HEARST is quite sure that Roosevelt did not mean it| when he said he was not a candidate for President. No| man, says Mr. Hearst, can refuse to accept such a candi-| dacy. Indeed, the call of office is so strong that Mr. Hearst | even begins to suspect himself. Like Roosevelt, he said he would| never again be a candidate, but now he suspects himself as well as| Roosevelt, and we find him issuing political manifestoes over his| own signature. It is a sort of literary competition with Mr. Bryan. | Mr. Hearst’s bid for public favor is quite effective. He de- sires to stop the dllegitimate use of money to influence elections, and he thinks this can be done by law. The Call fully concurs in Mr. Hearst’s desire for purity of elections, but we are quite doubtful of the universal efficacy of legislation. "We seem to remember that our own statute book is knee deep in laws to secure purity of elec- tions, but for some reason the machinery does not prove very ef- fective. Laws are often in advance of public sentiment and there is an undoubted disposition to wink at liberal political expenditures. Mr. Hearst’s bill is full of good intentions. He is persuaded that he has invented an automatic trap for the bribe giyer. He would pay the bribe taker a reward to betray the other villain and would give the informer immunity besides. We believe the plan has been suggested before. We should like to see it tried. The device is based on potentialities of turpitude not hitherto realized in any considerable degree, but it may be that our informers only need the encouragement offered by Mr. Hearst’s bill. | DUFFEY MAKES THE DIRT FLY | UFFEY is a good deal of 2 man. He has a move on and he seems to be dragging the municipal administration after him by brute force and awkwardness. We congratulate acting Mayor Gallagher on his decision to back up Duffey and put the sinews of war at his service. There is a prospect that some- thing of real value will be done toput the streets in shape for traffic. Ve hope that private enterprise will not be discouraged in' this relation. We have observed some indications of petty and indeed unaccountable jealousy among certain Supervisors because of pri- vate interference in the work of street repair. We cannot afford to quarrel over such things. Every willing man should be allowed and encouraged to get in and help. Let us all back up Duffey, the mud-compeller and brick-driver. He stops the holes and makes the dirt fly. THE DUCK DINNER ARGUMENT HE uses of the duck dinner as a lubricant of legislation have been illustrated in the past by the social activities of Mr. Jere Burke of the Southern Pacific “law department.” It seems now that his side partner, Mr. Walter Parker, finds that this form of festivity has not vet exhausted its usefulness, and accord- ingly the complaisant statesmen of the Los Angeles delegation were by him bidden to a feed at the sign of the “Frenchman,” whereat certain proposed legislation affecting Los Angeles in- terests were to be considered with Mr. Parker's advice and assist- ance. The canvasback duck is your best persuader. This festive scheme might have proved more prosperous were it not for the embarrassing grouch cultivated by Senator Charles \V. Bell of Pasadena, who refuses to be a good'fellow. Mr. Bell’s tesentment is natural and has been fed by a series of indignities put on him by his colleagues at the instance of Parker. For be it known that Bell got himself disliked by Parker because he had the lemerity to butt into the Pasadena greserve, where Parker's man ’sarcasm. He did not care, first of all, to partake of Parker’s hospi- P —LOUISVILEE HERALD. »f the association in good standing whose | Friday, former Senator Ben Hahn, had been exclusive political pro-|% prietor. Therefore Senator Bell' was bidden by the caucus to go off and flock by himself, and he sheuld have none of the pie. Parker stood behind the counter and warned off the Pasadena intruder. | Therefore, when Bell was invited to Parker’s dinner to confer with | his colleagues and drink Parker’s wine, he came back with elaboratc} tality or meet him in a social way. and incidentally it occurred to him that a political boss and railroad agent was not quite a fit adviser for the Los Angeles delegation. It was the Pasadena way of say- ing “Get thee behind me, Parker.” Mr. Bell thinks “without any bitterness” that the Los Angeles delegation should be competent to arrange matters for that county “without the advice of any one,” meaning Parker. It may be, after all, that\ducks’are either overdone or much too raw as a-form of | argument.

This is the natural trend of the femihine mind finding itself on a larger scale. Domesticity has been one of the most amiable and beloved of womanly attributes from the begin- ning and careful housekeeping and care of children are two of the hall marks. Civies have to do principally with the cleaning and putting in order not only of the house but of the streets, the roads and the country side at large and with. the laws governing the care of the children of the street, the schools and of the poor. - So it is simply a sign that the womanly instincts refuse to be longer confined within doors, but must be applied abroad as well. 8 e Although many of the prominent club women of the city weré at the State Federation Convention held dur- ing the past week at Bakersfleld, there has been by no means a dearth of hap- penings.in the ‘elub world during that time, and one of the most enjoyable of these meetings was that of the Laufel Hall Club, which togk place Wednes- day afternoon at ary Church.

Among are the following: J. Larkey, Alameda—Buy a tract of“‘lnnd in the Sunset District, cut stréets through the tract and build houses fit for humans to live in. Have free markets on every cormer. Bufld a schoolhouse and a church; then call the place Little Frisco or Barthquakeville. D. J. B., City—Give $3,006,000 to the Relief Corporation and theén use the other $1,000,000 to build a monument in Golden Gate Park to the eighteen Supervisors, as we will never have such § glorious body again. 1If there {s anything left over give it to the Board of Public Works as 'a tribute to them for the fine streets they have given us. W. §. Farmer, Vallejo—Ralieve dis- tress wherever it is found, but do not give $1 to those able to care for them- selves. After all distréss is relieved establish a national fund for the aid of those that may suffer in calamities in the future. Mrs. 8. E—Give a bonus of $500 to all who will build their homes, the sum to be used as the first install- ment toward the lot and house. Bon- uses are limited to those who already have lots and those 0 are so unfor- tunate as to have no lots cannot get help. Give everybody a chance. A Widow, 1717 Eighth street, Oak- land—Give me what I asked and do as you please with the rest. F. Stanke, Ple: imton-—Establish a farm for the needy, then loan the bal- ance of the fund at interest to those that need fit. A. C. Mafer—Furnish homes for the orphans and hospitals for the sick; take care of all of the needy, but com- mence to build permanent tenement houses as soon as possible. Set a por- tion of the money aside for the support of permanent institutions. J. W. Miller, Berkeley—Throw out the grafters. There should be no mis- take in the distribution of the relief funds. Why not let the sufferers de- cide? J. C. Lindsay—Give $1,000,000 into the | hands of the Salvation Army. The army alone knows who needs the money, and is composed of persons who can honestly ald and comfort those still suffering from the effects of the fire. M. E. K., Santa Rosa—Form an in- surance company with $2,000,000 of the fund, the insurance to be for poor peo- ple only and of limited amount to cover all risks where the destruction is by earthquake, cyclone, fire or water. With the remainder of the fund build life homes for the helpless aged.

Mrs. L. K., San Francisco—First set- tle all losses which occurred by order of the Government, then aid the small policy-holders who have failed to get insurance. A. E. W. 604 Mission street—Give $1,000,000 to repair main streets $1,000,000 for public schools; $1,000,000 for a permanent home and hospital for 5 the poor, and $1,000,000 to the widows and orphans of the city. D. M. Wilson—I would suggest that to get rid of the $4,000,000 at the earllest date that it be placed In the State treasury while the present Legis lature is in session. George Gles, Alameda—Charter steamers to bring coal from Australia to San Francisco: erect a gymnasium in each school: buy commutation tickets on the United Railroads cars for re- fugees, and buy school boc’l with the balance. Louls F. Deodge, 1281 Geary street— Establish permanent and Dbeautiful dwelling suburbs; .build cottages of varying architecture, a small reat to be paid toward ultimate ownership, and give a small amount toward house furnishing for each family. Assist the young people starting in life; to gir who are going to be married give a least $100, and a like sum for young men to place in tha bank: mak® the old people comfortable in good homes; build schools in each of the suburbs. P. H. Medley of 11534 Golden Gats avenue suggests dividing the money to contributors on a pro rata basls This plan, he says, has been followed in disposing of other relief funds that have not been used up for the pur- poses they were originally Intended. D. McCullum of 212 Broderick street suggests devoting $3,000,000 of the fund to helping householders acquire furni- ture. He would have the Relief Cor- poration issue orders for furniture to the amount of, say, $500 each, and not distribute cash. He has a plan to In- sure fairness in the distribution, e writes, and is ready to submit it to the Relief Corporation. He thinks the re- maining $1,000,000 will be used by the corporation for expenses before it con- cludes its work. Saleswoman Defends | Her Associates | - J. W. Scott, 7 South Park—Put the fund in the hands of five business men of San Francisco, with instructions and power to dispose of it to the best of their knowledge in benefiting the peo- ple of the city. A Reader—Grant every worthy person | over 50 years of age and every family | that got burned out a certain sum for each child under 12. Encourage build- ing up the population and at the same time put a pan on race suicide. The protection of the aged and children should be the main purpose of the Re- lief Corporation. Refugee J. Smith—Bulld homes for the poor. Supply lumber at the lowest possible price, then hundreds of re- fugees will soon know the joy of own- ing their own homes without the word charity attached. Edward J. Hamilton, Nashville, Tean. Buy 1000 acres of ground and divide it into lots; then build homes, say 1000, to cost not more than $1000 each, to be leased at a yearly rental of $125. J. M., City—Help the small property~ holders to rebuild their homes. A Refugee—Dismiss the host of need- less, sleek, fat-salaried favorites and distribute the remainder of the fund among the deserving poor. J. R.

That is a mistaken fidea. Wé judge ‘“nine times out of ten” not at all. We are there to sell merchandise. Every per- son that comes to us is a prospective customer until they are dead, because we .rely largely upon “come backs™ who remember and return teo buy sn- other time. That is how We keep up our average, how we gain promotion. It stands to reason that a clerk would rather make a large sale than a small one, and would not withhold flne g to sell cheaper ones. It is conceded by merchants generaliy—and salespeopls are given to understand from the b- ginning—that they must not mar Sl sale by showing high priced goods first. Often the customer having refined taste is not in position to purchase the best and you lose a possible sale by com- parison. But often we sell the in- expensive article if shown first, where- as, the sale might never be consum- mated the other way. You can always bring out better goods if required. .“The bride” can RJlame herself for the treatment she recéived. “How ugly™ not a remark indicative of highest eul ture when a clerk does not show the right article the first time. The bride had more to make her reflect beauty of tuought, one would supposs, than the poor harassed clerk, and we usually get back about what we give to others in this world. A good saleswoman is never impertinent. A true lady is econ- slderate of the feelings of thoss less favored than herself. SAL!
