THE SCHOOL SCANDAL.

' E are not surprised that portion of the Los \AI Angeles press should resent attempt to
 publish fair statement of the school scan dal in that city. It IS unusual for a California newspaper to present both sides of political con- troversy without color that do not blame esteemed contemporaries in the southern city for manifesting their amazement with round of abuse. In defense we need only invite the fair minded public to consideration of some of the arguments which have been used prove The Calls bias. They at once disclose the annus of the criticisms and charges.
 It was not to be expected that the Los Angeles papers which have taken sides in the school scandal would tamey submit to an unprejudced recital of the facts concerning the affair The last thing ap- parently they have desired was to see the truth in print. This being the case, is quite natural that they should prove their utter want of honest mo- lives and judicial disposition by hurling at us charges of all sorts the least of which an ale gation that Mr. Webb and his hackers have paid for the publication of their side of the story in The Call. II this true 1t would disgrace the press which makes the charge. The mere fact that man accused of political crime is compelled to travel 500 miles to find paper in which to publish his state ment ought to prove conclusvey that all the local sheets paid to abuse him.
 We have done nothing more in this matter than to make pubic a few tacts What the Los Angeles Times calls defense of Walter L. Webb was his signed statement, for which did not vouch and which we have never supported in any way. Under the circumstances thought 1t than fair that Mr. Webb should be permitted to tell his story especially since the Los Angeles papers were all prejudced against him. The Call did for him what it would be ashamed to refuse a dog-namely, gave him chance to defend himself from the assaults of his enemies.
 It is not difficult understand the motives which inspire newspapers to conduct themselves those at Los Angeles being conducted in this The spirit of unfarness manifested is the source of much of the contempt that is everywhere in the country taking the place of the respect which has heretofore been entertained by the people for fair and honest press. But the attitude of the League for Better Government IS inexplicable The name of this ganization imports honesty and truthfulness. Yet 1t has adopted resolution concerning this journal which contains two falsehoods and several lines Of abuse utterly out of place in such body.
 We are sorry for the League for Better Govern ment of Los Angeles. When 1t becomes necessary for an organization with such name to denounce
 newspaper for publishing the plain truth 1t is time to wonder what 1t begun for and why it exists The League for Better Government, however, may safely be left to work out its own destiny. Public opinion in the Orange City will doubtless finally make proper disposition of it. In the meantime we may say that The Call will continue to publish the truth about the Los Angeles school scandal, as well as all other scandals, without fear favor.

WANTED TO TAKE HIM
 HOME.

Willie Collier, the comedian who Is now playing so successfully an engagement at the Baldwin Theater, and thereby hangs a tale. As the story goes the original production of 'The Man From Mexico was made at Hoyt's Theater, New York City. Up on Broadway at the Bijou "Courted Into Court" was being exploited by Rich & Harris com pany of farceurs, headed by Comedian John C. Rice. Rice and Collier are warm friends and Willie conceived the idea of perpetrating one of his practical jokes on his friend John c.
 After the second act of "The Man From Mexico" Mir. Collier jumped into cab with his famous prison suit of stripes and funny makeup and was vhirled rapidly to the stage door of the Bijou Theater and making his way through the subterranean passageway which admits thespians to that play house by the way of Sixth avenue, he suddenly appeared upon the stage from the prompt side in the first entrance just at the supper scene. which consti- tutes one of the important events in the second act in "Courted Into Court" and walked rapidly up to Rice grasped that comedian by the hand and said: John, old man, you're the best that ever came out of the bunch and I am glad to see you.
 The appearance or COlller III StrlpeS, IL is needless to remark, created a decided sensation Neither the audience in front nor the actors on the stage knew what to make of 1t, and the expression on John Rice's face is said to have been a study. Golfers exit was as quick as his en- trance, however. but not so successful in view of the fact as he emerged from the stage door chuckling over his clever ruse and started to re-enter his cab a bluecoat minion of the law, who had been watching his movements, laid a vise-like grasp upon his arm and said, Lets go back to Blackwen's."
 The consternation of Collier can be bet ter imagined than described. inasmuch as that comedian had another act to play for his own audience at Hoyts, and t took the combined efforts of Frank Nc Kee, Harry B. Harris and Playwright Charles Fl. Hoyt to convince the sleuth that Collier was only masquerading as a convict and was not real felon.

MORE MONEY NEEDED.

n the meeting Wednesday evening of the / \ finance committee of the Golden Jubilee 1t reported that about $I2,ooo has been contri- buted the fund for the celebration In itself that is good round sum- but not sufficient for the occa- sion To carry out the grand pageant the lines designed and to make 1t a memorable feature of the year will require upward of S2o,ooo The contrbu- tions reported therefore far short of the required to accomplish genuine triumph. More money Is needed
 It is hardly possible the progressive and enterpris- ing people of the city will permit the celebration to fall short Of expectation in any particular by reason of the lack of a comparatively few thousand dollars It ought require personal visiting and solicit ing to raise S2oooo in city of the size and wealth of San Francisco for purpose that will rebound much to its profit and its credit The bare announce ment that such an amount Of money is requisite to accomplish object which the city has undertaken ought be sufficient bring 1t promptly in liberal donations
 San Francisco has recently had some striking ob- ject lessons proving the benefits of cooperation in public enterprises, She has seen the Valley Road constructed by the energy of her own people and with money subscribed at home She has seen not able improvements carried out in street cleaning, paving and lighting by the wisely directed efforts of association of merchants. The jubilee movement IS. of course, not commensurate in magnitude with these efforts of joint action but nevertheless it tends the welfare of the city, and ii supported with the vgor 1t merits will prove beneficial only by at tractng visitors the city but by introducing the mining exposition with parade that will advertise 1t all the Union
 The time for preparation is short The time in which to make opportune contributions is still shorter. The money Is needed The civic patriotism Of the people is appealed to. Make your subscrip- tions promptly.

THE VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCES

HERE has been some mention in the public
 prints of Mir. Zanoli of New York Zanol is
 barber, and, for aught appearing to the con trary good one. But he has been in some re- spects unfortunate For instance every woman he married no sooner got accustomed to the domestic detail than she died With thoughtulness most rare, Zano had foreseen the possibility and pro vided for 1t by having the insured. Habit ualy, he dried his tears, got married some and again procured a policy, that if the new partner of his joys should be called hence he would not be left conlfortless. He was also worried some what by the untmely death of other relatives, and the fact that they all happened to have been insured in his favor created prejudice against him. Finally the police, if Zanols cup of woe was not already stopping over, arrested him in a manner most un- feeling. They seemed to have no sympathy for one whose wives had been torn from him in regular pro- cession, leaving him nothing but tender memories and policies convertible into cash. But the multi widower is be free The cruel allegations of the police could not be proved. Some are born to grief the sparks to fly upward. The barber is evil denty one of the lot
