FORECLOSURE SUITS.
Controller Colgan Thinks the School
Fund should Bear the Expense.

Controller Colgan Thinks the School
Fund Should Bear the Expense.
A communication has been addressed
to the State Board of Examiners and
the Attorney-General by State Control
Ter Colgan. on the sugject of foreclosure
suits, in which he says:
"In pursuance of Section 500 of the
Political Code it has been the custom
to pay these expenses; first, out of the
principal sum paid upon location of the
land (out of the State school land fund.-,
and in the event sufficient principal
had not been paid to meet such expenses
of foreclosure the balance is taken
from the interest paid on the location
from the State school land fund.
''It strikes me that this is irregular;
that the foreclosure should be reversed.
and that the school fund should stand
the burden of this expense, particularly
where sufficient interest has been paid
to meet the expense demands.
'It also appears that the provisions
of Section 3555 so far as the same re-
lates to payment of costs and expenses
out of the principal received from the
sale of State lands, being an expendi-
ture from the State school land fund,
are in conflict with the provisions of
Section 4, Article TX of the Constitu-
ton, requiring the fund to remain in
tact. IF, however, they are not in con-
flict, my opinion is that any interest
paid must be first applied to the pay
ment of such expenses, and if a def
cheney then exists this deficiency may
be taken from the principal sum paid. !"

The San Diego Union" well says, in
referring to the recent article in this
paper concerning the suppression of
facts relative to needed reforms in COM
munities
The history of Southern California
records the temporary success of more
than one paper which achieved popu-
larity solely by outstripping its compet-
tiers in publishing pure, unadulterated
falsehood for the sake of booming the
town. Happily this sort of journalism is
not as common now as it was few
years ago. Still, 1T must be admitted
that there are to-day newspapers
which, while perhaps not willfully pub
fishing downright untruths, are careful
to suppress facts which might hurt the
town, and whose publication would call
forth the wrath of patrons of the paper.
Unfortunately this policy is damaging
in the highest degree. The truth sooner
or later leaks out, and usually it goes
of fiction.
It sometimes requires courage to pub
l;sh the facts when they are unpa1ata-
BILE, but generally people now recognize
that a newspaper which tells the truth
is working for the best interests of the
community, and this is especially the
case when it exposes defects upon the
remedy of which the future welfare Of
a locality very largely depends.

THE TROUBLE IN THE SALIVA
TION ARMY.

The Salvation Army has become an
institution of such Importance in this
country that any change in its policy
and command invites public concern.
Ballington Booth, so long the American
commander. has become an American
citizen. He and his wife discovered
long ago that many things relating to
the internal displine and economy Of
the army in England were Ill adapted
to American thought. sentiment and en-
vironment. He has. therefore, and with
great success, introduced innovations
which have made the command in
America far more acceptable to Amer
leans. The result has been rapid in
crease in the strength of the American
command and the lifting Of it to a hign
level in public estimation. Where it
was a thing for scorning and reproach,
It has become an institution inspiring
public regard and unlimited confidence

TO MAKE Us A cAr,s-pAw.

The dispatches announce that at a.
recent social meeting in England con-
gratulatory expressions were adopted,
addressed to the American people on the
agitation in favor of establishing a
permanent Board of Arbitration for the
settlement of all disputes between
Great Britain and the United States
This consummation,,.it is added in the
message of congratulation, viii be
great thing for "the English-speaking
family
Therein is where sentiment and
twaddle come into play to boost along
a silly idea Right on the heels of this
expression is forwarded to US "in honor
of the birthday of George Washington,
we are informed, the news that because
Canadians have been so criminally un-
fair, mean and sneaking in the matter
of the preservation of the seal herds in
Rehring Sea, and because England had
coolly and with malice aforethought re-
fused to do her part in policing the
sea and preventing the blotting out of
the seal industry, a Congressman has
introduced a measure in the House
threatening if England and the Domin-
ion Government further refuse to be
decent and stand true to the Behring
Sea settlement terms. the United States
will itself proceed to exterminate the
seal herd.
That is very silly, of course. If Eng
land and Canada wfll not play fair, the
thing to do is to put force enough in
Behring Sea ourselves to protect the
seals and compel the freebooters to be
decent The idea Of killing the goose
in spite is childish.
But suppose we had a permanent ar
bitration committee, could such mat
ter go to it? Obviously not, because
England and the scaly Canadians who
are poaching on our preserves would
reply to our demand: "Why, friends,
there is nothing to arbitrate; the mat
ter was settled by the Behring Sea
issue between u.s." And so these seal
stealers would go on with their pilfer-
ing and laugh in their sleeves at our
dilemma.
So it would be always under the pol
icy of the goody-goody, peace-at-any-
price fadists, who are shouting about
the common tongue" and the Eng
disappearing family" The simple
truth is that if there ever is an issue
that ought to be arbitrated between the
two countries it ought to and will stand
upon its own bottom. There is not now
and never can be any necessity for a
permanent board. To establish such
court means to surrender, as the Rec
ord-Union" has all along pointed out,
our diplomatic independence; to erect
a fence behind which England can at
any time hide; to disarm the nation
practically, and put us at the mercy
of English dipIomatists, who have al
ways outwitted US and always will so
long as we hesitate to make demands
in justice with such vigor and backed
by such strength that England or any
olner AdliOH interested VIII coIne W
diplomatic treatment of the issue in
hand with us.
We repeat, the permanent court of ar
bitration means an alliance with Eng
land practical annexation to the en-
pire of Great Britain, and the making
of the United States into a convenient
cat's-paw with which to rake English
chestnuts from diplomatic hot ashes.

The cartoon methods of the rabid
anti-railroad press of San Francisco
disgrace journalism, offend decent
tastes, and confess a weak cause. The
one thing to dignity a man in these days
of mud-slinging by newspapers of the
gutter is ito have them caricature their
would-be victim. 1t is a safe rule to
adopt that whoever the scavenger paper
abuses is worthy Of confidence and

Patriotic Americans are much graft
fled and encouraged by the spirit and
enthusiasm with which Washington S
Birthday was observed by many soci-
cites, clubs and by the free and private
schools of the country. Business, how
ever, was not interrupted by the holi
day. The commercial spirit evidently
has no time for cultivation of patriotic
sentiment. 1t cannot spare its workers
for such day from the grind for the
dollar.

Oakland did itself great honor on
Washingtons Birthday 1t had, be-
sides some society celebrations, a fine
procession in which a small army of
school children took part along with the
organized militia, the Grand Army of
the Republic. a cayalcade of horsemen,
Veteran Firemen, city and county Off
cials, fire department and others. They
had flags and banners and music in
plenty, fine lot of floats and patriotic
emblems and notices pervaded the line.
That was something like it. The after
noon was given up to rational outdoor
sports. At night there was great as
semblage of citizens, patriotic speeches,
singing by chorus of 300 voices and
other appropriate exercises. That was
a fitting finale to day that is too little
celebrated. May Oakland's example
shame other interior California cities
next year into better observance of the
natal day of George Washington.
