have kept them there and should not
have been allowed to unload them on
the public.
The recallers, as our friend dubs the
citizens of Los Angeles, chose Mr..
Alexander for a candidate without re-
gret or without possibility of regret.
They knew from his official record as
we'll as from his life as a private citt-
zen that he was the man for the emer-
gency. Like that distinguished and
useful member Of the cabinet, the sec
rotary of agriculture, every citizen
who knows Mr.. Alexander is aware
Los Angeles has been exceptionally
fortunate in the choice of a candidate
for the vacant office of mayor. For
such a position, at such period of
history, when unquestionable honesty
and unassailable integrity must char
acterize mayor who would hold the
confidence, respect and esteem of his
fellow citizens, George Alexander is
the right man. 1t was a providential
choice, and the prospect of Mr.. Alex
ander's election is matter of rejoicing
to every citizen who has at heart the
best interests of Los Angeles.

NO PEACE

TN view of the Dreadnaught fever,
talk of International disarmament
"A is reduced to an absurdity. What Is
the use of crying peace, peace. when
there is no peace? Kaiser Wilhelm,
more than any other human being,
is responsible for the military and
naval programs which are now plung-
ing many of the nations of the world
into periods OF prolonged domestic
misery. The announcement OF the Ger
man naval program has had the i'm
m diate effect of making the British
colonies put themselves on q seff-de-
Tending basis.
Australia, distrustful of the far off
British may, will build her own war
fleet. Other colonies will follow suit.
Within a few years, unless some plan
of the federation of ali the English
speaking countries is adopted, there
will be half dozen practically inde-
pendent powers which use the language
of the United Kingdom and the United
States. The world is about to see a
realization of the prophecy of the
statesman who said: 1.-THE future of
the British Empire will be, federation
or disintegration." Which Is the better
policy for the human race? The ques-
ton was answered in the United States
in the strenuous sos.
In union there is strength. While all
the English speaking countries are
talking of setting In for thems selves
continental Europe is talking of
federation. But perhaps 1t will
take such strong and irresistible
lesson as will be supplied by the United
States of Europe to teach the most
progressive peoples in the world that
the effectiveness of the example Of the
United States of America should not be
interfered with by a Canadian border
line.

MAYORS REQUEST

NITIZENS Of Los Angeles are under
I deep Indebtedness and obligation
~ to Mayor William d. Stephens
That indebtedness and obligation could
and should be expressed in a more
definite and useful manner than in the
votes of thanks and the compliments
which will undoubtedly be rendered to
Mayor Stephens wien he welcomes
Mayor Alexander to ONCE. BY respect
ing his repeatedly and emphatically ex-
pressed wishes and desire with refer
ence to the mayoralty election, citizens
will show they appreciate the great
public service rendered by Mayor
Stephens to this city. In a letter To
the chairman OF the recall campaign
committee of the Municipal league
Mayor Stephens said: What I have
already said should be sufficient to de-
ter anyone from voting for me at
the coming recall election. How
ever, that there can be no doubt in
any mans mind as to my position,
beg again to say:
II had the honor to be the first citi-
zen to whom the recall nomination was
offered. 1 was chairman of the COM
mittee primarily responsible for the
candidacy of George Alexander 1 be-
lieve in the recall principle. I believe
every man having the best interests
of Los Angeles at heart should vote
for George Alexander at the recall
election. Friday, March 26, 1902
Therefore I earnestly request that
no one write or place my name upon
any ticket to be Used in voting at said
recall election. Under conditions
named above, 1 should not and would
not accept an election"
Surely the would-be mischief makers
will now have the decency to respect
the wish of Mayor Stephens, which is,
that George Alexander should be the
man he will welcome into the mayors
Office when he resigns the chair he has
occupied so we'll and SO worthily, to his
great credit and to the honor of Los
Angeles, at a time when the sore need
of a city betrayed by shameless
political tricksters, gangsters and
weaklings required the faithful and dis
interested services of just such a man
as our gallant, good and patriotic fell
low citizen, Mayor William d. Ste
phens.

MAKES PROTEST AGAINST
CHAIN PRAYER NUISANCE

Los ANGELES, March 22.-[Editor
Heraldl: / desire to call The Heralds
attention to a letter. which 1 enclose
herewith, which exhibits phase of evil
akin to diabolism. In this anonymous
letter, which was addressed to my wife,
we have a specimen of the endless
chain prayer which is being circulated
through the mails, originally as post
ais; but as the government interdicted
that method, thus stamping its disap-
prevail on the whole business, 1t is now
being sent out enclosed. It. seems to
the writer the press ought to expose
its righteousness.
How well intentioned people can al
low themselves to be used to dissemin-
ate matter that in spirit, conception
and construction is so unchristian, with
its suggestion of evil consequences to
those not complying with its request, Is
hard to understand. Many innocent
persons are being made parties to this
diabolical plan. It's Observation-Disclosures,
or. to put it plainly, its venomousness
Is appalling. That such ideas can ex-
list in this day of enlightenment passes
belief.
j am reminded of the account in the
book of Job wherein the devil evil
mindedness), replying to the question,
whence cometh thou?" says: From
going to and fro, up and down the
earth'': and we are told In / Peter
to be vigilant, because our adversary,
this same evil-mindedness, "as roar
ing lion walketh about, seeking whom
he may devour"
The application of the passages to
this case seems to be justified, and
believe the editor will concur with the
sentiments expressed herein, aclxnowl-
edge the possibilities for mischief OF
the idea criticised, and print this as q
warning to the unwary. X. N.

GOOD-BY

nv HERE is always something melan-
choly in the word good-by. Some
n neople are saddest when they sing.
Others are saddest when they say fare
well, But we doubt whether many salt
or bitter tears will be shed over the
dissolution of the Thirty-eighth session
of the California legislature, and this
despite the fact that considerable
meritorious and momentous work was
accomplished. The legislature has
worked under the constant surveillance
and scrutiny of the public. The people
as we'll as the interests have been rep
resented at the front, and the advan-
tage of having selected representatives
Of the people to watch the elected
representatives of the people has been
demonstrated.
The ideal legislature will be one in
which the direct nominees of the people
are elected directly by the people,
without interference by bosses, boss
let's, interests or the parasites of in
terests.
FREE GOVERNMENT is THAT
WHICH EXPRESSES FREELY THE
WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
Apply this test to all governmental
performances, local and state. 1t is a
good American test. In a republic it
is the only criterion. Eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty, and in the
United States liberty" is comprised in
the confidence begotten of a reason
able assurance that government of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie shall not perish.

EDUCATION oBsrRucTED

THOR the sake of the educational in
II terests of Los Angeles it is of the
Il utmost Importance that there
should be a speedy hearing of the suit
brought to have the school bond cleo
ton declared Illegal. The high school
committee in a report made to the
board of education has declared that
because of this suit children are being
deprived of facilities for education that
were freely voted.
By the injunction proceedings brought
to prevent the sale of school bonds the
welfare of thousands of boys and girls
is being trified with. For long time
it has been we'll known that the educa-
tional facilities of Los Angeles were
being taxed TO their utmost in the en-
deavor to give the rapidly increasing
number of school children in this COM
munity a fair education and a square
deal. The board of education appre-
ciated the necessity for quick action,
and all friends of education were con-
graduating themselves on the prospect
of relief provided for by the school bond
election, when obstructionists, animated
by motives far removed from those of
good citizenship, attacked the law
under which the election was held. We
hope the facilities voted by the public
will not be much longer withheld from
the children who are being robbed from
motives so entirely discreditable to hui
man nature that we do not care to
present an analysis of them.

GREATER LOS ANGELES

VIZ ITH the appointment of the con-
w solidation committee, the cam
paign for Greater Los Angeles
should be undertaken with earnest Wig
or and enthusiasm. Citizens of Los
Angeles who realize what the success
of the union project means to them will
take keen and active interest in the
campaign. Consolidation will give Los
Angeles metropolitan prestige Sec
ond to that of no city in the west. OPP
portunities for maritime development
that will come with San Pedro harbor
are perhaps only hazily understood by
our worthy citizens who have come to
Los Angeles from inland regions, but
these worthy citizens should take the
word of their friends from maritime
districts, who know by abundant expe-
rience that nothing in all the past his
tory of Los Angeles-wonderful as that
history is--will be comparable with the
growth and prosperity of the greater
city when consolidation has been eff
fected.
Consolidation will give a new impe-
tus to the life of all Southern Califor-
MA. The state as well as the city will
benefit by it. No wideawake citizen
can be opposed to it. Behind all oppo-
sition ana rumors of opposition is a
selfish corporate interest, which sees
various forces in operation, all of which
have one marked characteristic in COM
mon, and that is a tendency to place
Los Angeles on thoroughly independ-
ent basis, and to free it forever from
corporation control, interference or
domination.
Consolidation is the fact, but Great
err Los Angeles" the thought, which
citizens should hold. Consolidation is
necessary in order that great, harmo-
NOUS, well organized, clean municipal
system may be in successful operation
long enough in advance of the compile
ton of the Panama canal to find itself
in readiness for all the new RESPONSE
bilities which will come, thick and
fast. when the canal route has given 1T
a trade advantage which will enable it
to compete favorably with any city in
the United States or in the world.

PROHIBITIONS DECLARES HE
WILL VOTE FOR ALEXANDER

LOS ANGELES, March .-[Editor
Herald: The Times, in its announce
ment of the decision of Judge Bord-
will. makes q few statements that 1t
ought to know are false.
First, it says: 1.-THE Prohibitlonists
will vote solidly for their candidate,
Mr. Verge" The Times could not
have read the last California Voice.
Undoubtedly the great majority OF
Prohibitionists consider that Mr..
Verge was not regularly nominated,
and that this is not party question
or issue. They will vote for law en-
forcement and municipal decency by
voting for Mr.. Alexander.
Second. the Times quotes Don G.
McGaryin as stating that this has been
q fight between the recallers and the
Democrats. If the Times was sincere
w onuosed to the recall and sought
to defeat the movement by honest arr
gument and truth telling, one could
feel a measure of respect for 1T; but
pettifogging, malice and falsehood
have been so conspicuous and fragrant
in this contest that 1t is wonder to
me that any lover Of truth can ever
patronize it.
count myself Prohibitionist and
a radical but intend to vote for Mr..
Alexander. Our friends who nominat-
ed Mr.. Verge said in their resolutions
that they hoped Mr.. Alexander would
be elected. That item I voted for and
favored, and I propose to be consistent
and help to secure his election with
my ballot. N. LISCoMB.

WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC is
SHOWN IN ITS HiDEousNEss

Los ANGELES, March 22.-TEditor
Herald:J Harry A. Parkin, assistant
United States district attorney OF Chi
cago writes In a recent number or the
Woman's World that since the investi-
cations IN that city of the awful white
slave traffic that Letters have come by
the scores from public officials and
from public spirited men and women
who at last have been stirred to
realization there Is an actual syS-
tematic and widespread traffic In girls,
as definite. as established. as mercenary
and as fiendish as was the African
slave trade in It's blacklist days
Mr.. Parkin gives, the facts in detail
of several of the victims. One among
them is the story of a little German
girl in Buffalo who married and was
deserted by her husband about the time
her baby was born. Very shortly the
young mother found 1t necessary to
go to work, and she soon meta young
man who seemed to take q kindly In
terest in her. He told her II she would
go on to Chicago he could give her
employment that, would pay her far
better than anything she could find in
Buffalo. AS a result of his importuning
the young woman, with her child and q
girl friend. who was also to he en-
ployed, accompanied the young man to
c. icago.
"The next task" Mr.. Parkin said, "of
this human fiend was to persuade this
child widow that 1t would be necessary
for her to place her baby temporarily
In founding home, In order that 1t
might not interfere with her employ
ment. This accomplished he took the
two young women at once to motor
ious house and sold them into white
slavery. Thenceforth this fellow has
lived in luxury upon the shameful earn
ings of these two victims" This is but
one case; there are thousands. And we
talk about cherishing and protecting
,notherhood. A. II, d.

CITES ACTUAL EXPERIENCES
TO WOMEN AT BALLOT BOX

LONG BEACH, March 24-[Editor
Herald: In your issue of the 23d in
slant "a Young Man (probably writ
ten by an old girD asks Are women

his Cor her) ignorance OF the subject.
Like a lot of people, he is talking and
knows not what he is talking about.
II the women of the city of Los An-
geles had the ballot Mayor Harper
never would have resigned-at least
through fear of reelection. Every
woman in the tenderloin district would
have been working for him and would
have voted for him.
On the other hand, aside from O few
desexed individuals who are bowling
about the ballot, few of the respectable
women of the city would go near the
poles. II any of the would-be "hen-
politicians who are DESTROYS OF bring
ing about the millennium will go TO
Denver, COL, and see how politics
have been purified (?) by the women
of that city they will learn the differ
ence between theory and actual facts.
Denver, the home of Sally" Platt-
Decker, the high priestess of clubdom
and the champion OF woman's suffrage;
Denver, the rotten, the equal OF san
Francisco in political and moral
Why have Denver politics not been
elevated? For the simple reason that
all the women of the tenderloin dis
trict and others who profit by an open
town support the party that bids for
their vote by protecting vice. while
the respectable women stay away from
and do not go near the polls. Can you
blame them?
Women as whole are no more hon-
est than men, and there are a lot OF
them bad, just as there are bad men.
Seven years of actual residence in the
