Something About King.

A King is a mortal god upon earth,
to whom the living God has given
powers.
Kings think last OF God. though He
doeth most for them.
A King should make religion the
rule OF government and he should be
8"the fountain of honor and life OF the
law
"A King not feared IS not loved; his
greatest enemies are his flatterers.
A King has the greatest powers
and the greatest cares.
He that honoreth not the King Is
next to an atheist. wanting the fear
OF God IN his heart. *

THE NEW SAN FRANCISCO.

, opportunities to plumber the city.
The Call rightly charncterIzes the
past IL months as "a year of mira.
Giles" in San Francisco. The amount
of money expended for reconstruction
in this short period is estimated Mt
$75,00O.000. or this amount about
S25,000,000 was furnished by savings
banks Capitalists never lost faith
in the future of the city. More than
200 miles of street railways have been
restored to use, and no money has
been spared on new buildings OF the
latest improved architecture. The
new Palace hotel alone will repre.
sent an outlay Of S3,5OO,OOO.
In the past year labor has profited
greatly. or the $75.OOO,O00 paid out
for rehabilitation 40 per cent, which
means s30,OOO.O0O, has gone to the
industrial workers. At present co.
600 men are engaged in the building
industry. Before the fire tho entire
number of workers in the building
trades did not exceed $4,000. AS to
wages, the men employed average
about 81 day. receiving 100000
every working day-a sum that helms
the general prosperity of the shops.
The facts regarding population are
interesting. 1t was feared that after
the earthquake the city might lose
immensely in population. but such is
not the case. New and better build
ihgs are not much disturbed by slight
shocks of earthquake in San Francis
co Or anywhere else. On April 1S,
1906, the city held 100000 persons,
about $4,000 of whom were not permn.
nent residents. Within two weeks
the population was reduced by de.
partures until the total stood at 49,
600, loss Of $4,000. This was the
lowest mark. But the tide changed
slowly lat surely, until now the mum.

another interesting fact is that the

TAFT CAN FIGHT If coRNEREp.


1t seems to be impossible to keep
the President makers quiet these
days. Just MS we thought that har-
mony In Ohio had been accomplished
and that there would he nothing more
to do for six or seven months, here
come along the principals in that In
tercsting situation and kick II all
over. While everybody knows that
Secretary Taft is big and good natur-
ed, there are some things that he will
not stand and he is not going to for
give everybody, including Foraker. He
wants 1t distinctly understood that he
docs not propose to stand for the in
dorsement OF Foraker for any place,
especially the senatorship, and that
he will not agree to anything that
seems like deal" But there is n
deeper reason than the making of n
"dicker" In his determination not to
consent to any action indorslng For
aker. Taft no doubt believes that the
handspring of Foraker's activity in
the brownsville affair has been for
the purpose of discrediting the Secre-
tary with certain class of people,
1t was necessary for Foraker to put
Taft out OF the way before he could
himself be consSlered in the presi-
dental race. The Brownsville affair
which had stirred up the negroes,
seemed like an easy way to do It,.
What Is particularly annoying to Taft
Is that he would have preferred to
be much less impulslve In the matter
and made more thorough investiga-
ton before dischnrging the negroes
from the army. Taft had the order
held up for day, but he had to re-
consider, for the President was deter
mined. Taft was acting wholly in u
subordinate capacity in the Browns.
vile affair, but he loyalty assumes
the responsibility with the chief he
serves. 1t is said that under these
conditions Taft has felt decidedly bit
ter against Foraker for having made
political issue OF the negro question
to further his aspirations and to dis.
credit the secretary.
II harmony had prevailed Ohio
would not have remained in the polit.
ical limelight. Ohio desires the bal
ance of the country to understand
that she is the center of politics, that
other states may think they are rath-
er important, hut for politics of all
Kinds and shades Ohio wants It dis.
tinctly understood that there Is moth
ing quite equal to the Buckeye brand.
The day after the proclamation of
harmony was issued by Boss Cox
there was n general understanding ut
the White House that from now on
the war Of tka administration on
Foraker would cease and that he
would be allowed to pursue the sen.
atorship in his own way unmolested
Evidently those who gave out that
information did not know the feelings
| OF either Roosevelt or Taft. 1t now
appears that Foraker must stand the
consequences of making war on the
administration. He is the one man
who has had the nerve to stand up
and fight the policies of the admin
! istration and he has got to so Leforo
his people with tho power of the ad
ministratlon against him.
