HILE the President is in the Northwest speaking to a hardy race of American pio- neers in praise of individual freedom and initiative and stability of character Mr. Bryan is ar- ranging to make a general campaign in New Eng-{ land to promote the socialistic doctrines of his two | platiorms. There are method and purpose in his plan. With the decay of the old New England sto:ki there has risen in those States a socialistic spirit which has gained greater headway than in any other | part of the republic. The blood of New England is now planted in the West. The States this side of the Missouri which | in 1806 indorsed Mr. Bryan and his views Im\'c; since repudiated both. The final reason was that their hardy and independent people, having time for | examination, recognized the strange doctrine under | the elaborate disguise in which Mr. Bryan cloaked | it.

Y the Merchants’ Association Review there are The writers touch upon well nigh every loca | question of the time, from business to beauty, and | present 2 stsiking array of proposals in the way of | improvement which merit the progressive men. The place of honor in the Review is given to a| picture of a suggested improvement of Telegraph Hill, drawn by Arthur Matthews for the C'Illffll'“l-'li Outdoor Art League from' plans by Grunsky consideration of | y Engineer The design proposes the purchase of cer- tain property on the gastern face of the hill and the decoration of it with trees, shrubs and creepers, so as to make that front a highly picturesque precipice. The neglected park on the summit is to be beauti- fied and easy approaches are to be arranged on the west and south. The plans, while artistic, are not extravagant, and it wounld seem that at a compara- tively small cost the hill might be made an object of beauty and a pleasure resort attractive not only to residents but to visitors. Another suggestion deals with a2 much needed im- provement from a business point of view. This is an indorsement of the recommendation of the Board of Public Works that Mission street be widened so as to make room for the increasing traffic that is to pass along it in future. The writer of the article, Herbert E. Law, says: “San Francisco has had but one street, commercially speaking. That was Mar- ket street. This situation has changed. It now has two streets, Market and Mission. We must have ar- teries that will steadily take care. of the surplus traffic and make it possible for us to grow without conges- tion. We must make it possible for traffic to go for- ward promptly. Merchants cannot afford the ex- pense of handling goods incident to narrow, con- gested and unkept streets.” Along with these atnd other suggestions there runs a plea for a more liberal support of the work of the California Promotion Comtnittee. That work indeed | &—— is one of immediate and almost of imperative concern. Enough money has now been expended and enough work done to lay the foundations of a great move- ment for upbuilding the State. It would be folly to cease our efforts at this juncture. Thousands of peo- ple in the Mississippi Valley are seeking new homes. The migratory movement is the largest ever known in the history of the country. The home-seekers are going even into the remote provinces of the Cana- dian northwest. Thousands of them are coming here. If the work of the Promotion Committee be supported we shall add largely to the population, the wealth and the industry of the State. The work is de- cidedly worth while, and it is to be hoped the sub- scriptions will be liberal and prompt. been Woman's Street Car Passenger Rights’ Associa- tion,” and as it is a foregone conclusion that the | association will demand the whole car, the men of | There has organized in New York a the city may as well form a pedestrian association to | walk for health and quietness.

A | recent review of the subject points out that while the | patent for a steamboat was taken out in England in 1736 the invention was not made commercially use- ful until 1807. Stephenson ran his first locomotive in 1814, but sixteen years passed before the business world of that time was ready to turn it to advantage. Fven in recent times a similar slowness dsenoted. | w Thus the felephone was exhibited at the Philadelphia | Exposition in 1876, but not until several years after- ward was it developed into an instrument of every- day use. { We are moving faster than our fathers and much fagter than our grandfathers. It is only a few years ago that The Call first applied wireless telegraphy to the uses of a newspaper by obtaining in that way an announcement of the arrival off the Golden Gate of the transport bringing home from the Philippines the California Volunteers. At that time the invention was ridiculed by the Hearst papers and the inventor was derisively called “Macaroni.” Now the invention has not only been perfected as a means of sending messages, but it has been rendered prompt enough and cheap enough to take its place among the com- | mercial utilities of the day. The New York dispatch gives a year in which to see the realization of the wireless telegram in com- mon use. Even if that be a too sanguine expecta- tion the public can still afford to wait with patience. The great invention has been made and the commer- cial world of our time is not going to delay in turn- ing it to oractical advantage. or | 1t B L 1 W la T f di | MeCue and Cahill, | Beaux and Belles octet and Gardiner and lete one of the best vaude- |the house and those who have att of the “Young Corbett, gilist, is on exhibition. ternoon an entire change of bill will be presented.
