may be issued be limited to specific
ends, and there will be no opposition
We are all of us anxious to aid San
Francisco. and if the proposed amend
ment is limited to its needs we will all
stand together"
Gavin McNab and Code Commissioner
John F. Davis then explained to the
committee the absolute necessity of the
measure. San Francisco needs wider
and better streets" said Judge Davis
If ii had not been for Dolores street
and Van Ness avenue there would be
none of San Francisco left. Wider
streets are needed all over the city to
prevent repetition of disaster that
has horrifed the whole world With
San Francisco divided into fire compart-
ments she will be safe for all time The
people have made up their minds to
have wider streets, but some means to
pay for the widening must be devised
The observation-disclosures bonding plan is
the best devised, and it must be au-
thorized."

THE AMERICAN SPIRIT OF UNREST.

The country needs men of thought
and men Of learning, and needs them
badly. The man who thinks may be
a greater patriot than the man who
does. 1t has been said that no amount
of means and light will avail unless
accompanied by action, which is the
same as saying that the brain would
be useless without the power Of ex-
preston. We have defined action as
the two prizes Of thought. The good
old motto. Act in haste; repent at
leisure" no longer stands at the top Of

The statement that the American
army is rotten" is the result of an ex-
IRENE prejudice and hostility angainst
an organization concerning which the
detractor has no knowledge. Our
army Is in an excellent state of eff

vice at the coast defenses and in that
respect must be increased somewhat
in the next two or three years. In all
respects, man for man, our army will
challenge comparison with any army
