4Where Ignorance is
Bliss, = Said the Poet

its folly to be wise which.
isn't 50 if a mans ! wearing mer-
cerized cotton clothes in bliss
full ignorance of the fact that
they're not all-wool.
Wisdom always pays, even
at the cost of ignorant bliss;
but in clothes it pays better to
be wise beforehand than after
ward.
If you buy mercerized cotton
clothes you'll get wise sooner
or later; they're never as good
as they look, nor as good as
they cost; they don't wear like
all-wool, and they'll prove it 10
you themselves.
If you buy Hart. Schaffner
& Marx clothes, you're wise
beforehand; they are all-wool,
and you know it: you get what
you pay for; and its worth all
you pay for it.
We sell Hart, Schaffner &
Marx clothes because it pays
you to buy them as much as it
pays us to sell them.

True Now as Then.

The San Francisco call OF Sunday,
April Is. has reached New York. One
week ago this morning the Gail was dis
cussing the future Of San Francisco. IT
was then saying:
"our destiny is upon US. We cannot escape It,
San Francisco has an impetus that nothing can
check. Cosmopolitan. utterng moro languages
than made the confusion OF Babel. combining the
energies and the arts of many peoples, the meeting
place of the occident and the Orient with the pic'
turesoue features OF both. this city Is emerging into
literature and rising to her inheritance and oppor'
%tunity."
We reproduce this passage in order
to express our profound conviction that
every word Of it holds good after the
disaster that befell San Francisco on the
following Wednesday.
1t is all true now for exactly the same
reasons that made it true when first writ
ten. San Francisco's destiny is hers,
she has an impetus that nothing can
check, and she will arise to her inheri-
lance and opportunity.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-04-22

No question is too big for a laxative
Magistrate to answer, no problem o
abstruse for him to dispose of while the
oath is being administered. They can
not be funny. Therefore they are SOL
emn, wise, full of great thoughts. They
deliver stump speeches against the rich,
against corporations, against this, that
and the other, while the business OF the
court waits their pleasure. When such
a Magistrate reaches the felicity OF pub
lication under big headlines in q yellow
newspaper he has won the prize for
which he struggles.
How do laxative Magistrates manage
to be 30 dull and unoriginal? Never by
any chance do they say a clever thing or
a new. Their jokes are laughed at by
the prisoner, the court clerks, the at
tendants. Each of these has his own
reason for laughing. Once in a while
a newspaper lets the public sec a sample
of what passes for wit on the bench. 1t is
always a sad and dreary joke, frequently
in the form Of a punning sentence In
which the peouliarities Of a prisoners
name are made sport Of. Footsore jests,
tiresome diatribes on subjects Of passing
interest, foolish outgivings on matters
that have no place in the police court
this is the sum Of the chattering Mag
istrate's conversational output.
1t seems impossible to avoid ono or
two chumps in each board OF Magis-
trates. Most of the minor criminal
judges are intelligent, keen, straight
thinking men, who do their business
expeditiously, quietly and with dignity
Useful public servants are these, but In
what category shall the others be placed'
Besides being tiresome they frequently
stir half witted persons to Objectionable
manifestations, thus creating disturb
ances annoying to large numbers OF
men and women. Something should be
done to restrain the tongues that was
increasingly in the police courts. Per
haps in time an official mueller for gabby
Magistrates may be appointed. Such
an officer is sorely needed.
