The Corona Club held an interesting
meeting on Thursday last in the small
hall of the Mission Masonic Hall on
Mission street. between Twenty second
and Twenty-third. The principal feat
ure of the afternoons programme was
the address by Miss Lucille Eaves on
social training in the public schools
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1907-01-14

Miss Eaves is especially qualified to
speak on this subject, having recently
taken a course at Columbia College,
New York, in sociology and having for
several years devoted herself to the
bettermentEof social conditions in the
large cities Since the fire Miss Eaves
has been especially active in aiding
in rehabilitation work of all types in
San Francisco. Her address before
the Corona Club is considered by the
club members to have been one of the
best and most enjoyable that they have
heard. Mrs. Fred Birlem and Mrs.
Joseph Antique both sang very delight
fully during the afternoon The next
meeting of the club, which will be
held on the fourth Monday of the

lectfOnS among OlnefS present, ana the
afternoon passed very pleasantly. Re-

of the afternoon. The next meetin G

that time. although nothing has as yet
been decided upon.

Reckless RenuhIicnn.

The liberality of the representatives
of the people with the public money
was shown when the contingent fund
grab bag was kept open, few days
before Congress adjourned, so that al
most every employee of the House Of
Representatives could reach in and get
prize. Representative Cassel, of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the Com
mittee ON Accounts, was the free-heart-
ed provider, by presenting 4 series of
privileged resolutions providing for
extra pay for nearly all the employees
ranging from 5000 to $500 each. even
to the page boys and the wagon driv-
ers. The members evidently could not
refuse this graft when they had 50 re-
Gently increased their own salaries
from $4,000 to $500. AS but little
short of one billion dollars was appro-
priated for all purposes at the last
session of only three months duration,
what may be expected when the new
Congress meets, controlled by the same
extravagant crew, and has the long
session In which to make appropria-
tons? The Republican leaders have
become entirely reckless with the peo-
pies money and evidently intend to
use up the surplus 50 as to place an
obstacle In the way of tariff reform.

state Right. and Monopoly.

President Roosevelt may be right in
saying, as he did in his Harvard
speech, that the States rights cry is
swelled by great monopoly magnates
who desire to interpose the reserved
rights of the States between themselves
and the kind of regulation he wants to
give them through Federal action.
This being so, President Roosevelt
only strengthens the hands Of these
magnates by his general assault upon
the reserved rights and powers Of the
State governments.
The monopolists did not invent the
principles of States rights and local
self-goyernment. They have often been
as ready as Mr.. Roosevelt himself to
override these principles and to disre-
gard State lines whenever these stood
in their way.
But in every county of the United
States the principle of local self-gov-
eminent is cherished as the most prec-
ious inheritance of the American peo-
pie. Unbounded as is the patriotic de-
votion to the Federal government the
people will never consent to substitute
its power and control for State power
and control in the relations of life
which the Constitution leaves in the
hands of the State governments.
The people desire the Federal gov
eminent to exercise its legitimate and
Constitutional powers in any and all
ways that may promote their welfare.
But in the last analysis they would
rather side with monopoly magnates
shouting for State rights than with a
President who practically denies the
existence Of such rights whenever they
interpose barriers to anything he wants
to do.
The President will make fatal mis-
take if he encourages resistance to his
reform measures by pushing too far
the issue whether the States have any
rights at all which the Federal gov
eminent is bound to respect.-St Louis
Republic.

Schoolmasters in Paris and other large
cities of France have been forming them
selves into ''syndicates' or unions, which
are affiliated with the general labor fed
Grafton. The movement was instigated
by the socialists, and the teachers do not
conceal that their purpose is to spread
socialistic doctrines. Thus, the problem
is presented of schools supported by the
whole people becoming the instrument of
one political party. Special legislation
may be necessary.
Supt. John f. Riggs of Iowa, in his
annual report urges legislation to sup
press fraternities and secret societies
among public school pupils. He regards
such organizations as a standing menace
to discipline and as promoters of clan
nishness and snobbery, while they place
allegiance to the fraternity above that due

to extravaganza. and sometimes to dissi-
patton, and initiate against the demo-
cratic spirit of the public school.

seIash standpatism.

Through the unwillingneSs Of the
American Congress 70 revise the tariff
and the refusal of the senate TO make
reciprocity treaties, there is Imminent
danger to our export trade with France
and Germany.
We have danced to the standpat
music until it promises to be expensive.
France has announced her intention OF
putting on the maximum tariff, against
imports from America, provided she
cannot obtain a reciprocity treaty.
Germany made such a treaty a few
years ago, but finally agreed to a tenn
porary arrangement by which the min
imum tariff on imports from this coun-
try was continued This arrangement
expires in July, when it is altogether
possible that Germany may follow
Frances lead and apply the retalia-
tory maximum tariff against American
products.
Even with this prospect before them,
however. we may expect no yielding in
the ranks of the standpatters. The in
terests which they represent would
rather lose all the export trade than
give up the privilege of robbing the
American people through the present
excessive tariff.
They would rather pay the maximum
French and German duties than per-
NIT reciprocity treaty that would
lower our schedules, ever though 1t
were only on few articles and to
one or two countries.
They understand that they can keep
up prices of necessaries in this coun-
try TO height corresponding TO the
height of the tariff wall.
They fear that even one or two small
breaches in that wall might endanger
all of it.
They would rather sell goods abroad
at almost any sacrifice than TO en-
danger in the smallest degree their
grip on the throat of the American
consumer.
They are already selling goods
abroad much cheaper than at home,
and are ready to have the foreign net
profits still further reduced rather
than to suffer even the threat of a
disturbance of the good thing they
have in their own Land.
Most Americans. are proud of our
export trade and would be pleased to
see it increase. They feel gratified
that Yankee ingenuity and industry
can conquer the markets of the world
That sort of patriotism does not APP
peal, however, to the selfish interests
that benefit by the standpat policy

1t is refreshing to find that, at least,
one of the principal universities of the
country is not under the control of the
corporations, judging by the address
of the president of Cornell, DR.. Jacob
Gould Schurman, at the Washington
birthday celebration at Omaha. DIR.
Schurman said:
II suppose there Is little doubt that
in some few industries monopoly act
ually exists, and oppression is actually
practiced by making the public pay
extortionate prices. There are rene
dies within reach which may be used
at any time. In the first place, trusts
which are monopolistic and oppressive
may be deprived of the advantages
which they now enjoy as a result of
tariff or other legislation. If any tariff
schedule does actually enable q trust
to exploit the people for its own en-
richment, that tariff schedule is doom
ed, no matter how much talk there
may be of the sanetity of the tariff,
or the solemn duty of standing pat"
This Is rank heresy against the
sacred tariff and will no doubt be pun
ished by the Protective Tariff League
and the Republican standpatters by
anathema and accommodation. The
anathema plan worked with Chairman
Payne of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, when the President in his
tariff reform period had caused that
venerable standpatter TO sit on the
fence until he knew where he was at.
The organ of the league in consequence
denounced Payne as verging on imbecil-
ity. But the President recanted and
Payne became orthodox again and has
since held down the protection lid
quite safely. But out on the Western
prairies there is a greater air of free
dom, and anathematising Gov. Cum
Minis, of Iowa, did not work and for
that matter Gov. Guild, Of Massachn-
sets, has defied the league and the
Boston Home Market Club and their
standpat doctrine. An alliance with
the Democrats is the only hope of these
Republican tariff reformers, for the
Republican party is welded to its idol
of protecting the trusts.
