LICENSING CRIME FOR COIN. I ‘ N afternoon paper yesterday announced that a .majority of the Board of Supervisors are in favor of granting a license for a rencwal of racetrack gambling. It said: “If the opinions ex- pressed by individual members of the Board of Su- pervisors count for anything, no member of ‘lhe sporting fraternity need pass a single s!eeplessl night pondering over the possibilities of the reopening o Ingleside. It is as certain as the rising of the sun, or the going down of the same.” | It then added that the Supervisors demand 9( the | gamblers the payment of a license tax amounting to $100 a day to the city treasury, the argument being | that the sum is needed on account of the deficiency in | the municipal finances. One gentleman is quoted as | saying, “We are almost compelled to do evil that good | may come of it,” and it is asserted that the same view iis taken by others. On that showing the people of San Francisco will | have something to say concerning both the policy and the principle of the proposed action. The gamblers can well afford to pay $100 a day for the privilege of | running their nefarious trade at Ingleside, for their ill- | gotten profits would be enormous; but what benefit | would that amount of money be to the city? Forty | days’ racing at $100 a day would give a revenue of only $4000. How far will that sum go in making up the deficiency in the treasury? For how long a time | could the streets be lighted with that amount of money? If we are to license gambling for the purpose of raising a municipal revenue, we shall have to enter upon it in a wholesale way. Why should the Super- | visors restrict their favors to Eastern gamblers, or | those at the racetracks, when more money could be obtained by licensing those downtown? There are many men who will pay $100 a day for permission to | run a roulette game. that amount for permit for a faro game. Licensed | poolrooms downtown would bring in many an addi- tional $100 a day. A pool-selling room for women ex- | clusively would bring in another $100. If we are to permit crime for coin, it will be a poor policy to limit the license to the Eastern sports and deny it to the | local gamblers. | The principle of the issue is not one to be argued | about. It is vicious and villainous under every aspect. A | community which for the sake of providing itself with | a revenue deliberately licenses a trade that corrupts | men, degrades women, ruins youth, wrecks families | and directly encourages crime of every degree, from | petty theft to murder and suicide. is unfit to be en- trusted with self-government Ii this license be | granted it will be the blackest blot that could ever dis- grace the record of the city, and bitterly and griev- | y would many a family pay for it. In Berkeley when some of the municipal authori- ties hesitated to close saloons because they wished the { revenues which are derived from saloon licensss, | scme of the citizens promptly guaranteed the money saloons might be closed. If San such dire need of $4000 as to afford excuse for licensing the iniquity of racetrack gambling, the merchants would come forth here, as in Berkeley, to guarantee the fund rather than submit the city to the dishonor of such a policy. nally it is to be noted that the plan is as futile as If forty days’ gambling be granted for $4000, there will be as a result of that moral degrada- tion such an increase of crime that more than $4000 | will have to be expended for the trial and conviction of the guilty. We shall, in fact, bring suffering upon | the innocent, temptation to the weak, and encourage the vicious to crime, for less than nothing. There can be no profit in licensing gambling. The toleration of crime for the sake of coin can end in nothing but a curse to all Let the Supervisors examine the records of the Police Courts and the Morgue, and compare those of the days when track gambling was permitted at Ingle- side with those since, and see what track gambling means. Tt is a subject they should study in aorder to learn what it is they are asked to license. | Francisco were ir even a shadow of | As the nations of old emblazoned on their battle- flags the victories of their heroes, why not, in making |a flag emblem for new San Francisco, pay a tribute to his Honor the Mayor?

COMMERCIAL MUSEUM PLANS. { ROM the report submitted to the promotion F:commmee of the commercial museum by the subcommittee on plan of organization good rea- sons may be drawn for sanguine hopes of the success of the project. The plan suggested for the govern- ment of the museum, when established, is excellent, and the programme of action outlined for immediate work promises good results. ! According to the suggestions of the report the in- stitution is to be known as the Pacific Commercial Museum; its objects are to gather and to give to its members information that will assist in developing commerce with foreign countries, and particularly all countries in and around the Pacific Ocean; also to establish a connection with the Philadelphia Com- { mercial Museum, and other like institutions, by which information may be obtained from the rest of the world which would be of advantage to the pro- | ducers, manufacturers and merchants who may be members of the institution. | For immediate work it is recommended there shall | as soon as possible be appointed a finance committee of sixty prominent citizens, to which all the members of the promotion committee shall be added. Tt is the duty of this committee to make a thorough canvass of the States of the Pacific Coast, and receive donations and subscriptions from all steamship companies, rail- roads, banks and other corporations, as well as from capitalists, merchants, manufacturers, real estate own- ers and all others interested in the development of our commerce. The committee is furthermore to canvass for members of the museum and to collect from each subscriber his initiation fee. There will be of course differences of opinion as | tc the details of the plan of administration, but those Iare minor matters and can be left for adjustment hereafter. The, main object now is to get the mu- seum established. It is not a small undertaking, and a good deal of money will have to be forthcoming. Fortunately the importance of the issue is well un- | derstood by the progressive men of the coast, and an | elaborate preliminary campaign of education will | hardly be necessary. The enterprise appeals to the personal interests as well as to the pubiic spirit of the merchants, manufacturers and producers of the | country, and it is reasonable to expect them to give it |a prompt and earnest support. Aiter a great deal of wrangling, misunderstanding and hard words, Germany and the United States khave at last struck an opinion of common accord. Germany deesn't want any of our embalmed beef, and neither do we. There are others who will pay | PINHEAD MANAGEMENT. HE patrons of the Sunset Telephone and Tele- graph Company in Berkeley,” Alameda and ; Oakland are just now being subjected to loss, inconvenience and vexation as the result of pin- head management of the affairs of that corporation. It undertook to provide telephone facilities for a population of about 100,000. It put up lines, using private buildings, ornamental trees and other things not belonging to it to string and stretch its wires. It then provided a numbered system for the 'phones, with certain prefixes, as “blue,” “red,” “black,” “main,” and So on, for identification of the lines. After this system has been long in operation, people have become accustomed to it, and it has the con- venience that comes from permanence and habit, and aiter hundreds of business men have their cards and stationery printed with their telephone number and its identifying prefix, suddenly, and without notice, the whole prefix system is radically changed, substi- tuting prefixes that have no meaning, are difficult to remember and have no element of fitness+ or con- venience. As a result thousands of dollars’ worth of cards and stationery, business and private, are made useless, wasted and lost, and the use of telephones is made complex, vexatious and annoying. A corporation which enjoys a monopoly, exacts a high rent for the use of its convenience, and under- takes to supply one that has become a necessity of individual and commercial life, can justify its monopoly only by intelligent management and a policy that is at one with the interests of its patrons. All these principles are violated by the pinhead man- agement of the Sunset. Knowing in advance the ter- ritory it had to cover, the radiation of its principal lines, their length and all other facts concerning thc system, it would have required only some brains and some respect for the rights of the public to have mapped out its system of designations, and arranged its prefixes, once for all, so that no change would have been needed. Then when its patrons were ac- customed to the arrangement all might have enjoyed the use of the telephones, with no more than the un- avoidable inconvenience of waiting for the disengage- ment of a line, or the avoidable vexation caused by the exhaustion of the overworked and underpaid girls |in the central office. The corporation has chosen to add the avoidable to the unavoidable exasperation incident to the use of its wires and instruments, and on top of this has piled a very large loss involved in obsoleting the pre- fixes on the printed stationery of its customers. This means also a current loss of business. Patrons who order by telephone are for a time led astray, cannot find the store they want to reach by wire, and in im- patience and haste get to any one they can reach, This burden, added to nearly similar erratic changes in the running of street cars in Oakland and Ala- meda, adds an inconvenience to life and business on that side of the bay which is seriously reflected in harm to large interests, to progress, to access of popu- lation, and to all those things which make for the | prosperity of a community. As we have said, it'is done without notice. ~Had the corporation been mindful of anything but the col- lection of its own rents and nickels it would have given a notice of intended change long enough in ad- vance to have permitted the use of business and pri- vate stationery already printed, so that there would have been no loss. This would have somewhat softened the idiocy of the management in its conse- quences to the victims. But there is no such disposi- tion nor forethought shown, and monopoly presents itself in the most swinish form, regardless of the harm dcne and the inconvemience inflicted. An ex-convict who has served the State in stripes | for bribing juries resented his ejection the other day from a local courtroom. He insisted that his word is as good as that of anybody else. While he is cer- tainly entitled to his opinion there is an emphatic objection to his exercise of his judgment in our courts. C relief of Kimberley at the expense of great treasure and the life of many.a British-soldier, has taken occasion at a meeting of the De Beers Company to speak out of the fullness of his heart and exult in the victory. Coming from such a man at such a time, the speech was certain to be widely re- ported, and Rhodes must have known when he ut- tered it that he was speaking to the world. His has been the master mind that for years past has directed British expansion in South Africa, and now in his speech there are revealed to us the thoughts of that mind and the ideals to which it is devoted. There is nothing in the speech of true grandeur of any kind, not even the grandeur of imperialism. The chief point of exultation of Rhodes is that the year's profits of the De Beers Company amount to 2,000,000 pounds sterling, and that the company owns all the diamonds wherever its charter exists. After dwelling with pride upon the wealth of the company in money and in jewels, he spoke of the strenuous defense ‘oi Kimberley by its citizens and said: our duty in preserving and protecting the greatest commercial association in the world—her Majesty’s flag.” Had an enemy said that of the banner of Great Britain it would have been everywhere regarded as an vnfair slur upbn a standard that upon many a hard fought field has been the beacon of some of the noblest of national ideals. What shall we think, then, of such a declaration made, not by a foreign satirist, but by one of the foremost Englishmen of his time? In the mind of Cecil Rhodss her Majesty’s flag is but the symbol of a commercial organization. Tt s;nnds for nothing but trade and such conquest as trade demands for its profits. It is not to advance civilization, nor to take up the white man’s burden of educating the barbarian, but solely to promote the interests of merchants and manufacturers, and es- pecially of the De Beers Company, that so many brave British youths and gallant gentlemen have gone to their death in South Africa. To such a degree of abasement under the rule of Chamberlain and Rhodes has come her Majesty’s flag¥and her nobles and her peasants are made to do the service of stock- jobbers and gold speculators as they follow to death what was of old proudly proclaimed: “The flag that braved a thousand years The battle and the breeze.” . b ] Ii is unfortunate that Mayor Phelan cannot, in his highly instructive excursion into the advertising ai- fairs of his saffron associate, ask the Southerm Pa- cific Company something about that thirty thousand dollar World's Fair advertising contract. His Honor has the delightful faculty of asking the wrong ques- tion at the right time. HER M@JESTY'S FLAG. ECIL RHODES, saved from the Boers by the The reticence which has invariably accompanied the resignation of several of Mayor Phelan’s appointees seems to indicate very clearly that his Honor’s large and interesting official family is not the happiest in San Francisco. : “We have done’ R A R R R R e e e R e o SR o S o e i o i o i b4 AROUND THE CORRIDORS ‘Will 8.

They Claim That It Is an Indirect Means to Weaken Their Well- Established Protective Societies. iy Over at the Oakland mole, where the trainmen and the engineers congregate, there may be seen at any hour of the day groups of Southern Pacific employes gath- ered around a big white chart hung con- | spicuously in the boxroom. It is the new prospectus of the Southern Pacific relief department, and traihmen, brakemen, en- gineers, conductors and mechanics are up in arms against the new. order of the company. They elaim that it is a direct biow at their brotherhood associations and ailows them no chanece but to take out poiicies in the new venture of the com-~ pany—the insurance business. The relief department plan provides for sick benerts as well as insurance money. This 1s where the shoe pinches painfuliy, for the members of the brothernoods re- ceive sick benefits from their own organi- zations. In fact, one of the reasons for | the existence of the brotherhoods is the sick beneint assurance. At present all or | the majority of the men empioyed by the Southern Faciic on (he (rauns or in the yaras pelong to one or other of the broth- ernood associations. They cialm that they cannot stana the doubie expense that | wouid resuit if they were members of potn organizations and that the company, Knowing this, has inaugurated a reliet de- partment to weaken and uitimately ae- stroy the brotherhoods. In many in- stunces, it is said, the pressure or dues wouid be too great to bear, but the train- men are wary of offending the company, fearing dispiacement if they fall to come in witn the iresh tide of members who | will soon join the relief department. “Where will our brothernoods be?" is the cry among the raliroad laborers. After a lengthy introduction, wi.ch re- cites the charitable incunation and atti- tude of the company toward its empioyes, the framers of the circular reach the business part of the programme.. The way the Southern Pacific Company pre- sents its gilded package is to disciaim any Intent to force empioyes into tne re- lief department.
