An Editors Memories.

There was a time when newspaper
men in New York and Washington
contributed not a little to public en-
tertainment by the savage way in
which they pitched into each other
That doughty combatant, James wat
son Webb, was grand master in this
kind Of strife. Back in the thirtics tho
liability to be challenged tempered, but
did not restrain, the virulence OF news
paper abuse, and it tlourished uncheck'
ed in the early days of the New r
Herald, when the entire press of the
city combined to put down this daring
and successful aspirant for public
favor.
In Hudson's "History Of Journalism
in the United States" may be found a
collection of the choice eplthets hurled
at the elder Bennett in 1910 by PARK
Benjamin in the Signal, by Judge Noah
in the Evening Star, and by James
Watson Webb in the Courier and En-
quirer. These have not been surpassed
before or since. Besides them, Gree
ley's "little william" Characterization of
Raymond in 1853 and after sounds
tame. The last eminent professor OF
the cut-and-thrust method Of dealing
with hisSbrethren of tho press was Jell-
nings, of the Times. He found, l think,
a genuine delight in 1t, and one of the
pastimes of the New York editors
of twenty-five years ago was to eoad
this redoubtable swashbuckler into
photographic fury. He gave, as a rule
MS good as he got.
But it may be doubted whether his
animadversions on the table manner
and the condition Of the finger nails of
the editor of an evening contemporary
had precisely the effect intended. The
victim was not sensitive to that kind
of criticism, and 1t made discriminate
ing readers grieve,-Forum.

Severe Critics.

1t Is told Of a Scotch clergyman that
after making a quotation from Scrip
ture In his prayer one Sunday, he add
ed, earnestly: "For that, o Lord, is
the correct translation of the passage"
1t is assumed that anyone who hears
a sermon is quite capable of sitting In
Judgment on 1t, from either a doctrinal
or a literary point of view. Every
Scotch preacher is closely watched by
his congregation as well as by his pres
bytery, and some peculiar evidence 10
offered In the ecclesiastical suits which
are sometimes carried on.
The charges made against a certain
minister who was 10 have been settled

Another witness objected to the pre-

She Will Speak on the Way Out for the
Unemployed.
OAKLAND, CAL, March 14.-Helen NJ.
Cougar of Indiana, the noted lecturer on
reform movements, is now making a
tour of the State. As has been said of her
she is pre-eminently an intellectual
woman. Her predominating qualities of
mind are quickness of apprehension, PEN
etrat1on, self-reliance, enthusiasm and
will Combined with these strong intel
lectual gifts is a burning love for human
ity. She has travelled extensively over
Great Britain and the Contin ent of Europe
studying the condition of the working
people in the Old World.
The subject of her lecture in this city
Monday night is, "Give Us Work or Give
Us Bread, or the Way Out for the Unem-
ployed.'
The Alameda County w. C. T. q. will
tender a reception to Mrs. Cougar next
Monday March 16) between and o'clock
P NJ. in the parlors of the Y. W. c. A.,
1924 Franklin street.
A cordial invitation is extended to all
to be present and meet this gifted woman,
who. as an ardent suffragist, has been
waging a peaceful warfare these many
years for woman's political equality with
man.
She is the author of the law granting
municipal suffrage to women in Kansas,
and to her efforts are largely due the sue
cess of that measure.

SCHOOL, MONEY GALORE,
Mayor Davie Denies Certain
Statements That Reflect on
His Budget.
He Hints That Certain Publications
Have Been Made for
Purpose.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,

90S Broadway. March IA.
A statement was published last night
that there would be deficit in the school
fund and that it was not impossible that
the schools might have to close for a
period for lack of money.
The Mayor was asked about the matter
to-day and said:
The article states in substance that there
will be shortage of $4,000 in the school fund
for this year, ue to decrease in the amount
to be received in the second State apportion-
ment. The statement is also made that ''the
wisdom of the Board of Education in not at
tempting extensive improvements at the High
School grounds is now demonstrated" and
"Ir was well the board did not adopt Mayor
Davies views"
The foregoing statements as appearing in
said article are false, misleading and not fair
to the public. In fixing the tax levy it was es-
timated that $116, 900 would be the income OF
the school fund from the State, and according
to the statements of the State Controller, State
Superintendent and County Superintendent OF
Schools, the total income for the school fund
from the State will be $l13,244, or only $2756
less than the amount fixed in the tax levy.
IiFrom the county $47, ,412 has been received.
and the County Superintendent estimates that
fund will be 1000, making total of
$72 ,412 for the year AS $62, 900 was allowed
in the tax levy, it shows that an excess OF
$1O,412 will be available.
mary and grammar schools will be $7656 in
excess of the total amount fixed in the tax
levy, showing concluslvely that the school
fund has more than sufficient funds to meet lis
obligations.
The statement in reference to the improve
ments TO the High School grounds is false, as
the High School does not receive any money
from the income of the State or county. The
entire income of the High School fund, the
sum of 45 900, lis received from the city taxes,
and is more tnan sufficient for the main
tenance of the High School.
The following tabulation gives a correct
statement of the funds available for the
Primary and Grammar schools for the coming
year:
INCOME FOR SCHOOL FUND
State apportionment No. 1............ $77, ,504 81
State apportionment No. 2.............. 35.740 81

W. ]. Dingee, who has about 100 orange

A. d. Pryal, County Horticulturist, ana

frost than oranges, but they grow to per-
lection in the vicinity of Oakland. He says

the frost damage III the flower gardens OF
Oakland seemed to be confined to few

lemon to perfection"
