Y-the action of the Police Committee in deciding to recommend the passage to print of the ordinance legalizing pool- selling and bookmaking at Ingleside race- track the issue of renewing that form of gambling in San Francisco is once more " | brought before the people. The recommendation will in the order of things be sub- mitted to the Board of Superyisors at the meeting on Monday, and they will be asked by Mr. Tobin that it be passed to print. If this be done by that body the ordinance will be one step nearer passage, and the task of defeating it will to that extent be more difficult. It is therefore once more the duty of the friends of morality and law to rouse themselves and confront the danger. cisco Jockey Club, the organization now see The movement of the gamblers is made, as before, under a specious guise. They nd they are secking simply the privilege of conducting legitimate racing. In a state- . ment furnished to the press for publication last Sunday the president of the San Fran- lfl\‘ king to reopen Ingleside, said: “None of the men interested in the San Francisco Jockey Club have cared to make money out of it. In fact, if in five or ten years it cost them not only for the good of racing, but for the money to give seventy-five or eighty days’ ouia 1o Tacing during the heart of each winter they have made up their minds to stand the loss, benefit of the city of San Francisco and their 1115 Bromaway | OWD amusement.

Such arguments may mislead a fev men into signing the petition of the gamblers, but the more intelligent will not sign. Ho W can any man pay a livery bill or a black- smith’s bill or buy or hire a carriage if his money be squandered among the gamblers on the track? San Francisco will lose in money ing of gambling at Ingleside, and all classes industry will share in the general loss. r even as she loses in morality by the reopen~ of her people who are engaged in legitimate Mayor Phelan has spoken of the scheme as a permit for “pocket-picking.” It means that gamblers are to have the privilege of enticing the unwary to gamble and thus to rob them®* of their earnings.

I: s that we e that treaty and violat w 3 honorable obligation it imposes, and de- clares that keeping faith when we pledge it is “gov- ernment of the living by the dead,” which will not be endured, because “one generation is mot in any way bound by the engagements of its forefathers.” Among the ancients the most enlightened held that fe was the highest merit in the honorable obser- Treaties between nations have in all th vance of treaties. ages been considered as possessing unusual force and solemnity.

By analogy treaties can be made only between nations which have the power to discharge the obligation assumed. The ancients regarded a treaty as of especial sanc- 0,000 was raised for that purpose. When asked who | 1ity- One of the earliest treaties was between Mace- donia and Carthage, which in its preamble recites that: “This treaty was concluded in the presence of Jupiter, Juno and Apollo; in the presence of ths demon of the Carthaginians, of Hercules and Iolaus; in the pfesence of Mars, Triton and Neptune; in the hearing or permitting him to confront the men who | ©f the sun, the moon and the earth; in the presence assailed him was in itself a wrong; and upon the evi- | i of the rivers, meads and waters; in the presence of dence now made public it appears the wrong was in all the gods which possess Carthage.” the nature of a gross outrage, inasmuch as it was a | er removed. ng brought about by a corruption fund raised in | R e natown for the purpose of getting an honest of. | the honorable obligation of treatics, and as a result It is of interest that no appeal to the g::;ds proved sufficient to make Carthage keep her word or observe of her bad faith she fell from the position of a world There is no need of an argument upon these facts, | POWer to be the spoil of the Romans.

An Assistant Treasurer of Tacoma pleads as an ex- cuse for a series of peculations that he was under the influence of a hypnetist. - Perhaps the most satisfac- tory way of demagnetizing him would be to place him safely within penitentiary walls. Yet the Chronicle desires to try the experiment in the case of the Clayton-Bulwer treat§ because to keep it inviolate is “government by the dead” If that treaty is government by the dead, what is to be said of the constitution itself? The treaty is only fifty-one years old, but the consti- tution is one hundred and twelve, and those who made it are certainly deader than John M. Clayton and the Taylor administration. This country should be the last among the nations to modernize Punic faith. It is to be deeply regretted that the enemies of the Nicaragua canal have succeeded in again defeating that project by defeatinig the orderly and proper sub- stitute for the treaty of 1850. Had the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty been ratified, as it should have been, the canal bill would now be the law and construction would be already in progress. No matter what Senators and newspapers may pro- lfess, those who pretend that the only way to build the canal is by violating the faith of this nation are | not the friends of the canal nor the guardians of the | honor of the country. | John M. Clayton was not a mere politician by ac- cident charged with making a treaty upon a subject in which he had no interest. As a Senator, in 1833, he procured the passzge of the first resolution in- structing the President to negotiate treaties in Cen- tral America for the construction of an isthmian canal. i Speaking in the Senate in 1849 he said: “Whatever 1the cost of a passage by railroad or canal across to | the Pacific by either isthmus (Panama or Tehuante- | pec) may be, whether two and a half millions, six mil lions, twenty or fifty millions, I say, sir, that the wit | of man cannot find any other mode of expending the same -amount of money as much for the benefit of this country and of the whole human family. And I | repeat that I do think that, in the middle of the nine- teenth century, it is a disgrace to the Government that nohing has yet been attempted with success to save our commerce the dangerous navigation of nine thou- sand miles around the cape.” After he made that speech he made the treaty. In the session of 1853 its abrogation was proposed. Cass introduced a resolution to inquire into the incidents of its ratification, and then ensued a season of Sena- torial twisting of the British lion’s tail, which Gwin | of California tried in vain to end by moving to. lay the resolution on the table. It was adopted, but noth- ing further was done about it until Clayton himself re-entered the Senate at the next session and in a speech that has never been answered vindicated the | treaty .and justified his motives in making it. The talk that runs now about denouncing it seems almost literally copied from that debate on the same subject within two years of, its ratification. Clayton stood then pleading for the canal as he had in 1833, while those who opposed the work or who saw in the discussion only an opportunity to play the demagogue and make political capital were doing just as ths same class are doing now, and the canal waits now az it did then. The St. Louis teacher who insists upon rewarding her big boy pupils with a kiss is probably one of those enthusiastic spirits whose career of usefulness is likely to be suddenly interrupted. She seems to take life too seriously for the comfort of her neighbo-s. Richard Croker says from London that he is watch- ing American affairs with the keenest interest. He may have what satisfaction there is in the fact that Americans are watching him with equal interest. The Chinese highbinders of Portland have gone to war among themselves and threaten to exterminate one another. They certainly should be encouraged in what appears to be a very laudable purpose. .Efi_ofts are being made by our State legislators to prohibit the sale of absinthe. This looks like a de- { of Incalculable worth to engineers in the PAPERS ON CURRENT TOPICS. . —_————— PREPARED BY EXPERTS AND SPECIALISTS FOR THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. - What the Federal Government Does for the| People of the: United States—Aids By Dr. A. DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE OF EXPE Given to A The United States Department of Agri- culture is a good example of a modern government agency ‘which is devoted to promoting the business interests of the people. It has very little to do with con- trolling their actlons in any line. Its chief function is to aid in the development of our great basal industry. As Beeretary Wilson has recently said: ‘“‘Appropria- tlons for its use are investments. It makes direct returns by adding to the wealth of the country. It gathers facts | and spreads information. s added vearly to the profits of our farmers others as the result of its investigations. Beginning with the distribution of a few seeds and an appropriation of $1000 about siXty years ago {n the patent office, the department of agriculture has grown to be an institution employing over 3000 per- | sons, of whom more than 2000 are engaged | in scientific work as experts and assist- ants. It has an annual income of over $3,000,000. It issues about 600 documents annually, of which It distributes about 7,000,000 ‘coples. It has important adminis- trative duties and a seat in the Presi- dent’s Cabinet, but it is chiefly a scienti- flc establishment—the greatest in the world. ¥ It is a great mistake to suppose that this department works solely in the in- terests of farmeers. Under the organic act which is its charter, it is ‘““to acquire and | diffuse among the people of the United States useful information on subjects con- nected with agriculture in the most gen @ eral and comprehensive sense of word."” It is examples to show the wa department is fulfiling t sion.

Study of Irrigation and of Foods. ‘Through its office of experiment tions the department has intimate rela- tions with the agricultural colleges and experiment stations now in operation in every State and Territory, and simjlar in- stitutions throughout the world. periment stations employ about 700 pei sons in the work of administration and in- along lines similar to those in which epartment is engaged. The results of the work of these institutions in differ- ent countries are collected by this office and made available to our people through numerous publications. This office has recently organized a com- rehensive investigation of problems re- ating to irrigation. This work Is vital to the interests of the communities occupy- ing the western third of the United States, Studies are being made of the laws and | institutions of the irrigated region, as well | as of the uses made of irrigation waters. | This work Is of interest not only to farm- | ers and fruit-growers in that region, but | to all the population there, and to invest- ors, merchants and madufacturers in the East who have business relations with the West. This office also has charge of special in- vestigations on the food and nutrition of man, which are carried on in different parts of the country In co-operation with the colleges, experiment stations and benevolent drganizations. A large amount of information regarding the food hablits | of our people, cost of food as related to its nutritive value, the effects of cooking ! on the digestibility of food, etc., has been collected. A special effort has.been made to bring the results of this work to the attention of school officers and .women's organizations interested in the mainten- ance of courses of instruction in cooking and other branches of domestic sclence. The publications of the department on this subject are now in use in many col- leges and schools throughout the country. The fruits of this work have also been utilized for the improvement of the ra- tions of our’ soldiers and sailors and the inmates of public institutions. 3 How many people are there in New York or Boston, or Chicago, who realize that has been inspected by the Bureau of Ani- mal Industry of the department, and that this work has been a great factor in im- proving the quality of the meat supply in this country? This bureau inspected 33,000,000 animals last vear, including about 440,000,000 pounds of beef and nearly 275,000,000 pounds of pork.
