THE COUNTY PLAN. Z

The near advent Of spring, brings
up the annually recurring question of
better roads, and how to secure them.
As matter Of fact all the efforts
that have been made in this direction
heretofore have failed to produce the
good results that were hoped for. In
the first place there is too much
money designed for the building Of
permanent good roads, that is divert
ed from its legitimate purpose, and
used to repair old roads in the sa
old way, and which are just as bad
this year as they were last, and which
will never be any better till they have
some radical treatment. We believe
in the county system; that is of hav-
ing each county expend the money
raised in that county, on it's own
roads. Then, if only a little perman-
ent road is made every year, if only
half mile in each town, the time is
bound to come when we will have
good roads everywhere. The old sys-
tenn of cobbling here and there will
never result in any lasting improve
ment. This matter of permanent
roads should be thoroughly discussed
at the coming March meetings, and
the right men selected to give the
matter direction. Earth

ALAMEDA, CAL, Jan. 16-The Rev. F.
S. Brush, pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church, will request the Christian En-
deavor Society of his church to give up
the idea of farce, for which they have
been rehearsing for the past month. The
social committee Joseph Falkingham
chairman, conceived the idea that a play
presented in the church parlors would be
a good way to raise funds for the ray
ment of the amount pledged to the San
Francisco convention expenses. He did
not ask his pastors advice, but went
ahead and made all of the necessary ar
engagements, and set the date early in Feb
ruary.
Tom orrow Mr.. Brush will ask Mr..
Falkingham to call the plans off and give
up the idea. The pastor will tell the COM
mittee that he does not approve of such
things in the church. No word OF warn
ing has been given the young people, who
will be naturally surprised at veto COM

The list of delegates to the Republican
Municipal Convention which was pub
lished this morning has given politicians
lots of material for thought. 1t is gener-
ally thought that the selection is a good
one, and that the convention cannot fail
TO put up winning ticket.
Many factions are represented in the
various delegations, and it does not seem
possible for any independent Repub-
lican movement to be organized. Since
the names were made known embryo
candidates have been very busy present.

talk and that the liquor men have not
taken any action whatever.
The appearance of the name of Council
man Manuel among the list of delegates
created mild surprise, as ii was thought
that Manuel wished to succeed himself,
and the rule was made some time ago
THAT no deleeates should be candidates.
Nj. Manuel says he is tired of politics.

decided to forget the recent unpleasant
chapter in their history.
Unfortunately a reat deal of weight
was attached to a few trifIng incidents,
which were so macnifed that irreparable
damage was done before it was realized.
In great measure the link which will
again unite the doctor and his wife has
been forged by their pretty children, OF
which both are notably fond. Since the
proceedings in court not day has passed
that the doctor has not visited his little
ones, and this did not continue long be-
fore there was evidence of desire on the
part of all concerned to reconsider The
events of a few months ago. This has
gradually strengthened until what for
merly appeared as being grave in its
character Is now seen TO have been largely
the result of an unhappy mistake toward
the commission of which circumstances
seemed to be unkind.
Had it not been for the interference OF
others It is probs be that a reconciliation
might have been affected long ago, for
there is no doubt that so far as they are
individually con cerned their former ex-

desire he will probably secure one of the
nominations.
the candidates for the Board of Educa-
ton are as numerous AS those for Council
men. In the Third Ward there are half q
dozen candidates, of whom DIR. Myra
Knox is probably the best known. In the
Seventh Ward no one can be said to be in
the fight except Kenneth M. Hayden. He
has the SUPP ort of the powerful Young
Mems Republican Club of that ward,
which should be sufficient to insure his
nomination.
J. w. Evans would like to be director
at-arge, but from many of the wards
there are really no prominent candidates.
There is a possibility still existing that
there may be some programme in regard to
the Council that has not yet been made

prislng if some name hitherto not thought
of should be put in nomination for the
city government. Since the appointment I

vas in itself a great surprise, there
have been several minor surprises, and

Baseball Managers Duties Do Not
Seem to Be PopuI ar at the State
University.


BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 16.-The resig-
nation of A. f. Williams from the posi-
don of baseball manager at the university
is the third that has occurred in success
sion. Williams has only held the place
few months, having succeeded p B..
Miller who resigned twice, his first resig-
nation not being accepted by the Athletic
Association. Before Miller William N.
Friend was manager of Berkeley inter.
ests on the diamond and he also became
tired of the position.
The job OF handling the business side
OF baseball affairs, which was once one of
the great college offices, has come to be
regarded quite differently now, since foot
ball knocked out the National game and
since the ~. c. baseball hoodoo' came
into existence. A financial deficit and a
defeat at the hands of Stanford have been
the TOO regular results of baseball seasons
at Berkeley, and now there is no very
active canvass of candidates who are
anxious to succeed Williams.
