OME ‘has been celebrating a festival more un- expected perhaps than any other that ever en- gaged anything like so large a number of per- sons. That Pope Leo XIII would live long enough | to complete twenty-five years in the pontificate was not even so much as thought of when he was chosen. Had it been asserted as a prediction it would have been laughed at. Cardinal Pecci, as he was then called, was sixty-eight years old when elected to the papal throne, and it was quite confidently said_at the time that it would not be very long before the Cardindls would be called upon to choose his suc- Cessor. Leo has outlived all of those who were once deemed | likely to succeed him. Of the Cardinals who were in: the conclave that elected him there remains alive only | a single one, Cardinal Oreglia di Santo Stefano, and | he to-day is not much older than Leo was at the time of his accession. All other Cardinals have been cre- ated by Leo himseli, and he can well say to them: “You have not created me, but I have created you.” Within a few weeks Leo will have completed his ninety-third year, and those who see him most closely | and frequently report him to have so much vitali(y; of life Julien de Narfon, a French biographer of Leo, re- cently spoke of him as “The Caesar of Souls,” and the title is by no means a fantastic one.

The holding of the Cloverdale fair at a time when the whole eastern side of the continent from Texas northward is swept by blasts and blizzards may per- haps help them to understand how blessed we are in that particular, and yet for a {ull realization of it they must come tq, California. The climate never will go to them. Early in February there passed over the East a weet, short season of sunshine and at once bird and beast and people began to think of spring. Our Eastern exchanges were full of notices of the appear- ance of robins, and some of the more sanguine pre- Cicted a speedy coming of spring itsel{ There were others, however, who were not to be deceived. Even while rejoicing in the glow of the unexpected warmth they shivered in the certain knowledge of what was con\ini One of the wise ones was F. L. Stanton, He sang of the rose and the robin, but in the last verse of his song he warned the public thus: | Springtime in winter: Skies above as blue As the eyes with which your sweetheart looked sweet- est love to you! But yonder comes a blizzard that'll freeze each drop [ o' de And blight The poet was right. The blizzards struck the sunny South and froze Georgia clear through to the nests where the possums sleep. We have no such evils here. Our skies are not only as “blue as the eyes with which your sweetheart looked sweetest love to you,” but they are also as true as those eyes.

SSEMBLYMAN SISKRON has introduced a A bill providing for a radical change in our primary election laws. We have had a good many election laws of one kind or another since the days when we began experimenting with the Aus- tralian system and the result has not been satisfactory I nor even encouraging. @It is, therefore, hardly neces- sary to say thit any new effort at amending or alter- ing the existing system ought to be very carefully | studied and undertaken only where there are grave Under the present method of conducting primaries | ister as a member of some political party. He is then given a ballot containing the names of candidates for | the convention of that party only. The effect of the law has not been at all what was aimed at, for it has not prevented Democrats voting in Republican primaries when there were no earnest contests in publicans voting in Democratic primaries under like conditions. Furthermore, it is complained that the | example to others in that respect, and the fair at, SAN RAFAEL BELLE WILL WED IN TEXAS method dcstroys the privacy of the ballot, since i compels a man to declare openly and sign himself as a member of one party or another. The Siskron law is designed to remedy those cvils. | It provides a blanket ballot containing the names of | all candidates and leaves the voter free in the privacy, | of the balloting booth to vote for candidates to which- ever convention he chooses. On the face of it the' tem was equally promising before it was tried. There is no telling what will be the effect of the Siskron plan until it has been tested in practice, and the ques- ' tion is.whether or no it is worth while making the | experiment. \ | On that point there comes an interesting story | from Minnesota. In 1809 the Legislature of that | State adopted a direct primary election law which was hailed throughout the East as excellent in every re- | spect. It has been tried fairly and has disappointed | everybody. The very author of it, Mr. Dwinell, is reported to have written recently to a friend in Wis- consin: “In two primary elections in this State I have | seen that no advantage has been gained. Commenting upon the failure of the Minnesota | | plan and, indeed, of all similar plans to eliminate po- | litical evils by paper systems, the Chicago Inter| Ocean says: “The defect of the old system is at the | | bottom—in the neglect of men who really want honest | | government to sweep before their own doors by | | choosing honest precinct delegates. Corruption has ! | its root in the neglected precinct primary. It cannot | be cured by any patent panacea. It can be cured only | | Ties nearest.” | | Of the truth of that statement there will be little | | question among practical men. Some of the evils in ‘ | our election laws must of course be remedied. The | adoption of the balloting machine will go a long! | way toyard ridding us of many of the worst of them. | | It is not worth while, however, to be always tinkering | | with the election law No measure of that kind | should be adopted solely as an experiment with some- | thing new. When we have universal good citizenship | we shall have universal purity in politics. Meantime. | so long as some of the better elements of the com- munity shirk their political duties we shall always be in danger of boss rule, no matter what kind of election laws may be enacted. | o N The struggle now going on in the Senate between the followers of Quay, who are trying to rush | | through the statehood bill, and the followers of Cul- | lom, who are trying to do a similar act with the re- ciprocity bill, has a good many of the fehtures of a football game, only there is much more kicking in the Senate than is permitted on the gridiron. The German bluebook, recently issued, shows that in two of the most offensive operations of Great | Britain and Germany toward Venezuela it was the English and not the Germans who were the insti- | gators and aggressors. The man who said “God | save me from my friends—I can take care of my| enemies” must have been -thinking of Johnny Bull | | Ernest von Waldenbruch, a German of recognized }aufl\ority in several worthy spheres of intellectual | activity, declares that his country should state posi- tively its acceptance of the Monroe doctrine. Unless this distinguished man contemplates leaving the fatherland he certainly is entitled to the sympathies | of the rest of us. e U The burglars, robbers, thugs and highwaymen who have beea infesting this city seem to be moving toward Oakland. While we wish the gentle deni- zens of the town no such misfortune as this disturb- ance of their peace they probably will do what we were unable to do—land the malefactors within jail. President Wright of Clark University is evidently trying to get up a reputation as a freak educator | that will make the Chicago champions turn green | with envy, for he has stated in a public address that scholarship and scientific research are of more value to unmiversities than victories in athletic contests. Simply because they are fearful that they will be dismissed most of the teachers of the Normal Uni- versity of New Mexico have gone on' strike. They are either in the position of the small boy who yells before he is hit or they have conscience enough to indorse the designs of their enemies. —_— Hawaiian political affairs are bristling with quar- rels between the natives and the white politicians.
