ScHMITz A BIGoT,

Eugene Schmitx, the convicted Mayor
Of SAN Francisco, is adding hourly to
he volume OF detestation in which he Is
leld there, and his course Is on a par
with the insensate bigotry and vanity
II the man. But little else was eN-
pected OF him and there is no surprise
.oyes the coast at his contretemps in
court on Monday last.
He has the backing OF group Of
weak and idle men of his own calibre
and harps on their encouragement as a
pretext for the greater folly of be-
l,eving that there is any saving grace in
the situation for him. He is Of the sort
that win always be q victim Of silly
hombast such as his socialistic friends
have in plenty and even the proven
knowledge OF his guilt under the law
ioes not constitute conviction with him
nor them. 1t is not robbery to DO as he
has doie, in the socialistic creed; no
man can rob the rich, and to the sense
warped BY the reasoning they hold to,
no man is guilty OF real crime so long
as the act runs harmoniously with the
dogma and fetch OF common ownership
Of everything.
San Francisco win imperil her hnan-
cial and commercial standing in the
world OF business ii Sehmitz shall es-
cape the penalty that has been imposed
on him, and will find the task of her
illimitably hard ii he is
turned loose to resume his post and
predatory impulses. The world OF money
is looking a>kanee at her as it is, and
but little more dallianee with the crowd
and code he typifes, win result in her
complete denial and negation by those
who might help.

THE VICE PRESIDENTS VISIT.

The coming of Vice President Fair
banks to Astoria and Clatsop next Mon
day is fraught with many significant
suggestions, not the least of which will
be the political bearing it may have
While of the Presidents official family
and intimately connected with the
course Of governmental action as we
realize it, the distinguished visitor is
known to be widely and essentially in
disposed to the principles and policies
that actuate his great chief; though
there is nothing in this to reflect upon
the wisdom or integrity of Mr.. Fair
banks, whatever weight It may have in
coloring the public sentiment of this
bailiwick at later day, when the elec-
toral whirligig shall have sent this
mans honorable name to the people for
the highest consideration they can give
it. 1t is not at all improbable that the
name Of the Vice-President win occupy
just such place and it is well for all
men to have. or gain, thorough under
standing of the prime merits of this
leading citizen when that hour shall
arrive, in order that no injustice shall
be done him in convention or at the
polls
We are glad he is coming to us for
this reason. By seeing him, hearing him,
and knowing him to that degree of in
timacy that is obtainable in this visit,
we shall have truer guage for iudg-
ment and far more satisfactory scope
for real estimate.
If he shall never pose in that particu-
lar way before us, then we shall have
had the pleasure of entertaining a
brilliant felIow-citizen with capacity
for acquiring definite knowledge of our
people, our country, our advantages and
our prospects, and who will often be
in position to say wise and kindly

IMPROVEMENTS AT SAN FRANCISCO

Extensive Improvements have been
planned by the United States Govern
ment in the Notifications at the Golden
Gate, San Francisco and much OF the
preliminary work has already been ac-
eomplished The great fire OF 1906 had
the effect of retarding this work and
temporarily diverting a portion OF the
appropriation. These matters have
reached an adjustment. however, and the
ouartermaster Generals office is busily
engaged upon the plans SO far as they
require completion. The aggregate OF
improvements and new works within
the area of San Francisco will, when
completed constitute one of the greatest
military camps in the United States.
An act of Congress, approved June
18th, 1906, provides for the expenditure
of not to exceed Sl,500,000 Of which
$50 900 was made Immediately avail
able for the construction Of general
supply depot for the army. at Fort
Mason, California. The contemplated
improvements consist OF a wharf suf-
fieiently large to aecomodate four trans
ports. six warehouses each GO \ 200
feet and three stories high, and an ad-
ministration building, together with Of
ficers' quarters sufficient to accommodate
the officers on duty in connectio with the
depot. Plans are now being perfected
in the Ouartermaster Generals office for
this work, and it is expected that ac-
tive operations will be begun at an early
date. All preliminary work such as
soundings, locations. surveys, etc, have
been completed. While the plans for
the buildings have not been entirely ap-
proved BY the Quartermaster Generals
office. it is understood that the general
type of construction will be the mission,
and the probability is that all buildings
will be built Of reinforced concrete.
Regarding the work at the Presidio
reservation itself it is pretty well un-
derstood among army men, although un-
officially, as yet, that complete post,
to be known as Fort Winfield Scott, is
to he constructed sometime in the near
future, in the western part Of the Pre-
sidio, near the Notifications. This
work, when done, will consist of bar
racks and officers quarters, with the
necessary storehouses for the occomoda-
tion Of the Coast Artillery stationed at
the Preside.
independently of any of the work
above mentioned bids have just been
opened for the construction of a COM
plete electric lighting and power system
at Forts Baker and Barry. The re-
building of the wharf at Alcatraz, to
cost about $4,000, is already in pro-
gress, and is to be finished by September
The adoption of the mission style will
sound new note in military architec-
ture, 50 far as this country is concerned.
Reinforced concrete lends itself perfec-
tly to this pattern OF structure, and
from the architectural point of view has
all the possibilities Of the old adobe.

watched with interest by the military
architects of all nations.

Crusade Against Hat Raising.

Vienna Cor Pail Mall Gazette.
Count Johann Harrach, the head of the
Bohemian aristocracy and a very wealthy
glass manufacturer, is organizing a society
for the abolition of the present conventional
hat-lifting form Of salutation. The count
and his supporters in the new movement
declare that this practice Of barring the
head in winter frost and snow is extremely
dangerous and induces neuralgia. influenza
and other disagreeable ailments.
Frugal persons afflicted with a large bow
ing acquaintance also complain that this
form of politeness causes hats to wear
out in less than half the ordinary time of
fair wear and tear. And SO to avoid all
these evils 1t Is proposed to substitute the
military salute Of merely raising the hand
to the head.
Count Harrach's proposal is not entirely
original, the authorities in a small Bohe-
milan town having also dealt with the ques-
ton, in somewhat summary manner It
hat under penalty of a fine. but their man
date met with little success.
