A POLITICAL CHANGE.

We are Informed by reliable demo-
Gratis Of Valley township that Harry |.
Tilden, the socialist leader of Barber
county, voted in the democratic primary
held in that township. We are some
what surprised at this news. If Harry
had voted in republican primary we
would have not marveled. and the only
way his action is explained is that he
wanted to nominate weak candidates on
the democratic ticket to further the inter-
ests Of the republican party. Harry is a
queer one.

ed by acclamation. Sheriff Haun op-
posed the motion and offered to either
divide the delegation equally between
the two candidates for sheriff or vote by

OF. The motion to elect by acclamation
was earned by yeas and nays. DR..
Stout then submitted list Of delegates
and moved that they be elected. Sher-
if Haun moved to table Dr.. Stout's mo-
ton and produced piece Of paper on
which he said was list Of delegates thai
he desired to offer. The motion to ta-
bic was lost 81 to ! !, by a rising vote
/ The original motion was then put and
carried by some 80 against | l. A mo-
ton was then made to instruct for Nc
Cracker for sheriff and carried by practi-
caly the same figures. Several did no,
vote on either side. All the motion:

THE CHINATOWN PROBLEM
HARD ONE TO SOLVE

The Argonaut has this upon the
Chinese problem: The hysteric way
i'm which public opinion chops around
in times of great stress and strain is
shown very notably in the attitude of
San Francisco of late toward her local
problem, Chinatown. The Universal
remark after the fire was This means
the end of Chinatown And it seem
ed as if it were So For years the dis
trict known as Chinatown had been
an eyesore to San Francisco. 1t was
once one of the finest parts of San
Francisco, and many of the filthy
dwellings, occupied by the Chinese
We're in former times the dwellings of
the citys magnates. Rod by rod and
block by block, the yellow plague had
made its way, driving the whites be-
fore 1t. until Chinatown extended from
Sansome street on the east to Powell
street on the west, from Broadway on
the north to Bush street on the south.
Therefore it was that San Francisco
said that the fire was not an unmixed
evil. if it should drive out Chinatown.
The Chinese seemed to simplify the
problem by fleeing from the city in
great numbers. Together with the
Japanese they did not stand on the
order of their going, but fled in droves,
principally southwark. Only those
who were absolutely unable to leave
the city remained, and they were
placed in a detention camp in the
Fort Mason Military Reservation.
Their odoriferous neghborhood, how
ever, was so distasteful to the white
men and women in their neighborhood
that they We're twice removed by the
authorities. This gave rise to the COM
plants to Washington that they were
being maltreated.' AS n matter of
fact they were as Well fed and well
treated as the white refugees with the
single exception that they We're

BIG RAILROAD OFFICES
ALL IN SAN FRANCISCO.

Having been advised by the Southern
Pacific and Santa E'e roads that their
head offices have never been removed
from san Francisco even for an hour,
and realizing that this city is the only
place for their head Coast offices, the
presidents and chief traffic officials of
all the connecting lines of the Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe have telegraphed
from the East to their San Francisco
agents to move back to the city from
Oakland as soon as they can find ac-
commodatiops. Many of these agents
have already taken desk room in the
nave of the ferry building. In a few
weeks they plan to jointly occupy a
building to be called the Railroad Ar
cade.
The Harbor Commission people have
agreed TO allow this structure to be
bult on state property in front OF and
close to the Ferry depot building. As
planned, the building Is TO cost 5000
and the agents OF the twenty different
