W tone of the papers read and of the discussiofis that closed how far agriculture has been simple pursuit of tilling the soil Within me of a has ed in the cultivation of farms and orchards.

Something of the same extraordinary development has shown the profession of school- teaching by the discussions ‘during the educa- tional convention at Los Angeles. School-teaching is no longer a simple task of drilling children in read- of cattle-raising. The agri- been in ing, writing and arithmetic, with a little geography | of the most complex agriculture, the new It has become one of professions. Like the new tcaching is still very largely experimental. It is broadening in every direction, and will doubtless eventually include the upbuilding of the whole nature of the youth of the land, mental,"moral and physical. I¢ is at this time difficult to fix the bounds of the activities of the school-teacher. Wherever the limit may be placed it will be found that hundreds of enter- pricing teachers have passed beyond it. The grammar schools press upon the high schools and academies, while these in turn crowd upon the colleges and the universities. Instruction in a hundred things not dreamed of by the teachers of fifty years ago is now found even in the country schools, and still the move- ment goes on. The advance of the profession has been handi- capped to a considerable extent by the interference of politics through school boards. Despite the jealous watchfulness of the people to prevent the schools from falling to the politicians as a part of the spoils of office, many members of school boards have been better fitted to run a primary election than a primary school. With all that handicap, however, the progress and improvement in methods of teach- ing, a® well as the increase in the number of objects to which teaching is directed, have been among the miracles of human accomplishment in this marvelous century. The Los Angeles convention represents the flower of the best teaching body in the world. Cer- tain advantdges may be possessed by the more thor- opghly drilled teachers of Germany and other Euro- pean lands over our own, but, taken as a whole and judged by the standard of all that teaching ought to be, there is no foreign land where the profession of pedagogy has been raised to so high a level or illu- mined by such able and faithful leaders as in the United States. Wheresoever our teachers assemble they are greeted with honor, and all California joins with Los Angeles in welcoming the thousands now with us, thrown in. | which the Board of Health officially originated. | which it is adapted. | Pre | and cash BACTERIOLOGICAL VERSY.

At all events the conspir- cy of the two Japanese sailors who deliberately com- mitted suicide near the Golden Gate in order to fur- | nish the bacteriologist of the Board of Health with scientific “cultures” of bubonic bacilli taken from their swollen glands completely failed. The principal cause for their failure undoubtedly was that neither of them had the plague. The Call is inclined to stand by its original theory | d to treat the entire bacteriological investigation as a study of the Huntington phenomena, working through Dan Burns and Governor Gage, out of If the “cultures” were followed by thorough fumigation | the heavenly twing and their close associates may be | for once in a condition to enjoy an-interval ‘of com-| paratively innocent rest.

URING the discussion on the assessment of banks held by the Supervisors sitting as a Board of Equalization on Tuesday a new il- ! lustration was given of the impudence with which the Wells-Fargo Company, through its president, John J. Valentine, carries on the practice of tax shirking. corporation evades State taxes on as it It shows that the its banking business almost cvades Federal taxes upon its express business, and dent Valentine has so much contempt for the public he hardly cares to conceal the fact. ment concerning the difficulty of making ments upon some of the banks of the c cles in the way of compelling them to pay their due share of the public burdens, Assessor Dodge said: “Wells-Fargo’s president only laughed at us, and he told me that he could come in here next a cent in taxes unless he wanted to, and I guess he is pretty near right. They simply unload their taxable holdings among their branches and we cannot touch them. All that we can assess them on here is real estate to the tune of $2,172,047 which they have notified amounts to as completely Ina s accurate asse: year and not p us $496.009.” The corporation that thus boasts of ability to shirk all taxes is one of the richest in America and does an | enormous business in this city. It has its headquar- | ters here, and derives most of its profits from the in- | dustry that is carried.on here, although it maintains | | branches in New York and Portland. It admits prop- | erty valued at more than $10,000,000, which it claims is exempt from taxation.

The offenses of in- | | here, and therefore the first movement to check them | has had its origin there. - It will be years, of course, before any sufficient remedy can be provided for the tax-shirking that is cone in that way. In the meantime each State and municipality must do the best it can to compel tte tich tax-shirkers to pay at least a part of what is due | from them in support of the Government which pro- tects their property and their persons. The Super- visors should see to it that since Wells-Fargo has shirked all of the war tax upon its express company it shall at least be made to pay its State and county taxes to the full extent of what is due. MAKE WAY FOR THE AUTOMOBILE. Y the decision of Judge Gibbons of Chicago that the ordinance passed by the Park Com- B missioners of that city prohibiting the use of automobiles in the parks and along the boulevards is clear way for the new vehicle, despite the antagonism which has been manifest in some quarters. According to Judge Gibbons the Park Commis- sioners of Chicago have, under the laws of Illinois, no right to prohibit the automobile by name any right, and it is its imperative duty, to prohibit any vehicle, whether bicycle, horse, carriage or automo- bile, to proceed within the pasks or along the boule- vards at a rate of speed which endangers the safety of the public. By that decision the automobile is made as avail- able for general use in Chicago as any other vehicle. | The employment of it for pleasure or for business is | to be regulated as is that of other vehicles, but is not to be prohibited. In addition to declaring the law of the case Judge Gibbons went on to point out that there is no reason why there should be any discrimination against the new invention. He is quoted as saying it is “a mat- ter of common observation and scientific knowledge that there is less danger in propelling an automobile than there is in driving a horse and buggy,” and he added: “The automobile has conié to remain with us and we welcome it as a great improvement over | | solent corporations are far greater in the East than | void, the first step has been taken toward opening a| more than the bicycle or the dogcart, but it -has the | Nevertheless it is probably as nearly correct as | more intricate than the bubonic plague itself. | CONTRO- | horse cars and ordinal-'y street cars. The time is not far distant when no horse car, trolley car or cable will be permitted to occupy any -of our business streets. They have served their purpose. They should be either above or below the surface of our streets.” There is nothing of exaggeration in the statement of Judge Gibbons. Hardly a week passes without bringing reports of some new accomplishment by the self-propelling carriage. In France it has just been demonstrated that by an automobile driven by elec- tricity it is possible to make a trip fron Paris to Rouen without recharging the storage battery. The journey occupied seven hours and fifteen minutes, and the supply of electricity was not exhausted at the end. It appears, therefore, that electric automobiles can at the present time be worked at a high rate of speed for eight hours, the normal hours of a labor day, without losing time in changing or recharging batteries. : Of the superiority of the automobile for general street traffic there canbe no doubt. Postmaster Dorr of Buffalo has recently tested the machine in collect- ing mail, and the results were surprisingly. good. In the first test mail was collected from forty boxes on a route eighteen miles long in one hour and thirty min- utes. “To cover the same route with a horse wagon required more than three hours. A trial was made on another route the next morning, when mail was collected from sixsy-three boxes in one hour and fifty minutes. The time required for a horse wagon to cover this route is three hours and five minutes. Still another test was made on July 4 on another route fifteen miles in length, with fifty-four boxes, and collections were all made in ninety minutes. A vehicle which saves so-much of labor and of time is bound to make its way.

ENRY J. CROCKER'S recent offer to enter H into contracts with the grape-growers of the State to purchase all standard varieties of grapes at $14 a ton has at least had the effect of arousing the grape-growers and the winemakers to a renewed consideration of the problems which affect their industry. It has, therefore, served a good pur- pose, even if it do not result in an agreement between Mr. Crocker and a sufficient- number of the growers to enable him to control the market and maintain the price he has offered. In the meantime it is worth noting that the depres- sion in the wine industry appears to be peculiar to this~ State. In a recent letter to the New | York Times reviewing the American wine trade generally L. J. Vance, editor of the American Wine Press, says it would be hard to match the condition of the California wine trade in that of any other industry. “At one time,” he says, “it looked as’if the wine-growers of California had laid the foundations of a most prosperous and profit- able industry. With an opportunity to supply and control (as they should supply and control) the mar- + kets of this country, and successfully displace foreign wines, the California producers failed to grasp their chance. With every incentive to work together to a common end, growers and dealers have pulled apart. Thus, instead of making money, most of the people in the California wine trade have, for the last few years, either made no money or actually lost money.” A very different condition prevails in the wine in- dustry of other parts of the Union, according to Mr. Vance, who says: “In the wine-growing districts of the East—in the South, in New York and in Ohio— there has been no such spirit and methods as entered into the California industry. The most prosperous wine cellars in the country are in the Eastern States. On this account, perhaps, Eastern wines and Eastern champagnes are more widely and favorably known by advertising than the California brands. While the California establishments were losing, or not making money, the Eastern cellars have-mostly made money. While the Californians were selling their wines at a nominal rate, the Easterners have often been able to get double that rate for their goods. Thus, while the wine production of California has been and is about five times that of the Eastern States, yet the latter brings by far the most money. of the champagnes made in the East, amounting last year to about 80,000 cases, must have brought as much money as all the wine sold in California last year.” Such statements, coming from such an authority as that of the editor of the American Wine Press, ought to have the effect of impressing upon the wine grape | growers and the winemakers of California the folly of further antagonism and strife. If the wine industry of the East is profitable, that of this State, with its splendid advantages for the cultivation of vineyards and the production of wine, ought to be highly lucra- tive. The controversy is one in which outsiders cannot well interfere. It must be settled by the parties at interest themselves. There appears to be nothing in the circumstances of the market to depress the indus- try. The outlook, aceording to Mr. Vance, is promis- ing. He says: “There is certainly a better feeling in the American wine trade to-day than for many years. This is largely due to the encouragement which our winemakers are getting from our wine- drinkers. The old notion that a wine to be good must be imported is being abandoned, because a num- ber of American wine-cellars are producing still and sparkling wines admitted by competent judges to equal in every essential the imported kinds.” Everything in the situation is therefore encourag- ing, or at least appears so when seen from an Eastern point of view. There may then be some foundation for holding that if the California wine industry do not enjoy prosperity it will be largely the fault of the men who control it. The Paris has been safely beached in Falmouth harbor through the skill and energy of the German wrecking company that undertook the task. Super- intendent Aisbet, in explaining the difficulties of the work to the Associated Press, gave evidence of won- derment at the currents which he found swirling in the vicinity of the stranding. If he had read Wednes- day’s Call he would not have been so much surprised at his experience; the phenomena were explained in a manner which is usual with The Call—that of ac- curacy. In speaking a welcome to the delegates of the Na- tional Educational Association Governor Gage di- lated glowingly upon the fertile fields and fruitful orchards of the State; but he was eloquently silent in reference to the sheep ranches. There are some subjects that even his Excellency declines to discuss. San Franciscans desire so keenly to make the Ore- gon boys feel, perfectly at home that some of them have been praying for a good old Portland rain. Kansas City has offered $50,000 for the next Demo- cratic National Convention. At that rate, what would it offer for the Jeffries-Sharkey fight? And now Liberia wants the protection of the United States. We do amount to something after all.
