12 * THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1896 M DIMOND OPENS UP ON THE CHARTER The Candidate for Mayor Says the Mayor Would Boss the City. He Points Out That There Would Be Three Thousand Appoint- ments at Stake. | AN APPEAL TO THE TEACHERS Some of the Views of the Man Who Will Head the Anti-Charter Fight of the Campaign. Supervisor Joseph I Dimond, Demo- cratic and Populistic candidate for Mayor, is taking a very active part in orgsnizing the anti-charter campaign, which is about 10 be opened by leading opponents of this much-discussed instrument. Mr. Dimond finds many faults in the charter as 1t is submitted to the people, but gives two points especial importance— the concentration of power in the hands of the Mayor and the debated one of the eifect of the charter on the public schools. His views on these points are presented | in the following communication, which is | of interest as exhibiting the attitude of the leading opponents of the charter: SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5,1896. | To the Editor of The Call—Siz: My position | in regard to the new charter 2ppears to be mis- | understood in some quarters, and I request permission to state through your columns my | views on a matter of great public interest and | importance. | Iam not,and never have been, in favor of the charter. I comnsider that instrument un- | democratic, un-American and unworthy of | tne support of any citizen who has at Heart | the welfare of this community. It is & conglomeration of laws, rules and regulations crudely snd hurriedly put to- gether, which if adopted as tha organic law of San Francisco will certainly work a vast amount of mischief. I have not time here to discuss, or even refer to, all of the defectsap- parent in the charter. 1 will, however, touch upon a few. ; In the first place the charter is undemo- cratic. Its framers were evidently imbued with the notion that the people of this City are Dot capable of self government, for it is sought by this charter to deprive the people of the | power of electing their own servants. The | charter might be weil adapted to the govern- ment of a Russian or Chinese municipality where the common people enjoy few pri leges other than that of living, but it is cer- | tainly ill suited to the wants of a great Ameri- | can city. 20, The most serious objection to the charter is | the power vested by it in the Mayor. It makes of him a verilable Czer. . Ii the charter is adopted the Mayor will ap- point: Board of Education. Police Commissioners. Fire Commissioners. Park Commissioners. Board of Health. Election Commissioners. . Board of Public Works. Ciyil Service Commissioners, Library Trustees. City Attorney. hoorors 8. 9, 10. 11. Public Administrator. And when the constitution and the laws ‘shail be changed he will appoint: 12. County Clerk. 13. Recorder.* 14. Tax Collector. 15. Coroner. 16. Justices of the Peace. ‘What does this greatpower mean? It means | that the Mayor shall nominally. at least, con- trol the appointment directly or indirectly of fully 3000 persons emploved in the different departments of our municipal Government. With the Fire Department, Police Depart- ment, School Deparsment, Park Commis- sioners, Street Department, County Clerk’s office, Tax Collector’s office and Recorder's office acting together iu politics, &8 they cer- tainly would when conirolled by one man (the | Mayor), nothing could withstand their in- fluence in primary politics as well as at general elections; their combined power would be invincible. If an absolutely perfect man would always be elected Mayor no oanger need be apprehended, but in no man can per- fection be found. Itis ter for us on account | of the imperfections and frailties of men to | divide authority as much as possible among the people and give no man ihe vast power which the charter contemplates shall be exer- cised by the Mayor. A greater er vet to fear is the danger that the Mayor may be the tool of a boss. My nomination was conferred on me by the | Democratic and People’s party conventions without solicitation on my part and without pledge or promise of any kind from me or on ) my behalf. Jam satisfied that the otner gen- | tlemen nominated for the office of Mayor, all of whom I kuow to be men of pure character | and strict integrity, are unpledged. I know | that each is too honorable to barter away the | patronage of the office to which he aspires. | But the charter is not yet adopted. If the new charter becomes the organic law of this | municipality pledged candidates will be the rule and not the exception. 1 have said more than I intended saying, | but not one-tenth as much as might be said upon this subject alone. I will now refer to | that portion of the charter which relates to the powers of the Board of Education. The char- | ter provides that the School Department shall | be under the control and management of a | Board of Education composed of five school | directors, to be appointed by the Mayor. | Under the charter the board has power “to | employ, pay and dismiss such teachers and | persons as may be necessary to carry into effect | its powers and duties. * * * Bui no teacher shall be dismissed except for sufficient cau which shall be determined by said board after giving the accused teacher due hearing in his | or her defense. | Under the present law a teacher once elected “shall be dismissed only for violation of the rules of the Board of Education or for incom- tency, unproiessional or immorai conduct.” On two oceasions at least the Board of Educa- tion of this City, through favoritism ot prejudice, has attempted to dismiss competent teachers from the department without any prooi of violation of the rules of the board, or without proof of unprofessional or immoral conduct, and in each case the Supreme Court of this State has compelled the board to re- instate the teacher. I refer to the case of the late Kate Kennedy against the Board of Edu- cation and the case of Miss Fairchild against the same board. Under the charter, if adopted, three mem- bers of the Board of Directors, acting in con- cert, may dismiss for any cause which they | may determine to be scficient any teacher, however capable. The charter places each and every teacher in the public schools of this | City at the mercy of three School Directors, or | perhaps the Mayor who appoints them. or the | goliflc-l boss by whose grace the Mayor fills is office. Any schoolteacher who raises his or her voice or whose influence is exerted in ad- vocacy of the charter displaysa woeful lack of interest in the welfare ot the department and a wonderful disregard of his or her own interest. Under the charter the Board of Edu- cation at its first meeting may dismiss every teacher in the department. Suppose the board thus arbitrarily scts. It of course may ap- point teachers to fill the vacancies. The board may every year dismiss the teachers. What worry and anguish may not the teacher suffer reelizing as he or she must that his or her posi- tion at s1l times is held subject to the whim, caprice or prejudice of a majority of a board composed of five, or that at the dictation ofa boss intent upon rewarding a favorite the teacher 1s liable at any time .to_be cast adrift in the world with a profession, but without the right to practice it. There 1s another clause, however, to which I object, and to which every liberal-minded American_ought to object.” That. clause is alone sufficient to demn the entire charter. I refer to subdivision 4 of section 1, chapter III, article 7 of the charter. Thatclause reads as follows: 4 The Board of Education shall not appoint any Dperson to be a teacher in the primary or grammar classes of the schools of this City and County ex- cent upon compeiitive examination of those persons holding teacher’s certificates, and who have been educated in the public school system of the State of California. That clause was intended to exclude from the right to teach in our public schools men and women who have been educated in pri- vate educational institutions. It is a direct slap in the face of a large body of our citizen: who represent half the population, hali the | sailor had a perceptible * votesand a fair proportion of the wealth, in- telligence and efterprise of this community. Why should such a narrow-minded policy be engrafted into the organic law of any American municipality? Whay should we rec- ognize anything but worth, capacity and morals in the Seiection of our teachers? Un- der this objectionabie provision a graduate of Oxford, Cambridge, Haryard, Yalc, or of the Stanford University would be inehgible to ap- pointment as teacher in our public schools. I have heard it said by certain advocates of the charter, one of whom is now seeking public | office, that under this clause an applicant will not be obliged to pass through the public Schools, that he or she may after leaving a pri- vate school enter the Normal School, there study for one year and’ thereupon shall be eligible to appointment as teacher. Such a | construction is absurd. The very letter and spirit of that provision require that the appli- cant for a teacher’s position shall be ‘‘brought up’” or “reared” -or ‘‘trained” in the public | schools of the State. The constitution of the State defines the public school system. We find the definition in section 6 of article IX of the constitution as follows: “The public school system shall inciude primary and grammar schools and such hign schools, evening schools, normal schools and technical schools as may be established by the Legislature or by municipal or district author- | stger The charter means that a teacher must have received his or her education or training in the school system as defined by the constitu- tiom. Suppose a girl spends the first year or two of her school days in one of the primary grades of our public schools. Suppese she spends the remainder of her school days in a private school; can it be said that she has been edu- cated (brought up or reared) in the public school system of this State? Csn.linl{ not. Suppose the child instead of spending the first year of her school days in the primary grade spends the last year only of her schooi life in the Normal School, can it be said that she has been educated, brought up or reared in the public school system of the State ? Cer- tainly not. The cases are parallel. The char- ter, if adopted, must receive & construction if i accordance with its spirit. Any court to whom the validity of this clause will be submitted would hold, and reasonably o, that persons educated or brought up in private schools must be excluded from positions as teachers in our public schools. I sincersly hope that no court will ever have an opportunity to pass upon the question, and that the charter will never pass beyond the tribunal of the people. The promises made to the teaghers ny the framers and advocates of the new charter 10 secure amendments to the same by bringing about a repeal of all objectionable provisions relating to the School Department are too | silly 1o notice. ‘The teachers are not fools to be taken in by promiseswhich the promisers have not the power to keep. The opinion of the attorneys employed by the charter makers that the provisions reiating o the public schools are unconstitutional and | void is entitled to no respect whatever. In the Freeholders’ convention were two able lawyers, one of whom is denouncing his work | &s unconstitutional. How does any_person, leyman or lawyer, know that the Supreme Court will decide the school law in the charter | to be unconstitutional? None but the Omnis- cient can fore tell how the Supreme Court will decide any question. chances, but exert their influeuce in every possible direction to kill an instrument which strikes a deadly blow at their crafi. Let every true American ignore tie mouthings and literature of sham reformers, who proclaim the charter to be a godsend, and let honest citi- zens on election day damn beyond hope of re- demption the iniquitous charter. Very truly yours, JosepH 1. DIMOND. NOT WHAT THEY SEEMED. A Sailor and a Woman Mas-| querading in Each Other’s Attire. They Were Arrested and Released on Their Own Recognizance by Judge Campbell. People who happened to be in the neigh- borliood of Powell and Eddy streets about 4 o'clock Monday morning had their at- tention attracted by the peculiar appear- ance of a man and a woman. The man was dressed in the garbof a sailor in Uncle Sam’s navy and looked extremely th.n about the shoulders and waist. The woman looked like a giantess. They had both been drinking, and the jag” on. Police- men Ring and McCottery saw the couple and as they passed under a lamppost something in the rollicking gait of the ‘woman aroused their suspicions and they accosted the pair. Neither the sailor nor the woman would at first answer any questions, but when they at last spoke they could not disguise their voices and they had to coniess that they were not what they seemed. The sailor was & woman ana the ,-up]igsed woman was a sailor belonging to the Mon- terey. He gave his name as Leon Felker and the woman as Bessie Price. They were taken in the patrol wagon to the City Prison and charged with mas- querading in attire that did not belong to them. Felker is a big, strapping young fellow, and his appearance was extremely Indicrous. He wore his blue flannel un- derclothing and over it a long light uister belonging to the woman. He had on her hat, a light straw sailor, and his face was covered with her veil. trancing in the sailor suit, aithough it was several sizes too large for her. She was so unstrung at being arrested that she fainted .in the prison. Felker said he bad known her in Vallejo and she came here to have a good time with him. Just for fun they thought they would ex- change clothes, and they never thought they would be arrested. Judge Campbell visited the _prison Monday morning and released them on their own recognizance. Feiker had meantime donned his own suit and he went 10 Bessie’s room and brought her dress, so that she could leave the prison | decently zlad. . Felker and Bessie appeared before Judge Campbell yesterday morning. They both expresred contrition for their foolishness and the Judge was lenient. He sentenced Felker 10 pay a fine of $3, with no alter- native, and Bessie was released on her own recognizance for ten days, as she said she would return to Vallej . ‘Williams Still Without Bail Attorpey Madden, who, in the absence of George D. Collins, is the legal adviser of Dick Williams, failed again yesterday in his at- tempt to secure bail for his client. There was plenty of property offered, but it was not of the kind desired by Clerk Hoffman. It ap- 5’“" that a well-known real-cstate man on fontgomery street was willing to place at Mr. Hoffman’s disposal twelve 25-foot lots in the Allendale tract, near Oakland, but it devel- oped that & heavy mortgage rests on the prop- erty. Another gentlem'an, who seemed anxious to become a bondsmun, offered as security 125 acres of EI Dorado Couuty timber land. He was informed that the Government was anx- ious to dispose of several hundred thousand acres of the same kind of land at the nominal figure of §1 25 per acre. Mr. Madden 18 not at all discouraged over these repeated failures, but says that he will surely find acceprable bondsmen to-day. ————— Turned On the Gas. Richard Pringle, & marine fireman, was found dead in his room, 642 Folsom street, yesterday morning. The gas was turned on in full force, though this is thought to have been the resulv of accident. Pringle had been drinking heavily for several days and Thurs day night was very much intoxicated. It is believed that he turned the gas off and then, in his drunken stupor, turned it on again. The body was removed to the Morgue, REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS. 3 Louis :[flfl JBIE!IT Frledlum‘l‘%r E T. P. S. Brown, ot on = line of s street, 1 of Devisadero, ¥ 27:6 by § 112:6: 10, o Eliza B.
