UNKNOWN FACTOR IN POLITICS.

Organized labor has determined to become a
factor in national politics. Commencing at Wash.
ington where Samuel Gompers leads the move4
ment and extending to San Francisco where the
State Building Trades Council has just determined
to participate an organization in municipal,
State and national elections, labor proposes to en-
the political arena and fight its battles at the
polls.
This determination has taken the politicians and
slate-makers somewhat off their feet The pura-
ties of past years will no longer furnish basis for
future calculations With a third power to be
reckoned those representatives who have been
singled out for defeat by labor find themselves
wondering and speculatng just how great vot-
ing power they have raised against themselves
Gompers outlined the intentions of the American
Federation of Labor when he discussed Els fight
against Congressman Little6eld of Maine. Cor
ganized labor in Maine cannot conscientiously vote
Tor the present representatives in Congress- said
the president OF organization of 1000 900, most
OF whom are voters. Il shall speak in every city,
town, village and hamlet in the Second Congress
sonal District to defeat Littleheld and elect his
opponent. | shall also attempt to defeat other
machine made candidates. Organized labor has
enough votes to control any election All that is
needed is to vote together. You will hear from me
again
Congressman Little6eld is intrenched behind a
majority that has always been considered impreg-
nabe, but all Washington is discussing Gompers'
plan OF attack upon him. and opinion upon the
result OF the approaching election is far from unan-
nous even among Littleheld's friends Littleield
led the fight in the House against all legislation in
which organized labor was Interested It was on
this account that he has been singled out for
slaughter.
In California the three successes of the labor
party in San Francisco, backed by the decision Of
the American Federation of Labor has led the
State Building Trades Council to enter the larger
field of State politics. Each delegate to the recent
convention was instructed to report upon political
conditions in the district whence he comes and a
political organization be built from these foun-
dations.
Politicians from the Atlantic to the Pacific will
watch the elections this fall with unusual interest,
feeling that a new and untried power will make its
influence felt for the first time in national politics.

PEOPLE AND THINGS.
By Louise WELLER.

same reason, because he likes comfort
and despises sham, man wants a bed
He don't want to sleep in a mantel-
shelf let down or on a mock desk
No one will dispute that a man has
very tender regard for his stomach.
To say "delicateSsen" to him or gas
stove" is like waving a red nag before
an infuriated bull Woman may en-
thuse over the home cooking bought
at the delicatessen counter; she may
even go further and actually eat it,
But not so with the man. There is
nothing he despises more than a man
who eats "delicatessen," unless il is
the poor male that sells it.
Again, is there any one who has ever
met man who likes strangers always
hanging round; who is always going
about speaking in whispers; in short
who knows a man who likes living in
a hotel?
This dislike of the apartment house
is one of the few times when women
is bound to confess he is right. 1t IS
the instinct of all that is big and good
and noble in man asserting itself. 1t
is the innate love OF home No one can
accuse woman of being destitute Of
that love. If she is. il is a destitution
that has been bred by the most shame
full of all shameful vices-indolence
w OnldH lONcS ease anu comfort ana the
good things of the table, and privacy
and home, as well as man does. When
she willingly gives them all up and
persuades her husband too-no small
job. for the only reason she can offer
is that it is easier-things have-come
to a pretty pass.
When woman goes back on the home
men are not going to have any more
homes. And without home the whole
social fabric is bound to fall. Home
life means a thousandfold more TO
woman than all the gold in promises
the most rabid suffragist can hold out
to her. Home life once destroyed and
woman has lost her all.
No woman has the moral right to idly
sit around in tiny rooms crowded with
make-b believe luxurieS. To be a mans
wife means more than wearing his
name and allowing him to foot the
bills. 1t means being his helpmate 1t
means being his companion. the sharer
of his joys and his sorrows. 1t means
being the prop of his home.
No woman can be all this in an
apartment house, and certainly no true
woman wants to be one thing less. Let
her cry be, Back to the home"

at the time of the test there not sufficient de-
rrand for the material to, promote development
California ought to be able to furnish San Fran
cisco large part of the needed material for build
ing purposes and thus the State can be benefited
by the building up OF new industry that ought to
be profitable one for many years.
Cement beds not strata in which cement is
found in condition for Immediate use. Cement is
composed of certain kinds of chalk and mixture
of soil from river beds alluval clay. The So
called beds merely sections of land where all Of
the necessary ingredients for making cement are
part OF the soil and handy and inexpensive to
bake. In certain parts of San Joaquin County it is
said that large quantities of cement chalk and clay
found in alternating ridges of rock. The same
conditions may prevail in Napa and elsewhere.
1t would be good idea for the University of
California to take up the study of our cement de
posts and pass judgment as to their value for
building purposes

Oh, the pity of it, Berkeley is to
have another apartment house That
reads rather ambiguously. for l do not
mean that it is pity Berkeley is to
have another apartment house, but that
it is a pity that Berkeley needs another
apartment house l take it for granted
that it is with apartment houses like
with everything else-the demand reg
ulates the supply. Therefore again
say, oh. the pity of itr'
An apartment house in a suburban
town where land is comparatively
cheap and rents within the reach of
even the smallest income is black
mark against the women Such a
sweeping assertion demands an ex-
planation. | am ready with it. No
man of his own free will ever went
to live in an apartment Circumstances
over which he had no control drove
him to it. These circumstances are
one of two things-his income or his
wife.
Living in an apartment for the most
part means living in tiny rooms, de-
void of comfort. 1t means sleeping in
unhealthy folding beds, which when
not in use are either showed back into
the wall, where they pretend they are
mantels, or else are boxed into a make
believe Sideboard or writing desk
Living in apartments mostly means
buying your meals at the delicateSSen
counter or else eating things that can
be cooked on little gas stoves 1t
means that you have but little privacy,
that you are constantly bumping 2
against strangers in the halls 1t
means that you must talk in whispers
unless you want your next-door neigh
Dor to hear you. In short, it means
all the artificiality. all the pretense, all
the inconvenience of the hotel or
boarding-house. Does any one know a
man who would voluntarily accept all
that?

like plenty of room to move about in

REMOVE UNUSED STREET KITCHENS.

Appeal has been made to the Board of Public
Works by citizens of the Western Addition that
street kitchens be removed by persons who have
ceased/to use them. The board has taken action
toward forcing the removal of debris from the side
walks and streets in the burned district and could
make another good move by compelling residents
to assist in preserving the cleanliness and health
OF the city by pulling down and carting away the
dlrt-gathering, abandoned kitchens
On some OF the streets west of Franklin the
abandoned street kitchen has become a nuisance
Within some OF the little temporary shacks' there
has accumulated filth of all kinds old paper. de-
cayed vegetable matter, greasy rags fine dust and
sand. They act as breaks for the dirt that is
swept about by the brisk westerly winds and stop
up the cutters. There is no excuse for anv one
with ten or fifteen minutes leisure time during the
day allowing one of these breeding places for dis
ease to remain in front of his premises.
Kansas farmers have a system of sending base
ball bulletins to the farmhands in the wheat fields
to keep them from deserting their work to witness
the games. Perhaps it would be well for Kansas
to make wheat fields of the baseball grounds
The National Juvenile Society of Denver will
refuse to accept Rockefeers tainted gold. 1t is

enough cement in sight to meet the demands of the
builders.
