With both the straight Republican
and Democratic machines actively in
favor of machine politics and partisan
ship in municipal affairs, it's up to
the taxpayers and all patriotic citi-
zens who desire the progress and well
fare of Los Angeles to smash both
machines and give to this city an
honest and decent and business ad-
ministration. Lee C. Gates should be
elected mayor by large plurality.

THE DANNlNG EVIDENCE


About three centuries ago Ben jon
son wrote this. picture is the inven-
ton Of heaven: the most ancient and
most akin to nature. It is itself a
silent work and always Of one and the
same habit. Sometimes It overcomes
the power Of speech and orasory."
That Jonsonian sentiment seems al
most prophetic H. the light of recent
political events in California. For in
stance, how akin to nature" is that
picture Of James N. Gillett, candidate
for governor by the grace of the S.
P.-Repubican machine, in his pose at
the Santa Cruz banquet.
The satisfaction felt by the candidate
at his prearranged nomination, and the
feeling Of gratitude toward his spon-
sors, Ruef and Parker, are reflected in
every lineament of his face.
How lifelike and charact eristic, also.
is the sinister expression in the coun-
tenance OF Abe Ruef, as he feels the
hand Of Glllett resting lovingly upon
his shoulder. Gaze at that picture in
tently for a moment and 1t will seem
that you can almost hear Ruef whisper,
I'm not here for my health"
And how particularly "a<in to ma
ture" is the stolid, absolutely ex-
pressionless face of Boss Parker, in
erm-touch with Gllett and with vacu-
GUS gaze in the general direction of the
central figure in the group-Abe Ruef,
the man who delivered" the San Fran
cisco votes which gave Gillett the NOM
nation.
Did grand cid Ben Jonson foresee the
sequel, in the present California cam
paign, of his declaration that a picture
sometimes "overcomes the power of
speech and oratory"?
Never was a written sentiment more
clearly realized than in this case. That
Santa Cruz pictorial reminder of the
handwriting on the wall'' at Babylon
defies not only the speech and oratory'
Of all the Republican spellbinders in
California but all the ink-slingers of
the Republican press as well.
How utterly impotent and ridiculous
are the attempts of Gillett and the
whole S. P.-Republican machine to
climb over, crawl around or squirm
through that example of what Jonson
calls "the invention of heaven the
photograph of Gillett and his chums at
the Santa Cruz banquet.
Says Gillett in his speeches, since the
prison doors have begun to swing open
for Ruef's admission: "I am utterly
opposed to such methods as those of
Gallagher and Ruef' How much he is
opposed" may be inferred from his pic
torial pose at the banquet.
Was it not one of those methods
whereby Gillett obtained the nomina-
tion for governor? And certainly Gil
lett has not been accused, at any stage
of the campaign, of such base ingrati-
tude as a real going back" on Ruef
would imply at this juncture.
Ben Jonson's estimate of the picture |
fits the Gillett- -Ruef-Parke episode at
Santa Cruz like the paper on the |
wall" The more the combines spell
binders attempt to decry the signifi-
canoe of that picture, and the more the
Republican organs try to follow suit,
the more evident it is to voters that
Gillett is tarred with the combines
stick and that the tar mark is as in
delible as the mark the Almighty set
upon Cain.

ambition o'erleaps itself" and it looks
now as If the combine had jumped over

President Roosevelt has never yet
said a word in behalf of Gillett. On
the contrary he has emphatically re-
iterated his letter to r. C. Dale of
Kern unity. in which he said that
81 cannot mix in a state fight" He
is mixing" in New York, all right,
but he knows Gillett is not his kind
of a Republican.

Does anybody suppose for a mo-
ment that Theodore Roosevelt would
give an instants encouragement to
Abe Ruef, William f. Herrin, Walter
Parker and James N. Gillett? Not this
year. His excoriation of Hearst is a
sufficient answer.

That social function" at Santa
Cruz, where James N. Gillett's picture
was taken with his hand resting low
ingly on the shoulder of Abe Ruef,
cannot be obliterated. 1t is only too
true.

Gillett at banquet in Washington

The Wages Of Sin

You may not sin for its wages,
But you have TO pay, just the same;
You may shirk all the consequences,
Burt you cannot evade the blame.
For sin claims it's measure for measure;
Perhaps you may think you delay.
But the penalty grows with postpone
ment:
The uttermost farthing, you'n pay.
The price is inherent in shining;
The sin is its own penalty;
Good has reward, but the evil
Hath nothing but evil for thee.

"OId Man Nesbit" as he came to be
called, was a lawyer by profession a
dreamer by habit. He made living, for
he was mentally gifted enough to pick
up" few dollars whenever necessity
aroused his usually dormant energy. But
ordinarily he dreamed and "loafed.
Nesbt's fad was bicycling. He owned
half a dozen wheels, and the craze Tor
riding grew on him until he was able to
think of nothing else. At last he began
to devote all his time to racing with
young boys of the vicinity, leaving his

parents of several of the boys would not
permit them to take out their bicycles,
Slipping away from home the boys would
go to Nesbit's house, borrow wheel
