will be worth its cost to the country len
times over. To-day it is an experiment
which promises well. a public man has
right to assume that experiments Of this
nature should not be made with the public
money. but an expenditure which Is in the
nature of an investment with well-defned
purpose in view can hardly be considered as
an example of extravaganza.
Mr.. Cleveland's ideas Of the duties OF Gov
eminent are in some respects peculiar. Con-
ditiOns often determine whether or not
measure is extravaganza. An expenditure in
the way of coast Notifications and navy
construction which would have been extrav-
agant in the first decade after the war is
not extravagaut now. The country has the
money and needs the work that is being
done with it. Building ships, casting guns
and creating coast Notifications are not only
works of public necessity but works which
distribute money among working people.
How much of the cost of the Charleston and
San Francisco remained with the builders
in the form of profits Probably not one
dollar for ninety-nine that were expended for
labor in one form or another. The building
OF these vessels may be considered by Mr.
Cleveland as a manifestation Of the extrava-
CANT spirit he bewails, but we doubt much If
the people CT this Coast will agree with him.

ApvICE no BIZ. ELAINE.

Several editors of more or less prominence
have responded to the invitation of the Bos-
ton Herald to give Mr.. Blaine some advice
rs to the proper course to pursue in respect
to the Republican Presidential nomination,
which is said TO be seeking HIM. OF all the
counsel that has thus been given to Mr.
Blaine the Yisest in our estimation proceeds
from the sanctum of the Philadelphia Ledger,
and reads as follows: "Mr. Blaine should
take his own time, and have his own way,
as to declaring his position in regard TO the
Republican nomination for President in
1922
Mr.. Childs grasps the length and breadth
of the Presidential situation. There are so
many things to be taken into consideration
in relation to a Presidential candidate that
Mr.. Blaine may not know at the present
time whether it would be wise in him to &C
cept a nomination if it were offered to him.
Mr.. Blaine does not probably think that it
is a matter of much Importance to the eoun-
try whether Mr.. Harrison or himself is the
next President He knows that Mr.. Har
rison viii give the country a wise and safe
administration if elected, and is doubtless
confident of his own ability to do as we'll as
Mr.. Harrison. What Mr.. Blaine is really
success. Can either Mr.. Harrison or himself
be elected? Ii the answer is in the affirma-
tive, which Of the two will be the stronger
candidate? This is precisely what neither
Mr.. Harrison nor Mr.. Blaine knows. They
are waiting for time 10 determine. There
are friends Of Mr. Blaine who say that they
would rather be defeated with Mr. Blaine
than succeed with another candidate. Mr..
Blaine certainly is not of that way of
thinking. 1t may safely be asserted that
he would not, if he could, take the
nomination from a stronger candidate.
With full knowledge that Mr. Harrison is
an aspirant for a second term, Mr. Blaine
will not work against him for the nominal
ton. He viii wait for the party to call.
He cannot well answer the call before it is
made. Mr.. Blaine is doing better work for
himself in his present Office than he could
possibly do in working up popular demand
for his nomination. He has reached that
point in a public career at which he may let
events shape themselves. If the people
want him they know how to express that
want. He certainly is not going to send
agents among them soliciting votes in the
coming State conventions.

CLAP-TRAP.

Our citizens generally are familiar with
the clap-trap exertiOns Of one of our news
paper contemporaries to make its readers
believe that it eXpends a large amount Of
enterprise tor their benefit, Of which the
following paragraph copied from the New
York Mail AID Express gives fair sample:

takes great credit 10 Itself for having sent
special Corresponds t an artist aud phOjOgra-
pher. 10 accompany tie Presidential party from
FL PasO, through whose services II was enabled

Of rs Misunderstanding puppets with Photographs

So much 70, brag. Now, for reality.

Of he finest lie President has had.
The EJamjRcr was The late Senator Hearsts
Vauer aud II il had been still his property il IS
ia every way probable that its treatment Of the
Presidential party would not have been so bizarre
and irrational.
The ErgmineT probably believes it has a
mission to work to belittIe the present ma
administration. The public, however,
have had quite enough Of its political acu-
men in the support which it gave to every
thing which was vicious in the last city adj
ministration. Probably our contemporaries
are preparing to try to get the Buckley
regime again into power.

CUTTING DowN EXPENSE ITEMS.

In the columns of The CALL on Wednes-
day appeared telegram from Sacramento
which contained statements relative to re-
auctions made by the Board Of Examiners
on the claims Of several State officers, which
has caused some comments. In that teIe-
gram we find the following remarks from
Mr. Waite:
Secretary Of State Waite was asked by whose
authority the reduction has been made and he
said that the Board Of Examiners was wholly and
solely responsible. Mr.. WaIIe said that there
are over 24O State officers and that some check
had to be placed upon them in the matter OF ex-
peuses. else it would be- as well 10 abolish tile
Board Of Examiners. He did not believe in even
Supreme Court Justices charging tips given
paiace-car pOrteTs TO the State and he did not
think 1t right that secretaries or clerks or baffs
Of even the Supreme Court should in travelling
engage an entire section OF a seeping-eaF. In
further proof har there must be some safeguard
In such matters Mr. Waile SAID that few weeks
ago State official had charged for "three decks
OF DIaying-cards and pOker-chips." The board
excluded the items. Another Official had charged
for services for himself and assistant 10 Saera-
mentO aud it had developed that the Services"

Precipitation for his own benefit. He refused to
even give the name Uf his assistant, and his
claim was knocked out. In sun another instance
II WAS ascertained that a travelling officials
assistant" and for whom expenses were asked,
was his own wife, who was taking pleasure
jaunt,
There is no question az to the abuses in
the way suggested by Mr.. Waite, and our
citizens VIII agree generally that all abuses
in relation to expenses shculd be corrected.
1t seems. however, because reductions in
the accounts Of some of the Justices Of
the Supreme Court have been made, which
are for small amounts, that it is sought
to throw ridlcule upon the Board of Exam
liners. No one cares for a reduction of
few dollars, but when officers are sworn to
do their duties irrespective of parties, it be-
comes them to deal with ali persons alike.
The CALL believes that abuses have crept
into expense items, and it commends the
officials who have attempted TO correct the

TIE SCHOOL CRNsUs.

The absurd apprehension of increased
taxes, which has deferred many parents
from answering the questions the School
Marshals ask, has, in years passed, so re-
duced the number of children reported that
San Francisco seems to have 10 natural
increase Of population at all Everything
possible has been done this year to do away
with this apprehension and TO facilitate the
work Of the Marshals. Blanks to be filed
out will be sent to all schools, public. priv
ate and parOchial, and it is TO be hoped that
due attention will be paid to them. The
object is. Of course, to get the full number Of
children in the city of school age, not the
number attending the public schools. II
parents viii help, the Marshals will turn in
several thousand more names than were re-
ported last wear.

IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

The recommendations submitted by Su-
perintendent SWEET to the Board of Educa-
ton are in the direction of simplifying the
course of study in the primary and grammar
schools. "Clay- modeling" will be left out
Of the course for the primary grades and
sewing out of grammar and high-sehool
grades. Iu leaving branch of study out of
the course it is not intended to intimate that
instruction in that branch is not desirable.
The question is il teaching certain branch
is the best use that can be made of time.
Are the mass of teachers qualified by their
education and experience to teach itP
SchoOl-teachers are not expected to know
everything. 1t is unreasonable TO require
them TO give instruction in cooking, sewing,
modelling and all the other branches that
the pupils in their charge will take up after
their school life is over. If teachers turn
out at the age of 10 or Whereabouts pupils
who can read and write, spell and cipher
with reasonable proficiency, with general
knowledge of geography and history, they
may cash their warrants at the end of the
month with the feeling that in earning their
money they have done the public an inesti-
mable service.

STREETS AND SEWERS.
Advocacy of Public Improve.
ments by the Federation.

The Federation of Improvement Clubs
held a public meeting last night in B'nai
Birth Hall. i. A. Hayward presided, and
after stating that the object Of the fedora
ton was to obtain needed public improve
ments introduced T. V. O'Brien.
Mr.. O'Brien explained the dollar limit Of
taxation. He thought the Supervisors
should not hesitate to grant funds for in
creased police protection and for the inn
provement of the parks, other than the
Golden Gate Park which is under another
jurisdiction. He hoped cobble-stones would
soon be replaced by basalt pavements, and
concluded by eulogizing the judgment and
Integrity Of the incumbent Board of Super
vsOrs.
Charles Edelman followed and referred to
himself as the father of the movement for
Increasing the dollar limit to 81 10. He
strongly Endorsed the necessity for better
streets, lights and police protection. as adj
vocated by Mr.. O'Brien, and moved the
adoption of the following resolution:
WHEREAS. 1t being matter of public noto-
riety that this city and county has been laborlng
under great disadvantage through lack OF funds
for the proper and just conduct OF the various
departments of It's government; and whereas,
1t has been deemed eXpedent that the Fedora
tion OF Improvement Clubs should take special
notice thereof and endeavor 10 arrive at a solu-
ton OF the present difficulties,
AeSOtCeH, ludb we are III IdVOr OF raising the
rate Of taxation from the so-called 81 limit to
81 10 per 500 as the only feasible method by
which this great and growing city can be placed
on par with other cities and secure proper
sewage, grades, We nents, school-houses,
police protection and J. shts for outlying dis
tr1cts and other necessary improvements, to ac-
cord with The present and future needs OK the
public.
Supervisor G. w. Tabor pledged his best
endeavors during the remainder of his term
to obtain a trst-claSs sewerage system for
the whole city. He sad he had some good
news for the southern distriet-the proba-
bllity that Kentucky street would be paved
with bituminous rock before the advent of
winter, the contract for which would proba-
bly, be let next Monday night.
Supervisor J. b. Curtis thought the fed
Grafton of clubs would accomplish the OBJ
Jects of the organization. He was strongly
In favor Of the various improvements sug-
gested, the only difficulty being the lack of
funds i'll the hands of the Supervisors. He
was not much of speaker, he said, but he
was good worker, and the clubs would have
his hearty Cooperation.
Addresses strongly in favor of the line of
these improvements were also delivered by
Thomas OBrien, Tax Collector, j. ID. Bart
lett and ID. sullivan.
