A STRONG CIRCULAR.

Yang Yu, the Chinese Minister at Wash
ington, has issued another circular against
the Chinese boycotters, this time init
mating that if they dc not desist they will
be arrested and sent back to China. His
Excellency does not say who is to do the
arresting and deporting, but we assume
that the Chinese themselves will relieve
the American authorities of that unpleas-
ant duty, as they relieve them of the task
of enforcing our laws against them.
A great mistake made by American
officers is that they regard the Chinese as
so alien as not properly amenable to all
American laws. Thus, Chinese opium
dens flourish openly, polygamy is COM
mon, the buying and selling of slaves is
practiced with hardly an effort at conceal
ment, and boycott. the most extensive
ever organized on American soil, is per-
mitted to flourish without the slightest
attempt to suppress it. In other words,
the Chinese have more freedom in Amer
lea than is enjoyed by immigrants from
any other country in the world and they
set aside and openly violate our laws with
an impunity that would not be tolerated
in any American citizen. About the only
check which our authorities place on their
immortality and lawlessness is to prohibit
lottery games.
The Chinese present the only illustration

AN UNTIMELY DEATH.

The sudden death of James G. Kennedy
last evening has shocked the community;
particularly that part of it interested in
educational matters. After many years of
the most efficient work he secured an
approximate recognition of his eminent
worth when he was appointed recently to
the principalship of the San Francisco
Normal School. He had already earned
distinction as the organizer of the Cogs-
well Polytechnic School, and as he was
cut down in his prime it was more than
likely that brilliant career in the highest
walks of education might have been his.
There was nothing in the appearance
and manner of this remarkable man sug-
gestive of the typical sehoolmaster. He
was bluff, hearty, straightforward, dis
tinctively man of the world in the sense
OF his close relations with the virile forces
which move the people. His energyswas
untiring, his spirit rugged and masterful
mainly at large. His power in the control
and direction of boys and young men
particularly was uncommonly great Be-
hind the merry twinkle of his eye and his
hearty good cheer with the thousands of
lads who passed under his discipline was
a firmness that enforced absolute obedi-
ence of kind which had something OF
awe and more of respect and affection
1t is hardship to lose teachers SO mas
culine and strong, so kindly and just and
SO able to command. inspire and instruct
the young. In these uncommon qualities
he was model for all men in his profess
sion
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-24

in the history OF this country OF powerful
secret organizations formed for the pur-.
pose of administering foreign laws on our
soil and for overreacbjng and preventing
the operation of lows which we have
framed for the conddct of all who come to
make this their home. The situation Is SO
extraordinary that it seems incredible.
The excuse for permitting such condi-
ton of affairs is that the Chinese are so
secretive and inscrutable that wrongdoipg
among them is better held in check by
their organized companies than would be
possible under the enforcement of Ameri-
can laws. Even admitting this to be true
it acknowledges lack of efficiency on the
part of the authorities and proclaims the
weakness of our laws.
We do not believe that either OF these
assumptions is correct, and we do believe
that it is not only disgraceful, but PERM
cious, to permit such condition of affairs
to exist. If, however, it is all true, that is
the best and final reason for the total ex-
pulsion of the race from this country. We
have no room for people who scorn US
and our laws and who are organized Sc
cretly to undermine the practices and prin.
ciples which we have found necessary to
the proper conduct of our affairs.

A SPLENDID BOULEVARD.

After a struggle extending over num-
Der of years the people of Oakland have at
last begun in earnest the construction of
the boulevard circumscribing Lake Merritt.
One-fourth of the work has been done, and
the indications are that it will proceed
steadily to completion. The road is a
finely macadamized affair, 200 feet wide,
with drains, sewers and sidewalks. When
properly completed it will be the most at
tractive driveway in this part of the State.
But the construction of the road will by
no means complete the work. The shores
of the lake at present are practically bare
of verdure. Until the boulevard is lined
from end to end with handsome trees and
Towering shrubs it will not be what it
might. The famous shell road of Mobile
passes out of the city and follows the shore
of Mobile Bay. tits a macadamized road.
but instead of broken rock oyster shells
were employed, and all repairs are still
made with that material. AS a conse-
quence the roadway is perfectly clean, and
that is very strong recommendation.
Mud is impossible on a she'll road, and
what little dust there may happen to be
at times does not soil the whitest fabric.
Mud is almost a necessary accompaniment
of ordinary macadam. A shell road being
porous, dries instantly, but there is SUI
hcient natural cement IN the shells to pre-
vent grinding into dust. 1t seems strange
that shells have never been employed here
about.
The great glory of the Mobile shell road
is its empowering magnolias. These were
planted on either side. They are more
than hundred feet high and their
branches are interlaced overhead. From
these depend graceful festoons of Spanish
moss, and when the trees are in blossom
delicious pervading fragrance completes
the charm.
There are several varieties of the mag
nolia, but those best known are evergreen,
and that would be a drawback in this
climate. The conditions of soil about Lake
Merritt will determine to certain extent
what trees should be planted, but it is
hoped that the mistake of lining the boule-
ward with dense evergreen trees will be
avoided. Cypress, pine and eucalyptus,
for which many Californians seem to have
violent fondness, should be avoided as
the plague.
Undoubtedly the intelligent people of
Oakland are familiar with all these facts,
but they will likely have need to exercise
their intelligence. This should be made
the noblest driveway in California, but
that cannot be accomplished by haphazard
methods As rule the governing bodies
of cities are not expert in arboriculture,
and the great difficulty is to convince
them of the fact.

full farmers will be only those who are broadly
educated, and thatif the product of the small
farm will not justify the expense of this lufor-
mation-and it will not-there remains but the
alternative OF the combination OF farmers to
secure 1t at the common expense for the bene-
fit of all or the gradual absorption OF the small!
farms by the strongest and the extinction OF
the small farmer, who will sink into the condi-
ton of dependent.
We are inclined to believe that Mr.. Adams
gloomy conclusions are not justified by the
actual situation. There is mucn truth in his
statement that eve Ghe farmers) do not meet
and learn from each other as residents OF cities
do nor do We have such opportunities as they
to meet with the most eminent of other
classes or to learn from books the experience
OF Others" But it is not so apparent as he
would have US believe that farmers have
lost ground in the race of life by reason of
their isolation, nor that they will continue
to lose ground. The American farmer, we be-
lieve, has steadily advanced, lis pace being
commensurate with the advancement in manu-
factural and commercial lines. He is better
housed, better fed and better clothed than
formerly. He works less and produces more. He
and his family are surrounded with every mate
rial comfort. His children receive public school,
High school and college edueations The rail-
road makes it possible for him to mlngle
frequently with the business and professional
men of the cities and villages. In the Grange
and kindred organizations he finds social COM
munion and opportunity to learn much that is
magazines and books. He is no longer iso-
lated. He has become somewhat of q cos
mopolte. and In the streets OF the large city he
is as much at home as in his grain field or Or
chard.
This is not retrogression; it is a tremendous
gain. But there is still much for him to learn
and much for him to do. In our own State, for
example, he must acquire better business
methods. AS the Stockton Mail recently said,
in discussing the subject of wheat and the ne
cessity of the farmer awaiting himself of OPP
portunities which he has heretofore ignored
'fthe arrival on this coast every month of eggs
and poultry in carload lots from the East
shows that he is allowing the farmers west
him in one branch of his industry. The large
receipts of meat products by railroad from Chi
cago, st. Louis and Kansas City prove that he
is not holding his ground in another. Cali
fornia imports annually over million dollars
worth of Eastern hams and bacon. 1t is safe
to assert that many OF these hams will be found
in the larders of our California farmers. These
are among the small Things where they show
themselves to be careless of their incomes"

PRACTICALLY UNANIMOUS.

The long list of interviews with promi-
nent real estate dealers published in yester-
days CALL shows that the men whose
special study it is to watch the interests of
City property and the general welfare
of the community are unanimously OPP
posed to the proposed ordinance prohibit
ing the erection of buildings more than
100 feet in height. AS the proposition so
to limit the height comes too late to affect
the plans for the erection of ffteen-story
building for THE CALL, this paper cannot be
charged with private interest in the ques-
ton. For that matter, as The CALLS build
ing would be the last ofsuch structures and
would be the highest and handsomest in
the City, it might be expected that we
would favor the ordinance for selfish rea-
sons. We trust, however, that it is sutfi-
GENTLY well known by this time that The
CALL is incapable of cherishing a selfish
interest where the good OF the City is con-
cerned.s 1t would be publishing lottery adj
vertisements if it were.
This whole question of high buildings has
been so thoroughly discussed in Eastern
merely threshing old straw to revive the
gretted is that the progressive people of
the East, whom we are trying to bring to
California, may take this proposition as an
evidence OF our silurianism. 1t must be
discouraging, particularly to the Half
million Club and the other organizations
which are working so hard to build up the
State and City, to see even a mention of
such a proposition. Now is the time above
all others for showing what progressive
ness we have.
Some years ago the Supervisors adopted
an ordinance prohibiting the erection of
wooden houses over sixty feet in height
Even that height is dangerous, but under
that ordinance we are at liberty to erect
these deathtraps at will in the regions lying
outside the fire limits. And they are being
constantly erected. AS the fire limits are
extremely restricted, some OF the most de-
sirable sections of the City are filling up
with these dangerous structures. The life
of a wooden house runs from twenty to
forty years. Hence, whatever extension of
the fire limits may be made in the next
two or three decades, these dreadful struct-
ures will stand as a. bar to the proper de-
velopment of the City. However safe a
fireproof building may be, no one cares to
erect one alongside or anywhere in the
vicinity of one of these dangerous infam-
mable structures.
It is not conceivable that the proposed
ordinance will be passed. If it is it will
complete the work begun by the ruinous
tax levy, and it might be as well to sit
down and wait fifty years longer for the
advent of enlightenment.

A. DISASTROUS FIRE.

The fire in the Santa Cruz Mountains has
done its worst havoc in assailing the grove
of big trees eight miles from Santa Cruz.
The accounts indicate the destruction or
ruinous Gripping of these noble creations,
as it is related that the flames scared above
their SUBMITS, over 800 feet high. This
was the most remarkable group of Sequoia
empervirens in California, and if it is de-
stroyed the State has suffered a serious
loss.
These were not specimens of the true
"big tree" of California. That is the
Sequoia gigantea, and is found only in the
high Sierra. But they were ma jestic trees
withal, more wonderful than any others in
America besides the true t'big trees; and
besides that they had a historical associa-
ton of especial value. 1t was here that
fremont made his headquarters in the
early days of California's struggles for in
dependence from Mexico. In the hollow
butt of one of these mammoths family
lived in the days gone by, and the ancient
windows cut through the shell of the liv-
ing tree still exist to show how the light
entered to greet the baby born within.
1t has been so recently that THE CALL
made plea for the preservation by State
interference of the redwoods that this ter
rible fire seems to come as an opportune
threat to give force to our admonitions.
There are many other redwood forests and
some isolated giants among them which
could compare with those at FELTON,, but
there is no other compact group of trees so
tremendous, so easily accessible and SO
rich in historical interest great foras at
lire may rage over many thousands of
square miles of the pine forest of the
Northwestern States without doing ire

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

From the National Irrigation Convention,
held in Albuquerque, William E. Smythe, the
chairman, arrived yesterday at the Palace
Hotel. He said:
'sWe are rather upset over the decision of
Judge Ross in regard TO the Wright law, but if
it is confirmed by the United States Supreme
Court then some other means must be found to
overcome it, and other means will be found.
The water is the peoples and should be held
by the people. True irrigationists are anti
monopolists. Even the monopoly of large
holdings is detrimental to our colonization
schemes, and it is for this reason that so little
progress has been made by Northern California.
However, it will be but very short time
before the north will be as successful, the facil-
|, tiles being greater.
