GIVING ITS BEST ATTENTION."

One OF the insurance companies that sells insur-
ance that does not insure wired Governor Pardee
and Mayor Schmitz that Losses shall receive our
best attention" Now this looks very fair on its
face although it is decidedly ambiguous on rehec-
ton Best attention" might be the worst of treat
ment and only look good to the insurance men who
handle this particular concern.
The sort OF best attention" that has been given
the policy of this won pay institution is an
fer Of 90 cents on the dollar As late yesterday
afternoon an imported adjuster for the company
told poicy-holder that San Francisco ought TO
be glad to get red cent out of the insurance COM
panies and if l had anything to say about the mat
ter no one would get mill.
Here is the history of this best attention" 90
cents the dollar policy:
First-Two years ago a very high premium was
paid on the policy and these payments continued.
The company begged for more insurance and was
refused. The face of the policy only 80 I3 per
cent OF the value of the merchandise i'll the store and
the best of attention was given TO securing more
insurance on the place by the agent of the par
ticular insurance company i'll question. Additional
insurance was refused.
Second-When the city caught fire the policy
holder visited his place of business and with COM
petent witnesses established the fact that the earth
quake had not done any damage The fire swept
over the district and subsequently the store and its
contents were totally destroyed
Third-Sixty days ago the agents OF the COM
pany, presumably acting advice from the home
Office said they would pay dollar for dollar. Proof
OF loss was filed and accepted.
Fourth-Two weeks ago the insured sent
for and asked, "Mhat is your propositions" He
answered Dollar for dollar, as you promised"
The adjuster laughed him and said. Guess
again" The insured offered to settle for 90 cents
on the dollar and told that he might get Is
cents, but if he did so he could consider himself
mighty lucky as the company did not care to settle
San Francisco losses any way. Yes, they had the
money but they would not settle if they could
avoid it.
The 6o-cent offer was as elusive as a wrath No
definite promise to pay this bid could be
exacted from the adjuster, and it is presumed that
best attention" in this case means the same sort
OF deft service that the thief gave the pocketbook

DECREASE OF TRADE WITH CHINA.

The Department of Commerce and Labor has
given out figures that show that the trade of the
United States with China decreased sharply in
April and maintains that it is still an unsettled
problem to whether the decrease is due to the
cause. The exports to Japan decreased in a larger
ratio than did those to China and it would seem
that this fact answers the question of the boycott
i'll the negative, the boycott could not affect the
sale OF American goods to the Japanese.
Several days ago telegraphed complaints of Con-
suls of the United States and other countries ex-
planned that the decrease of business in Manchuria
and elsewhere was due, as The Call has explained,
to restrictive measures of the Japanese at Mukden
and Antung. Japan has been buying since the
Russia apan war less of our manufactured articles
but her purchase of raw material does not seem to
have decreased. apan has been active in forcing
business China and has been able to do this at
the expense OF other countries because of her ever
increasing knowledge of manufacturing. 1t is said
on good authority that American raw material is

csc merchants as American goods Farming inn

There is way of avoiding competition with
the Japanese in China and in Japan when they fol-

But just one more rescued line from Reedy; it

A MOVING CITY GOVERNMENT.

Official notice served upon the Board of Health
that il must vacate the Durant School by
July I again brings to the fore the fact that the
city government needs home. 1t is bad enough
10 have the departments scattered from end of
the unburned district to the other, housed in all
sorts and conditions OF buildings from a woman s
club a shack, without having the annoyance OF
uncertain tenancy added. 1t is generally recog-
nized that the buildings at present occupied are
entirely unsuted to the needs OF the departments.
In some instances they unsanitary. Crowded
into such quarters. the clerks cannot work to the
best advantage, and in the end more deputies must
be employed which means further expense to the
taxpayers. The present arrangement is not only
inadequate and inconvenient, but wasteful and ex-
pensive
Eventually quarters will have to be secured
where the several departments, if not estab-
lshed in one building, will at least be in the same
vicinity. The property should be leased for term
long enough TO prevent further evictions until the
new City Hall IS completed A scattered city gov
eminent has given trouble enough; moving city
government tries even San Francisco's patience.
There should be but more move of any of the
departments, and that into suitable quarters to be
occupied until the completion of the City Hall.

RESCUED FROM LITERARY DEBRIS.

Through the National Magazine the world is
introduced to the most brilliant American editor
in our day." Mr.. William Marion Reedy of St Louis
Mr.. Reedy has written an article entitled "San
Francisco Fallen" which for literary quivering and
evidence of mental vibration outwaves the worst
No. 9 earthquake that ever toppled chimney or
cracked holes in pavement.
Mr.. Reedy being the editor of the St Louis Mir
ror ought to be able to see himself as others see
him. but he evidently lost track of himself when
he wrote:
Shaken TO shards in the dawn, gulped in part
by mad sea, swept by flames. Ruin covering
agony, crowned by hundreds, thirst, fever, pest
Death over all. Then he paused for breath and
added Beautiful, soft Frisco, luscious as great
pear or a cluster of grapes City of romance,
splendor, strife where the strange odors of the
East come to sweeten the winds of the West.
Frisco sleely fair and like the Pacific as reacher-
Gus as fair.
The typewriter refuses to record further and the
mind ceases to stray the debris of the King s
English that follows. Besides, when the sea is
gulping up part of the landscape is dangerous to
waste time in trying to find out where Reedy be-
gan and Ebert Hubbard left off We have a
vague idea that the gentleman really was in San
Francisco and that he lost the thread of his mar
ratve just after having been shaken to shards in
the dawn Under such distressing circumstances
a writer could not be expected to come up to the
standard of Charles Warren Stoddard's enchanted

=. PEOPLE AND THINGS R7 LOUISE 7EHIER :

Because of the love of Harold Hutch
inson of Salida, Colo, for another
woman and her love for him. Mrs
Hutchinson shot down and killed in
cold blood the woman who had robbed
her of her husbands affection. Be
cause of the love of Charles pucette
love for him. Mrs. Ducette decided to
seek u divorce. 80 that her husband
might wed the woman who had robbed
her of his affection
Mrs. Hutchinson is in jail with the
ugly charge of murder against her
name. After she was arrested she did
not talk much. She said only that
she was glad the deed was done; that
it was not done rashly and not without
positive proof that her husband had
been lured from her side by the woman
she killed.
Mrs Ducette is at home, surrounded
by loving family and friends. When
her proceedings for divorce were heard
a letter written by the wife to her
rival was submitted and read in court.
1t said in part: He loves you. You
may have him. Think OF the years we
all may yet live and how awful 1t is

hope and pray God will direct me In
this matter and that / may not make a

Two women with exactly the same
grievance. Yet how differently they

Colorado woman, blind with an unrea-

that tries her may be. she will always

everything Is distorted and evil. Love
ennobles. jealousy debases. Love for
gets self Jealousy is all self How
can love and jealousy be kin? How
from so beautiful parent as love can
there spring such disfiguring passion
as jealousy? =.
II I were asked which OF the two
women-Mrs. Ducette of Seattle or
Mrs. Hutchinson of Colorado-best
loved her husband, l would not hesi-
tate moment to say Mrs Ducette
she has all the characteristics of true
love. She is noble, dignified and above
all respects herself A woman who
truly respects herself would not force
herself upon a man who would have
none of her. When the woman no
longer respects herself. how can she
expect the man to? To love a man
after he has ceased to love you is 70
be Without dignity To wish to con-
tinue as the wife of a man after he
has openly expressed his preference for
another, and thereby his own un-
worthiness, is TO proclaim ones own
unwprthiness. In love. as in every
game, every one has right to expect
the opposite to play fair. To cheat in
love, as in all games, is the most con-
temptible of crimes.
If Mr.. Ducette ever did love his wife
it won't be long. Il wager. before he
realizes what noble heart he has lost
That he will regret her and despise
himself. for his own unwortfiiness will
be the outcome of this sad domestic
AFFAIR. . As to Mr.. Hutchinson he is
proba bly, getting all that was coming
TO him in the shape of regret right

ory of his wife's terrible crime her

it, will almost be the excuse for his

band marrying the woman he pre-
ferred, but would give her back the
self-respect and dignity woman al
ways forfeits as the wife of an un-
worthy husband. The Colorado woman
was Jealous The Seattle woman was
not.
Many people will tell you that jeal-
ousy springs from love. That the man

man or woman who is not capable of

excuse for the sin.
Loves first aim and desire is as I
understand 1t, to make the loved ones
happy Jealousy has never existed
without causing dissensfon. Happiness
cannot exist without peace
Besides being a destroyer of peace
jealousy is also a thief 1t is always
striving to rob the unhappy object of
it's attention, of its liberty. its free

to think for itself nor act for itself.

Individual To forfeit, one of those
rights is to forfeit dignity and self-re-
spect. That is what jealousy would
have one do; yet every one knows that
without dignity and self-respect. love
in its highest and truest sense cannot
exist eys -
The surest sign of love is trust. The
loyed one can do no wrong. The ear
mark of jealousy is mistrust 1t is
always suspecting the loved" one to

love there is no evil. everything is

MANHOOD.

Our country has new need of men
today
Not such alone as bravely may
withstand
The shock of battle or with
strenuous hand
Open the paths of progress every
way.
We give too much to Drawn and
body; they
Are but the brute which evil may
command
No less than good, and so subvert
the land
They should support, the state in
ruins lay.
Not such alone, but men whose
souls are strong
To hate all evil and, whateer be-
tide,
To put all interest of self aside,
To shrink from public as from pri-
vate wrong,
From fortune reared on trickery
and lies.
Deenhing TOO dear the goods dis
honor buys.

the general conditions Of places where
horses are stabbed. there being no ques-
