THE SAN FRANCISCOCALL | G .:()K)' D. SPRECKELS. ......... .. ADDRESS ALL COMMUNICATIONS TO iOHN McNAUGHT . -THIRD AND MARKET STREETS. SAN FRANCISCO _OCTOBER 18, 1904 IN CONGRESS. CALIFORNIA HE most casual observer of the campaign in this State must Tsee that the Democracy concedes California to Roosevelt and that his majority will be larger than the record vote for Mc- Kinley in 1900. This being the case, the Democracy is concentrating its efforts in the two Congressional districts in this city, and in the Napa district, to hold the three seats that were wasted on the minority two years ago. The standing of the State in Congress is of equal interest to every citizen. Every Californian with the interests of the State at | | | heart should ask himself what was gained by the election of Liver- nash, Wynn and Bell. We know what was lost to this city by sending two class representatives to the House, where they failed utterly to do anything for the general interests of San Francisco, and even accomplished nothing at all for the special class they professed They were utterly useless and had no standing even " They were unpopular on the Democratic side of the use and with its leader and were in every respect inefficient and incapable of favorably impressing themselves upon anybody. In consequence the city lost appropriations that would have paid out oney in wages to labor and would have supplied facilities much needed by our commerce. San Francisco should not look at the partisanship but the utility We need a decent immigrant station. The Govern- to represent. with the minority. 3 of this issue. ment has the proper location for it. priation for the purpose and it was beaten in the House by the two Representatives from this city. It would have obsoleted the miser- able detention shed on the Mail dock and would have made more room there for commerce, which is badly needed. The Water Front Federation, with a keen knowledge of the interests of labor in an increase of our trade, has joined the commercial bodies of the State supporting the bond issue of two millions to extend the seawall, increase the dock room of the water front and provide berths for the big ships which are making a commercial conquest of the Pacific. We desire to impress the Water Front Federation that it has as great an interest in a proper representation in Congress that can secure for both labor and trade the measures needed for their united prosperity. There is not a laboring man nor a business man in San Fran- does not know that Mr. Kahn and Mr. Hayes can do the d in the House by the interests of this city. They also know that Mr. Livernash and Mr. Wynn cannot do those things, for they have been tried and they have failed. We will have politics always, but San Francisco will not always have the opportunity to secure permanently her primacy of the Pacific trade. We are at the crisis of that effort now. Strong rivals on each side of us, abounding with ambition and capable of the command of resources that can compel results, are in the field against us. A false move now may disastrously check our advance. As an element of first importance we require two men to represent this city in the House who stand for of our people and all of our business interests, and not for one class alone. The business men, taxpayers and those who have anything at stake in the prosperity of San Francisco can command uation if they will, and elect Mr. Kahn and Mr. Hayes and re their influence in Congress. Going beyond the city to the State, its interests require a har- monious delegation in the House. The partisans of Mr. Bell are trying to influence votes in his favor by questionable means and by for him credit that is not his due. We wish to remind them at a seat in the House, secured by such means, is a seat wasted and cisco that things nee the si sec opportunity thrown away. The fortunes of the people of California | are joined in bonds indissoluble. Whatever makes for prosperity is for the good of all. There is not a reasonable Democrat in California Lut will admit that the prosperity of the State requires a strong and harmonious Republican delegation in the House. They know that the good work for the State performed by our two Senators, and by Mecl . Metcalf, Needham, Daniels and Gillett, has been for the be . They cannot benefit only Republicans. As members of the majority, and representing the majority in the State, their work was for the minority as well. Let us strengthen the delegation making it unanimous and not weaken or dilute it by sending three al but themselves. In this city it is apparent that offers are made to trade votes for the Presidency to help Livernash and Wynn. We wish to ask the real Democrats in their districts if there is any good and patriotic reason why a Democrat should vote for either. In the Congres- sional Directory, where every member writes a brief sketch dis- closing his party affiliation, these facts appear: “Edward James Livernash, Union Labor party of San Francisco,” and “William Joseph Wyrin, Union Labor party, San Francisco.” was indorsed by the Democracy, but both are at pains to describe themselves as not Democrats. They take pains to make it known that they are representatives of one class only, and that purely artificial. The Democratic party in all its history has taken pains to pro- claim itself the representative of all and not of a class, and that is the boast of Democrats who can give reasons for their faith, as it is the boast of Republicans. Genuine Democrats, therefore, can carry out their principles only by supporting the Republican candidates for Congress, who represent all interests, and not one exclusive The Senate passed an appro- | bers of the minority, whose election will benefit no one | Each says he! class. Kahn and Hayes, who represent distinction. We are persuaded that such Democrats will support Messrs. everybody, without limitation or THE PRESS OF THE NATION, When it is taken into consideration thet West Virginia has settled ‘down into a manufacturing State with strong protection beliefs there does not seem to be any substantial reason why it | should jump over into the Democratic column merely because Vice Presiden- tial Candidate Davis lives there.—Phil- adelphia Inquirer.

Whoever sits down to write to her avowed admirer, or to her fiance, should have in advance a | definite idea of what her reason is for writing and, after she has finished, she should know with some degree of clearness to what course she has com- | mitted herself and invited him. | But such a love letter would have no | savor, you say. It would lack spon- | | | taneity. Besides, would it not imp'y that a girl did not have confidence in the man to whom she was writing?

There are, of course, men who would read to others the ietters a girl has written them, in the same spirit that they would recount personal exploits, and, to balance things, there are girls who make a practice of reading to confidants the letters that admirers or lovers write them. But there is a much larger class that is simply careless about correspon- dence. The man who has a rolitop desk at his office is likely to prefer a writing world read, at any time in your life, and under any circumstances. as in the fabulous paradise of the Mo- hammedans, a great dog, Al Rakim, standing guard over all letters and cor- respondence. ‘When a girl gives her heart to a man, she naturally believes that 'tis for all time, else the gift would not be worth the giving.

That must explalf! much of the “bridge” and “poker” | slavery that holds so many women of the smart set enthralled. Posith{ely. it is an appalling thing to consider that women with brains enough tu| play a good game of cards should de- vote five or six afternoons and even- ings a week—aye, and mornings—(ov the bridge table to the exclusion of | social, domestic or civic duties.

The Astonishing part of it is that there is a velvet border framing each dot. This gives a chance to supply a “transpar- | ent” of color beneath the cut-off nat- terns. The puncturing is done either in a dot, a coin spot or an oval fig- ure. This is not so expensive as one would suppose.
