| Six feet of earth make all men
equal.-Ex.
Yes, out not until they are put
IN it.
The hearts action of one good
man in a community is worth
more than dozen committees
with fifteen in each,
We have no more use for man
that wont do right. live right, and
is not honor bright, than eternity
has for and alarm clock Or
dinner bell.
Some men hog, gouge and gore
everybody to accumulate money
and have the impudence to say
that the Lord gave it "been good
to me-"
Don't cherish hatred in your
heart toward anyone for har-
boring anger and hatred in your
heart is like entertaining a thief
or burgler in your home.
Over one half of the people in
the world are losing their Souls
through greed and averice, and
the other half are losing theirs
through envy and jealousy in
seeing what others have.

1t is the concensus of opinion
that five of the six candidates for
IGubernatorial honors will be
furnished with a free pass over
the roads to the head waters of
Salt River next year. Truly it

not likely to be Sisson.

him that another boy was kiss

The idea was prevalent with
Vosges patients that children
born on the first quarter Of the
moon had sharper tongues than
those born on the last quarter.
Well there are some people that
are nothing but tongue and what
aint tongue aiut nothing. They
must have come in on the full.
Six feet of earth make all men

Yes, but not till then. There
is very little consolation in the
idea that in crossing the dust
line you shall be the equal of all
mankind who have endeavored
to be something. This is social
ism in a nut shell.

A Most Successful Opening
of the A. 6 M. College.

AL IuluSS udNc COHSplIcu loi
the most auspicious beginning of
the present session of the A. q
College last "Wednesday morning.
1t was our privilege and un-
speakable pleasure to listen to
the addresses Of three Of the
States most distinguished cltl-
zens. The wholesome and elo
quent address made by Governor
Vardaman was the best that we
ever heard from him and for the
first time we admitted mentally
that he is the real orator that he
is. His sincerity is the fOunda-
ton stone upon which his pro-
fundity of thought and eloquence
rest. He is a profound thinker
and his words are as fluent,
bright and sparkling as waters
leaping down the mountain sides
most refreshing and health
giving to the weak and faint.
The next speaker in order was
Hon. A. H. Whitfield, chief JUS
tice of our supreme court.
This gentleman is recognized
orator and sustained his reputa-
ton in that particular and good
and safe counsellor to the yopng
men on this as on all occasions,
Hon. E, n. Thomas was next,
now the speaker of the lower
house of our State Legislature.
He does not make any preten
tions to oratory, but we know of
no gentleman who has come in
contact with more orators within
the last three or more years than
he. We regard him as a most
pleasant and forceful speaker
and orator as eloquently as some
who are pronounced orators.
But it was not a time or occasion
for efforts at oratory, but the
good. sound and true advice that
was so inspiring and we feel that
it was most fortuitous that these
distinguished men Of experience,
knowledge and wisdom were
present and participated in the
exercises on this memorable
occasion in the history of this
great institution and period Of
the present student body Some
how we feel that each Of these
gentlemen made impressions
most favorable and lasting and
will exist when they have passed
from the stage Of action. One
thing we do know that if the
young men will be governed and
controlled bvthe words and admo-
nitions of the speakers that our
State and country will be the
better off for their having exist
ed.
At this juncture We were com
PEELED to leave and return to
town and regret exceedingly that
we were denied the privilege of
hearing Col. Simon Fried and
Hons. J. G. George, A. S. Me-
harg aud j. W. Norment trustees
of the Institution. We are sure
that they did honor to themselves
and contributed much along the
same lines as their predecessors.
Great is this institution and it is
the duty Of every good citizen to
hold up and maintain every
motion and effort for advancing
it's educational interest. The
trustees, the president and facul-
ty, the legislature and citizens
have their respective duties to
perform and let it be done ear
nestly and Loyalty.

and the audience has grown tired
of the music. When they see
greed running the price of food
and raiment up and declaring
enormous dividends at the peo-
ple's expense and infant indus
tries which have grown to gi.
gantic proportions are still suck
ing the pap from the breast of
the nation.
Russia has got her revolution
on straight at last. The Peas
ants and Jews no longer feel that
they belong to some renegade

and tlnsel crown on his brain
less head. Autocracy dies hard
but die it must. The hand
writing of fate is written on the
wall, plain to all but the weak
and vacillating Gar and the
nobility. One by one the nations
of the old world are lighting their
torch from the flame of American
liberty.
A lady last week in one of the
northern states beat a tramp

that she made the mistake for

tramp got. Many a husband
down south ought to be frailed
out at night through mistake by
their wives when they come
home late at night. We've seen
husbands that deserve such
treatment and if she can't con
quor him any other way she
ought to pour lead in his ear
while asleep.
Money is a power but a power
of well defined and narrow limits.
1t will produce plenty, but not
peace, it will fill your table with
luxuries, but it will not give you
an opportunity to enjoy them, it
will crowd your bedside with
physicians but it will not bring
health to your sickly frame. 1t
will encompass you with a
cloud of fatterers but it will
meyer produce for you one true
friend. 1t will relieve many
fears, but not those of guilt, the
terror that crowns the brow Of
death for he stands as grim by
the dying bed of wealth as by
the pallet of the poorest beggar
whom pitiless riches has driven
from her door.

whether or not Japanese Consul
Uyeno has been guilty of breach of
international eoursesy and given
ground for negotiations between WASH
fnEton and Toxic that may result In
his recall fs n question raised by re-
ports submitted TO Secretary Victor III.
MetcaIf and the san Francisco Board
of Education by Mrs. c. C. NewhaII,
principal of the Oriental public school
at Clay and Powell streets.
Uyeno's eagerness to see that the
United States would not be over
polite to Russia during the recent war
with Japan led him into a clash with
Collector Of the Port Frederick STRAIT
ton over the cruiser Lena that was
subsequently, carried TO Washington
and made the subject of diplomatic cor
respondence between the State Depart
ment and the Japanese Minister of For
eign Affairs. The incident was adjust
ed at a time when il was overshadowed
by events Of the war and the public
forgot all about it.
According TO the reports made by
Mrs. Newhan to Secretary Metcalf and
the Board of Education, however,
Uyeno has now drawn attention TO him
self again by playing the part Of a
ooycotter in san Francisco.
The boycott he instituted was direct
ed against the Oriental public school,
and it took place. according to Mrs.
Nswhal, Immediately after the Board
Of Education adopted the resolutions
providing for the segregation of Jap
anese.
TALKS TO THE PUPILS
That Uyeno, as the accredited diplo-
matte agent Of his Government in San
Francisco. has every right 10 interest
himself in behalf of the subjects Of
Japan is not disputed by the Board Of
Education. but that he has a right TO
enter a school building owned by the
municipality and start an agitation
among pupils attending classes there is
not conceded The Board of Education.
in brief, takes the stand that Uyeno
has been guilty of grave discourtesy
against both the United States and the
city Of Francisco, if the charges made
against him by Mrs. Newhall are sup
portable.
Mrs Newhall. in reporting the al
legged boycott instituted against the
Oriental school by Uyeno, declared that
she was quite satisfied OF the correct
oess OF the facts in the case.
It was a few days after the Board
Of Education adopted the resolutions
providing for the segregation of Jap
anesc pupils. she says, when Consul
rJveno appeared at the Oriental school
There were about twenty Chinese and
two Japanese pupils attending classes
at the time
Uyeno. she says. told her he would
like 70 make a formal inspection of the
school and see how the Japanese were
getting along. She invited him through
sil the classes and Uyeno appeared to
be much interested in what he saw.
Finally he called the two japanese
apart and began TO talk earnestly TO
them. Mrs. Newhall says that she soon
could see. despite her unfamiliarity
with the Japanese language, that the
Consul was trying to persuade the two
pupils 10 do something that they were
not inclined to- He kept haranguing

Amazed by the knowledge that spe-

TINT there is treachery within their

precautions to combat 1t.
At the weekly session they held last
night at Hamilton Hall, Geary and

Steiner streets, the guard who usually
sits within the passageway leading to
their meeting room was stationed out
side the door. He held up every one
who approached the meeting room and
acted as though he was disturbed by
the significance attached to the change
in his own position.
IT don't know who's inside" he said.
The meetings are not being held the
way they used to. I'm here only q
short time.''
He conveyed the impression that a
dinorent guard had preceded him at
the door Of the passageway. but would
give no definite information on the
subject.
The Supervisors were in session until
after IL o'clock They left the hall In
pairs, and an air of depression was
noticeable among them.
Who the informers are is a matter
that is now concerning the Supervisors
more than any other phase of the
trouble confronting them. They are
confident that there is a leak. and
while they are looking for it. they are
conscious that they are becoming more
and more disorganized. Every mem
Der of the circle suspects his neighbor
and until the real "squealers" are
caught there will be no peace OF mind
among the board as whole.

DISAPPEARANCE MAY

Anxious Father Has Two
Search Parties Out, but
Girl Escaped to This City

VALLEJO, Dec. s.-Elizabeth Kieth
Pond. daughter of Commodore Pond of
the Mare Island navy yard. has again
disappeared This time 1t is believed
that the young woman has made her
way to San Francisco, where she is
now in hiding. The last seen of Miss
Pond was yesterday, when she went
aboard the steamer for the bay city A
representative of The Call obtained
this information today. Two search
parties of fifty men each hunted all
over Vallejo for the girl, but failed
of their purpose of obtaining anything
regarding her whereabouts
LEAVES THE ISLAND
Miss Pond disappeared from the navy
yard in the afternoon, when she an
nounced that she was going over to
Vallejo to attend to some business at
the express office. She did not show
up at Wells-Fargo Company's ware
rooms. Then 1t was that an enlisted
man of the navy said that he had seen
her going on board the steamer for
San Francisco.
Last evening search for the missing
girl was commenced and it continued
during the night. Captain Pond main
tafns tat his daughter must have had
another fainting spell and is lying un
conscious in some unfrequented spot
His friends do not agree with him in
this theory.
Dr. Francis Shook, to whom Miss
Pond has been engaged, spent several
hours today in Vallejo in vain effort
to obtain a clew to the whereabouts oi
HIS sweethcart. but is completely at
sea. The fact that Miss Pond left
without telling him gives strong color
to the rumors a1oat that the wedding
of the young people will never take
place.
So desperate did Captain Pond be-
come last evening that he procured a
small rowboat and rowed across the
channel that separates Vallejo from
Mare Island. He clambered aboard the
ferry-boat Vallejo. found the watch
man and searched the island ferry from
cabin to engine-room.

That there have been many dissen-
sions in the Pond family since the
daughter of the household became en-
gagged is common knowledge Previ-
Gus to her disappearance yesterday the
unfriendly feeling between the daugh-
ter and other members of the family
had been daily growing stronger.
Those who know the missing girl in
timately are of the opinion that. she
has left home while suffering mental
anguish and that she has determined
to get as far away from her people as
possible. The girl has friends in Berke-
ley whom she may have sought.
