in the San Francisco Chronicle.
Public pride should long ago have
corrected this glazing violation of
good taste. No other city in the
world suffers so much from plastered
fences and disgustingly foolish and
nasty advertisements as San Fran

fences, loud colors and sensational
theatrical posters. | for one am

He will be forcibly reminded that
his own portrait may some day be
used to give Endorsement to a new
brand of coffee, soap or cigars. There
ought to be law protecting
prominent men from that kind of pub
licity given by poster on a high

Visitors to our city are reminded at
once that we believe in gaudy adver-

Advertising has free play in the

wrong. 1t is one Of the secrets
Of success. Advertising legitimate
amusements and commodities is per-

selves against the unsuitable display
Of suitable advertisements first of all
In the interest Of good taste.
One need only compare a city like
Buffalo, N. Y, with San Francisco to
see the effects OF vulgar printing on
the general appearance of the city.
Indeed, any eastern city could be
selected at random to prove by com.

The commission have granted $25,000

be expended in giving work to those
who need it, with preference for out
lay upon public roads. The money is
to be returned in five years.

story bearing on the relations of Eng

in this connection:
Though not being a lover of war,
L think that many of us have learned
to thank God that the conflict with
Spain was ever forced upon US. 1t has
shown the world what we are. We can
also thank Him for the love of England
in that matter, for although we knew
of England's friendship. perhaps you
nave no idea of the extent of her friend
ship or her love. This last winter,
when at Barbados, we found the West
Indies British fleet there, and invited
one of the British naval officers of high
rank on board our ship to dine with
US. The conversation turned on the
Powers opposed to us during the war
with Spain, and the British officer ex-
claimed:
Gentlemen, perhaps you knew that
England was with you, but you have
no idea of what England really did for
you. / was on leave when the Spanish
American war broke out, and together
with several other officers was imme-
diately ordered back to duty. We had

against the United States by the other
Powers. If any such demonstration
had been made we would have headed
them off,"

that the men had absolutely no griev-

Tampa. Fla, Aug. lit is stated
to-day that Padilla, the secretary of
Resistencia and the one strike leader
who has successfully evaded deporta
ton by the citizens, has fled from the
city to prevent being summarily sent
out, a condition that was believed to
be sooner or later inevitable. He is
said to have sailed direct for Havana.
This removes, it Is claimed, the last
straw to which the strikers were cling
ing, and it is probable that labor mat
ters will adjust themselves in the next
few days. 1t is stated to-day that the
selectors of the Resistencia organiza-
tion have resolved among themselves
in full conference to leave the city.
All of the selectors attended but one,
a Cuban, who is not in sympathy with
the strike, and 1T is alleged tonight
he has been forcibly sent from the city.
None of the closed factories will open
