Bro Weeks of the Bakersfield Californi-
an is one of the bsst-hearted fellows in the
profession, and this leads him TO come to
the defense of Editor Otis OF Los Angeles,
who has received such general abuse at
the hands of the fraternity since making
himself SO unnecessarily conspicuous in
political matters. 1t is true, as the Cali
fornian says, that there is too great ten
dency among Californians to belittle their
own prominent men; but if there ever was
an editor more open to criticism in this
very respect than Mr.. Otis we cannot re-
call him. He has persistently: indulged in
abuse of about everybody else, and thus
fairly earned the dislike of the fraternity,
notwithstanding his acknowledged ability.

DOWN BUCKLEY

Every Californian, regardless of political
proclivity, should be heartily glad of the
signal defeat suffered by the agents of
Buckley before the Democratic state CEN
tral committee. The minions Of the ex.
proprietor of the San Francisco Democ-
racy:attired in the garb of the Kearny street
statue were noisy and disorderly in their
attempts to hold up the hands of the few
adherents that the 'blind white devil" had
on the committee. But in spite of threats
and ruffianism the late boss was turned
down. No greater misfortune could befall

HOUSES are going up. 1t is not meant by
this that they are going up higher or faster
than heretofore on the contrary, they
may be built lower and slower than for a
long time past. They are going up in
price. After long and tedious effort the
lumber interests of the Pacific coast have
come together, and one of the combines
you read about has been formed, and the
price of the material out of which build
ings. sidewalks, matches, toothpicks and
according to tradition-in Connecticut
hams and nutmegs are made, will be adj
vanced few pegs. The reason & iven by
the lumbermen for the upward twist is
that it is necessary in order to make the
business profitable. The men of boards,
beams and shingles are really under no
obligation to give any reason, and in doing
SO they show that even they have "a de-
cent regard for the opinions of mankind"
but while they are about it they might as
we'll be exact and say the hoist is needed
to make the business "more" profitable.
A cynical world will probably persist in
disbelieving the assertion that for the last
few years the lumber dealers have sold
their material at loss. There does not
seem to have been any general impover-
ishment of lumber magnates lately.

Strike me note OF sweet degrees

Like those Of Jewry heard of old;
NY love, if thou wouldst wholly please,
Hold in thy hand harp OF gold,
And touch the strings with fingers light,
And yet with strength as David might
AS David might
Linger not long in songs OF love-
In songs OF love;
No serenades nor wanton airs
The deeper soul of music move;
Only solemn measure bears
With rapture that shall never cease
My sp. rit TO the gates of peace
The gates o. peace.
So feel when Francesca sings
Francesca sings
MY thoughts mount upward; am dead
To every sense of vulgar things
And on celestial highways tread,
With prophets of the oiden time
Those minstrel kings. the men subli me-
The men sublime.

Dance at the Argyle

A very delightful dance that was largely
attended was given at the Hotel Argyle
last night by the management. The hall
and dining room where the evening g pleas
ure was spent was profusely decorated
with peppers and callas. There was
pretty division at one of side the dining room
formed by tishnetting interviewer with
flowers and green. And every where
flowers were used to great advantage.
These dances have become so popular that
each is anticipated with much pleasure.
The floor was in excellent condition and
the music was furnished by Schoneman-

GENERAL ScHoFIELD does not agree with
the popular belief that war with modern
engines of warfare would cause greater hu-
man slaughter than before. "War today"
he says, 80 far as loss of life is con-
cerned, would be more humane than it
ever was, but on the other hand it would
be terribly destructive to property. Cities
would be destroyed as we'll as ships and
Notifications, but the men would fight
more under cover and at longer range"
1t is probable that very few people will
agree with the general regarding the les
sened liability of men to death in a mod
ern war, but if he can convince the world
that property will suffer more than mon
and more than ever before, that whole cit
les would be wiped out. he will advance
the cause of peace long way. The pow
ers that rule the world seldom value men,
but property well, that is a different
thing.

THE REIMBURSEMENT of the San Bernar-

able newspaper men who will undoubtedly
maintain the Sun on the high plane of ex-

again have Buckley in control of the party

again have Buckley in control Of the party
machinery at San Francisco.
The representation Of the San Francisco
Democracy constitutes 80 large proper
ton of every state convocation of the
party that it almost invariably exercises a
controlling influence, SO that the prsdom-
nance Of Buckley in San Francisco means
something to Democrats outside that city.
His supremacy there also enables him to
WELD a determining influence in the state
legislature, no matter which party may be
in the majority in that body. The San
Francisco delegation constitutes about
one-third of the legislature, and when con-
trolled by Buckley it can readily be seen
that 1t is potent for evil. Hence it is that
not alone the Democracy but the people of
ali parties are interested in the Illustration
of the designs of the Bush street God. It
is really a case of the People versus Buck
leyism.

musical critic of the New York Evening
Post. says concerning Ondricek's recent
appearance in New York, as follows:
The solost was Mr. Ondricek, who made
his American debut on this occasion. Be-
ing Bohemian, it was natural that he
should choose the violin concerto of his
countryman, Dvorak. 1t is not one of that
COMPOSERS most inspired works, but it 10
difficult enough to tempt the most daring
virtuosO, and that MIR. OndriceK surmount-
ed its awkward intervals without lapse or
intonation was pleasant surprise to begin
with. His bowling is smooth and easy, his
phrasing never inartistic, but his most
striking trait is that to which German
critics have called attention, the refreshing
animation of his playing. He seems to en-
joy himself and that proves contagious to
the audience. He was also heard in Ernst's
Hungarian airs and Bach's chaconne, in
which he gave further proof of his mastery
of the violin.
Materna, Wagner himself proclaimed her
to be the worlds greatest prima donna who
stands alone as the most satisfactory rep.
resentative in such parts as Isolde, Eliza
beth, Ortrud and Brunhlde. Materna more
than any other singer, knows how 10 invest
