There has been purchased by the
city council, and its receipt is shortly
expected, 500 feet of . 1-2 inch fire
hose of the best manufacture, which.
when put in commission, will give
Protection No. l an equipment of 100
feet of hose, fully commensurate with

the dealers has prevented its prompt

to the department within few days,
after which it will be far better equip

before.

AS TO ENDORSEMENT.

The Tribune has managed to get en-
dorsements of the bond issue, by a
number of business men.
But that does not amount to much
Some endorsers, we dare say, expect
TO be benefited directly or indirectly
by the money they hope the people VIII
! borrow.
! Others, we have been given to un-
| derstand. indorse because they are
afraid of the Tribune. They will rather
| put their name to an endorsement than
| to be assailod in text and picture by a
sheet that is known to pursue victim
with savage ferocity. Such endorse
ments are not worth anything. They
do not even Indicate how the endorsers
are going to vote.
Do not let the Tribune deceive you
with easily procured endorsements.
Vote NO and save your homes from
bond caters.
Among the alleged endorsers is, the
Tribune claims, Colonel Holmes. But
that gentleman, If he is correctly quot
ed, which is very doubtful, does not
seem to understand the question at is
sue. He talks about our fine mountain
views, pure air and water and so on,
and then tells a story of the growth of
Los Angeles from $4,000 in 1890 to 3Oo,-
0O0 in 1908.
The latter figure is, Of course, ficti-
tious. Los Angeles, in 1900 had a
population of 102,479, and this is ma
terially Increased by this time, but IT is
not trebled. So much for the reliability
of the figures.
But aside from that, the gentleman
does not seem to grasp the point in
controversy here. No one disputes the
beauty OF our mountains. the purity of
our water and air or the natural ad-
vantages in general: no one disputes
the necessity of improvements" nor
the expediency, at times, of borrowing
money. There is no question as to any
of these points: nor is the growth of
Los Angeles in dispute. The only ques-
ton is whether the majority of the
present city administration is worthy
of the confidence Of the citizens. Can
the taxpayers trust lIlSIu WIN tAoli
money!
The members of that majority have
proved themselves to be the willing tools
of power not elected by the people
power against which even the Mayor
is helpless. Under the influence of
that power the cost Of a conduit that
was contracted for 1882 600 was In
creased 10 over $4,000, The sum of
S2O0, 600 was borrowed for Utah Lake
improvements but sl9l,oOO was spent
for something else. Can such financiers
be trusted?
That power attained influence by
| flooding the State and the country with
the blacklist falsehoods ever invented.
1t attained power by dividing neigh
bors against neighbors and making this
beautiful region the scene of strife
worse than bigotry aud savagery evei
fostered during the dark ages, Can
that power be trusted with money?
Col. Holmes does not discuss the real
question at issue.

SLOT MACHINES DOOMED.
Fresno Republican.

Chief of Police Biggy. of San Fran
cisco. IS after the slot machines. ner-
chandise" one and all, and in the course
of his Investigations has revealed the
not surprising fact that most OF the
machines are crooked. Even a
straight" gambling machine is of
course. bad enough. The best of them
have large percentage against the
PLAYER, which means that II does not
nav TO play them, and all of them are
frankly gambling implements, not to
be tolerated in a reputable community.
But a crooked machine is even worse.
II violates not merely the highest con-
science against gambling, but also the
lower conscience against common steal
ing. And It is not surprising to ma
that these machines, made to fleece,
are also fixed" to cheat the public.
They have been advertised to the trade
for years as adjustable to guarantee
any percentage desired. And they have
been sold or leased for the most part
to men who wanted them TO cheat Gus
toners with The whole business is
one OF the most nefarious and insidious
of this whole age of machine-made
graft II Chief Biggy can clean them
out of san Francisco, he Will have
rendered the city great public serV-
ice. And If he wants any pointers IN
how TO make the fight successtuI,

from the West side, for money to spend
on the East side But why should
the people on the West side nibble OH
that bait?
They promise to spend sl25,O0O Tor
sewers, but on that point the council
men tell us that the intercepting sewer
is completed and paid for that tho
north bench sewer Is also completed
and paid for, and that there remains
to be constructed only the pumping
plant and pipe line to connect the in
terceptinR sewer with the gravity
sewer. and "--a are contracted for
and provided for and therefore there
IS absolutely no present use whatever
for these bonds for sewer purposes.
The only possible conclusion is that
the bond money is designed for other
purposes than apparent at present. The
West side will. us near as can be fig
ured out at present, get no substantial
benefit whatever from the bonds.
What the present administration
thinks OF the West side is more than
evident in the proposition to remove
the Red light district to the West side,
against the protests of the people there.
Can the people of the west side af
ford to give a vote of confidence to an
administration that proposes to ac-
quiesce In a plan to pollute that part
of the city and make 1t headquarters
FOR every form of vice and crime? a
vote for bonds is h vote of confidence
In that administration.
Vote NO, and save your homes. Vote
NO and defend the City against the
assault upon It's credit and resources.

WOMAN TOUGHER THAN MAN


Although men as they run are per-
haps muscularly stronger than women
their inability TO Withstand the ele-
ments and their reliance upon clothes
places them considerably below the So
called weaker sex in the matter OF I'M
clothed toughness. Women wear
clothes for ornament; men use them as
a protective covering A group OF men
maluoned clothesless on an island IN
the temperate zone might be expected
to die off in a month from draughts
and colds and rheumatism. The health
of women similarly placed would suffer
little from the enforced exposure. me
fact appears to be, therefore, that in
everything but muscle--.in vitality, rug
gedness, Character. disposition. brain
power. atc.-woman is the tougher, not
the weaker, sex.

VOTE mo"

Mcssrs. Llppman and Christensen
the other day. told the public that the
yearly income of the City is s9o5'Ooo
and the yearly expenditure. $751;
S45.9S. If this is true, the city Is
running behind to the tune OF over
$500. 900 a year, and IS, consequently
sp no position to borrow 100000 any
more than any insolvent concern
would be. with deficit of over
$500, 600 In the current expense ac-
count. there is absolutely nothing with
which TO nav interest on the proposed
new loan. But then. under a reck-
less financial management there Is al
ways a probability that another loan
may he considered, when the interest
is due.
