CLAIMS THAT WOMEN NEED
BALLOT FOR THEIR SAFETY

Los ANGELES, Nov. 26-[Editor
In previous letter he was comforted
Herald: Observable is with us again.
with the thought that in spite of suff-
ragettes and women who dress fash
ionably there are some sensible women
left. l found myself in a similar frame
of rejoicing because, in spite of the
Observable type, there are some sensi-
sible men left. a London man, who,
being ON the scene of conflict, is in an
advantageous position for observation,
writes: THE women have been driven
TO violence. 1t is mohstrous to sup
pose that women like to interrupt meet
ings or throw bricks at Mr. Asquith,
still less to starve themselves. Mr..
Gladstone using a stomach pump as a
political instrument! The plain man is
line cricket. 1t Is making our sex a
laughing stock"
Had Observable thought of this latter
phase, and Is that what is worrying
him? People who think G am not ex-
pecting the impossible of Observado)
know that the day is past when a
woman can do her duty by the home
by centering her interest within it. She
must have a voice in the outside af-
fairs which have the power to make or
mar it, Does not Observable know that
great numbers of women have no homes
and if they had they would not be the
nests of safety his flight of fancy pic
lures them? The home is not safe
while organizations of capital have the
power to control legislation, deny the
home providers work, work them to
death or kill them for want of safety
devices.
What of the safety of the homes OF
those widows in Cherry, Illinois? With
wtdened scope for mental activity,
women will be less slavish to the fash
ions which men originate as part of
the scheme of profit making.
AS Observable is so greatly scandal
lied at thought of political independ-
ence for women, l suppose he cannot
feel much worse if / mention economic
When women get that
they will not have to dress to attract a
man for a supporter. My only criticism
Of the suffragettes is that they are
for the franchise for women
already protected by wealth and re-
fusing it to the poor woman who needs
It most. Think you that if a Judge
elected by working women had been in
Judge Tuthills place he would have
decided against the ten-hour law for
women in Illinois? Or are the
women who have no homes to have no
safety? GEORGIA KOTSCH.

NOW FOR THE COUNTY

DY the result of Tuesdays election
that great business known as the
Los Angeles city government was
taken out of the hands of the inefficient
and dishonest representatives Of the
machine and was placed in the hands
Of honest, capable, efficient citizens
whose sole and only ambition It will be
TO discharge efficiently and acceptably
their duties to the public who elected
them.
There yet remains, however. in this
community another great business be
longing to the public which is sadly
in need of the same reformation that
recently has taken place in the city's
affairs. We refer to the government Of
. the great county of Los Angeles.
There is no doubt in the mind of any
one who has made study of our pres
ent county government that when II
comes to misappropriation and waste,
to use no harsher terms, Of public
funds, it is infinitely worse than ever
the city government was.
The county government is differed
by many men who, as a matter Of Gus
AOAll3 uoC lAlN SAboL u4llcllE pOSlllbllS III
their offices at the dictation of the ma
chine, as rewards for the machines sup
porters. A man who betrays his constit-
uents as a member of the city council
by voting away, without consideration
public property to a private corpora
tion, and whose record makes it i'm
possible to Te-elect him to his place
in the city council, at the orders Of the
machine is taken care of by being
placed as deputy in the office of
county official This sort of reward for
services rendered private corporations.
and especially the Southern Pacific
company, has, beyond all question, re-
suited in the selection of many men
who at the present time are serving the
county as deputies in the Offices of
county officials. Not until mon who
use their offices in this way are dis
placed by officials who will be under
no obligation to the machine or any
power that it represents will the coun- |
ty government reach that condition of
honesty and efficiency which a citizen |
has the right to demand, and should |
demand, in all the branches Of his gov |
ernment. To take the county gov
ernment out Of the hands Of men who, |
as a solid three upon the board of
supervisors, have wasted. and worse
than wasted, the public funds; men
who permit deputyships in their Of
fees to be used to reward other men
for betraying the public in official po-
sitions; men, in short, who have any
other interest at heart or recognize
any authority other than that Of the
public, is the next great work which
the supporters of Good Government
must perform in this community. and
that that work viii be performed. and
performed, at the next cleo
tion, we have no doubt.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-09
THE LESSON OF THE
ELECTION

n NE, and probably the most impor.
tant lesson to be learned from the
results of the late election by
every man who is at all ambitious fol
public office and distinction in the city
of Los Angeles, is that the citizens pro.
pose hereafter to hold their representa-
tives in public office to the same ac-
couutability for honest, efficient service
that an employer in a we'll conducted
business holds his employees.
The result of Tuesdays election in
completely defeating every representa-
tive of the machine who appealed for
the suffrages Of the people, and in elect
| ing men who were placed in nomina-
tion by citizens whose only and
sole interest is in securing the best
possible service from public servants,
shows that the time has ended in Los
Angeles when men can be placed in
office by selfish influences to serve, not
the people who elect them, but the in
huences to which they actually owe
their nomination and election.
The history of politics in this country
never showed a more complete political
wreck than was made of the Southern
Pacific machine by the votes Of the
good citizens of this city on last
Tuesday.
Men who had in the past been put
in office by the influence of that ma
chine, and who, forgetting their obli-
cations to the public, used their official
positions to serve the machine, were de-
feated to a man.
Men who, as members Of the city
council, had so far forgotten their
duties to the public whom they were
pledged to serve, as to vote for giving
away to corporations the public prop
erty in the river bed; the lot owned
by the public in front of the Arcade
station; to spend the money of the pub
lie for the purchase of worthless voting
machines, and who by their acts had
stood in the way of needed amend
ments to the city charter, were every
one defeated This shows that the
people of Los Angeles have long
memories and that they only need to
have brought home to them a clear
public servants to hold these servants |
strictly responsible for their treachery. |
Hereafter If a man in official posi- |
ion In the city Of Los Angeles desires
% continue in office he must under
stand that the only way 20 do it is to
arm the good opinion of the citizens
ind voters of this city by the same
.areful honest and efficient attention
o the business Of his office as he would
live to the private business of an en-
,loyer.
No other public service will hereafter
'e accepted by the people of this city.
nd the sooner this lesson is thoroughly
earned the better it will be for all men
Who desire employment in the city's
fairs.

WELLMAN is SCORED FOR
BUTTING INTO POLE GAME

SANTA MONICA. Nov. 19.-[Editor
Herald1 Having read Walter Well
mans attack upon DIR. Cook as ap-
pears in today's issue of your impair
| tial paper, I am constrained to sub
NIT a few queries relative to the repu-
| tation of Mr.. Wellman as an Arctic
explorer. Who is he? Upon what
achievement as an explorer is his repu-
tation based? Has he ever been to
the north pole? or is it not a fact, as
disclosed by the press of the past few
years, that his reputation is based en-
tirely upon newspaper advertising re-
lating to the various schemes that he
CWellman) has vainly tried to impose
on trusting public? How we apples
swim.
While it is true that he CWellnan)
has developed various schemes by
which to reach the pole, it always has
been at the expense of others and
there always has been an excuse for
the many failures of his schemes to
succeed. Any coyote can bark at a
sick or a dead lion. Does Mr.. Well
man think for one moment that the
reading public are all fools and igno-
ramuses? I wonder how much Of the
Peary- -Bridgeman cash has found it's
way into his pockets for his article?
Those of your readers who have
taken an interest in the Cook-Peary
controversy have not failed to notice
the difference in the character of the
two men. The egotistical Peary has. |
from the start, branded Cook as an
imposter and liar. Cook, on the other
hand. has spoken of Peary as a true
gentleman would speak Of another |
Peary has done all in his power to in
jure Cook has even stolen his sun
plies and placed his man Murphy in |
Cooks supply housee to the exclusion
Of Mr.. Whitney, Cooks agent and
friend, and the public may rely on it
as fact that it has been Peary money
that prompted Mr.. Bridgeman to hound |

BUSINESS GOVERNMENT

DY the success Of the Good Gov
II ernment ticket, Los Angeles is
placed in the proud position of
having the model municipal govern
ment OF the United States. Good citi-
zens are IN the business" of govern
ing their city. The question Of the
management of civic affairs has been
reduced to a strictly business basis.
which Is its only legitimate basis. The
triumphant emancipation of Los An
geles from machine rule and gang
corporation interference is the best ad-
vertIsement Los Angeles has ever had.
And yet the advertising feature of
it did not enter for a moment into the
consideration of the gentlemen respon-
sible for the awakening of the people
and the substitution of popular,
American government for the machine
usurpation. Their only concern was
to establish a square dealing, business
system Of government.
The success Of free representative
government in Greater Los Angeles
Will be commented upon in every part
of this continent, and the effects of
the example set by the citizens of Los
Angeles will be far-reaching.
For Los Angeles itself there are in
store benefits beyond even the success
full accomplishment of q magnificent
municipal programme Of improvements
which will result in preparations for
a city of a million-or more. No city
in the United States will be as at
tractive to the capitalist, the investor,
the industrialist, the business man, the
home seeker. Los Angeles will be the
metropolis of the west, and it's un-
challeuEeable supremacy will be es-

TEACHERS CLUB

I OS ANGELES city Teachers club
is an especially noteworthy addi-
AZ tion to metropolitan organiza-
tions for mutual benefit or for the COM
mon good. This club is formed in or
der to advance the interests Of the
schools, 10 raise the standard of the
profession, TO cultivate a spirit Of SYM
pathy and good will among the teach
ers, and to form a representative body
able to speak with authority for teach
ers."
The establishment of the Teachers
club shows there exists among the
members Of the most useful profession
of teaching a spirit which some think
ers along rather advanced lines call
"class consciousness" 1t is a very good
spirit certain to elevate the standards
and equally certain to produce among
the public a keener appreciation of the
teachers.
1t is utterly hopeless to expect con-
cord or cooperation from the members
of the other great teaching class, the
ministers OF the religious sects. The
time may come when they may become
somewhat THOUGHTFUL with regard
to the subject of sectarianism, and may
realize with a becoming sense of shame
that they are continually houting or
ignoring one of the most remarkable
of the prayers of Jesus: Holy Father,
Keep through thine own name those
whom thou hast given me, THAT
THEY MAY BE ONE, as we are"
But the members of the teaching fra
ternity have managed to find common
