Eyes affected soon after vaccination — five
physicians, including the best specialists, did her no
good — Cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
“Elmira Heights, N. Y., Jan. 31, 1909.
“C. I. Hood Co., Lowell, Mass.
“Gentlemen: I believe I can give Hood’s
Sarsaparilla as good a recommendation as any
one, for I have seen its wonderful effects upon
my own little daughter. She was entirely blind
for two years, and Hood’s Sarsaparilla cured her.
It is wonderful, and do you think it surprising
that I feel very grateful to this medicine?
“My story is, briefly, as follows: We had
her vaccinated, so that she could go to school.
Pretty soon, however, before her arm healed, she
began to have sore eyes. They kept getting
worse, and we took her to the doctor. Pretty
soon she was blind in one eye, and could see very
little with the other. They told us she had ulcers
on the eyeballs, and we had five different doctors,
some of the best specialists, and paid out over
$2OO for her treatment. They told us she would
lose her sight. She could not stand the least
particle of light, and so we kept her in a dark
room for weeks at a time. Occasionally she would
be a little better, but she became so poor and
nervous that she could not deep, and I did not
know what on earth to do, and was just as dis
couraged as could be when my mother said to me:
‘I want you to give her Hood’s Sarsaparilla.’ I
did not think it any use, but I did as she rec
ommended, and I am glad I did. When I had
given her eight bottles her eyes had so much im
proved that she could not only stand the light,
but was able to go to school for the first time in
Last Act of “Recall” Travesty Enacted
In Los Angelus
With Splendid Opportunity to Regain
Powerful Weapon, Appropriated by
Ring of Political Tricksters, People,
Because of Party Prejudice, Add
One More Chapter to Dreary His
tory of Machine Rule in California.
Los Angeles. Cal.. April 3. —Some-
times, the American voter, when polit
ical tricksters have gone seriously
about the business of concentrating
in a few men the power to rule that
properly belongs to the people, will
turn on those who seek to betray him,
and take what is his.
More often he will not. In Califor
nia, where for 30 years, the business
of government in the interests of a
few men, has been conducted by polit
ical tricksters from Wm. F. Herrin,
Edw. H. Harriman's chief lieutenant.,
down, such instances, are practically,
unrecorded.
Los Angeles a few days ago. was
offered a golden opportunity to make
history. To have done so, all Los An
geles need have done was to have
elected a champion of the “recall,'’
an honest, fearless and ruggedly in
dependent man. mayor.
But this man was a socialist.
Therefore, instead of making history
by taking what was their own, the
American voters of a great American
city consented to add just one more
dreary chapter to the story of machine
government in California.
They elected Geo. Alexander, the
representative of a few political
schemers, mayor. They refused to
elect Fred C. Wheeler, the represent
ative of the people, and only because
he was a socialist.
It is true that 11,000 voters, al
though flatly opposed to the principles
of socialism, cast their ballots for the
socialist, because they clearly saw the
machine tricksters who were back of
Alexander, and would have none of
them. These republicans and demo
crats alike, together with a little hand
ful of 1000 socialists, named Wheeler.
But 12.000 votes was a little over 1000
votes too few. And so. because a few
more than 1000 citizens could not for
get party prejudice for a great princi
ple, Los Angeles was delivered into
the hands of the ring.
The counting of the last ballot from
the last precinct wrote “finis’’ to a
political travesty, marked the com
plete failure of a democratic institu
tion of extraordinary power, to per
form the functions for which it was
created.
Despair and Despondency
No one but a woman can tell the story of the suffering, the
despair, and the despondency endured by women who carry
a daily burden of ill-health and pain because of disorders and
derangements of the delicate end important organs that are
distinctly feminine. The tortures so bravely endured com
pletely upset the nerves if long continued.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a positive cure for
weakness and disease of the feminine organism.
It it non-secret, non-alcoholic and has a record of forty years of cures.
Asa Youb Neighbors. They probably know of some of its many cures.
If you want a book that tells all about woman’s diseases, and how to cure
them at home, send 21 one-cent stamps to Dr. Pierce to pay cost of mailing

A master carpenter, whose recall
defeat as candidate for mayor of Los
Angeles, marked the complete failure
ft' the “recall” as a weapon for the
people.
The democratic institution was the
recall.
The travesty was the spectacle of
the recall being used against the peo
ple by a political ring, instead of
against a political ring by the people,
for whose use it was created.
A few months ago the people of Los
Angeles became dissatisfied with their
mayor, A. C. Harper. Back in 1902 Los
Angeles secured the recall. The re
call is simply an amendment to the
city charter, which provides that,
when a number of voters equal to 25
per cent of the total vote cast at the
last city election, shall petition for an
election to decide, by ballot, whether

her life. You see why it is that I cannot say
too much for Hood’s Sarsaparilla. She is just
as much pleased with a new bottle of Hood’s as
with anything we can get for her, and if I forget
to give it 'o her, she will say: ‘Now Mamma,
give me my new Hood’s.’
“To think that once we thought she could
never use her eyes, and now she can do the
finest needle work! It is wonderful, and we can
not praise Hood’s enough.” Mrs. Jennie Beards
ley, 212 Homer street, Elmira, N. Y.
We wish we could convince you of the ab
solute truth concerning the testimonials for
Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
Careful inquiry would prove to you beyond
a doubt that every testimonial we publish is as
reliable as if it came from your most trusted
neighbor; that we have more testimonials than
we can possibly publish; that every one we use
is genuine and truthful as far as we can learn,
and entitled to your entire confidence.
We say this much in presenting the letter from
Mrs. Beardsley, printed above. This is only one
of thousands of letters we have, telling of won
derful cures.
There is not the slightest doubt that as a
thorough blood purifier at all times of year and
for all blood diseases, Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the
greatest medicine that has ever been discovered.
Do you wonder at Mrs. Beardsley’s enthusi
asm? You should certainly take Hood’s Sarsa
parilla for your spring medicine. Get it today.

JOURNEAY IS
REFUSED MIL
Will Carry Case to the Court
of Criminal
Appeals.
Admitted to bail in the sum of
$lOOO on the murder charge, whica
was referred to by the court as neg
ligent homicide, but ball refused on
the criminal assault charge. This was
tile decision of Judge Dwyer, of the
thirty-seventh district court, yester
day afternoon in the habeas corpus
hearing on behalf of E. O. Journeay.
Attorney H. B. Balliway for Jour
neay stated last night that the effo:t
to secure bail would be carried to the
court of criminal appeals at once. A
transcript and other documents ror
appeal are now being prepared.
The court of criminal appeals meets
Monday in Austin. It will take, how
ever, about three days to secure the
transcript and the case will probably
not be presented until about the mid
dle of the week.
The decision of the court allowing
bail on one charge, but refusing it on
the other was received at 3:30 o’clock
yesterday afternoon and followed ex
tended arguments on both sides. A
masterful plea for the state was made
by Assistant District Attorney Cham
bers, who contended that the defend
ant should not be granted bail in the
criminal assault case, leaving the
homicidal charge out.
For nearly two hours he attacked
the case along this line. Judge Ward
opened the plea for the defense on
the re-convening o.f court at 2 o’clock
in the afternoon, finishing shortly be
fore 3 o’clock.
Journeay took the decision of the
court in an unmoved manner, though
it was manifestly a surprise to him
self and his relatives, who were pres
ent in the court room. He was at once
returned to jail by Deputy Sheriff
J. E. Dwyer. As his release is im
possible at present under the ruling
of the court, no bail will be given on
the charge under which it is allowed.
side Harper, the only person who op
posed Alexander was Fred C. Whee
ler. the choice of the socialists. Whee
ler was not conceded a chance. Los
Angeles suddenly woke to the fact
that the weapon of the recall had been
wrested from the hands of the people
and appropriated by a ring. The city
faced the bitter truth that it must
choose between two evils. Alexander
was looked upon as the most danger
ous because controlled by a group ot
men who might or might not work
tremendous injury. Harper was a
known quantity. The ring back of
Alexander was not.
Had Harper remained a candidate
even in the face of the charges
against him, he would have been elect
ed three to one. Nobody in Los An
geles doubts that. But in the heat of
the campaign, on the demand of the
Record, a local evening paper, he re
signed.
Alexander and Wheeler alone re
mained in tne field. Estimating from
former elections, Wheeler could count
on a bare thousand votes. He had
hack of him the Record and no money
for campaign purposes. His active
campaign covered 48 hours. His elec
tion in a city strongly anti-socialist,
meant the annihilation of the Alexan
der ring and the return of the recall
to the hands of the people.
This was pounded home to the vo
ters. They were urged to forget party
prejudice in a struggle for a great
principle. Then they went to the
polls.
They gave Wheeler 12,421 votes and
Alexander 13.436.
It may be that a few hundred voters
were confused by the wielding of the
recall by the ring, in hailing Alexan
der as the “recall candidate.'’ This is
doubtful. The voters knew pretty
well that Alexander was the candi
da ie of the ring, not the people.
There is no doubt that some 18,000
voters of Ix>s Angeles preferred to put
at the head of the city administration
a man. chosen and controlled by a
very limited ring rather than a man
of demonstrated integrity, fearless
ness and independence, and solely be
cause that man was of a political par
ty with which they were not in sym
pathy.
I»s Angeles still has the recall
With this last election over, it is
again an instrument in the hands ot
the people. Will it stay there?
The answer is vital, not only to
Los Angeles, but to the entire nation.
