SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-THE

enthusiastically declared itself in
favor of fusion in the nomination of
mayor and district attorney, by en-
powering the chair to appoint com

Democratic and Union Labor conven-

held on the 18th. The date for hold

mot been fixed. A feature of the con-

program is that District Attorney

that Ryan would be nominated for

|CHICAGO'S new
CHARTER REJECTED

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-The new
charter authorized by the State legis-
lature at the last session for the city
of Chicago, was rejected by the vot-
ers at today's special election by a
majority of over $4,000. Little more
than half Of the registered vote was
cast. The final figures are unofficial,
showing 594,06 ballots for the char
ter and 122,057 against. The total
vote polled was 131, 900, out of reg
istered vote of S61, ,969. The light
vote was due in some measure to the
fact that the election was a special
one and that granting time off for
the purpose of voting was optional
with employers and in a majority of
cases voters were obliged to go to
the polls before going to work or not
at all.

MUSIC NOT A FAD.
What It Means To Education In the
 Real and Higher Sense.

E. Blitz in the New York Times.
 In answer to the special to the New York Times Patterson, October 24) re- garding the petition of 300 teachers to the Board of Education, who declared that music is fad. will you allow me to say:
 Yes. music is fad, but only for those who do not know music or who look upon music as the art of combining sounds in a manner more or less dis agreeable to the ear. But the educator, the philosopher consider music from different point of view. Music is an in tellectual language, not exclusively theo- retical or practical, but eminently speeu- lative. Music deals not only with sounds and emotions, but applies itself to meta physical distractions in the same manner as algebra applies itself to physical ab- stractions; it rests upon immutable prin- ciples such those which govern all things in the universe, and it is why Plato, long after Continents and zoroastei, said in his book of laws that Fin music are contained all the parts of education He says elsewhere: Music must be con sidered as one of the first clements of education" In the middle ages Martin Luther writes to Wittenberg: Youth must be instructed in that divine art. Music is necessary in the schools, and l do not consider as a real teacher he who cannot sing" In our time Guizot, the statesman and historian, writes: Music gives to the soul a real interior culture and is a part of the education of the people" The study of music is uni versally considered as a very important factor in education and 1t is time wasted to attempt to demonstrate that which has become an axiom among people of all classes sincerely interested in the inter- lectual development of the people, among all persons who have at heart the reputa- ton of our American public instruction.

Exhibits In Washington

Congressman Peter A. Porter of the Niagara Falls district has decided to install in his rooms in the new house office building in Washington an ex- hibit of the products of his district. He represents district that has many salt mines and quarries, as we'll as numerous industries. Maps, too, will show where the Erie canal empties in his district into the Great Lakes. Power development at Niagara Falls is also to be represented, and the scenic features of the district are not to be neglected. Each county in Mr. Porter's district is to be assigned an allotted space, and no fayoritism is to be shown.
 It is said other congressman intend to do likewise, and possibly Oscar w. Underwood may catch the con- tagion and ask Perry to send Up some tobacco, and Bibb some blocks of coal, and Jefferson a few kegs of steel nails or a rail or two. and Blount might send in a sample or two of moonshine whisky.
 The office building in Washington will soon be completed, and if this dis trict desires to get in the swim it's operators, manufacturers and farmers should begin to get in touch with MT. Underwood with a view to making an district By means of united skill and energy the Ninth Alabama district could make a fine display.

Pleasure of Walking.

'ln such weather as we are having now it surprises me to see people riding on street cars when they have only short distances to go said T northern man.
 "I live about 15 blocks from my business and l walk to my office every morning. It gives me feeling of exhilaration to step briskly along the level cement pavement, and when l reach my office the blood faiFly tingles through my veins.
 When | lived in Baltimore about this season of the year it used to charm my heart to see all the rosy-cheeked, bright eyed young girls walking in from the suburbs to the stores and offices where they were employed in the city. The sharp, frosty air was just suitable for the vigorous exercise and every one of the SC young girls was picture of health.
 Southern people, especially girls, lo not take enough walking exercise with the result that very few of them walk gracefully. There is no motion of body so dignlfied as walking erect with an easy, firm tread and slight swaying of the bod5-. The time when quadrilles and lancers used to be danced taught men and women the art of graceful carriage, but the waltz mas superseded these old-time dances with the result that the art of walking is lost"

Next Tuesdays Elections

The state elections which take place tomorrow include six ih which gover- nors will be lected. Massachusetts will elect a republican governor while Mississippi and Kentucky will elect democratic governors. Rhode Island now has a democratic governor, and he may be reelected. New Jersey is sharply contested this year and the Sunday liquor traffic in the su- burban state renders the result some what doubtful. Maryland has demo- cratic governor, but the republicans in that state are still plucky, and they make a stiff fight. The votes cast in Rhode Island New Jersey and Maryland will furnish some indica- battle of next year, particularly in New Jersey.
 Much interest is taken in several To- cal elections. For example, in New York cty's election for judges Hearst and the republican party are arrayed against Tammany. A victory in favor of Tammany would have national bear ings, for it would be an indication that the democrats could carry the state next year. So in Cleveland, if Tom Johnson defeats Theodare D. Burton for mayor, the boom of Secretary Taft would get a setback, and the factional fight in Ohio would be re- newed. The voters in Cleveland are probably getting ready to give Tom Johnson a fourth term, and yet 1t normally goes republican. San Fran cisco, and Jersey City and Cleveland are to elect mayors. All the contests are locally interesting, but they will not cut much of a figure in na- tional politics. The close observer next. Tuesday might well seek to heaT from New Jersey and from Cleveland. and he will not be apt to trodble himself about the rest until the fol- lowing morning.

scapegoat of their mistakes and of any hard times that may come to the country. It is safe to say that fin aneial troubles have saved the >coun- try from the dangers of third term. Whether the reaction from a third term is strong enough to defeat MT. Taft, who seems 10 be the Presidents bosom friend, remains to be developed. Those who do not admire, politically, the man of Ohio, seem to be lean ing rather more distinctly toward Jo- seph G. Cannon, and the reactionaries, who are largely ignored, are inclined to accept the ex-speaker. chiefly be- cause he is an opponent of tariff re- vision, and is not trust buster. He is not their first choice, but they be- gin to see they cannot have in Ine race a man of their own ways of thinking.

The Pistol Totina Evil.

"rhe agitation of the pistol toting evil is of utmost importance, and one that should be taken up by every person with a determination 10 bring results" said a citizen yesterday.
 What Ned Brace had to say editorially in The Age-Herald this morning calls to my mind a feature which no doubt puts pistols in more negroes pockets than any other one thing.
 ''I am told by a mine operator. who has observed the mat<er, that the miners are almost continually receiving throush h the mails little catalogues from the big firearms companies, advertising their specials al prices ranging anywhere from aS cents on up, The average negro sees these beautiful pistols on finely engraved plates and his natural desire to walk around with gun in his pocket prompts him to send for one of the cheap guns.
 f'If this matter could in any way be stopped 1 believe there would be fewer pistol toters among. the negro miners. No doubt the same thing applies among all classes of negroes.
 "A cheap pitsol is worse than a good one. It probably does more to promote the pistol toting evil.
