WOMEN WILL AID REFORM
IF GIVEN THE BALLOT

LOS ANGELES. May 17.-[Editor
Heraldl A few days ago some ques-
tions We're submitted in your columns
on woman's suffrage, which no one
seems to have answered. The first
states woman are more conservative
than men, use the heart moro than the
head, love and affection more than in
tellect and reason as men do, and
asks if their interference in politics
would not tend to stagnation instead
of progress.
Is it true they are more conservative?
Are they not in the lead in reform
which means change, very radical
often? Men cling to party organiza-
tion, and will let an old moss grown
evil decay in the very center of civil
ization, poisoning all around, for fear
its removal might cause the equally
moss covered and decaying political
structure to topple. But women use
their ballots where they have them to
pry away, bit by bit, the vile monster,
That they would not use their intel
lect or reason seems passing strange.
when we consider the hundreds OF
thoroughly trained, intelligent college
women in our land, with the equally
competent business and literary wo-
men.
Some years ago in one of our largest
cities there was large wholesale
hardware house of, let us say, John
Smith & Daughter. A woman In
business like that might have modi-
cum of intellect and wee grain OF

THE COST COUNTED

4 MOTHER new battleship has been

"A biggest and best ship in the
American navy, but a credit to
the naval construction of the United
States. That the skill of American
men should be able to build "a battle
ship as big as a city block with a
speed of 20A knots per hour, is sig
nal testimony to the brains, enterprise
and wealth of the people of the United
States.
The bread line is still waiting for a
daily pittance in New York. In the
bread line are always new faces. Every
night there are new chums. Every
night new citizens are driven by des
peration to the ranks of the army of
poverty and humiliation. Many of the
men in the bread line are able-bodied.
skilled workmen.
But neither physical strength nor
their skill avails them in the pursuit
of life, liberty and happiness in the
United States.
The great new warship is named
the Florida. It's estimated cost is $6,-
100000 That is a good deal of money.
Estimating the average yearly earn
ings of an American citizen at $500 "a
figure which is over rather than under
the average-we believe the correct
figure is about $1,000 it would take the
earnings of a working man during
1900 continuous years of toll to pay
for the Florida; or, if it would be too
tedious to await one mans aeeumula-
ton of such stupendous Himalaya of
wealth, it would take the total earn
ings of 1900 men for one year to
build the ship And the government
could afford to pay living wages to
10 900 of the unemployed for a year
without spending a dollar more than
has been disbursed for the warship
There is a curious flaw in the argu-
ment of all civilized governments.
They will tell you it is important to
devote the national wealth to the
maintenance of armies and navies for
the protection of impoverished citizens,
dying of starvation and worry. Why
wouldn't il be good idea to provide
the greatest amount of happiness for
the greatest number of the people be-
fore spending millions of dollars on
warships?

will find additional reason for conf
dence in and gratitude to the good

acter OF the candidates whom that or
ganization has induced to offer them
selves to fill two vacancies now in the
city council. One of these candidates,
Mr.. F. J. Whiffen, for whose can
didacy the good government influences
are responsible, represents in his sue
cessful business career in Los Angeles,
and in his character as a citizen de-
voted heart and soul to the welfare of
the community in which he lives, the
right kind of material with which mu-
nicipal offices should be filled.
Mr.. Whffen has achieved a suffi-
cient success in business to demon
strate that he is a man to whom the
business affairs of the city may be
safely entrusted with the full conf
dence that they will be cared for in
a most businessike and efficient man.
ner Having succeeded in acquiring
a competency which makes it unneces-
sary for him to devote all of his time
to his private business, he is in posi-
tion. if elected, to give to the fullest
extent the time required for discharg-
ing his duties to the city. He has also
for years past devoted sufficient of
his time ability and money to the
cause of good government in the city
to demonstrate his loyalty to that
cause, and to show his fellow citizens
that they may expect at his hands, if
elected, the same sort of government
for which he has used his personal
influence, his intelligence and his
means as citizen in the past,
With Mr. Whiffen a member of the

zens at the last election of placing
only men of character and ability in
that body will remain unRroken.
