September. sweet September,
Mild month OF autumn cheer,
We sigh as we remember
How we wished that you were here.
The reed bird, chubby rover,
Whom we hailed with hopes of fun,
From sunstroke topples over
Without waiting for the gun.
You are but the ashy ember
OF a hope that's doomed TO die,

You are hotter than July

HE accounts given in The Call of the methods
 employed by the State Board of Prison Direct
 ors Tn dsposlng of the jute products of the San Quentin institution establish one fact beyond the peradventure of doubt Whether willingly or not 1t IS certain that the directors have been used by the bag manipulators of the State for their own profit Inc letter as well the spirit of the Ostrom act has been violated with frankness which is amazing While It may be that the directors have not com mltted an indictabe oense it is unquestionabe that they have laid themselves liable to removal for neg lect of duty.
 State Prison Directors are honorary constitutional offlcers They are appointed for years and they recelve no salary. The law prescrbes their duties with partcularlty. Among other things they are quired to do astonishing as it may seem, is to at tend 10 their business The Wardens are their agents in the management of the prisons, but the Wardens have no authority to violate the law in their names The constitution authorizes the Governor to them after hearing for neglect of duty The evi- dent intent ot this provision to make them attend to their business or resign
 The most charitable thing that can be said of the Board of Prison Directors is that they have left the duty of enforcing the Ostrom law and dis posing of prison-made bags to take care of itself For this the Governor is authorized and directed to deprive them of their offices. The first board ap- pointed under the constitution removed by Gov ernor Stoneman for ofenses compared with which the placing of the product of the San Quentin jute mill at the mercy of the Pacific Coast bag ring is as mountain to a mole hill
 The jute factory at the prison was established for the purpose of emancipating the farmers from the thradom of the local bag manpulators. It has cost the State upward of million dollars. There never was any intention of making profit out of it. The purpose of the Legislature was to provide of throwing upon the market annually a sufficient Der of grainbags to break up the corner" by which few capitalists in this city used to fleece the grain rasers of the State out of million every year. For long time the prison product effected this pur pose. Lately, however, the bag manpulators have been getting in their deadly work.
 It is the duty of the Governor to thoroughly inves tigate this affair. The constitution, indeed makes it his duty to do II he find that the price of jute- bags has been managed by the Prison Directors so to play into the hands of the dealers-whether de- signedly not-he should not hesitate to at move them. This he to the farmers of Cali fornia.

FAREWELL TO FATHER SCANLAN.

Editor San Francisco Call: The parsh- toners of Sacred Heart parish of North Temescal would thank you for the use of your columns to tender to Father Mar tin P Scanlan this proof of their affec- tion.
 Rev. Martin P. Scanlan, now pastor of the parish of Dixon, has been our as- sistant pastor for the past three years. A big man with a big heart, he has en- deared himself to everybody, from the old man to the little child, as the expres- sions of love and regret prove. Loving and sympathetic to a fault, he has scat tered among the sick and the poor un- der his care @ good part of the small salary he received. The splendid success of our late fair was in no small part due to his efforts, and when lately our house of worship was destroyed by fire he ex- cited our admiration by his energy in getting means to rebuild our temple of God.
 Our Archbishop has taken him away from us and given him larger field of action by making him pastor of the par ish of Dixon. The change was sudden and unexpected and few of us could shake hands with him before he left.
 Therefore, Father Scanlan, through the Call, we wish you God speed. May God grant you health and strength in your new labors and crown them with success. May your new parishioners appreciate your great zeal and kindness, as do THE PARISHIONERS OF THE SA-

| C ENATOR MORGAN is making his annexation N speech to the Senate in executive session. It
 - is the nstallment plan and will last for some time yet
 The Senator has got through the sugar part of his argument and closed on Tuesday with blood He insists that want the islands in order to get cheap sugar We pay now $Ioo,oooooo a year for foreign sugar every pound of which be prohtably raised by American farmers and by white labor
 When the reciprocity treaty subsidized Hawaiian sugar the total island product was 2ouooooo pounds year It has increased under a bounty taken out Of American taxpayers amounting to $Sooo, 900 year, until the crop is 33o,oooooo pounds per annum It IS the habit of annexationsts to say that this is small and inappreciable amount but in fact it is equal to half the entire and beet sugar product oI the whole United States for the year I8o6
 It IS wholly the result of the reciprocity treaty "hich taxes American beet sugar growers to main tain and enrich their competitors in the islands In 1896 we produced only 52ooo,ooo pounds of beet sugar so that Hawaiian planters supported by tax
 ing our producers of beet sugar sent into their market about SIX times as much sugar as our beet growers produced. To say that such competition is not op- pressive of the American farmer is to utter char acteristic Morganism
 The Alabama Senator turned from sugar to blood shed He assured the Senate that refusal to annex the islands will inevitably lead to an eusion of gore Why should it, and how will it? The Senator is ill the habit of seeing blood the moon and elsewhere With France and England already bound in a solemn treaty to let the islands alone and standing therefore IF line with the United States in guaranteeing their independence, what nation dare attempt to interfere? There is none that will or wishes to- England is the ! only power outside the western continent that can ever menace and she has her military base on this coast at Esquimat in touch with coal and supplies How would possession of Hawaii strengthen us against attack made from that base? Senator Nor gan quotes Captain Mahan in favor of taking Hawaii as an ocean military base but he suppresses that part Of Mahans argument in which he says that to take without extra fleet to defend it and the construc- ton of vast Notifications to protect would be "a ruinous mistake" If Senator Morgan intends ever to be honest with American taxpayers here Is good place to begin Let him tell the truth, for a novelty, and tell 1t all, sort of penitential offering
 Taking Hawaii means defeat of the rising hope of the American farmer producer; it means taking from him $4oooooo to pay Doles debt, and S8 900 year to pay the island planters excessive profit and tell how many hundreds of millions in for tifcatons and a navy.
 Paying taxes is a necessity and not luxury The American taxpayer is apt to get too much of it. Sen atorial buncombe comes high but we don't have to have it.

4 CARD OF THANKS.

Editor San Francisco Call-Dear Sir: The sorrowing parents, brothers and sisters of the young man Edgar Allen Miller, who recently died at the pesthouse in your city from typhus fever, as stated at the post mortem examination, desire to tender. through your columns, their deep and heartfelt sympathy with the bereaved rel attVeS of the brave, Self-Sacrificfng hero nurse William Hawkins, who so nobly volunteered to nurse our beloved boy; also to the doctors, nurses and friends, who, as we are informed, did all in their power to relieve his sufferings and master the disease. We also thank your paper for the notices made of the case from day to day, and it's showing the great wrong done in taking him from the room in St. Luke's Hospital, for which he was pay ing, and placing him in such ill-condi- toned quarters as to preclude any pros pect of recovery.
 We are pleased to learn that the health authorities caused all of his clothing and effects to be burned. Through this let ter we hope to hear from other kind friends in San Francisco, for which we will be ever grateful. Thanking you for this publication, am faithfully yours,

SAN FRANCISCO TO THE FRONT.

II PPARENTLY for some reason but really for / \ a lack of reason, the Chicago Inter Ocean has been endeavoring to underrate the importance ot San Francisco as an outftting point for Alaskan and KlOndike trade. In a recent issue 1t declared The Golden Gate people have been caught mapping While they have slept Seattle and Tacoma have knocked the plums into their basket. Even Port land, Or, feeling in full share of the busi- ness, has failed to advertise and IS in the same con- ditlon as San Francisco In Chicago and the East neither of these prominent cities mentioned in con nection with Alaska. It is their own fault"
 If San Francisco is never mentioned in connection with Alaska in circles where the Inter Ocean is read 1t IS only because the InterOcean does not publish the news, and that is not the fault of San Francisco This city has furnished news and lots of it. on that subject, and all live papers in the East have given their readers the benefit of it.
 San Francisco has sent through the East travel ing committee to forth the advantages she has to offer to all persons going to Alaska either for pleas ure or profit. She has prepared exposition oi mines and mining that will be of immense value to ali who wish to study that industry through attractive object lessons. Her merchants and her manufac- turers have advertised extensively in Eastern papers but possibly not in the Inter-Ocean She and her people have done all that could be expected of them to enlghten ignorance and ignorance remains 1t is clear the press of the East has not done its duty
 The attempts Of any paper in the East-or in the West for that matter-to underrate the prestige O. San Francisco of unpleasant but none the less they evidences that we are going forward Movement always begets opposition. Even the wind opposes the advance of one who moves rapidly, and under its new management the Inter Ocean is windy By the resistance we can measure the force of our motion upward and onward San Francisco had praise enough so long she sat idly by the Golden Gate, and she is denounced only because she is going to the front.
 We can make San Francisco known in connection with the Alaskan trade even in the ignorant circles where the InterOcean is read and forgotten and we going about 1t in the right way. The Golden Jubilee and the Mining Fair taken in connection with the revived enterprise and energy of our merchants and manufacturers, are receiving large attention throughout the country Many of the most infuen- tal papers in the East have devoted much space to these undertakings, and the city is now talked of wherever the Pacific Coast is known or the Alaskan excitement felt It is only in certain ciques in Chi cago that the Fasteners are out of date on such subjects

THE SEX OF THE ANGELS.
San Francisco, Jan. r. 1898

San Francisco, Jan. IT, 1898. To the Editor of the Call-Dear Sir: In your last Saturdays issue, last page, in giving a description of the Breon arch, you have the following: "On the main passage is a figure of the guardian angel of heaven itself spreading her divine in fiuence over the whole structure, etc" Now, as a matter of fact, the Bible everywhere speaks of the angels as be- longing to the male sex. In the last chap ter of Daniel, first verse. is the follow ing: "At that time shall Michael the great prince d. e., the ArchangeD, stand for his people," etc. In Revelation. chap ter twelfth, seventh verse, is the follow ing: And there was a war in heaven. Michael (the ArchangeD and his angels fought etc. Michael is the protector of Germany. Yours truly,
