THE SAN Francisco MORNING GALL has
passed under the control of it's new owner,
Charles M. Shortridge. The new wine is
in the old bottle. In this case it is to be
hoped that the usual result of such a pro-
ceeding will not follow, and that the bottle
will not burst. Mr.. Shortridge has San
Francisco for his oyster, and if he fail to
make his meal palatable it will not be be-
cause he does not know how. He comes
from the best school in the world to make
a frst-class newspaper mana country
newspaper office.
The admirers of Mr.. Shortridge, who is
placed in good position to do the State
some service, will wish him and his enter
prise the utmost success. His promise to
labor to lift San Francisco out of it's very
narrow provincialism, by endeavoring to
bring it into closer touch with the interior,
is undoubtedly sincere and indicates that
he fully comprehends one of the weakest
points in San Francisco journalism and
knows the remedy.
