WITHOUT A PROPELLER.
An Engineers Novel Method of Driy-
ing His Launch Ahead.

An Engineers Novel Method OF Dr1Y-
ing His Launch Ahead.
John S. Morgan of Selhy made his APP
pearance on the bay yesterday in his gaso-
line launch Eleanor, and gave the water
front an exhibition of the novel manner in
which his vessel is driven over the surface.
Water is taken in through valves in the
bottom of the boat amidships, and forced
out through an inch and quarter pipe in
the stern. This delivery tube is below the
surface, and the resistance which the re-
jected stream meets when it encounters the
dead water outside pushes the boat ahead.
The Eleanor carries slx-horse-power
engine and easily steams seven knots an
hour.
The inventor claims that his method of
eiecting the water, by single-action
pump, in succession of separate strokes,
is an improvement over the continuous
stream experimental upon by the marine
engineers who have been attempting this
new means of propulsion. The boat can
be stopped or backed by reversing the cur
rent passing through the hull and driving
it out through the bottom valves, the di
rection of their insertion being such that
the elected water is driven toward the
boat's head.
Mr.. Morgan claims that he has found the
long-sought secret in marine propulsion
that will make the heavy, dragging pro-
peller thing of the past.

OF the community. He is forever planning

induces wealthy men TO put their money
into real estate, but he gets up designs for
modern commercial buildings and office

posted. not only on current topics, but
upon the intricacies of finance as well.
Not IN Chicago itself has this develop
ment OF the business of the real estate
dealer been more marked than in San
francisco. In fact, it is on the Pacific
Coast generally that the influence of the
enterprise OF real estate men has been
most powerfully felt and is most distinctly
seen. 1here IS not a county and hardly a
Town or village in the State that does
not snow some evidence of his resources

ally American. The real-estate business
OF Europe is where it was forty years ago.
or hundred years ago. The business in
America, however, has been made TO ex-
pahd SO as TO give full scope to American
energy. We may rightly claim the real
estate man as the typical citizen. California
owes MIN much, and there are very few
people VINO are not willing TO wish him
prosperity IN all his enterprises. In fact
1t Is but small and narrow mind that
would grudge TO the live and reliable real
estate man, the small commission he asks
for his valued services.

REAL ESTATE MEN.

One OF the most interesting features of
the recent banquet held by the real estate
dealers OF Chicago was the account given
by one OF the oldest members present, of
the changes which have taken place in the
methods OF transacting the business during
his experience OF forty years with it. AS
these changes exhibit the expansive power
OF American energy and enterprise as ex-
emplified in one of our leading industries,
they are of general interest and deserve the
consideration of all who are concerned in
the development of our industrial life.
Forty years ago, according to the Chicago
dealer, the Office and functions of a real
estate agent were defined by his title. He
was merely the agent of those who desired
to purchase, rent, lease or SELL He fol-
lowed the instructions of his principals or
he lost their business. 1t would have been
considered the height of presumption for
an agent to have constantly insisted upon
his principal doing this thing or that
thing
Since that day of small things, the bust
ness has changed. The general public
looks upon all men in any way identified
with real estate as real estate agents, but
this is mistake. There are real estate
"brokers" who would not think of hand
ling any property in the capacity of an
agent. There are dealers who would no
more take house for rent than they would
attempt to reform the city government.
Then there are promoters. middle
men, statesmen" and what are known as
s'curbstone brokers'"
Along with this division of the business
into several departments, there has come
large expansion of the business ITSELF The

to be the agent of others and confined him.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The proposed new charter of San Francisco
gives the Mayor greatly increased power in
making appointments. That is genuine re-
form movement, because, among other things,
1t is q movement in the direction of home
rule. The State should keep its hands entirely
off municipalities, so lar as regulating their
internal affairs and selecting their officials is
concerned. There is no more reason why the
Governor of California should appoint the
Police Commissioners OF San Francisco than
there is why he should appoint the bailiff of

THE LOTTERY FAKE.

Having decided to go out OF the fake
business THE CALL viii publish nothing
that suggests fake. This means, among
other things, that we will not publish
lottery advertisements nor the list of
lottery drawings. These are fakes of the
worst kind. Their existence is violation
of law and the law is a Just one. It de-
serves the support OF every good citizen
and every legitimate newspaper, and THE
CALL will not only refuse to abet its viola
ton by publishing lottery advertisements,
but will on the contrary endeayor to bring
about its thorough enforcement.
We are not going to indulge in any cru
SADIE against lotteries or in any Trades
against those who sell tickets. To do so
would give small-minded people and the
whole class of takers a chance to say that
we were trying to bulldoze the lotteries
into buying us off. For that reason We
simply call attention to the violation Of
the law, ask the officers to do their duty,
and drop the subject.
We are going out OF the business of
advertising them because we regard it
as outside the pale of legitimate jour
nalism. We are wedding out these
fakes one by one as we come to
them. We propose to publish clean,
honest newspaper that can go into every
home through the mails if need be with
out violating the law. If the law were
bad one we would fight il as We propose TO
fight that imposing an income tax, but
this is good law, and has the approval OF
the majority of the people of every State III
the Union, and we will obey it.
We would not advise any one to invest
in lottery ticket. The gamble is too
great. There are thousand investments
in every section of California open TO rich
and poor, in which there is little risk and
no gambling at all, that will yield not
only good profits in monetary sense, but
the better profits OF economy and sagacity
in the minds of those who invest in them.
These are the things that THE CALL will
advertise. 1t is to them that we will di-
rect the attention, the thoughts and, if
possible, the money of the people.
We wish TO be instrumental in building
up the enduring prosperity of the State by
informing the people of those things which
it is profitable for them to know. We
wish to do this. moreover, in a condensed
and readable form. We have, therefore,
no space to bestow on fakes, even If we
were inclined to publish them. All our
columns are required for the news of the
day and the advertising of legitimate
trade. We have triple reasons, therefore,
for dropping the lottery business. First,
it is a fake Of no profit to the reader; sec
ond, it is against the just law of the coun-
try, and, third, it prevents a paper from
giving the needed space TO better things.
Other people may have the lottery BUSH
ness if they choose. We have done with
it, once and forever.

A GOOD ADVERTISEMENT.
From, the San Franctsco Daily Report.


The Report hopes the Republican National
Convention win be held in San Francisco. There
will be no difference OF opinion about II, we
suppose, as such gathering would be to the
advantage rather than disadvantage OF the
Southern Pacific Company. II is true that the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Republicans from all
parts OF the Union-would, here on the spot, be
able to get clearer insight into the methods
OF the octopus than they would be likely to
obtain elsewhere; but the visit of the conven-
ton would put some cash into the pockets of
the railway company, and ready money is what
that company needs and must have.
If San Franciscans pull together and meet
the necessary pecuniary obligations OF the en-
terprise, we ought TO have the convention of
go. 1t would do the city great deal OF good,
because by the time the delegates got here the
competing road would be in operation, other
enterprises of a similar character would be
under way and the opportunities for profitable
investment would be many and tempting. So
the convention would be good advertisement
for us-something that no such convention
would have been four years ago. We Can now
show California without fear that the freight
rates will freighten away would-be investors.

SUPREME COURT COMMISSIONER
The Successor to Judge jackson
Temple Appointed.


E. W. Britt of San Diego has been ap-
pointed a Commissioner of the Supreme
Court of California, to succeed Jackson
Temple.
Speaking of the appointment last even
ing. Chief Justice Beatty said: ''The new
appointee is a Democrat and was chosen
as such in order to maintain the nom
partisan character of the Commissioners.
He is, [ believe, native of California, is
what is called a young man-somewhere
between 80 and 40, l should say. He is a
comparative stranger to this part of the
State, but is very well known in the south
ern part of California, where for number
OF years he has been leading lawyer. He
commenced the practice of his profession
in Lake County, and remained there until
the boom in the southern part of the State
attracted SO much attention. He moved to
San Diego, where he took up his residence.
He is very much devoted to his pro-
fession."
