The CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
Duckworth doesn't duck worth cent
Leave orders to-day for The SUNDAY
CALL.
Third street will soon be luminous with
progress.
The route of legislative iunketing trip
never yet led to economy.
The poultrymen wish a poultry expert
ment station and ought to have it.
The New York sculptor who has been
sued by his model will hardly give her a
recommendation for good form.
OF the arbitration treaty it may be said
that if it is an agreement" it may go, but
if it is an alliance" it will have to go.
There is no economy in wrangling over
the stuffed payroll scandal to the neglect
of important business ana delay in urgent
work.
Coxey has started on tour to organize
a new party, and Bryan will have to
hustle if he wishes to keep his gang to-
gether.
The Stockton Maa refers to the Princess
Chimay as "unspeakable," but that de-
pends, of course, on the way the title is
pronounced.
Since economy is to begin at the water
front let US hope it will move steadily
westward like the star of empire until it
sweeps the whole City.
A study of the interior press shows that
the demand of the people on the LegisIa-
ture is first for economy, second good
roads and third some more economy.
The tariff-makers are not saying much
in these days, but they are saving the
wood which will start the furnace fires of
American industry as soon as it gets into
use.
In declaring ''everybo favors the in
dependence of the Senate" Senator Turpie
was mistaken. There are lots of people
who think it ought to have a trocha
round it.
Nearly one-third of all the patents ap-
piled for in Great Britain last year we're
for improvements on the bicycle, and still
the wheeIman insists that his machine
cannot be improved.
Since the friends of the Pacific roads are
filibustering against the Nicaragua canal
bill in the Senate they will have no right
to complain if the railroad commission
bill is talked to death.
Why should there be all this advice to
Mckinley in making up his Cabinet and
not a word even of sympathy for the fell
low who is making up the invitation list
for the inaugural ball?
1t is now proposed to put the nine good
road bills before the legislature into one
com bination measure, but whether the
new creation will be an omnibus bill or a
dump remains to be seen.
1t is noted in the East that Chicago
papers, instead of lauding everything in
their City as they did in days of yore, are
now attacking its defects and its vices. 1t
seems the papers have repented.
New York has a compulsory education
law, but in the City there is not room
enough in the schools for the children, so
they are discussing whether to enforce the
law and burst the schoolhouses or to ease
up on the schools and break the law.
A statement is going the rounds of the
press to the effect that the forests OF
Maine grow as fast as the 1um bermen can
cut them down, but whether this is in
tended as a reflection on the industry of
the lum bermen or a good tree story is not
shown by any diagram.
1t is being asserted frequently that Sher-
man, as Secretary of State, will continue
the policy OF Olney in regard to Cuba, but
the fact remains that as chairman of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
Sherman reported the Cameron resolu-
tions ana supported them.
The proposal to remove the girls reform
school from Whittier to the buildings
owned by the State IN Santa Clara County
formerly occupied as the home for feeble
minded children is a good one in every
way. 1t will be benefit to the girls and
to the State, and moreover it will be an
economy.
Ex-senator Edmunds' letter on the ar
bitration treaty disposes of the charge
that the treaty involves surrender OF the
Monroe doctrine, and to that extent is re-
assuring to the people. No living man is
higher authority on international law
than Edmunds and no one has wiser re-
gard for our National welfare. and his
words will therefore have great weight in
