PROPOSED PARK IMPROVEMENTS.

1HILE there is so much well-founded dissatis- \AI faction among the people with nearly every branch of municipal administration. 1t IS gratifying that in the Park Commission the city has one administrative body to whose work the citizens can point with pride, and to all of whose proposals for further improvements attention be given without even a shadow of suspicion that anything in the way of job is be furthered the expense oi he taxpayers.
 The commission has at this time most notable Improvement under consideration, outlined in The Call of yesterday. The improvement contem- plates the connection of the park with the Presdio by the requirement. of blocks of land stretch ing from the one to the other and lying between Thirteenth and Fourteenth avenues The title to a considerable part of these blocks IS already vested in he city and there IS to believe the remainder nay be obtained by donations or contributions.
 With the control of these blocks in the hands of .he commission 1t would be possible to connect the park with the Presido by grand plasance occupy Ing the whole width between the two avenues-a ipace ample enough to afford room for broad drive way with roadway for horsenen and bicycle track we'll. Nor would these occupy all the ground There would still be large spaces for trees flowers md expenses of grass.
 The appropriation for the maintenance of the park sufficient to enable the commission to purchase he portions of the blocks required and the under taking of the improvement is therefore dependent upon the lberaly of the property and other tzens who may be willing to contribute to the pro- posed work It IS therefore to be seen what can be sone 10 obtain the needed donations and contrbu- ions in time to begin the improvement this winter
 The benefits in the way of increased land values certain to accrue to all property in that heghborhood rom the construction of the proposed driveway are uch that the owners of the desired lots could well ifford to donate them to the city as was done by hose owning land along the line of the Dewey boue- rard They have now an opportunity of enhancing he sdcsiraby of their property for residence pur- poses and at the same time aiding in the accom- ,1ishment of notable establishment of the city, and is to be hoped they will promptly take advantage ,f it

BERKELEY's GREAT NECESSITY.

F the regents of the University of California need l object lesson i'll college presidents they may prohtably study for brief period the record that has been made by Professor Jordan of Stanford. Not only has this learned since he took up his residence at Palo Alto lifted the Stanford institution into worldwide fame but he has himself become important factor in the intellectual and scientific life of the country. Far and wide his. opinions are quoted and his scientific knowledge utilized and it cannot in the of things be very long before Jordan will represent abroad in almost everything intellectual
 An instance of how live college president by keeping his thinker and pen moving can confer dis tnction upon an institution under his charge is shown by Professor Jordans recent letter the nexation of the Philippines This subject IS just enjoying the attention of the civilized world. Pro- lessor Jordan has not only tackled it with charac- terisc bodness but he has evolved ideas which are at once thoughtful and original. He says the Filipnos are no more fit for self-government than so many monkeys, and he sententiously deals inn periasn this kind of logical blow: "C) Dominion is brute force; (2) dependent nations slave tions; (3) the making of men is greater than the building of empires"
 The terseness of Jordans letter has caused it to be everywhere quoted, and thousands now hearing of Stanford University who knew that such an institution existed before. Some of the ngo papers are abusing him. which is additional advertising, since it demonstrates that there is college president somewhere out West to whom it is necessary to pay attention
 All this is business. While in his letters and speeches Professor Jordan contributes great deal to the moving thought of the tme thus justfying his existence in the world, the main result of his - teectual activity is the development of Stanford Uni versity Young men all over the country naturally seek college possessing such president, and in of time parents will send their nowhere else If the regents of the State University will look at this matter from practical standpoint they will observe that the way to make the institution in their charge national concern is to place at its head college giant like Jordan. With his prototype in the State the intellectual fur would fly hereabouts in a manner that would be at once lively and edifying.
 Besides, like Jordan placed at the head of the Berkeley institution the students there might occasionally beat the Stanford boys at football A brainy president in university makes everything Ego" from the ground up.

oria, vs. Daykin Brothers, Thomas and
Medora Paige, of Cleveland, found that
the defendants tried to unjustly obtain

her former lover J. H. Whitney, Of
Cleveland, from prosecution for alleged
embezzlement, Miss Greenwalt prom
ised to pay Thomas Paige and others
$4,000, and assigned her interest in her
fathers estate, of which she was to OBJ
tain possession at the age Of 25. When
this age was reached the executors Of
the Greenwalt estate refused to trans
fer the property in accordance with the
assignment, which was followed by the
litigation just ended.
