In a few days the regular school
work for the year will begin at the nor
NAL school. 1t is proper season to call
the attention ofthe authorities to the fact
that an elevator is sadly needed at that
institution, and that 1t should be put
in at the earliest possible moment. The
work of toiling up the long hill and the
additional stair climbing required in the
building itself, are not at all necessary
to the health Of the five or six hundred
young women who attend that school.
1t is said that at one time lately no less
than half dozen were sick as a result
of such unnecessary stair climbing.
If some of the magazines that have
lately reduced their price to 10 cents a
copy do not manage to maintain bet
ter literary standard, than they have
lately done, we will begin to petition
for the restoration of the old prices. If
Anthony Hope can write nothing bet
ter than the ridiculously absurd and
outlandishly impossible story of his
which he calls Phroso, which has
been running in one of the great maga-
zines for many months, he should quit
writing for awhile and take a rest.
People do not want utterly asinine
twaddle If they can get anything else
to read. :"
In this connection, I might remark
that some of our so-called local maga-
zines might easily add to their attract
iveness by publishing plenty of good
local stories, or plenty of good stories,
whether they have the local flavor or
not.
The city should feel duly grateful to
khn -sG
local political matters and the cortage to
this section of nearly all of its most elo-
quent and best paid attorneys, and CIV
ing thm permission to regale us with
their own choice political opinions by the
hour. The vast waste of energy that
Is expended in the effort to make logi-
cal orthodox Republican political speech
in this fateful year would accomplish
Herculean marvels If properly directed.
Last night General Davis wound up
his long speech with the sweeping,
swinging, all-embracing statement that
the Republican party had made this
great country all, everything in it that
is of any consequence.
Evidently the Southern Pacific attor-
ney does not know that this country
was a great nation IS years old before
the Republican party was born.
Ex-senator Carpenter took occasion
to insult all Bryan men by saying that
a few men there who yelled for Bryan
showed that the Bryan cohorts were
of the lower elements, and he insulted
the free silver Republicans by saying
that they were like wolves in sleeps
clothing.
Henry T. Gage, the chairman Of the
meeting, lost his temper and took his
place among the hoodlums by one little
statement.
George Knight had been called for a
few dozen times. Mr. Gage announced
that Mr. Knight was not present. Some
one in the gallery shouted, Rats" Mr..
Gage lost his temper at once and blurt-
ed out Nobody but nasty, dirty Pop
ulist would say that" Mr.. Gage should
apologize to decent people or -.,.ke his
place permanently among hoodlums.
l remember a time about two years
ago when Mr.. Gage was treated to q
shower of rats" by Republican coun-
ty convention in this city till Me had to
take his seat and cease talking. So
does Gage. Yours truly,
EDWARD L. HUTCHINSON.
