A NEEDED AMENDMENT.

The proposed constitutional amendment
which provides that the county offices"
in consolidated city and county shall be
brought within the scope of freehoders'
charter is absolutely essential to any at
tempt at establishing sytematic and well
ordered local government for San Fran
cisco. Ever since the Supreme Court de-
cidel that San Francisco Is not truly
consolidated community, so far as its gov
ernment goes, but is partly county and
partly a city, it has been impossible to
understand clearly under wha, terms the
so-called county officers hold.
San Francisco requires new charter,
and in the course Of events will inevitably
have one. Provision should be made,
therefore, as speedily as possible. to en-
able the people, when adopting such q
charter, to arrange for all the officials Of
the incorporated community. In other
words, San Francisco should be one
thing, and not two things. The charter
under which its local government is to be
conducted should cover all departments
of that government. The proposed
amendment should by all means be adopt
ed. 1t is not only proposed advantage
to the City, but an imperative necessity.

THE FEDERAL BUILDING,

The California deleg .tion In Congress
owes to the people OF this City some ex-
planation or at least some statement of
what is being done at Washington to ad-
vance the beginning OF the work on the
Federal building.
The people are asking for news about
the work. What has Senator White done,
the senior Senator of the State? What
has Senator Perkins done, who represents
the Republicanism of California, and is
therefore representative of the admins
traionP What has been done by Con-
gresham Mcguire, who poses as the
friend OF workingmen in this City? What
has been done by Congressman Loud W ho
as Republican of long service in the
House cannot fail to have influence with
the new administration
San Francisco needs the new building.
Her workingmen need the employ ment
its construction would give and the wages
that would be paid for the work. At the
present time it has become q serious
problem how We can bes. provide wages
for willing workman and profitable en-
ployment for industry. 1t is natural
therefore, that the people should recall
the fact that an appropriation has been
made for this building and persistently
ask why work is not begun.
Whatever could be done here to
further the work has been done. The

FAVORED BY FORTUNE.

Notwithstanding the fact that Senator-ele
George Turner of Washington State goes to
Congress by the courtesy of the silverites, to
him the ''dawn of prosperity" is realization,
writes Will Vischer in the Chicago Times
Herald. He was elected to the exalted Office
of United States Senator one day and found
himself almost millionaire the next day.
When "the next day. is said that does not
mean literally all within thirty-six hours, but
so close to it that it might have been few

to have the claims recorded. Some of the

work was done on Le Roi, and about the same
time that Judge Turner was elected TO the

THE EUROPEAN CRISIS.

The reply OF the Greek Government to
the ultlmatum of the great powers gives
promise of temporary arrangement by
peaceful means of the situation IN
the Levant. Nevertheless the affairs
OF Greece and Crete undoubtedly con-
stitute serious crisis in Europe.
Despite the desire of the statesmen of the
great nations for peace, despite the i'm
peratlye necessity of main tanning ltln the
interests of industry and commerce. and
despite all the influence OF conservative
men on the side Of peace, there isNdaneer
. that war may be forced upon the people OF
that continent before the close OF spring.
1t is an old and oft-repeated. saying that
unsettled issues have no respect Tor the
repose of nations. Between the Greeks
and the Turks there are unsettled issues,
and they haYe now produced In both coun'
tries such aVpirit of mutual antagonism
as can hardly be allayed by any diplomacy
however wise or coerced by any display of
force however great. Europe may talk OF
peace, but between the Greeks and the
Turks war has already been begun and the
end OF it cannot be forescen.
The conditions are such that the states
the people in restraint. Before the pres
ent family assembled the throne OF Greece
the Greeks were ruled by King chosen
from among the Princes OF Bavaria. His
policy was not in accord with the popular
will and he was expelled from the throne.
The present K ng is wise enough to profit
by that example. He knows that he must
act in accordance with the will OF the
Greeks or abdicate. 1t was therefore no
idle saying on the part OF King George
that he would rather die on ths battle
field than to die an exile. That is the
exact choice before him. He must either
fight or resign.
The circumstances which surround the
which surround the King of Greece.
There is war party in Turkey not less
strong nor less patriotic than that among
the Greeks. 1t has been reused to mad
ness by the tameness with which the Sui
tan has submitted to outside dictat.on.
1t is capable of breaking at any moment
into open revolt. 1t cannot be ignored by
the Sultan and his advisers, and there is
evidence that it's fanaticism is SO great
that it would be willing to risk war
against all Europe com bined in what it re-
CARDS as the holy cause of Islam against
the cross.
1t is this spirit of mutual hate, born OF
racial and religious antagonism between
the Greeks and the Turks, which now dis
turbs the repose OF Europe and threatens
to involve ali the nations in general war.
Three countries-Great Britain, France
and Russia-are charged by solemn
treaty with the responsibility OF main
tanning peace in the Levant. 1t remains
to be seen whether they can do go. Their
statesmen are clearly averse to war at this
time, but there is power greater than
diplomacy, and that power may yet set
al the mighty armies of the nations NOV
ing in spite OF all that statesmen may do
to prevent the catastrophe.
