plause several times in the course
of the meeting.
"If you have a servant and that
servant proves false to you, must
you on that account retain him
forever?' asked DIR. Nicholson
whose subject was the recall.
The mayors friends excuse vice
protection by saying that other
cities do the same. That is lust
where Los Angeles is different.
1t has been different and gone
ahead in many ways, and it will
not hesitate in its duty relative to
the recall. If the people can be
trusted to elect a man, surely
they can be trusted to reconsider
what they are entrusted to do.
The women of Los Angeles
expect the voters to make it inn
possible to say that dollars are
more to this city than its public
honor"
George Alexander, in a short
address, called attention to the
kind of men who were behind the
recall movement, showing that
they were among the most repre-
sentative citizens of Los Angeles.
II have had the farfetched
argument used against me that
they are to dictate what shall
do" said Mr.. Alexander. did
you ever near of anybody using
me as straw man. They have
never asked me for single prom
Use, and l wouldn't give them
one if they did. Furthermore,
sugar, oil and slaughterhouse
stocks won't count with me-"
William d. Stephens took oc-
casion to give his opinion as to
the kind of mayor George Alex
ander will make. "I've known
Mr.. Alexander for more than
twenty years. he said. Il know
every minute of his time is an
honest minute. Business is get
ting better, and George Alex
ander's election is going to help,
not hurt, business in Los An
geles.
This election, which will make
Alexander mayor, will better the
reputation Of the city all over the
world. 1t will be known as the
city that when it has sore spot
can cure it. That will bring
thousands of households to this
city that otherwise would not
come here"
The hall was filled, with all
available standing room taken in
side and in the entrance rooms.

Mr.. Alexander, Lamar Harris,
William D. Stephens, Thomas

ers at the clubs meeting at Mil

Guy Eddie, who was elected
chairman of the club, introduced
the speakers. Mr.. Eddie. in his
opening speech, urged the inn
portance of the recall, saying if
it did not prevail politicians
would laugh at it in future and
feel free to plumber the city.
"The essence of this question
is" said Lamar Harris, the first
speaker. "Are the stockholders Of
this great corporation known as
the city of Los Angeles going to
have a general manager who is
honest, loyal and straight or are
they not? 1t is safe to say if the
affairs of any bank in the city
were administered as the city of
Los Angeles has had its business
managed in the last two years
there would be a stockholders
meeting and a new president
chosen, and they would not stop
because it might hurt business,
either"
Reviews Situation
Thomas Lee Woolwine re-
viewed the attitude of the mayor
and Chief of Police Kern toward
vice before and after the grand
jury's investigation, detailing the
condition of affairs in the "red-
light district" He also referred
to the libel suits instituted by the
mayor, asking why Harper had
sued him for $115,00O and had
failed to sue The Herald. He
told of the disgraceful acts of
Sam Schenck as police commits
sioner.
Guy Eddie confirmed what Mr..
Woolwine said regarding the
protection of vice, saying he
knew that Mr.. Woolwine had the
proof. II want also to commend

Runaways Becoming Common.

The man who drives his team into
town and leaves it without tying. is
guilty of criminal negligence and
should be made a legal example
of. This conclusion is reached when
we consider that there was four run
aways during the first three days of
this week, three of which we're due to
teams being left unhitched. During
the present excessive heat, when the
flies and mosquitoes are as bad as
they are, man should not expect his
horses or mules to stand without be-
ing tied. And the daily dash of some
maddened team down our streets this
week, is evidence of the truth of the
assertion. While no serious damage
has yet occurred, it is only matter
of time until some team, maddened by
the tormenting insects, will run down
some child or woman, or dash into q
passing vehicle and do irreparable
damage,
If there is law against this prac.
tice, it should be enforced, if there is
no law against it, it is a matter we'll
worthy the consideration of the city
law makers.

Welsh, La.

Dear Sir: There are thousands Of
people saying: "That's what | call a
good job of paint, it has worn three
years. I'm going to repaint before it
needs it, three years is enough"
Those people are a long way behind
the times. There are two reasons for
painting: those people know only one;
they are thinking only of wear; of keep
ing out water. Three years may be
too long tor the looks of paint; it ism It
half long enough for the wear. If all
you want of paint is to keep out water,
Devoe is good for dozen years in
average places. And that isn't all.
The cost of the job is the first thing
to think of, and if You think of it
right. you needn't bother with wear.
The paint that takes least gallons
makes the least bill both forpaint and
painting; people forget the labor bill;
it's the biggest bill in the job. A gal
lon saved is about S.. Five gallons
saved is s25. The paint that saves !
gallons-that's the paint to wear.
