Strongest Argument.

This is the argument that is being
most effectively used by the advocates
of the proposal to help San Francisco.
John Sharp Williams. the Democratic
leader, has proposal which he has
said he viii offer. to suspend the duty on
steel for building purposes, not only in
San Francisco but other cities. for a
year or two. In behalf OF this 1t is
pointed out that to admit free steel for
San Francisco alone would be utterly
impracticable.
II would require months OF time TO
have 1t manufactured in England, Bel
gium, and Germany, and then shipped
around the Horn: and TO send il across
the continent by raj would be altogether
too expensive

structural steel to CG.Ie in free for a

PULSE OF The PRESS


There are few of the republican
newspapers in the state who are us
ing every endeavor to make the peo-
pie believe there is growing dis
satisfaction with our present govern
ment. These are headed by but one
paper of any repute, and its tactics
are fast loosing ground for it as
representative of the people or its
reliability for news. The others are
of class by themse!ves-echoes> of
the great CD leader of the insur-
gents. AS a matter of fact, and it
has not been denied by any of the
leaders, they were we'll satisfied with
the present leadership of the party
just SO long as they were kept in
office-fattening at the public trough:
when they were turned down they
became very rabid at the leaders who
Immediately became "grafters." AS
a proof of this assertion, although no
proof is needed, look at the frantic
efforts of the insurgents in trying to
produce discord where none exists, by
the misrepresentation and distortion
of facts. No honorable man will
countenance their foolish and COM
promising methods.-Walhalla Noun

the policing of the city by the regular
troops. The courage of the people.
remarkable in itself, was undoubtedly
kept up by the perfect security es-
,tabliShed by General Funston. -
california was never more PROS
porous than this year. The crop out
look is better than for many seasons
past and all business interests are on
Il sound basis with banks strong in
resources. Probably, for this reason,
San Francisco is better able to stand
such a catastrophe than any other city
in the country.
The officers OF the quartermaster'S
department of the United States army,
of whom Major Devol is chief, and OF
the commissary department and, es-
pecially the surgeons of the army,
have labored unremittingly and effec-
lively in caring for and distributing
supplies and organizing camps and
hospitals. The debt of San Francisco
to the United States army will never
be discharged. I think that is the
sentiment of every citizen. The state
militia of California has, in some cases.
been criticized, but to my mind it's
officers and men are entitled to and
will receive, a full share of the graft
tude an drespect of the citizens of San
Francisco, and of the state. These men
have few opportunities for active SER
vice and are, therefore, mainly untried,
and it would be unusual were there
not among them very few who might
commit some act of indiscretion, lat
such should not call for the criticism
of the whole body.
The saving of the water of the
water front and docks enabled the
work OF rescue and relief to be con-
Quoted much more effectively than
would have otherwise been possible
1t is hard to imagine what might have
happened had means of communica-
ton been restricted to the narrow
neck of land south of San Francisco
The saving of this part of the city
was mainly due to the cooperation Of
the naval department, under Admiral
Goodrich. with the civil and other
forces.
ITO speak worthy word of Mayor
Schmitz and his administration of. The
city's affairs during time which
would try the souls of the bravest and
strongest men, would sound like
fattery, SO fully and effectively has he
risen to the occasion, SO calmly and
unselfishly has he labored with citi-
zens of every grade, and political
faith, to make all the salvage possible
out of the wreck and to organize

But nothing could better accomplish
the purpose desired by the democratic
leaders. That party is one Of legisla-
tive obstruction and not construction.
legislation proposed by the republican
party, and when placed in power has
proven its inability to construct even
political statute from it's platform.
Now, if it could secure control of
the lower house, the republican party
and the nation itself would be tied for
two years at least. Not a law could be
placed upon the statute book, which
came from the upper branch of the
national legislation.
The hands Of President Roosevelt,
the greatest man of the age, the fear
less. manly and intrepid leader whose
strong arm is ever ready to do battle,
and whose desires the party has been
ever willing to legislate into law
would be tied
Could he accomplish his aims
through the democratic party? When
that party attempted to take to them
selves the credit for railroad rate
regulation and claimed that the presid-
ent had appropriated their own
doctrines, he did not call them in con-
sultation as to the enactment of the
law. This is proven by the complaints
made against him on the floor of con-
gress. The president does not trust
them any more than does the people
Yet by the carrying out of the polit-
ical scheme of creating discomfort
among republicans now being agrees
sively pushed, the democrats hope to
elect a majority SO that they may tie
his hands and again stop the machin-
cry of progress, and if possible, fill tho
land with soup houses and Coxey's
armies.

slightly exceeding the conventional

to the baby, while Guy Bates Post,
Ben Higgins and Ernest Lamson have,
carrying out the sentiment of MI. Arm

themselves. a committee for providing
the infant with suitable birth gift.

from the effects of these influenies.
They stand fair amount of usage
and with proper foundation would
stand much more than they have in
this city.
If they were decided upon as the
future paving there would be much of
that now in use which would be avail
able in the work of rebuilding, so that
the saving in the cost of material
would be quite an important item.
The trouble with many of the paw
ing materials in this climate is the
cost of the foundation and it's inability
to withstand the severe weather con-
ditions. That is the trouble to a large
extent with the use of the solid mater
ials. But in the event of damage to
the base in almost any of the others
the cost of repairs is much greater
and the injury to the street far more.
Some of the cities of the east which
have used brick for paving purposes
have placed them upon a base of or
binary sand and have had but little
trouble from this cause. The freezing
and thawing having no permanent
effect as the bricks were each indie
pendent of the other and as soon as
normal conditions returned to the base
the bricks settled to their accustomed
places. This was true, however, where
the bed of the street proper was firm
clay and where the sand upon which
the bricks rested was merely a cushion
between the two.
The character of the street bed in
this city would be an important matter
to consider for the bed upon which the
pavement rests can not be made per-
manent unless this subfoundation is
also firm.
This obstacle is largely overcome by
the use OF lumber in building the block
pavement and is one strong argument
in favor of the system.
