Will Make Good.

So universal has been the delight
with which the South has hailed the
Taft promises concerning officehold-
ers, that the President-elect feels
bound to do everything he can to
make those promises good. He sees
that he must uproot the old order
before he can make real the new
regime. He also realizes that unless
he does this Republicanism in the
South will be ten or twenty years
hence what it is today-of no infiu-
ence and of little standing.
When the news of the Taft plan
goes abroad, there will be mighty
protest from the referees and their
following. They have had things
their own way for SO long that they
can hardly realize the mine is sci
under them. They have come to be-
lieve that the Federal pork" and
the Government money were easy
things to handle and that the onI,
ones to do the handling were them
selves.
In little while they will be rude
| ly awakened. The system under
which the South has labored ant
against which her people have criet
out, is about to go.

ANGEL CITY's NEW CHIEF.
Appointment of Newspaper Man Solves
 Vexatious Problem

The new chief of police of Los An geles is Edward F. Dishman, recently under sheriff of the county and for merly a newspaper man. Ten years as police reporter gave Dishman an insight into the workings of police force and the ways of criminals that fits him peculiarly for the place to which he has been appointed. Be- sides being eminently competent, he is 'whitep clear through and square as brick. There will be no graft in the chiefs office while Dishman holds the job.
 Prior to his appointment as chief deputy to Sheriff Hammel, Dishman was assistant city editor of the Los Angeles Times and the best news tors for the police appointment was the fat witted eX-chief, John M Glass, who was such an incredible chump that even q Los Angeles commission of politicians couldn't save him from being fired. Under Glass the Poker Davis gang of bunco thieves enjoyed absolute immunity from the law and pool rooms flourished in open viola tion of the statutes and ordinances There will be none of that in Dish mans day.

tion already taken by the Denver Motor
club, Mr.. Smith stating that at least fifty
delegates from Colorado have already con-
scented to attend. He has interviewed the
Board of Public Works I'm Denver and rep
resentatives will be present from that
body. All of these men. adds Mr.. smith
