San Francisco, Dec. 31-Congress-
man Julius Kahn. defeated for re-
election in the Fourth California con-
gressional district by z. ]. Livernash,
has served notice on the latter of a
contest for the congressional seat. The
official count gave Livernash a major

on the snap tally principle, gives Kahn

The Distinction of Residences.

The action of the health officer in disci-
plining the subordinates who carelessly dis
infected the premises of a resident whose
child had been suffering from scarlet fever,
indicates that there are lengths beyond
which sanitary science need not and should
rot be permitted to go In guarding against
the spread of disease The fumigation of
domestic premises should not be accompa-
MED by acute discomforts for all occupants.
1t is supposedly the purpose of the fumiga-.
ton to kill all of the disease germs which
may Turk in the room. In order to do so to
the best effect all the fumes of the dsin-
fectant should be strictly confined to that
room. In some old houses. where the wood
work and the masonry have separated, or
the door frames have shrunk from the walls
or floors. this may be difficult. but 1t Is as
suredly incumbent upon the official In
charge to take every possible precaution to
stop up such cracks. either by FASTING pa
per strips over the vents or in some other
way. If the work is done carelessly as to
fill the entire house with the fumes there
is a presumption of a lack of sufficient
knowledge which might easily nullify the
entire purpose of the undertaking. The
process should be accompanied with the
least possible discomforts to the residents of
the house and it is well that the health
officer has by his response to the complaint

The Isthmiana,

What are we to call these newly fedged
republicans of the isthmus, who have just
broken their shell and have stepped, crow
ing into the international chicken yard?
Are they Panamians. or Panamaians?
Shall they be known henceforth as Pana-
manians or Panamaites? The question Is
important, for we shall soon be referring
rather frequently to them collectively, and
1t Is well that word be agreed upon gen
orally to designate them. One of the re-
cent dispatches from the isthmus describ-
ing the manner in which the people re-
ceived the news Of the secession. mentioned
them as Panamians. This, while euphonic,
changes the accent from the last syllable
of the original name to the penuIt It
people of Indiana, the final "a" being
dropped and replaced by the sufflx 'ians"
In that case, however, the accent remains
on the same syllable of the original word.
The difficulty with Panamaians and Pana-
mates is that those forms awkwardly
guage Is not conducive to smoothness. The
preference of the people of Panama in the
matter of their name will have weight. If
they call themselves Panams doubtless in
time that name will become general Or
perhaps eventually the world will agree to
will derive especial significance when the
neck of land is pierced by the canal and
the worlds commerce flows through 1T.

The Boy, the Skates and the Pave.

A citizen has complained to the Commits
siOners that his children are not permitted
by the policemen to "roller-skate on the
sidewalks near their home. He asks If the
regulations cover this matter and II 80
why child should be- deprived of the right
10 use the sidewalk for this healthful and
pleasurable sport. There Is something to
be urged on both sides of the case. The
city child Is surrounded by official don is. &"
He must not play base ball in the streets
because he might destroy property, hurt
the street users or get hurt himself. He
must not play the game in certain vacant
lots for fear he may break windows. He
must not do this, or. that, or the other thing
because he Is only small unit in a great
community, and the others have rights to
peace and comfort which he is not permit
ted to invade. Where can he ''roller-skate?'
In the street he Is in constant peril of his
life. On the sidewalk the pedestrians get
in his way or policemen pursue him. On
the lots the ground is too rough or soft.
The housekeeper demurs at the use of her
floors. There really seems no place for the
youngster to perfect himself in the engage
ing diversion of warm weather skating.
The pedestrian has his view of the case,
peculiar to himself He fears the roller
footed boy He has far less confidence in
the youngsters skill than the latter him
self. He knows, perhaps by painful eX-
perience, the treacherous nature of the
skate. both roller and ice He has sat sud
denly and hard when the foundations of
the world have seemed to collapse beneath
him. He fears to dodge the approaching
boy, because he knows that will only con-
fuse the skater. Yet he fears not to dodge,
for the boy may not be quite the master of
his skates he appears to be. Sometimes
the danger passes. but the fear has scored
It's shock. Again collision occurs. The
pedestrian sits down hard. He calls aloud
for the Intervention of the law. The lad
fees and blames the awkwardness of the
unfortunate elder
Where shall the boy skate? 1t seems to
be written In the book OF boyhood that he
must skate, at some period in his develop
ment. and the city's smooth streets and
walks are ideal for this purpose The Com
missioners, 1t would seem. are facing a
dilemma.

Tips.

The tipping evil has gone to great lengths

wonder that people are rising in revolt
against it on all sides. The railroad porter

ton. not for special consideration but for
the rendering of what should be the usual
service. The tipping system in this coun-
try Is an anomaly. an excrescence, wholly
unlike that abroad. In Europe the wage
scale is low, and the subordinates of every
class must get tips to bring their incomes
up To living point. Here the wage scale
IS high enough TO enable any one of the tip-
taking class TO live decently and comfort
ably Tips are to them extras.
Nevertheless. the custom is growing The
man who gives no tips gets poor service
every where. Unless he constantly changes
his patronage he finds his reputation as a
non-tipster working against his comfort
Walters ignore him. BARRIERS shave him

chairs. Cabmen fail to see him. Boot
blacks hurt the tender parts of his feet
Porters forget to brush his clothes and to
help him with his baggage. If enough men
were to agree to give no more tips a crisis
would soon be precipitated. but the end
would be a readjustment of relations and
perhaps of wages in those establishments

pean system.
The latest instance of tipping has come
to light In a complaint filed with the Kan
sas state board of railroad commissioners
by a grain dealer who alleges that train
men deliver empty cars only to dealers VINO
tip them. and that this system has become
general in western Kansas. Primarily this
evil springs lrom the insuf1ciency OF the
cars. Were there enough to accommodate
the traffic the trainmen would have no pos
sible excuse for their discrimination IN
favor of the tip-givers. But the railroad
company is further to blame for not keep
Ing closer scrutiny over the distribution OF
the "empties," The lack of facilities Is
similarly the basis for the Indifferent serv-
Ice in many restaurants which can be cured
only by means of tip.
At the rate at which this nuisance has
grown during recent years 1t will soon
reach the old world proportions. Now Is
the time to check 1t. If at all. before IT mas

bility of correction.

Panama.

. Secretary Hay states the case with char
acteristic Iucidity and fairness. In mo-

must do business with somebody, and there
were the officials of the newly proclaimed
government. We at once recognized them.
and there we are 1t was all very sudden,
and 1t was all very necessary. The result
is order both in Colon and In the city OF
Panama. and. so far as Is known. through
out the isthmus. The men who address the
world in the name of the new government
declare that they speak for all the people OF
the country, and there Is a good deal TO
support the assertion. Certain 1t Is that
the people of the isthmus have for some
time manifested discomfort with their treat
ment at the hands of the Bogota govern
ment and 1t is easily assumed that the re-
lection of the canal treaty exhausted their
patience.
The immediate future may present embar-
easements. but presumably this government
will cross bridges as it comes to them. IL
would be idle to expect any other course.
We have started with the procession, and
shall keep up with it. The isthmus is there,
the railroad is there. the treaty obligations
are there. and we are there fulfilling them.
Colombia we are told will attempt to
coerce Panama. With whose aid? She Is
as poor as a church mouse. and war on the
isthmus would in the circumstances be eX-
pensive even for a rich government. An in
vasion by land is next to impossible, and by
sea almost equally out of the question. But
let II be supposed that an army is raised by
Colombia and sent to the scene. Who will
support it? The transcontinental railroad
companies? They very rich, and are
accredited with generous spirit in spend
ing money to defeat the canal. But war
In Jungle would tax even their spirit and
resources. For the Panamaites would of
course resist. and as the building of the
canal would be one of the objects of their
resistance they would have the sympathy
not only of the United States but of Eu-
rope
If the new government keeps Its feet and
the United States negotates with 1t for the
canal. there ought to be no difficulty about
going ahead with the enterprise. Our author
ity to dig and to control coming from the
people of the country will admit of no chal-
lenge from any quarter.
