Later on the amounts so borrowed will | have to be returned to the funds from which they have been borrowed.” That is the situation which the Legislature and the Governor have had to face and meet. The deficiency is not of their making. Had the tax levy of the last Governor went on to say: Legislature been made adequate to the needs of the| State, there would be this year no such heavy rate xation imposed as is now necessary. In pointing that the tax levy this biennial term must be higher than that fixed by the preceding Legislature, the Governor was quite justified in saying: “It is only fair that it should be distinctly understood in ance that this, however regrettable, cannot be avoided and that it will not be from any extrava- gance of the present Legislature, but is due to the policy of its predecessor in reducing the revenues more than it reduced expenses.” Upon that showing of facts comment is hardly ecessary. ministration is 4s in no wise responsible for the emerg- ich has made the high rate impefative. Had the t Legislature evaded .the responsibility thrust t and sought to make a showing of economy inadequate to the needs of the expenditures, the effect would have been to make the situation even worse than it is. What has been done is the best that can be under the circum- stances. For the sake of making a pretense of economy on the eve of an election the former ad- «ministration deliberately impaired the financial sound- ness of the State, and the present Legislature has to repair the evil. It is to be hoped the lesson taught by experience will be so thoroughly learned by fhe taxpayers that there.will never again be an attempt to deceive them in that way. king a levy The Democrats of Utah protested recently, in high dudgeon, against a special prayer which the Legis- lature chaplain offered in their behalf.

AN INCOMPETENT COMMISSION" U ' it would largely augment the efficiency of the municipal government. Special emphasis was lzid upon the improvement that would follow in the maintenance and management of streets, and ample assurances were given by the advocates of the charter that when once a Commission of Public Works had taken the place of the Superintendent of Streets we should have highways kept in good condition and a general betterment all along the line. The charter was adopted and the Commission of Public Works was duly appointed. The staff of the commission. was chosen and salaries were appor- tioned. Then the people got ready to watch the new work and applaud it as it went along. They have been waiting patiently ever since, but they have scen ‘no occasion for applause. On the contrary, they have seen a good deal to condéemn, and com- plaints have been frequent and emphatic. It would be difficult to find a single section of the city in which there is displayed anything like an efficient care of the streets. The condition of the main "thoroughfares is disgraceful. Along the whole length of Market street and of Golden Gate avenue, the principal driveway to the park, the roadbed is full of hollows and holes. The recent rains have filled these depressions with water, which in some places forms veritable pools, through which foot pas- sengers have to wade ankle deep in’ muddy water. | When carriages or buggies are driven through the streets the water is splashed up by the wheels and thrown into the vehicle. Even in dry weather the condition is not much better, for driving at such times is rendered disagreeable by the jolting and jarring of the vehicles whenever one of the frequent hollows is encountered on the route. The responsibility for this evil rests not upon the charter, but upon the members of the commission. They have ample authorityifor carrying on the work. The appropriatioris allotted to them are not insuf- ficient for.good work if they be economically ad- ministered. It is not too much to say that the pub- lic would willingly sanction even larger expenditures for street work if they were sure the commission would use it economically and efficiently. At present, however, almost every dollar allotted for street work HEN the adoption of the new charter was under consideration the people were told Good streets are a necessity to the community. We can put up with poor service almost anywhere else rather than in the administration of the streets. | Whether people be rich or poor, whether they go out | | for business or pleasure, they require well kept high- When the streets are smooth, firm and clean When the streets are uneven, rough and3 dirty the discomfort affects every pedestrian and | seriously handicaps vehicles of all kinds. | For a city of the size and the wealth of San Fran- cisco the present condition of the streets dmounts to They are an offéense to every We have established a reputation as a convention city and are trying to make San Francisco the chief resort of Western pleasure seekers whether in winter or in summer, and yet we leave the streets in such riving tourist is one of discomfort and disgust.

Mayor Schmitz owes it to the community to do ! what he can to infuse new vigor into the Commission | | of Public Works, even if it should be necessary to | put new men in charge to supply the vigor. We have now commissioners and engineers and clerks galore, but we have hardly anything for our money. The people demand better work on the streets, and if the present officials cannot perform it, then it is time | for the Mayor to act.- Good streets we must have, and in order to get them we must have good men in charge of the work. The responsibility as well as the power of appointment rests with the Mayor, and the people expect him to do his duty.

HILE the report from Washington that Carnegie has expressed a willingness to finance the much discussed project of a rail k those of South America may not be strictly accurate, it nevertheless gives renewed interest to the subject. Diplomatic representatives of every country in Cen- tral and South America have been in conference with the State Department concerning the project, and it appears that all are in favor of it. Under such cir- cumstances the undertaking of the enterprise by a man of first rate financial ability would go far toward | bringing it into the domain of things practical. In comparison with other railway enterprises of our time the projected line is by no means extraordinary. The gaps which now exist between the railway sys- tems of the two continents are nowhere very large. The magnitude of the work, therefore, would consist not in the distances to be covered but in the en- gineering difficulties to be overcome. Even those, however, would present no problem essentially differ- ent from others that railway engineers have met and mastered. Rails have been laid across mountain bar- riers of almost every kind, and where it was found im- possible to establish a feasible grade means have been found to tunnel the mountains and thus force a way through them. One of the obstacles that confronted the early pro- wmoters of the enterprise was that of obtaining capi- tal, but that no longer froubles the exploiters of great enterprises. Money is abundant the use of any capable man. Morgan found no d Ity whatever in ficating stocks and bonds to the amount of more than a billion dollars when he wished to érganize his great steel trust, and in every financial cefiter in the world there is plenty of capital looking for investment that could be readily obtained by promoters in whom the ouvblic has ccnfidence. The only serious obstacle that remiains to the en- terprise is that of the lawlessness of many of the coun- tries through which the road would pass. Russia could get money for her Siberian road because it was known that from one end to the other it would be under her control. The line which Cecil Rhodes pro- jected from the Cape to Cairo will be carried out in due time because that road also will be under stable government along every section of the line. ‘A differ- ent condition of affairs presents itself to the promot- can be provided for securing the investment against the rapacity of Central American Governments and the fawlessness of the revolutionists the boldest of the captains of industry may well hesitate before in- Yesting heavily in the work. Even that difficulty, however, may be overcome. The United States has demonstrated its ability to pro- tect the Panama railway even in the midst of revo- lutions and wars. What has been done in that case might be done for a line connecting the systems of the two continents. From any point of view, there- fore, the project appears now to be well within the reach of enterprise, and if any man of commanding influence in the commercial and industrial world were to undertake it in earnest it is quite possible we might see through trains from New York to Val- paraiso before they are running from the Cape to “airo, - ———— A few days ago a member of the British House of Lords was struck dumb in an effort to deliver his maiden speech before his peers. ‘This is perhaps not the first defnonstration of the fact that silence is the 4~ wisdom of fools. ‘ e — A CHANCE TO WIN. EPORTS from Washington concerning the probable selection of San Francisco as the meeting place of the Republican National Convention next year are encouraging to the hopes of the city. We have several times in the past made efforts to obtain one of the great Presidential conventions, but never before {have we had such prospects of success as are now visible. It appears, in fact, that we are to have strong support in the East and that if we make our fight with vigor and with persistency we have a good chance of winning. The most favorable feature in the situation is the | preference of President Roosevelt for a Western rather than an Eastern convention, and hardly less important is the support promised San Francisco by Senator Quay. Should we put up a strong con- test for the place and make the reqtisite showing' of financial support, it would be easy for the President to bring New York and for Quay to bring Pennsyl- vania to sustain us. With those two great States to start with and with the help we can confidently count spon from all the States of the greater West, we would have at least as good a chance as any com- petitor that would appear against us. The report concerning the attitude of the President and Senator Quay is circumstantial and reliable. It is stated that when Quay was making his fight for the omnibus statehood bill he was offered a chance to get | ‘votes for the bill by pledging votes in the Republican National Committee for San Francisco as the place of holding the national convention.' Before accept- ing the proposition he conferred with the President and learned that the selection of San Francisco would have the President’s approval. We are thus assured at the start of the assistance of two of the { most powerful allies that we could possibly have in a contest of this kind, and if we only do our share we will probably win out. In times past there were four serious obstacles in the way of bringing a Presidential convention to this city. First, the people of the East looked upon San | Francisco as a place so remote that they rarely gave | any earnest thought to a proposition for holding such a convention here. Second, railway rates were so high and the journey so long that men who were | eager to attend such conventions objected to coming here. Third, a belief prevailed that the hotel facilities of the city were inadequate to the needs of the crowds attending conventions, and fourth, there was a lack of sufficient means of telegraphic communication to sup- ply the demands of the Eastern press for news. Of those four obstacles, three are clearly no longer in our way. San Francisco has become one of the great convention cities of the Union. For several years past we have had conventions of that kind every | summer, and the Eastern public has learned that we are not out of reach for convention purposes. The hotel accommodations of the city are now recognized | as ample, while the railway rates are no longer high nor is the journey long. There remains the single | issue of telegraphic facilities, and it is quite probab!cf that those can be made equal to all the demands the press would put upon them, even for reporting a Presidential convention. Such is the situation that presents itself at this time. We have a good claim for the convention, we have strong allies, we have large inducements to offer and we have nb formidable competitor in sight. Un- der such circumstances it seems well worth our while to make a bid for the place and do our best to bring the first Presidential convention of the new century to this side of the continent. i — It has been noted in Europe that the German Gov- ernment in asking appropriations for the navy did not specify items of expenditure, and a belief is prev- alent that the Kaiser has a scheme that he doesn’t wish to make public. Men of speculative mind are now guessing what he is aiming at. Some think he will make a demonstration in Chinese waters, and some infer he will make it in American waters.” The chances are, however, that the money was asked in a lump sum solely because that is the easiest and the quickest way to get it. WH SR WL There is a report going the rounds that the young men of South Dakota are so eager to get wives that almost every marriageable young woman who goes to the State is immediately snapped up and there is great difficulty in getting girls enough to teach school. Get- ting down to details the report goes on to say that a traveler in the State recently found an empty school- house with a card tacked on the door saying: “Teacher wanted. If single, must be old and unattractive, as a wealthy bachelor in the neighborhood threatens to marry the next teacher of this school.” o Since his retirep\ent from the navy Hobson has taken to lecturing, and it is said he told the Kansas Legislature not long ago that he desired to “educate the people of this country to understand that they are. the greatest people on earth.” The address would doubtless have been more successful if he had thought to add that the Kansans are the greatest of the greatest and the legislators the greatest ‘of the Kan- sans.

James G./Warren, the newly €lected president of the convention, pre- £lded, and in spite of the torrents of rain that poured during the morning there | was a large and earnest gathering of men and women from parts far and near. It was 9 o'clock when the Rev. E. W. Work, D. D, of Berkeley opened the sessfon with a profound talk entitled “Living .Up to a Good Name: The Story of a Slave.” Following him came 7T. S. Lippy of Seattle, who chose for his sub- Ject “A Financlal Study.” Mr. Lippy sald that God, the creator, must have an absolute ‘ownership in all his creatures, and if an absolute claim could be strengthened it would be by the fact that | He who gave us life sustained it and with His own life redeemed it. Manifestly if God had absolute ownership in us then we could have absoluté ownership in nothing whatever. DISCLAIMS SOCIALISM. If we could not lay claim to our own selves, the speaker said, how much less then to that which we found in our hands. He went on to explain that when they sald that no man was absolute own- er of the property they did not take tre soclalistic position that private property was theft. Because of our individual trusts, for which we were held responsi- ble, we had ‘individual rights touchirg property. He held that only as we vver- came selfishness, covetousness and the love of money could we abide in Christ and have His spirit abiding in us. ‘W. M. Danner of Denver followed with the subject “For What Reason Do Men of Wealth Contribute to the Associa- | tion?” The first reason, said Danner, was that the Young Men's Christian Assocla- tion appealed to the practical mind.

The questions under discussion were “Our Religlous and Social Work,” ‘“Are Present Methods Meeting the Religious Needs of Men?” and “The Recreative Instinct in Young Men—To What Extent Can the Associa- tion Cultivate It?"” ‘The latter question created quite a live- ly and interesting discussion.
