THE SAN FRANCISCOCALL JOHN D. Si’R‘Ef{KEI; . Pl’“l:"f!‘z !l-nngfl_- THURSDAY. ATER SUPPLY. OAKLAND'S W HE water question is again under discussion in Oakland. A committee of citizens has made two propositions, upon \\:’hl_Ch vice is sought from the people. One is to pay the Bay Cities v to bring a supply to the city line, the price being city to comstruct a distributing system, which the ieve will cost not less than $2,000,000, making the total i bond issue $3,750,000, for which the whole city is to be ) the exhaustion of its credit to that amount. g £ sosition of The Call upon municipal ownership of public well known. We believe that all plants so owned should bear the credit used in their acquisition, leaving the mu- credit unincumbered. In other words, doing just as will be ne the extension of the San Francisco seawall, which will alone carry the $2,000,000 in bonds issued for its construction and out of its revenues, leaving the taxpayers of the city and e free of incumbrance on that account. If this can be done th the seawall, why not with the Oakland water plant? The wisest proponents of municipal trading in this country now ept this as the sole guarantee of wisdom and economy in the nunicipal management of a, utility plant. With such object lessons as the ferry depot and the seawall extension before our people, hose in the large cities of California who favor municipal owner- iip of utilities should not go astray. Above all things, this mat- ter should be discussed as a business proposition, in which prejudice and recrimination have no proper part. The City Council of Oakland so considered the matter when Mr. Fitzgerald, a competent expert and disinterested engineer, was em- ployed to report upon the plan which is now renewed by the citizens’ pay " committee. His report was that the Bay Cities Company could com- mand only 12,000,000 gallons per day, instead of the 20,000,000 now reported by the committee, and that the quality of the water was undesirable. The renewed offer obviates neither of these objections. Since Fitzgerald’s and the other reports were made, the land owners in the Santa Clara Valley have begun litigation to prevent the re- moval of this water from the county, and have secured injunctions to that end. The Spring Valley also has claims on the same water supply and has begun suit to protect them. Under such circum- ces it seems a risky thing to burden the city’s credit so largely in a project so doubtful and so much incumbered by litigation. As an alternative plan the committee submits the taking of ground water from the Niles cone. The engineers’ report on that supply puts it at 14,000,000 gallons. Of this the Contra Costa Com- pany already owns 5,000,000 and the beet sugar mill 3,000,000, while he Spring Valley Company claims much more, and private land owners have a share. It will be seen then that this supply is liti- gable also, and subject to be tied up by injunction. In view of all this, i not possible that the plans of the citizens’ committee do not fit the case? In the report made by Mr. Howard for the City Council, a prin- ple was laid down that cannot be got away from. It is recognized every European city that is in municipal trading. It is, that no should embark in municipal ownership in competition with a plant already in the field. This was recognized in the city Cleveland, where the voters refused to embark in municipal ic light and power in competition with a private plant. The made in Oakland for cheaper water rates is based upon the nt that the Contra Costa plant is overvalued, that its water in fact. Now, if this is true and the real value of the is what the Council has declared it to be, is it not plain that it compete successfully with a municipal plant costing fully $6,000,000, and most likely more? When the economy in adminis- g a private plant is pitted against the extravagance and wastc are inevitable in municipal administration, the extreme unwis- of leaving the private plant in the field should be apparent. The Oakland situation is of great interest, far outside the field 1 which it lies. It presents every feature that can arise in embark- on the policy of municipal ownership. It involves the ex- m of the public credit, or putting the cost upon the plant It involves quantity and quality of supply, and most intricate city private watered, a vate plant condemned only for basing its rates upon an overvaluation, if true, means that it can stay in the field. In view of the v of the problem, if the existing plant refused to sell or is apparent that before the decision is made the city will rge its plans and go further to secure a greater scheme is free from the intricate entanglements that are upon the onc now proposed. Let it be remembered, too, that the larger the plan the better its ability to carry its own bonds and pay its own cost.

The only warm State on election day was Colorado, where the ladies did their share of red hot work at the polls and were as ready to fight as to vote. The record is such as to make us fear that woman suffrage, instead of taming and gentling politics, has overcome the calm manners of the gentler sex, and that our sister woman has no more scruples in out-tricking the opposition than we have. Women arc by no means contented in the suffrage States to vote or scratch tickets nominated for them by men. They go to the primaries and do more than their share of persuading results in the conventions. One thing is noticeable: they are not inclined to plump for ladies who are candidates for officey but quarrel over men. In Wyoming women voted when it was a Territory and there- fore had the power to perpetuate their right in the State constitution. They do not as generally seek office there as they do in Colorado, Utah and Idaho, but they are in the show for all that. The latest THE NEW WOMAN.

When the woman militant masters the manual of arms the tyrant man would better surrender his latch key and vacate his seat on the mackerel kit at the corner grocery, lest he get an indigestible dose of cold lead.

She had an odd, exquisite style of beauty, foreign to her class and nationality. While her features were not classically perfect, there was about her face a look of spirituality, of distinction, that attracted and held attention. “I hope you'll have a beautiful time,” she said courteously. “But I shan’t go, Uncle Bruce.” He stared at her a moment in puzzled surprise.

YOUNG HEART'S RELATION TO NATURE. By Dorothy Fenimore The red room of the Bohemian Clud was the scene of a dinner given last evening by Mr. and Mrs. Harry H. Haight. HE relation of the young heart to| nature and the latter’s potency as a stimulus to love has become a recognized subject of study for | the new psychology. The idea that the opening of, spring meant a rebirth of love in the | world is now something more than s | P e | classic tradition, used mainly to identi- | fy the anemone with Adonis, and April| with Venus. It is a working hypothesis of scientific research. It is left to the poet to consider the inspiration which nature brings to ma- ture love. In lilting measure W. W. Story sings the sweet relatignship: ““Life is in its prime, I And the glaq springtime ! Breathes its subtle odors through us, turning thoughts to rhyme. “To its very rim Joy lite’s cun doth brim, Nature, smiling all around us, sings its happy hymn. “‘Lave its perfect tune On the harp of June Plays the while the whole world listens ’neath the plising moon.’” It is with gentle touch that autumn plays upon the senses, drawing soft music from their melodious strings. Here is the song of autumnal love, as it comes to me in imperfect prose: It was cool and quiet in the wood, and this young girl wandered there when her heart was heavy, treading softly lest she disturb the hush that lay there sleeping. She would close her eyes, and think that she felt the shadows on her face; they touched her eyelids lightly, like fairy fingers, and pleasant fancies came and went un- ceasingly. As the unseen world opened more widely before her vision, her heart grew lighter, and the trouble that had lain on her spirit lifted, just as the morn- ing mist rises before the early sun. i Then sounds broke in upon her dreaming, the thud of acorns on the wet, black earth, the birds fluttering in the branches overhead, the tap-tap of the hungry woodpecker, the red leaves lapping deliciously. It was all sweet and strange, and never to be forgotten; and when she turned homeward, the young girl cast back a lingering glance that had beneath its tenderness an ex- ultation, like that which one wears who has surprised another’s happy secret. She did not know that thg secret she had learned was that of her own soul. In this manner come the children of earth to the great All-Mother, to sit at her knee for a lesson in love. With gentle perguasions of touch, and sight, and sound, she leads them in her ways of wonder. Her face is their inspiration. Her woodlands are a very temple of the heart's religion; in the stiliness and awe of them the spirit of maid or man is lifted, and the soul expands to a new * | consciousness of love. The stars of heaven, the flowers of the soil, the wind blowing softly over evening meadows, the sun ending daylight with a burst of glory—these are her text-books and her words of wisdom. } The lady-moon, that pale-faced con- fidante of love, had been identified, by a scientist who is a poet at heart, with the same sentiments of love, depend- ence, and reverence on the part of youth which infancy feels towatd the mother's face. Thus, with every changing season, ! comes to youth and love and sensitive | maturity fresh joys, each one rejofcing in its own likeness, and springing all from ‘e this green font of joy and mirth The ever young and glorious earth.'t SPINSTER'S REFLECTIONS. It isn't half as hard to find a pononv who can give advice as it is to find one who can take it. | A man evidently doesn't credit wo- man with much acuteness of percep- tion when he thinks she thinks he chews coffee beans just because he likes them. ‘When a man professes that he con- fecges his sins to a woman she always thinks he is so much better than if he did not tell her all about it. Reading old love letters is like eating warmed-over soup. It is safest to let them stay tied with blue ribbon. Boat With Cyclone Sail.
