battles will take place before the Russian re-
serves have time to come on the scene.
Taking all things into consideration the
probabilities of success are decidedly on the
side OF the triple alliance. Her armies are
much better disciplined and equipped than
those OF the dual alliance and II would take
Russia many years TO bring her army on an
equal footing. Fortunately there is nothing
on the European horizon tina indicates dis

nevertheless the five nations will continue TO
be prepared for It, and the people will have to

A SMALL BOARD WELL PAID.


THE committee of one hundred has adopted resolution
recommending that under the charter the Board of
Supervisors shall consist of eighteen members, who
shall be elected by general ticket from the City and County at
large and shall hold office for two years. nine to be elected
annually"
The recommendation is in the nature of compromise and
will be satisfactory neither to those who wish large board
to those who wish small one. 1t is important to have
this fact pointed once for the coming Board of Free
holders should follow the recommendation they would please
nobody and subject the charter to the danger of being
rejected at the polls.
We have had experiments enough in the of charter
making, and they have been costly Those who are now
engaged the work should profit by the lessons of the past
The people of San Francisco desire good charter and they
have shown again and again that they will not make change
simply for the sake of change Until well ordered and
thoroughly satisfactory system of municipal government IS
drawn up they will vote down every charter proposed
to them.
1t we'll understood that San Francisco is copoation

The business of the City and County of San Francisco
would be conducted better by small number able than

Supervisors should not be debating society," but governing

"GIVE u A KING"

To the Editor of the San Francisco CdH-SIR:
Certain members OF the charter convention
and other gentlemen in this City, who place
their hope of municipal reform in dictator
to be called the Mayor, may proftably read
the story OF King Saul related in sacred
history. It Is an instructive story. / cannot
go into details, though they are decidedly
readable. 1 am only able to indicate what
the story teaches us. 1t begins with chapter
3, first verse, l Samuel:
And 1t came to pass when Samuel was old
that he made his sons judges over Israel.
NOW the name of his first born was Joel,
anu the name OF his second Abiah; they were
Judges in Beersheba.
"And his sons walked not in his ways, but
turned aside after lucre and took bribes and
perverted judg gment.
Then all the elders of Israel gathered them
serves together and came to Samuel and said,
Behold. thou art old and thy sons walk not in
thy ways; now make us king to judge Us.
"But the thing displeased samuel, when
they said, Give US n king 10 Judge Us. And
Samuel pr raved unto the Lord.
And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken
unto the voice OF the people In all that they
say unto thee; for they have not rel tcted thee,
but they have rejected me that should not
reign over them.
According to all the works which they have
done since the day that brought them out of
Egypt, wherewith they have forsaken me, SO
do they also unto thee.
"Now, therefore, hearken unto their voice;
noNDelI yet protest solemnly unto them ana
show them the manner Of the king that shall
reign over Them"
Let US pass on to chapter K, verses II, 49, 10,
and note the next step:
"And Samuel called the people together
unto the Lord a Mizpah, and he said un 10 the
children OF Israel, Thus saith the Lord God of
Israel:
Il brought up Israel out of Egypt, and de-
lvered you out OF the hand of the Egyptians,
ana out OF the hand OF all Kingdoms, and OF
them that oppressed you;
And ye nave this day rejected your God
and said unto him, Nay, but set king over
the Lord"
They got Saul for their king, and one of his
hrst and most notable acts was in the line OF
plunder, as we see in chapter XIV, and in open
disregard OF express commands, though he
made great show in the way of sacrifices for
the altar. Verse %: "Andsamuel said, Hath
the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings
and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the
Lord Behold. to obey is better than sacri-
nee. and to hearken than the fat of rams"
The king was fiat failure and did not
bring in the good times they thought to see
under him, and things went on from bad to
worse as the sorrowful story shows
There was once prosperous ana powerful
Roman republic, with a strong and proud race

she gave birth to 4 child at Modgliana the
child was girl, and reasons of state required
