A FREE MARKET.

Governor Budd has signed Senate bill
507 authorizing the state Board of Har-
Dor Commissioners to esta blish and MAIN
tain free public market upon the water
front Of San Francisco.
1t is somewhat surprising that San
Francisco has not had free market long
ere this. 1t certainly has not been be-
cause her citizens have failed to compre-
hend the advantages of such an institu-
ton, for just across the bay in the city of
Oakland there is one which keeps every
Wednesday and every Saturday green in
the memory OF the whole purchasing COM
munity. And not few San Franciscans
have providently learned the eventful
dates by heart to the end of happening
over there with market-basket on their
arm when the frost isn't on the pump
kin and the fodder isn't in the shock"
A free market is not in the least COM
plicated institution, nor one requiring
many details in its establishment. To use
colloquialism now in vogue, "any old
thing will do" A long shed provided with
partitions, at more or less regular inter-
walls, the which to be used as stalls, is the
common pattern. The place itself is not
of so much importance as is the grant of
freedom to sell the produce without a
license. Fruits, getables meats, any
thing of an edible nature, are here per-
mitted to be sold by whoever happens to
have them for sale and desires to profit by
the privilege.
Usually "iree-market days" are set apart
as semi-weekly occasions of uncommon
commercial importance, and the spectacle
afforded by the carelessly loaded stalls
surrounded by swarms of marketers who
care more for the freshness and cheapness
of the commodities than for the con-
ventionalities of modern shopping" is
always interesting as sign of the times.
Or course there are hundreds of house
wives who would not tramp around to free
markets, or have their servants do so. if
there were one on every street corner.
They prefer to deal in the conventional
way and pay for the comfort which they
save to themselves thereby. And there
are always plenty of established stores to
furnish them with 6rst-class staples. 1t is
to the individual produce therefore, that
the principal advantage of . free market
accrues, after all is said.

THEY ARE AT WAR.

To say that war In Europe is inevitable
is 20 put it mildly. Even ii the pompous
struttings of the "powers" up and down
beneath the windows of Greece were not
sufficiently serious evidence of present
war the actions of the Greek army would
leave nothing to be desired. King Georges
soldiers are going to fight to the bitter end
whether he himself says yes or no. If the
latter, however, they will let the Turks
alone long enough to proceed back to
Athens and remove him from the throne
His only alternative is to fight or cease to
be King of Greece.
1t would indeed be difficult to include
Europe's immediate chances for war
among the mere probabilities, in the face
of this positive demonstration. War is
not only inevita ble-it is there in the
shape of great army of determined
Greeks ready to fire on the first Turk or
ally of the Turks who gives them q chance.
Those stern gentlemen are not out on a
constitutional exercise this time. They
mean business. The powers" anticipated
nothing of the kind when they took it
upon themselves to medd.e in the affair.
In fact, The ''powers" are not used to
"war" of this variety.
The Austrian Emperor is an optimist OF
SURPRISING sublimity. He seraphically
discerns prospects for peace" rainbowng

question, upon which my Government is

pirations menacing to peace"
Anything to preserve peace is the bur-
den of his hope. We are to assume that
if he were to behold fagrant act oi
vandalism going on upon his frontier, he
would hold his soldiers back from the
offenders in the interest of that same
divine peace.
But peace there will never be in Europe
until The Greeks have redressed the
wrongs of Christianity in Crete, or have
died in the attempt. And there are not
