then he turned The building and loan contract
over TO his purchaser for fulflment. The re-
suit OF his plunging methods was eventual fall-
ure, then he absconded, leaving many unset
tied accounts.
The evil OF this system, so far as the building
and loan associations are concerned, consisted
in loaning too large amounts on these proper
ties and looking for payments 10 irresponsible
parties. In number of cases these contracts
were defaulted by parties purchasing. and the
associations were obliged 10 take the proper
ties by foreclosure or compromise. They VIII
thus be obliged to stand the loss Of idle or par
tally idle, capital until they can dispose of the
properties in question, and must then suffer
probable shrinkage in values.
Commenting on this the commissioners
suggest to Governor Markham that it be
placed out OF the power of directors of
these concerns to play havoc with the
funds of their own societies. Meanwhile
the fact remains that the Yerba Buena
Building and Loan Association is in a
very bad fix. and that tn inks for this
state of affairs are due to ex-president
Lander. Attorney General Hart will

A RARE CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT
Candidate c. s. Young Is the
Author of 1t.
COCKTAILS IN THE PRIMARIES.
Little Toddlers May Soon Have Ad.
vantages of Which Their Parents
Never Dreamed.

Charles S. Young, Republican candidate
for Superintendent of Public Instruction.
has written a circular letter to the saloon
men calling upon them to rally to his sup
port.
Should he be elected will the burning
question be: Shall a course in barkeep-
ing be made part of the public school cur
riculum in San Francisco?
In that case, will the insidi0uS morning
cocktail, the wonderful gin sling and the
cider stone fence be made the foundation
stones of liberal education?
Will it. Mr.. Charles Sumner Young?
The public is waiting breathlesslT for
YOUR answer-f0r the answer of the candi-
date who points out what an interest the
saloon men take in the public schools.
After that, you know. the dear people are
really prepared for any announcement You
may wish to make.
viii it be the cocktail, or the sling, or
the fence. or all three? Come, now, be
good fellow-don't keep the public wait
ing.
You take a great interest in kindergar-
tens, too, don't you. Mr.. Young? Atleast
you said you did at meeting the other
night. And mental and moral training.
Not saloon man in town takes more in
terest in kindergartens than you do, You
modest little rascal-and you know it.
How nice it will be If your letter takes
the proper effect. Just think what a
charming picture it would make If all the
local mixologists and all the pupils of the
kindergartens ioined hands some bright
afternoon in "Ring-Around-a-R Rosy" the
way you used to play when you were a
boy. See them now in your minds eye
madly cIrcling around you standing 10 the
center. See the curly headed toddling lit
tie ones hand in hand with the bllowy
mixologists. A grand picture indeed.
You just bet it would be grand.
Look at the advantages, too, of this con-
