LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
THIRTY YEARS BEHIND THE TIMES.

To the Editor Of the San Francisco ColI-SIR:
While our City rapidly dons the robe of beauty
and few vacant or neglected spots appear to
mar the signs of progress, and every proprietor,
even of a modest homestead, shows the laud-
able ambition to add his mite to the general
improvement by keeping his property up to
the mark of his neighbor's, there is, in the
Western Addition, proprietor, not of lots, but
blocks, whose reverence for early days or relics
of the past, or it may be unselfsh regard for
neighbors' pockets, allows them free dump
for old tin cans and kettles, abandoned hats
and footwear, dead cats and broken crockery-
for such are the ornaments rendering attrec-
tive the blocks between Sutter, PIERCE, Post
and Fillmore streets.
While the old-time planking rapidly disap-
pears from sidewalks, giving place to neat and
planking has never appeared there, and though

Death of a Talented Teacher.

Professor Frank E. Bradshaw of Vanderbilt
University, Nashville, Tenn, died October 26-
During the school year 1928 Mr.. Bradshaw
was Instructor in Latin in Hoitt's Oak Grove
School, Burlingame, and postgraduate stu
dent in Stanford University. Mr.. Bradshaw
resigned his position in Hoitts school at the
end of one year to accept a fellowship in Latin
at Yale Last year he was elected to position
in the Latin department of Vanderbilt Univer-
sity, where he took his degree of A. NJ. some
years ago. Mr.. Bradshaw possessed bright
intellect, was an earnest, careful student, and
had just begun to receive the reward OF his
unremitting and patient toll when he was
stricken down in his early manhood The
Hustler OF Vanderbilt University says that in
his work in that institution 'he proved him
self master of his subject and thorough
and conscientious teacher, winning the recog-
milton that his attainments merited. His place
will be hard to till.' DR.. HoitU says that Mr.
Bradshaw and his talented wife, who was also
a teacher, left his school to the regret of all
who knew them.

PRIZE BREAD-MAKERs.
Philadelphia New Ideas.


At q bread contest held in an Eastern city
not long ago a milling company offered prizes
ranging from $5 to 300 for the best ioayes of
bread. The receipt used by the winner of the
prize of 500 was Three pints of water, half
pint OF milk, one tablespoonful OF lard, two
tablespoonfuls of salt, one yeast cake and the
necessary quantity of -four to make three
1oaves. The ingredients, which were first thor
oughly mixed and then kneaded ten minutes,
were raised over night in covered breadpan.
In the morning the dough was kneaded ten
minutes and made into three loaves. Three
other loaves entered for. the contest were
awarded $75 prizes. One OF these ioaves seems
to have been prepared in a somewhat unusual
way The ingredients for the dough were
two-thirds milk to one-third water, compressed
Yeast and q little salt and sugar and We're
mixed with enough flour to make q stiff dough.
This dough was mixed, kneaded and set to
rise at night. When light 1t was chopped
thoroughly with chopping- knife, made into
loaves, and set to rise a second time When
this was light it was baked forty minutes.

The mischievous effect of having the Gov
ernment mixed up in banking and compelled
not only to furnish all the currency for do
mestic use, but to furnish all the gold that
may be required for foreign payments, has
days. The financial world has been kept in
state OF uneasness by the rise in the price
OF cotton Normally, this would be inspirit..
ing to business, giving added value to one OF
expectation of cotton. which was counted on
to balance exchanges with Liverpool and
London, and bankers were afraid that they
they would draw from the United States
treasury. Thus what should be commercial
advantage becomes cause ofdistrust, through
the operation of our preposterous currency
system.

HAPPY wEsT-sIDE WOMEN.
Newman Tribune

THE CALL, in speaking of the advantages
California would gain by securing the next
Republican National Convention, says. "Our
young women of California would have the
pleasure of reviewing and meeting several
thousand OF the dashing young business men
and politicians from the East, North and
South. There is no telling how many happy
marriages might result" III the whole of Cali
fornia were in the same condition as the West
side is this season THE CALL had as well have
left that clause out, for here nearly all the
young ladies have been married, and those
who are not are going to be. SO tie "dashing
young business men and politicians wouldn't

evil of which he was master are those in

that the spirit of art is absent from all
such productions. and it follows that most
of them which aim to initiate art, but
which really degrade it, are pernicious.
These evils will persist so long as popular

Instead of issuing bonds for the payment of
deficiencies the administration has issued
bonds to keep up the reserve, which it has re-
peatedly depleted for the payment of current
expenses. In the opinion of Senator Sherman
the fatal policy of unawfully diverting the
gold in the treasury to the payment of current
deficiencies is the cause, and the sole cause of
the present financial disturbance.

Unquestionably the best thing Congress
could possibly do is to provide for the funding
of surplus legal tenders in low-rate bond,

from the extraneous and artificial sources of

TWO SPRINGS IN ONE YEAR.

Editor Duncan Mcpherson in Santa Cruz Sentinel
The Sentinel was the first to cali attention to
the fact that the California year is blessed with
two springtimes, one occurring Immediately
after the early rains and the other about four
months later, when the deeiduous trees begin
to unfold their leaves. This year our first
springtime began about three weeks ago, when
the first rain fell. Since then the air and earth
have been full of the gracious presence of the
yernal season. The tender grass beauties the

Since Tuesday it has probably dawned upon
the minds of William C. Whitney, William R.
Morrison. Adlai E. Stevenson. John G. Carlisle
and William E. Russell that Democratic
nomination for the Presidency next year
would seriously interfere with their private
business and personal comfort. Mr.. Cleveland
may be compelled to bid 1t in.

e-President Stevenson's announcement
that he will not be a candidate for the Presi-
dental nomination leaves no Democratic can
didate of National prominence in the entire
West. Mr.. Stevenson's further declaration
that President Cleveland twill be accorded a
nomination if he wants it, while obviously
going beyond the speakers knowledge or
authority, indicates a very prevalent feeling
that in Mr.. Cleveland rests the only hope of
his party next year.

Something must be faulty in a currency sys-

corner the money supply of the world, and 20

With more gold everywhere available as a
basis of redemption for currency issues, it is
quite likely to result in larger issues OF paper
currency. If there is really any need of large
increase in the volume of money the expanded
gold basis will afford a solid foundation for g.
stable currency structure. An abundant sup
ply of gold will eliminate one of the chief ele-
ments of financial disturbances. 1t will tend
to give stability and security to the monetary
systems and exchanges of the world.
