The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-28

State, its growth and display of energy dur
ing the first two years being really phe-
nomenal. Its membership plunged into
all forms of cooperative enterprises with
zeal which, if 1t had been backed up by
wider knowledge and a sounder discretion,
would have proved highly valuable to our
farming interests. The absence of these
qualities, however. in most cases brought
misfortune to the enterprises with con-
sequent falling off in membership. OF late
years interest in this praiseworthy and
really useful order has been reviving, and
many signs point to renewal of its former
activity and influence under more expert
enced and sober direction. If the mem
bers of the coming State Grange prove
themselves equal to their opportunity the
Grange will increase its power for good in
the land.
The San Francisco CALL will next Tues
day publish concise but complete history
of the Grange from its first organization in
Washington to the present day. This his
tor has been carefully compiled and written
by Edward F. Adams, a well-known mem
Der of the order. N such history has hither-
to been written or printed. 1t is believed
that an account of this great farmers
organization will be of material benefit,
not only to farmers, but to all concerned
in the prosperity of our farming interests.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-28
A DEPLORABLE FACT.

The wicked papers still publish the lottery
advertisements and the esteemed CALL says
not word.-Sdn Francisco Post.
The closing clause of the above para
graph requires no refutation to establish
its falsity, nor the opening one any fur
Their evidence of its truth than the columns
of the Post afford. 1t is an undeniable yet
shameful fact that certain members of the
San Francisco press still publish lottery
advertisements.
This they do Notwithstanding the utterly
indefensible character of the nefarious
trade;
Notwithstanding the admittedly fraudu-
lent nature of the business;
Notwithstanding the confessedly evil
effect of its influence upon all classes of
society who are tempted to squander
money in its delusive ventures;
Notwithstanding the drain of money
from the arteries of the State which this
vampire accomplishes every month;
Notwithstanding the open and earnest
protest against the continuance of this
vile traffic in the hopes and the savings of
men, made by the pulpit and the unpros-
tituted press of the State;
Notwithstanding the strong and semi
successful struggle of the Police Depart
ment of San Francisco to lessen the in
famous lottery trade.
In despite of public opinion and in de-
fance of public decency 1.-THE wicked papers
still publish lottery advertisements"
1t is to be noted that not one of these
debauched newspapers has as yet had the
hardihood to attempt a defense of their
seducer. In fact there is neither defense
nor excuse available to them and but one
of two alternatives possible in the presence
of their offense. They must either be
silent or they must glory in their shame.
In the paragraph which heads this article
the Post adopts the second of these alterna-
tives and is welcome to the pillory which
1t has selected for itself.

THE SUNDAY GALL"

A subject both important and interest
ing will be presented to the readers of THE
SUNDAY CALL tomorrow in an article on
"Our Sacred Sacramento River" by Joa-
quin Miller. 1t is timely because of the
deep interest now taken in the subject of
river Improvements, and being treated in
the best style of the gifted author will take
high rank in the permanent descriptive
literature of the State.
w. G. Morrow furnishes an entertaining
and instructive essay on 1.-The Business of
Authorship" which can be read with
profit by all who have inclinations toward
literary work and which may be accounted
one of the best contributions yet made to
the discussion of the comparative vanities
and glories of authorship and Literature as
a money-making profession.
John Mcknight continues his charming
series of Random Notes." dealing with
the affairs of the world with a gentle
philosophy that is at once entertaining
and instructive.
Charles A. Keller continues his series of
papers on Bird Life in California" The
regular departments of Books and Book
makers, Fashions for Men and Women
are as usual full of excellent SUBJ
iects for general reading, while the de-
partment Childhood's Realm is enriched
this time with two stories of more than
ordinary merit: "a Camping Out Story"
by Mary CalKins Johnson, and ''The Little
Dog That Had the Last Bark" by Mary W.
Edwards.
Particular attention is drawn to the fact
that THE CALL is the only morning paper
in the City that receives the dispatches of
the United Press, the best telegraphic
news service in the country. The other
morning papers in their telegraphic dis
patches duplicate one another, but those
of THE CALL are distinctive on this coast,
being the same as those of the great New
York dailies, the Herald, Tribune, Times,
Sun and World. Special consideration is
given by THE CALL to Pacific Coast news,
and in every respect it is the paper that
most prominently represents Pacific Coast
interests and Pacific Coast men. THE CALL
can be had wherever newspapers are sold.
Leave orders for the Sunday edition to-
day.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-28
AN UNWISB PROTEST.

The bicyclists of Oakland INDUCED in q
peculiar and apparently unwise form of
protest Thursday evening against the ordi-
nance requiring them to ring bell or
sound horn while traversing street cross
ings. Because the ordinance requires that
they shall sound the signal "loudly and
continuously" and because some of them
have been arrested and fined for not hav-
ing horns or bells they turned out in a
great parade and in order to make the
regulation obnoxious instituted ''pan-
demonium" by OVERRIDING the requirement.
They evidently overlooked the fact that in
exaggerating the signals they laid them
selves liable to prosecution for disturbance
OF the peace.
The very last thing that bicyclists ought
to do Is to create popular antagonism
for their pastime. Already the harm
which bicycles have brought to various
businesses has reared an opposition to
them and this has been somewhat
strengthened by the apparent belief on the
part of numerous wheelmen that they
have the sole right to the use of the high
ways. The bicycle is so useful an inven-
ton and brings so much more health and
pleasure than any other pastime ever de-
vised that its promoters have need to guard
its interests.
We should not be at all surprised to see
the Oakland authorities next make some
move which viii greatly restrict the free
dom of bicycling across the bay. 1t may
come in the form of burdensome license
or an ordinance prohibiting wheeling on
certain popular thoroughfares or put a
total stop to it at night. The authorities
have the power and will assuredly use 1t il
the wheelmen make themselves too OBJ
noxious by assuming an attitude which
means that other people have no rights
which they are bound 10 respect

AN INTERESTING SUGGESTION.

The San Jose Mercury suggests that all
the speculation as to how the Southern
Pacific Company will evade the schedule
of freights served upon it by the Railroad
Commission may be idle. 'The chances"
says our contemporary, "are that the COM
pany will take its medicine without a
struggle. And, further, it will find that
the medicine will afford it immediate and
permanent relief from good deal of the
pain to which it has been subject in past
years"
The suggestion is as wise as it is humor
Gus. Nothing droller could be imagined
than a hint that the Southern Pacific
would ever submit to governmental dis
cipline without a struggle, or that it could
conceive the existence of any right from
the people to take hand in the manage
ment of its affairs. Mr.. Lansing, the &C
complished secretary of the company. has
already announced that he despises the
opinion of the press, which is the opinion
of very great majority OF the people.
Would it be unfair to assume that in that
expression he declared the position of the
company of which he is so large and able
part? If the company has ever acqui-
esced in any measure devised by the Legis-
lature for its proper conduct we cannot
remember it at present. On the contrary,
our impression is that a considerable item
of its expenditures Charged up to the
traffic and hence to the prosperity of Cali
fornia) has been that incurred by its hos
tility to interference.
After all, why should not our contempt
rary's suggestion be good one for the
company to heed? The company has
probably spent more money and lost still
more through enmities incurred in fight
ing a reasonable public control than it
would have parted with had it been will
ing ever to reconcile itself to the fact that
it should not be above the authority which
created and the forbearance which main
tains it. Nothing under the sun but its
antagonism to such reasonable direction
and the accepted belief that it has used
money largely to defeat it would have
made "cinch" bills in the Legislature pos
sible. These bills are call for money, and
sometimes the suppression of them is ex-
pensive; and yet they would have been
impossible had the company been more
amiable.
We trust, therefore, that our contempt
rary's suggestion may be needed. We be-
lieve it would be better for the company,
as we know it would be better for the
State. In its scheme for reducing ex-
penses to meet the contingency of re-
duced income from hard times the COM
pany has probably overlooked some very
large and important items which need not
be mentioned. An acquiescence in rea-
sonable control by the State would render
these expenditures unnecessary and the
acceptance of the Commissioners schedule
an easy possibility. All this, however,
does not make our contemporary sugges-
ton any the less droll, and it will likely be
regarded by Mr.. Huntington as the fun
NEST joke of the silly season.
