There was never yet a political cam- into both sides of which unde- sirable elements did not creep. This circumstance gives to the ‘enemy a Undoubtedly there are people supporting the ticket who are not blossoms of inno- cence. But the great mass who op- pose Phelan represent the best elements There does not appear any good reason why Phelan should be regarded as supreme. He is of com- mon clay. My chief grievance against him is not that he should have consti- tuted himself a boss, not that he should have hefted the city’s money, not that he is an aristocrat which to base his pride. It is that he should have selected A. M. Lawrence | as his chief advisor, and that the Ex- aminer, one of the foulest sheets ever permitted to be published, should be his especial organ. I do not say this Examiner because of any per- sonal feeling, but because it seems to me, as a working newspaper man, a shame that there should be a paper so devoid of honor. It is one of the few | which would rather publish a lie than | the truth. A knowledge of its charac- | ter must tend to give to the public an | impression that newspaper men are liars and blackguards, which they are not. This is obviously unfair to writ- ers whom ability or ill luck has drawn into daily journalism. There are many men on the Examiner whom, personal- ly, I esteem. They are my friends, and I am glad of their friendship. But an institution overshadowed by Law- rence must submit to the suspicion of being rotten. It is a strange circum. stance that men of brains sink their personalities and bend their mental powers to carrying out the will of a Hearst, transmitted through such a creature. But Phelan, hoping for of- fice, eager for undeserved honors, is willing to pour his confidences into the ear of Lawrence and abide by the de- cision. This fact alone, without the recoré of Phelan's Boards of Supervis- ors and Education, his committee of one hundred, his Widber, would destroy my faith in him. He does not deserve re-election, and I do not believe he will receive it. . = Ina Coolbrith is a talented woman with the rare gift of song.

Her genius, for it is nothing less, has been recognized in London, a recent number of The Outlook devoting to her and | her work more than a page. The kind- ly English critic quotes from her free- ly to show that she loves the fair land where is her home, and yet he ex- presses surprise that she is either un- known or unappreciated in her native country. The fact that she belongs to California seems to weigh against her, although what this prejudice really ac- complishes is to show that the people of the United States are in sentiment narrow, and in their store of literary information but meagrely equipped. I i think the blame for this can be partly | fixed. That pestiferous Atherton wo- | man, with no more soul than a turnip, devold of heart, falsely cynical, brazen- 1y blase, is enough to prejudice a conti- nent against any source from which she may emanate. She is a Califor- nian, and all others must come under the ban she creates. Miss Coolbrith’s verse is pure and sweet. I refrain from quoting much of it, because it is too good to be shown in fragments, yet here is one gem selected of many, and in itself incomplete: When the grass shall cover me, Head to foot where I am lying, When not any wind that blows, Summer blooms nor winter snows Shall awake me to your sighing, Close above me as you pass You will say: How kind she was, You will say: How true she was, When the grass grows over me. Miss Coolbrith, so far as has been my privilege .to observe, does not at- tempt herofcs. - She is content with melody and lilt, with sentiment, ten- derness, an appeal to the emotions. Could anything be more beautiful than this? And the love my heart would speak 1 will fold in the lily's rim That the lips of the blossoms, more pure and meek, May offer it up to him. California has a right to be proud of Ina Coolbrith. It is too busy now. Some time it will awaken from its dreams of gold and gain and conquest to understand that here was one who had been touched with the sacred fire. It does not realize this yet. It is too practical, too busy in the counting of useful dollars. Besides all this, there is a peculiar spirit manifest here, and assuming the outward form of jeal- ousy. Let a Californian be successful and the shafts designed to wound will be hurled by those who had been his fellow citizens. Bierce and Morrow are great only away from home. enlargéd upo: rule prevails in politics. no sooner achieves eminence than he becomes a target. From this spirit | Miss Coolbrith will not escape. hope is in recognition afar, being realized. know that her worth is being noted and hope for her a measure of success so full that those failing to contribute to it may learn ultimately that they | were in error, and be ashamed. o el A local doctor of repute says it is possible to cure the whisky habit by in- Jecting into the veins of the toper a quantity of blood from a horse. The | horse has first to be put through an alcoholic course, designed to make of it an equine soak. In other words, a horse must be sacrificed in the endeavor to rescue a man, and all the time there | is the possibility that the horse is of | more value than the man. I do not | have much sympathy for the drunkard, | and instead of resorting to artificial| means to brace him up, would be in- | clined to encourage him to drink him- self off the earth and make room for | somebody with less appetite and more | | brains. . The editor of the Pasadena News | modestly confesses to being the home- liest man in the town. There are a few of us here who claim a similar dis- tinction as to San Francisco. - A. J. Waterhouse is one of a number and the humble writer of these lines 1s will- ing to bet on a first prize for himself. As fellow journalists, we ask the Pasa- dena beauty to keep away from the city until the matter has been decided. If he doesn’t Waterhouse will be sent to Pasadena to enter into competition there. According to the News of San Pedro, a certain Justice of the Peace was re- cently drunk while on the bench. Rightly enough, the News regards such conduct as reprehensible. A spectacu- lar inebriate perched uncertainly on the woolsack tends to bring into discredit the administrative mechanism of the law. It seems, however, that the worst offending of the official was not in getting loaded, but in denying it un- der oath. I leave to the indignant editor the task of setting forth the heinousness of the crime, deeming his words more fitting than any others now at hand. The following is merely an excerpt, but it is fuller of character than the Justice was of brew: * * = “When he raised his right hand thus to shock the whole fabric of our civili- zation by willful, deliberate, cola- blooded perjury.” We heard the fab- ric rip up this way, but ascribed it to the reckless manner in which Phelan had hurled a hunk of purity. . .

The most distressing ailment is the one in fancy, as the the real article. . Part of good citizenship is manifest in abiding by the law. Yet, as the people enact the laws, there are times when they seem in duty bound to sus- pend them. There is no probability that San Francisco will ever be the scene of another lynching. In theory such an episode would be without ex- cuse, and would constitute a lasting disgrace. Perhaps this is true. .How- ever, my personal wish would be to see the next murderer who adds to the long | record of crime here swing from a lamp post without having thirty sec- onds in which to insult divine mercy with a prayer. There seems to be a belief that a girl in refusing to marry some low-browed scoundrel thereby commits a capital offense, and that the scoundrel becomes the executioner. I do not hesitate to say this belief is tinged of error. who kills his wife, leaving his children motherless and unprotected, be put to better use than as a terrible example. It seems too bad to waste the time of the courts in establishing the guilt of men concerning whose guilt there is no doubt. Within the last few days two women have been slain under the circumstances outlined. In neither in- stance was there a shadow of mitiga- tion, and the bloody handed wretches are not fit to live. There were several attempts of a similar nature. Men so degraded as to butcher women are be- | yond possible reform. The law can do nothing for them but kill them and get | them out of the way. But the law is so deliberate, so tender of the assassin, so full of quips and delay, that it tries the patience more severely than it does the prisoner at the bar. .l e ‘With the promptness expected after the death of a millionaire, the battle for the fortune left by Adolph Sutro has begun. If Mrs. Kluge is entitled to anything I hope she may get it. This does not discourage a belief that the average “widow’ bobbing up from obscurity to weep at the tomb of the deceased, wiping her eye with one hand and reaching for his gold with the other, is a most annoying type of fraud. Either she has no claim grow- ing out of former association, or if such association ever existed, it left her a good way ahead of the game. The Craven reach toward the Fair estate is fresh in the public memory. Per- haps Mrs. Craven is an angel of light. It may be that she would shudder at the thought of putting up a job and faint in the presence of a forged docu- ment. I only know what was pub- lished of the testimony, the remarks of the lawyers, and while the matter is Neither can the man | none of my concern it strikes me as strange that Mrs. Craven has never been arrested. This view is not prompted by any sympathy with the Fairs, but -springs from a prejudice against robbery. As a simple justice, I would rather see the money go to a lot of honest attorneys than to a fraud- ulent claimant. I hope Mrs. Kluge will not take offense. There is also the possibility that she, too, ' may be an an- g€l of light. Anyhow the cause will not be tried in this column and noth- ing said here can have influence on the legal trial, as no man intelligent enough to read these remarks will bs accepted for jury dut: ADVERTISEMENTS. % THE CREDIT HOUSE" Six Stories High .A handy piece of furni- ture — Tobourette in oak or mahogany finish, clover leaf design 5¢ Dainty parlor or reception chair, mo- hogany finish, upholstered in fancy velours, (All parlor furniture is mo- hogany now-a-days)...
