PREcEDENTs FOR MR.. BRYAN

William ]. Bryan was well advised
and was acting in pursuance of some
striking precedents when he undertook
a foreign tour soon after the beginning
of Mr.. RooSeVelt'S second adminiStra-
ton. 1t was certain that his move
ments in distant countries would be re-
corded and would thus keep him full in
the public eye, while at the same time
his remoteness and lack of definite and
early information concerning events IN
the United States would absolve him
from the necessity of pronouncing
Judgment on them. After Franklin
Pierce entered the White House in
March, 1853, James Buchanan. who
was determined to be the candidate of
his party for the presidency in 1856,
and who foresaw that the Democratic
party of the north might be rent
asunder by an attempt to repeal the
Missouri compromise, accepted the ap-
pointment of minister to England,
which at that time, when there was
no submarine cable, was much farther
off than Japan is today. He was thus
relieved from the necessity of Identify
ing himself closely with either of the
wings into which his party was split
by the Nebraska bill. He remained
abroad in the position of philosophic
observer until the time came to pre-
pare for the Democratic national con-
vention of 1856, when, with nice judg-
ment of opportuneness, he resigned his
office Still fresh in remembrance is
the extended tour of the world made
by Gen. Grant, from which he returned
in time to be the candidate of more
than three hundred enthusiastic dele
gates to Chicago in 1880 for third
term. If Col. Bryan means to come
back to the United States this summer
we fear that he is not evincing the
sagacity exhibited by the veteran
Buchanan and by the expert advisors
of Gen. Grant. In the course of two
years many untoward things may be-
fall a. presidential boom-Harpers

BULLET STRUCK WATCH CHARM

A watch charm of the Masonic vari-
ETY., dented with a bullet, now hangs in
a window in the I<imball house block,
where it is under the observation of all
passersby who care to see it, That
piece of gold upon which is carved the
figures emblematic of the secret order
saved the life of w. r. Nash, a we'll
known Georgianj a week or ten days ago
at Woodbury..
Descriptive stories of the duel at that
place, in which James Clark used his
pistol promiscuously, have been printed.
In the gathering when lead was flying
thickest and fastest was w. r. Nash.
A bullet from Clark's pistol struck n
watch charm swinging in front of
Nash's vest.
The charm gave the leaden pellet
deflection. and instead of penetrating
the body the bullet glanced TO the left
and, clipping the flesh on that side,
went on its course until it found it's
way into a telegraph pole, fiom which it
was subsequently dug.
The charm was badly battered, and
yesterday Mr.. Nash, its owner, brought
it with him to Atlanta to have it re-
placed in its setting, from which it had
been knocked by the bullet. He carried
1T to a Kimball house block jeweler,
from whom he purchased it originality
and by whom it was placed ON eXhi-
bitiOn.

aid of a bonfire this stock was readily
converted into souvenirs. Cheap watches
that were blackened by lame
brought more than they would in their
original state of perfection, and rusty
hardware that the fakirs bought In
the junk yards for old iron sold for five
times its original worth after fire had
ScorChed 1t.
About the only things that were not
Offered on sale as souvenirs were bricks.

their weight would be worth in copper
Nails and spikes of all sizes sold for
5 cents each. Empty tin cans that had
been melted out OF shape brought the
same return, and so did Chinese coins
of infinitesimal value.
In these varied industries hundreds,
or, rather thousands, were reclaimed
from destitution. Some were enabled
to lire tents and continue their careers
as merchants in more pretentious quar-
ters. After the first disposition to sell
souy enirs came the demand for food
and soft drinks. The visiting army of
sightseers created this demand, ana
the commencement of work on a large
scale in removing the debris continued

between restaurant booths. Some are
even dignlfled by laDles ana cldls' az

it has become more elaborate, so as to
include ham and eggs, soup and mys-
terious stews and hashes. Van Ness
avenue, once a splendid residential
street, the broad thoroughfare where
the flames stopped, will soon boast
few good restaurants. For many
months to come Van Ness avenue will
endeavor to be the fashionable shop

chants having converted their homes
into stores.
The real activity of the slowly re-
yiving city, however, is centered on

A TRANSATLANTIC TELEPHONE

While it may never pay to lay tele-
phone cable across the Atlantic, IL
would undoubtedly pay and pay well to
lay a cable which, while being effective
for telephone service, would also give
much better results than are now at
tainable in telegraphy. The difficulty
is at present not an electrical one, but
n simple question of construction. The
ca BILE has to be sunk i'm two miles or
more of water. 1t must, therefore, he

or fifteen pounds to the square inch;
this amounts to some two tons to the
square inch at the bottom of the At
lantic, and it is a difficult problem to
devise coils that will stand that enorm-
Gus pressure. But this is simply me-
chanical difficulty, not an electrical one.
The electrical part of the matter is
complete and perfect. Siemens and
Halske are hard at work on the me-
chaniCal problem; they are at present
experimenting with a telephone cable
under Lake Constance, with stretch
of some fifteen or twenty miles and
very considerable depth of water, If
they succeed the next step will be a
series of telephone cables between Eng

TAFT AS SOUTH SPLITTER

Secretary Taft's success in "holding
down the lid" at Washington, as the
presidents understudy, has warmed
his political ambition to the boiling
point. In his eagerness to grasp the
presidential nomination he has start
ed his campaign already. And he has
made sure of attracting national at
tention by celebrating a proposition
that looks stupendous even for man
of his physical proportions.
The war secretary proposes to rend
the "solid south" politically. In the
course of a speech delivered last Mon
day at Greensboro, North Carolina, he
said; Il believe that nothing that
could happen in the politics of this
country would work greater advantage
to the country at large than the break

known as the solid sou

SAN FRANCISCO, July MANY
thousands, probably more than $4,000,
of the refugees who became public
charges in the parks and squares Of the
, city after the fire were practically des-
titute. Those who had saved trunks
and fun outfit of garments were I'm

industries of many sorts have thrived
III the enCampments of these INDECENT
tolk and there have been many social
changes The socialist may find object
lessons In the constant changes of level
that should alter some phases of his
philosophy.
Whenever a stake is pulled and tent
deserted you may know that industry
has raised the refugee to the level of a
self-supporting citizen. A visit to these
tent cities is revelation of the innu-
merableN inventions that are born Of
necessity. A broad -shouldered little
japanese rescued a soap box and a
razor. When he took an inventory of
his belongings he found that he had
also jacket, pair of trousers and 5
cents. He bought a cake of shaving
soap with the cents. set up his box
as chair and became a camp barber
With piece of coal he wrote his sign
on his tent. He began to prosper from
the start. He charged only 10 cents
for shave, and it was amazing to his
neighbors that he was enabled to get
so many customers from a camp of
penniess men. Within two weeks he
was able to fold his tent and drift to
a wider field of opportunity
His example was followed by many
Others, so that now there is not a
refugee camp. of any size that has not
its quota of BARRIERS. The soldiers pa
tronize them extensively, and so do
many visitors, some of them for the
mere sake OF the boast of having been
shaved by a refugee.
In the early days of fight to the
camps hundreds of homeless men of
fered their services as movers. They
carried trunks and odds and ends of
furniture. When they got tent they
tackled sign on it advertising their
Willingness to move anything or any
body at earthquake prices. Some of
them managed to even get pianos out
to the park, hiring assistance in this
larger effort.
The piano soon played its part in
tents that were improvised as concert
halls, where rastine might be enjoyed
for cents admission. Any one who
stood about this tent listening was
charged the price of admission.
Then there was a young man in Gold
en- Gate park who had been assistant
to a dentist. His employers home and
office was dynamited, but beforehand
he managed to save pair of forceps.
His talent in dental surgery had been
limited to the use of forceps and he
considered himself an expert in the
manipulation of this dreaded tool. When
he and his sister found canvas shelter
in the park he managed to fashion a

CALIFORNIA PLUCK

A rather surprising statement was
made by President Wheeler of the state
university on his return from pro-
tracted visit in the east. He was one
Of San Francisco's representatives in
the effort to secure financial aid from
congress and he came in contact with
prominent men In various lines of
activity. His conclusions, derived from
many conferences, Indicate a pessimls-
tic eastern view of San Francisco's
future.
President Wheeler says: "1 must
confess that throughout the east I
found the full and established opinion
that San Francisco could scarcely he
rebuilt, at least in the near future;
every one admires the pluck of the
San Franciscans but is inclined to be-
lieve that 1t Is mostly pluck without
much hope of realization" And as an
example of what he heard in the east
he says: Every one asks. Have they
really started in any permanent build
ing?' What are they really doing to
To The Herald 1t seems that the east
ern opinions as thus reported are in
consistent and illogical. They concede
the pluck of the San Francisco people,
but assume that the pluck will not pro-
duce practical results. Perhaps they
make the mistake of rating Cali
fornia pluck like alloyed gold as less
than twenty-four karats fine. If so
they would do we'll to adapt oliver Wen
dell Holmes in
"Bc firm! One constant element in luck
Is genuine. solid, California pluck"
1t is the apparent slowness in maxi
ing start on permanent building that
seems to be at the bottom of eastern
tion of San Francisco. 1t cannot be
denied that the progress made thus far
in the work Is Disappointing. but that
relates to the question of time not to
the ultimate result. The task that con-
fronts the people of San Francisco is
one of the most stupendous that any
community in the worlds history has
been obliged to face.
1t will take a long time, undoubtedly.
to restore San Francisco to its former
status. to say nothing of contemplated
Improvement thereon. Competent
Judges have estimated that it will re-
quire at least five years of time, and
possibly ten, to rehabilitate the city
as it appeared before the catastrophe.
But nobody who is familiar with the
character of the people of San Fran
cisco can doubt for a moment that the
task will be completed
eventually
