ARTIST DIXON SCORES
A MARKED SUCCESS
HIS VOLUNTEER CALENDAR
THE HIT OF THE SEASON.
Depicts the Citizen Soldier in Action
and Repose as No One Else
Has Shown Him.

The hit of the season has been scored
by L. Maynard Dixon, a member OF / ne
Call art staff. His United States Volun-
teer Calendar for 1899 is pronounced one
of the most notable artistic productions
of it's character of the present year. 1t
deals with the volunteer soldier, and de-
picts him in various guises.
Dixon, who is a mere youth IN years,
has the heaven-given gift of genius. LIS
results are gained in broad effects, as
though drawn by man brought up out
of doors. He is q prOtege of William
Doxey. who has done so much to develop
the genius in the young artists and young
writers of the Pacific Coast.
Dixon has caught the spirit and the
movement of the citizen soldiery. the
cover shows a soldier and an officer. Both
are full of action. The first page shows
a volunteer apparently on his way to
transport ship. He is accompanied bY
young woman. One can almost hear the
swish of her skirts, so lifelike does sue
stand out from the page. Others snow
the young volunteers in action. A touch
of pathos is added by a scene showing
man wearing the well-known emblem OF
the Red Cross rendering aid TO wounded
Spaniard, although himself wounded
Mr.. Dixon is at present enjoying short
vacation, but will soon return to MS duties
on the art staff of The Call.

the Democratic party in California has nominated as
its candidate for Governor James g. Mcguire, OF
whom it says: He is one OF the most pronounced
adherent OF the single tax theory OF the late Henry
George, and it is upon this basis he has been nom-
mated and upon this issue his campaign is being
fought
From that point the Bostonian variations upon the
theme follow with rapdity and with brillance. The
Herald goes on: California has been for the last
thirty years land of monopolies, and monopoly on
the part of landowners who have held real estate for
the purpose of securing the unearned increment has
been one of the heaviest burdens that the State and
the people have been called upon to bear. Judge
Mcguire makes his professions of tax reform without
any qualification whatsoever, and he hopes to be able
to have elected with him at the same time suffi-
Gent number OF Senators and Representatives to
troll the State Legislature and in this way make prac
teal the reforms he is advocating.
1t is difficult to decide whether in that passage the
credit for exceptional vvacity of imagination is to be
given to the portion which depicts the sparsey pop
uated land of California as being in the hands of
nonopoists, to that which declares the shifting
evasive, lodging Mcguire is making professions of
the single tax without any qualification whatever
1t is not worth while to stop, however, consider
that point New variations follow of even greater
dash and sparkle. Describing the character OF the
opposing forces in the the Herald says: The
supporters of the Democratic ticket in California
the Populist Republicans-that is those Republicans
who believe the regular Republican party is under the
control of syndicates, railroads and other great
corporations-and the California socialists" It will
be conceded that this creation of such a body of
voters as "Populist Republicans is about good
would be the painting of white blackbird, but there
is better to come.
The supreme stroke of Boston genius is reached in
this brilliant passage: "The Republican ticket is
supported not only by the regular Republicans, but
by determined if not numerous, body of anarchists
who appear to in the possible election OF Judge
Mcguire the success of movement to place larger
and important functions upon the Government
when in their (the anarchstsD opinion government
should be deprived of all of its functions or in other
words, controlling power should cease to exist
When after this review OF affairs the Herald
closes by saying "The campaign in California is thus
carried upon local basis but issues that
worldwide in their character" we feel that
say without slang, well, should smile"

PHELAN'S ASSAULT ON THE SU-
PREME COURT.

= ONSIDERING the quality of his talk Mayor
Phelan talks too much. He is better in re-
- pose. His recent attack on the Supreme Court
was not only in bad taste, but it showed the Mayor
to be narrow-minded with a little soul, placing his
own ambitions above the statute, and his desire for
revenge before the dignity OF the States most august
tribunal The Supreme Court interpreted the law,
Phean did not like the Interpretation and calls for
the defeat of two Judges who concurred in it and
who happen to be candidates for reelection. He
would have the voters work out at the polls his own
petty spite.
Mr.. Phelan might have remembered that seven
Justices signed the decision which causes him pangs.
There was no dissent. Among these Justices were
representatives OF both parties. There who,
learned in the law, have grown gray in the admin
istering OF it. and have never before been in
directly accused OF pandering to vicious element
nor OF constituting any point with particular reference
to the likes and dslikes of dsputants. The veneer
able Jackson Temple is a Democrat. He is a man
honored Of all Concerning his integrity there cannot
be and never has been question. Yet in his haste
the Mayor condemns the entire Supreme bench He
could not well logically select any two, pronounce
them unfit, and at the time reflect upon the
standing of the Others for the others agreed with the
two.
The Mayors grievance is over the defeat of his
action to Gust the Board of Supervisors. He had
chosen a board so Intellectual and corrupt that he
wished be rid of it and have the privilege OF
ing new set Just how pure his motives were need
not here be discussed but he violated the law pre-
sumed on powers he did not possess, defeated in
the scheme, and that the Supreme Court said he was
rightly defeated is fact which rankles, and in
spasms of discomfort he gives utterance to words,
words words This is his method of groaning En-
deavoring to assai certain members OF the Supreme
Court he has assailed them all He ought to have
hefted the consequences in advance.

MAGUIRE'S NEXT FRIEND BARRY.

7 UDGE MAGUIRE has recently appealed to
II the people of the Fourth District TO elect his
~ next friend, Mr. Barry, to Congress.
This great commercial city should consider well its
interests when it to elect a Congressman to
represent it. Mr.. Barry is not fitted in any respect
for such duties fall to Representative in Con-
gress.
measures is not habit that implies influence over
the judgment of others, which Congressman must
have to be useful to his constituents.
Last February De Lone the Spanish Minister at
Washington, was detected in the writing and send
ing OF letter abusive of President Mckinley. The
language used toward the President in that letter was
grossly abusive.
Barry, in his Star of February IL, Endorsed De
LONE in the following editorial:
"The press has, by some unrevealed means,
obtained private letter from Spanish Minister
de LONE to a Spanish agent, in which he charac-
terized the President weak and catering to the
rabble, low politician who desires to leave door
open to me and at the same time to stand well with
the jingoes of his party Senior de LONE has cor
rectly outlined the Presidents character. It is
unfortunate for him as diplomat that he knows
how to tell unwelcome truth"
Do the people of this city want the man who wrote
that for their representative in Congress?
The Spaniard violated diplomatic decency by insult
ing President Mckinley, and was sent home tor the
offense Do American citizens propose now to elect
to Congress a jack-Spaniard who disgraced AHeri-
can citizenship by publicly ndorsng De Lone IN
suit?
If they do, they appear as approving the conduct OF
De LONE as admitting that the American people
have elected '1ow politician" to the Presidency
and San Francisco will appear in Congress as vlndl-
eating the Spaniard and inviting others IN like po-
sition to Insult the President of the United States
with their approval There some things upon
which men of all parties agreed The respectful
treatment of the President by foreign representatives
is one of those things.
We can imagine no more unfortunate thing for San
Francisco than to indorse De Lone by ndorsing
Barry 1t is not question of party but of patriotism
If party nominate a man guilty of conduct so in
st1tngly unAmerican, its honorable and hlgh-m1nded
members should resent it by his defeat.
Barry is begging for Republicans to support him.
Do they have the same opinion OF President Nc
Kinlev that De LONE expressed and Barry indorsed?
If they do their support of Barry will be legitimate
and proper But we say in all soberness and calm
ness that Barrys ofense against his country IN in
dorsing De LONE differs only in degree and not in
kind from an Endorsement of the Presidents murder
if the Spaniard had knitted him in the White House.
What influence can such a have in an Ameri-
can Congress? What he do beneficial to this
great city, which needs so much?
Surely men must be either indifferent to their in
terests or frenzied by fanatcism il they support
man who has so outlawed himself from every egiti-
mate sentiment of American patriotism.

A FARCICAL PROCEEDING.

q T meeting of the Board of Election Commits
I l sioners on Thursday, at which all the members
4 were present except Auditor Broderck, the
charges of improper and illegal registration made
against certain candidates for Supervisors by Regis
trar Buggy were read and summarily dismissed with
out further consideration.
The whole proceeding was farcical AS soon as the
citations were read Commissioner Block moved to
was no discussion beyond statement the part OF
some of the Commissioners that the parties accused
had evidently no intention to violate the law.
The charges against the colonzing nominees was
not that they intended to violate the law but that
Quoted an examination they would have found that
the violation had been Enthusiastically made 1t for
that reason the question was set aside hurredly and
the citations dismissed without discussion.
For an understanding of the farce is necessary for
the people to remember that among the nominees
cited by Registrar Buggy five candidates for the
Board of Supervisors who had made the improper
registration at the solicitation of Mayor Phean or his
hackers and that a majority of the Board of Elec-
ton Commissioners is made up of Mayor Phelan Tax
Collector Block and City Attorney Gallagher.
Commissioner Block who Tax Collector has
been shown be guilty of stung the military rolls
with the names OF all classes and kinds of persons
from Cinnamon to dead men, moved to dismiss the
charges Commissioner Phean, who prompted
the accused to commit the false registration
and City and County Attorney Gallagher, one OF
the Gallagher Magures voted to sustain the dis
missal What else could have been expected from
such board in such case? The only recourse for
Justice is the appeal to the people election day
