SUNDAY IN
BURNED CITY

a San Francisco Sunday has always
been picturesque, with a foreign ele-
ment in it. Every one went some
where-to the park, to the ocean, and
aristocratic san Francisco went to the
French restaurants and hotels for din
ner. Throngs crossed the bay to the
nearby towns Today the people we
met were grave, silent-all of them bad
ly dressed, most of them very poorly
clothed. The largest crowds we saw
were on Market Street, many of them
from nearby towns. On a large sign
we read: For Gods sake, don't
come over here to kodak us! Bring us
food for ourselves and our children
Al along Van Ness Avenue the peo-
pie are cooking out of doors on i'm
provised stoves. Sometimes it is the
Japanese servant who has remained
who is the cook, but most often 1t is
some member of the household. over
on Telegraph Hill they are cooking in
tomato cans. Here they seem to have
saucepans, which is about the only
difference. Suddenly we came upon an
old friend i'm whose hospitabe home
we had often been royalty entertained.
The home was a wreck. Every pane
of glass was smashed and the struc-
ture was shaken from the foundation
by the earthquake.
81 won't ask you to stay for dinner"
the friend said brightly, and she point
ed to the wreck back of her, which still
meant home to her. "All / have to
offer are sandwiches and some canned
things hope l may never see another
sandwich as long as / live. but we
&<&<t<&<&<t<t<t<t<t<t<k<t<
whereupon the counsel said MAY 1t
please the court, l said, l thought
was talking to a gentleman, l think
so still your honors."
The bench should not be made a
school for unframed lawyers to gain
experience nor a shelf for played-out
politicians. The bar owes this to it
self and to the people to recommend
men of experience and ability for judi
cial positions, men who will seek for
the Right" in a case and decide it ac-
cordingly. I should advise all members
of the bar never to ask a judge how
his health is for / once asked the ques-
ton of a justice whose residence is not
far away and he flew into passion in
stantly and told me it was none of my
--- business and / narrowly escaped
being assaulted in the bargain. I think
they are disciples of Methuselah.
Even to those who never reach the
bench the profession of the law and
the duties 1t imposes are of the high
est. 1t has a fascination that keeps
a man stirring and struggling all the
years of his life and while we can
scarcely hope to begin a career OF
anxious prosperity till after thirty
surely all of us who have attained that
age after a youth of robust study and
manly pleasure with firm friends and
a good character have no right to com
plain of the world and let US all unite
in being loyal to the bench, and say
palsed be the hand or tongue that will
do or say aught to disturb the friendly
relations that should always exist be-
tween strong bench and bar.
