
 If it is true that these organizers are again in Bisbee for repeated attempt to institute union here, the Review can see nothing but defeat staring them in the face.
 When the sentiment becomes SC strong in Bisbee among the working men that they consider organization necessary to secure what they consid CT just treatment at the hands of the mining companies. there will be nc need for an organizer. But, until such a condition comes to pass, the way of the organizer. who iu Bisbee al the present time, is nothing more than a mischief-maker, will be hard and rocky road to travel

No one will attempt to argu~ against the right Of American citizens flo associate theu1sslves together for any legal or moral purpose. but Ioca' surroundings and local conditions often make discretion the better part of valor.
 The sentiment in Bisbee against tho organization of union is not confine to any particular class. It is no SC cret that the mining companies are

 Mir. Hennessey. member of the o. K stables. said: "I want to see the sewer bonds carry because of the many complaints that have come in from people who have for the last few years been imposed upon by neighbors living farther up the hill throwing their slops and refuse mat ter so that it runs down on people living below. I am in favor of the sewer bonds and I don't see how any taxpayer in the city can conscientious ly vote against it."
 Walter Hubbard: 'Since the water franchise has been withdrawn I am in favor of the sewer bond election carrying"
 F. R. o'Brien said: The sewer bond election should be carried. This is one of the Improvements which is In line with the growth of the city and there Is no reason why it should not carry. People have come to a full realization that they need a sewer system for the health of the inhabf- tants and from what I have heard in conversations believe there is but little oposition to it. I was opposed to the bond election when it carried with it the water franchise, but now that the water copany has withdrawn Its proposition I see nothing in the way. The sewer is to be owned by the city. and the citizens are the direct beneficaries-" E

THE SEWER BONDS ARE NOW ASSURED.

The successful and happy termins- ten of the conference between the committee from the Chamber of Com marce and the officers and directors of the Water Company. is canse for con graduation on the part of every prop srty owner in Bisbee. The resuat of that conference means the success of rhe sewer bonds on February Eth and tbe installation of a sewer system in Aish6B, means a guard against de ease. better sanitary conditions, tn- ereased valuation of property od every description, and more desirable place to live.
 The Water Company is to be com nended for it's ready acsuiescence in rne plan advanced by the committee from the Chamber of Commerce for a possponement of the franchise efoo- sion, which will entail upon the com pany a dooble expense. Now that the vexatious water franchise ques' tion has been removed, in connection with the proposition to sewer the towH, let the property owners. who sre the qualified voters at the ensu' ing election, get in and do their part First, be sure and register.
 $, Do il now. .- -. ..-
 You win find registration blanks snd registering officer at the Fire House, and bear in mind that it is necessary to register if you expect to vote on February 5th. Registration e;osss on January 25th.
 The sewer question now stands 5y itself.
 Is it necessary for Bisbee to have a sewer? Does the installation Of sewer in Bisbee mean anything to owners of property?
 Is ir worth the price?
 These are the questions for the property owners to decide. The cost of the sewer installed and ready for business will be eighty thousand dol lars in round figures. The interest on this amount will be four thousand dol lars, which at our present assessed valuation can be paid by the levy pro yiaed by law of fear mills. The pres eRt city rate of taxation is six mills, and the sewer bond interest will in- crease Ihe rate to one cent on the SI0o assessed valuation For example. if you are on the assessment roll for s1,oo0.60 your city taxes will be s10 per annHm. The first bond becomes due ct the expiration Of five years, and are to be paid off at tae rate of s4,0o0 per annum for twenty years. It is fair to estimate that during Ine next five years the assessment roll of Bisbee will have more than doub- led. The cost is so small, compared with the large benefits to be derived. that it behooves property owners to bestir themselves
 That the sewer bond proposition Is wanted by the business men of the caty is evidenced by the expressions from these men who are quoted on the subject in the following interview. All these men were seen yesterday after noon by a representative of The Re- view. They were enthusiastic fin the opinion that the sewer bond proposi- ton would carry. giving their argu- Inents in favor of the bonds. IL is the intention of The Review to interview every qualified elector and get state men from him before the election is held. in order that every person may know just what attitude his neighbor is taking in the matter. The follow ing Is list of yesterdays interviews. showing 100 per cent in favor of the

FINED FOR DISTURBING PEACE
Officers Arrest Man Said to Have
Frightened Women Into Drop
pima Purses

On charge of disturbing the peace,
e. Brewer. alias Earl Benedict, was
yesterday morning fined SIS by Police
Judge Austin.
Brewer was found by officer Jack
Walsh at Chutes park working what is
known to the police as the eastern
game" He was beneath the grand
stand during the progress of a ball
game, and tried to scare women on the
seats above him in an effort TO make
them drop their purses.
He Is said to have succeeded in fright
enlng several women. but before he had
secured any money the officers took him
In custody. on the way to the central
station Brewer broke from the officers
grasp near the Polytechnic school. A
shot was fired after the fugitive, but
did not serve to slacken his speed, and
he was recaptured only after a hard
chase.
When he had been captured he strug-
gled with the officer fiercely. and de-
liyered a fearful blow on the back of
Walsh's head.
Walsh Is seeking warrants for the
arrest of bystanders who refused to aid
In bringing the prisoner under control
when they had been asked 70 do so.
An old One-armed negro was the only
one who responded to the officers call
for assistance

FLAW FOUND IN THE COMPLAINT
ISSUED
Man Alleged to Have Embezzled from
Arizona Tobacco Company Is Re-
leased Because Document Falls to
State Mature Of Money Involved

For the first time in the history of the
office the district attorneys represent
tatives met defeat when they attempt
ed to argue in favor of an Indictment
brought against G. N. Floershin OF
Nogales, Arlz, which had been attacked
in a habeas corpus proceeding.
Time after time, when men have
been arrested in Los Angeles county
on foreign complaints, the officers of
the district attorneys department have
argued down all appeals on habeas
corpus and every prisoner has been
sent away for trial.
Yesterday, however, the deputies un-
dertook the impossible when they at,
tempted to hold Floershin on a COM
plant filed against him in Nogales,
Ariz., where he was charged with hav-
ing embezzled several hundred dollars
from tobacco firm.
The mans attorneys began habeas
corpus proceedings and yesterday when
the case was taken up before Judge
Smith he was promptly discharged
from custody on the ground that tn.
complaint against him was improperly
drawn in that it failed to state whether
the money stolen was legal money,
lawful money, real money or stage
money; further 1t failed to state wheth-
er or not the company from which the
money was alleged to have been taken
was a firm or an individual.
So the officer, who arrived here sew.
eral days ago to take charge of the
prisoner, left again last night without
him.

NO LIBRARY BONDS NOW

The Herald was foremost in favoring
Central park as the site for a public
library when the subject was under dis.
cusson. 1t regretted the judicial de-
cision that the park was not available
for the purpose. Now 1t is pleased
with the final Judgment of the supreme
court to the effect that the library
structure may be erected in the park.
But, greatly as The Herald would
be pleased to see a library building
worthy of Los Angeles in the pretty
park setting, it cannot favor a propo-
sition, at this time, to raise funds for
the purpose by bond issue. This be-
cause the Owens river water project
towers in Importance far above all
other public enterprises in the city, in
voving large sums of money. No bond
proposition of any kind should be con-
sldered prior to the call for the first
instaIlment Of funds required for the
great aqueduct
The credit Of Los Angeles in the
eastern money markets is at the high
est notch and the citys bonds are
rated as gilt edged. 1t would not be
wise, however. to take any chances of
impairing the prospects for floating
the big water bond issue, probably Of
S5,OOO,O 900, by interjecting a bond issue
for any other purpose.
The suggestion that sufficient funds
for the library building might be
raised by popular subscription is we'll
worthy OF consideration. 1t certainly
seems feasible in view of the recent
success in raising. by such means. the
large sum subscribed for the new build
ing of the Young Mems Christian as.
ISOLATION. There are intimarions that
a large sum is assured as starter for
library building subscription, and
there is hardly doubt that the requi-
site amount might be obtained by that
method.
It would be another striking

il a handsome library structure were
erected in the park and wholly paid for
by the people OF the city. That would
be infinitely more pleasing to civic
pride than either a building erected
by the proceeds of borrowed money or
one given as present on the Carnegie
plan
Fortunately the public library is wen
provided for temporarily and the

ESPERANTIST SOCIETY
ATTRACTING MEMBERS

The Esperantist society met last
evening in Assembly hall, Blanchard
building. The members are gradually
increasing in number and every meet
ing has greater interest as the les
sons progress farther and farther into
the mysteries of Esperanto.
The language which is taken from
ten of the principal tongues of the
earth, attracts everybody. for as the
lessons get farther along, more and
more words from their own mother
tongue appear and give them feeling
of companionship.
The meetings are thus gaining in
popularity, for when foreigner comes
to Los Angeles and feels lonely all he
has to do is to go to the Esperantist
meeting and he will find the people
there talking his own native tongue.

USEFUL ONLY IN SAFE HANDS

1t is the Democratic principle OF
home rule that is sustained by the
supreme court of California in the de-
cision affirming the constitutionality
of the initiative and referendum. That
principle. as embodied in the charter
of Los Angeles city, is legally unas-
saiable. 1t is principle not only
fundamentally DenIocrntlc 0ut one
which is Incorporated in the Demo-
cratic state platform framed by the
late convention at Sacramento, as fol-
lows
1--WE, as Democrats. turning always
to the people as the source of all polit-
ica power, believe in the system of
direct Legislation. including the inin-
tive and referendum, and we believe
in the submission of constitutional
amendment which shall provide for
direct legislation, state county and
municipal"
But while the Democratic party be-
leves in the principle of direct legis-
lation, it recognizes the fact that such
features as the initia .ivr, the referen-
dun and the recall should be en-
ployed only in cases of clearly defined
necessity. Like the special railway
brakes, they are designed for use only
in emergencies And. like a gun or
a pistol. they may prove to be of the
highest service on occasion. but it is
dangerous to allow fools to neddle
with them.
1t is important, iii view of the su
preme courts decision to impress the
foregoing sentence upon the minds Of
all thoughtful citizens OF Los Angeles.
This city, unfortunately. has in its
popula tion considerable element of
POLITICAL adventurors and dcmagogues
who would run direct legislation into
the ground if they could have their
way. 1t is not a difficult matter to
put the machinery of direct Legislation
in motion, but it is expensive for the
city to do so at any time, md the neces-
sity for such action is likely to be
extremely rare.
The initiative. referendum and recall
are like the strength of a giant-a
mighty good thing to have. but a
mighty bad one to use without the
greatest circumspection.

UNIVERSITY CAR
LEAVES THE TRACK

A Traction University street car ran
off the track at Twenty fourth street
and Vermont avenue this morning at
lis o'clock.
After leaving the tracks the car ran
into the curb and overturned.
There were no passengers on the car
when the accident occurred and neither
the motorman nor the conductor were
injured with the exception Of slight
bruises
According to the police the car was
running at a rate Of twenty miles an
hour when the accident occurred and,
owing to the slippery condition of the
tracks, due to the heavy fog, the brake
failed to operate properly Wien the
car struck the curve.
The car was on it's last trip to the
city and the motorman apparently was
trying to get to the barn as quickly
as possible.

CATCHES MAN WITH GOODS

Sebastian Rena. said by the police
to be a notorious crook, was yesterday
morning arrested at the Good Samari-
tan lodging house by oficer Rockoff.
Rena was seen to slide down the
drain pipe of the building and was
given a cordial welcome by the officer
as he reached the ground. With him
he had brought some blankets, shoes
clothing and an assortment Of small
articles, which he Is supposed to have
stolen from the rooming house.
Rena was indignant when accused
of thaft by the officer, but he could
find no excuse for the assortment OF
merchandise which he had dropped
to the ground as he descended the
drain pipe. and was consequently hur-
ried to the police station.

THE S0UTHLhND'S RESPONSE
Chairman spcnacy Of the Democratic
state committee says; IF the Demo-
Gratis and good government Republicans
OF the south do as we'll or half as we'll.
as those Of the north, Theodore A. Bell
Will be the next governor OF California" !"
What Is the prospective response to
that appeal to the southland? viii it
be the tangible Omission in the cleo
ton returns three weeks hence that
rthe Democrats and good government
Republicans OF the south could not do
half as well as those Of the north2"
Not by tank full.
The Democrats and the independent
Republicans have not in cen years been
so thoroughly aroused as they are i'm
the present campaign, Just ten years
ago, in fact, the Democratic and their
independent Republican allies came
within small margin OF a plurality i'm
Southern California, and that was in a
presidential contest. In, She former
period the Republican allies were at
tracted by the free silver issue, while
at the present time the attraction Is a
common purpose to down" corporate
monopoly and machine politics.
If the Democratic and Republican
allies do one-fourth as we'll (not one
half as they did ten years ago in the
southland. Theodore A. Bell will be
elected by a handsome plurality
on the former occasion the Republi-
can plurality in Los Angeles county
was cut to S24, in Grange county to 191,
in Riverside to 375, i'm San -rnardino
to II, in Ventura to 81. on the con-
trary, San Diego gave a Democratic
plurality of 29S and Santa Barbara a
plurality of 16.
Is there any reason why the vital
issues in TIE present campaign should
not attract more Republican votes to
the Democratic ticket than the silver
issue attracted in 1896?
But if the Independents poll for Bell

hachap They look to Southern Cali
forpia to overcome that plurality and

1t is said, in fact, that the Republican
leaders are depending upon plurality
of 100000 in Southern California. There
is no basis whatever for such a claim
except the phenomenal vote for Roose-
welt in 1904, which was result of the
Democrats permitting the election to
GO by default
The Democrats and good government
Republicans of t, south will do 2
great deal better than the requirement
indicated by Chairman Spellacy. The
Democrats of this section Of the state
are preparing to make the political
fight of their lives, and Independent
Republicans realize that the present
issues are infinitely more important
than the old silver issue.
