Good citizenship hardly justifies men
high in church councils to join in
packing caucuses and refusing their
opponents chance to be heard in
placing a ticket in nomination to be
voted on at the primaries. Such dis
reputable political methods may never
have been practiced in this city, but
there are a great many trustworthy
citizens who say that they were prac-
ticed last night by men of high social,
professional and religious standing.
But democrats will not be surprised to
learn that fair play is not allowed at
republican caucuses. The republican
party is founded on Inequality injus-
tice and class favoritism and fair and
square dealing cannot reasonably be
expected in their fractional contests.

are now occupying and cultivating
Canadian SOIL
That is a pretty good statement of
the situation. The people of these two
countries, which lie side by side for
1000 miles, are largely of the same
For one hundred years their people
have moved back and forth across the
boundary line as suited their individ-
nal tastes, interest and convenience:
no other boundary line in the world
has been so little considered by the
people living on either side. Yet Mr..
the respective governments treat their
former citizens as if they were enc
mics.
All of the people of this continent
living in the English-speakin coun-
tries are essentially Americans. The
true interest of the masses of these
people demands free commercial in
tercourse as much between the south
ern boundary of the United Sttaes and
the northern reaches of Canada as be-
tween the forty-five states and the
territories of the United tStaes.
Any policy which opposes the nat
ural and proper tendency toward free
dom of intercourse on this continent,
is economically and politically harm
full and is bound to have unpleasant
and even disastrous results. The true
policy of the United Sttaes demands
that it should cultivate the best of re-
lations, commercial as we'll as polit-
ical. with it's neighbors on the CONT
nent. OF these, Canada is by all odds
the most important now, and will be
even more important in the future, as
the immense habitable areas of it's
western country fill up with a popula-
ton largely American in it's origin.

that only a few weeks ago was telling
it's readers that a railway commission
would be Getriment to the state and
that there could be no possible need
for commission in this state for the
next twenty-five or perhaps fifty years.
The wise voters of this county will
hardly accept the assurance that leg
islative candidates named by the Holy
Rollers would vote for any railway
commission bill not acceptable to the
railroad lobby. They would probably
vote for an advisory commission"
such as the Union proposed after
stating that that kind of a commits
sion proved an absolute failure in Ore
gon. For the last eight years the dom
inant faction in this county has been
with the railroad lobby and the
leopard cannot change it's spots this
year.
Two years ago the republican state
platform pledged the party's candi-
dates for the legislature to vote for an
appointive railway commission and
for laws providing for the equitable
taxation of the property or railroads
and other corporations. Two-thirds of
the republican members of the legis-
lature, all of whom belonged to the
Ankeny Stevenson faction, repudiated
that pledge. What assurance have
the people that the same gang will not
do the same thing if again given con-
troll Of the legislature?
If the voters wish to mae SIRE of
the enactment of an appointive rail-
way commission they should elect
democratic legislature and a demo-
cratic governor. The democrats of
this state have always been free from
the control of the railroad lobby and
there is no reason to fear that they
will begin to wear the corporation COL
lar this year.

THE DOVE OF PEACE"

A pretty story comes over the cable
from Paris to the effect that it is de-
lightfully possible that, through the
initiative Of two American women.

Japan, and her mother, Mrs. Bronson,
of New York, who are credited with
diplomatic gifts of high order TIE
peace of the world, or, at least that
part of the world known as farther
ASIA may be soon restored and the
doors of the Janus temple be closed
with bang.
The ladies referred to have enlisted
the tender heart Of the Empress Ha-
ruka Of Japan, who has easy access to
the ear of the mikado, in their cam
paign for peace, a nd Mrs. Griscom,
who is personally acquainted with the
Czarina Alix of Russia, whose gentle
nature sympathizes with any real eff
fort to stay the red hand of war lis
assured of her cooperation. These
peacemakers from the choirs of heroic
women of action in this country have
wrought so we'll that an announce
ment has been made that the United
Sttaes government is to be requested

and Russia.

father-inlaW's court at Copenhagen
recently to exert his influence to get
old King Christian to induce his
grandson, the car, to abandon the
war with Japan, but he accomplished
nothing, and it remains to be seen
whether two American women, on
peace intent can prevail upon the two
belligerents to sheath the sword and
play the pipes Of peace.
Women who have figured on the
pages OF history have usually appeared
as the promoters of wars and carnage.
In small minority of cases they have

VICTIM TO WILEs OF CUPID.
Champion James J. Jeffries Takes
Unto Himself a.
Wife.

quered by man, Champion Jim JEFF
fries has fallen a victim to the wiles
of Cupid. Giant after giant rose
against him, and strove with all the
strength and skill of man to subdue
him. But it remained for a little wo-
man, scarcely over five feet in height
to bring the proud champion to his
knees.
Miss Freda Meyer, of New York, is
the woman who will be the mighty
Jeffries' life partner. At half past
o'clock last night they were married
by Police Judge Mortimer Smith in
his Office. Billy Delaney, Jeffries'
matchmaker; Eugene Vancourt and
Mrs D. Alderman, wife of a wealthy
mining engineer of Cripple Creek, and
a friend of the bride, were the only
ones present at the ceremony.
Though the announcement of their
wedding comes as a surprise to the
public it is not so to intimate friends,
who have noticed their acquaintance
and growing love. The two have been
acquainted for four years, having met
in New York on the occasion. of one
of the champions visits there. The ac-
quaintance then formed has been kept
up and has gradually developed into
a deeper feeling. Three weeks ago
Miss Meyer came to San Francisco at
her future husbands invitation and
pion tonight took his friends entirely
into his confidence and told Vancourt
to arrange the details. A license was
procured from Deputy County Clerk
Glover at o'clock, and half an hour
later the happy pair were man and
wife.
Is a Petite Brunette.
The bride is a petite brunette, 20
years of age. She is nineteen days
younger than her husband. In striking
contrast to her titanic husband, she
stands only feet inches in height.
She walks easily under her husbands
extended arm. He weighs 235 pounds,
she 100. Immediately after the we'd
ding the party adjourned to the Gas
Kitchen, where a supper was served.
Corks popped and CHEEKY speeches of
congratulation were made. Tele-
grams announcing the marriage were
sent to Mrs. Jeffries, the champions
mother, in Los Angeles, and to Mrs.
Bertha Schmidt, the brides mother.

YALE-HARVARD GAMES.
Great Demand for seats--No slump in
 Yale Tearn-Confidence

Great Demand for Seats---No slump in
 Yale Team--Confidence N
 The defeat of Yale by Princeton in baseball last Saturday has apparently excited more interest in the coming games between Yale--and Harvard. Many are talking of going from this city to Boston for the game tomorrow, and the Harvard field will probably have one of the largest throngs ever assembled there on a commencement day. There is no lack of faith in the team or in Captain Winslow, who has played a star game all the season and who has put so much persistenly hard work and conscientious effort into bringing the team up to it's present high standard. Notwithstanding the hard luck of losing Pitcher MacKay, confidence in pulling out a share of the honors is very abundant. Bowman will probably play second in place of Metcalf, whose ankle is out of condi- ton, and Jackson will be put in the box.
 The talk of a slump in the Yale team seems somewhat ridiculous to reason able followers of the game. If hard luck can be interpreted as a slump, then Yale has had one, but not other wise. MacKay from the start was de- pended upon to do the star pitching of l the season, and his going lame at the most critical time was keen disap- pointment and a great loss to Yale. For this no one can be blamed. But the Yale outfield and infield and Cap tain Winslow have proved themselves fine aggregation of ball players, and have backed up their pitchers in splen. did and praiseworthy style. To then Ifali credit is due, and with a little luck
 which, it must be admitted, is a greai
 element in baseball, it would not be |surprising if they carried off the series
 with Harvard.
 |, The demand for seats at the game a the Yale field when the return gam,
 will be played with Harvard is said tt
 be way ahead of the supply A gala
 time with the return of old grads is ex Ipected.
