OBJECTS TO SMOKING LAW
PASSED BY CITY COUNCIL

LOS ANGELES, Oct 20.-[Editor
Herald: At last the men and council
have gone half way in meeting the de-
mands of the women to eschew smok-
ing on the cars, with a "big stick
proviso that the women keep off the
grass" otherwise the rear platform.
Now this is just another one of the
wise things we men do, never look
around the corner to see If there's any,
thing we'd better dodge, especially
that the women are fighting for; we
yield them an inch and put ourselves
down, chow gracious we have been"
Time, to a. m. and to Z p. m. cars
crowded, men on front platform also,
thick as bees around honey pot; not
a foothold for the women, hungry and
tired as the genus homo to get home
to supper, where he'll enjoy another
smoke whether the wife likes 1t or
not. Well have the roads heightened
the front platform for the accommoda-
ton of women and conspieuously
placarded a sign, Gentlemen, please
occupy rear platform when smoking;
front platform reserved for ladies
only" oh, mol What's the use for
these two safeguards and warnings;
We'll soon knock out that little game.
Just a sop thrown the women to
smooth their ruffied feathers Then,

LETTER BOX WRITER GETS
IN A FEW GENERAL KICKS

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25.-[Editor
Herald: Within the columns of The
Herald's Letter Box 1 notice that the
old adage of MANY men of many
minds" is fair example of that old
adage, as it is seldom that there are
two writer's who "kick' at the same
error or apparent wrong. A good strong
kicker is often admired, particularly
in football, but If mule resents famil-
iarity and kicks there are no adjectives
adequate to the occasion. You will un-
doubtedly observe that there are rea-
sonable as we'll as unreasonable kickers.
Now, my friends. 1 shall pose as rea-
sonable kicker, and shall endeavor to
substantiate my claim. My first kick
will be against our present laws which
are made by the male portion of man
kind. Our laws prohibit a native-born
citizen of the proper age who pays taxes
to vote for the men who makes the
laws, just because she Is a female
woman" There I kick, because that
law is contrary to her constitutional
rights and unjust. 1 have seen ig-
norant foreigners who could not read
their ticket, and men so drunk that
their hand had to be guided to drop
their ballot in the box, and yet the
mothers of our country are denied that
privilege, simply because they were
mothers or prospective mothers. 1t is
disgrace to manhood.
Is there a man so degraded, that for q mo-
ment should doubt,
That justice to motherhood, should not soon
be brought about?
have also tremendous kick against
trial by jury. Let me call your atten-
ton to the thousands of dollars spent
in obtaining jury in the criminal
trials in San Francisco and elsewhere,
as where one man objects to the de-
cision of the eleven all that money is
souandered, only to be squandered
again, often with the same result 1
would substitute such trials to three
judges, with but one appeal to three
other Judges. It would save millions of
dollars to the taxpayers, and justice
would be better satisfied. There has
been much written in The Herald upon
prison reform, and 1 am free to assert
that there can be no permanent reform
as long as the prisons are run by
political partisans. 1t is simply polit-
ical graft by the party in power.
There are scores Of subjects which
ought to be subjected to kicks, but this
will be my closing kick.
The ladies have notions which I don't like to
see,
And II it's not popular why It's nothing to
me.
Just think of our lasses with cheeks as red
roses,
with hat on like a washtub, all covered
with poses,
Were 1 a female woman, I'd sooner be bled
Than wear a foot of false hair the back
of my head.
The kickers tribute,

CANDIDATES

TT is proper to refer to the list OF
names 30 be submitted at the pri-
Il mary nominating election as "a
wealth of candidates" Good men are
available for every public office, and
the wisdom of citizens will see to II
that only good men are selected.
The candidature of George Alexander
for mayor appeals to the best interests
of Los Angeles and to the best people
of Los Angeles, who constitute an
overwhelming majority of the popu-
lation. Mr.. Alexander is by far the
most representative, most experienced
and most competent of all the candi-
dates, and should be supported on his
merits.
The best interests of Los Angeles
would be served by the nomination OF
Harry ]. Lelande for city clerk, Leslie
r. Hewitt for city attorney, C. H.
Hance for city treasurer, John S.
Myers for city auditor. Clarence M.
Taggart for city tax and license col
Iector, Walter Mallard for city asses
sor, Melville Dozier, Herman Frank,
james W. GuiiH' INO5Si % "SS' ~
seph Scott, Francis w. Steddom and
Fielding ]. Stilson for the board of
education.
There is a wide range of choice in
the council, and the citizen who wishes
to have Los Angeles enjoy good gov
eminent could with clear conscience
support Josias ]. Andrews, Martin f.
Betkousd, Miles S. Gregory, Robert
M. Lusk, T. L. OBrien, Richmond
Plant, Benjamin C. Robinson, William
]. Washburn, George Williams, JOHN
d. WORKS, c. w. Conway, George w.
Lyons, John T. Pope, Charles T. Ran
dali, Frederick Freeman Wheeler.
With so much good material Los An
geles should be equipped with an ex-
cellent council.

MR.. MUSHET

n NE of the suffragists who publicly
Intercepted Mr.. Mushet as to
~ his sentiments on the subject OF
votes for women declared Mr.. Mushet
was a traitor to the cause, inasmuch
as she had met him at a party once
and he said women could vote If he
could have his way. Another suf-
fragist said Mushet remarked he would
have to ask his wife before commit
ting himself on the subject Of votes
for women.
SO Mr.. Mushet is accused of having
favored votes for women and of hav-
ing favored policy of asking his wife
before committing himself, and finally
of being in favor of having nothing
to do with the question of votes for
women until the ladies settle it
among themselves
Mr. Mushet's position with regard
to the extension of the suffrage to
women is characteristic. He is not
sure there is an overwhelming vote
making sentiment in favor OF woman
suffrage. He is not sure there is an
overwhelming vote making sentiment
against it. If he were assured of the
trend of vote making public sentiment
his mind would be made up for him,
even without the help Of his wife.
In the meantime we suggest the fol-
lowing questions should be propounded
to Candidate Mushet, who certainly
will be able to answer them in one way
or another:
ID How old was Anne?
90 Why is a mouse when 1t spins?

Does the Old Lady Swallow the Bitter Pill
WORK

" DIRK is honorable. It is not
wv only the law of the world, but
W the law of the solar system; not
only the law of the solar system, but
the law of the universe. Death is the
end of activity, the cessation of work
A human being is made up of a col
lection of Woodworking activities, al
more or less under the control Of his
mind. In fact, it may be said the sub
consciousness is associated closely with
the persistent diligence of the heart
and other organs of the constant opera
ton of which the healthy mind IL
! hardly aware.
| The world is always at work. It's
activity is ceaseless. Stupendous In
formed by our spinning old "oblate
/ spheroid." The claws Of nature are
working laws.
Since Jesus says very plainly God
works, we must believe the ceaseless
activity of the world and of the uni
of the Creator.
Jesus also works constantly. His
work is for the moral reform and ele-
walton of the world, and for the sub
stitution of a Golden Rule system OF
brotherliness for competitive gouging
and money grabbing, 1t is the work
of the Christian church to discourage
everything Christ discouraged, to re-
huke everything Christ rebuked, to en-
courage everything Christ encouraged,
and to praise everything Christ praised
Strange to relate, a very great part
of the work of the church is being
done by CONSCIENTIOUS NEWSPA-
PERS. And certainly newspapers
working in harmony with the church
and in conjunction with it, can accom-
plish ANYTHING and produce results
little short of miraculous.
We hope to see more and more har-
mony and a closer and closer relation
ship between the work of conscien-
tious newspapers and the work Of the
churches.

"cHEER UP" is REPLY OF
C. F. TO SENEX LETTER

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 24.-tEditor
Herald: In today's issue Senex rends
the air with a despairing cry, deplor-
ing the lack of truth and the conse-
quent progress of falsehood. Cheer up,
old man, though the world grows old
and corrupt in patches, yet 1t is al
ways rejuvenated by Divine light and
love in such as are able and willing to
receive it, and this will go on long
after Senex has closed his mortal eyes
for the last time, for God hath never
left himself without a witness"
Any one condemning the Bible is in
darkness himself. No one is born an
atheist, but he makes himself so by
making his own self-desired intelli-
gence superior to Gods, for the light
that is in him favors his own 'ism"
and thus makes him blind to Divine
intelligence and its laws. Let Senex
write down his own "ism" in ten
propositions, call that his decalogue
and let him keep on with Iteration"

number of sheep he can muster.

BELIEVES TOBACCO CREATES
CRAVING FOR STRONG DRINK

Los ANGELES. Oct. 26.-[Editor
Herald: I noticed a very able article
a few days ago by w. s. Burroughs on
the evil effects of tobacco.
Would you permit me to say that the
damaging effect will never be known
this side of eternity. That 1t is largely
responsible for the taste of strong drink
goes without question, for not one
drunkard in a thousand but uses to-
bacco. The filthy stuff creates a crav-
ing for strong stimulants that cannot
be questioned The boy who becomes
victim to tobacco is an easy sub
ject for the worse habit or nquof
drinking. If it is worse, 1 would just
as soon see a boy drink as to be con-

amount to nothing anyway.

FORAKER MAY
FIGHT AGAIN
Believed He Will Enter the
Ohio Senatorial Race
Against Dick

Washington, Sept. 9.-Former SEN
ator Joseph B. Foraker is expected
here tomorrow on his way home from
Maine. 1t is reported here that ii
conditions shape up favorably he will
enter the contest for senator next
year to succeed Charles Dick.
1t is known that Mr.. Foraker has a
burning desire to come back to official
life, just to even up few scores, II
for no other purpose, and it is be-
lieved he will take advantage of the
first opportunity to do this.
Dick stuck to Foraker through
thick and thin and thus the Cincinnati
man owes it to Dick to support him
for reelection. That he Will do this
and do 1t loyalty, Senator Dicks
friends believe but If 1t appears that
Dick has no chance to come back and
matters shape up SO that there is to be
an open fight, the chances seem to
favor Foraker getting into the battle
One thing is quite certain, and that
is that Mr.. Foraker will go back to
Cincinnati ready to fight Charles p
Taft If that gentleman attempts to
come to the senate. Foraker's friends
declare he is still factor to be reck-
oned with in Ohio politics.
