DALLAS, Tex, Aug. 26.-The voters
OF Dallas have used the recall" and
have shown that IL is a mighty weapon
In the hands of voters
They also answered many OF the ar
guments against the recall. Chief OF
these was the argument that the peo-
pie wouldn't turn out and vote In a
recall election.
In April Dallas elected school
board of seven members. Five were
new men, and two. John c. Mann and
John w. George, were old members.
reelected.
AS usual the old men, knowing the
ropes, ran things. They inaugurated
a policy OF secret sessions. The pub
lie didn't like the idea. but the board
didn't care. Finally, In a secret meet
ing, the board discharged two veteran
teachers. The teachers demanded to
know why they were let go and what
charges had been made against them.
They demanded some sort OF public
hearing. Refused.
A citizens mass meeting was called
and q committee named 10 ask or the
board the reasons for the discharge
of the two teachers, Jos. Morgan and
Chas. ID. Tomkies. The committee was
treated with contempt.
Another mass meeting was called
and blaze OF Indignation swept the
city. A recall" petition was pre-
pared. 1t was leveled only at Mann
and George, rs being the chief often
ders. Two candidates were named to
run against them at the special OF
recall election. These men were j
ID. Carter, a civil engineer, and John
B. McGraw, union printer. The fact
that McGraw was Republican made
no difference In Democratic Dallas
because the people were attending &c
their own business just then, and
didn't mind party labels.
The recall election was managed by
w. r.. Harris, attorney for public ser
vice corporation and representing the
silk stocking element, and r. II. Camp
bell, district organizer OF the Ameri'
can Federation of Labor, representing
the working people. So that class lines
were wiped out just as party lines
were.

the "recallers." They didn't want
the people to get taste OF the power
that the recall gives. There was
heavy pressure from conservatives
and school supply people, and lot
OF talk about this being IAN attack
on representative government" and
the campaign was bitter. All the news
papers-good party organs-fought
the recallers except the Dallas Dis
patch, which, alone. supported the re-
call.
When the votes were counted 1t was
found that 10 per cent more votes
had been cast on the recall election
held In Instrumentation at the regu-
lar April school election.
Each of the recall candidates had
won by a Is per cent plurality, and
the star-chamber gentlemen were
ousted from Office.
The board of education now trans
acts business with open doors. and the
professional politicians are sad.
Thus Dallas places herself beside
Los Angeles in leading the way to-
ward the making Of public servants
rather than public tyrants out OF OF
ficeholders.

PLAN NEW LINE
TO GRAND CANYON
Railroad System 500 Miles Long
Is to Connect with
the Santa Fe
WORK TO BE STARTED SOON
Proposed Road viii Give Rio
Grande a Direct Route
Into California
WORK TO BE STARTED SOON

Los Angeles will have a new line into
the Grand Canyon over the Salt Lake
and the new Utah & Grand Canyon
road, according to plans of the officials
of the latter road which have just been
announced. Frank H. Dudley of Mi
agara Falls, N. Y, president, and John
w. Burke of New York, chief engineer
of the new line, recently made trip
over the proposed line and made public
the complete plans of the road for the
first time.
The canyon system will cover about
500 miles and will be built in three
branches, the main one of which will
extend from Lund, Utah, on the Salt
Lake road, southwark through ST.
George to Searchlight, New. Another
line from Marysvale, New, southwark
to the Grand Canyon. will connect with
the first branch. The third branch will
be connecting link between Toquer-
vile and Fredonia, Ariz The second
branch will connect with the canyon
terminus branch of the Santa Fe, thus
providing another new route of travel
from this city through the Grand Can
yon.
President Dudley announced that
work on the road was to begin at an
early date. The company is capitalized
at S150,O00 for initial work, with the
Utah Southern company affiliated for
exploitation purposes. Other officers of
the company are Fred II. Read, vice
president; Frank Haines, second vice
president, and II. B. Merchant, treas
urer, all of New York.
AS Marysvale is the Thistle branch
terminus of the Rio Grande line, this
road would be given an opportunity to
reach California by direct route il the
proposed road is built.

FEDERATION CLUB GIVES
LUNCHEON TO BOOSTERS
Four Long Tables Arranged for
Membership HuStIerS Are
Crowded to Limit

There was a much larger crowd at
the Federation club luncheon yesterday
than any day during its history. The
enthusiasm over the membership con-
test is now at its very highest pitch
The four long tables arranged for each
of the divisions were crowded, and had
to be added to from time to time, and
the table of division No. had to be
extended out into the corridor. Quite
a number were turned away from the
dining room on account of not being
able to find seats.
One notable feature of the luncheon
was the unusually large number of
prominent business men, some of whom
had their wives and daughters with
them. Applications for new members
came in more rapidly and in larger
numbers than any day since the cam
paign started, and from the enthusiasm
that was manifested not only by the
campaign committee and the division
leaders, but by every individual work.
er of each division, it is practically
assured now that the 600 aimed for
will be secured before 10 o'clock to-
night.
The first speaker was D. Z. Luther,
general secretary of the Y. M. c. A,
whose address was a very strong ap-
peal to the division workers to get
out and hustle and keep on hustling
until the very last moment, He was
confident the 600 would be secured.
Mrs. ]. w. Boothe, soprano soloist OF
the First Congregational church, de-
lighted the audience with vocal solos
DR.. John Willis Baer, president of Oc-
cidental college, gave an enthusiastic
address on the benefits of the Federa-
tion club from the standpoint of Chris
tian fellowship.
The luncheon hour was closed Will
a typical description of the painting
presented to the club by A. Mont
gomery, the farmer painter. The paint
Ing is a replica of the one which he pre-
sented to President Mckinley, while
he occupied the White House, and Mr..
Montgomery gave humorous sketch
of how he approached the White House
and succeeded in getting by the guards
and presented the painting to the presl-
dent His humor kept the guests IN
an uproar Of laughter.
The club rooms will be about the
busiest place in the city today and UP
until midnight. supper will be served
so that workers need not take the time
to go home or even go to a restau-
rant for their evening meals.
Credit for applications must elther
be at the club rooms or telephoned IN
before 10 o'clock tonight.
This is a good time for the business
men Of Los Angeles to take advantage
of an opportunity to support an or
ganization that is doing and will con-
tinue untold good for civic righteous
ness and at the very small cost of so
initiation fee and 81 per month dues.
