 AUDITOR BRODERICK-It is not every scheme suggested for raising money for such purposes that sue ceeds, but this one will go if it is put in the hands of people with executive ability, though it will require work to get it on a good footing. It would be a fine idea to have permanent fair for the benefit of the Red Cross, for the cause is a noble one.
 CHARLES ZINKAND-The Red Cross movement is a good thing in every land. It stands for humane methods on the battlefield and for all that we love in this country. l am, therefore, heartily in favor of any en- tertainment of fair that will bring money to the cause.

 ATTORNEY GENERAL W. F. FITZGERALD-You may quote me as being heartily in favor of any move ment that will be of benefit to the men who are now offering their lives to the country I see much good in The Calls suggestion of a fair for the aid of the Red Cross. It could be so conducted as to be a means of raising a great deal of money for the cause. I hope 1t will be devised and carried out as out lined by the paper.

Many Citizens IndOrSe The Call' s Suggestion of a Practical Way
 to Raise Funds.
A Permanent Place of Amusement Would Enter tain the Public and Greatly Help the
 Cause of Patriots

There is a great deal of interest just now in the local work of the Red Cross. The Call has suggested that a good way to raise funds for those who have volunteered to give their time to the movement is to establish a fair where there will be entertainments for the public.
 One form of this entertainment might be the display of special acts of Ameri- can heroism by a system of pyrOtech- nics. Such a fair, with many attractive features, would prove a popular way of raising funds for the cause of soldiers and for the welfare of their families.
 The following expressions of public opinion will show the way some of San Francisco's representative citizens view the matter:
 EX-JUDGE JULIUS REIMER-It is a grand idea for the people to do all in their power to aid the Red Cross move ment Such a fair as The Call suggests is just the idea, for the public would

 HUGH CRAIG, president of the Chamber of Commerce-Up to the pres ent time the noble women who are managing the affairs of the Red Cross Society have been largely dependent on the efforts of the business commun- ity to secure the success that has crowned their efforts. The business men have contributed to the fund quite generously and they are willing to again contribute. They are in hearty accord with the purposes of the Red Cross Society and will be found at all times only too happy to assist in the good work being so effectually per formed.
 The idea of holding a fair for the ben eft of the Red Cross Society is a grand one and it will receive the support of every man, woman and child in our Golden State. We, who are home, are only too pleased to be able to assist in every way to make the lot of those who have sailed away under the stars and stripes to fight for Old Glory and hu-

Patriotic Policeme en

Rivalry exists in police circles as well as In other walks of life. That this is true was borne out by the latest move on tn! part of the O'Farrell-street squad in buy ing beautiful silken flag to flaunt to the breezes that blow past their station house About two weeks ago the officers on duty at California and Kearny became imbued with the same feeling of patriot- ism that pervades the minds of every one at the present time and clubbing to- gether raised a neat sum, which was de- voted to the purchase of the stars and stripes Sergeant Mooney of the O'Far- rell-street station called a council of war yesterday, with the result that dupli- cate emblem of patriotism occupies po- sition of prominence in front of the sta tion Patrol Driver Pat Corbett has been appointed color sergeant and he hoists the banner of liberty daily, and now as the men pass in they look with pride on the evidence of their patriotism.

AN ELECTRIC SWITCH. Market Street Railway Company In troduces a Novel Device.

The Market-street Railway Company is placing a new electric switch at the junc- ton of Eddy and Fillmore streets. It is the first one ever used on this coast and is manufactured in New Jersey: It is placed between the rails flush with the pavement and looks like the cover of a conduit manhole. This box contains a magnet with underground wire connec- tions with the track rails at a distance of sixty feet in each direction. By sim- ply turning a lever under his hand the motorman throws the switch without having to slacken the speed of the car When the car passes beyond the sixty foot limit the switch replaces itself auto. matically. These switches are simple ir construction and if they prove satisfac- tory will do away with the delay in the present method of throwing a switch.

 l believe that a fair would net many thousands of dollars to the Red Cross Society. Let every county in the State take an active part in making it a grand success. There should be ath- letc events during the day and at night we could give pyrotechnic pie lures of what has been accomplished and what is being accomplished by our heroes in Manila Bay.
 Each county should, and I know will, leave nothing undone that might con- tribute to the success of the fair. The historic records of each county should be sent to the fair We should also have tableaux representing the pro- gress of the State from the time of the early padres until the discovery of gold, when thousands crossed the plains. We should also have exhibitions of feats at arms. The troops in our midst could also give mimic pictures of war.

C41I GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION
Essay by Myrtle Marshall at the Gram
 mar School Commencement

Before considering the government
 of our great cities let us pause and re-
 view their growth and see what it has
 meant to the people of the United Sates. The growth of these cities has been among the least fortunate and
 most significant changes in the char
 acter of our people during the cell
 tury that has passed since 1787. The census of 1790 showed only six cities
 with over 5000 population and only one with more than 4O,0O0. Now we
 have twenty-eight containing one hun dred thousand. This change has gone on with great speed notwithstanding tne increase of sel.lement over the
 vast regions of the west. A still larg
 CT and increasing proportion of the
 wealth of the country is gathered into the large cities. To us lneir govern
 ment is, therefore, a matter of con- cern and one in which we cannot fall to be interested.
 Has the history of this country been long? No, though striking, instruct i've and experimental, it has been short. Of the ten great cities of to- day only four were municipal corpor- ations in 1920. Every city has re- ceived it's form of government from
 the state from which it originated, al though this form has been repeatedly changed. This government consists
 of mayor, certain executive officers. legislature and judiciary. What IS this but state government applied to the smaller area of a city?
 We cannot deny that the govern
 ment of our large cities is the one con- spicuous failure of the United States
 we have experimented successfully as a nation and states, and have worked out a system of freedom and independ- ence between states and nation, but have completely failed to govern our great cltles. There is no more reason
 why, to obtain good government, that the control of public works should be lodged in the hands of democrat or repuDncan than there is why an adher-
 ent of one or the other of the great
 parties should be made the superinten- dent of business corporation. Citi-
 zens interested in municipal govern
 ment can secure that object only by acting together. Political differences | separate them at the start and render | it impossible to secure the object de sired equally by both parties. This
 obstacle to the union of good citizens
 paralyzes all ordinary efforts for ef-
 fective municipal government
 l The great prizes, in the shape of
 place and power, which are offered in
 the broad fields of state and national
 politics, hold out the strongest incen- | tlyes to ambition. Personal advance
 ment and government reform is nat
 urally associated with the achieve
 ments of great public objects, and
 neither party can secure this reform
 except through the success of the po-
 litical party to which it's members are
 attached. fms strife thus engendered
 develops into genral DauIie, in which
 each side feels that it cannot allow
 any odds to the other. If one seeks
 to its advantage the patronage of mu-
 nicipal office the other must carry the contest into the same sphere. It is
