Perhaps the most wFetched volume that
could be written Of the social annals of
America would be that containing a record
OF American girls who have married titled
Europeans solely for their titles. those
Europeans accepting them solely for their
wealth. Dotting the CHASTITY history at
long intervals are romantic statements that
this or that match was really a love match:

THE SAN FRANCISCO SoAyp.1.

Inn NAN HhA0bAoNO HOAAD1 L.
The interpositiOn of the national
government in the San Francisco graft
scandal is the most hopeful develop
ment or the whole wretched situation.
The municipal government itself has
been shown to be so permeated with
corruption and the banded free boot
ers are so powerful and intrenched in
positions Of advantage, as we'll as sup
ported by local sentiment, that prose-
eution by local authorities, If that
were all, would likely result in failure
of justice. While the national govern
ment can, of course, have no turisdic-
ton in the vast area of fraud and cor
ruption known to exist in the munic-
ipal administration, the criminals
overreached themselves when they
laid hands on the funds contributed
BY q generous people TO relieve the
sufferers from FIRE and earthquake,
violating the postal and interstate
commerce laws.
II implies an almost inconceivable
turpttude that the charity and SYM
patty of a nation should be perverted
into opportunity for loot, and that an
aggregate of 31,OOO,OOO could have
been stolen from the funds contributed
to save San Francisco ia the hour Of
its dire distress. Ordinary thieves
would have scorned the meanness of
the deed. but no ordinary situation
exists there.
The investigation OF the federal au-
thorities has fortunately gone far
enough TO demonstrate that elaborate
criminality in competition with the re-
lief funds involves grave violations OF
the national laws, so that the mis-
ereants will soon feel on their threats
the grip of a power with which they
cannot tamper and trife as they have
been doing with police courts and To-
cal administration, And as In part at
least the same sang is involved both

The recurrent move to abolish the
State Labor bureau is meeting with
opposition this time from a new
source, namely, the advocates of more

friends of the Juvenile court. The

TO be the agency through whom much
Of this legislation is to be made effec-

Charles z. Hughes was the man walk
ing in the wilderness; the misapprehended.
the unknown and the indispensable.
Theodore RooseveIt's unfailing genius
forced Hughes on the Saratoga convention,
snatched the republican party from the
grave and saved the state and, for all
we can tell, saved the nation.
What has the republican party done for
Hughes? Nothing. It advanced the use
of its name and a reluctant nomination.
But he has been elected governor of the
state Of New York Yes. he has been
elected governor OF the state of New
York in spite Of the republican party.
Even the stupidity and futility OF Wood
run and his incompetent. apathetic gang
have not availed TO defeat Hughes. The
party is reeking with leaders whenever
there is graft in the air, but what has
a leader done for the lonely figure that
has beaten the state into decency and
common sense? Not a thing Not one
OF them has raised a finger in his behalf
1t looks as II only their lack of courage
kept them from openly joining the party
of Murphy, Hearst and the devil!
No, the republican party had little TO
do with the election. except as Theodore
Roosevelt may be taken to embody and
personify its ancient spirit and actual
existence. Mr.. Hughes was elected by
the people, by good republicans, by honest
democrats, and by good citizens guiltless
OF tags of any kind. The benefit that the
republican party gets It gets by the in
dividual dispensatlon of both Theodore
Roosevelt and Charles r. Hughes

United States in 1904 at S1O6,SS1,-
A15,OO9, reduces to defniteness the
impression Of stupendous industrial
development since the last census year
which the salient specific facts in
every field Of activity have created.
The sheer total expressed in these fig

that Of any other country on the

comparison with the figures for each
decade since 1850. when the national
government began to ascertain the

property, the totals being as follows.
