Neither the executive com- mittee nor the State Central Committee can do any- thing more than make recommendations on the sub- ject. It will remain with the local authorities of the | party to choose delegates by any means they ma_v‘ designate, and the final decision as to the validity of the choice rests with the State convention itself. What has been accomplished, therefore, is but little more than a victory on the skirmish line and the main battle is yet to be fought. That the bosses, who, under the direction of Billy Herrin, are making the fight for Gage, will accept the recommendations without a struggle is not to be expected. They are working for delegates who will take orders, and they will not hesitate to resort to trickery to obtain them. They are well aware they have but little chance to elect their men at primaries, and accordingly will have delegates appointed wher- ever they can. A It is hardly necessary to point out that while the following of the bosses is mot numerically strong, the combination is mevertheless a formidable one. The corporation has called to the aid of Gage all its henchmen of both camps. Even where primaries are held there will be a fight made for Gage by a combination of the Democratic with the Republican | made. “push.” In short, the corporation forces are thor- oug] organized and thoroughly unscrupulous. Very little will they care for a recommendation of the State Central Committee if they can see any chance of advantage by setting it aside, and unless the rank and file of the party be vigilant and reso- lute a2 good many Republicans may have the morti- fication of seeing themseclves misrepresented in the State convention by nfichine delegates appointed to obey Herrin and vote for Gage. While the situation is thus far from reassuring, the executive committee deserves credit for leading off in the fight for open primaries. It is a step in the right dircction and gives encouragement to those | who are demanding that the right be conceded to every Republican to have a vote and a voice in the selection of the delegates who are to nominate the State ticket. The action of the committee tends toward the ultimate harmony of the party, which is | threatened only by the effort of Billy Herrin, 2 Demo- crat, to foree the renomination of Gage. If now the rank and file see to it that the recommendation be followed in every locality the prospects will be bright for the nomination oi a ticket that will sweep the State and aid in bringing about victory county. in every e e e San Francisco has given up the completion of Dewey boulevard.

I ment has been in progress TWO DEMOCRACIES. VER since 1900 the divided Democrats have been trying to get together. The two wings were exactly like two balky horses pulling or refusing to pull the same load. When one wants to go the other doesn’t, and so they wear out the whiffle-trees, one by backing when the other goes ahead. However, since the high harmony dinner of the Manhattan Club the two nags seemed to be so far in accord as both to balk at once. This was such an improvement that hope ran high. Both crowds stood neck and neck, neither pulling a pound, but standing still at the same time. The like of it had not been seen since 1802, when they were both pull- ing together. This was the first time they had agreed upon anything, and, zlthough it was an agreement to balk in hzrmony, it was something. Then appeared Colonel Bryan on the scene. He looked over the load and failed to find free silver, or the platforms of 1806 and 1900, or a copy of his “First Battle,” or even an issue of the Commoner. There was no pledge to celebrate his birthday or do any other thing to keep him or his memory green. Then Bryan was mad. He proceeded at first to abuse everybody from Watterson to Hill who hitched | the team and loaded the wagon, and then took off his coat and unhitched his silver horse from the wagon and rode him off, leaving the gold nag whinnying for his mate. As a result there are two Democracies. The effort to hitch up in harmony began in New York, and there it ended. The Bryan Democrats have come out utterly and set up for themselves, and their missionaries are out promoting ‘lhc movement in the Middle and Western States. A convention is called to meet in New York June 7 to nominate a full Bryan State ticket, and candi- dates for Congress and local offices. The call for this convention hops on to David B. Hill and makes him look as if he had been attacked by a company of buzz-saws. His record since 1894 is overhauled, and by no means for repairs, but to make them neces- If he is left uncccused of any political crime it is because it was like parricide among the Greeks —neveg heard of. Tammany, the new Tammany, the disinfected, vaccinated and just-out-of-quarantine Tammany, then comes in for a roast which rises to the dimensions of a barbecue, and the scent of its tor- ment is detected as fer as the smell of burning gar- bage in the valley of Hinnom. The offense of Tammany is that it has entered into social relations with Mr. Hill and has returned bis calls. For this Tammany is stripped of war paint and feathers and the sachems and wiskinskies are treated as if they were just reservation Indians | and not big braves at all. Having given a good licking to these offenders the Bryan Democracy proceeds to adopt a platiorm, and y fellow not standing on it, or even seen loafing near the edge where it would be easy to jump off, is ruled out, cannot be a delegate, and if caught vot- ing the ticket will find the finger of scorn loaded and aimed at him. This piatform re-enacts those of 1806 and 1900, ypon which Chairman Jones won the greatest vic- before election in the history of American politics. Upon the platform of 1896 he carried every State in the Union except Vermont, and in 1900 had hopes of that. These victories were won in August and September, and the merit of those two platforms is that they got in and won-in huckleberry time and before the first frost, while the Republicans had to wait till November before they carried a single State. "We think the Bryan men are wise in not parting with those platforms. They are like a family totem to a Siwash Indian—they mean much. Then this call to arms proceeds to denounce the courts, call attention to Bryan’s exclusive ownershjp of the Declaration of Independence, and then, seem- ing to see David B. Hill again, runs at him like a dog with a collar does at the pound wagon. With its finger on the public pulse and with the furred tongue of the United States under its inspection, this Bryan crowd prescribes for the patient a dose of initiative and referendum, to alternate when- the patient is awake with popular election of Federal Judges and Senators, to be followed with “liberal pensions of faithful public servants who retire from age.” With all this the patient is to take a bath in a Government ownership of all utilities, and, as a soporific, the single tax. tories ever. won Upon this the followers of the prophet of Lincoln | take their stand and refuse to budge. And it was for this that Bryan unhitched his horse. The American flag is worrying the manipulators of the British merchant marine. Our British cou- | sins should congratulate themselves that the flag ap- pears on a mission of peace, prosperity and profit, or the worry might be more serious than that which now attaches to any reference to South African af- fairs. THEE DUTY OF REGISTRATION. T the meeting of the executive committee of A the Republican State Central Committee on Monday evening Chairman Stone directed at- tention to the fact that registration throughout the State is progressing very slowly. While the enroll- 3 for more than three months it is reported that in several counties less than 100 persons have, registered. The delay in registration is far from being sur- prising. Unfortunately the average Amnierican busi- ness man, workingman and professional man is so much absorbed in his own affairs that he is prone to neglect even the most primary of his public duties, Every election year, whether the contest be national, | State or local, furnishes new illustrations of the seeming indifference of the general public to the duty of registration. It is not until the excitements of the campaign are=under way that the attention of citizens is given to the importance of the subject. The result is much the same year after year—a lagging enrollment for months, and then a rush to enroll dur- ing the closing days of registration. The delay invariably brings with it two evils. In the first place if citizens would register early they would have little or no difficulty in getting them- selves enrolled, but when they wait until the last week, or perhaps even the last day, there is of neces- sity a good deal of annoyance caused by having to stand in line wasting perhaps an hour at what could have been done earlier in ten minutes. In the sec- ond place when the delay is carried too far citizens sometimes find it impossible to register at all, and thus they lose the franchise and the privilege of having a voice in deciding what candidates shall be elected. H It is still some time before registration will close, | but it is none the less just as well to begin reminding citizens of their duty in that respect. The bosses will see to it that their men are registered, the henchmen of the corporations will get every service- able heeler on the rolls, but there is no one to round up the good citizens. If they are to be registered it must be upon their own initiative. It will be well, therefore, for earnest - and 'public-spirited men to urge the indifferent 1o give attention to the matters at once. In a short time the sammer holidays will be at hand, and then hundreds of citizens will go out ‘of town and forget all about politics and return to find the registration office closed and their franchise forfeited. It is best to register at once. RAILROADS AND THE LAW. REPORTS from Los Angeles are to the effect that the officials of the Santa Fe road will not comply with the recent ruling of the In- terstate Commerce Commission that railroads must make shipments by whatever routes the shipper se- lects. President Ripley of the Santa Fe, who is now in Los Angeles, is quoted as saying: “Our course in regard to the ruling of the Interstate Commerce Commission in the citrus fruit case will depend on what the lawyers advise. I do not expect we will comply with the ruling, but we wilt let the courts decide whether we are right or the shippers are right.” : i On the face of it that refusal to comply with the ruling of the commission until the courts have passed upon it seems fair enough. It dismisses the com- mission, indeed, as a body of no authority, but it in- timates a willingness to obey the courts. If any con- fidence could be placed in the apparent respect for the courts all would be well, but, unfortunately, no such confidence can exist. The great railroad man- agers have in repeated instances paid no more at- tention- to the courts than to the commission. On the very day that President Ripley in Los An- geles was expressing his intention to appeal to the courts the merchants and manufacturers of Chicago joined in making representations of unfair discrimi- nations on the part of the railroads centering in that city. The charges made by the complainants are | probably true, since they are made by a body of re- sponsible men, and yet those roads have been spe- cifically enjoined by the courts from making such discriminations. The roads ‘therefore have not only violated the law, but have violated the injunction and are in contempt of court. Another recent incident is pertinent to the issue. Only a few days ago President Hill of the Great Northern was asked what would be the effect if the Supreme Court enjoined the merger planned by the Northern Securities Company, and replied: “It makes not the slightest difference to us, not the slightest. We own the properties now, and whether we control them in one form or another doesn’t make much dif- ference. It's something of a fashion, just like the coat you wear may be cut in three or four different ways, and still be a coat. If the courts should finally decide against the securities company it would hurt { people interested in other railroad corporations, but {it would not affect us.” It is probably quite true that Mr. Hill wa$ correct in saying the decision of the United States Supreme Court would have no effect whatever upon his com- pany. Whether his acts are legal or illegal makes no difference. He is as sure of his ability to defy the court as President Ripley is to defy the Interstate Commerce Commission. This defiance of the law and the courts is not a thing of to-day only. It has been going on for somie time. In the report submitted to Congress last Jan- uary. the Interstate Commerce Commission said: | “It “is not the business of this commission to enforce the anti-trust act, and we express no opinion as to the legality of the means adopted by these associations. We simply call attention to the fact that the decisions in the United States Supreme Court in the trans-Missouri and Joint Traffic Association cases have produced no practical effect upon the railway operations of the country. Such associations, in fact, exist now as they did before those decisions and with the same general effect.” £ That is the situaticn. “The railroads” ignore the commission, the courts and the public. It is not merely that a comparatively small city like Los An- geles is unfairly treated, but even so great a city as Chicago is wronged. The defiance runs not only against the minor tribunals of the country, but the Supreme Court itself is mocked. Surely it is high time for the people of the United States to put a stop to this defiance of law. Either the Interstate Commerce Commission should be given power to enforce its rulings or it should be abolished. It is up to Congress to act, and the peo- ple should see to it that the action is taken promptly. ——— A CLEAN SWEEP. A to be a good deal of talk throughout the country of “clean sweep.” Republicans are going to exhort one another to make a sweep of the whole country, Democrats will try to make a sweep of a State or two, and even the Populists, fusionists and independents will get out brooms more or less new and make a vigorous effort to sweep a county or perhaps even a Congressional district. Before all that metaphorical political sweeping be- gins and the phrase loses its force let us talk business awhile on the advisability of making a Jliteral clean sweep of the thoroughfares of San Francisco by way. “of preparation for the coming of the many thousand visitors to our city during the summer. That the streets of San Francisco are much cleaner than they were in days gone by is indisputable. We have got past the silurian age and our principal thoroughfares are no longer foul. Still they are a long way from being as clean as they should be. When the summer winds blow about the town for the cooling of the air -and the refreshment of the Eastern fugitives from the sweltering torridity of the Mississippi and th: Atlantic States they will carry a good deal of dust with them if there be not much better clean sweeping than is done now. It is well known that nothing makes a more prompt or a more permanent impression upon a vis- itor to a city than the condition of the streets. Where the pavements are good and are kept well swept and clean the visitor forms a favorable opinion of the community, but if the fpaving be rugged, ragged or dirty, or if he be everywhere annoyed by clouds of dust raised by every breeze, no amount of hospitality can excite in his mind any great admira- tion for the community, We are going to put our- selves to considerable expense, and are to exert our best energies to the entertainment of the visiting Mystic Shriners and Knights of Pythias, so we should attend to the matter of making a clean sweep of our main thoroughifares as a part of the work of preparation.

SUNDAY- — i 1 Zr Sl ington of ~Plymouth Congregational Church. After the singing of the hymn “Onward, Christian Soldiers,” Rev. W. M. White opened the exercises with a brief address. He said that he was extremely sorry that Mayor Schmitz, who was to deliver the address of welcome on behalf of the city, was not present, having been detained by a press of municipal business. In the Mayor's place he introduced Rev. F. M. Larkin of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, who delivered the welcome on the part of the churches. He said in part: The Sunday school is as old as the history of the church. All the leaders of Christianity favcred them ond urged their establishment. Celsus, the great heretic in the first century, said: ' “Destroy the school, for if the youth of the land are educated, our cause can make no headway.” Martin Luther, the Jesuits, John Wesley and other noted religious leaders favored the establishment of the Sunday school. Sc we must realize that we have to develop the Sunday school, which is the very vital part of cur church. The Sunday school enhances ropular education and the morality of the reople. The Bi¥le is out of the public schools and it is probably out to stay. Then how are | you going to grasp the problem of morality if we do not teach the Bible in the Sunday school? We have either to teach morality to the pupil of the public schools through the medium of the Sunday school or else put & po- lice officer upon him as a safety valve. CITY IS HOSPITABLE. Rev. A. B. Banks of Sacramento made a brief and humorous response, in which he referred to the hospitality of the peo- ple of San Francisco as exemplified in the reception accorded to the delegates to the Christian Endeavor, Epworth League and the present conventions. Rev. L. M. Walters of Fresno, first vice president, delivered an address entitled “Go Teach—Respond Quickly to the Call.” He said the international Sunday-school system was inaugurated in 1573 and at the close of that year had a membership of 5,000,000 In thirty vears its scope had ex- tended to all parts of the world, and now it numbered 25,000,000. “It is planted,” he said, “in every country, in every mission post and every school district, and it is the advance guard of church ciyiliza- tion.” At the close of the meeting President White announced the appointment of the following committees: DEATH SUMMONS NOTED PIONEER OF CALIFORNIA Henry T. Holmes, president of the H. T. Holmes Lime Company, died Monday night after a Jingering illness at his home, 1922 Pine street, foremost ploneers. He was born in Lan- singburg, Rensselaer County, New York, February 28, 1829, and started out for him- self as a grocery clerk at the age of 1. ‘When the news of the great gold discov- ery in California in 184§ reached the East he was one of the first to start for the gold fields. He came around the Horn in 1849 and commenced mining near Auburn, but later, with a keen business sagacity, opened a general merchandise store atr Missouri Bar. He built the first tele- graph line in California. Tt was owned by the Alta California Telegraph Cora- pany and ran between Auburn and Grass Valley, Later the line was extended to Sacramento and San Francisco, where it was finallv acquired by the Western Union Company. The deceased was at one time a Super- visor in Sacramento and was also on the first Board of Levee Commissioners in Sacramento in 1861. This was the board which constructed the Sacramento River levee. He was also one of the early subn- scribers to Huntington's Central Pacific venture. In 1887 he organized the Sunset Lime Company in Tehachapi, Kern County, and became president of one of the only two ‘wholesale lime companies on the Pacific Coast.

The meeting will be held at the Girls High School Friday afternoon at 2:30 oiclock. Director Denman, president of the Board of Education, will explain the object of the meeting, and Dire tors Mark, Roncovieri and ‘Yoodwud and Su- perintendent of Schools'Webster will de- liver addresses. The school officials are very much ex- ercised over the recommendation of Aud.- itor Baehr to the Board of Supervisors that the appropriation for the public schools he limited to $1,200000 for next year. This amount, the Directors say, is entirely inadequate to run the department properly. A memorial will be drawn at the mass-meeting and signed by the school officials and teachers urging the Supervisors to increase the appropriation above that estimated by the Auditor.
