AMERICAN PARTY

VII ITH the fall of Cannon the OBJ
w structive. tyrannical anti-popu-
" lar force called Cannonism will
be eliminated from national politics.
and the dangerous tendency toward
centrality of power ended. Joe Cannon
odd. angular, eccentric, shrewd, crafty,
ingenious. amiable, vituperative, pious'
profane, kindly, vindictiVe composed
of the oldest mixture that ever went
to the making of one man, is whipped.
The speakers Waterloo was antiei-
pated. The special washington corre-
spondent Of Los Angeles Herald said
aptlv a Democratic Blucher and an in
surgent wellington were leading the
allied forces to victory. The fact that
practicable and successful alliance was
nossible shows the elasticity and adap-
liability of the American form of gov
ernment. and the peaceful solution of
a difficulty which, in many other coun-
tries. would have produced clash that
might have had serious consequences,
is another evidence of the security of
a nation in which democracy is tenn
pered by a regard for law, and even
the most audacious usurpation of
power and assertion of privilege cannot
become permanent.
1t may be true the Republican party
has had to sacrifice Cannon in order to
save the shreds of a reputation tattered
and torn by administrative blunders,
but that only adds to the force Of the
statement that public sentiment in the
United States still predominates all
other causes which produce political
effects, and this is such convincing
proof Of the power of the people that
friends of Americanism may take cour-
age and realize the republics best days
are coming.
The assertion and restoration of rep
resentative government in the house
Of representatives will eliminate a par
adox from the national life. To use an
old, old comparison, the defeat of the
sneaker is the handwriting on the wall.
All that he represents in the Repub-
lican party is rebuked by his fall. The
Democratic insurgents and the liberal
Republicans in their union have found
their strength. and the result will ap-
peal powerfully to the imagination and
the reason of the country. Cannonism
was rebuked and Cannon defeated by
THE AMERICAN PARTY.

WOMAN VOTERS

N MPEROR WILLIAM has a horror
Of spiritualism, homeopathy and
~ Christian Science. But his pet
aversion is suffragetism. He thinks
women are incapable of taking intelli-
gent part in public affairs. and says
they must look after their houses and
children. OF the British suffragettes,
he remarked, sconingly: Il suppose
they'll want to sit in parliament next %
Undoubtedly they will. In the United
Kingdom they are on the high road to
congressional or parliamentary aspira-
tions. As soon as they have settled
that little matter of the franchise they
viii demand seats in the legislative
council of the nation. and, we believe,
will get them.
Already British women have secured
votes in municipal matters. They vote
for the mayor and for the city Off
cials and the council. Various social
reforms, which have marked British
legislation in recent years have been
brought about in great measure by
feminine influence.
The history OF the United Kingdom
shows there is no reason to fear the
consequences of female suffrage. AT
the elections in which British women
have won the right to vote, satisfac-
tory results have been recorded. The
quality of candidates for office has
been improved and the community has
been benefited by the political influence
Of THE ladies, God bless them"

ADVERTISING

nLANS are being discussed for the
annual convention of the Pacific
Il Coast Advertising Mems associa-
tion. It will be one of the greatest
ever held in the west. No branch of
modern business life has made ad-
vances as great as those achieved by
the advertising branch. In country
of vast area and huge population ad-
vertising adds immeasurably to the
value of any form of business.
In a city the smallest store that ad-
vertises persistently will build up a
trade it could never hope to command
without the aid of publicity.
Advertisers in The Herald address
the population of Greater Los Angeles
and Southern California, and the
medium through which the population
is thus addressed is one that COM
mands confidence and respect, and
therefore brings results.

WOULD REMOVE SCREENS
TO SALOON ENTRANCES

LOS ANGELES, March 9,-[Editor
Herald: | was much pleased by read
ing an article in your paper in regard
to the proposition made by Judge John
ID. Works, and really hope that our
mayor and council will sanction the
same: and really wish that one more
amendment could be added and pass
them adj three at one time. The doors
and windows of saloons are always
screened in such way that the passer
by cannot see who is in the inside. Is
it to hide certain persons that do not
wish to be seen from the outside?
Would it not be more honest for such
persons to stay out? And | believe 1t
TO be a great advantage for every busi-
ness man to make a show of what he
has for sale, and not hide it behind
screens. l am not a Prohibitionist, but
I believe in good, clean saloons and no
overindulgence; therefore 1 believe
that If treating were stopped it would
bring more money home for the wife

NJ. DENISON, secretary of oak

Ia a graceful compliment to Los
Angeles, saying:
Los Angeles, through It's city gov
ernment, has accomplished much to

WHO is RESPONSIBLE FOR
FARClCAL LABOR EXCHANGES?

LOS ANGELES. March 12.-[Editor
Herald: In a cable dispatch from
London The Herald today quotes from
the London Daily Express to show
that the recently inaugurated la Dor
exchanges have failed to help the un-
employed. OF course they have failed.
If there are no jobs open, and lots of
people wanting jobs, how is the open
ing of a labor exchange or office for
registration of the unemployed going
to help the situation? To register un-
employment IS not to provide employ
ment, and only the fools or the rogues
of politicians would dare to foist such
farcical measures upon that long suf-
fering, patient ass, the public
But my chief concern at this mo-
ment is to scotch the lying pretense of
the Daily Express that the labor
exchange is Radical-Socialist pam
acea. On the contrary, it is a
purely Liberal measure, in which
the Radicals (or extreme Liberals)
take little interest and the Social
lists absolutely none. Indeed, as
indicating the contempt of the British
Socialists for labor exchanges as
remedy for unemployment, Victor
