POSTMASTERS ALL EAGER
TO VISIT LOS ANGELES

''Ios Angeles will be greatly benefited
by the selection of this city as the
meeting place of the California presi-
Dental postmasters in May, 1909" said
Postmaster Motley H. Flint yesterday.
''It will bring good many from north
of San Francisco who have never been
here and have no conception of the
growth of their state. Their visit will
have an excellent effect in the matter
of unifying state pride and lessening
sectional feeling.
1.-THE meeting, although only the sec
ond of the kind, will be largely attend
ed. The postmasters wanted to come
to Los Angeles and see how we are
growing. We had strong opposition for
the convention, but you may realize
the interest felt respecting this city
from the fact that every postmaster
but two voted for coming here next
year."
At the first annual meeting at San
Francisco last Thursday Arthur Fisk
postmaster of San Francisco. was
elected president, and Frank e. Ellis,
postmaster of Stockton, secretary.

cows BRUTALLY BLINDED,
MISCREANT USING KNIFE
Nine Animals at Dairy Farm on San
Fernando Road Made Victims
of Fiendish Act of
Cruelty

One of the most cruel atrocities OF
which the degenerate mind can conceive
has been brought TO the attention OF
the Humane officers, who have been
working for the past three weeks to
apprehend the criminals. Nine cows az
the dairy of Charles Giegerich, on the
San Fernando road, have been
maliciously blinded, some in one eye
and others in both. The cows evidently
have been stabbed in the eye with a
sharp penknife.
H. ]. Stillwell of the Humane society,
who was put on the case, has watched
the herd at night for several weeks
but has been unable to detect the cul-
prits. Four of the cows are now totally
blind and cannot be let out TO Craze.

REDUCE TARIFF,
GRADY'S ADVICE
SENATOR FROM EAST POINTS
WAY TO DEMOCRATS
Visitors Tell Democratic Club Ban-

antee Clause VIII Stop
Future PanIcs

Senator Grady of New York and At
torney William A. Bowles of Chicago
spread a few ringing truths among the
members of the Democratic club OF Los
Angeles yesterday when addressing
them at banquet at the club rooms.
The senator in his talk argued that
the protective tariff more than any
thing else had brought about present.
day conditions of unrest because II
narrowed the millions of capital OF the
country to the few.
eve realize now that we must inn
prove the conditions for all rather than
extend facilities to the few.
eve must reduce the tariff to the
point where it will produce merely the
bare running expenses of the country,
and the prohibitive imposts must be
taken off altogether on most commod-
tiles.
"The good old Democratic doctrine Is
getting a fairer hearing today, tWlst
and turn it as you please
"There is about it all the living truth
that can be ascribed to any declaration
Living and throbbing today because 1t
asserts that no government has tne
right to collect one penny of a man s
wealth except in so far as the money IS
needed for the economical requirements
of that government.
Because we hold to the life lines OF
doctrine proved to be wisest and best
we are told by our opponents that we
are Bourbons who never learn to for
get. 1t will be a sad day when the
people, through the forces of unrest,
remember what these monopolists want
us to forget.
1.-THE governments rights are as well
defined as those of any individual,
When the individuals rights are
trampled on, when monopolists run riot
with their greed, the day of reckoning
merely draws nearer faster.
Down to Principles
until we get down to the basic prin-
ciples and remove the tariff which en-
ables billionaires to reap the harvests
of the work of the masses there can be
no relief.
Such relief a vote for Bryan will
bring about, a vote of all the men
who know what is best for the country
"In country with eighty millions of
population, our income is SO great that
the tariff for protection is unneces-
sary Any tax levied for such purpose
is Illegal and illegitimate, and we are
reaping the fruits of our folly now.
"These conditions can and should be
corrected in November at the ballot
box"
Mayor Harper presided at the meet
ing. but being called away turned over
the honor to Milton X Young.
Besides the guests of honor the speak
ers were Judge d. X. Trask, Commit
teeman Hayes of Arizona, Isidore Dock
weller, Thomas E. Gibbon and Ona w.
Morton.
