The Board of Supervisors met at =

present Messrs. Curtis, Morrison, ellis

MRS. German and Margaret McFan,

that an order be given them for a coun-
~ rate ticket to Los Angeles for Mrs
Jordan, the woman who with two chill
dren was stranded in this city. and
who was obliged to stop over night at

that the Relief Society would stand the
expense, but desired, if possible, to get
county rate ticket, which could only
be done by an order from the Board of
Supervisors.
All OF the Supervisors agreed that the
case was a deserving one, and on mo-
ton OF Mclaughlin the desired order
was made out and the ladies left after
expressing their thanks for the board S
action.
After approving number of claims,

PLAIN
SENATOR FAIRBANKS
STATEMENT.

Senator Fairbanks delivered the En-
glish grafton at the great gathering of
German societies in Indianapolis on
Sunday. He justified the Philippine
policy Of the Government. He stated
the incontrovertible syllogism that our
flag was carried into the Philippines as
a natural result of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. 1t is there now lawfully, the
symbol of power and authority. There
fore, there it should remain.
The analysis of this proposition of the
Senator is not at all difficult AS a war
result we overthrow the one and only
recognized authority in the Philippines,
namely. the Spanish. Our authority
was substituted and set up in its place
After that we established the lawful
ness of our domination by treaty of
peace in which Spain, for and in con-
sideration of the fact of occupancy as
a war result, and for the payment of a
cash sum, ceded the archipelago to us.
Therefore we are lawfully in possess
sion and rightfully so.
The anti-expansionists have had not
one word to say about Guam, into
possession of which we came in pre-
cisely the same manner. Their SYM
pathies are stirred simply because an
ambitious Malay contests our right to
remain in the Philippines and asserts
his claim to dominate. Senator Fair
banks, however, did not go into this
detail, satisfied with the statement of
the logical proposition. He did add,
however, some strong and incisive
words, when he declared that we went
into the Philippines in no spirit of ven
geance. We went in to overthrow
Spanish authority, which had been
maintained there for over 300 years.
Our. authority took its place and by all
the world that fact has been recognized

THE VACANT SEAT AND PACIFIC
COAST ASPIRATION.

In his speech at San Francisco Mr..
Bryan called attention to the fact that
when the Spanish American treaty was
under consideration by the United
States Senate a proposition was intro
duced in that body which looked to the
ultimate recognition of the independ-
ence of the so-called Filipino republic.
The proposition came. in the nature of
a promise to the Filipinos of their in
dependence. 1t was proposed in the
form Of an amendment to the Bacon
resolution giving the Cubans assurance
of their independence. It was pro-
posed by the amendment that the same
guarantee should be given to the Fill
pinos. When the matter came to a
vote the result was tie. and it became
necessary for the Vice President, pre-
siding over the Senate. to give the cast
ing vote.
This truth very naturally and strong
ly calls attention to the fact that the
Bacon resolution was an anti-ex-
pansion measure and that THE pro-
posed amendment to it was intend
ed to broaden 1t in that direction. If
that amendment had prevailed, the de-
ter1pination of the Government of the
United States to incorporate the Phil
1pnines into our territorial domain
would have been defeated. It will be
seen, therefore that action upon the
amendment was test of the opinion
Of the Senate on the subject of annex
ing the Philippines-the result of that
test was a tie. an even division in the
chief legislative body of the Nation,
and the decision of the Senate in the
negative upon the proposition was
made by the casting vote of the Vice
President.
The Record Union" has heretofore
called the attention of Mr. De Young
of the San Francisco Chronicle" to the
important fact that the Administra-
tion will need the support Of all the
Senators of all the expansion States. If
the Administration fails of such sup
port, then the policy of expansion wiz
be defeated. From that statement
there is no escape. Tt is proposition
corning its soundness.
The question for the Chronicle to
answer. therefore. is whether it agrees
with Mr.. Bryan or with President Nc
Kinley? Mr.. Bryan has pointed out
the imminence of the situation. There
can be no mistake about that In the
face of it whoever advocates the main
tainance of the Senatorial vacancy
from California. should Immediately
abandon the National Administration
and fall into the Bryan ranks. That
would be, must be. the logical march
ing order for all who favor the pres
ent status of the Senatorial vacancy
question.
The Record Union" has heretofore
asserted, and it now reaffirms the state
ment, that the vacant seat from Cali
fornia in the United States Senate, may
change the whole policy Of the Nation
and defeat every aspiration of the Pa
ciflc Coast for supremacy in the rising
commerce of the Pacific Ocean. Thus
the question is seen to be a very broad
and statesmanlilxe one. one rising above
and superior to partisanship or ques-
tions Of personality. The logic of the
situation is undeniable: We have
stated it with perfect cIeaness and
fairness. and no one will be permitted
to evade it.

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Clunie Opera House last even
ing the Vroom- Addison company pre-
sented the idyll 1.-The -Reapers." 1t is
pathetic a poetic and a soulful story
we'll told. One can scarce pay MISS
Addison too high compliment as
translator. She clothes. in the trans
position, the language of the author IN
English pure clean, forceful and poetic
She preserves the beauty Of the origi-
nal text so far as that is possible IN
translation But it does not follow
that story that reads we'll acts we'll
AS a rule it is true that the stage
story dependent wholly upon the text is
unsuccessful as a play. Too much dia-
logue is just as bad as too mach
action, but of the two give US the lat
ter. The trouble with THE Reapers'' is
that it is devoid of action. 1t is a
stage-told story and nothing more.
The figures moving in it would be even
more real to the hearer if he sat with
closed eyes and peopled the stage from
his fancy 1t may be said that with
| all of Miss Addison's translations the
| fault is lack of action. They are charm
| ing stories, they are robed richly,
graced with the art of the good style
and interesting in recital rather than
by dramatic action and recital in COM
bination. But from this it is not to
be assumed that 1.-THE Reapers" is not
good entertainment. Indeed it is
charming story telling, and those who
! love stage story telling will be graft
fed with it. 1t is not wholly devoid Of
action, however Indeed charming,
spirited, handsome Miss Bomar as
l3o tu tn
the woman scorned by one who is
worthy and sought by one her clean
soul abhors The righteous anger and
spirited expression of the character, she
gives US with true realism, natural
ness and ease. One cannot but ad-
mire the spirit and maidenly anger
which invest her comely features with
the frown of just Indignation. Mr..
! Vroom as the aged soldier who rises
with artful anger to defense of his
child, has done nothing better. His
reading of the lines given to Father
Remy is admirable. Miss Addison was
seen to good advantage as the wronged
Claude" in fact she better fitted the
| part than anything she has assumed
! in this engagement. The blessing OF
the Harvest Sheaf was as pretty and
| idyllic thing as one may wish TO see
upon the stage. It's reverential SIM
plicity, it's profundity of thankfulness
to God for the bounty Of the field-were
revelations of beauty. 1t is regretful
that Claude" had not more manly
and less weakened and sobbing lover
than the Sylvan depicted by the actor
who undertook the character last night.
That Rose wished for better man
and let us hope that she found one
| for husbandhwas perfectly natural. The
play introduced for the first time Miss
Leigh, who as the matron of the home,
proved herself capable and intelligent.
Mr.. Mackey's rascal of the play was
clever; it is a difficult role and it is
easy to understand how one less prac-
ticed might have made it ridiculous.

Under the above caption Hoard's
Dairyman has the following, which
shows that brain in live stock is quite

else, and incidentally emphasizes the
great importance of the thoroughbred
in all animal life:
"PcoIlc who have come to the pos

note the superior character of their

may say, than the native COW. 1t is
so with all the improved breeds of
farm animals.
II. w. Huntington, writing in the
Outing Magazine on the Collie dog,
says Length of ancestry tends to de

force of centuries of heredity.'
