HE people of San Francisco are well pleased by the offer. of the ;& ing, or to conmtribute $50,000 in addition to the long delayed e appropriation to provide a thoroughly modern normal -school ilding. San Francisco is growing rapidly. in. many ways and unless our school facilities keep up with the march of progress they will be left hopelessly in the rear. Ian no respect.do they require betterment more than in the perfect equipment of this normal school. It is en- tirely proper that the city contribute 4 site or money. The State was presented a site at Chico for ‘that normal school, and we be- lieve that similar assistance was given by .the communities where: our other normal schools are located. This city should not be less public spirited than Chico and other places. When the school asks for more money from the State its case will be hened by the contribution made by the city. The le would willingly stand a larger donation than is proposed. e faculty of the school have done noble work, beneficial to the pubiic schools, under great diffi- culties, and they are entitled to a jubilee. e Fd The State appropriation bill will reach the Governor this week, and if there be any doubt of his attitude in the matter it will be helpful to the school that San-Francisco leaves no mistake possible about her position and helpful purpose. We have no doubt that Governor Pardee will act for the interests of the public schools and sign the bill, and he will be glad to know that this city, by its Board of Supervisors,.stands with him and gives a substantial addi- tion to the amount appropriated by the State. g bu 1t is exceedingly difficult to understand the obstacles which confront those who advocate the creation and enforcement of liws restricting and regulating the labor of children. Upon no ground in the .entire realm of morals or economics can the system of child labor be justified. The moral objections to it seem self-evident. The economic objections should be only less 80— New York Sun. 2 Nobody questions the constitutional right of the Senate to declare each subsidiary “agreement” under a general convention a separate “treaty.” Nor g it doubtful that the Senate may, if it wish, so modify and mangle every diplomatic proposal of the executive that tfeaty-making may become almost smpossible.—New York Evening Post. —_— Senator Lodge laves Roosevelt, but does not approve of him.
