Church Gets Help.
The Virginia Chassis of the Reform
ed church reconvened in Trinity
church, Mt. Crawford, Friday morning
with an increased attendance of dele
gates and on the part of the congrega-
tion. President Kieffer announced
the standing committees. which are
each composed of two ministers and
one elder.
Under the head of overtures the
pastoral relations between Rev. A.
Shulenberger and the Edinburg charge
were dissolved, and Rev. Shulenber-
ger was dismissed to the North Car
olina Chassis of the Potomac synod. A
request of one of the charges to have
it's apportionment reduced provoked
an interesting discussion. Final deci-
sion was suspended awaiting the re-
Winchester charge was granted sus-
.entation to the amount of $40 to
supplement the pastors salary. The
committee on minutes of Potomac
synod has several items referred to
the standing commute on missions.
Two invitations for the next meet
ing of Chassis were received-from
Grace church, Rinkerton, and Centen-
airy Reformed church, Winchester. The
latter was accepted and Chassis will
accordingly convene in Winchester
May 90, 1907.

Mr.. Lambert is a former mayor of the
city. has occupied the position of
treasurer for the past two years, and
was regarded as "a good councilman
aud a strong candidate. Mcdowell
victory was therefore a feature OF the
election.
The vote on tie special levy is a
matter of ~guesswork, pure and simple.
That 1t was beaten is positive and re.
grettable, but the figures are net oh

the scramble TO get at the returns for

The result of the election will leave
sffairs in exactly the same condition
that has obtained for the past two
years-a democratic mayor, nine DEM
ocratic aud one republican council
men. Mr.. Harrison def ated one OF
he strongest and most popular repub-
licans in the city and he is entitled
to the chief honors of the election.
He made a clean campaign, used M
money illegally, and went before the
voters solely on his merits AS a citi
zen. The same came can be said of
Mr.. Kline. and the defeat of the latter
is no discredit to him. He was pitted
against a man of peculiar fitness for
the office of mayor, with a large fol-

other man of his party would have
An analysis OF tho vote shows that the
friends of Mr.. Harrison, both demo-.
cratic and republican, loyallv sup
uofted him. while the fight of the re.
publicans was centered chiefly on
the councilmanic ticket
There were l,501 votes cast for
mayor, of which Harrison received
1888, Kline 66i and Bert 81. Harrison's
plurality is l22. and his majority yer
both his rspuN lican and prohibitionist
opponent. is SO.
The prohibitionist vote for council
men was somewhat larger than for
mayor. owing to the heavy vote polled
by Dunn in the third ward. About
100 votes were cast for the prohibit
florist candidates for council.
The vote on the special levy was not
TUNED in from several of the pre-
%cincts, leaving the actual vote a mat
ter OF speculation. So far AS indicated
by the eturns the pronositioD is badly
beaten. Eight precincts show a vote
of $50 for the levy and 422 against 1t.
The missing precincts will not make
the slightest change in the result, as
it requires three. fifth OF the vote TO
carry it, and it has not even a ma
jority.
The accompanying table will show
the vote for ma OF and council in de-

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES

In the midst of the most promising
efforts to harmonic and unity the
Democratic party of California, so that
the coming campaign may result in a
sweeping victory, the city politicians
are here and there mauifesting a spir-
tied desire to trot out candidates for
positions on the state ticket.
By common consent the Democrats
have left to the state convention dele
gates the duty and pleasure of naming
the ticket and 1t would be unwise to
interfere in any formal way with that
arrangement. There is no objection, of
course, to announcements by candi-
dates themselves, since the material
will have to come into view and be
threshed over carefully, but for San
Francisco or Los Angeles to tie them
selves up to candidates wherewith to
renew the old quarrels at the state
Democratic convention is not good poll
tics.
Los Angeles has enough material to
furnish forth the whole state ticket. so
far as material goes. but the program
of harmony precludes a tie-up to cam
didates. Counties and cities should
have their "favorite sons" and spread
abroad all the literature necessary to
inform the party and the people as to
their claims and qualities, but it would
be a great mistake to send an in
structed delegation from any portion OF
California to the state Democratic con-
vention. Let candidates be talked
about, but as far as possible the field
should be left comparatively unoccu-
pied until the Democratic delegates
shall have been named from all the
counties. In this way the freedom of
the situation will be preserved and
harmony be fully achieved.

Cars VIII Garry coIored Lights
by Which They Can Be Distin-
uuished at Night-GeneraI
Railway News

General Manager SCHNEIDER of the
Pacific Electric railway has found a
plan by which it is hoped that pas
sengers will be able to distinguish the
difference between suburban cars on
dark nights.
Passengers wishing to take a car in
the outer districts of the city at night
cannot now distinguish one car from
another on account of being blinded by
the bright headlight. Frequently they
have stopped a car and found that it
was not the trolley which they wished
to board. This has caused much incon-
venienCe to the railway employees and
has caused the unnecessary loss of
time.
BY the new plan each car will be
furnished with a colored light by
which it can be distinguished. 1t is
hoped by the management of the road
that the people will soon learn the cars
by the lights.
The colors of the lights and the lines
upon which they will be used are as
follows:
Southern division-red, Long Beach;
white, Whittier; blue. San Pedro:
green. Santa Ana; yellow. Newport
Beach,
Northern divison-Green, San Ga
briel; red, Monrovia; blue, Pasadena;
yellow, Sierra Madre.
The lights will be equipped with re-
movable lenses of different colors that
can be changed whenever a car is
shifted from one run to another.

TEDDY FOR A THIRD TERN

Jacob Riis declared in a recent inter-
view that President Roosevelt would
consent, under certain conditions that
are fast approaching, to be again
candidate for the presidency.
Judge Alton 3. Parker now prophe-
sizes that Roosevelt will be candidate.
He goes further and AYERS that Roose-
welt intended from the first to again
enter the field.
If Mr.. Roosevelt should be nominated
by the national Republican convention
to succeed himself he would be de-
feated. 1t is highly probable he would
receive a larger vote than any other
Republican now in the public eye, but
defeat would be certain.
This for the reason that the people
are making up their minds that the
Republican party has served its day
and generation and must get out. 1t
is held responsible for the marvellous
financial combinations that have over
ridden the country, because by its
legislation it has encouraged the build
ing up and extension of special priv
ileges.
For more than forty years the Re-
publican party has been in power at
Washington, and while there are to its
credit certain periods of prosperity
there is also to its discredit long
list of tyrannous, treacherous and dam
gerous ills from which only now are the
people beginning to harvest and appre-
ciate the fruit. The history of Repub-
licanism in the nation has of late years
become a history of frenzied finance
The party has passed into the control
of trusts and the aggregated wealth of
the country, so that the common peo-
pie find themselves too often debarred
from the legislative and judicial de-
partments of their own government.
They are weary of seeing all their
reforms contemptuously spurned;
weary of being told that their wrongs
are largely imaginary and that Repub-
licanism is the fetch they must wor-
ship.
President Roosevelt is apparently in
advance of his party on these ques-
tions, but If he is to be nominated as
the candidate OF his party he might
better resist the temptation at once
and retire on the laurels he has won.
This isn't going to be a good year for
third termers or for Republicans of
any degree.

CAPITOL BIDDERS
ARE OVER LIMIT
STATE HOUSE REM0DELING
TENDERS OPENED
Total Sum of Lowest Figures Exceeds
Amount Allowed by Legislature
by $3s,ooo-May Be
Reduced
BY Associated Press.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March 16.-The
state capitol commission this afternoon
opened bids for remodeling the capitol,
as provided for by the legislature at
it's last session, when 1852, 200 was APP
propriated for the purpose.
The entire work to be done was
divided into eleven subdivisions. with
alternative proposals for nearly all these
subdivisions, and upon this basis many
bids were received. In every instance,
however, the bidders first submitted
tenders in the form of direct bids.
The total of the lowest bids on the
several subdivisions far exceeds the APP
preparation made by the legislature,
but it is possible that through the adop-
ton of alternative propositions the cost
of the work may be kept reasonably
near the estimates upon which the ap-
preparation was based. The total of the
lowest bids figured nearly $4S5,0O0.
The lowest bidders We're:
EXcavating, filling, concrete, brick,
terra Gotta, stone and granite work.
John Hays. Los Angeles, $94946.
Iron work-Charles A. Palm. Sacra-
mento, $47,7S7; alternative, if dome is
omitted, deduct $165O.
Carpenterng, plastering, glazing and
electric work - James Campbell, San
Francisco, $126,9
Plumbing and gas fitting-ScOtt, Ly-
man &, Stack, Sacramento, $23,S50.
Steam heating and ventilating Rus
sell-Vail Engineering company, Stock
ton, $4,000.
Galvanized iron, timing, roofing.
stating, fireproof and metal lath work
-Roebling Construction company, San
Francisco, $5S,S0O.
Painting and granting 49, Len Hend-
ricks, Santa Rosa, $11,149.
Elevators-Bryan Elevator company
San Francisco, $12,65
Stairways and ornamental grill work
"A. Merle company, San Francisco,
$37, 4SO.
Marble work-Columbia Marble com
pany, San Francisco, Sal 1923.
All work under head of scagliola-
Warehouse e Price company, San
Francisco. $31,4
The Columbia Marble company also
submitted a bid of $S4,S75 for all mar
BILE, thing and scagliola work.
Late this afternoon the commission
and II. A. Schulze, the consulting archi-
tect, have, by deciding to adopt certain
ALTERNATIVE propositions, reduced the ag-
gregate of bids down to an amount
about $4,000 in excess of the appropri-
alton.
By further pruning, It was believed
that the toal cost of the work could
be reduced to the exact amount of the
money available for the remodelng of
the building.
The commission indicated, in response
to questions by several representatives
of organized labor, that all the work
would be done by contractors who are
"fair."
The afternoon session of the capitol
commission was devoted to an examin-
alton of the bids. 1t was at once found
that the aggregate of the lowest ten
ders in each specification would exceed
the appropriation. Inasmuch as the
appropriation called for certain work,
it became a question if that work
could be legally curtailed for the pur-
pose of bringing the cost within the
amount named, and it was determined
to refer the matter to the attorney gem
eral for his opinion before proceeding
with the matter.

THE board Of education is finding it
an imperative necessity to push every
point in the direction of the building of
the new schoolhouses in order that
they may be completed by the begin
ming of the fall term in September. The
rapid increase of school children in
Los Angeles makes it necessary to fur
nish them with adequate rooms and

energies in building the eight school
houses and additions now in process Of

ADVERTISING LOS ANGELES

1t is probable that Los Angeles will
install and maintain an exhibit of
Southern California products and a
depot for the distribution of Southern
California literature at Atlantic City.
The interchangeable Frank Virgins is
headed that way for this purpose
and Virgins usually gets what he
goes after.
Atlantic City plays host TO $500, 900
eastern visitors every season, brief as
the season is there. Its famous board
walk is lined with attractions of every
sort. People throng up and down this
unique thoroughfare and spend hours
gazing at one another and at the booths
and sights that flank it. An exhibit of
Southern California interests will at
tract more attention there than could
be concentrated upon it at any other
one place in the United States, barring
the Flatiron building in New York and
the national capitol.
The avowed purpose of this exhibit
is, of course, to advertise Los Angeles
anu SOUTHERN NdjllOIIlld' IIlCluGIlldlly .
it will help to checkmate the selfish
efforts of eastern coast railroads which
are trying to divert winter travel to
Cuba. This scheme has already met
with failure, but it is just as well to
carry the war against it into the very
heart of the enemy's country. A show
ing of Southern California products,
views, facts and litera ture will do more
to finish up the fake Cuba boom than
anything else could.
And, by the way, the action of the
Los Angeles chamber of commerce in
taking up this fight, and the active
efforts of Secretary Virgins, are in
striking contrast to that lack of any
move on the part of that moribund
and practically defunct affair, the Gal
ifornia Promotion bureau" which
hangs out in the Fog city's ferry office.
This adjunct to 'Frisco's publicity
hasn't made a move along this line.
