LET THE PEOPLE RULE.

From the editorials that are 60

ment of the metropolitan press one
would suppose that we were in Rus
STA instead of America, says Bryan S
Commoner. These papers talk of the
democratic convention as if the vO-
ters of the party would not be allow
ed to express themselves on platform
or candidate. We are told that the
leaders will insist on this and insist
on that, as if a man could be lead
er without followers. A man is a
leader only when he is going in the
same direction that the people are
When he opposes what the people
want, he ceases to be a leader The
men who have made a business asset
of government and who control
newspapers merely for the purpose
of sandbagging every exponent of
popular government and for the pur-
pose of tiattering every official who
betrays his trust, these men will not
control the democratic convention.
They will neither be present them
selves nor will they be represented
by proxy. They will be found where
they have always been found, assasi-
mating democracy and all who stand
for democracy, but the Investigations
of the last few years have robbed
these papers of their fangs. They
strike as madly as of yore, but their
influence for harm is very much

will of the voters is supreme. When

WHAT CAUSES INDIGESTION
To Be Cured, Weakness of Stomach
Muscles Must BE Overcome

To Be Cured, Weakness of Stomach
Muscles Must BE Overcome.
The chief cause of indigestion is
weakness of the 81 mach muscles
and lack of gastric juices.
BY taking Mi-o-na stomach tablets
the stomach muscles will be stimu-
lated and strenthened and the
flow of gastric juices will be in
creased. Mi-o-na does not do the
stomach's work; it makes the stom-
ach strong enough to do it, and in
this way completely cures the weak
ness so there is no further need of
medicine.
No matter how severe a case of
stomach trouble you have, Mio-na
will cure 1t by strengthening your
digestive system so that both stom-
ach and bowels do their work as
they should.

fund the money If the remedy does

ACTRESS ApMlRER HARD HIT BY

Young Lochinvar from the Sagebrush
State Experiences Difficulty In

Thespian

10 In the corridors of the Alexandra
hotel, in the mission grill, and In many
Los Angeles homes where he has otter
visited, they are talking of j. H
(Harry) Macmillan, the young Nevada
mining promoter and his suit for the
hand of Edna Goodrich, erstwhile Nat
Goodwin's leading woman, and at one
time a member of the Florodora sextet.
Harry Macmillan is as well known
in Los Angeles as any man who halls
from Nevada, and it was in this city
that he met Miss Goodrich. The cou-
pie We're to have been married June 10,
but there are vague, indefinite rumors
to the effect that the wedding has been
postponed and there is bare possi-
bility that it may never occur.
Like all the other men of Nevada,
Macmillan felt severely the effect of
the slump in mining stocks and it is
reported that he had nearly 100000 on
deposit in one of the many banks that
failed when the financial panic en-
gulfed the sage brush state. What this
reverse of fortune has to do with the
rumored postponement of the wedding
is not stated, but for some reason Gu
pid's dart has been DETECTED from its
true course and the little god of love
hovers sorrowfully about the home in
Berkeley, where the marriage was to
have been solemnized June 10.
Both Have Had Meteorlc Careers
Both Edna Goodrich and Harry Mac
MILAN have had meteoric careers. A
short time ago Edna Goodrich, now 20
years Cf age, was an unknown little
girl in her teens, member Of the
famous "Florodora" sextet of which
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was member.
Her beauty attracted attention, and
she was taken into Nat Goodwin S
company, where quickly she gained
public favor, taking one after an
other of the roles in which Maxine Ell
liott, Goodwin's wife, had scored, and
making a hit in them.
Two years ago, while entering upon
this promise of brilliant theatrical
future, she met Harry Macmillan, who
of obscurity in the newspaper world to
a successful lessee In the Goldfield min
ing camp. Macmillan fell in love- and
since then has made numerous trips to
New York to follow the stage sue
cesses of his charmer. Ee is about 80
years of age.
Last year while Edna Goodrich was
out here with Goodwin's company she
figured in a sensational loss of $4,000
worth of diamonds, said to have been
taken from her rooms in the Hotel
Tourraine in Oakland. A chambermaid
was suspected Of the theft and was
arrested, and very soon thereafter one
$500 diamond solitaire ring was found
secreted in a drawer In a linen closet
to which the chambermaid had access

extinct aborigines still to be found in
the far north of the islands.
This interesting declaration is made
by DR.. N. c. Munro, a physician, an
author, an anthropologist, and a MEM
ber of many anthropological and sci
entific societies, who has devoted the
past few years to investigating and
extensive excavations at his own ex-
pense, to determine what manner of
beings occupied Japan in prehistoric
times.
The Japanese of today, he says, are
a mixture of Mongolian invaders, Ma
laysian and Negrite settlers in the
south, and a small tincture of Aryan
stock, probably Persian. with blend
ing of the original Anus.

SEVEN MASKED MEN
HOLD UP PASSENGERS
ON GREAT NORTHERN
BY Associated Press.

BUTTE, Mont, May 3O.--A Miner
special from Great Falls, Mont, says
that northbound Great Northern pas
senger train was held up this evening
about mile and a half from this city
by seven masked men at 1890 o'clock,
the train being run onto a siding by
the bandits, who fired a fusillade of
shots up and down the train.
William Dempsey, an Augusta ranch
er, was shot through the leg in at
tempting to escape from the train
after it had been stopped, and Conduc-
tor Hayes was compelled by the rob-
bers to precede them in passing
through the cars, he carrying a hat
in which the passengers were invited
to dump what cash they had about
them.
Most of them depositedfrom one to
ten dollars and the booty of the des-
peradoes is not believed to be greater
than several hundred dollars.
While the passengers were being
robbed several of the highwaymen
stood guard at the doors of the cars
to prevent the passengers from leav-
ing.
The robbers finally jumped off the
coaches and disappeared In the dark
ness. Rain is falling heavily and the
night is so dark that no trace of the
bandits could be found, although posses
were in pursuit within twenty minutes
after the outlaws had left the train.

CAFES PAY LITTLE
HEED TO ORDERS
APPEAR TO CONSIDER 'ORDI.
NANCE A JOKE
Five Places Visited by Reporters and
All Are Found Crowded and
No Attention Paid to
Law

Do the cafe promoters of Los Angeles
consider the order of the police COM
mission that no liquor shall be sold
without meals after midnight Saturday
until midnight Sunday merely a huge
joke? Or do they consider 1t bluff ?
In whatever light they lora at it, the
result of the ruling that the law
henceforth will be enforced does not
seem to have been taken seriously. At
least it was not observed after mid
night last night, when two reporters
of The Herald went into five or more
of the downtown cafes and purchased
liquor without eating.
The reporters saw the usual night
crowds in their usual places-some at
tables in the front. drinking beer and
other intoxicating liquor, without a
sign of anything edible before them.
Others were in boxes and occasionally
If really hungry-partaking of a
cheese sandwich or other light repast,
but the food was not necessary and
all were drinking as customary.
There was absolutely no attention
paid to the Saturday night and Sunday
closing law In any of the cafes visited
by The Herald men. The restaurant
men were dispensing drinks with the
usual disregard of the old law which
so long has lain dormant In the arch
ives of Los Angeles municipal govern
ment. They did not seem worried that
it's ghost would arise to bother them.
in spite of the police commissions S
threat to arouse the dead ordinance
from it's grave of desuetude.
The same fragrant violation of the
law last night was manifest, and so
far as The Herald men could ascertain
no arrests had been made and no at
tempts offered to enforce the law, as
the police commission has threatened.
Is the police commission or mayor
going to see to 1t that the law really
is enforced? Or will the cafes and
restaurants continue to serve drinks on
Sundays just as they have been doing?
The effect of the new ruling will be
watched from Sunday to Sunday with
much interest.
