The rope was a rattlesnake and IL at

OF that Is on Osborn, at even money.

We don't figure he has a chance. and,
of course, we don't consider him In
the betting at all. We don't even
make him a long shot. Our bets are
$500 or any part thereof.
I'm regard to the United States
senatorship. Townsend has the call.
We have made him an odds-on favor

There is not much betting yet ON the

WHAT 1T MEANS

m HE HERALD makes no conceal
ment of the pleasure it feels over
II the appreciation of its services
in behalf of clean. government, as ex-
pressed in letters from the successful
candidates printed in this morning S
news columns. 1t fought for a prin-
ciple in the campaign just ended and
it has that wholesome satisfaction that
is to be found in a duty well per-
formed.
1t begs to extend, in turn, its COM
pliments to the public spirited men and
women of Los Angeles whose personal
work and contributions made possible
the victory in behalf of good govern
ment yesterday. That their success was
not more overwhelming is due to the
fact that in the nature of the case
self interest always works with a bet
ter organization and harder and more
effectively than patriotic unselfishness.
Opposed to each other yesterday were
almost unlimited money against a COM
paratively meager fund from public
spirited donations; practiced machine
workers against unskilled volunteers,
armed only with the cause of jutsice
appeals to selfish personal interest
against the broad appeal to serve the
common good.
That the victory went to the side of
the common good in these circum-
stances is due to the splendid upris-
ing that followed the call of The Her
aid and other leaders. The fruits of
the victory will be more apparent
later. The election established that it
is not waste of time and effort for
good men to serve the public; that our
board of public utilities is not to be
cowed into inaction and uselessness
by corporations; that organized capital
must submit, like the individual citi-
zen, to proper rules and regulations;
that an administration shall not be
punished for enforcing the law without
fear or favor.
If the light rate ordinance and the
tax ordinance had been repudiated yes
terday we might as we'll have said good
by to the public utilities board as an
agency of any real worth, for it would
not have felt safe in taking any action
in behalf of the public; and the refer
endum would have become an effective
club in the hands of reactionaries and
obstructionists TO beat any good law to
death.

''You Have Builded a City"

Los Angeles Greeting

terday demonstrated again it's
II willingness and ability to rise to
important emergencies. The result of
the city election justifies all the faith
and hope placed in the intelligent
democracy that composes the metropo-
lis of the southland by its leaders of
justice and righteousness 1t must put
new heart into the agencies that are
working in other American communi-
ties, many of them against great and
discouraging odds, for the betterment
of civic conditions.
One of our great cities, at least, has
the civic conscience to keep out of high
places, after it has thrown out. the
elements that would make government
means of exploitation through organ
lied wealth, license and greed. The de-
feat of two men of the type of Barney
Healy and DR.. Arthur Houghton, sup
ported as they were by almost unlim-
tied financial aid and all the tricks
of the political trade, proves that it is
not necessary for a large American
community to give itself up to political
plunderbunds, as sad experience has
unhappily made many other towns be-
lieve.
1t simply shows that in all cities the
right kind of team work by the unself-
ish, home-loving forces will conquer,
because they are in the majority. Only
supineness let's the professional politi-
clans prey upon the rest, and this is
the message of Los Angeles, through
the ballot box, to other American
towns both big and small. That the
greeting we flashed over the telegraph
wires to them last night will bring US
honor and renown is not the least of
the gratifying aspects of the results,
and The Herald again predicts that it
will inure to our great benefit in
material way by advertising to the
world that here may be found a clean
city, free from graft, disreputable rule,
and the bad economic and social condi-
tions that are their inevitable corollary.
The professional politician is persona
non grata with the citizenship of Los
Angeles. To say it stirs the pride of
those who patriotically boast. like Saul
of Tarsus, of being citizens of no mean
city"

oLD-FAsHIoNED FOURTH

The dawn of the Fourth-the old annual story
The nervous mans dread and the small boy S
glory.
The east is yet gray when all the land rum
bles,
And the small cannon pops and the big cannon
grumbles;
And the torrid sun creeps through a blue haze
of powder,
And the torpedoes snap and the cannons boom
louder
on the Fourth of July
The old d-fashioned Fourth of July!
The small boys abroad and his breakfast for
with his long stick of punk his smoldering
cotton;
And he touches off bombs and crackers and
rockets,
And drops pin-wheels in the policeman S
pockets;
Old gentlemen swear and old ladies mutter
And the Chnaman peeps through his steel
bolted shutter
on the Fourth of July
The old fashioned Fourth Of July!
The nervous may fume and sizzle with ire,
Rut The rocket will flare and squirt its red fire;
the police protest and almost profanely
And the papers may plead to spend the day

And list to the boom of the big cannon

The old fashioned Fourth of July!

CHARGES LIGHT COMPANIES
WITH LOWERING VOLTAGE

Editor Herald: Apropos the contro-
versy as to whether the people shall
pay cents or cents per kilowatt hour
for their electric light, l beg to call at
tention to one feature which makes
either 9-cent or a 7-cent rate very ex-
pensive.
In the southwestern part of the city
the voltage is so much below the stand
ard that the lamps in house look like
a collection of red strings, and unless
you turn on a whole bunch of lights at
once in a room you have to light a
match to find those you have already
lighted.
/ believe 1t is a conservative estimate
that the drop in voltage and conse-
quent loss of light for each lamp inn
poses a greater tax upon the average
consumer than the question of differ
ence in rates.
| believe that here, where we have
cheap fuel and water power combined,
we are entitled to a lower rate than
almost any other city. but we are least

than they are. But when Diaz passes
away the rurales are as likely to take
sides between the various military
aspirants for the presidency as other
MeXicans are.
1t is a curious fact that the Latin
race is so backward about acquiring
the principles with the forms of
democracy. In Central American
countries. republics in name, there Is
no such thing as government by count
of noses. The situation always brings
out a dictator.
The same Is true of some South
American countries; in others. where
conditions are the best, we have gov
ernments by oligarchy.
Four families are depended on to
fill the presidency of Chile. Balma-
ceda, who did not belong to either was
turned out. Great families have most
to say about the government of Brazil.
Mexico, however, is used to an auto
crat; and without one who knows but
a period of civil war will come? That
was the condition before Diaz. Why
not after?
Then will arise the question, due to
the great value of American invest
ments in Mexico, what the United
States will do about 1t.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-01

recall that this speech was made by
the man who has been and now is one
of Mr.. Roosevelt's most intimate po-
litical friends, the man whom Mr..
Roosevelt says was really the inventor
of the most important of the Roosevelt
policies-the policy of the conservation
of natural resources; and the speech
was made short time after Mr.. Pin
chot's famous interview with Mr..
Roosevelt in Italy about which the
newspapers told US some weeks ago.
The most important truth which Mr..
Pinchot told, and the one which 1t most
concerns, certain interests and influ-
ences heretofore unduly powerful in
our policies to comprehend. is embod-
led in the words which we repeat:
"A NEW LIFE is STIRRING
AMONG THE DRY BONES OF FOR
NAL PLATFORMS AND ARTIFI-
CIAL ISSUES. MORALITY HAS
BROKEN INTO POLITICS. POLITI-
CAL LEADERS, TRUST-BRED AND
TRUST-FED, FIND IT HARDER
AND HARDER TO CONCEAL THEIR

HAMMERING OF THE PROGRESS
SIVE ONSET. THE DEMAND OF
THE PEOPLE FOR POLITICAL
PROGRESS WILL NOT BE DENIED.
THE PEOPLE OF THE UNIT
ED STATES DEMAND A NEW DEAL
AND A SQUARE DEAL"
1t is going to be infinitely better for
not only a certain class of politicians,
but also for the interests that have
been the masters of these politisians,
to ponder and fully realize the truth
of these declarations of Mr.. Pinchot.
AS surely as right will eventually tri-
umph, these words sound the gather
ing cry of the masses of the people of
this country and by the sign of "A
NEW DEAL AND A SQUARE DEAL"
they will conquer the selfish and cor
rupt in politics and repossess them
selves of the rights that through the
medium of laws passed by controlled
lawmakers have been filched from
them in the years gone by.
