But San Francisco for thirty years
past has beaten all four OF these sub
sidiary literary centers in the fresh

1t has had an ocean of its own to
stimulate its imagination, a new coun-
try behind and about it and an adj
venturous and virile population that
has liked to live its own life in its
own way and dream and live it's own
romances.
1t has had money, too. 1t has sent
out its ENJOYS to view the world (and
a good many Of them have stayed
away, and because 1t has been one
of the worlds great starting places

President Reviews Greatest AsssmblaGs
OF Warships Ever Congregated
In American Waters.

1 f
Oyster Bay, N. X, Sept. 4.--Monday.
Labor day, the greatest assemblage OF
war vessels In the history Of the west
ern hemisphere was reviewed by
President Roosevelt in the waters Of
Long Island sound, off Oyster Bay.
In the fleet, commanded by Rear
Admiral Evans, was the newest and
best Of the vessels of the American
navy, including all that is most eff
cient in the various classes OF battle
ships, cruisers, torpedo boats and tor
pedo boat destroyers and submarines.
There were $4,000 men to cheer Pres
ident Roosevelt as the Mayhower
steamed through the lines Of warships.
In making the review the Mayfower,
with President Roosevelt on board,
steamed to the head of the center
column, then along Its south side and
between 1t and the torpedo craft form
ing the first column, which lies near
est the shore. In going down the
line, the president passed and re-
ceived the salutes of IL battleships,
eight cruisers and four monitors. The
Mayfower then turned the colum, cir
cled the entire fleet and took up
position 600 yards to the east Of Ad-
miral Evans flagship Maine, thus
heading the whole fleet. The presi-
dent entertained the commanders and
his guests on the Mayflower at lun.
cheon.
A salute In unison from the entire
fleet was fired when the president
came within signaling distance, and as
the Mayhower cleared the stern of
each ship, another salute Of 81 guns
was fired by the ship reviewed.
At the close Of the review there was
a reception on the Mayfower, al
which the president greeted the CON-
manders of the ships.

North Dakota Solves the AduIteratlon
Problem.

North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make 1t impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz: pure
white lead and llnseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the.
inferior pigments, or mixtures Of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
Let the label tell" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, II any one wishes
to buy mixture of rock-dust ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
sccalled white leads" no one can
object; for they do 1t with their eyes
open. But If they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure Of getting 1t, for none but
the genuine article can bear label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of.
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little - sometimes no - real
white lead.
It would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. 1t
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
buying what we did not
want

GOVERNMENT TO GRADE GRAIN
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Has Taken
Steps to Suppiant the State
Inspection.

Washington, Sept. 4.-The secretary
of agriculture has appointed two ex-
perts to make an ivestigation Of the
scientific methods of grading and in
specting grains. The move is prelim-
mary to legislation for the substitu-
ton of federal for state grain in
spection. One of the inspectors will
conduct operations in Baltimore and
the other in New Orleans. Their pur-
pose will be to develop scientific
methods Of determining the quality
and value of grains, instead of the
present methods, in which the judg-
ment Of individual inspectors, no two
of whom guess alike, determines the
price to be paid for the entire grain
crop of the country year by year.
1t is said that grave abuses and
frauds have grown up because of the
great power enjoyed by inspectors
who are charged with playing into
the hands of the grain buying monop-
oily. Senator McCumber and Senator
LaFollette secured the appropriation
of $4,000 to investigate the matter
last winter, and under this Secretary
Wilson is starting to work. When he
has developed system which will
assure approximate uniformly and &C.
curacy in testing grains, 1t will be
reported to congress and an effort will
be made at once to have It adopted
and to place the federal government
in charge of the whole system of in
srection and grading, under a bureau
of the department of agriculture.
