It is bad enough e the departments scattered from one end of must mbu a shack, without having the annoyance of ter added. that the buildings at present occupied are ncy nizes Crowded into such quarters, the clerks cannot work to the best advantage, and in the end more deputies must be employed, which means further expense to the taxpayvers. The present arrangement is not only inadequate and inconvenient, but wasteful and ex- stances they are unsanitary. pensive. Eventually quarters will have to be secured where the several departments, if not estab- lished in one building, will at least be in the same vicinity. The property should be leased for a term long enough to prevent further evictions until the new City Hall is completed. A scattered city gov- ernment has given trouble enough: a moving city government trjes even San Francisco’s patignce. There should be but one more move of any of the departments, and that into suitable quarters to be occupied until the completion of the City Hall. RESCUED FROfl LITERARY DEBRIS. Through the National Magazine the world is introduced to “the most brilliant American editor in our day,” Mr. William Marion Reedy of St. Louis. Mr. Reedy has written an article entitled “San|Capitol and the commodious quarters being pre- | was given to securing more | vs ago the agents of the com-| Yes, they had the| med district to the other, housed in ali| rts and conditions of buildings from a woman's | It is generally recog-| ntirely unsuited to the needs of the departments. | prose” nor metaphorically remove the bricks from S((’\‘CHSOH.S monument. 2. But just one more rescued line from Reedy; it|} was found under the junk of his opening para- graphs, alittle twisted but with a bit%f its temper still left: ‘Business, politics; the law, all life was blood The daughters of rough-in-tumble bar- keepers and wrangling washerwomen married the sons of princes whose lines ran back to the time of Michael Angelo and beyond.” This certainly was a bad mix up. “Death” was “over all” a little while ago and it is hard to ac- count for the roseate hue, especially when we all know that the saloons were closed immediately after the conflagration started. We would also like to know whether it was a fire line that roped in | Michael Angelo and how it came to get away from | him. | “San Francisco Fallen” is pronounced by the editor of the National Magazine as “far and away better, more illuminative as to the man himself, than anything (as an estimate of Reedy) that I could have done.” Reedy might further illuminate himself by giving us an estimate of ‘“Stricken St. Louis,” where one is either overcome by heat prostration, struck by lightning, curled up in a cyclone or bit in the shins by a mad dog. DECREASE OF 'I_‘RADE WITH CHINA. color. The Department of Commerce and Labor has iven out figures that show that the trade of ghe nited States with China decreased sharply in April and maintains that it is still an unsettled problem as to whether the decrease is due to the | Chinese boycott or whether it is due to some other | cause. The exports to Japan decreased in a larger { ratio than did those to China'and it would seem | g R | sale of American goods to the Japanese. Several days ago telegraphed complamts of Con- suls of the United States and other countries ex- plained that the decrease of business in Manchuria and elsewhere was due, as The Call has explained, to restrictive measures of the Japanese at Mukden |and Antung. Japan has been buying since the Russia-Japan war less of our manufactured articles, but her purchase of raw material does not seem to have decreased. Japan has been active in forcing business on China and has been able to do this at the expense of other countries because of her ever- increasing knowledge of manufacturing. It is said on good authority that American raw material is used by the Japanese in the manufacture of articles that are placed on the market by the shrewd Japan- ese merchants as “American goods.” Farming im- plements, watches and clocks and sewing machines are imitated to perfection after American models. There is no way of avoiding competition with the Japanese in China and in Japan when they fol- low methods such as have been described, but for- eigners can make demands for equal rights of trade | in Manchuria and elsewhere as suggested by con- isulnr agents. The figures of the Department of | Commerce and Labor are interesting and valuable | as a guide for future action, but that action will {rcal with the Department of State. MORE COVERED DOCK_S NEEDED. Destruction of the seawall grain sheds threatens to greatly inconvenience the grain and hay men, who must depend on covered sheds to handle ship- ments of the coming crops. “A delegation of mer- chants yesterday visited the Board of Harbor Com- missioners and requested that the docks and sheds of sections 1 and 2 of the sedwall be reconstructed | at a near date. President Spear of the Harbor Board says that the legislative appropriation calls for only $100,000 for the seawall and that $75,000 of this money will be required for bulkheading, not to mention the cost of building new sheds. There will be four hundred feet of seawall docks constructed, but these will not be covered. There is not much available covered wharf space for the hay and grain men and even if the Lombard and Steuart street docks are used there will still be much more space needed. Something ought to be done in the matter, as Seattle is hot after our grain and hay business, and to handle crops in uncovered sheds would be playing into our competitor’s hands. ] | Bourke Cockran has voted for the bill allowing | the President $25,000 a year traveling expenses. Mr. Cockran states that in his opinion the Presi- dent should travel.

He refers to the famous forty-year pronouncement of Dr. Osler and proclaims that Mr. How- ells is outside the rule. He concludes with these words: “I have ueld him in admiration and affection so many years that I know by the number of those yenrs that he is old now; but his heart fsn’t, nor his pen, and years do not count.” The Archbishop of Canterbury on one occasion when addressing the members of a chess club =aid that though he “was not a distinguished chess play he could claim to be a rep- resentative of chess in an unusual de- gree, for he had seeén a good deal in kings and queens, had lived In two castles and was the only living man who was both a knight and a bishop, so that he represented all the pleces except the pawn.” Lord Kitchener shows occasional | flashes of grim humor, using it at| times when criticising subordinate offi- cers. While touring along the Indlan | frontier recently he visited a place | where & new fort had been erected.| His lordshlp was astonished to see that | the fort had been so placed as to be commanded easily from a hill near by. | He called the colonel to one side and | | sald: "I must congratulate you on hav- | | ing constructed a fine fort.
