A CLEAN-CUT ISSUE

MANY friends of good government
MI have expressed regret that
AlA Fredericks instead Of Hutton
got the nomination for district at
torney, but others who voted for Mr..
Hutton accept the results with COM
placency, thinking it may prove to have
been for the best as. it is, since had
Mr.. Hutton been nominated the repre-
sentatives Of good government would
have divided without any issue, where
as now the issue will be a straight
contest between a tried and true friend
of good government and one who has
played for the votes of both the old
push and the friends of social order.
1t was Mr.. Woolwine as Fredericks'
deputy who commenced to uncover the
moral rottenness of the Harper adj
ministration, in doing which he was
not only denied the hearty support Of
Fredericks, but was dismissed by him
when it was found that he was likely
to prove that the administration was
rotten at the core.
But Mr. Woolwine. before being dis
missed, had lifted the curtain behind
which Harper and his associates, as
grafters, were gathering unholy gain,
so high that Fredericks was COM
PEELED by public sentiment to go on
with the investigation and make a
show of prosecuting the dishnoored
officials who had betrayed the sacred
trust reposed in them,
With these two men before the voters
of the county the issue for and against
good government and social order is

TUESDAYS PRIMARIES
IRRECoNCILABLE

That Hiram Johnson is a Republi-
can, this paper refuses to admit; that
any of his principles are those of the
Republican party, it is superfluous to
deny. That the Republicans of Cali
fornia will regret the circumstances
that placed him in the false position
of being candidate for the highest of
fee in the state on this ticket is GER
tain. His candidac.- is sure to work
against the best interests of the state.
Johnson has pledged himself to no con-
structive work; he has declared that
he will do considerable destructive
work. Fortunately for the people of
the state, he will be limited in keeping
the latter promise, If he ever intended
to keep it.-San Francisco Post Greg

SUGGESTS PLANTING OF TREES
ALONG RESIDENCE STREETS

Editor Herald: While Los Angeles
is undoubtedly city of beautiful
homes, much more could be done to
add to it's attractiveness. Many of our
best residence streets have but few
trees, comparatively. The lack of
uniformity as well as the deserted APP
pearance of some blocks does not
speak we'll for their owners.
[ believe thu city should have de-
partment, call it by whatever name
they will, that would plant and care
for the trees aligning all residence
streets. The additional tax levied
would be mere bagatelle compared to
the improvement gained. The Acacia
Melanoxlian" or Black Waffle seems
to be the general favorite and it GER
tainly is a very beautiful tree both in
color and shape.
It is excelled by the "Grevilla Ro-
busta" or Silk Oak in foliage, though
the latter when casting its leaves
makes much litter, many disliking it
on that account only Our residence
districts would be beautiful indeed
were they planted as outlined above.

Editor Herald: Not a graduate OF

brothers, husbands and sons of Califor-
MIA women made voters of Ho An

Wong Gan and Wang Sin.
French women before the revolution

HAT PIN VICTIM ENTERS
PLEA AGAINST 'sTILETTos'

Editor Herald: A police magistrate
of New York, E. D. McMann, has pro-
nounced his disapproval of the long hat
pins that decorate the ladies' hats, so
] am informed. I believe the cruel in
diligence by ladies is thoughtlessness
on their part. When a gentleman gets
his face scratched or torn by the dan
gerous adornments he probably hesi-
yet he wishes she could know those
pins are such nuisance that their
beauty fades in oblivion. Other de-
vices of ornamental nature can be
worn that appear more pleasing to the
eyes than the slender stilletos that
play such havoc in crowds. / have
been a victim of the modern plague
myself and have heard pitful stories
from my friends who have suffered.

SAYS SMOKING ON STREET
CARS SHOULD BE STOPPED

Editor Herald: Permit me to say
that smoking on the cars is all wrong
and should not be permitted. Yes
terday on the Grand avenue car at 5
o'clock p. m. there were just seventy
two passengers, mostly women and
children, and on the front seat sat two
smokers, one with a cigarette, the
other with an old strong pipe. The
seventy had to endure the foul smoke
to crafty the two selfish smokers. The
changing at this time from rear to
front was all wrong. Your Letter Box

letters and say nothing want to kick,

WHAT WE'RE SAVED FROM

For forty years the Southern Pacific
company has been the dominant power
in politics. 1t has always made up
one of the party tickets, often two,
at times resorting to bribery to accom-
plish it's purpose 1t has controlled
courts, railroad commissioners, legis-
latures. supervisors, even school trus-
tees. No branch of government has
been free from its influence Always
it has used its power to further it's
schemes to exploit the public, and to-
day as one of the results of Southern
Pacific government California pays
the highest freigh trates of any state
in the Union.-San Francisco Bulletin.

With care each parcels slowed,
Crack goes the whip. the heavy cart

Fond swans fair maidens row,
Till sounds the welcome call to lunch,

Fine napery, rich silver's sheen,
Smart epigram, keen pun,

Safe sheed from the sun.

Sly yawns at Nature; swift return
To welcome town and night!

To the North Carolina Division

The appeal comes to us from
the United Confederate Veterans
to aid them in erecting a Monu-

federacy-a call that should be
answered by the hearty co-opera-
ton of not only every chapter
but of every individual daughter
in the Old North State.
In aiding in the erection OF
this monument. we are not erect
ing monument to ourselves,
for it is a mere handful of the
women of the sixties now en-
listed under the banner OF the
u. D. c. 1t is to the memory OF
our beloved mothers and grand
mothers that this monument is
to stand. Great, noble and true
as is the life story Of the Con-
federate soldier, it is still with a
greater brilliancy that the life OF
the women of the Confederacy
will ever shine forth upon his
tory's page.
Daughters of North Carolina,
let us, one and all rise in our
might in answer to this call OF
the Veterans. Let Us second
them in their every endeavor.
Let us adopt the very good plans
which they are suggesting tor
raising money for this cause, and
hasten to do their bidding.
Let each one remember the
mother that bore, with patient
smiles and accomplishing lips,
the torture of endless waitings,
the denials of all the luxuries t.
which she was accustomed, aye
even food and raipment, to a,c
and uphold the men at the from.
