THESE CUMBER THE EARTH.

F there is any specimen of the human race who is
useless and annoying he is the pugilist. The aver
4 age prize-ighter has redeeming traits He will
not even fight If he sincere in his proestations
of desire to match his proves against that OF others
of his kind much might be forgiven him. But he IS
above all else a liar and fraud. He has wish to
enter contest on his physical merits When he goes
into the ring it is with the understanding that he is
to win or that he is lose and the purse has been
divided in advance.
We do not wish to defend prize-hghtng, even if it
were to be conducted fairly At the best would be
miserable business, without legitimate excuse. For
man to have fair knowledge of the art of self
defense is not bad idea II he never has occasion
to call his ability into active demonstration, there is
health in the necessary exercise But the man who
makes business OF fighting is Of necessity brute,
and by rapid gradations becomes a swlndler The
average pug is by instinct vagrant and tramp.
He will not work Criminals are his associates. He
willing to be defeated if he share of
the gate receipts He ought to be in Jail breaking
rock on the highway.
II recollection is not at fault Sullivan the only
decent fighter this country has had in recent years,
and the only element OF decency about him was that
he was ready to any foe and put up the best bat
tie he could Corbett met and defeated him In those
DAYS Corbett was giant in strength and marvel of
age He had not learned the tricks of the ignoble
trade To-day Corbet is wreck of his former self.
Sharkey a sinian- proved deck-scrubber, never
fought fair fight and will. They pair OF
takers and they are as good as the best.
That pair of rowdies, ready to swinde the public,
should be capable OF attracting much attention is
disgrace to the nation. Everybody knew in advance
that the contest would be sham. Everybody rea-
lied that even if not sham it matter OF no
more consequence than bar-room brawl. Yet from
sea to sea the public focked to the bulletin boards,
and in every city the booksellers made unholy money,
The ideal prize-fght is yet to occur. Occasionally
pugilist is killed in the ring, which is good thing
so far as it goes In the ideal prize-hght Corbet
and Sharkey will exchange mutually fatal blows.
Perhaps Sharkey whip Corbett; perhaps not In
any event, no matter. The who quarrel across
the alley fence and are ultimately led into the Police
Court to explain are of more consequence.
We favor utter suppression OF prze-hghting, the
conviction of every pugilist vagrant They would
be bad enough if honest. AS set of confdence-men
they utterly exhaust the patience. Morally they rank
with the purveyors of gold bricks. That they should
be peted and pampered and tolerated by the police is
a reflection on the common intelligence.

WORSE WEATHER THHN OURS.

NUR dry weather and fair skies this late IN the
J tall are not wholly pleasing to us-even the
few showers that have fallen have not sat1shed
us-and the voice of the complaner is heard IN the
land. Nevertheless, when reports read OF the
weather in the East is probable the most dolorous OF
Californians will comfort himself in the sunny days
and rejoice that he is not smitten by the blasts that
rage beyond the Rockies
The fall weather has been unusually severe the
entire eastern portion OF the country. Snowstorns
here and there and occasional billiards reported
as early as October, and now the winter seems to
have come down upon them in earnest. A cold wave,
accompanied by high winds and snow, starting from
the Rocky Mountains, has swept over the East and
carried suffering, destruction and death with it.
The sweep and range of the storm enormous.
Beginning along the line of the mountains and ex-
tending from Dakota to Texas the blasts continued
with a scarcely mitigated severity the CONT
nen to New York and disappeared upon the Atlantic
From every portion of that wide reports OF
disaster. Hardly any locality north of Mason and
Dixons line seems to have escaped the effect of the
wave
So heavy the snow that railroads block
AIDED, and in cities streecars stopped The
telephone and telegraph service was crippled. Bust
seriously interfered with and nearly all in
dustries more or less injured. Nor did the disaster
end with damage to property Even in the large cities
persons found frozen to death in the Streets and
there be little doubt that when reports come in
from the rural districts it will be found that many
persisted the bleak prairies the desoate plains
over which the storm ragged unchecked.
In comparison with the disasters of weather like
this the drought in California hardly be accounted
serious evil The damage done to property by the
single blizzard that has opened the Eastern winter
has probably entailed greater loss in one fierce
sweep than was inflicted upon California by the
drought during the whole Certainly, with
such reports from the East, we have good reason
for complaining of weather. Moreover, as the
winter in and progresses we shall have further
cause to be satisfied with California. Too many fair
days are, of course, not be desired but they
better than too many Billiards.

BADLY MANAGED SCHOOLS.

IN his annual report School superintendent NeD-
ster notes the interesting fact that between the
L wears 1896 and 1898 the cost OF maintaining the
schools Of this city increased from $50 43 per PuPh
in the former year $37 IS in the latter In otheF
words the expense of maintaining the School depart
ment has jumped S. per pupil III the short space Oh
two years or at the of 81 50 per year Durng the
period OF two years the number OF teachers mas IN
creased 143 while the increased attendance amounts
only TO 1908. The payroll OF teachers mas llole"Seu
$93,4I2 since 1896.
These figures indicate that the management OF the
schools OF San Francisco has simply become
wretched Every Board OF Education during the
past five wears has contributed this result, and 1t
will not do to place all the blame upon the present
combination of politicians who are running the de-
parment The fact of the matter is, the schools are
in politics. and so long they remain in it will be
impossible to effect change.
The pressure on each successive Board OF Education
TO make places for teachers is enormous, and Direct
ors seek their Offices for the sole purpose OF increasing
the payroll Some years ago the Supreme Court de-
cided that the board could not dispense with the
services of a teacher without Hence the an
nual habit OF dismissing large numbers OF them and
filing their places with favorites had to be dispensed
with As a substitute, the Directors have simply
added to the number without providing work tor
them to do.
Under the new charter it is thought the department
will be taken out of politics The Mayor will appoint
Board Of Education, which will practically be con-
tinuous in Office that is to say the terms OF the mem
bers will expire alternately One OF the first duties
OF this board will be the complete annihation OF the
present system. Exactly how the work will be done
cannot be oreshadowed but that the public will de
mand decrease in the expenses OF the department
Of from 10 to 20 per cent goes without saying.
II the present system should continue for while
longer it would swamp the taxpayers.

BARE FIST POLITICS.

TWO Alameda politicians have Just had six
round contest with bare knuckles, their object
i being to settle some mooted question which the
campaign did not have adjusted satisfactorily.
Whether the disputed point is any clearer now IS not
certain but both OF the fighters bruised and one
OF them was licked. Out OF evil may come good.
Perhaps the plan is not bad as it seems at first
glance Every campaign is marked by more or less
pickering and punctuated by the dull hud OF the hos
tile ward-worker's fist This tends to make OF the
polls place OF disorder, unpleasant for the quiet
citizen who prefers hit nor be hit, yet a
witness in the Police Court. If the scrappers would
consent to defer their scrappng until after the count
ing of the ballots and then retire to secluded barn,
there to arrive at conclusions the public veal would
be promoted
To be sure there is law against fighting; but as
nobody pays any attention it and husky tribes OF
pugilists make business of defying it, while the
world looks on and bets, there is reason why a
politician who knows his enemy needs humping and
who in all probability needs humping himself should
be denied the privilege OF getting into the ring and
being knocked out OF it.

THE EFFECT OF CARTOONS.

~ CORRESPONDENT of the New York Times,
\ who claims to be social philosopher well
as a student of politics. has reached the con-
cuson that the election of Theodore Roosevelt was
due to the cartoons of the Democratic press repre-
senting him as Wild ranting cowboy, riding buck
ing broncho loaded up with whisky and bowie-knives
and waving pistols and lariats around his head in
promiscuous confusion.
His argument is that these cartoons had no effect
upon any one except young men who had Just come
OF age Fresh from their youthful reading of Dead
wood Dick Red Handed Bill, the Bandit Of Bloody
Guch and other thrilling tales of a like character
the cartoons appealed to their love of adventure
Their excited aginations in Roosevelt the ideal
fighter from the headwaters of Bitter Creek, and
every one of them worked for him, shouted for him
and voted for him.
From the standpoint Of this view of the effect OF
cartoons it might be argued that the election OF Gage
in this State due the votes OF BARRIERS and bald
headed men, The pictures of the Republican candi-
date with a mass of hair waving above him like a
sunburst of luminous beams above mountain-top
must have appealed to every barber who wished job
of haircutting and to every with billiard-ball
Uranium who wished for hair to cover it
Possibly also the great Republican victory OF 1896
may have been due to that representing Mark
Hanna in suit of clothes spangled all over with dol
ar-1narks In those hard times when every in
need of money, many an mpecunous must have
felt strongly attracted this citizen, who, starting
with nothing had become rich that he not only had
his pockets full of coin but could hundred-dollar
checks on his trousers and his coat. To many voter
that picture must have seemed representation of the
ideal American and they voted for him because he
looked like an image of prosperity on monument
smiling at poverty.
Imagination reels in attempt to depict what a
dizzy landslide of votes would occur if the next time
Belva Lockwood any of her sister suffragsts
for the Presidency she should be depicted ballet
dancer tickling the jocund earth with prouetting
toe while its light fantastic fellow pointed to the
eternal stars There would be stopping either the
young voters or the old boys Youth would be fired
and age enraptured. The country would be very
nearly unanimous
The conclusion OF the whole matter is that the
toon is boomerang. 1t is likely to come back as
to go forward The grave and serious American is,
after all the most humorous of men, and there is
telling how picture may appeal to him. 1t pleases
him to depict his revered Uncle Sam not up-to-
date man of the world as he is, but as clock
peddng Yankee of hundred years ago. SO it
seems the American not only likes caricatures but
likes the men who are carcatured. At any rate, the
effect of cartoon is clearly of the things you
can't most always sometimes tell.

LOVE IN THE HEART MAKES
HOME.

Feathers and moss and wisp of hay,
"a wonder" we say, and the wonder
grows.
Pressed round by a soft, plump breast,
With a leaf looped low 'gainst rainy
day
SO the bird has fashioned her nest.
AS we study the curious thing,
Twas love in the heart
That prompted the art
And sped the untiring wing.
Feathers and moss and wisp Of hay,
But the future looks rosy and bright;
With a bit put by for rainy day,
Love makes every burden light.
"a wonder" we say, and the wonder
grows,
Or sunshine or storms may come,
Though but twigs and moss
Are latticed across
The love in the heart makes home.
