ROM the Republican Primary League there has F been issued another appeal to the voters of all parties to see to it that they are properly regis- tered for the primary election. Registration for that purpose closes next Saturday, August 3, conse- quently only a few days now remain for attending to the duty. In this connection the notice is once more given that the following persons are entitled to registra- tion: All persons not registered at the last election, but who were entitled thereto. All native citizens who have arrived at age since the last general election. All native citizens not registered who have secured a residence in the State and county since the last gefieral election. All electors who have changed thelr residence from &nother county in this State to this county since the last general election, and prior to May 15, 190L All persons who were registered, but by moving out of their respective districts, or otherwise, have lost thcir right to vote. All gualified voters who were registered at the last general election, or since that time, and who ‘will have continued to reside within their respective election pre- cincts shall be entitled to vote without additional regis- tration. 1t is to be borne in mind that the primary elections this year will be quite different from those of the past. The old scenes of fraud and violence which dis- gusted honest men with such elections cannot be repeated under the new law. If Kelly and Herrin win out this time it will be only because they can bring to the polls a number of rounders large enough ta outvote the better elements of the party. Of course that cannot be accomplished if good citizens attend to their political duties. If there be a full registra- tion of all good citizens and a full vote on election day, the end of boss rule in San Francisco will have come. So many men have looked upon the primaries in the past with distrust that some may be inclined to dis- trust them now. On the other hand, others may be so sure that under the new law corruption will be powerless that they will not deem it worth while to vote. It is these two elements that constitute the danger of the’ situation and gives the bosses their only ground for expecting a victory. The bosses know that primary elections have been neglected hy many good citizens in the past, and they expect a similar state of things this time. With a light vote they can win. To defeat them there will be needed a heavy vote. It is for good citizens to see to it that the vote is heavy. : Between now and Saturday, when registration closes, every effort should be made by all who are in favor of honest politics, genuine Republicanism and good government to see to it that every true and stanch Republican who is entitled to registration should get his name on the rolls. There are of course many things in business affairs to distract the atten- tion of men from their political duties, but these should not be permitted to lead any one to neglect the issue that is now before San Francisco. If the Republican party submits to boss rule at the primaries it may bid farewell to any hope of carrying the city when the municipal election takes place. i i e Expeditions for Arctic and Antarctic exploration have never been so numerous or so well eqmpped as this year, nor have they ever been so costly. In fact money enough has been burned in such expeditions to thaw out the pole if it had only been applied rightly, It is now announced that the United States will fortify and occupy all the chief ports of Cuba, so it will be seen that Platt-amended independence is quite different from the real thing. William Jennings Bryan is still selecting Presiden- tial candidates. Some day, it is to be hoped, he will wake up. Nightmares cannot Jast forever. < THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY JULY 31, 1901 SCHOOL POLITIOS. HE case of Miss McKenzie, summarily and ir- T regularly dismissed from the schools of this 4 city, may well cause alarm in all teachers who are not in possession of a “pull.” The lady had in early life by her own will and exer- tions prepared herself for her profession. Her inheri- tance was poverty, in a material sense, but in a higher sense she inherited from her ancestry a firmness of purpose and a genius for work that are better than es- tates and bank accounts, Her career for years was distinguished by success of the most gratifying na- ture® and in spite of all the errors and / sometimes crimes of school boards her high merit held her in the schools. e Finally her place so well filled was wantcd by the favorite of a millionaire, and under his imperious in- fluence she was transferred to the place where the present board found her and whence it has expelled her, unlawfully and irregularly. It is said that the president of this board even taunted her that she had sprung from the loins of labor, and therefore would of course accept injustice and misfortune with a feel- ing less keen than if “gently reared.” The daughter of the people will probably accept ‘whatever comes, and she will as probably test the issue whether there is justice in the courts and a defense against the snob- bery and lawlessness of this board. We mention the lady and the personal phases of the case only to illustrate the methods which are dis- turbing our schools. She is unknown to us, and her case is interesting only as a type and her treatment only as a symptom. It is hardly thinkable that members of a board should not only work up a false case against such a teacher, and prejudge while pretending to fairly try it, but also accompany the rendering of an unjust judgment by personal taunts. The members of that board might be ignorant of their duties, as most of them are, out of touch with the spirit of our public schools, as some of them are, and by reason of in- firmity of temper, sordid prejudice, lack of judicial mind unfit to sit in judgment, as they all are; but it is too much to find them also wanting in the human- ity that must inspire the character of man and woman, else it is not gentle, no matter what the length a pedigree may have. The schools are likely to suffer from the spirit of intrigue and prejudice which the board inspires. When it is notorious that the way in or the way out for a teacher bears no relation to merit and worth, experience and excellence, then the worthy must de- scend to the methods of the unworthy to get favor and hold position, or go out carrying the sense of gross injustice tempered only by having retained man- | hood or womanhood by refusing to bow at the shrine of upstart selfishness and parvenue authority. There may be cases in which it is less ignoble to have a pull. Opne can imagine approaching by such means an authority that has strength, if not dignity, and therefore is entitled to some respect. But when, as in this case, the authority approached has neither strength nor dignity, but only an inflated sense of power, it is like the king of beasts soliciting a flea for permission to live in the 5un§le. “Hast thou seen a dog bark at a beggar and the wretch run from the cur? There was the image of brief authority. Even a dog is obeyed in office.” ation, in a recent address at a meeting of that body said: “One of long experience on the bench writes received on behalf of the defense of criminal cases is false. Another judge of equally high repute writes divorce cases approaches deliberate perjury. Another writes that perjury is committed in a majority of increasing.” Either that is a very pessimistic view of the situation, or else Iowa is the wickedest State in THE WHEAT. INDUSTRY, RECENT conference between the Sacramento 1 &Railway, though futile in effecting its object, which was a reduction in freights, brought out some It is somewhat surprising that the growers fail to take advantage of the river. The farmers on the their own line of boats, which ply regularly through- out the year bringing down fruit, vegetables, grain, Their lands are so situated that it is impossible to ship by rzil on any terms, so the land-owners joined most picturesque. When freight waits at a landing a flag is hung out, just like an express call in the city, making the stops on either shore where they are wanted. The stream is beautiful, its banks tropical in matic with the odors of fruit and melons. But we did not intend to stray into the esthetic ing traffic. There may be some reason why the farm- ers of the upper valley cannot in the same way com- them to Port Costa, or some other point where they meet deep-water ships. If there be no other reason the matter is worth examination. The answer of the railroad to their request was that years were all that could be expected, and that if there were any further reductions they would be all freight seems to be the pinching point. The num- ber of vessels in the wheat fleet has fallen off, having nage required in ocean traffic. It is believed, too, that the introduction of oil as a fuel has affected wheat less, and the fleet that brought coal to carry away wheat has decreased. Wheat feels all these adverse that ‘it was in the days of Dr. Glenn and his 60,000- acre wheat field. are some startling indications that it is permanently declining in this State. While it may not yet be called retrograding. This is said from no pessimistic mo- tive. Nothing is more* common in the history of sweat that go into the change of its crops by a farm- ing community. Louisiana underwent it, exchanging of the Upper Mississippi Valley had to abandon that crop and seed the fields it had impoverished to dairy 1. J.

The traffic is and the boats zigzag up and down the stream in the luxuriance of their foliage, and the cargo is aro- and away from the practical features of this interest- bine and provide wheat barges and steamers to tow except failure to take advantage of an opportunity, the reductions in wheat freights made in the last few taken up by advances in ocean freights. Deep-water been absorbed in the great increase of general ton- as to transportation, because the demand for coal is influences and has ceased to be the profitable crop Once the leading industry related to the soil, there a dying industry, it is evidently at a standstill, if not American agriculture than the agony and bloody indigo for sugar-cane, and parts of the wheat belt grasses and take up butter and cheese. that dairying returns to the soil a larger proportion of the plant food it takes therefrom than any other form of agriculture. It is evident that wheat exhausts soils in Califor- nia. The straw seldom goes into the manure heap to be returned to the ground, and the assimilation of manures, where irrigation is not used, is not.as feas- ible here as in the East. The lesson of the wheat-growing situation seems to be a change of rural industries. On account of our climate we have a wide range from which to make selection. We are doing almost nothing in textile plants, while there is no known reison why hemp and flax should not be profitable, or that experiments with jute and ramie would not succeed. Our large importation of cured pork products should stimulate hog-raising, which goes well with dairying, and is not unnaturally associated with fruit farming. If we are to be protected against cane sugar from the islands there is a call upon California sugar beets, the richest in saccharine in the world, to supply the whole Amer- ican demand for that article. With irrigation other root crops on a large scale are possible, ard as a resource for stock feeding should be profitable. We know how hard it is to turn the practiced wheat- raiser away to other crops, but if the problem of prices and freights prove insoluble by any persua- sion the wheat-growers can bring to bear on the rail- roads or ship-owners, and they cannot use the river as suggested, we see nothing in the future except a change. It is useless to take a pessimistic view of this necessity. It ha§ been upon the people of other States, and has been manfully met without harm to the fortunes of individuals or injury to the prestige of the commonwealth. Every part of the United States that is growing wheat must soon or late face the same situation. The famous wheat fields of seventy-five years ago are famous no more. Who hears of the Genesee wheat of New York, that once had world- wide fame? The soft wheats of Minnesota and the Red River of the North are declining, and last year the mills of Minneapolis had to run on wheat im- ported from Kansas. The latter State stumbled on a variety of Russian wheat brought by some immi- grants that was the means of recovery of her posi- tion as a wheat-grower after all American varieties had palled on her soil, But nowhere has the soil gone back to nature, or farming ceased with the passing of wheat, nor will this happen in California. —— e The Buffalo exposition has been in had luck. The spring was too cold and the summer has been too hot for sightseeing in that locality, and as a result even the fame of the wonderful electric-lighting has not drawn a paying crowd. Probably Charleston may have better fortune, for her show is to be held in the winter time. THE BANJO AS A JOY. SHORT time ago in commenting upon filing Aa petition in bankruptcy George C. Dobson, a veteran banjoist in New York, declared that the day of the banjo is over. He is reported to have said the bicycle, the camera and golf have proven so at- tractive to the young they have no longer any time for the banjo and that instrument as a pleasure maker is among the things of the past. The New York Sun took up the theme and poured forth upon it a stream of words that expressed a coasiderable amount of banjo lore in sentences whose melancholy cadences sound like a funeral dirge. It told how in 1848 Joe Sweeney, the minstrel, intro- duced the instrument to the New York public, how it roused a “languid interest,” how the gifted Sweeney added the E string, how Barnum took it up in 1858 and had banjo concerts at his museum, which were followed by a flash of popularity during the war. How banjo solos were for a time played at Wallack's Theater between the acts, how the banjo artists threat- ened the supremacy of violinists and pianists, how in 1883 there was a craze on the subject, and so on down to the time when newspapers devoted columns to banjo concerts. Then the Sun says: “With the original Spanish Students who appeared at Booth's Theater came the mandolin, and its tremulous tinkle marked the first jangle of the banjo's death knell, The Students made a tour through the country and The first wedge to knock out the banjo had been driven in. And, alas! where is the banjo now?” That mournful question has been promptly an- swered. Up from New York itself there have arisen voices of protest. It is announced by some of them that never was the banjo more musical or more popu- lar than now. It is not the banjo that is passing, says one authority, but the old-fashioned way of teaching and playing. Another expert says: “I find that true and capable exponents of the banjo, with their good instruments, have more engagements at the functions of the Four Hundred than they can at- tend to.” Such information will bring a world of comfort to the American public. The banjo'is our only national musical instrument. It has been a joy in the past, and may it live forever. The extension of trolley lines in the East amounts now to something iike a formidable rival to the steam roads. It is announced that Detroit and Pitts- burg will soon have trolley ®onnection by way of Cleveland which will give a road of 375 miles under one management. The time is not long past when that would have been a good mileage for any railroad. Commenting upon the fact that the introduction of the shirt waist has led men in the East to go about in shirt sleeves, the New York Sun says: “The shirt waist brigade must either organize to cure this demoralization or their revolutionary garment will be swept away itself.” Here is another case that needs arbitration. The movement to erect a monument to Napoleon at New Orleans in commemoration of the fact that he transferred the Louisiana territory to the United States has not made much headway. There seems to be more, people bucking against it than pushing it. ‘What grinds the Bryanites more than anything else is the fact that they were turned down in Ohio just as the heat had injured the crops enough to give them a chance to start a calamity campaign. Perhaps Sampson will act with respect to the court of inquiry as he did with respect to the Santiago fight and make himself conspicuous by his absence. Tom Johnson has dropped out of Democratic talk about the next Presidential race and Dan Lamont is getting more mention than any one else. Now that King Edward has taken to the automo- bile the machine will no longer have any difficulty in getting a right of way in British parks. —_—— Now that the hot spell is broken the people of the FEast have begun to look around them and ask, It is known ' Where is Roosevelt?
