SlDe and mail car from the train. then
ran them down the track a consider
able distance and then, after the reg
istered mail had been opened, sent the
engine back 20 collide with the stand
ing cars
The conductor saw the wild cars
coming down the track at 4 rate of
twenty-five miles an hour when they
we're considerable distance away. and
Ge and one Of the traInmen placed a
lie on the track in an endeavor to

SPLENDID WORK

WE congratulate the recall cam
w paign committee on the efficient
w work it is performing in keeping
the predominant issue before the peo-
pie, and in preventing the principle at
stake from being lost sight of, or cut
tlefished by the squids of the pro-vice
papers. In one of it's ringing, patriotic
messages to the people of Los Angeles,
the recall committee says:
"A final desperate attempt will be
made by the machine at the polls on
March 26 to discredit the recall.
1.-THE recall petition was completed
and filed; intimidation failed; George
Alexander was nominated as the re-
call candidate; the courts have sus-
tanned the right of the people to hold
the election on March rs, and the re-
sponsibility for the decisive establish
ment of the principle of the recall and
Of good government in Los Angeles
now rests on each and every voter,
and can only be fulfilled by giving
George Alexander an overwhelming
vote.
"a vote for Alexander is vote for
the recall and everlasting rebuke to the
men who would take 1t from the peo-
ple."
For their patriotic services to the
people of Los Angeles the members of
the recall campaign committee have
earned the thanks of their fellow citi-
zens, and for the mastery manner IN
which their campaign has been con-
Quoted they are entitled to hearty con-
graduation. The recall campaign has
been conducted without single blum

ellis of the recall campaign committee,

CLAIMS WoMAN's VOTE HAS
DONE GOOD WORK IN DENVER

LOS ANGELES, March 25.-[Editor
Herald: The different arguments
against woman suffrage are somewhat
confusing. r. K. g. is opposed to wom-
an suffrage because 1t would put the
lid on and interfere with vice, thereby
taking mems liberties away from them,
while Observer Is opposed to It because
IL would cause more vice. After read
ing what Observer has to say about II,
/ should think T. X. G. would want to
go right to Denver to live, or else be-
come an advocate OF woman suffrage
In other places
If some of the respectable women
stay away from the polls In. Denver 1t Is
because they are afraid OF such over
bearing men as Observer shows himself
TO be by such terms of ridicule as me
politician" etc. 1t will take little
time for some women to cease to be
afraid of the bulldozing men who own
them. and go to the polls in spite of
the threats of the disapproval of such

THE USE

A DMIRERS of the exploit Of Lieu
IN tenant Shackleton of the British
IA navy, who made his way so far
south that at his last reckoning before
he turned back he found himself within
a hundred miles of the South Pole,
are asking "but what was the use Of
it?" The discovery of the North Pole
and the South Pole perhaps will not
be of much practical use. That is to
say, we do not think there will be
heavy emigration to the new polar
countries. 1t is not probable that any
land office business will be done in the
polar regions. But scientifically the
achievement of reaching either pole
would be of benefit to mankind.
Only scientists realize how much
mankind has yet to learn regarding
the world. Various perplexing problems
those which have to do with seismic
disturbances for example-will never be
solved satisfactorily until mankind has
an accurate knowledge of every part
of the globe. In all our present cos
mic reasonings, a great deal has to

quent In every calculation. The chief
use of the Shackleton expedition has
been to show the South Pole can be
reached and probably will be reached
within the lifetime of most of our
readers.
When the Pole is definitely and pre-
cisely charted and mapped, another ele-
ment of guess work will be elimi-
mated from cosmic calculations. In
deed, the discovery of either Pole will
be the most valuable scientific event
in the history of mankind since the
discovery it is possible to sail around
the world, and that a mariner may
continue a voyage indefinitely without
fear of sailing over the edge.
