If you really want a song of the sea,
Let no sailor that song sing,
But some lubberly clown from an inland
town,
His song will have the ring.
There never was u man who went to sea,
Abaft the mast or before,
Who could sing you a rollicking song of
the sea
With a man who stays ON shore.
Then pass the steaming punch around.
When the nights grow merry and long;
When the black tides swirl ut the har-
boris mouth
We'll raise the lubbcrsong.

Likewise the port watch too,
When the pinnacle fell from the mizzen-

And the chaplain piped the crew.

And the spanker floated free,
AS we stood by our guns of some thou
sand tons
With Al gale upon our lee.
Then blow, ye breezes. blow,
And the gun they go bang! bang!
A sailors joy is the harbor buoy;
Hurrah for Ii Hung Chang!
Our capstan sail was hoisted up,
The cardboard strake gave room,
And we sailed away from New York bay
By the light of the %spinnakcr boom.

In the salt of the sparkling brine,
And the bo'sun said that the anchor

undcr,aid with Gold.

Percy +. Marks, one Of the propr,r-
tors of the London Financial News, one
of the recognized authorities on finan-
cial matters. arrived in San Francisco
last week on the Monowai. The paper
was founded in 1888 and is owned by
himself and his brother, Harry III.
Marks. a member of Parliament. This
brother, previous to embarlling in this
London enterprise, obtained his Jour.
nalistic experience ON American pa
pers.
Mr.. Marks has been in Australia max
ing a careful study of the gold fields in
west Australia, New South Wales and
New Zealand. AS these mines develop,
which they are now doing very rapidly,
he predicts a very remarkable increase
in the supply of gold, amounting, in
fact, to a glut of the yellow metal in
the market. The mines of west Aus
tralia are particularly rich and extens-
i've. but have the disadvantage of being
in a country scantily supplied with
wood. water and means of transporta.
ton. But these disadvantages are being
rapidly overcome. The government is
extending the railroad which runs
from Perth to Coolgardie on to Kali
goorlie. better known as Hoanuus,
twenty-five miles, an extraordinarily
rich mining region. The government
has also asked Parliament for sss5.OOO,-
GEO for the purpose of laying 300 miles
of water pipe. In many places drinking
water sells for 80 cents a gallon. From
here Mr.. Marks goes to Cripple Greek
to investigate the mining prospects
there. His paper, he says. has always
had a favorable opinion of Cripple
Creek fields.-Los Angeles Express.

for as dead. All Lord Wyvern's pride.
all the habitual GOODNESS Of his manner
gave way at once, and he did not even
try to hide the unwontcd tears that
dimmcd his eyes, as, opening his arms, he
pressed the young man to his breast.

MIXED GATHERING IN COURT
A Motley Crowd OF Minor Offenders and
Criminals in the Dock
Police Justices Kept Busy-Petty Thief Gets
Long Sentsnce-Vagrancy Cases
Dismissed Court Notes

Judge Rossiter of Pasadena sat in
police court yesterday, having changed
benches for a few days. This is Justice
Morrisons week to handle the police
business, while Justice owens cleans up
the continued cases and attends to civil
matters. There was a big lot of petty
offenders who had been gathered in for
one cause or another during Saturday
and Sunday. and a full dock greeted
the justice from Pasadena as he took
his seat to pass upon their cases.
Fifteen names We're called, eight men
and seven women, to answer charges of
disturbing the peace on Sunday morn
ing. The crowd was composed of negro
prostitutes and white men who were
captured in bawdy house at No. 49S
Alameda street, some drunk, but all
raising great racket at o'clock in the
morning. All the victims save two had
secured their release on depositing SO
bail each. The two unfortunates were
Harry Lamont and Lizzie Moreno. No
complaint was sworn to against the
Moreno woman, nor against a hack
captured. and they were accordingly re-
leased. The Lamont parsonage had trial
set for July - and was sent back to his
cell. The balance of the outfit did not
appear in court, were found guilty on
the testimony of the arresting officers,
and today was set as date for sentence.
when their bail money will be covered
into the city treasury, enriching it to the
extent of S120.
John G. Moonan, convicted of being
drunk and disturbing the peace Satur-
day night out on Twenty-sevenths street,
was fined $50 or corresponding num-
Der of days in Jail, but sentence was
suspended during good behavior. Two
little boys, 10 and Ii years of age, named
James Gray and Harry Cwynn, were
tried on q petty larceny charge and
pleaded guilty to having stolen Is cents
from the pockets of some clothing at
the Natatorium on Sunday afternoon.
Each accused the other of being re-
sponsible for having instgated the theft
and ii was a hard matter to tell who
was lying. James was crying piteously.
while Harry brazened it out Putting
on his most benignant and fat'sASy
look. Judge kossiter proceeded to ques-
tion them. Finally he remarked We'll,
Harry I am inclined to believe the story
told by James, jas he seems to be tell

or husband; but who is to represent her
when she has none of these? When our
fathers, in the old colonial days, protest
ed against taxation without representa-
tion, England advanced this same claim,
that the colonies were virtually repre-
sented. The patriots secuted the claim
and insisted that all just government
rests on the expressed consent of the
governed.
Another objection is urged that the
possession of the ballot cannot right all
the wrongs. Man has had the franchise
for genera tions, yet politics are corrupt.
All the greater need to give it to women
and call in the conscience half of the
community to reinforce the flabby Vir-
tues of the franchise and save the state
Both sexes should have the opportunity
of self depression and the advantage of

should be sobered by sense of response

rests upon fashion, caprice or sensibility

to be turned into acknowledged power
to be exercised in the light of day.
Women are luxurious, selfish and frivi-
lous because they have been trained to
find wealth, position and pleasure the
greatest good in life. If this potent in
fluence of theirs was directed to wide
ends, and they were made to feel that it
could make or mar the state, the new
