Apparently she thinks an editor’s appe- tite something to be appeased by a can- died violet and a sip of dew. To pre- scribe what another shall eat is a plece of arrogance anyhow, but it reaches the superlative when faithful adher- ence to the prescription would result in death by starvation. I would counsel Mrs. Rorer to permit the editor to poke into his face such articles of food as to his darkened understanding appear agreeable. If she belleves in the Bant- ing system she might as well come right out and say so. . P Aspirants for office who surrender to the fad of curtaining the heavens with banners and bulging the pocket of the small boy with cards may not know that they are wasting the money. This brief paragraph is to tell them. These candidates might as well go out to the Golden Gate and there inscribe in the waters of the Pacific their names and their ambitions. They might as well write upon & bank of fog an appeal to the voter. The banner never won the vote of a man having sense enough to mark a cross on a ballot. It is a nuis- ance, not pleasing to the eye, not in any respect efficacious, and it should be eliminated from the political battle. . An exchange, noting in this column the contention that “The United States” are plural, quotes from the New York Sun the following: “The United States are the only important country which has only one flag for all purposes.” This quotation is thrown in with evident intent to complicate the issue, but has no such effect. It plain- ly accepts the term as plural, and con- fusion arises only because a singular noun and verb follow. Analogous sen- tences are of such common use that they do not strike the judgment as in any manner unusual. For instance, ten companies are a regiment, 100 men are a company. These statements, while possibly susceptible of being ex- pressed in more pleasing form, are cor- rect. ¢ o f ‘William Betz has issued a circular and sent a copy to this office. ~He should not do such things. Incident- ally I notice that he is a window cleaner. Possibly he is a good one, and if so should stick to that business. » s s Theories concerning the possibility of attaining to great age are about as nu- merous as the extremely aged.

By HENRY JAMES. 9 8 R L LR R R R E L E R L R in the weed, the vegetarian makes out a strong case, and so does the other an- cient person who does not care for veg- etables, but wants meat three times a day, and prefers it rare. Then triumph- ant over all arises the antique soak, who has been drunk for threescore years, who has chewed and smoked since boyhood, and has eaten whatever might be set before him, and often gone hungry when nothing was set. I do not believe there is any rule by which old age may with anything akin to cer- tainty be reached. Whether acknowl- edging the fact or not, we are all to an extent fatalists. Of two people born under apparently similar conditions, one dies in infancy; another in his ninety-ninth year i{s telling great- grandchildren how he happened to be preserved. Doubtless he speaks in good faith, but he doesn’t know anything about it. g Murderer Clark was hanged at $an Quentin Friday, and according to his own ideas, expressed the day before, is now in heaven. *“I know,” he had said, “that the gates will open for me.” I hope Clark was mistaken. My idea of heaven has always been that good peo- Ple were to have the joy of going there. If such degenerates as Clark are to be welcomed I say in all reverence that I want to go somewhere else. The mur- der of which Clark was gullty was one of the most appalling. He killed & brother so as to have undisputed pos- session of the brother’s wife, his vic- tim having ventured mildly to dispute the claim which had been of long standing. To emphasize the iniquity of his unnatural soul Clark was ex- tremely plous. He was one of the fel- lows who hallelujah loudly and implore the rest of mankind to turn from the errors of their ways and be like them. It happened thaft I had to visit him in his cell a few days after the crime. He had a Bible in his hand. Immediately he began to question as to my spiritual welfare., ‘“You must have the love of the Lord in your heart,” he said. “Did you have any of it when you shot your brother because you de- sired his wife?”” I made bold to inquire when he had solicited me to be con- verted from the world. Clark then quoted some irrelevant Scripture. I knew the man was a liar and an assas- sin, and all his maudlin mouthing later, after his guilt had been established, tended to make a healthy mind suffer pangs of disgust. = The only feature more sickening than the Clark beast was furnished by the misguided phi- lanthropists who went to see him, took him by the hand, prayed and sang with him and promised to meet him inthece- lestial home for which he had secured through passage. I think such people bring upon the cause of religion a re- proach not second to that brought by the psalm-shouting slayer himself. For Clark to have expressed penitence would have been seemly, although a man who declares the happlest moment of his life will be when he stands on the gallows is not penitent. He is, rather, inclined to glory in his deed, and no wonder, since by reason of it he is taught by enthuslasts that the hands of God_ will be outstretched to | may be better expressed by a picture shameful death is his rightful portion he ought to be left to settle with his Creator, and not coddled into the belief that he is the narticular stamp of spir- itual essence for which angels are pin- ing. While a free man Clark was a hypocrite; he kept up his pretense in prison and on the scaffold. Perhaps shortly after the fall of the trap he realized that fooling was at an end. But the philanthropists still unhanged will flock to the next atrocious freak of criminality to comfort and to soothe. They should either be forbidden to enter the penitentiary, or, having entered, forbidden to depart. . The cartoon is an important factor in a political campaign. Often a truth . than by words. Yet the cartoon which drags into ridicule men who are not seeking office, who are not guilty of other offense, is a mistake. It annoys the victim, but it harms the perpetra- tor. I have in mind some of the coarse and inexcusable work of Daven- port, wherein every stroke is a libel. Locally the same method is to a cer- tain extent in vogue. There is a habit of portraying Attorney Herrin as a re- pulsive bird of prey, a cross apparent- ly between the buzzard and the eagle. 1 have never been able to find any ex- cuse for this. Mr. Herrin is the legal director of large interests, among them the Southern Pacificc I understand that he attends to his business tq the satisfaction of his employers, that he deports himself as a gentleman, that the insults the artist lavishes upon him hurt him only because they distress the members of his family. No blame is to be attached to the artist. He does his work at the order of the managing editor, and people who know the record of this’ managing editor would not be surprised at any act of his, unless the act savored of decency. Then they would ascribe it to accident. e SeT e . I thank the friends, to me unknown personally, who have taken the trouble to send in commendations of the mat- ter appearing in this column last week in relation to corruption in politics. Perhtips the remarks here recorded had no effect, but they developed the cer- tainty that the sentiment they ex- pressed is widely entertained. It seems to me the time is not far distant when a politician will be required to be hon- est, and a broken political promise stamp the giver thereof as a liar the same as though it had related to a busi- ness transaction. The public is get- ting tired of being fooled. Not only have the disreputables and vagrants the prospect of being crowded out of politics, wherein it is their custom to win a precarious living, but the re- spectable, who use them, are also com« ing under the ban. Committees of one hundred, organized for spoil and the working of a boss’ will, can never again in this town make a pretense of be- ing the embodiment of purity. No Mayor dictating the nomination of the members of two boards can, after the boards have proved to be a dual set of incompetent rascals, be accorded the privilege of repeating the opera- tion. I think the voting population is waking up.- i s If there happened.to be occaslon for it I would be glad to say something to accentuate the certainty that Barcley Henley will be defeated. It seems to me the man has an unspeakable nerve to ask office at the hands of the citi- zens from whose beloved land he fled in its time of peril. It appears that he is not even a citizen himself, gnd if he were he is not the right rt. Once a renegade American, he has add- eign missions. People who have money have a right to give it away to whom they choose, but, personally, I hate to see it wasted in this fashion. The visi- ble effect of foreign missions is to give a number of ardent people a job, to stir up among the heathen a spirit of discontent, to lay the foundation for in- ternational disturbance. Occasionally the missionaries marry so judiciously and multiply so rapidly that in time they rise up and possess the land they | went to redeem. In such instances, of course, the money is well invested. I do not wish to be understood as speak- ing lightly of worthy men and women who go afar in the sincere hope of bet- tering the condition of the cannibal and the fire god's followers. It merely strikes me as pitiful that they should waste their lives in a vain endeavor. Let the heathen alone until they get in the way of civilization, which will crowd them into the junele and off the earth. We are not responsible for them. If good were accomplished by appealing to them with the melancholy tract and the illuminated text, allright. When people in churcn get so excited that they snatch off their gewgaws and throw them into the contribution plate they ought to remember the worthy near home, even to the exclusion of the naked and alluring savage. They ought to think of the thousands kept from school by the necessity of earn- ing bread, the pallid workers of the sweat shops, the honest tramps whose hands can find nothing to do. Phey ought to think of the sick, the lowly, the illiterate, the helpless of thelr own land. They might profitaly turn their minds to the traps set for the young, the crowded quarters where vice and disease and penury breed. Then, when misery has been banished, when there is evePywhere in this fair domain peace and happiness, when hunger no longer cries for a loaf, and the babe of pov- erty has ceased to nurse at a fount run dry, will be time to think of the heathen. As a matter of fact, we are in some respects worse than the so- called heathen now, for we cannot plead ignorance. We murder and steal and slander, bear false witness. If we err and are undetected we are bitter in denouncing the one who errs and is caught. We observe another on the way to the devil and give him a kick. We have reached a stage where wealth opens every door and the rich scoun- drel is received in the household where knowledge of his character has pre- ceded him. In all barbaric rite there is nothing more brutal than the methods of money getting, the heart- lessness with which competitors are crushed, mortgages foreclosed, the or- phan and widow turned into the street. Our statesmen are elected not for their worth, but according to their willing- ness to 'pay the price. They do not legislate for the common good. They father shameless jobs. We have a great war, and incompetency has an Alger to send it to the front and the pay chest. We bicker and fight, per- mit yellow journals to exist. The. hol‘): men of the pulpit quarrel, hear a “ call couple who exchange vows:. If they are of age, interference is impertinent, and even a suggestion is indelicate. Jay Gould was capable of making money, employed criminal methods in making it, and had, possibly, a right to dictate its disposal. But Jay has been dead so long that his hand of dust can- not be regarded, logically, as gripping the gold he heaped up. Considering him an angel now, black or white, the time has passed when he should have a grip ongaffairs mundane. He has had his little whirl, and ought to let go. ————— Booked for Murder. Patrick J. Keenan, alias Patsy Hogan, ex-pugilist, was yesterday taken from the Recelving Hospital to the City Prison in the patrol wafion. where a charge of mur- der was booked against him. He was then driven back to the hospital, as he is suffering from pulmonary troubles. His wounds have completely healed and by to-morrow he will occupy a cell in the prison.
