LEECH AND WHITE ON SILVER.

LEECH AND WHITE ON SILVER.
EX-Director of the United States Mint,
Edward o. Leech, pronounces emphatic
ally, in the Forum, for single standard
OF value, and believes that therein lies
our financial safety. Since the action of
British India, he declares that Except
Mexico, whose coinage cuts no figure in
the case. ours is now the only country
buying silver bullion and coming it into
legal-tender money. Mr.. Leech remarks
upon this in these words:
This policy has already resulted in changing
our currency from gold to silver and has
created widespread distrust of our ability to
maintain the gold standard. 1t is not possible
now that barbaric India our great silver ally
has pulled down her silver idol and taken
steps to conform her monetary system to that
OF the civilized world, that the United States
will continue to act in monetary isolation in
defiance OF the rest OF the worlu, ana stiIl FUR
ther imperil its magnificent prosperity and
credit by paying gold for discarded, depre-
claled and depreciating metal. II must be
remem bered that whatever importance there
may be in the use of money as a medium of
exchange, its greatest value is as measure of
values, and that in this respect the United
States has not departed since 1884 from the
gold standard. Gold is still the sole standard
OF value in the United States, both legally and
actually. and the determination and ability of
the United States TO main ain all its money
at parity with gold is still unabated While
the road back TO sale financial principles may
be rough and stony, il is still open, and the
sooner we enter upon 1t the surer will be our
relief from the present distressing and threat
en1ng business difficulties.
To great extent Horace White, the
eminent financier, agrees with Mr.. Leech
in this matter. He has written an essay
declaring his belief to be that while the
closing of the Indian mints to silver has
really acted benefcially, instead of harm
fully. the present scarcity of money in
our country is unrelieved by the sur
plus OF Europe, solely on account of
the silver scare. Mr.. White says that he
can recall no other time in our history
within his recollection, when the offers of
high rates of interest have failed to at
tract foreign capital to America.

issuing and revoking licenses. For years
IL mas been the custom to permit the
takers of licenses to browbeat and over
ride the authorities whenever an attempt
was made to limit license issues for the
keeping of drink places. VIGOROUSLY,
last year the license holders defied the
Trustees and challenged their right to re-
woke or to refuse licenses for such places.
Judge Buckley holds that license issu-
ing is police regulation, and so is license
revocation. That there is no such thing as
a right" to license: on the contrary, it
is mere privilege, within the discretion
OF the municipal body. That q license is
not contract-indeed, the ordinance
under which it is issued specifically re-
tains the right in the city to call in the
license and conclude the privilege at will.
The holder of license takes it under
such condition and is estopped from
denying it.
This commendable decision should en-

good work, and close out the dives. and
shut up all saloons that by private en-
frances are made lures and snares for
women, girls and the unwary. Cities
have the right to protect themselves
against any and all influences detrimental
to good morals, order and the ll-being
of the people. If it were not so, liberty
would mean the right to do that which
Injuries ones neighbor, without let or
hindrance. 1t has been too much so all
along in this city. Liberty has seemed
to be enjoyed only by the lawless and
those who ignore the rights of others.
Unfortunately, our authorities in the last
few years have been very weak-kneed
in protecting the right Of those who wish
good order, peace and quietness. The
hour for change for the better has been
struck by Judge Buckley.

THE KINSPEL FAILURE.
Sheriff O'NeiI Submits His Report
the SuDerior CoIIrr

Sher1n O'Ne1l submits His Report to
the Superior Court.
1t was expected that there would be
another hearing with reference to the pe-
culiar failure of Mrs. Bertha Kinspel's
grocery business yesterday in the Su-
perior Court but owing to the absence of
Judge Catlin no further evidence was
taken.
Sheriff O'Neil. as receiver of the prop
erty, reported to Judge Prewett that he
had sold the stock of groceries for 1922.
He further reported that, after he had
been appointed receiver, he was informed
that one Solomon, a merchant at San
Pablo, had received from Mrs. kinspel
and her husband a large quantity of
merchandise, as well as a horse and
harness and delivery wagon. The Sheriff
went to San Pablo and obtained the prop
erty from Solomon, who protested
against delivering the property. The
Sheriff said he had not disposed of this
property, for the reason that an assignee
must be appointed, and he prefers that
the assignee and Solomon should settle
the right of title to the property.
The receivers report was approved.
The taking of evidence in the hearing de-
manded by the creditors, was postponed
for two weeks.

A SAN FRANCISCO paper comments
sagely upon the shrewdness of the Long
Island girl who slipped off her shoes in
sinking boat, and by the occupants using
them as baling vessels the lives of the
sailing party were saved. The san Fran
cisco paper suggests that the publication
of the story may serve useful purpose.
as indicating how drowning may be pre-
vented where the ordinary baling basin
is lacking. That will do we'll for the lati-
tude and longitude of San Francisco, and
for the girls of the metropolis. The Incl
dent has no value in this quarter, how
ever. The boat would sink if treighted
with Sacramento girls. No vessel could
be saved that was dependent upon such
small baling appliances as the shoes of
our girls. Down below, however, a single
slipper would serve to lower the tide.

arrested by Deputy Constable Brissel on
suspicion Thursday, has been identified
as the property of Fred Birdsall. 1t ap-
pears that Williamson applied to the
Chinese domestic at the Birdsall mansion
for mower, saying it was for a neigh
Dor and would be returned. The China
man supposed it was all right, and gave
him the mower. Williamson took it
down town then, and was trying to sell it
when arrested.

The CourterJou1maL says England has
given evidence of no desire to annex
Hawaii, and therefore we need have no
fear in that quarter. Indeed? But Eng
land never does run about spouting of
her intentions. Her Cabinet makes up
its mind without the aid of newspapers
or telegraphic correspondents, and when
it acts the thing is done. We believe,
however, that there is evidence in plenty
that England has long cast lustful eye
upon Hawaii. Such plum could not
fail to make monarchial mouth water.
mid-Pacific station is, of all things
else, the one great desire of England. Of
this desire she has not been especially Sc
cretive, and, in fact, there is not a nation
in Europe that would not jump at the
chance to gain such footing at our very
doors.

The Chicago Herald is merciless and

THE silver men, according to that
erratic and radical enthusiast, Colonel
Fisk, who created much amusement at
the Transmississippi Congress, are to boy
colt the rest of the country if Congress
does not do just what the Fisk faction
wants done. Among other things, the
pension list is to be enlarged so as to
take in all the Confederate veterans, all
the cousins, aunts and uncles OF soldiers.
and their cronies; then an income-tax
law is to be passed, and the people OF the
Atlantic East are to be taxed heavily to
meet the pension expenditure. All this
is as silly chatter as was ever indulged
in. But then Fisk is the sort of man for
that business. He is remarkable for the
length of his writings, and while a man
of considerable ability, he never knows
when he comes to the place to stop, either
in an essay, speech, or threat.

ROADS AND WALKING,

1t is said that the English women are
stronger and more healthful than our
women, because they walk more. The
English woman thinks nothing of five
mile walk before breakfast. But what
provision do we make for walking in
this country, outside of the streets and
stone walks of the cities? Who has ever
seen woman attempting to walk upon
a California country highway and has
not pitied the poor creature from the bot
tom of his heart as she waded through
weeds, cockleburrs, dust and sticky
plants and over the rocky or knobby
ground.
What inducement is there for people to
engage in the exercise of walking here?
Our roads certainly do not invite them;
on the contrary, they actually repulse.
Thousands of people who would take five
and even ten-mile country walks and
think nothing of it do not indulge now,
mpsily because the roads forbid, no pro-
vision being made for pedestrians. In
France every main highway in the Re-
public has on either side well-kept walk
ways for pedestrians. A farmers wife
can there visit another's without riding:
children can reach their schoolhouses in
a neat and cleanly condition, and men
can walk upon the highway and not soil
their holiday attire. For these reasons.
as well as for others, we hold that road
building should not be put upon the
country alone, but upon all the people,
those of towns as well as of rural parts.
Both classes have equal interest IN good
roads: both use them, and there is no
reason, therefore, in charging the cost and
committing the administration to one
class to the exclusion of the other.
