POTENCY OF BOOSTING"

The pull together idea which The
Herald urges on occasion for Los An
geles has been adopted in Redlands
with slight variation. The pretty hub
Of the orange industry proposes to
push" instead Of "pulP--a distinction
with only an inconsequentlal differ
ence in this connection. The Redlands
idea Is an excellent one, however. and
every other city and town in Southern
California might prohtably initiate 1t,
A Boosters club has been organized
In Redlands with a large number Of
prominent citizens 81 charter members
and with the prospect that the general
membership will embrace most of the
adult community. The salient object
of the club Is stated in an article of its
constitu tion thus: 1.-The promotion Of
the best interests OF Redlands and its
Inhabitants" 1t is a laudable purpose
and it will be followed by the energy
Characteristic of Redlands people.
The title of the Boosters club might
not stand the test of philologlc criticism,
but it is mighty suggestive, which is
more important. The noun "boost" is
defined as "a lift either literally or
figuratively; as, to give one a boost"
The transitlve verb implies 'to lift or
raise by pushing from behind, as per-
son climbing tree" There can be no
question, therefore, about the appro-
prlateness of a boosters club "devoted
to the best interests of Redlands and
its inha bitants."
Los Angeles has several boosters
clubs" but under other names, chief
OF which is the chamber of commerce.
This city, from the time of its modern
beginning, has recognized the impor-
tance of associations of public spirited
citizens devoted to the boosting" of
Los Angeles, The benefit derived from
the activity of these bodies is incalcu-
liable, 1t is safe to say that without
such associated effort this city would
today be far behind the magnificent
showing it makes among the leading
cities of the United States.
The movement here noted in Red
lands is important because 1t commends
itself to all other communities in the
southland. All the larger cities and
towns in this section of the state have
business organizations,
but the Redlands idea is to give special
to such matters as making
the city attractive to homeseekers and
investors, and in pushing public i'm
Pull together, push together, stick
together" would be a good motto for
every community in Southern Califor-

GoT'EM GOING KEEP 'EM GOING

The earnestness and activity of the
Democratic campaign in Southern Cali
fornia has resulted in CONSERVATION
among the bosses, and especially among
the hirelings OF the Southern Pacific
railroad, who wearily admit that if the
election were held tomorrow Theodore
A. Bell and the whole state Democratic
ticket would be elected by at least $4,000
majority,
The last hope of the machine is that
between now and election day
"somet thing will turn up"-something
will be concocted to deceive and
confuse the voters so that the land
slide against the Southern Pacific may
be headed off
The few Republican organs that are
supporting the Santa Cruz ticket are
shouting frantically after the disap-
pearing Republican voter and vainly
beseeching him to believe that Bell Ia
not what he seems; that Bell is a
union laborite; that Herrn is a Demo-
crat and runs the Democratic party
and that Bell is somewhere or somehow
besmirched by the Southern Pacific
stick.
Their antics would be funny if the
subject were not so serious. They
know the truth. They know that Bell
is not a union labor agitator; they
know that Bell is the sworn enemy of
the Southern Pacific machine and all
its emissares; they know that Herrin
has always confined his operations to
the successful manipulation of the Re-
publican machine; they know that the
private and public character OF Theo-
dore A. Bell is absolutely above hon.
est suspicion and that he will be elected
governor of California.
And that's what hurts the Repub-
lican organising and little. They have
become hysterical over the vision of
overvv helmng defeat that is ever with
them. They see the wonderful defec-
ton in the Republican ranks; they are
consC ious OF the fact that the Demo-
cratic party has met all its promises
to the people by recognizing itself, by

between now and election day is more
voters for the state Demo-
cratic ticket, for as the campaign
reaches its conclusion every man,
woman and child will be convinced that
the only hope OF the people for saliva
ton from the Southern Pacific Repub-
lican bosses and the exactions Of the
Pacific Railroad company is
by and through the election Of Theo-
dore A. Bell and the entire state Demo-
cratic ticket The day is played out

gans can point TO Boss Herrin, Boss

LANGpoN AND RUFF

Acting Mayor Gallagher Of San Fran
cisco has suspended District Attorney
Langdon from office for neglect Of duty
and absence from the city when his
services we're daily in demand, and has
appointed Abe Ruef in his stead
In suspending Langdon the acting
mayor did right, for Langdon has sig
nally and notoriously neglected his
duty. More than that when the situa-
tion in San Francisco became so intense
that an investigation of Ruef and
Mayor schmitz was demanded by every
honest citizen, Langdon. whose occu-
pancy of office was due to the friend
ship Of Ruef and schmitz, did not have
the courage or the disposition to pro-
ceed against his friends, but remained
away from San francisco and appointed
Heney as his deputy, to do those things
which Langdon himself was elected
to do
Not content with that palpable failure
to do his duty, Langdon proceeded to
interview himself in the Hearst yell
lows, prating so loudly about what
Heney expected to do that every guilty
man was apprised Of the movements
Of the district attorneys office and
given warning of what might happen.
Langdon we'll knew the power Of Abe
Ruef in the government of San Fran
cisco, and If he had attended to his
own duties as a sworn officer of the
law the people Of California could not
have been disgraced and made
ashamed by the appointment of Abe
Ruef as district attorney.
If Langdon had stuck to his post in
stead of gallivanting about the state
as a Hearst hired man in silly effort
to run for governor, the humiliation of
San Francisco might have been pre-
vented.
The Hearst yelows will now yawp
and yawp in vain effort to make
martyr of Langdon, when every Cali
fornian knows that the appointment of
Abe Ruef to prosecute Abe Ruef would
not have been possible but for Lang
don's persistent neglect Of duty and
repeated failures to serve the people
whom he had sworn to serve.
As for San Francisco, its disgrace is
complete. Justice has been ruthlessly
thwarted by the most barefaced and
outrageous conduct on the part of the
acting mayor in appointing as dis
trict attorney man who was es-
pecially under suspicion and whose
Investigation was a bout to follow a
session of the grand jury.
But had Langdon attended to his
official business, the acting mayor
would have had neither the power
nor the opportunity to thwart the will
