ATTACKING THE PRESIDENT. there are votes in caricaturing President M Roosevelt and his, -wife for having -Booker Washington dine at the White House. They repre- sent W gton as a “burly negro” and -the Presi- dent in the form in which Hearst's papers have per- cartooned hini. Professor Washington was M. A. by Harvard and carries the honorary de- gree of Yale. He has been entertained by the presi- dent of Yale.and has sat in'banquets with white gen- tlemen in‘the South. - We have not yet heard of any Southern students withdrawing from Yale ‘or*H4r- vard, or of any Southern gentleman refusing to ap- pear with Professor Washington on any public occa- Sion. Only one public man in the South has denounced and deprecated the werk of Washington among she members of his race, and that is the inexpressible Tillman of South Carolina, who declares that the in- dustrial education of the negro is a detriment to the country! We do not believe that the Maryland voters wiil be influenced by caricatures of the Presi- dent or his wife, but if they.can be this is a good time to find it out. The North has not been harsh nor hasty with the South in its struggle with the race problem. If that struggle is for the preservation of society there is no disposition to interfere. = But if it is a manifestation of mere prejudice, an outbreak of personal hatred and a sodden and sordid expression of enmity to the negro for what he can’t help, his color and his racial character, the views of the -North are subject to change and the power of the constitution may be in- voked to protect theiblack -man, who, left to himself, cen“protect his rights only by the miracle of changing his skin. To reasonable men it appears that when a negro, born in slavery, raises himself by his own ex- ertions and genius as Booker Washington has done, it is the first duty of good citizenship to recognize and encourage him. ‘It ‘goes without saying that if all, or a majority, or a large fraction, of the negroes in this country were equal to him, it would be better for the country and a glad thing for both races. Therefore, by encouraging him, let others be en- couraged to be like him. President Roosevelt - has acted from a profound philosophy and in line with the peace and welfare of his country by giving this foremost negro in the world the recognition mer- ited by his talents, training and work. Those who turn it into an appeal to prejudice and ignorance are not dcting from Philosophy nor patriot- ism. Their motive is the ‘sordid“one of office-getting. Professor Washington has not regretted the wresting of the ballot and .of political power from the South- ern negro,.for he sees no good to him in the posses- sion of a power that he does not know how to use. His object is to enlarge the negro’s means of liveli- . hood by manual training, increasing his knowledge and hisskill in the ecomomic use of his capacity. - He wants him educated to want a better hovse, to be bet- ter clad, 1o own real property and to be trained to get all these by his own exertions. One may -well pity a man who has no sympathy for such a work and no encouragement for the earnest man who has started 2nd prosecuted it so ?romisingly among the people of his race. oS — 4 Mr. Wells’ statement that if he had known what kind of men Herrin and Buirke were going to put on his Supervisor ticket he would ‘n‘ot have accepted the nomination any more than he would give up his hope of going to heaven shows that his first impulses are all right and that his gnly defect is that he does not live up to them, ) The chief issue in- this.campgign is that of prevent- ing Burke, Herrin, Gunst and Goldberg from looting San Fra:fi:isco. 0 p 3% ¢ R. GORMAN’S Maryland machine thinks'I { HE ambition of San- Francisco is to have a strong man for Mayor. A man is needed who has mo strings on him, but has the independence to do justice to all men and to every interest. ' Look where you will at the history of municipal misgovernment in this country and its odium begins in making national party divisions the main issue in the election of a city government. - It is a fixed habit of the American people to vote with party in every matter that concerns-national politics, When a Senator is to be elected good men habitually, and open-eyed, vote for bad candidates of their party for the Legislature lest a seat in the Senate should be lost. The misfortune in city government begins: in making partisans their politics. in both parties and runs to no party. management. believe they will come. N believe that they owe this same allegiance in a city election and to a municipal ticket. That belief has no foundation. Such allegiance is 10 more due in a city election than it is in the transaction of business. No 'man employs a Democratic lawyer on account of his_politics. No man trusts his money with a bank because its officers are of his party. «n.the employment of men whose work is necessary in business, no inquiry is made int6 : Partisanship ceases in all business matters, and running the government of acity is just as much business as the running of a sawmill. -+ When two political parties nominate city tickets it is the privilege of every voter to_selectthose candidates whom he will support, and if he be ‘a wise man he will prefer good and-fit men, no matter upon which ticket they are found. We tried to impress the men who.chose themselvés to run the Republican party in this city with this fact. But they refused to be impressed. They refused to make a ticket to which the independent voter would go to find men deserving of his support. They made the head and tail o the ticket, the Mayor and Supervisors, of such material as revolts the citizen who wishes. a correct ‘and business administration of the city. ifjthe‘w’eak and unfit candidates on that ticket succeed, the blame will not be ours. g Around the unfit parts of that ticket we see every rapacious and offensive element in the city rallying. The classes which prey upon the community, those who offend against its'morals; those who consume taxes without equivalent service, and those who want to control a municipal administration -in order to barter public authority to interests that thrive by getting more than their lawful rights, all march in- the progession that pushes the fortunes of the candidates who are notoriously unfit for the places they seek. We desire to make the result of this election exemplary. We hope that it will foréver admonish the manipulators of politics for private gain that San Francisco offers no field for their exploits and holds out no hope for the success of their schemes. We hope that the way of this city in the future will be made plain by the voters, and that evil influerices, always pressing for municipal control, will be so baffled that they will desist and leave the government of the city to those who desire it administered in the public interest, and to serve no other end. This is a disclosure of the motive which we have in common with the | most enlightened members of both parties; but. especially is it the motive of the best part of the Republican party. If they succeed in this battle the credit belongs to such men That they did this is not our fault, and If people have attended diligently to the course of The Call they must by this time know that it stands for clean partisanship in Republican matters and for straight business in city administration. We have not consciously favored the doing of a dirty thing in properly partisan matters, and we will certainly not be found on the side of indecency in public matters that Liave no natural relation to party politics. We believe in free conven- tions in party matters, where party men may meet and reason together and openly ballot | their way to an agreement, and not in conventions that -are programmed in advance and meet only to ratify conclusions reached in secret by a small clique of manipulators. San Francisco has now the opportunity to rebuke unto death boss rule in munic. ipal matters, and to do a great work in purging the infirmities out of general party The election of Mr. Tobin will bring to the administration of affairs not a partisan spirited Mayor but one of public spirit, who is not using the position as a stepping-stone to something else, but is willing to do his duty to the people without laying wires or patch- ing fences to help himself or some omne else in party politics. . There are two motives that may be in' municipal administration that are essentially bad and injurious: -One is the desire for ‘power for what there is in it of personal gain, and the other for use to get some other office. When either of these appears its appear- ance is significant of corruption and maladministration. The people have learned to watch for both and will repudiate either if properly informed of its presence as the power behind a ticket. To that work and duty we try to summon the voters of this city, and we R. ASQUITH, who ranks among the fore- M most Liberals in Parliathent, recently ad- dressed his constituents on the issues of the day, and in doing so brought to . public = attention once more the fact that the Salisbury Ministry is in power only because the Liberals cannot: frame a programme of work on which they will agree. In a recent contest at Lanark, where a strong majority Pi the voters are Liberals, the seat was won by a Con- servative because of divisions in the Liberal ranks. The socialists put up a candidate against the party nominee and a considerable Irish elemient in the pop- ulation voted with the socialists, so that it was a walkover for the supporters of the Ministry. The Conservatives who ‘are thus profiting by the mistakes of -their .opponents have done nothing*to deserve public confidence. It is not only that their predictions concerning the war have been invariably discredited by the events, and that the intelligence of the country now perceives that the nation was hur- ried into a wasteful and bloody struggle by blunder- ing or worse on the part of the Ministers, but that the home policy of the Government has been as futile as its military policy. In his’ address Mr. Asquith said: “The country has, in my belief, little afféétion- for, and still less confidence- in, its present rfilers. Never has there been so little to show as a reshlt of six yeats of power —six years during which an ‘nlmost unexampled ma- jority in the House of Commons has been able to act untrammeled and unchecked -by-its docile partner in the House.of Lords,- What use have the Government made of so unprecedented an __opportunity? ' What have they done to improve the social conditions and to brighten the lives of the people? Gentlemen, they have tinkered at housing; they have fumbled with education; ance, and they ‘have played the game of battledore and shuttlecock with old-age pensions. And even their one considerable achievement in the domain of social reform—the workmen’s compensation act of 1897—is so honeycombed with exceptions and con- tradictions that it has become the despair and the laughing-stock of the Judges of England.” 7 On that ‘'showing-there is clearly a need for a bet- ter Goyernment in Great Britain, but the opposition is unable to offer it. The socialists have no desire to put the Liberals into power, and the Irish party has taken such a stand with relation to the union with England that Mr. Asquith ‘declares he would, not agree for the Libcral party to take office if its con- trol of Parliament were dependent upon Irish votes. Tt would seem that his position in that respect is acting for themselves and would not be a reliable part of any governmental majority except where an Irish measure tion. . et A gratifying feature of the address is the showing of a willingness to consent to the grant of a large measure of home rule to the Irish people. Mr. As: quith asserts that the problem can Hever be settled any other way. He says: “The problem of Irish 4 they have procrastinated over &empcr-v justified by the facts, for it is certain the Irish are- favored by them pvas under considera- 2 society leat‘ier the. *will be forgiven. BRITISH LIBERALISM. government is as serious and as intractable as it ever was. . You cannot kill it by kindness; you cannot extinguish it by land purchase; you may shut your eyes to it, but it will continue to stare you in the face. Indeed, in some ways, the problem grows more com- plicated and more perplexing as it is more clearly seen to be closely bound up with two other problems of statesmanship. The future has to solve the effi- ciency. of our Parliamentary machinery, and the re- lation of the different parts of the ethpire to the cen- ter and to one another. For my own part I believe as strongly as ever I did in the two governing principles which I have preached among you ever since I have had the honor to be yolr, representative—viz., first," the necessity of maintaining the universal, absolute and umimpaired supremacy of the imperial Parlia- ment; and, subject to that condition, the policy of giving as large and as liberal a devolution, of local powers and local responsibilities as statesmanship can from time to time devise.” There is a certain hopelessness in the present con- dition of the Liberal party in Great Britain that bodes ill for the empire. Since British statesmen admit they can do nothing for the solution of the Irish problem, what will they do when they. have the task of governing the Transvaal Dutch? There will be in South Africa another Ireland as intractable as the old, and one whose problems may be even more dif- ficult to solve: e ————— Since King Edward has determined that his coro- nation shall be a spectacular’ performance with none but the nobility in the cast, it is believed that the Coun- tess of Clancarty, who was Belle Bilton; the Coun- tess of Orkney, who was Connie Gilchrist; the Mar- chioness of I'Ieadfr.wt,~ who was a ballet girl; the Countess of Berkeley, who ‘was a music-hall singer, arid others of the same type, ought to be prepared to shine with the’ brilliancy of their old days and give. the amateur performance something of the glow of the real thing. It is said that Santo_s-Dumont has expended $300,- 000 and ricked his life in twenty-five accidents in his efforts to develop a successful airship, so it would seem that Lipton’s nerve in trying to get a British yacht that can beat anything of the kind in this coun- try is not the only thing in the way of enterprise on the -globe. % A Massachusetts Judge in a recent divorce case refused to accept as conclusive the evidence of a ‘woman on a question whether a man was drunk. His Honor evidently believes that drunkenness can. be distinguished only by those who have been there. v Judging from the comment upon the President's action in inviting Booker T.- Washington to dinner it would seemto be the opinion of Mrs. Grundy that as President is a little too strenuous. _ It is about time for the Omaha p&lice to inform Pat Cr_ovye that if he will stop letter writing and pro- ‘ceed to kidnap Miss Stone from the Bulgarians, all® SISTER BELIEVE HE WILL RETURN Although Four Years Since He Started for the Pole They Are Confident He Is Safe. PR T OUR years have passed since S. A. Andree started for the North Pole in a balloon. The Swedish courts 3 have declared that the explorer may legally be supposed to be dead. Andree’s. own extreme limit of time has Dpassed, geogranters agree that he is lost, his own brothe has accepted the bequests made to him in Andree’s will; yet his mother ‘and his sister are still confident that he is alive and will return. These two women live at Grenna in Sweden. They keep themselves ready to receive him any day or night and dust and clear every morning the rooms in which he made the plans for his expeditions. Say what you may, produce the most con- vineing proof that Andree must be dead, bring forth the strongest arguments in favor of your contention, the mother and sister will listen quietly ‘and when you have finished will simply say: “Han lefver och will otervanda.” (He is alive and will return.) ‘It is not merely hope, not' merely a strong desire, that makes these women 80 absolutely certain of the return of -their son and brother. It is their belief that Aundree went forth to seek the North Pale and to find it in fulfillment of a mission glven to him by God. ““And the Lord has never forsaken one of his servants,” is the way they explain it. z The mother, Fru Minna Andree, is near- ly 70, though her clear, ruddy face, her erect carriage and the continuous smile that plays around her face make her ap- pear much’ younger. Her rather robust daughter, Fru Emeline Spanberg, is'a lively, gocd-natured woman, and mother and daughter impress the visitor as a cottage they live in is a roomy, one-story bulldigng, f\i’rnlshed simply. Most of the furniture is substantial oak and an’etch- ing or two relieves the somberness of the walls. They are devout womdll and Fru Andree invokes grace before each meal, ‘“‘And, O Lord, keep thy servemt, my son, and return him safely,” she has ended her prayer every day for these four years. “Amen! Amen!"” responds Fru Spanberg. It is impossibie to describe the glow of pride and satisfaction which spreads over the kindly face of the mother when she exhibits the first shoe her son wore, when she points out the first prayer book he used, when she iolds up to your inspection the white tie he wore at his confirmation. And when she opens the drawer and takes out the various parchments which testify to the success of her son in high school and university, when she handles the va- rious medals he received. when sheasks you to read the flattering letters in which countless scientific societies notified him of his election as ome of their members, then, indeed, you see in her motherbood glorified. “Has there cver. been a mother more blegsed. than 1?" she asks, and it must be said. that her face gives the answer. “From boyhood on my boy has felt that, like the apostles of old, he must go to parts unknown and preach the gospel. Not in the same way as the regular mis- sionaries, Oh, no! ‘He was never much of a talker. But God gave him the ca- pacity and opportunity to study and that is also one way to make God’s goodness known. - Yes, he was to find the North Pole, and by his discovery of this much- sought-after region to testify before the pair of the most Intimate friends.

FRENCH LEAGUE IS FORMED TO WAR AGAINST SEASICKNESS Associatlon Founded to Ascertain Under What Conditions Malady Develops and to Seek Remedies. e T is impossible that all the persons - who have ever suffered from seasick- ness have heard of the Ligue Contre le Mal de Mer. It is also improbable that those who have “paid their trib- ute” from the ship’'s deck would hesitate very long about paying a visit to the headquarters of this well meaning Ligue if they were reasonably certafn of learn- ing how the terrors of seasickness could be averted. The object of the “League Against Sea- sickness” is to bring together all: those who are ‘“interested” in the subjéct of seasickness as a result of having had practical experience in that line and who want to be rendered immune for all time. The Matin remarks that the Frenchman who has once had seasickness will never travel on the perfidious element again as long as he can travel on land, and that this explains the lack of colonial develop- ment on the part of the French and some of the difficulties experienced by that na- tion in its relation with other countries. The Ligue Contre le Mal de Mer is hope- ful of being able to do something practi- cal with this malady, which is so regu- larly made a subject of ridicule on land, but which is sometimes such a serious matter on board ship- that the victims would liké to be thrown into the sea. The secretary of the Ligue has opened a general correspondence on this vital topic, and letters are coming in by theu- sands. From the tone of the majority of these letters it will be possible to ascer- taln under what conditions seasiskness is developed in the majority of persons, and consequentiy a definite problem can be proposed for solution. For example, one will know whether or not it is advisable to eat heartily before embarking, and what kind of food must be taken. It is evident that if among a thousand persons who have eaten before embarking there is found to be'a greater number of ecases of seasickness than among the same number of .persons who have not eaten, the main part of the ques- tion will have already been answered. As soon as the Ligue has a sufficlent number of adherents to constitute a strong “moral force” it will endeavor to bring to bear a pressure that will oblige the steamship companies to follow the elementary rules of hygiene in the mat- ter of table fare. It will also give its support to the inventors of suspension ap- paratus .that are intended to counteract the motion of vessels. The “Ligue Contre le Mai de Mer” may mever be able to discover a way of totally preverting seasiekness, but it may be able to so direct and instruct people in hygieric methods that an ocean vovage will cease to be the martyrdom that it now is for those who are “poor sailors.” PERSONAL MENTION.

TO REMOVE VARNISH—E., City. Tha following are given as methods to remove varnish from an oil painting: ‘Remove the picture from the frame. Wash the painting with a weak solution of earbo- nate of ammonia, wiping it off with a sponge wetted with water as soon as it has fulfilled its purpose. If allowed to remain too long it will injure the oil eol- ors. Another way is to spread a thick coat of wet fuller's earth over the surface of the varnish, leaving it on long enough to soften it. It may then be removed by washing.” Never having tried either of the methods this department cannot say anything as to their efficacy. . CZAR—E. G., City. Czar is the English designation of the Emperor of Russia. The Russian is Tzare, with the e mute. It is a corruption of the Latin Caesar. The Russians also use Tsar. In that lan- guage Czaritza and Tsaritsa are the equivalent of Czarina. Tzar, sometimes Tsar, is the form, while the Russian is Tsare. One etymelogist asserts that Czar is derived from the old Slavenic languags and signifies very much the same as the German Kaiser and the Latin Caesar, to which it probably owes its origin. Some etymologists identify it with the termina- tion of the names of the old Assyrian kings, such as Phalassar, Nabonassar and Nabopolassar. The title of Tsare was first given to the Grand Duke Vladimir, who reigned 980 to 1015. Walnut and Pecan Panoche. Townsend. * e Choice candies. Tonwsend's, Palace Hotel® AT L s i Cal.
