WOMAN TEACHERS, HAVING NO
VOTES, WILL BE IGNORED

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20.-GEdilor
Herald: When the time comes for
selecting a successor to DR.. Moore, the
superintendent of schools, will the
women teachers of Los Angeles be In
a position to assist him?
They will not. The superintendent
will be selected by the school board,
which in turn has been elected by the
voters.
The women teachers may pass reso-
lutions of confidence, but no one Is
retained in Office because of resolu-
tions of confidence by non-7oters.
Votes talk. and women teachers are
not voters. j..
BY disfranchisernent they are denied
the privilege of helping their friends
or rewarding efficient officers.
The disgrace of disfranehisement was
never more apparent. s.

San Pedro harbor, which is destined
to become one of the greater sea-
ports of the United States, deserves
such thorough protection by fortifica-
ton that it will be able to resist any
possible attack. The fortifcation oi
San Pedro is necessitated by the con-
stantly expanding commerce of the ma
tion. 1t is gratifying to learn that the
military board which has had the mat
ter under consideration has prepared
plans which will make San Pedro 'as
safe as Gibraltar" and is about to sub

Bryan Victoriousi!
Our God has decreed IT,
Yea, let the loud salvos
OF Vict'ry resound:
Oh, peal us an anthem,
Ye Patriots heed it;
At last for the people.
A true leader is found.
A Moses TO lead them,
Through red sea of billows.
From troubles that menace
This great liberty's land;
From trusts, gratis and combines,
Whose tentaces fasten.
Their claws on the people.
At the combines command.
Bryan Victorious,!
Our safety demands it,
The cries of the people
Great Jehovah hath heard.
Their liberties menaced.
AS each understands IT.
And hopes for deliverance-
They have faith In His word
AS did sons of Israel
when dangers them threatened,
In red seas of trouble.
That o'erwhelmed them in fear;
Relied on their leader
For safety, deliverance,
He never there failed them.
And he won't fail them here.
Bryan Victorious!
Alone he trod winepress,
with the Armor of Truth.
He the victory won:
The nations despolers,
He's trampled in fury,
For downtrodden people,
This great work he has done:
Behold like pillar
OF cloud in the day time,
That peerless defender
or the peoples great cause,
At night twas of fire.
A campaign of whiriwind
Exposing despoilers
And the tramplers on laws.

And wins the great battle.
Yea. for each and for all.

The affair may be summed up as In

the idea is gaining ground through the
failure of the leading nations to fly

will say that 1t Is the material interest
of the nations that holds them back.
War Is costly, usually to the winner as

nations, the statesman of today Will

being built. The houses are wooden
and many of them are situated In To-
calities where the f1re-fghting machin-
cry is not of the most modern type
The companies offered to insure the
places at premiums, varying from $2.55
to S4.25, allowing 10 per cent discount.
This would have cost the $50 settlers
the price of about two houses year.
The government program provides
for the building of 500 new houses
within the next two years. This will
bring the total number UP to 700
houses. According to the departmental
estimates, IL the government were to
accept the insurance companies terms
1t would cover the cost of six houses q
year In insuring this number: The
government hopes instead to charge
the settlers less than would the COM
panies, yet establish a substantial fund
from which to meet all losses.

ter in this city. besides his children
to whom the sympathy of the whole city
