A METROPOLITAN DUTY.

In an able editorial referring to a recent
statement in the Examiner that 1.-The City
depends on the upbuilding of the coun-
try"-a statement which it declares to be a
sign of change of heart in metropolitan
iournalism-the Willows Journal says:
1.-THE CALL, under its new management,
was the first to announce that it would do
all in its power for the country's interest
by publishing descriptive articles of all
parts of our State. Had the press of San
Francisco adopted this course years ago we
would have double the population in the
great valleys of the San Joaquin and Sacra-
mento."
After pointing out that the press of Los
Angeles by writing up the resources of
Southern California has drawn immigra-
ton to that section, while the country
north of Tehachapi has been neglected
because it was not properly advertised, the
Journal concludes by saying:
1--WE hope to see the San Francisco papers
boom this part of the State. The City
papers circulate all over the Union, while
very few of our local papers circulate out
side of the county where they are pub
lished, and all the booming of the local
press does very little good if it is not backed
by the great oailies of the City"
The statements contained in these words
are not inaccurate. 1t is the duty of a
metropolis to build up the country back of
it, and the journals of the metropolis must
be largely instrumental in the work This
truth has long been felt by the present pro-

A DANGEROUS REPORT.

From a scientific point of view there is
nothing very surprising or extraordinary
in the report of the British royal commits
sion appointed to examine into the effects
of opium-eating in India. The commits
sion reports that the temperate use
of opium in India should be viewed in the
same light as the temperate use of alcohol
in England, " and that fopium is harmful
harmless or beneficial, according to the
measure and direction with which it is
used" Although we are assured by the
London telegram bringing this information
that the report twill much astonish many
people, especially in America" there is
nothing about it that is astonishing to a
well-informed person.
The report means to say merely that the
moderate use of opium in country where
this is the national nerve-stimulant, is no
more harmful to its users than the moder
ate use of alcohol to the people of alcohol
using countries.
On its face this seems a rational and
scientific view, but when we reflect on the
history of India and China, the two great
opium-eaters of the world, we are not con-
WINGED that opium is less harmful TO a
people as whole than alcohol. Nor can
we keep out of mind the fact that while
there is much in the dreamy philosophy
of opium-eating countries that is profound
and beautiful, the aggressive, rapidly evolv-
ing and matchmaking countries are those
in which alcohol is the national dissipa-
ton.
But aside from these considerations the
| report carries an element of danger, in
that it might be accepted by the individ-
uals of an alcohol-using country as a
dictum that they may use opium in mod
Grafton with as much safety as alcohol.
! We know from the very direct testimony
which San Francisco can furnish that this
cannot be done with any safety whatever.
| We know that while Chinese may indulge
all through his life in moderate use of the
| opium-pipe without apparent great harm
to himself, the Americans who adopt the
practice invariably become wretched slaves
| to the vice, sink lower and lower, lose
every shred of strength, health and self
respect, become beggars, vagabonds and
thieves, and finally suffer an early death OF
the most degraded and miserable kind
For similar reason-lack of inherited
/ aptability-alcohol has been the prime
agency in the nearly complete extermina-
ton of the North American Indians.
The royal commission of England seems
not to have taken a sufficiently broad and
profound view of the case, and appears tc
have been derelict in warning alcohol
users of the terrible dangers which we have

prietor of the CALL, and in entering upon
the field of San Francisco journalism be
determined to make the paper a helpful
champion of every section of the Pacific
Coast. That policy, adopted with the first
issue under the new management, has been
kept to the front in the GALL ever since,
and we have now an able staff going about
the State writing up the resources and in
dustries of one community after another,
free of cost to the people in any way.
We are glad to see our work in this direc-
ton recognized and appreciated. We agree
with the Journal that if the metropolitan
press had undertaken the work ten years
ago, the country back of San Francisco
would have had double its present popula-
ton. 1t is not worth while, however, to
discuss the mistakes of the past. The
future is before US, and we assure our
friends of the interior that they will always
find the CALL ready to assist in everything
that can advance their welfare or add to
their prosperity.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-04-29

later on when the great telescopes OF the future
shed light and knowledge on the unsettled
subject Mr.. Crossley's noble gift of a three
foot reflector TO the Lick Observatory will no
doubt be an aid in the solution, as it is
especially suited for the photography of
planetary detail. Though undoubtedly of
superior construction it is not, however, of un-
usual size for rejecting telescope, one OF three
feet in diameter having been used by Herschel
100 years ago, and one of double that size
since 1914 by Lord Rose. The constellation
Virgo represented in the second diagram can
be more conveniently seen by the stargazer in
the month of May than at any time during the
year as it is on the meridian after dusk. The
intersecting lines show the apparent position
of the sun when crossing below the equinoctial
line September 81, on which date day and night
are equal throughout the world.
Sptca, No. in the diagram, is the only star of
first magnitude that belongs to the constella-
ton, as Saturn is only temporary sojourner.
The planet Saturn, No. in the diagram, is a
magnificent telescope OBJECT, with broad
bright rings now known by the recent spectre
scopic discoveries of Professor Keller to be
composed of most of small revolving moons.
Probably the greater number are mere parti-
cles rock size or less many miles apart but
shining by sunlight and each whirling hide
pendently in its own time round the planet
Besides this ring-shaped host eight moons oil
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-04-29

the ordinary type may be also seen, Titan, the
largest being 5000 miles in diameter, or equal
in size to the planet Mercury.
Though not fully as large as Jupiter, Saturn
is nearly double the distance, and with slow
and stately pace moves round the sun in
twenty-nine and half years
While we can at present see the true east
ward motion of the four first-named planets
Saturn at this time seems to retrograde or
move westward, as the earth is in reality out
speeding it in an eastward direction.
1t will be many years before all the primary
planets, our earth included, are again found
within an arc of $50 degrees of the celestial
thoroughfare-the ecliptic. Though invisible
to the naked eye, Neptune and Uranus are also
in the evening sky at the opposite limits of
the arc.
Many think that this mass-meeting of worlds
must have some effect on the sun, the earth or
its atmosphere. theoretically it has; but the
effects may be regarded as impereeptible. No
doubt, the vaporous sun, 1000 times the mass
of all the planets combined, may have few
gentle ripples in addition to its usual state of
tumultuous agitation no doubt the planets
sway slightly in their onward course, perhaps
the ocean may add demi-semi-quaver to its
tidal song and the heaving atmosphere give an
extra throb in recognition of planetary in
fuence, but, as before stated, such effects are
all but imperceptible. ROSE O'HALLoRAN.

THE NEW CALL"
San Francisco Wasp.


Charles M. Shortridge, the new edltor
and nronrietor of the CALL, is not allowing
any grass to grow under his feet. lie is
booming his journal in an energetic, ana,
at the same time, systematic manner,
which is telling it's story in steadily IN
creasing advertising patronage, and SUP
scription list. During the past week tne
renovated Market-street business once OF
the CALL has been an bject OF considerable
interest to the public. Carpenters ana
painters have been effacing the somewhat
siIurian character of that establishment
and invested it with an appearance OF up
to-date smartness that is IN keeping Win
the new role of the sta1d but rellaole Ola
CALL. Evidently the San Francisco pupic
is not slow to appreciate enterprise anu , -
ouick to discern it, for the couple OF clerks
in the ancient business office have been IN
creased to dozen in the newly renovated
and reconstructed quarters, and the sleepy
air of the bygone establishment has gwen
place to rush and hustle that tells It's
golden tale in the cashdrawer and the ao-
vertising columns.
Mr.. Shortridge is quite original in his
methods. and his readiness to let the pub
lie have look at him whenever 1t desires
is a subject of comment among newspaper
men. The general rule among San Fran
cisco publishers, personally, has been to
dodge the public eye as much as possible.
In some offices a visitor has to pass
Gordon of janitors, clerks, etc, before he
can obtain the favor of an interview with
one of the reportorial staff. To see the
managing editor is task only equaled in
difficulty by trying to interview the Presl-
dent of the United States. The proprie-
tors sanctum is as inaccessible as the Win
ter Palace of the Gar of all the Russias.
The new editor and proprietor of the
CALL has changed all this. His office IS
free to all who desire to see him. He has
no fear of the public eye, for he evidently
regards himself as man engaged in the
honorable task of building upa great news
paper on legitimate lines, and as such can
pursue his vocation without being sur
rounded by body-guards or hedged in by
iron shutters and strong walls. He has
the correct idea of the true character OF
newspaper publisher and his proper rela-
tons to the public, and is bound to make
his journal a great success. 1t being
already recognized as one of the best fam
lily advertising mediums in the country,
his task is a comparatively easy one.
