Although it has been generally conceded
that the University of California will have
an easy game when its athletes meet the
representatives of Stanford on the cinders
and turf the outlook for the U. C.'s does
not appear at the present time at all favor
able. Blackwell, the hurder, is laid UP with
an injured limb and Patterson, the jumper,
is also on the retired list. Latest intelli-
gence is that Hunt cannot afford the time
TO train and Will therefore not compete
in the shot-putting events. Henry, the
crack hurdler. is out of the race, owing to
An injury he received on the football field.
All in all the Stanford boys have an excel
lent chance of defeating their opponents
in this years athletic competition.
The Sp0rtsmen's Protective Association

having IL amended so that the Objeeti0na Bile

afternoon by an officer from the Internal

themselves about the matter in any way.
The officer was further told that the En-
peror of China desired that none Of his

Another Effort to Dispose of the

At the regular meeting of the board Of
trustees of the Mechanics Institute last
night Arthur F. Allen. graduate of the
University of California, was appointed in
structor of mechanical drawing for the
institute. in place of David Cummings. who
submitted his resignation.
The committee on Pavilion and buildings
recommended that people having the
Pavilion shall be charged half the usual
rent per day while they are preparing for
exhibitions, ETC., and removing their prop
cry from the building. This was adopted.

ties. These are Two important concessions
made 10 the club.
Librarian Horace Wilson reported that
5S7 new volumes had been added to the
library during the month of March. One
thousand copies OF the bylaws and constitu-
ton were ordered printed. The application
Of Frank Morton. president of the Boys
High School, for the use of the Pavilion

of $50 was granted.
Recording Secretary r. z. Donlan read a
table of figures showing that although the
Institute possessed a membership Of about
$500 ii Is at present loaded down with real
estate and buildings which do not yield an
income equal to the institutes current fiscal
expenses He wanted to know whether the
directors intended TO hold a fair this year
or not. and he contended that something
must be done for additional revenue to meet
the Inevitable expenses Of the coming year.
He showed by his collected statistics that
the property at Folsom anu Sixteenth
streets alone cost them S24 90 n day during
the last year. and would cost them S27 80
per day during the year to come. The legal
expenses for lighting the title last year
amount ted to S540 80, and the feasibility of
selling the white elephant was suggested.
Mr.. Hailidle appointed next Saturday at 3

A Total Misconception.

The Womens Christian Temperance
Unions and Young Mems Christian Asso-
Citations in different parts Of the country are
addressing petitions TO the Committee 81
Ways and Means of the House Of Repre-
sentatives at Washington. begging that tho
internal revenue tax on whiskey be raised
to Sl.5O a gallon. on the ground that the
moral welfare OF the community would be
subserved by "a good high tax on the stuff"
Whether temperance would be forwarded
by such a tax on whiskey is open to discus
sion. Whether the tax would not stimulate
illicit distilling to an enormous extent.
and whether it might not provoke
repetition Of the vast and astounding
corruption OF the old Whiskey Ring.
are also questions to be considered
by these temperance unions. The Demo-
cratic Congress, however. is forbidden by
positive Democratic principle from giving
n moments thought to "a proposition urged
on such grounds by temperance relormers.
The Democratic principle. as announced
so Enthusiastically in tho Chicago platform.
is that Congress has no constitutional
right to levy taxes for any other purpose
than the raising Of revenue. The problem
before the Ways and Means Commit
tee is the simple problem of raising
money for the support of the Government
honestly and economically administered. 1t
cannot put on tax for any purpose OF
protection. whether 1t be OF domestic in
dustry or domestic morals. Its business
is neither to discourage nor to encour-
ago the production aud consumption of
whiskey or any other article. but to
adjust taxation justly and equally at
rate which will yield the revenue necessary
for the honest and economical admlnlstra-
ton OF the Government.
That is a purely business question. II
is not moral reform. but tax reform
under the restrictions Of the Consti-
tuition. Whether the cause OF temperance
is promoted or not promoted is a question
which can receive no more consideration by
tho Ways and Means Committee in the ad-
justment OF equal taxation for revenue
only. than the question whether this
or that department Of manufacture
or this or that productive industry
will be benefited or injured. The people
must manage their own business and look
after their own morals without help from
the Government. so far as taxation is con-
cerned. except as the just equality OF the
taxation promotes sound moral and busi-
ness principles in the community.
The temperance unions which are petit
tioning Congress to violate that constitu-
tional obligation of the Democratic party
are. We infer, made up OF Republic
cans who. like Republicans generally,
have not yet walked up to a true under
standing OF the great political revolution
that transferred the control OF the Federal
Government to the Democratic party for
the very purpose Of destroying the last
yestige Of the system OF protection for any
purpose whatsoever.
