WEDNESDAY...000esassses T is not because judicial courage and virtue are rare on the bench l that the people, regardless of politics, demand the re-election of Judges Murasky, Seawell, Troutt and Kerrigan. The reason is that the people do not wish such qualities in the courts to become rare and exceptional, and propose to prevent such a decline by rec- ognizing them when they have been tried, tested and approved. As the city grows larger and older; and its interests multiply and | their interdependence becomes more complex, the need of learned | and upright courts increases. Time was when the Alcald€ was suffi- cient for the judicial affairs of the primitive community, out of which San Francisco has grown. But we could not now go back to the court of the Alcalde. One by one our Superior Courts have in- creased to meet the necessities of the growing litigation which is a feature of our development. The friction of interests increases, and | patient afld learned judges are required to protect the rights of all. | A judge must have no strings on him. If a judicial candidate | go among the voters pleading that he has favored one class in a} subordinate position, or that he will do so in the place that he seeks, | he may get votes, but he is unfit for the bench. He mounts it with | strings on him, and they are a vicious part of the judicial equipment. ! Such a candidate is in effect bribed in advance. He seeks votes by improper promises, actual or implied, in order that he may grasp the emoluments of the office. Then he pays back the bribe by misuse of the judicial authority, in behalf of those who gave it or of their friends. In this way is established the practical sale of justice for | | a price, 2 condition intolerable in any society. The general non-partisan movement for Judges Murasky, Troutt, Seawell and Kerrigan is not only of great present importance, but it is the beginning of a system that is of greater future importance. It means that hereafter there will be less or no partisanship in the selection of judges. It means that one who seeks the judicial office will learn to rely only upon his known good character, legal ability and reputation for possessing the judicial mind, for success. It means also that when he has reached the bench by the possession ! of such qualities he may depend upon a fairly permanent judicial career, than which there is none more noble nor more important un- | der our system of government. H Therefore it will be seen that each right-minded citizen has more at stake in the re-election of Judges Murasky, Troutt, Seawell and Kerrigan than has either one of those gentlemen. To each cit-| izen the right administration of justice is more important than the ! opportunity to administer it is to the judge charged with that duty.' | inattention to these considerations, affecting an impartial v, California is far behind the older States. In New York is provided in the law that there can be an impartial judiciary, ree from the strings of partisanship, from the courts of first instance to those of last resort. Right in the midst of the present campaign Republican Governor of that State has appointed an eminent ist and Democrat to the vacancy on the bench of the Court of Appeals caused by the resignation of Judge Parker. Even in the New England States, that have long been one-sided politically, Dem- ocrats are appointed to the bench. In the Federal courts the same course is followed. President Harrison appointed Judge Jackson of Tennessee, a Democrat, to a Federal district judgeship, and Presi- dent Roosevelt has done the same with Judge Jones of Alabama, a Democrat. Why should not the people of San Francisco follow these high and excellent examples? Why should any man here vote for a ju- dicial candidate simply because he is on the party ticket, thereby retiring from the bench an incumbent who has proved himself worthy? It is the ripe judgment of the best American thinkers that the integrity of our government and the perpetuation of our insti- tutions depend upon our judiciary. This being so, why should our choice of judges be influenced by the passions of partisanship, or by vicious appeals to the prejudices of any section of the community? | Fortunately the majority of the newspapers in San Francisco see | aiike in this grave matter, and it will not be their fault if the city | fail to improve the present opportunity to inaugurate a reform tha't‘ will purge the judiciary of all suspicion of holding other obligations | than to the law. The re-election of Judges Murasky, Seawell, Troutt | and Kerrigan will immeasurably elevate and dignify the bench, and | will be an honor to the city and a guide to the State. | VOTE FOR THE SEAWALL. papers, with much ill nature, declares that the wall is for the benefit of San Francisco, therefore let San Francisco pay for it. This shows | 2 density of mind that is distressing. It is on a par with the opposi- | tion to the new ferry building, because it would be used by the | Southern Pacific railroad. - Then we heard in various quarters hoti objection to taxing the people to build a depot for the Southern Pacific, when in fact the proposition was to get authority to tax the | Southern Pacific and all other tenants of the new building higher | than they were taxed for the use of the old building. * i San Francisco has no more interest in the seawall than the| State has. The people are merely asked to vote authority for the | commerce of this city to build the seawall and pay for it. The wall | is needed to accommodate California’s increasing sea trade. Its| construction will not cost the taxpayers a single dollar in taxes, for the commerce that uses the new wall and docks will pay for their construction. Already we have great Paific liners that can hardly poke their noses into our existing docks. They must have adequate | berths and are willing to pay for them when the new seawall per-| mits their construction. So we may say broadly to objectors in | Southern California that all San Francisco is asking is authority | from the voters to complete her seawall, enlarge her dock and wharf | room and pay for it herself out of her commerce. That is the fact| and we hope it will penetrate the density and darkness of some of | the Southern California newspapers. ‘ to conjure with both in the affairs of the State of Colorado and in the broader money marts of the world, is made the| subject of a handsomely illustrated booklet, which has been pro- duced by the Cripple Creek Times and distributed in the interests of the world’s greatest gold camp. In this comprehensive review of | the present condition of Colorado’s great mining center its assets in wealth at hand and treasure yet uncovered, there is given likewise a detailed account of the labor troubles that have been rife in the dis- trict until the recent restoration of order by the citizens them- selves. ; Though this history of the strife between the Miners’ Federation and the mine-owners has a strong partisan flavor, the facts therein set forth give an illuminating review of past and present conditions in the labor situation. A short history of the development of the Cripple Creek mines, together with many clearly reproduced half- tone cuts of the properties in question, make the Times’ booklet one of considerable value. { i i E are surprised that some of the papers in Southern California | have developed opposition to the measure for completing the | | CRIPPLE CREEK EXPLOITED.

NEW FASHION SUGGESTIONS OFFERED THE GENTLER SEX L in embroidering white linen collar and belt sets. Lace ruffles trim the top of the latest opera bags. Dainty little girdles are made of pom- padour silk shirred back and front. It is predicted that large picture hats and decollete gowns will be worn to- gether to the opera this winter. The full plaited skirt, stitched down over the hips for about six or eight inches, is the approved model. Some charming shades of red in the mulberry hue are shown. Two or three kinds of lace are used on the one gown. A great many plum-colored tailored suits are worn with violet and blue hats. Bolero jackets must cling close to the figure. Calfskin collars and cuffs are worn on velvet coats.

Embroidery consisting of a mono- gram, initials or favorite flower enters into the decorative scheme of the most exclusive fashionable lingerie. Silk batiste and mull in white or pale, delicate colors are used to make very dainty, filmy corset covers. The latest beadings for the ribbons of underwear display the ribbons to much greater advantage than those of former vogue. The new chemises show a tendency to much greater fullness in the middle back, especially where they are intend- ed to be worn as corset-cover and un- derskirt. The daintiest belts are those decorat- ed with handsome buckles of new de- sign. There was never such a beautiful display of amber combs and hair or- naments as now, and although the blonde is considered passe, it is for her these are made.

It takes a woman to say “dear” in a tone that makes it sound like a cuss word. In lots of homes the family skeleton sits at the foot of the table and does The difference between a skin and a complexion is that you can get the latter at a drug store. Lots of women would like to be un- happily married so that they would be like the heroine of one of those tear- ful novels. When a pretty girl is careful to pull her skirts down so that her feet won't show it is a sign that she has on an old pair of shoes. There are lots of old bachelors who would charge at the belching cannon’s mouth who will tremble at the ap- proach of a baby. If a girl wears less than a number two shoe you are sure to find it out within an hour after vou have first been introduced to her. I know of no situation calling for more real heroism than when a fel- low pulls the baby's “pacifier” out of his pocket by mistake in a crowd. A fellow may be said to be thor- low the baby to pull his hair at 4 ting mad about it. ‘A man doesn’t realize his own unim- portance until he has attended a meet- when he finds out that he is only “Mrs. So-and-so's husband.” — Woman's Magazine. SOME 600D RECIPES. Cheese Salad—Mash the yolk of a hard boiled egg, add a tablespoonful of olive oil and rub smooth. Add a level teaspoon of salt and a saltspoon of white sauce and mix well. Grate a quarter pound of good cheese, add a ta- blespoon of terragon vinegar and the seasoned egg, and serve in paper cups with lettuce sandwiches. Grape Catsup—Cook flve pounds of ripe grapes with a little water until five cups of sugar, two cups of vinegar, one level teaspoonful each of cinnamon, cloves, allspice and black pepper and salt. If this is not spiced emough to suit the taste add a little more of all kinds in the same proportion. Cook to- gether until thickened, then seal in bot- tles or jars. Chicken Fricasse—Have the chicken disjointed and cook until nearly done; then drain from the broth. Put one- half cup of butter in a frying pan and fry the chicken urtil brown. Pour the lowing one level teaspoon of flour to each cup of broth. Put the chicken into a deep dish and pour the gravy over. Radish and Cucumber Salad—Arrange | -+ A FIGURE OF SPEECH. You've noticed. perhaps, how the poet Refers to his love as a “flower,™ Refers to her eyes as “the uncurtained skies,” And her suburban flat as a “bower.” *Tis a figure of speech, says the poet, Which goes by a road roundabout, *Tis a phrase made by guess, with intent to express A different meaning, no doubt. You've noticed, perhaps, how the poster Says “Musical Comedy Hit,” Though the music is rare, and the hit isn’t there, And the comedy’s glum as the pit. 'Tis a figure of speech, says the poet, which all branches of Art may possess, A riddle that's made for the use of the trade, Though the answer's a hard one to guess. You've noticed, perhaps, how the heeler, In raking for votes fore and aft, Refers to “the laws,” “the flag,” and “the cause,” Though the gist of his meaning is “graft.” 'Tis a figure of speech, says the poet, From a handy political spout, ‘Which, if people would take at its value would make Another impression, no doubt. You've noticed. perhaps, how the Bishop Refers to a tavern immune, “Where workmen may meet and be kept off the street,” ‘What he really means is “saloon.” 'Tis a figure of speech, says the poet, A Bishop's high hobbles to tag; If we visit his “Joint” just to argue the point, ‘We will go home convinced—with a jag. —Wallace Irwin in New York Gilobe. ANSWERS TO QUERIES. OPINIONS—A. K., Oakland, Cal The purpose of the department of an- swers to the queries is to furnish facts to correspondents, not to express opinions on any subject. For that reason the question as to whether something that is good for Los An- geles would be good for San Francisco is not answered. FURNITURE—J. A. R, City. If a party purchases an article of furnitures with the understanding that it is to be of a certain quality, receives it, finds that it is not up to specifica~ tion, accepts the same and pays a stipulated amount in part payment, the party would undoubtedly have no recourse at law and would have to pay the balance.
