AMERICAN WINS

nY the great desert run from Los
X Angeles to Phoenix, won by an
~ American car, the Buick, in 10
hours 80 minutes. another has been
added to the records OF endurance,
speed and reliability that are belrg
made by that most important addition
to the usefulness of our modern civili-
zatlon, the automobile.
With good roads an automobile SER
vice is equal to any railway service,
whether for carrying the malls or for
covering the ground, and even on bad
or Indifferent roads the strong, sub
stantial, speedy. wonderful machines
offered by the up-to-date market make
a splendid showing. The automobile is
fast coming into general use. Its popu-
larity is being increased every day.
It is no longer regarded as an ex-
pensive toy, or a rich mans luxury.
It is within reach Of moderate purses,
and there is every indication 1t will be
the vehicle of the future, whether for
purposes of business or of pleasure.
Auto trucking and good roads will
solve the rates" problem, and the
shipping public no longer will be at the
mercy of the lords of the steel rail and
the railroad car. The railroads will
have healthy competition, not only by
waterways. but by the good roads over
which automobiles will travel quickly
and safely, as did the automobiles that
took part in the run from Los Angeles
to Phoenix.

Polite Politics

To assist the aristocraey at WASH
Ington in more firmly establishing the
canons of precedence and succession at
all official functions, so that We may
more nearly resemble the monarchies
of europe, the following suggestions
are offered:
A bank book shall be sufficient
invitation to all functions.
Whenever the president is in attend
ance the large grafters shall sit on the
right and the small grafters shall sit
on the left.
A congressman or senator who rep
resents railroad shall have prece-
dence over one who merely represents
a factory, etc. One who represents his
constituents shall not be allowed at
public functions.
The divorced wife of corporation
lawyer shall not call upon the wife Of
a representative of the interests" ex-
cept flor purposes of blackmail, or
other matters of business.-Puck.

COMPLACENCY

A CCORDTNG to the morning Great
n Grandmother of the political
IN campaign, she faces the situation
with much serenity and complacency.
Such was the serenity of the ante
diluvians before they were "diluved."
Such was the complacency of the
Tory king before George Washington
showed him there may be more than
one kind Of George"
Such was the serenity of the Four
Hundred of Pompeii when they were
issuing invitations for the Last Orgy
Such was the complacency of King
Charles when he heard General Crom-
we'll was in rebellion. He even made
a pun. He dropped a morsel of bread
in a wine glass, and, drinking, said,
Lord, wash this crumb well down."
The pun is as rank as ever, and so is
the cause King Charles represented.
Toryism is ever the same, no matter

CANDIDATES

Civic patriotism and civic pride will
guide and determine the citizen
~ in his choice of candidates at the
primary nominating election. The Sc
lection of the right men for candi-
dature is a duty which has been re-
ferred to the source of all power, the
people. The responsibility for office
holders has been assumed directly
by the citizens. 1t is most unlikely
the intelligent voter will aid in the
choice of candidates agreeable to the
machine and it's bosses.
In the line of duty to the public The
Herald calls attention to candidates for
nominatlon who may be chosen by citi-
zens with confidence in the prudence
and wisdom of the choice. The men
named are not machine men. They are
identified with the spirit and the prac-
tice of good government. They have
at heart the best interests of Los An
geles.
George Alexander's candidature for
mayor will be successful, and public
approval will ask another term Of SER
vice from 1.-The best mayor Los Angeles
ever had" He represents progress,
prosperity, orderliness, decency NOR
ality, and is a citizen Of whom this
community is proud. Nothing is more
ludicrous II the absolute discomf-
ture of the reactionary machine Jour
nalists" who have searched high and
low, rummaged and ransacked, in the
vain endeavor to find a plausible ex-
cuse for attack upon the mayor. The
efforts of the machine wallowers to
find mud that would stick have failed
vious to every reasonable being that the
animus of the machine organs at
tempted attacks on the mayor is the
same animus which enrages the baffled
and nonplussed person who undertakes
an impossible task. Grouchiness can
not fool any one. Spiteful snarls won't
prevent the people flom nominating
and electing Mayor Alexander.
Harry j. Lelande is tried and true"
and citizens who choose him for can
didate for city clerk will be using their
votes for the welfare of Los Angeles.

For city treasurer C. H. Hance is
a candidate whose nomination and
election would benefit Los Angeles
ness interests of this city. John S.
Myers as city auditor, Clarence NJ.
TaSgart as city tax and licence col

They are men of great experience,

The educational interests of the city

Some Of our readers may not agree
with The Herald's choice of candidates,
and especially for candidates for the
city council. If they do not SO agree,
that is all right. But we appeal to
them to cast their votes for some one
or more Of the honest, good citizens
who are candidates, such as Judge

FORDIAG OF THE RIVER
COST HAT AND SHOES

Yesterday afternoon when O1icer
Molhman encountered a Mr.. McCarty
in the depot yards without hat OF
shoes and dripping wet, he thought he
had found crazy man. Mr.. McCar-
ty was taken TO the county jail with
the intention of placing him in the
padded cell. An explanation On the
part of the gentleman in custody OBJ
Waited the necessity Of so doing.
While on his way to San Francisco,
MI McCarty had to stop off In Ogden
for short time awaiting train connec-
tions. He wanted to see something of
Ogden, so he sauntered westward from
the Union depot, having in mind the
idea that the sand ridge west of the
city furnished a good observation
point. His pathway to the elevated
ground, however, was obstructed by
the Weber river, but undaunted in his
desire TO reach the heights he under
took to ford the river. Wlyile doing
so he encountered rather deep water
and. I'm the effort TO cross the stream,
he lost his hat and one of his shoes.
Finding himsGf minus one shoe he dis
carded the other one and started to
make his way back to the station.
While In this predicament he met
the officer who Immediately placed
him under arrest and escorted him to
jail, Mr.. McCarty had money on his
person and, after taking a bath and
purchasing a new hat and new pair
of shoes. continued his journey west
ward. He had ticket for San Fran
cisco
He was considerably amused over
his experience but IL Is very likely that
when he visits Ogden again he will
not undertake TO reach the sand ridge
heights without seeking bridge

sically impossible for him TO answer
one-tenth of them. and that while he

would like to answer them, II would
be impossible to do SO.
He added that he would have MOTH
ing to say on any subject, nor would
he attend any functions before de-
parting on his hunting trip. Except
for few trips to New York City. Mr.
Roosevelt said he would spend the
time at oyster Bay.
Wearing Knickerbocker suit, he
