TRUSTEE Devine put tup pitiful mouth
Monday night at the meeting of the Board
Of Trustees about sidewalk improve
menrs, and hoped that the improvements
would not be pushed, because. said he, it
means coniscation of property often.
Let us see. For less than or about $40
modern stone walk can be constructed
in front Of a fortyfoot lot. To put in
wooden walk will cost half that sum.
So, then, on forty-foot lots $40 for an i'm
provement needed will confiscate, will
it? But suppose that there is now neither
wood nor other hard surface walkway,
and one of some kind is needed, will $40
mean confiscation to secure an improve
ment public convenience demands and
that gives added value to the property?
All this tear-shedding about pushing
sidewalk improvement is bosh. If the
improvements were postponed for len
years precisely the same whine would be
put up as is now advanced. There will
never be time in the history of this city
that some people will not be found oppos-
ing advancement and general betterment
ofconditions. We hope that the City Trus-
tees will not be influenced by Mr.. Devine's
tears. He has shed them on two occa-
sions lately. The first time it was over
the enormity of taking the alleys out of
the mud. Now it is in behalf OF the side
walks. What will the sympathetic Trus-
tee find in city advancement to mourn
about next?

ing centers. This reasoning is so obvi-
with it conviction. It is the true inward
ness of the whole movement. But the
community instinct already noted is just
as strong in village as it is in city.
| and as strong in the interior cities and
manufacturing centers as those located
on the seaboard; as strong in Sacra-
mento as in San Francisco. So when
the Manufacturers Convention came to
ask that an adjustment of freight rates
shall be made in such a way as that San
Francisco shall do all the manufacturing
for the Pacific Coast, it is more than
likely to be resisted by other seaboard
towns as well as interior manufacturing
centers.
The proposition discloses the difficult
ties attending the Government owner
ship of railroads. Questions like these
under consideration, if the problem of
their settlement was in the hands of Con-
gress, would intensity local antagonisms
to such degree as to threaten the in
| tegrity of any country.
The simple truth underlying all these
matters is that the railroads should carry
everything the greatest possible distance
for the minimum charge. The cost of
transportation is loss. 1t is q high econ
omy in the sense that it makes it possible
for everything to be produced in the
locality possessing the greatest natural
! advantages. But. Notwithstanding this
consideration, transportation is loss
! both to the manufacturer and consumer
of wares. High transportation through
out the United States, for the purpose of
protecting the manufacturing centers
located throughout the country, would
enable manufacturers to establish an arti-
fetal profit, and thus capital invested in
the employment of skilled labor would
acquire new advantage over the producers
of breadstutfs and raw materials. There
fore when the manufacturers at San
Francisco ask that the railroads secure to
them additional profit on their manutact-
ures, they are asking that there shall be
a corresponding loss to the horticultural
and agricultural classes. In effect, there
fore, the manufacturers in San Francisco
are asking the railroads to infiot an
injury on certain classes that their own
class may be benefited.
When we have been forced to witness
what we have deemed short-sighted
policy on the part Of the railroads of the
United States, growing out of that i'm
pulse of self-aggrandizement which is
inherent in all business pursuits, we
have been tempted to the conclusion that
Government ownership of transportation
was its ultimate goal. But wheu we en-
counter instances like that under consid-
Grafton, wherein mistaken greed for COM
munity growth demands the systematic
interest of establishing policy of do
mestic protection, we perceive with
perfect intellectual clearness the vast
absurdity of placing in the hands of the
Government, or, in other words, at the
mercy of political manipulation, the con-
troll of an agency 80 potent for evil as the
establishment of interstate freight rates.

The Fresno Judge who refused to issue
naturalization papers to Portuguese ap-
plicant because he replied to question of
the court that in case of war between the
United States and Portugal he would
fight for the latter, should be so loudly

other Judges will be inspired to more

WHEN the San Francisco Examiner
property held by agricultural societies, to
enable better locations TO be- made, as a
job, it talks of that of which it is igno-
rant. The bill in question is wise. Here,
for instance, is a society with stock
grounds that by reason of the ex xpansion
of town or city have become too central;
and cannot be enlarged at the place of
present location. [ nder this Act the
proper authority is authorized to dispose
of the property, and with the proceeds
new and better laid out and larger
grounds can be had. Precisely as the
E.cunaiaer says, the present grounds may
have become very valuable for residence
lots, due to city growth, as in the case of
agricultural Park in this city, but it does
not follow that therefore there is a job in
the plan 10 sells and locate further from
the center of population. The purpose of
the Act is to enable agricultural societies to
make more favorable locations for parks,
by disposing of old ones and with the pro-
ceeds fitting up new ones. There is no
jobbery in that. In the case in this
city, the town has grown away beyond
the park section, aud it is needful
that streets be opened up through
the grounds to accommodate the people
in residence sections. The fittings of the
presenN park are very old and must
be rebuilt. The area of the grounds is
insufficient for the demands upon them,
and a more roomy spot must be selected.
But in all this there is no indication of
wrong or of something disreputable, as
the Examiner intimates. It is simply
case, SO far as this place is concerned, of
demand for room by growing city. and
of room by society that finds the pres
ent grounds Inadequate. Having nose
for fraud" is Il good thing, as the saying
goes. but a decent newspaper ought TO
have decency enough to inquire into the
reason for law before it condemns it.
In this case such inquiry would have de-
veloped that where such sale is necessary
it is to be accomplished only through
court proceedings, in which the States
rights and all individual rights are to be
defended, all the facts inquired into, and
then the sale is to be ordered by the
court, if it is found to be wise. The pro-
ceeds of the sale are to be paid into the
State Treasury, and cannot be taken
therefrom for the purchase of other
property for the society without the con-
currence of the State Board of Examiners.

Lincoln and the Peach.

y young lady sends to the Chicago
Tribune little anecdote of Abraham
Lincoln. She says that good many
years ago, when her father was small
boy, her grandfather brought Abraham
Lincoln home one night TO supper. He
was then a poor young man practicing
law in WoodfoTd County, Illinois.
at was = cold, stormy night, and
grandma hurried around getting sup
per. To have something nice she
opened jar of preserved peaches.
Lincoln spent long time over his
peach, and finally left i! on the plate.
Grandma noticed this, and rs soon
As he and grandpa had gone into an
other room she went to look at the
dish. Then she saw that instead of
peach she had given the visitor the
little muslin sack which contained the
peach kernels and the spice. She
hastened into the other room and be-
gan an apology, but Mr.. Lincoln said !;
THAT was all right, Mrs. Perry. My
mother used the same thing, and it
was so good that | wanted to get all
the Juice out of it.n
