Boss Parker stands for "Doc" lilnd-ley—butLos Angeles won't.

Los Angeles doesn't need the gold

The Oates are open to good govern-

It is Important, however, that thehnnds of the new chief be strengthenedby co-operative effort on -the part ofother branches of the city governmentand by the people of allclasses as Well.Give him a fair chance, with cordial

support on all sides, and there Is every

reason to believe he will redeem his

Los Angeles is .lust entering upon :i

"Boss Parker suits me."—

Lindley.

But he doesn't suit Los Angeles.

It's a poor medium whom the spooks

don't warn of his own exposure.

Between the machines of both partiesvote for Gates and be free of all.

Walter and Walter—

the gold bricktwins. Don't let them work you.

The S. P. willbe glad to have youvote for Lindley. Parker says so.

With men ofunusual intelligence andintegrity representing as candidatesthe principle of non-partisanship, thereis every reason why the honest citi-zens of Los Angeles should determineto vote the whole non-partisan ticket,without a scratch.

The Herald believes In the Roose-veltlan principle of non-partisanshipin civic affairs, and It believes thatMr. Gates Is a splendid example ofthat principle. And so is the entirenon-partisan ticket, especially Includ-ing the nominees for the city council.

During the past four or five dayspublic sentiment hns sot In towardGates with an emphasis that cannotbe mistaken or misunderstood. Hispublic meetings are nightly crowded

with enthusiastic citizens; his ad-dresses are greeted by marked evi-dences of approval and everywhere ItIs now admitted that (rates has a long

lead over his competitors.

Dr. Lilndley is busy defending him-self from his OWB record when eon-M"<i,.,i with tho Whlttlor reform school.and Mr. Harper has lost prestige byKaSOn Of his apparent attitude Infavor of "a wideop.n town."

Boss Walter and "Doc" Walter.

United they stand in; divided they fall.

In prescribing Boss Walter "Doc"Walter gives Los Angeles a bitter dose.

The commutation of. Patrick's sen-tence should carry high hopes to HarryThaw.

In the light of "Boss Ruef" in SanFrancisco, does Los Angeles want BossParker?

The famous climate of Southern Cali-

fornia is still doing business at theold stand.

Los Angeles will observe Thanks-giving by pulling off a great prize fightthe night before.

"Doc" Llndley lacks one power that"Doc" Houghton claims. Lindley is noboy hypnotist.

During tho confusion one man en-tered the bag-gage car and placed acharge of nitroglycerine under the bis

In the meanwhile Frank Jenningshad thrown the switch to bring thetrain in on the siding. It looked likea sinecure until the train hove In sightthrough the woods and the. customary

sißiial to stflr was given. The en-gineer had been previously warned,and instead of obeying he threw thethrottle wide open. Frank Jonningsrealized that a disastrous wreck wasimminent. 90 he ran at t<~p speed downthe- track, pulling off his mask andwaving It frantically. The driver didnot see the danger until he was al-most upon the switch. When he didhe reversed the locomotive and broughtthe train to a standstill within a fewfeet of a long string of box cars onthe siding.

Tho gang decided to intercept apassenger train, on which $100,000 wasbeing hurried to soldiers in the south-west. Their information was completeand they knew that the money washeavily guarded. While the men wereawaiting tho arrival of the train inbroad daylight one of the gang founda tramp at the roadside. The strangerwas captured and held for fear of In-terruption. The occupants of the sec-tion house were locked in and therobbers sat down on the steps outsidy

to greet the passenger.

The first charge against the gangwas ?he robbery of the postoffice atFoyil. In the Cherokee Nation. Thenext board of the men they were go-ing across the country to Mince, In-dian Territory. 200 miles distant, wherethey planned to rob the bank. Whileon their way they discovered thattheir intentions were known to theauthorities, so they passed Mince onthe north and circled to the west,

striking the Rock Island railroad southof Minc3 and three miles from Chick-asha. Here were situated "Siding No.1" and a section house.

The name night Kd and John Jen-nings met Houston nnd Sheriff JackLove in a saloon. HouFton began fir-ing and Jennings replied. The lightswere extinguished. When tho smokelifted Ed Jennings was found dead.AI nnd Frank Jennings then plannedto kill Houston and Love, but weredissuaded by their father and finallyinduced to leave Woodward. Thobrothers drove across country andkept to themselves. Both were pjepertmarksmen, especially Frank, who wairated next to Houston In those days.After a while they were joined by Patund >:or/i3 O'Mally, both of whomwir \u25a0 once deputy T'nlted States inar-slia'.s. Thus the gang was formed.

ai Jennings obtained his rust noto-riety by beating Mayor Hensley of v.\Reno, the county seal of Canadian,because Kenstej hit »t him throughhis paper. The real trouble started.however, when Bd Jennings waskill,,1 at Woodward by Temple Hous-ton, son of General sum Houston ofTexas. Houston was acknowledged tobe tho bell pistol shot In the two ter-ritories. Houston passed the lie dur-ing a trial in which ihe two lawyerswive opposing counsel, and Jenningsslapped the Texan's face.

Frank Jennings, In relating his itoty,hillKhed -when lie ,Mine to this part.

"11"11 whi enotigh to make a man feel'mean th* illm haul we got," he said.

1"Foi pine deviltry we decided to 'holdup' the pamtengera and the guardi, sowe lined "em up alongside a rem andwenl through the bunch."

The rearcnlng process was thorough,. too. Not a womafi or child was both-lered, but the men were compelled toturn their lockets Inside OUI while,

four srtin-fuced men behind a* many)Buns stood quietly by. a man dressedas a priest h mded $2 to oiip of thebandits. On the Instant Frnnk Jen-nings spoke.

"Is that all you have?","It Is.":Without further parley Jennlngi

hmuled the"clergyman back his moneyand held oul a $B bill which he hadtaken from one of the other passen«gen, The pi-*, shook hi* head, butsmiled.

When the train load had beenplucked the gang wns anxious to b'off, but Frank Jennings lumi ,moreforesight, and he climbed In the loco-motive, ,ai) with a gruff command forthe engineer to kill his fire. This wasdone only at the point of a revolver.

The band then cantered leisurelyiaway, and Hcattered in the directionof the Cherokee Nation, planning toImeet at a point near the little villageof Olaremore. This was In October.Of the gang none had more escapadesthan Frank Jennings. An It happenedhe came across the tramp whom heand his companions had held whilethey were waiting for the train, Jen-nings immediately recognized the wan-derer, and, reaching down in his grip,where he carried the money taken dur-ing the "holdup" he handed the raggedwitness a handful of bills and silver. .

"Well, how"d you make It?" askedthe tramp. "That how," repliedFrank, and rotlo off.

One day while Jennings whs ridingout of a clearing he inn into a bigbunch of deputy United States mar-shals, who "spotted" him instantly.The subsequent happenings are told inJennings' own words."Iknew It would take some tall

strategy to get out of this hole," hesaid. "Fortunately for me, 1 was dis-guised as a 'nestor,' and simply bluffed'em out. Itold the fellows Iwas aMissouri gttoaser; that my wife wasside, and that Iand the rest of theifamily were lost Ieven told my Mis-souri name. Itlooked like things weregoing smoothly untiluiie of the officersremarked: 'That's a mighty good hoTsefor a Missouri squatter to be riding;'but by that time Iwas rldtug off un-concernedly, not daring to look back.

"Pretty soon Iheard the clatter ofhoofs and Iknew they were after me.Then Irealized it would take a fight,

1opened fire and the men scatteredlike prairie chickens?, giving tne time toswim the creek and escape."

Another time Jennings was ridingthrough a heavily shaded ravine, notsuspecting danger, when a volley frombehind a tree killed his horse andcaused him to fall to the ground.Jennings heard a man declare trium-phantly: "Now Igot him!" He turned,md emptied his gun in the directionof the voice, took the saddle nnd bridlelrom his dead horse and walked awaywith the fortune in the grip swungover his shoulders. When the outlawcrept up to a house where some farm-ers were staying he saw a dozen horse*tied to the fence near the front door.Hs walked over, picked out the bestanimal, subHtltuted his own bridle andsaddle and rode away. When he gotto a safe distance he turned the animalloose.

In December, nearly three monthsafter the sensational "hold up," theifour outlaws met at "Sp;ke S" ranch, |near Claremore. A man whom they

'had once befriended owned "Spike. S."

The fugitives were betrayed and aposse of twenty-flve marshals und dep-uties was put on their trail. It wasthen that the biggest fight of the south-west, not excepting any of the thrill-ing battles of the notorious James ]boys, was pulled off in a little clearing-ion "Spike S."

The officers were under the command i

Frank ran across a former horsethief named Bnker, whom he sent for0 surgeon. Baiter went and returnedwith the physician, but in the mean-time notified the United Stales officersof the plans or the fugitives. Ignorantof their betrayal, the bandits startedacross the country again in a wagon,Baker guiding. A night or two after-ward the party was riding through agully in the mountains when n scoreof armed men appeared from all sides;Frank put up no fight, and the otherswore too 111 to move.

Xo doubt there Is some ground for

charges* of misbehavior on the part of

some high school members of the so-cieties, but it I» unjust to make lndl-vdual indiscretion a cause of complaint

against the whole society system: There

certainly is nothing in the recognized

methods of the Greek letter societiesthat affords reasonable ground for ob-

jection. And It Is safe to say that per-

sons familiar with the subject appre-ciate the beneficial results that should

come from the association of students

In societies.

The average college alumnus is likely

to conclude that if tlr- hgh school

youngsters encounter no worse influ-

entiiH than pertain to their Greek let-

ter societies there will be no gre\tcause for Worry about them. Habitsof iard playing, tobacco wmoking and

wine drinking are not to be ac-quired in Buch associations. Such hab-its usually begin in comparative seclu-

sion, and are formed before the periodof association In high school societies.

Concerning the girl> societies, the

charge is that such association "leadsto frivolityof mind; that It creates un-pleasant social lines and distinctions

in schools, and is not In consonancewth the general spirit of the educa-

tional system."

The chief argument advanced in op-

position to thp so-called Greek lettersocieties Is that the secret meetings af-ford opportunities for improprieties that\u25a0would not be indulged in publicly. Itis alleged that the boys a-c tempted

to indulge in cigarette smoking, cardplaying and even to Infraction of the

scriptural admonition, "Look not upon

the wine when it is red."

FROM ALPHA TO OMEGAThere appears to be a good deal of

misdirected energy In the effort to dis-

rupt or afcolish the fraternal societiesof tin Los Angelas high Fchools. Mem-bers of women's clubs appear to be

the prime movers In opposition to the

societies, but their views are sharedby at least some members of the board

of education and by leading instructorsIn the schools.

What would be thought of a busi-ness man who ran hi.s affairs in theslipshod fashion that the city or thecounty pursues? What opinion wouldbe had of \u25a0 merchant who expendedevery possible cent of his Income onchimerical schemes, uselesss and Idleemployes uti.i reckless adventure*, andthen went about borrowing moneywhen his store outgrew Its four wiillH.'That's all it amounts to. That's thaanswer.

But when the powers that be wastethe funds at hand, naturally they mustfeel cramped when unusual demandscome up. Such waste is common bothin city and county administration— rotonly in this county, but elsewhere. ItIs the common practice, not to see howleconomically or carefully city orcounty business can he run, and howmuch can be saved from the Income.This would be too business-like. No;the ordinary process Is to ascertainthe greatest amount of money thatcan possibly be accumulated, and thento devise just as many ways to spendall of it, and then sony, as ingenuitycan conceive.

The result Is an a.vray of useless tax(\u25a0aters, all fattening lit the public crib,

a foolish, reckless outpouring of moneyon UHeless, Impracticable schemes, anda financial stringency chronic in Useffects. . \u0084i

Los Angeles county is extremelywealthy and Its Income is vej-y larg-a.Instead "f conserving it, the supervis-ors throw It away on UMIeM votingmachines that never have served at anelection since they were !bought at

double rates; on other wild schemes;on a host of Idlers who hold down alno-cures, and the liKe. Then, when neCMsity ariHt-B for an additional building,

a bridge, a larger than ordinary work-ing force for Home specified purpose,there goes up a howl of lack of fundsand a fierce demand for a bond Issue.Very properly, the people are wearyof this, and they have voiced theirdisgust in no uncertain terms

—a

cost .ir some thousands of dollurs ofIIk- county money.

What is requisite to the securing: ofthese needed buildings is a saving ofcounty funds and a wise expenditureof county income

—a thing sadly lack-

ing in the past. A realizing sense ofthis on the part of county authoritieswillenable them to acquire everythingneedful to a proper and conservative

administration of county affairs.

Not that the projects for whichmoney was asked are not worthy. Ev-eryone of them is. The county needs ahall of records, it needs a detentionhome; It needs all the improvementsspecified. And it should have them.But it doesn't require a bond issue toobtain them.

The habit of voting bonds every time

a city or county wants internal im-provements is needless, costly and un-necessary. Very rightly the proposi-

tion advanced by Los Angeles countylast week was defeated. It shouldhave been.
