HOW COUNTY COMMITTEE
LOST THE PATRONAGE

of the machine bosses by the Republic
an Supervisors. Being responsible for
good government, the Supervisors
naturally want a voice in the saying
who shall be the Instruments of that
government
1t was for this reason that the Su-
pervisors, when the proposition to re-
organize the police, fire and road and
garbage departments on strictly parti-
san lines was passed up to them, said
that they would have none of it. They
did not want to stand for police force,
a fire department and a road and gar
bage department organized in the in
terest of any man or set of men, With
those three departments filed by the
creatures of a boss the boss would
rally the ignorant and vicious to his
support, and good citizens would be
practically powerless. The boss could
perpetuate himself and his creatures in
power indefinitely. 1t is the same vici-
Gus system that has been tried and
found wanting on the mainland, the
straight spoils system.
One of the members of the county
committee the other day. speaking OF
the endorsement of the application OF
Willie Vida for a place as special po-
liceman said, most ingenuously: "Oh,
the committee endorsement only goes
to the question of party fealty. We do
not enter into the applicants qualifi-
cations"
And yet, the applicants qualifications
would seem, to the good citizen. to cut
rather an important figure in the case.
At all events. it has seemed that way
to the Supervisors-and, as result
there will be no general throwing out
of men from the police. fire and road
and garbage departments on the first
of the month, to~Inake room for Sheriff
Browns followers. If any vacancies
occur in those departments, the rec
ommendation of the county committee
as to filling them will be listened to-
That is all. No men will be thrown
out for party reasons, and without
cause.

There will be no special session of
the Legislature to appropriate money
to keep up the militia said Acting
Governor Atkinson yesterday. f'There
is no occasion to call one. The assur-
ance that the militia will be kept up by
popular subscription will suffice.
NO; the militia is not going to be
disbanded. 1t is still in existence and
will continue to exist. I do not want
to say anything that might be con-
strued as a criticism of the action of
the Legislature in dealing with the Ma
tional Guard, but it might have been
better if the subject had been more
fully considered. The County Act has
taken our territorial policy away from
US, and there would be nothing to take
its place if the militia were to be dis
banded
But, as I said, the militia will not
be disbanded. And we have the situa-
tion we'll in hand, so far as labor
troubles are concerned There will be
no trouble. My predecessors have put
things in line, and they will be kept

THE AFTERNOON REPORT.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.-The main
starboard boiler of the Bennington,
forward of the smokestack, is the one
which exploded. The explosion was
shore and from the piers, also by many
in pleasure craft and ferryboats.
Bodies and fragments of bodies were
hurled high in the air amid the frag-
ments of the vessel. Launches and
ferryboats picked up the bodies of the
dead and dying in the water, and saved
many of the wounded. They We're con-
yeyed from the wharf to San Diego
hospitals in wagons.
Lieutenant Perry is one of the
wounded He is burned beyond hope
yof recovery.
! Commander Lucien Young was on
shore at the time of the explosion. He
was soon on board and ordered the
watertight compartments closed. to
prevent the damaged vessel from sink
ing. She has been beached.
LIEUT.. BLUE NOT ON BOARD.
An injected line into the Bulletins
Associated Press dispatch announcing
the Bennington disaster, caused many
to believe that Lieutenant Victor Blue
had been among the victims. 1t ap-
pears however, that the popular officer
was not on board nor even in San
Diego at the time. On Thursday p. m.
at three, Mrs Blue. who had been left
here when her husband sailed away In
the Bennington. received the following
cablegram at the Royal Hawaiian Ho-
tel:

James Dalrymple, the Glasgow street
railway expert. whom Mayor Dunno in
vited to come to Chicago to confer with
him concerning the placing of the street
railway system of that city under munic-
ipal control and operation, and who has
been quoted far and wide by the capital
istic press as declaring that the munic-
ipal ownership of railways in this country
is impossible because of the danger OF
building up great political machines,
emphatically denies that he ever made
such a statement. To the contrary Mr..
Dalrymple says that the municipal owner
ship of railways in this country is moi
only feasible but advisable. That this
presupposes that they will be run upon
purely business basis and that they will
have no connection with politics. Thai
he never said that municipal ownership
was impossible here. because it would
serve. to build up powerful political ma
chimes. That the government ownership
of the postofice in this country work
well and there is no reason why practi
cally the same control of the street rail
ways should not work equally as well ans
be kept free from politics. That tn
municipal ownership of railways and ga
p.auts of Glasgow and other cities o
Great Britain does not develop graft
nor political machines. That the munic

Direct Legislation.

The defects in our present form of
government are due to the fact that we
have not sufficiently discarded the usages
of constitutional monarchies. We are
still hampered by governmental theories
which popular Judgment rejected even in
the days of George III. One of the
most notable survivals of monarchic
rule is the election of our senators by an
indirect vote. The trainers of the con-
stitution, agreeing on compromise, ac-
cepted the theory that it would be wise
to check the power of the lower house of
congress by means of a senate indirectly
chosen. This fa1lacious theory has led
to much harm in Nour day. The senate
has become house of lords in which the
advocates of special privileges oppose
popular laws. The latest evidence of
senatorial dereliction was the fragrant
course adopted by the committee on
interstate commerce. In order to hood
wink the people the committee invited
only railway officials and large shippers
to testify as to rates and determinations.
This action of the senate committee was
taken so that the people may not be too
much enraged when, at the next session
of congress, the senate antagonizes the
presidents plan for railway regulation.
If there is to be remedy for such
misuse of power the people will find it in
the election of senators by direct vote.
Wherever corruption lifts its head the
advocates of reform are urging the peo-
pie to take the reins of government
more firmly into their own hands. Four
states and a number of cities have adopt
ed the principle of the initiative and
referendum. Seeing themselves con-
fronted by serious perils of political
kind, the people of these cities and
states did not seek to obtain relief by a
return to exploded forms of government.
On the contrary, they placed their hope
in direct legislation.
The people have decided to regulate the
railways. They have decided that they
must purchase their public utilities.
They have decided that if they are to
obtain good government they must have
home rule. In many localities the peo.
pie have decided that they must have the
right to veto measures passed by iegis-
latures and councils and to initiate legis-
lation that their lawmaking bodies have
ignored or neglected.-Neb. Independent.
