Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
The president has issued pro-
ciamation naming Thursday, Mo-
vember 90, as the day of Thanks
giving.
The proclamatiog is as follows:
GA amatiou-The time of
the year has come when, in accor.
dance with the wise customs of
our forefathers, it becomes my
duty to set aside a special day of
Thanksgiving and praise to the
Almighty because OF the blessings
we have received and of prayer
that these blessings may be con-
tinued. Yet another year of wide-
spread wellbeing has passed.
"Never before in our history or
in the history of any other nation,
has people enjoyed more aboun-
ing material prosperity than .is
ours; prosperity SO great that 1t
should arouse in us no spirit OF
needless disregard of our respon-
sibilities, but rather q sober sense
of our many blessings and reso-
Lutte purpose, under Providence,
not to forfeit them by any action
of our own.
"The material well being, in.
dispensable though it is, can
never be anything but the founda-
ton of true national greatness and
happiness. If we build nothing
upon this foundation, then our
national life will be as meaning
less and empty as house where
only foundation has been laid.
"Upon our material we'll being
must be built superstructure of
individual and national life lived
in accordance with laws of the
highest morality, or else our pros
perity itself will in time turn out
a curse instead of a blessing.
"We should be both reverently
thankful for what we have receive
ed, and earnestly bent upon tur-
ming it into q means of grace and
not of destruction.
Accordingly l hereby set apart
Thursday, the 10Th day of Nov
ember, as day of thanksgiving
and supplication, on which the
people shall meet in their homes
or their churches, devoutly ac-
knowledging all that has been
given them and to pray that they
may in turn receive the power to
use these gifts Alright.
"In witness whereof have
hereunto set my hand and caused
q the seal of the United States to be
Il affixed.

FALTERING EXPERTS.

The relief administration seems handicapped by
an over-supply of experts in distribution who, for
some reason, do not appear to be making much
progress either in distributing or in relieving A
visit to the camps, for example, finds the refugees
without soap-and not very clean, because of the
lack of it. Soap, in the CRIME of refugee camp,
ranks high a necessary, but nobody seems able
say who is responsible for the neglect of its dis
tributon.
On Friday small riot occurred at a distribution
Of four-all due to mistake we are told But
experts in distribution not supposed to make
riot-producing mistakes The indications are that
the whole plan for relieving the refugees is rapidly
going from bad to worse It would seem to be
about time for those who assumed charge of the
relief trust to give indication of making good"
or to get out of the way of those who can

. SAN FRANCISCO REBUILDING.

Permits for buildings to cost in the aggregate
$I,634,85o were issued in this city during June.
For the greater part of the month, it will be re-
membered the new building ordinance under
discussion and property owners cautious
about proceeding until they knew definitely what
the provisions of the law governing their opera
tons to be. Then, too, the uncertainty of
property to their rights in removing
debris from their lots caused many to hesitate, as
did the delay of insurance companies in meeting
their obligations. But these difficulties have been
removed, in at least and land owners
are now reasonably free to go ahead with the work
of reconstruction. The indications are that the
permits to be issued during July will be greatly
il of those of June and that they will con-
rtinue to increase during the months to come That
buildings representing outlay OF more than a
million and a half dollars should have been under
taken during June is good sign.
The expenditure of million and half for
material and labor will of itself create activity in
industry and trade. Three weeks ago 10000 me-
chanics employed in the work of restoring the
city. Their numbers undoubtedly largely
increased. Labor is in demand and the demand is
by no means at its maximum. The United Rail
roads, for example, wants 5000 additional aborers
and for lack of them finds itself seriously hand-
capped The activity which the rebuilding Of the
city insures, and the enormous expenditures which
the work will make necessary will make good times
during the period Of rebuilding and do much toward
promoting restoration.

HOUSING THE HOMELESS.

In the home building proposition made to the
finance committee of the relief fund by realty
company which owns large tract of land to the
south of Golden Gate Park there seems to be the
first practical answer thus far submitted to the
question of how to house those made homeless
by the fire. This proposition has been fully de-
scribed by The Call 1t needs here only the brief
statement that the corporation offers to furnish to
the committee for $1,000 each 5000 substantial and
attractive cottages, each on lot not less than
twenty-four feet wide, each with three rooms and
BATH all severed and provided with electric light
and water connections, and all on graded, curbed
and macadamized streets. If the committee will
the outside work of attending the Streets
sewers, lights and water the price is to be $I24I73
each AS for the refugee, the plan contemplates an
installment purchase, whereby for $3.50 a month
he will in ten years become the owner in fee.
This arrangement, making the home-seeker the
tenant and debtor of the finance committee on
plain business basis, seems to be sound in its
nomcal and wise in its sociological aspects. There
is no favor of charity about it and no in it
for the bugaboo of pauperization. Beyond that, it
offers ~secondarily distinct advantage in that the
monthly repayments to the committee would leave
in its hands large which might be applied to
still other forms of relief.
Another scheme suggested to the end-the
payment of bonus not exceeding $500 to every
person giving proper assurance that he will build
him house to cost three times the amount OF the
committees gift-appears to have commended it
self quickly to the finance committee. Indeed, the
alacrity with which it accepted was such as
to suggest previous and private discussion. The
disbursers of the relief fund must remember that
when they have given $500 to every home builder
who applies they must deal with the man who can
not or does not desire to build but yet needs
money to furnish his rented quarters. We shall

CLEANING UP THE POLICE BOARD.

The Police Commission scandal has been brought
to a head by the resignation of Commissioner Jo-
seph T. Poheim Had there been any question
of Poheims fitness for the CommssOnershp his
letter to the press, setting forth his reasons for
resignine dispels it. The retiring Commissioner
recites that "a public servant has some rights,
that he has "the right to engage in. business the
same as any other citizen, and, further, because
public official engages in business 1t does not seem
to me that he should be stigmatized as black
mailer
All this NAV be very true, it may be very false.
1t is true that citizen in office may very properly
engage in business but it is equally true that he
should carefully keep clear of any business the
nature OF which in connection with his official du-
ties CONVEYS even the suspicion Of corruption How
ever Poheim may look at it, no public official
charged with the consideration of applications for
liquor licenses can afford to engage in the selling
OF goods which the applicants for liquor licenses
must buy When such applicants actually do pur-
chase large bills OF goods OF him of the firm with
which he is connected he Immediately lays him
self open to grave suspicion and his usefulness as
a public official ends. That Poheim is unable to
see this stamps him as unfit for the position which
Re has been occupying. He has done well to resign.
Nobody will believe that Poheim went out will
inelv-it is plainly indicated, indeed, that Mayor
Schmitz drove him out. If something OF the same
kind happens swiftly to Poheim's colleague on the
Police Board and partner in the glassware and liquor
enterprise O'Grady it will begin to be understood
that the Mayor meant business when he said at the
beginning OF the year that he would permit no graft
lug The basketing OF Poheim's official head was
al least a beginning. If O'Gradys follow it with
out long deness of tire guillotine we shall venture
to hope that the New San Francisco is to be clean

IN THE DEMOCRATIC BEAR PIT.

The Democracy is without leader or a halter
and the tempting bunch OF Presidential straw has
been scattered TO the four winds. Bryan is ready
to take up the reins of Government, but he has so
widened the breach between himself and the work
ing faction that it IS doubted if he will be
able TO get the party back into harness.
Mr. Hearst's announcement that he will not be
d candidate for the Democratic nomination in 1908
does not seem to have insured harmony. Locally,
and from New York, there have first intima-
tions and then syndicated statements of Mr..
Hearst's determination to avoid the Presidential
chair. There must be something in the report.
a Tammany leader says that Mr.. Hearst has with
drawn and Mr. Hearst says so himself Tammany
says that the editor does not want to run up
against the Bryan boom; Hearst himself replies to
Bryan's complimentary mention in the London
speech with nothing that binds him to keep his
hands off the Nebraskan. His illusions to Bryans
services are not at all Of character to reassure
that statesnlan's campaign managers. The only
other prominent Democrats whom Mr. Hearst does
not cross off the list of possibilities Folk and
Stevenson, though he grudgingy comedies to
Bailey of Texas a remote chance for the second
place on the ticket.
There may be, and doubtless is, information of
political value in Mr.. Hearst's statement respecting
other places than the Presidency. Il do not say"
he remarks, that will not for any Office, for
willing to run, did last fall, to break up
political trust, criminal combination, between
both political parties, or to help defeat those
wretched little political sneak thieves that are lifted
into the open windows of public office by the cor
poratons to pass out to them the peoples property"
All this according to the New York view, means
that Hearst is not antagonizing Bryan because he
does not want the Bryanites to oppose him for
Governor of New York. In politics the sophisti-
Gated aspirant never says what he means and does
not often mean what he says.

observing the turn-to-the-right rule, and would no
doubt, land in Jail because of his folly.
Figuratvely speaking, small percentage OF
automobiles have been turning to the left. AS a
result, not only have they brought themselves into
i'll repute with the public, but they have called down
TIE wrath upon the heads of all automobilists.
Those who should be most interested in seeing that
the use of the automobile is not turned into abuse
are the automobiists themselves. If their organi-
cations would discourage reckless running even to
the extent of prosecuting notorious violators of
the speed regulations, lawless automobile riding
would soon give indications of disappearing, and
with it popular prejudice against the machines.
