NO MORE BOSSES.
B. II. Veeder's System of Nominat-
ing for Political Offices.


ing for Political Offices.
i. II. Veeder. who lives at 98S Harrison
street, has a system for purifying nomina-
tons and entirely doing away with the
primary elections which might be worthy
of consideration by people in favor Of pure
government.
Mr.. Veeder's plan is to appoint what he
would call a nominating commission. the
members OF which could be appointed by
the Governor. or could be a committee from
the Senate. if not the whole Senate. This
committee or commission would act as a
ministerial body and be entirely non
partisan.
All persons desiring TO become candi-
dates for Office, either State or Federal, to
be voted for by the people at large or by
districts shall make application In writing
TO the committee or commission expressing
their wish and have II Endorsed by certain
percentage of the voters of the political di-
vision to which the Office belongs. These
applications must be received by this COM
mlttee without limit within a certain time
and the committee shall reject no appli-
cants except for legal or constitutional
reasons.
Applicants for municipal Offices could be
received IN the same manner by commits
sion appointed by the Mayor or Super
vsors.
The ballot-sheets could then be made up
from the applications received and a clean
election could be conducted with this sys-
TEN Of nominating and the Australian bal
lot law.
Bosses and crooked conventions would
have n fect in politics IL some method of
this kind were adopted" said Mr.. Veeder
Everybody would have a fair show Tor an
Office and the best man would win, aud all
the good gained by the Australian ballot
would not be lost by the primary system Of
nominating"

Wonderful Sights and Scenes in the

In this delightful climate of California it
does not matter much whether a pleasure
trip is taken in summer or winter. There
are advantages and disadvantages in either
case. The warm air Of summer lacks the
inyigorating effect of the bracirg wlntry
air. while the mud on the roads during
winter is not whit more disagreeable
than the dust OF summer.

A Police Court Baiiiff Goes
Wrong.
He DiSmisSeS a Drunk and Collects
Fee From a Capper-Judge
Joachimsen Angry.

John Fogarty, who for several years has
been the bailiff of Police Court 8, over
which Judge Joachimsen presides, is in
serious trouble and it is understood that he
has been removed from his position.
ION Saturday last a ScOtchman. whose
name / cannot give you. came to me-" said
Captain Stone of the Police Department,
land told me that Bailiff Fogarty in Judge
Joachimsen's court had let him out OF the
dock, where he was awaiting trial on the
charge of being drunk the night before, and
turned him over to young man, who told
him that upon the payment of So be would
not need to appear in court again. The
young man was Thrifty Dick the we'll
known capper and fxer about the Police
courts 1t seems that after letting the
Scotchman out of the dock without an
order of the court, Fogarty marked dis
missed on the court calendar opposite the
case without the knowledge Of Judge, clerk
or prosecuting attorney. The Scotchmau
told some one how he had got out ard they
sent him to me. took his affidavit to the
facts and referred the matter 10 the Chief.
That's all know"
"What about Fogarty's east?" asked a
CALL reporter of Judge Joachimsen
Have you let him go?"
Il have done nothing as yet," answered
the Judge, land all | have TO say is that
when man | appoint, aud for whom l am
responsible, betrays my confidence. | want
nothing more tn do with him.
What does Fogarty say about the case?"
was asked, for the handsome bailiff had
been invisible all day.
HE won't admit his guilt and he won't
deny il" answered Judge Joachimsen. II
OF course can believe only one thing An
innocent man will at least try to prove
his innocence. / cannot tell you how this
dlstresses me. They tell me it was job
set up on Fogarty, but why should Fogarty
fall into such a trap il he was honest job or
no job? am greatly distressed over the
affair, Tor | liked Fogarty very much H.
deed. Well, l can't help it. He caunot ask
me to bear any part of his blame"
1t is probable that with Fogarty's en-
forced retirement there will be tremendous
scandal sprung by the bailitf and his friends
Fogarty himself has nothing to say more
than that he received none of the money
collected by Thrifty Dick" bur he does
not attempt TO explain how he came to make
an entry on the court records and release
prisoner for nothing. just at present
it seems rather bad time for the scores of
hangers-on about the Police courts who
for years have made their living by fraudu-
lent means, aided in their nefarious work
by policemen and Police Court officers. In
addition 10 this the ''case-fxers." who could
always get dismissal or light iue for n
small consideration. fnd their occupations
gone with judges who won't listen to their
pleadings. 1t may be that before long the
Police courts of San. Francisco will equal
those OF any other city in the world for
honesty, honor and justice, but there are
many heads yet to fall before they do.

The temperature of the water in this
spring, said Mr.. Dingley, sis 2l2 degrees.
1t supplies us with $4,000 gallons per day.
Our capacity is 10000 gallons daily. and the
other 5000 gallons are supplied from three
springs in the Devils Canyon. Here is
the iron pipe that runs from the spring
down to the bOltling works about a
quarter OF mile away. There is also,
as you see. another pipe which keeps
the baths supplied with hot water.
The next point of interest was The bot
ting works. Mr.. Dingey pointed to a tank
and explained that the water from the
springs, after flowing through the iron pipe,
runs Into the tank, which Is lined inside
with porcelain. 1t is called the warm-water
tank and has capacity of 5000 gallons.
From this tank the water flows down
through pipes to three Pasteur filters and
thence TO another porcelain lined
tank OF an equal capacity to the other,
called the cooling tank. From this tank

tanned at present from gasoline engine,
but the company has fitted up a Pelton
water-wheel, and as soon as the reservoir
which they are now constructing is COM
pleted the power will be obtained from this
water-wheel. The reservoir is about an
eighth OF mile distant from the works
and will contain 100000 gallons of water.
The Geyser water had thus far been
traced from the springs TO the bottiing
works. Dc entering the works scene of

one OF Witteman's carbonatnrs, both going
through the same tube. One carbonator
will supply five bottling machines, capable
of turning out 300 cases per day, each case
containing 100 pints or 80 quarts.

THOMAS PRICE & SON.
The return journey was as enjoyable as
the up trip. On the way down Mr.. Diugley
stated that the company had begun build
ing operations at the springs on October 10
last. and bottling operations were started
On January l. They had now thirty teams
on the road, and EN- loyed about 100 men at
the springs and at Cloyerdale. They were
now hauling timber to the springs for addi-
tional buildings, with the view to doubling
the capacity by May /. Other extensive
Improvements were contemplated, the nest
important being the construction of a broad
gauge railway from Cloverdale to the
springs, which would not only give an I'M
mense impetus to the springs as a summer
resort, but would enable the Geyser water
TO be forwarded direct from the springs 10
all parts of the continent.
An immense amount of money has already
been expended In bringing the works 10
