employees WILL
BREAK THE SOIL
HAMBURGER'S WORKERS TO
START EXCAVATION
Plans Completed for Ceremonies at
Site of Proposed Department
Store BuIlding-Greatest
Structure In West

Actuated by good will toward the
firm of A. Hamburger & Sons, the
employees of the great dry goods COM
pany will next Thursday afternoon
take part in the initial step toward the
excavation for the foundation of the
immense department store building
which will be erected at the corner Of
Eighth and Broadway.
The movement was started several
weeks ago when active arrange
ments were being made for the cere-
monies of the ground breaking. At
that time a number of the employees
visited the management of the Ham
burger firm and requested the privilege
of breaking first ground for their new
home.
The permission was granted and the
employees are prepared to shovel away
the first dirt in the big excavation.
The ceremonies will begin at 3
o'clock, Thursday afternoon when the
Hamburger store will close its doors
to the public.
The employees will then gather in
front of the building where automo-
biles and carriages will be waiting to
bear them to the new building site,
The parade will go south on Spring
to First and then out Broadway.
After a brief ceremony the employees
will doff their coats and while the
women cheer. the men will send the
first shovelfuls of dirt flying.
The new home of the Hamburger
company is to be the finest in the west
and will be a close second to the enor
nous building of the Marshall Field
dry goods company of Chicago.
In many respects the new Ham
burger building will excel even the
famous Chicago structure and when
completed it will be one of the greatest
buildings of the sort in the south
west.
A foundation will be laid for a ten
story edifice but it is proposed to build
seven stories only until further ar
rangements can be made by the Ham
burger brothers for the installation of
an enormous new stock.
Following the ground breaking the
work will be hurried and the magnifi-
cent new building will be ready for
occupancy at an early date.

HAS FOUND HIS LEVEL

The report of w. R. Hearsts nomination for mayor
of York sort of circus aggregation Of political
and ends states that the appearance of Hearst
he was hailed with enthusiastic applause" and that he
made a speech denouncng the Republican and Demo
cratic leaders"
Now he is in congenial political company, the kind
for which nature and habit have fitted him. He is
acknowledged leader among a class who ready to
kotow before him for the sake of such drippings as
may come to them the barrel of money he presuma
bly, will tap to back his candidacy.
It is a mighty good riddance for the Democratic
party this desertion of W. R. Hearst and his
determination fight both the Democratic and Repub.
can parties felt since his appearance in
New York like "a cat in strange garret" The Tam
many leaders gave him term in congress- but Wash
ngton he was ignored politically and barred socially.
On this point the Sacramento Union states the situa
ton correctly:
In diversion by his candidacy for mayor it

Hearst's object in accepting the nomination for
mayor evidently is to keep himself before the public
until the presidential campaign of 1908. His monu
mental vanity leads him to believe that he is destined
be president of the United States that Elusive
rainbow is chasing in the political slums of New

PROBE TO THE BOTTOM

Success in the conviction of the senatorial boodlers
invites deeper probing into the notorious venaty Of the
last legislature. The methods, the energy
and the same man that in the prosecution Of
Bunkers and Emmons will win in the of French and
Wright. But there is broader field of retrbuton to
enter after the booders have been landed in state
prison The senatorial derects merely outcroppngs
in legislative that is rich in promise of similar
developments.
The splendid achievement of District Attorney Sey-
mour the prosecution of senatorial boodlers inspires
public confidence in his ability to reach the bottom of
corrupt practices during session Of the egisa
ture There is doubt in the public mind that the
of bribery already disclosed merely samples OF
many acts like kind possibly of acts glar
ingly infamous But well grounded suspicion does not
legal evidence In order to ferret out cases
of wrongdong by legislators and gather evidence that
will assure conviction there is need of a courageous,
Jealous and skifu leader in the work of prosecution
The record already made by the district attorney of
Sacramento county convnces the people of California
that upon him all hope of Illuminating the hidden
proceedings the legislative session 1t devoves
upon Sacramento county to do whatever shall be done
in that direction Mr. Seymour the man In the breach,
and to him the public will turn appeangy for deeper
probing after he has disposed of the two remaining
senatorial Doodle cases.
The people of California experience of relief
in knowledge that is possible to bring to justice
such official derelicts of high degree the convicted
senator's The audacty of those cuprits and the con-
tempt with which they treated early talk about their
prosecution the public doubt whether conviction
was possible Their attitude like that indicated by
the boss Of the Tweed ring in New York when he de-
family asked What you going to do about it?"
The way has bazed for the publication of egis
atve dongs in California and 1t Is necessary only
to follow the line marked out The four recreant
tors have brought justice and there others
similarly smirched they also should be punished The
good work so successfully prosecuted thus far should
be the end that dishonest member of
the legislature may be shown and that every one
faithful to his trust may be relieved of suspicion.

BAR TO HIGHER EDUCATION

The disgraceul of state university students,
in which Berkeley theater was wrecked last week,
recalls address delivered at the opening OF Stanford
university for the present The address referred to
by Dr. Branner acting president of the institution
1t related the habits of university students in these
days particularly the lavish expenditure of money that
is the rule compared with the vogue of generation
two ago. Dr. Branner told the students that you
spend money in some cases if you the sons
daughters of frugal American parents but OF
nabobs and princes The moral effect of such extrava
gance is pernicous upon students who have not the
financial ability to keep up with the pace set by their
more wealthy associates which leads to class dstinc-
tions repugnant to the democratic principles which
the system public education should be maintained in
this republic"
There is doubt that large part Of the fragrant
msbehavior of university students so often coming to
public notice. from the too liberal allowances of
money with which average students supplied. Rich
parents line pockets of their boys lavishy that
boys less favored apt to press for funds at home
that properly be spared Hence the class OF
students that have abundance Of money to spend as
sumo the character of a separate and highly
favored group. amenabe to such restraint as might
be expected concerning the poorer class of students
An effect harmful the spread of university educa-
ton has resulted the prodga habits Of students
who have rich parents average of university
course probably is double what it generation ago
and treble the two generations ago. when Ameri-
can universities modest colleges full four years
course in prominent university costs small fortune
now the would have been thought thirty or
forty years ago consequence the aspirations of the
greater number of young for university course
cannot be gratied Only the of parents in at least
fairly good circumstances hope in these days, to
reach the pinnacle of education.
