LYNCH, Collector of Internal Rev- enue, should be an object lesson and a warning to men who occupy positions of public trust and | responsibility. At a time when the national adminis- tration is on trial before the voters of the State, when interests of the most vital character to the Repub- | lican party are at stake, his affairs, as a Federal officer | who reflects the national administration of which he |is a member, have become involved in a scandal and | are made the theme of public cqndemnation. It is perhaps not surprising that the official conduct of John C. Lynch shculd throw discredit upon the | Republican party and jeopardize its success.

By implication he has made | the national administration wink at his delinquencies | as a public officer and indorse, by tolerance, his offen- | sive participation in affairs not his own.

To such associations the Government might furnish cir- culating notes, on the security of United States bonds deposited in the treasury. These notes, prepared { under the supervision of proper officers, being uni- form in appearance and security, and convertible al- ways into coin, would at once protect labor against the evils of a vicious currency and facilitate commerce | by cheap and safe exchanges.” What Lincoln recommended Bryan announces his purpose to destroy. | The national banking system, instead of being de- | stroyed, should be advanced to meet the greater needs of our larger business and population and to protect | labor against a vicious currency. | In his pretense of reverence for the teachings of | Lincoln Bryan is as great a sham as when he pre- tended a like reverence for Jefferson and Jackson. We challenge him to read Lincoln on the banks and then continue his ambuscade behind Lincoln’s fame. THE PORT COLLECTORSHIP. OR the right performance of the duties of the FCollcctor of the Port of San Francisco there is needed the abilities and the experience of a first- | rate man of business. None other can even fully un- cerstand the complex questions that arise in the office, | much less solve them with accuracy and promptness. Accordingly upon the doors of that office there might well be inscribed, “No politician need apply.” As no such inscription is there, the number of poli- ticians who are seeking the office is large. Some of | them are utterly unworthy of the office, or indeed of | any responsible office, while many are meritorious | gentlemen in many ways, but their merits are not of the kind that commend them for this particular office. Consequently, no matter how many recommendations | they may bring, or how much in the way of political service they may prove, none of them should be se- riously considered for the place. It is a business office, charged with the supervision of the interests of busi- ness men, and none but a business man should be as- signed to it. | Before making the 2ppointment to the position the President will await recommendations from the city and the State. The Senators from California will have a potent influence in determining his choice. Upon them, therefore, rests at this time a serious respon- sibility to the public. They should carefully consider the subject in all its bearings and agree upon some man who has had sufficient experience in business to enable him to enter at once upon the duties of the office with a clear understanding of their nature. It | will not be difficult fcr them to find such an official, | for the business world of California is not lacking in | able, energetic and honest men. | The selection of the right man for the position will be of immense benefit to the business interests not cnly of the city and the State but of the whole coun- try. That much is understood by the people at large. and there will be general approval if such a man be selected. | % i A suggestion of hope for the future of the Philip- pines has at last been seceived. It is said upon au- thority that no one on the islands expects William Jennings Bryan to win. —t I reports of devastation continue to come from Cape Nome we will have no reason to be surprised if some day we hear that the mining city has been blown A off the map. creatures which they have spewed into the political | e of California. Tt is natural that the expected shoul have happened. Collector John C. Lynch has been arraigned for gross neglect in the conduct of his office. He is charged with vicious carelessness uvnbusinesslike methods and lapses which the most charitably inclined insist are at least mysterious. His course as Collector of Internal Revenue should serve as a warning. f\ State Grange at its meeting in Los Gatos on Tuesday by State Master Worthen are two which are of so much importance as to deserve the most earnest efforts the Grange can put forth to pro- mote them. These are the enactment of legislation for the preservation of forests and for the protection of the public against the manufacture and sale of adulterated and spurious articles of any kind, and particularly those which are used for food or medi- cine. Upon neither of these issues is it necessary for the Grange to undertake any elaborate campaign of edu- cation. It is safe to say that every American who is at all interested in such subjects is already familiar with the essential facts relating to them. It is known that all sorts of impure foods are put upon the market bearing labels which deceive the purchaser. It is also known that our forests are being rapidly wasted while almost nothing is done to repair the waste or even to check it. The evil results of a lack of adequate laws against the sale of spurious foods are many. The toleration of what is no better than a swindling practice in- jures not only the consumer, who is deceived, but the honest producer or manufacturer of genuine articles. In that way legitimate industry is made the victim of fraud. Producers of olive oil have to compete in a market where cottonseed oil is sold under the name of olive oil, and the products of our orchards are dis- credited by the practice of selling in the East all kinds of inferior fruit labeled in such a way as to delude the purchaser into the belief that they are the products of California. All of these things, we repeat, are well known. The only reason why th has been no sufficient legisla- tion to prevent them is that Congress has never been sufficiently impressed by the public demand for such legislation. There is always a great pressure of busi- ness at the national capital, and Congressmen natur- ally act upon that which is most strenuously urged. If the Grange will direct its energies to the task of forcing the issues of pure food and forest protection upon the attention of the Government we shall not be long without getting the desired legislation. In fact, a good deal has been already accomplished in the di- rection of pure food laws. A Senate committee has collected a large amount of evidence upon the sub- ject and there is a strong sentiment in both houses in favor of a national law of some kind to prevent frauds. Therefore if the work of the Grange be resolutely un- dertaken at once and supported in all parts of the country, we may have an experiment at least in pure food legislation this winter. MONG the recommendations made to the or the forest protection laws the Grange would find itself amply supported by public opinion and by the press. The people are now quite ready to act upon the issues. Any well devised legislation will find a warm approval everywhere. It is recognized that food supervision, at any rate, cannot be effectually dealt with by the States acting separately. The evil is na- tional and can be remedied only by national authority. Auditor Wells says that our system of local civil service is unfair and impracticable. This is one way of saying that as a practical politician his Highness the Mayor knows his business. A little army of young, ambitious Porto Ricans wants to be educated 1n Chicago. There is evidently much need yet for the labors of moral missionaries in our new island possession. —_— The Board of Education has at last clearly and most unmistakably passed beyond the bounds of its abilities. 1t has undertaken to define the meaning of the word gentleman. It is said that Queen Victoria owns some very valu- able land in California. Perhaps her Majesty has a lingering thought of making her home some day in pleasant places. Bryan confidently expects, it is announced, to set the world on fire this month.

At this juncture it is appropriate The Call should repeat what it stated at the very out- set of the campaign and has announced more than once since that time. The Call will not support a bad man for any office. It will not advocate the election of a crooked politician to the Legislature, nor the election of an unfit man to a judicial office. There is but one way to establish honesty in politics and that is for the people to vote honestly for honest men.

The mean annual heat of the tlerras calientes (hot or littoral lands) is 77; that of the tierras templadas (temper- ate lands) is from 70 to $0 and the climate healthful. while in the tierras frias (cold lands) the mean annual heat ranges from 66 to 68, OLOGRAPHIC WILL—Subseriber, Oak- land, Cal that “an olographic will is one entirely written, dated and signed by the hand of the testator himself. It is subject to no form and may be made in or out of the State and need not be witnessed.” It has been held that such a will written on a sheet of paper on which there was printed Francisco, 189..," could not ad- mitted as an olographic will because there were words on the paper not in the hand- writing of the testator. EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYE—L. W. L., City. The law of California holds a negligent or careless employe responsible for any damage resulting to his employer by reason of neglect or careiessness, but is silent as to the responsibility of the employe, if any, as to accidental damage to machinery, tools or property of the em- plover. If when an employe is discharged or leaves of his volition there is a dispute as to the amount of wages tendered the employe can take the amount offered in part payment and can sue for the bal. ance if the amount involved will warrant going to law.
