Conforming to the Law.

Rev. Mr.. Parkhurst, of New York,
has been writing of the decay of posi-
tive authority, whereat the Chicago
Tribune says it is the other way about;
that with all allowance for the rules
that are broken the average man of
to-day obeys more positive injunctions
than his ancestors were compelled to
observe in the days of the heaviest
tyranny. 1t adds: "A man cannot
build house upon his own land with
out complying with the ordinances of
the city, and hardly without obeying
the dictation of number of trades
unions. He must adopt the sanitary
conveniences which seem best to the
city government. If the house is of
certain height he must provide it
with fire-escapes. Arrangements for
air and light must lie in accordance
with the rules. If he has child he
cannot decide for himself whether the
child shall be taught or not. He
must provide medical attendance for
the members of his family. He cannot
put his child to work under the age
,f IA. He cannot give his daughter in
marriage under the age of 16. He
tannot sell goods on the street with
,ut license, and there are many busi-
oesses in which he cannot engage with
put license. His carts must have
tires of certain width. His carriage,
II an automobile, must bear a number.
for which he is taxed. In a thou
sand petty ways his personal liberty
is restricted, in the name of the law.
The peril at the present day is not a
growing disregard for positive author
ity SO much as a belief in the efficacy
of legislation to cure all ills. Almost
every possible relation of man to man
has been made the subject of law.
but the flood still continues"

San Francisco.-What to do with
the immense amount of money that has
been contributed to the relief of San
Francisco's homeless was the question
that received earnest consideration by
all those now engaged in this all-im-
portant work. So many inquiries had
come to the heads of the various de-
partments, civil and military, all ask
ing how and by whom the money SO
generously contributed would be ex-
pended, that the Associated Press was
asked to communicate to the country
at large the plan for disbursing those
funds, and the assurance that every
dollar would be put to the use for
which it was intended.
All expenditures will be authorized
by the finance committee of the citi-
zens and Red Cross funds. The men,
bers of this committee are representa-
tive bankers, business men and jurists
of San Francisco, and DR.. Devine of the
National Red Cross Society. This
committee will audit all accounts and
make detailed report to the War De-
partment, where final audit and state
ment will be made.
At noon Thursday the distribution of
food to the city of San Francisco was
formally turned over to the United
system already described. Under this

by the various local and outside relief
organizations, each of which has acted
independently of all others, will be dis
continued and the direction of all the
stations will be centralized in the de
pot of the quartermaster of the army
at this post under Major Duval.
The reports from the leading hos
pitfalls at the Presidio and at Colder
Gate park to-day showed that the
number of patients is less than yester
day. At the general hospital in the
Presidio there were $50 patients Thurs
day, which is 200 less than the day be.

to the fact that the privi-
lege of free transportation ovei
