OUR WINE MAKERS OPPORTUNITY

San Franciscos city chemist has followed the ex-
ample of his Los Angeles counterpart. He has made
careful analyses of 25 lots Of California wines that
found sale in San Francisco The official re-
port of his work shows that twenty-five of the speci
contained coal tar dyes IA salicylc acid 10 ben
zine acid and % strychnne ranging from traces of the
poison up to apprecabe quantities"
Arsenic and suphurc acid also were discovered
the first presumably having been used for spraying
grape vines and the second for cleaning wine casks
Wine makers declare that the aduerants are neces-
sary preservatives and that they are not used in
harmful quantities The correctness of that Judgment
obviously depends upon the quantity consumed by the
individual Strychnine in "appreciable Quantities"
would not be regarded with pleasure by wine alb
probably upon the dose whether allopahic or homeo-
pathic.
The wine industry of California is one of the most
important in the state but it ought to be vastly
important than it is. California should have a
practical monopoly of the wine business of the United
States in such lines as the state produces. But Euro
pean wines of greatly inferior quality imported in
immense quantities, crowdng aside domestic brands
to great extent merely because of popular idea in
the east that the foreign products always superior
The federal government has Just undertaken to stop
the Importation of adulterated foreign wines vgor-
inspection of all such lmportations with regard to
aduerants has been ordered All wines that fall under
the ban will either be destroyed returned whence
they came at the expense of the exporters.
There to be ripe opportunity, therefore
the California wine makers to push the sale of their
products in the eastern markets primary requisite
such effort however is that our native
wines not doctored with strychnine sulphuric acid
other ingredients suggestive OF delirium tremens
Absolutely pure California wines, fairly by
consumers would entirely dispace the greater
part Of the wine imporatlons from Europe

OVERHAULING THE LEADER

fruitful theme for discussion by the California
press has grown of the Los Angeles water supply
project All the newspapers in the state, far
have observed regard that project mastery stroke
policy Starting from that basis the future of this
city is considered with reference to its prospects
competitor for first place in the rank of Pacific coast
municipalities. Such discussion narrows of course
San Francisco the only that Los Angeles will
have to pass in order to win priority.
The Santa Barbara Press gives expression to it's
views on the subject this novel style: "Gven San
Franciscos position and Angeles progressveness,
San Francisco would have one million people;
verse the position and Los Angeles might have thirty
thousand"
Weighing that conclusion carefully, the Oakland
Herald looks the bay toward the big city and
remarks:
"There certainly grain of truth in the argument
of the Santa Barbara Press. Los Angeles had nothing
but climate upon which to build"
And then our Oakland namesake goes on to speak
the wonderful transformation presented by the south
ern metropolis today. OF San Francisco, the other
hand, it says:
Meantime San Francisco has grown steadily, to be
sure, but comparatively slowly"
Assuming that the ratio of increase of population in
the two cities will continue the scale shown by the
record of the last ten years. Los Angeles will be in the
lead before dozen years have passed. There is
no apparent reason why Los Angeles should in the
decade than probable the contrary, that
the ratio of the citys growth will be greater in the
future than it has been in the past a result Of
causes with which all readers of The Herald are ia
miar.
Los Angeles is going for that frst-pace prize
enough and like the baby in the soap picture will
not be happy till it gets it."

son has served as special correspond

color of Southern California life this
clever writer has created a wide de-
mand for her descriptive articles and
her character sketches. While con-
tributing many columns each week to
the New York, Chicago and Boston
dailies Mrs. Robinson has done much
work for the San Diego Union. Weary
of the exacting demands of her posi-

fortnight ago and will devote herself
to literary work. She has signed a
contract with an eastern syndicate
which will publish a series of short
stories from her pen.
Mrs. Robinson will continue to live
in Southern California On her return
to San Diego she will occupy one of
her cottages at La Jolla.

A poUBLF.BARRELHp TARIFr

Something new in the tariff line is promised for
inspection by the American people, 1t is product Of the
national reciprocity conference which closed its
sion yesterday in Chicago About all that disclosed
concerning the proposition is its title and that
Is by no clear.
AS understand the proposition from vague au-
sions at the conference It is elastic pliable,
thing in the nature Of the ndeterminate for
crime that have come into vogue certain Of the east.
ern states.
The new departure is called "the maximum and
minimum" tariff. The nearest approach to expana-
tion Of It that find in the proceedings of the confer
ence at Chicago is this extract from Of the
speeches:
"T cannot but recognize that the maximum and mini
tariff system possesses merit which is of great
importance uniformity of application The single tariff
policy bears unjusy in cases, notably in its ap
pcation to free-trade England and 1t Is in part to
remedy njustces of this nature to show our apprecia-
tion of large and liberal opposed to one
that would sell everything and buy nothing, that we
consider with increasing interest the achievement of
reciprocity by means of a double tariff"
The new proposition appears to be modelled on the
plan those clothing suits which guaranteed to fit
"elther man boy It appears to be adjustable to any
situation and adaptable to any country 1t will suit
alike the free trade notions Of England the prohib
itory tariff which Germany is imposing leading lines
of American foodstufs. And with the complete formu-
lation of this doube-barreled tariff may expect,
gwen out at Chicago, that it will "ring cry
through the United States for years to come,
instead Of the familiar call for reciprocity"
While awaiting that ring, however. the American
people will expect great deal more light on the sub
ject before tumbing another to indorse the
all-httng and ever-servceable maximum and mini
tariff"

ADOPTS ElGHT-H0UR DAY
FOR MUNICIPAL LABOR
City Council Orders Clause Inserted
in All Contracts Under the
Vrooman Act

The city council, by resolution, or
dered the eight hour and Chinese
clauses inserted in all Vrooman act
contracts yesterday. The resolution
called for the insertion of a clause
such as is put in all contracts entered
into by the city council for public
work, except that the clause inserted in
the Vrooman act contracts is drawn
from the penal code Of the state and
the council contract clause from a
special act of the legislature.
This act makes it unlawful for any
contractor doing public work to work
his men over eight hours a day, except
in cases of dire necessity, and prescribes
a fine of $40 day for each man worked
overtime. The law also prohibits the
employment of Chinese laborers on pub
lie work.
The Vrooman act contracts are under
a different law and are signed by the
superintendent of streets instead Of the
mayor. Superintendent Hanley has
made a practice of inserting a clause
similar to the one adopted yesterday in
all contracts signed by him, but action
taken by the council yesterday was to
make the action legal.

PROHIBITS SALOONS IN
VICINITY OF SCHOOLS
Council Instructs City Attorney to
Prepare Ordinance Preventing
Dramshops

on a motion by Councilman Barney
Healy of the Seventh ward the council
yesterday instructed the city attorney
to prepare and present an ordinance
prohibiting the granting or transfer of
a saloon license to a point within 600
feet of a public school.
"I had occasion to believe" said
Councilman Healy, that an attempt
was to be made by certain parties to
get a saloon license in my ward and
put up a saloon next to public school
house. I went to Clerk McKeag of the
police commission and asked him If
something could not be done in the
commission to prevent the granting of
the license. He told me that the ques-
ton had not yet come before the COM
mission, and as far as he knew the
commissioners knew nothing Of the
proposition.
II do not think such a location the
proper one for saloon, especially as
there is ample room elsewhere, and as
I could not spare the time to watch the
deal so as to be sure to be on hand
when it came before the board I de-
cided that If a saloon next to a school
house was not right in the Eighth ward
the same was true in all of the wards,
and this led to my motion"
Councilman Healy was unanimously
supported in his action by the council
and the ordinance will probably be
adopted on Monday.

HAD THE WRONG CARD
Governor Russell Succeeded In Making
the Audience Laugh y

Governor Russell Succeeded In Making
the Audience Laugh ~
The late Governor Russell was a fine
conversationalist, and always enjoyed
talking. He was asked to address a
meeting in one of the small cities of
Massachusetts one evening, and went
by train. The cars were quite we'll filed
when he got in, SO he asked a gentle-
man if the vacant seat beside him was
engaged, and receiving a negative nod
in answer sat down. Immediately
conversation started, and was carried
both men alighted. Before they left the
train they exchanged cards and shook
hands cordially when they separated
on the station platform.
Governor Russell arose to address the
meeting and commenced by making
flattering remarks on the city and peo-
pie, and said: 'I met one of your citi-
zens on the train coming here tonight,
and we had most enjoyable conversa-
ton; in fact, don't know when I had
such a delightful talk as had with
him. BY the way, he gave me his card"
taking it from his pocket and reading
the name on it.
At this the audience was convulsed
with laughter. The governor was some
what taken aback, and failed to see the
point, and so asked a friend about it
after the lecture was over. The friend
said: "Why, that man is deaf and
