Editor The Evening Journal.
Possibly very many Of those Obliged to
use the streets on wet days have taken
notice Of the extremely filthy condition Ct
the street crossings in the central part
of the city the black mud and slime caas-
ing many ruined SKIRTS and bespattersd
shoes. This condition is aggravated by
every passing wagon whose wheels take
up the street mud and deposit it on the
crossings. Some cities are progress sivo
enough TO have these crossings cleaned.
and in some others men and boys use a
broom and levy "a tax on the passers-by,
Why is It not possible for something to
be done here?
Yours Respectfully.

Editor The Evening Journal.
Now that the time for good resolutions
has arrived many people will make up
their minds to do better and conduct
themselves along different lines in the
coming year. But as good resolutions are
like pie crust, it is more than likely that
the world will wag along in the same
old way after an. Some resolutions which
would be appreciated would be for the
trolley companies to place something on
the streets beside rickety disease blccd-
ing, cold and uncomfortable cars. either
this or the public should resolve not to
use them.
Yours respectfully,

Judging from the entries the local poultry and
pet stock exposition to be given next month
promises to be successful. The attendance at
the display last year was far beyond the expec-
tations of the association and the promoters who
tried the show as an experiment. They are
greatly encouraged this year although the cramp-
ed quarters will prevent the show from being as
large as it would be could all the entries be re-
ceived. The show should be supported by our
farmers especially After they see the beautiful
fowls on exhibition there, they may wonder why
they continue to keep so much mongrel stock.

According to the Dun agency the local business
conditions in the peninsula are good, and there
is no cause for immediate apprehension that the
era of prosperity will not continue. One sig
nihcant statement is the opinion of the manager
OF the agency to the effect that shopping was
more largely done at home during the recent
holiday season. than ever before, and the mer-
chants were thereby more largely benefited.
There was a great deal of advertising by the mer-
chants during the pre-Christmas season. and it
occurs to us that if they would continue through
out the year with the same energy to attract Gus
toners we believe that the opinion Of the Dun
agency would prove to be a permanent condi-
ton. Why not work for business Tor Whining
ton and make it the center more than it is for the
trade Of the surrounding country?

Charles f. Aked, famous English Baptist
preacher who has accepted a call to the Fifth

of his parishoners OF the Liverpool church
thought that his close sympathy with the masses
and his democratic convictions would be dis
agreeable to the rich men. But the latter have
decided to take their chances and are wiring the
English preacher to come over. The doctor is
not at all afraid of the millionaires and if the
milonaires do not like him they can stay away

The Japanese residents of San Fran

They understand that the strike
upon street railways puts ii heavy tax
upon thu police force and that it is
impossible to guard all places at times
against the laWless element of the com
inunity. They are fully convinced,
however. that much of the violence TO
which they had b-~1 subj-ct-i -is-aHe
TO racial prejudice and that the at
temptS which are being made in GER
tain quarters to nave it appear that
trouble is confined to quarrcls between
laboring men, Incidentally involving
the japanese. are without foundation.
In support Of this view they direct
attention TO the fact that the Japa-
ically annoyed and simultaneously at
tackled. Hardly Il day goes by. in the
territory south of Market street. that
some threatening demonstration is not
made by roughs and hoodlums against
