REVIVE THE OLD PLAN.

IF the Board Of Supervisors desires to secure
| practical plan for adapting the present sewer sys-
tenn OF San Francisco to new system which will
provide the city with adequate drainage would bet
ter abandon its attempt get funds by transfer and
adopt the resolutions under which one of its prede-
cessors a few years ago began the same work
As we recall the history OF the former sewer com
mission, it was composed of three unsalaried com
missioners, who were authorized to employ engn-
GERS and supervise their work An appropriation of
$4,000 was made and general plan OF operations
adopted. But before any tangible results had been
produced the Board of Supervisors which created
this commission went out of office and a machine
Democratic board came in The members OF the
latter unable to control the patronage OF the
commission as it had been embodied and in order
secure the appropriation for their dependents they
repealed the sewer resolutions, dismissed the COM
mssioners and turned the money into the Street De
partment fund.
This a triumph for machine politics which re-
suited in the entire eclipse OF the movement for
sewer reform. Professor Davidson, Irving NJ Scott
and Engineer Mendell as we remember, comprised
the sewer commission. They employed Engineers
Manson and Grunsky who, with force of draughts
men, were proceeding to reduce the sewerage prob
lem OF San Francisco to a scientific basis when the
entire scheme interrupted by the appearance Of
the political bosses and the repeating orders of the
Board of Supervisors
Nothing has occurred since the dismissal of this
commission to render its plans obsolete and the
work should be taken up now exactly where it was
then left off. The same gentlemen are still alive
and available for commissioners Doubtless all three
would accept an appointment at the hands OF this
Board of Supervisors and serve without compensa-
ton But at the outset the board must make up its
mind to one thing-it can procure no plans that will
command respect nor secure the services OF compe-
tent commissioners or engineers, unless politics is en-

FLHUNTING IMMORTALITY.

N the course of its campaign for the publication OF
the city from the grosser> evils which corrupt its
youth The Call has accomplished much in the way
of reform The racetrack gambling, which led to the
ruin OF many lives has been suppressed, and the
exposure OF indecent pictures in the phonograph par
lorS has been restricted by the conviction and the
punishment of several of the proprietors of such
places
In the campaign thus far the object of The Call has
been to direct attention to corrupng evils wherever
carried on whether downtown out at the racetrack
but it has now to point out that evils the
more offensive by of the place where they are
maintained A public scandal is more pernicious than
hidden scandal nasmuch as it poisons larger num-
Der of minds, and a gambling room other nefa-
rous place increases in its perncious influence in
proportion to the openness and boldness with which
it is carried on.
In the course of its fight against gambling rooms,
poOlroomS and ewd picture rooms The Call has had
occasion to point out that considerable number of
such places are conducted along Market street and
aunt their niquty in the face of all who pass up and
down that thoroughfare AS it is the main highway
of the retail trade of the city, the promenade along
which pass the great mass of men and women engaged
in shopping, and the which the great
streetcar lines rum any corruptng evil tolerated there
becomes in the very of things the cause Of
far greater injury to the community than if hidden
away from sight in the slums among the less ira
versed Streets and its suppression IS therefore, of the
greater importance.
1t is of course impossible to rid community alto
gether OF the vicious elements of humanity. There
will be always more or less depravity in every con-
siderable city so long as the human race remains what
it is. 1t is not too much to demand, however that
vice shall be made hide itself and depravy to seek
concealment. There is why dives gam
bling rooms, nickel-in-the slot machines, indecent
pictures lewd and vicious places of almost all kinds
should be tolerated on Market street
The police and the Commissioners above them have
been very ndulgent to certain forms of vice along
Market street and in neighborhoods almost as well
known and frequented. There have been suspicious
OF men high in authority in police circles being inter
ested in gambling rooms and dives and worse. Pos
sibly some of the propretors OF these places Mar
ket street may have protection in high quarters. II it
be so, it is time the public should know it. If not
why they tolerated in their shameless depravity?

MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.
RUSSIANS IN ALASKA

Editor of The Call: Unjustly Offend
ed and feeling the insult given to $4,000
members of the orthodox church, peO-
pie and clergy, living under the pro
lection of the Stars and Stripes, l pub
licly protest against the unfOunded as
sertions publicly made by Mr.. Curtis
P. Coe as published in the Examiner
on last Tuesday morning. in the re-
view on clerical club proceedings IN
der he caption, Movement to Close
Theaters on Sundays"
First-Among many an American
born citizen, and as a economically or
dained minister, I worked in this field
since 1888. Previous to this I was a
missionary assistant in Alaska. Among
many Americans, Governor Swineford
is one who approved of our work in
Alaska
Second-To show the falsity Of Mr..
Goes assertion, with which he so bit
terly attacks the Greek church, 1 am
compelled to set forth the fact that l
have been connected for some years
with the diocesan cOlsistOry, to which
all priests must report, and l do not
know of any case of the kind to which
our accuser refers. I admit there have
been instances in which our preachers
declared that non-C Christian Unbeliev-
ers have sometimes fallen to the level
of the brute.
Third-Mr. Coe declares that in the
field, to which he has not been called,
most of the people belonged to the
Greek church and knew nothing of
morality" I repeat that he is correct
in regard to the population. for actual
ly nine tenths of all the people on the
Island Kodiak and the surrounding
places are members of the orthodox
church. Now, naturally arises this
question: Is this missionary of the
Baptist sighted because the parish
priests of the orthodox church in his
neighborhood prove to be a barrier to
the prosperity of his work by their zeal
in their own holy mission?
Fourth-About the morality in the
Greek church; for want of time and
space [ shall put forth but this one
statement: Look into San Quentin,
which contains over a thousand pris-
oners, and you will find that only five
of the number were baptized in the
orthodox church. And out of these
five there is but one Russian, one Cir
cassian, etc. Yours truly,
SEBASTIAN DABOVICH.
A priest of the Holy Orthodox Church,

tirely eliminated from the movement If the work
is to be done by the City Hall politicians nothing
will be accomplished toward the solution OF the
problem, and when the time comes to vote bonds
the people will bury the entire scheme under shoal
of ballots.
If the present Board OF Supervisors appoints a
commission it should thereafter turn it loose with
instructions to report scientific plan, not de-
signed to promote the interests of sewer builders
street contractors or private interests OF any kind.

duced. Almost all of have our own
private nightmares. which are usually more
grotesque than awful, yet the vision, what
ever it happens to be, is certain to plunge
one into a paroxysm of mortal terror. My
own pet nightmare is rather curious. At
