Makes go Per Cent. Of Cures.

DR.. Iecnhardts Hem Roid has been
tested in several thousand cases. and

Hem-Roid's wonderful record is due
TO the fact that il is an internal
remedy. The cause Of piles Is internal,
and |; is too much to expect TO cure
piles with ointments. suppositories or
operations. Hem Ro!d cures the in

NEW CONDITIONS

WI ITH manifest reluctance a high
w tariff Republican newspaper ad-
mits the day is approaching
when the United States will have to
begin to import food products. 1t was
this necessity which made a free trade,
or, at any rate, very much modified,
tariff nation of the United Kingdom
and it is a necessity to which every
country may come where population,
carrying with it a tremendous volume
of manufacturing industrialism, in
.creases at a rate greater than the pro-
ductiyity of the native soil.
The admission of the change in
American conditions is the greatest ar
gument for tariff reform that could
possibly be advanced. To admit the
logic of circumstances, and then to re-
sst that logic, is favorite performance
by reactionaries. In their franker mo-
ments, when they don't feel compelled
to dance to the Grand Old Machine
tom-tom, they admit as willingly as
the rest of us the necessity for tariff
reform. But they hate to call it by
that name and they approach the sub
ject as the Scotsman in the story said
he joked, "Wr deeficulty."
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-17
CANDIDATES

| ~ ENSIBLE people in this commu-
- nifty are practically unanimous in
~ thinking and saying there is only
one logical candidate for mayor. He
is George Alexander, who on record,
principles and character is far better
fitted to represent Los Angeles in it's
most important official position than
the man he will defeat.
George Alexander has been called
"the best mayor Los Angeles ever
had" He is certainly by far the best
in modern times, and in all probability
the best in the history Of our city.
At an important period, when de-
velopment and expansion will necessi-
tate great and statesmanlilke vigilance
and activity on the part of all Off
eials, and when expenditures in con-
nection with that record breaking
project, the Owens river aqueduct. re-
quire, in addition to the strictest in
tegrity, keen business instinct, busi-
ness training, business experience and
business sagacity in order that the
interests of the taxpayers of this city
may be protected and all manner
of dishonesty and irregularity pre-
vented, it is not good policy Ito say
nothing of politics. for this city to
exchange a statesman and business
man of well-known honesty, expert
ence and integrity for an official who
may not be free from possibility of
being interfered with or approached
by dangerous and designing interests.
At the primaries the voters chose
George Alexander TO be the peoples
candidate and popular candidate for
mayor. We do not think his election
was ever in doubt for a moment but
recent and transpiring developments
are giving rise TO interested specula-
tion as to how large his majority Will
be. Many citizens, disgusted with the
squabble between Mushet and Smith.
are announcing their intention of sup
porting Mayor Alexander in prefer
ence to either of the other "candi-
dates,' although with more sane and
seemly sequel of the primaries than
u Bowery bicker they might not have
perceived the error of supporting any
candidate excepting Mayor Alexander.
The best interests of Los Angeles de-
mand a careful choice of a city au-
ditor His Office is one of the great
est and most momentous Importance;
and a fitting occupant OF the office,
one who will fulfill every requirement,
will be John s. Myers. who is entitled
to the advocacy and support of all
citizens who believe in square dealing
and good government.
Candidates for city council who de-
serve the support of their fellow cit
liens who believe in good government |
are John D. Works, Martin f. Bet
kouski, w. ]. Washburn, Robert NJ |
Lusk. Josias ]. Andrews, Miles S. |
Gregory, George Williams, Richmond |
Plant and T. L. O'Brien. Their cleo |
ton will contribute to the prosperity, |
good government and progress of Los
Angeles.

AVIATION WEEK

A Walton WEEK plans have made
" remarkable progress since first
the subject was aired I'm the
columns OF Los Angeles Herald An
nouncement is made the Merchants and
Manufacturers association will hold a
special meeting tomorrow evening for
the purpose of taking up the project.
Huntington interests have offered to
subscribe $4,000 If citizens will sub
scribe an equal amount.
The money will be used as a guaran-
tee for prizes, but if the receipts of the
week should prove sufficient to pay
prizes and expenses the amounts sub
soribed will not be collected. Not a
cent of money will be received that will
not be applied directly to the legiti-
mate purposes of the week.
The date chosen will be in January
or February, as it is intended to
give the world a memorable object
lesson in Los Angeles climate. At a
season of the year that is the dead Of
winter in eastern states and countries,
a great outdoor meeting will be held
in the principal city of Southern Cali
fornia, and vast crowds will share in
the open-air enjoyment and excitement
at time when the eastern air is filled
with snowflakes or thick with sleet
when the ground is frozen, when the
stormy winds do blow and the goblin
called Pneumonia will get you, if you
don't watch out"

THANKSGIVING

mHURSDAY, November 25, is the
date proclaimed officially for
"a Thanksgiving day. In his request
te the people of this nation TO lay
aside their usual vocatons on the
chosen date and repair to their
churches to unite in appropriate SER
vices of prayer and thanksgiving to
Almighty God President Taft calls to
mind that during the past year this ma
tion has been highly blessed.
No great calamities or floods or epi-
denies of sickness have befallen us,
We have lived in quietness, undisturb-
ed by wars or rumors of wars. Peace
and the plenty of bounteous crops and
of great industrial production animate
a cheerful and resolute people to all
the renewed energies of beneficent
industry and material and moral
progress.
1t is altogether fitting, says the
president, that we should humbly and
gratefully acknowledge the divine
source of these blessings.
Thanksgiving day is in many re-
spects the greatest, the most slgnia-
cant, the most momentous and the
most inspiring OF our national holi-
days. on that day we count our bless,
ings and remember that come veal,
come woe, come sunshine or cloud,
Gods in His heaven, airs right with
the world.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-17
PROSPERITY

A T the Thanksgiving banquet of the
N Merchants and Manufacturers
IA association many reasons will
be given why the business men of this
city should be thankful Conditions in
Los Angeles are excellent. Business
men representing every department re-
port there is a splendid outlook, and
that the year that is drawing to a
close is one which supplies many
causes for rejoicing and thanksgiving
Los Angeles is we'll on its way to
being the undisputed mercantile and
maritime metropolis of the west. The
metropolitanization of the city is be-
ing accompanied by a feeling of soli-
darity, by a realization of the COM
munity of interests of every part of
Greater Los Angeles. The history of
the city will be continued along
broader lines, and let us be thankful
that after passing through various
governmental trials and tribulations,
Los Angeles emerged If .er" than ever
before for a career of achievement,

LOS ANGELES BANKING

A CCORDING to reliable facts and
~ figures collated by w, N. Ham
IA aker, manager of the credit de-
partment of the First National bank
of this city, Los Angeles is destined
to become the banking center of the
west There are now thirty-six banks
in the city, nine national banks, nine
commercial banks, operating under
state charters, eight savings banks,
five trust companies, and five banks
which cannot be especially classified.
The combined figures on July l, of this
year, were approximately: Capital, sur
plus and undivided profits, $40, ,S23, 900;
cash on hand, $8,OOO,0OO; loans and dis
counts, $91 100000; total deposits, $685.
1000; total resources, $3.50, 900.
The reports of the clearing house
give a true barometer of the financial
conditions and dealings of the COM
munity, and supply a startling indi-
cation of the wonderful prosperity of
this city.
In 1889 the clearances were $S6,S73,-
242 46. In 1899 they had been in
creased to $S6,341, 61668. In 1909. the
estimate total is the prodigious sum of
500, 900, 900. In assessed valuation, Los
Angeles is the foremost community in
the west. The assessed valuation is
$5S5, 4O1 164.00. The assessed valua n
of San Francisco is $589, ,O91, OS9.OO. Both
Los Angeles and San Francisco are
far ahead of the leading cities of
Washington. Oregon and Utah. AS
sessed valuation of Seattle is $685.
191, ,5120O: that of Portland, Ore, $780,
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-17

100000. and that of Salt Lake, $685.
755, 5000.
The figures testify to the suprem-
acy of Los Angeles, and form one of
the irrefutable arguments for t. ne
cessity of a continue tion of good gov
ernment by the election of Mayor
George Alexander.
This election will give capital that
reasonable assurance of the continued
progress of Los Angeles to which it
is entitled, and unshaken confder g
in good government and in the hon
esty as we'll as the ability and enter
prise of the city will carry it on to
achievements in Improvement and de-
velopment far greater than even the
greatest of the glorious past.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING

MI ERCHANTS of this city unite in
W an earnest request to the public
-'A to do Christmas shopping early,
and give the attendants in the stores
an opportunity of enjoying what to
most people is the festive season. 1t is
not especially festive to the poor, tired
shop girl or clerk whom belated and
procrastinating shoppers persist in
running up to the last available min
ute of the night before Christmas.
Cases of illness resulting from the
Christmas rush are frequent, and cases
of utter collapse and death, caused by
complete exhaustion, have been re-
ported equently. CHI stmas shoppers
always get into what is euphemistic-
ally described as a "state of mind"
when they put off until late in the sea-
son the buying they might as we'll have
accomplished weeks or months earlier.
This state of mind leads up to a
cumulative frenzy, in which the finer
feelings are sometimes forgotten, and
thoughtless men and women and boys
and girls vie with each other in har-
assing almost to death their fellow
human beings in the stores.
This can be avoided If the public will
set about the task of shopping NOW;
and 'he storekeepers will greatly assist
in the reform if they will set their hol-
iday prices now, and stick to them, let
ting it be understood there will be no
bargain rushes or scrimmages at the
last M lute. Let us have a sane shop
ping season. and it will be greatly
conducive to a truly merry Christmas
and a really happy New Year

WANTS TO KNOW WHAT

GLENDALE, Nov. 13-[Editor Her.
add: If the Letter Box theologians
who write so positively about God and
his attributes would state to which
God they refer it would assist a young
stude t to read up on his history.
Savonarola refers to "the welghtier
matters of God" and does not explain
whether he means the God who led
the Israelites in their attacks on other
tribes or to the New Thought idea of
a God "who is all good"
There are so many gods that simply
to refer to God without designating
whether the Old Testament ideal of an
autocrat or of an up-to-date ideal is
meant is most confusing.
r. N. says "God. who is unvarying
good" and 1t is plain enough that he
refers to the Christian Science ideal,

Savonarola says, "You seek to saddle

Paul says I'VE are all fallen In

for the sin of Adam Jesus had TO come

only what present environment ana

must overcome it, but keep 1t.
Jesus and the prophets do not agree
with them there. They spoke ot
better environment, like we do. Read
Micah. chapter 4, and see how he

HE REsENTs REFERRING TO
suFFRAGETTEs AS RANTERs

LOS AN ELES, Nov. 13.-[Editor
Herald; Brother Observable in his let
ter to The Herald is certainly wronging
the fair sex when he says woman sur
fragists are losing their womaniiness
hv entering politics, and destroying the
peace of their homes; and calls them
ranting suffragists and their actions
unwomanly conduct.
Does he not wish his mother, sis
ters and wife, if he has them, to have
rights which In justice is theirs, or
does he prefer which I surmise he
does from his letter, to make woman
a mere chattel, compelling her to obey
laws, oppressive though they may be-,
which she has had no voice in framing,
either as principal or constituent.
Must she stand taxation without rep
resentation? and be ridiculed when she
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-17

asks for a true democratical govern
ment. She asks only for equal rights
to all and special privileges to none.
A woman is no ranter who asks for the
right to have voice in election of Of
fieers who enact laws to protect her
home. 1t is unjust to force her to sit
with folded hands, watching the de-
struction of her sons and husband by
the licensed vices; and when she asks
for right of franchise to use her power
to abolish such temptations, you say
she shows unwomanly conduct and Is
a ranter.
Many claim with oily tongues that
she has representation by her hus-
band, but this is false; many men, land
l am ashamed OF the fact, being a
mani promise their wives to vote one
way and when they arrive at the polls
do the opposite.

of the mud and leave the Tory party,
become a true American and watch the

Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-17

The worst evils that affect our local
government arise from and are the inevi-
table result of the mixing up of the city
affairs with the party politics of the ma
tion and the state. The lines upon which
national parties divide have necessary
connections with the business of the city
such connections open the way to countless
schemes of plunder and civil corruption.

Says a Republican paper: "It seems
that the people of India think of
