UNICATIONS TO 2 THIRD AND MARKET STREETS, SAN FRANCISCO THE PRIMARY FRAUDS. srand Jury, in its investigation of the frauds committed he iast ry clection, seems to have found an appalling n of things. The primary election was 1ormcrl_v_ a sub- stitute for the ary mass meeting and for the club primaries. In the mass meeti: there were fist great disorders occurred. On some occasions ts, bungstarter assaults and gun fights. These rievous and added often to the criminal business hey indisposed orderly citizens to taking any part cs.” The bosses and managers were always present me, resistance to which was sure to incur gross d often bodily harm. The system seemed to leave rely to the rough and criminal element. s system came the primary vote by ballot. little improvement in matters. There was ballot- alse impersonation and intimidation at the primary t part of the community despaired of reform, and of excuse for snubbing the primary polls entirely fountain head of all our political processes to be and scoundrels. However, there was a rally for e primary election law was passed, putting the pri- under legal regulation and restriction, providing that Id vote on the same day and in the same ballot-box, supervision of the same legally appointed judges and clerks It also provided for the use of the regular register of nses of tally and identification. s every reason to believe that the operation of this purge the primary process of the violence and crime that g made it the odium of our politics. It was believed that tior rs would scrupulously obey their oath and see that enforced and obeyed by all comers, and that proach the polls and discharge their civic n or insult, and that false impersonation, r frauds would cease. The revelations of show that these expectations have not been real- s no violence was evidently because it was not he purpose of the violators of the law.

Mr. Wheelan stands at this representative of public decency and of the law which ed to protect the purity of the ballot. His efforts may fail viction, but the resulting publicity and the revelations Jury will have the effect of inducing others to be as 1 as courageous as he.

SIDENT ROOSEVELT has set on foot a movement look- to the summoning of a second peace conference at The nd to the inquiries that have been sent quietly to courts of the powers through our representatives favorable A cdited by the press to all the nations save Russia. ken by the President and the Department of State seems in a fair way to be productive of a great good to the world's »eoples, a congress of the powers devoted to the ways df peace, ir s time of dire need, cannot but result in benefits more of deeper import than those of the Czar’s first gathering capital. his effort in behalf of a second peace conference has a signifi- e aside from that inherent in its nature. The readiness with t iropean councils give ear to this suggestion from Wash- another manifestation of the strength that is ours in plc concert of the nations. This nation has found within the last five vears high place in the esteem of Old World diplomats. To our foreign policy there is now accredited full measure of respect, miration even, by those who hold in their hands the threads national polity. Not only that, but of this tangled skein of rs the United States holds what is rapidly becoming the thread. Our long strife with Great Britain over the Alaskan boundary has been settled in favor of the United States by an arbitration trib When the present war broke out it was from Washing- the suggestion for the limitation of hostilities came and 1's programme was accepted by the powers. In the Perdicaris affair our ends were successfully accomplished without ry to France and with the unanimous approval of the other wropean nations. From our Government came the first demand that Russia rv\'iq‘.her ruling on comtraband—a demand that has been met satisfactorily by the Czar's Ministers. Now President Roosevelt’s initiative in the direction of a peace conference finds ready seconding by our European neighbors. In the consideration of all the elements that have operated to achieve this place of distinction for American diplomatic policy the opinion of Europe itself has telling weight. In a contribution to a recent number of the Review of Reviews, Louis E. Van Norman gives a comprehensive review of the British and Continental con- ion of President' Roosevelt as a strong figure in world politics. I over the Continent and in Great Britain,” says Van Norman, 12 writer has heard the plainly outspoken opinion that the day of the local politician as President of the United States has passed, that America has at last evolved a man of international weight and significance.” Citations from political journals of France, Italy and even hostile Germany record the unanimous impression that in Roosevelt America finds its natural leader along the highway of international relations. Our friends of the opposition who seek to combat Roosevelt’s s for the comprehension and direction of world movements in the U >tates has a part and who raise the cry of ism, imperialism and exccutive temerity may find refutation contentions in the record of foreign affairs during the years imbency. Those years have seen our country placed in the respectful esteem of the powers than it has ever been. two little Texas- girls twho prevented their father’s remar- chopping off his head illustrated thereby the power of juve- 1f the Holy Jumpers should conclude that the climate of Cali- fornia was not altogether fitted to the requirements of health they could probably gain Oregon in two jumps and a half. ESAN FRANCISCOCALLYJ UNCLE SAM: “NOT Good Enough for Me.” COPYRIGHT, - 1 e R RULES FOR HUSBAND. A woman, observes the Kansas City World, may accept a man in haste, but man chooses his wife at leisure. It is | to be supposed that when a man asks a woman to marry him he has decided that he cannot live without her. If he can’t live without her it is certainly his duty to do his best ito live with her. This it not always so easy as it sounds. Here are a few simple rules for the wise husband: If your wife frowns at you, smile at her. If she smiles at you, laugh with her. If she is angry, soothe her. If she is gracious, thank her. If she is wise, praise her. If she is economical, commend her. If she is extravagant, explain to her. s If she sacrifices her pleasures for you, be generous with her. If she is beautiful, appreciate her. If she cooks well, compliment her. If she is lonely, stay at home with her. If she is tired, tend her. If she doubts you, be frank with her. If she grieves, be tender with her. If she is hysterical, ignore her. if she is flighty, be firm with her. If she deceives you, be harsh with her. If she is saucy, kiss her. If she is good, adore her. —_————— Living on Flirtation. While there is no doubt that men understand the art of flirtation a great deal better than women 1t 1s doubtful whether they get quite as much enjoy- ment out of it as the latter do. A man raay, and generally does, get excellent sport for his pains, but he cannot live, as s0 many women do, on flirtation. A man fiirts when he has no more excit- ing occupation.—Ladies’ Field.

DON'TS FOR WOMEN. Don’t stand in the middle of the sidewalk and talk. Don’t block the public doorways. Don’t take snuff in the open cars. (This is presumably for very old la- dies or for gentlemen of the old | school.) Don’t laugh so you can be heard on the other side of the street. Don’'t buy more than you expect to be able to pay for. Don’'t take your babies shopping be- fcre they are 3 months old. Don’t tell your ailments in public. Don't talk about operations. And don't brag. Don’t go shopping unless vou in- | | tend to buy. (Thisgds probably for the comfort of the merchant, though the merchants in this town don't care. ) These resolutions seem rather crude to the public eye, but they would be mighty good if all the world saw them [and followed them out.—Fashion. —_———— Bows Are Still Popular. Bows, which were introduced in the spring as a passing fad, are in great favor for fall and winter. They appear everywhere. Three or four tiny, smart bews grace the front of the pointed | girdle.
