There is no politics, no partisanship in the law, which all | make and all must obey. Therefore there should be no politics and | no partisanship in the election of the judges who administer the law. | They should be spared the necessity of feeling the slightest alle- | giance to any party, and their obligation should run equally to every | member of the community, to be discharged only by the impartial administration of the law. With this high conception of the judicial office, The Call advises the election of Superior Judges Seawell, Murasky, Kerrigan and Troutt. They have been named by various party conventions, which is made necessary by our election laws, but we invite for them the united support of our citizens, without regard to what political body ; named them, or any of them. San Francisco has the opportunity now, by taking the course | e, to take our judiciary out of party politics, and should take advantage of it. The opportunity arises in the learning, i ty and high judicial character of the four gentlemen we ed. lawvyers and laymen should join in their support, re- ng the merit of past good service, and securing for the city THE JUDICIARY. able and independent judiciary is the sole safeguard of all THE PROBLEM OF EDUCATION. a sound and able bench. HE quality and substance of the education which is being given T:.‘ our children is likely to occupy a permanent position upon the field of friendly debate so long as we recognize it to be the factor which it unquestionably is in the future success and prog- of the nation. America is one of the few countries of the 1d wherein education is not regarded as a subject for the display ot charity, one of the very few countries which heartily and en- thusiastically recognizes it as an essential to national progress and America educates her children not alone because it is | > to them to be educated, but because it is due to herself to have educated. There are of course very many educational problems which present themselves from time to time and about which marked dif- ferences of opinion are likely to prevail. A nation’s activity covers ery vast field, and the educational implements which are essen- » one individual may be entirely useless to another. To discern the ultimate specialized needs of young and immature children is obviously impossible, however much we might wish to equip each one with the precise selection of intellectual tools which he will eventually need. The best that we can do is to see that all children quately furnished with the groundwork of knowledge which are certain to require and in this way to allow other branches of learning to sprout at will from a healthy and well nourished stem. ress w preservation. the are all We shall perhaps ultimately recognize that the object of the school is not so much to furnish knowledge as to create or call forth the love of knowledge. The mere acquisition of facts is a very matter compared with the general mental attitude which the school can give and which once obtained will remain a life-long possession, an intellectual asset to which all other things will be This is perhaps only another way of saying that the forma- tion of character is the greatest gift which the school can confer, be- added | it implies not merely the certainty of a constantly increasing rehensive knowlelge, but also all those faculties which guarantee success in the coming struggle of life. It is a noteworthy fact t a very large proportion of the world’s greatest men have been by no means noted for their learning, but without exception they have all been distinguished by dominant and determined char- ‘ter, which brings with it a knowledge of human nature and an ability to circumstances, which is education in its highest sense. ' 8 ANNEXATION IN OAKLAND. HE city of Oakland is in the slough of despond since the people refused to have parks, boulevards, sewers, a city wharf and de- cent city buildings. It is a hard case, and the progressive folk: over there have our sympathy, as they had our support in trying to| despondency would be .increased if they could see | the comments of the Eastern press on their failure to advance up to do better. Their modern requirements. In their despair théy are now proposing to annex Oakland to San Francisco. To this we object. If the progressive element only could come under the glad wing of this city’s enterprise, those who compose it would be welcome. But we object to reinforcing our own mossbacks with the Oakland contingent that has just voted down a Polytechnic high school and other much needed improvements. We fear they would want to rent Golden Gate Park for a hog pasture and turn the Hall of Justice into an apartment house. We would rather undertake to educate them where they are, in a higher and better civic SPH'XL We cordially invite the disappointed progressists of Oakland to come over and see us and forget their chagrin by a stroll in our park and a visit to the ocean beach, to hear what the wild waves say.

We refer to the expedient of imitating the distinguishing features of some successful commodity with a view of deceiving customers into the purchase of articles other than those which they had intended to purchase. It is hard to imagine a greater commercial injustice than that an honest producer or manufacturer should be thué deprived of the well earned fruits of the industry, skill and excellence which have gradually won a position of public approval. Offenders in this re- spect are usually well versed in the art of keeping themselves just A TRADE EVIL. OME amount of public co-operation may well be invited to within the pale of the law, but the public, by the exercise of a' greater care and observation, can not only secure substantial justice for those who have merited their support, but they can also protect themselves against imitations which, because they are imitations, are presumably inferior. p —_— Those Oakland youths who robbed a vacant house of its elec- trical apparatus in order that they might better pursue their school studies in physics exhibited a commendable spirit of scholarly de- votion, but they must lcarn the co-ordination between nature’s laws 2nd the laws of man if they would achieve eventual success.

Maybe he was one of these waiters who always expect a tip and the bear can hardly be blamed. R S The English paper that declared Tom Watson to be the “alter- nate candidate” of the Democratic ticket should hear from that fiery Southern gentleman shortly. This comes pretty near being the last straw. In conceding Nebraska to the Republicans, Bryan declares that Parker is too much like Roosevelt to head an opposition party. Could it have been possible that he had in his mind his own antithetic quali- ties? . . ROUGH ON THE NESTLING. The Smoke From the Chimney Is Destroying the Young. HERE is a very excellent short essay in a recent quarterly pub- lication on the subject of good | society. Now, of course, there |is ‘a wide distinction between so- | ciety and good society, which distinc- tion is often overlooked in these lat- ter days. The amount of bitter feel- ing engendered by the strife which so- | ciety involves often makes life a very | sad thing for persons who ought to be happy, says.a writer in the St. Paul little better than others, is showing her hand and casting a doubt upon her own standing. For if a woman is a lady she is always in good society. All the efforts she makes, all the low- ering of her own dignity and @empro- mises with her own soul that she con- sents to for the purpose of keeping in with a certain set, are steps downward. But the amount of this sort of thing which is done daily is appalling. So- ciety is pleasant to us all, if it means Globe. A few quotations from the | having friends and the interchange of ‘amcle may be of interest:. “It s the | courtesy which is natural among firm grip, the upright carriage, the/friends. But society in the sense of steady eve, the responsiye smile— these things and their kindred that speak for social distinction.

So there are side puff combs which aid immensely in securing the desired ef- | fect. The comb proper supports a roll |of celluloid, over which the hair is drawn. MY LADY'S SHOES. A few of the new shoes show the toothpick toe. But there is this about the pointed toe, that it is not neces- | surily injurfous. The shoe can be made | so big and so long that the toothpick dces not cramp the foot. | For the house, to wear with ! negligee, the new shoes are lovely. They are made of ooze kid, of suede and of the softest of slipper kid. VEILS. Big dots are seen. Dots match the veil. Gun metal green veils are good. Bluet figures in face veils. Mousse matches hats of this shade. Sheer crepe is worn for drapery veils. Pale blue is in the greatest evidence. Veils are a part of automobile hats. Violet veils are becoming to the few. Only one orange veil has been seen. Face veils are worn snug and trim. Some drapery vells just go around the hat. The three-yard length chiffon veil is | attractive. the COTTON VESTINGS. Mercerized cotton vestings are quite {a study at this season, new fall de- signs having come in. Some are hideous, as one, for instance, which has cross bars of red, suggesting noth- ing so much as Kkitchen toweling. Others again are highly artistic and dmong them are represented very deli- cate colorings of pink, green and yel- low. The basket weaves are well rep- lresented and there are also very fine vestings of pure white with designs thrown on.
