The sensation of the year on Gold stream is the prodigalty with which gold continues to pour out of No. 17 into the sluice boxes of the Union Mining company. Following the $18,522 cleanup mentioned in last weeks paper came one on Wednos- day last of S10,S0O, for day run. That brought the 1908 product from 17 up to $102,000, and tomorrow's cleanup will send the figures over the $2o0,o00 mark--and they'll not stop at that

ZONE OUT OF NINE" Is
POPULAR SLOGAN OF DAY

After the nomination of Judge Albert
Lee Stephens for the superior judgship
a clever young lawyer suggested to him
that a slogan expressing the one-party
condition of the courts be used on all
his literature, suggesting zone out of
nine is fair"
1t is safe to say that this phrase is
now familiar to nine-tenths of the Los
Angeles county voters.
1t has awakened them to the realiza-
ton that their courts are as partizan in
their elections as their legislatures.
Judge Stephens recently said to a
Herald representative:
II don't ask to be elected superior
do not think that because 1 belong to
that great party l should be barred
from the bench.
1.-Two years ago the people of Los
Angeles county approved non-partizan-
ship in the judiciary by electing me to
the minor bench. After a severe trial
there the documents approved my eff
forts by presenting me to the voting
public for promotion.
There they stopped, although there
were four vacancies on the superior
bench, conceding three to the opposite
party when it already had five hold
overs.
81 have nothing to say against my
opponents, but l believe a strictly par
titan bench win be. emphatically dis
approved on November 3.
zone out of nine is certainly not I'M
fair, and it relieves our superior bench
from craftsmanship.

ished through the hardships and pri-
vations of the war.
Candidate Taft said in that speech
at Ithaca that we had expended in our
operations there $19s00O,000 Senator
Hoar, in his speech in the senate, said
these doings of our army and lazy had
cost, up to 1902, $500, 900. 900. which had
better been thrown into the sea.
Speaking of our military operations
in the Philippines. Lieutenant General
S. M. B. Young, at that time our
highest officer, who served two years
in the Philippines, declared and wrote
down at a banquet in Philadelphia
three years ago, in apologizing for
what our armies did in those islands:
"War is necessarily cruel; it is kill and
burn. and burn and kill, and again kill
and burnt"
Wrung from the Nation
To this policy of bloody subjugation
Candidate Taft lent. his aid. What was
his motive? We know not; but we
know that he received for nearly three
years a salary of $4,000 as governor
there This was double the highest sal
airy paid any governor in the United
States. 1t was not paid by US, but
was wrung from the natives, VINO could
not earn on an average 80 cents day.
But did we not Introduce American
civilization? We introduced. to teach
English. a thousand teachers, to whom
we compelled the natives to pay sala-
ries double those they could have mad
in America.
Not a half dozen liquor saloons ex-
listed there before, but, in one year
after our arrival, there were 400. The
records show that in the year before
there was imported into Manila less
saft int n
but in the year beginning with out
arrival, 1892, 900 worth. Not a known
house of ill-fame was there before
we came but in the first eight months
thereafter 800 prostitutes were impor-
ted, whom our army surgeons kindly
inspected, doctored and certified week
ly at so apiece.
Governor Taft and the military au-
thorities stifled freedom of speech and
of the press, would not even permit
the public reading of our Declaration
of independence; refused the right of
trial by jury, the right to vote, the
right to the writ of habeas corpus,
the right to keep and bear arms, the
right to be a member of the Masonic
order or any other secret society, the
right to be free from taxation without
representation, the right to appeal to
our constitution.
Thus they set their races as nlHt
not only against both the fundamental
principles of the American republic
but also against the central doctrines
of the founder of Christianity. as enun-
ciated in the Sermon on the Mount,
that great document which Daniel
Webster declared could not be of hui
man origin. and which an eminent Los
Angeles divine has fifty characterized
as 1.-THE constitution of the Kingdom
of God"
Knowing these facts, can I consci-
entiously vote to keep such a party
longer in power, or to place such a
man in the presidential chair?

ANTI-PRIDHAM POEM HAS
STIRRED SOUTH PASADENA
Levels Sarcasm at Schwamm's oppo-
nent for Hiring Detectives to Trap
Woman and for Furthering
Unpopular improvements

Friends of Anthony Schwamm, SUI
pervisorial candidate. have for two
DAYS placarded South Pasadena with
a poem that strikes at two sore sub
iects with the anti-Pridham party in
that city.
They grow out Of Mr.. Pridham's con-
nection with the citys affairs as a
member of the board of trustees.
One refers to the hiring of detectives
in running down blind pigs, and the
subsequent arrest of Mrs. Farr, lessee
of Hotel Capitola. 1t was claimed by
Mrs. Farr that she had applied to the
trustees for a dining room license and
had then laid in a stock of goods pend
ing decision. She gave some brandy
to a detective who posed as sick man,
giving 1t as an act of charity, refusing
any money therefor. For this she was
arrested.
The reference to Westmoreland is to
the opening of a street through piece
of property held by syndicate of rich
men. Opponents of the improvement
measure said it was not needed, sad
died assessments on nearby property
owners, and the principal gamers were
the members of this syndicate.
The poem is as follows:
Vote for man that is a man.
Warm hearted, honest. true:
who isn't a special privilege man,
But gives to all their due;
who doesn't with one hand shield the rich
And smite with the other the poor,
Nor doesn't fight a woman at night
That contemplate spoilers lure
Vote for man who will treat you right
In a just and manly way;
Who doesn't with frosted pretence pose,
Like an idol made of clay.
Vote for a who wasn't mixed up
In Westmoreland's shifting storm,
But think for awhile on all these things,
And vote for Anthony Schwamm.
L. A. WYMAN, South Pasadena.

DEMOCRATS URGED TO
HELP AT THE POLLS
REPUBLICANS PUT UNDULY ON
ELECTION BOARDS
Past History Shows Absolute Neces-
sity of Vigilant Watchers Being
Employed to ForestaIl At
tempts at Fraud

The Democratic campaign commit
tee is urging on all volunteers for cleo
ton day service in this county the need
of watching the count. Democratic
workers are warned to watch especially
the count on votes for Rush and Nc
Lachlan in the congressional race.
1T is perfectly evident to the COM
mittee that the Republican machine,
headed by Walter Parker and DOM A.
ated by the Southern Pacific, is maxi
ing tremendous efforts to seat its can
didate for congress in this district and
will not stop at any result to secure it,
said w. i. Moore yesterday.
1.-THE solid three on the board Of
supervisors have failed absolutely to
pay any attention to the De; ocratic
committee in making appointments on
the election board. l have checked up
every precinct in the city and in many
instances where the Democrats should
have found representatives on a board
they have none. Men registered as Re-
publicans have been placed there by
the supervisors, so that not one Demo-
crat is on the election board. This con-
dition is so fragrant that it is very
evident that the machine will steal
votes for McLachlan if possible.
ut will not be the first time. In
1896, when McLachlan was defeated, /
had the pleasure of taking Republi-
can clerk Dy the ear ana leddlHB nlul
out of the polling place for stealing
two votes for the Republican candidate
in less than fifteen minutes time. That
occurred in what was then precinct
four of Los Angeles.
Democrats must be on their guard
against the tricks the Republican ma
chine will resort to. In lesser degree
this is necessary in behalf of the en-
tire ticket, and as many workers as
possible will be needed to prevent
fraud at this election. The committee
earnestly requests every man who can
take the time and who desires to par
ticipate in this election to come to the
campaign committees headquarters. ia
Coulter building, or to telephone A3722,
and register as a volunteer.
We have a splendid organization in
all parts of the city, and the beauty of
it is that every member is a volunteer
who has the principles of the party at
heart. Not one is bought. But we have
a territory in the 1879 city precincts
that covers more ground than is em-
braced in London, and we can use to
good advantage every loyal man who
will lend a hand"
