HARPER SAYS MAYOR
IS BIGGEST MAYOR
FRATERNlzE ON RAINY DAY IN
SAN FRANCISCO
Los Angeles Executive Hears Nothing
but Praise for His Northern
Colleague, and-but
Read 1t

Mayor Harper thinks Mayor Taylor is
big man-big in worth, popularity and
ability, though not in size.
Los Angeles executive devoted two
hours OF his stay in San Francisco last
week to a chat with the new man at
the helm in the Bay city.
IF I thought the people speak about
me as they do about Mayor Taylor l
would feel well repaid for the troubles
a mayor has," said Mayor Harper sadly
last night, in musing about his recent
trip north.
Last Friday afternoon we made an
engagement to see the mayor there, his
secretary suggesting Saturday morning
as a good hour.
Mayors Car Breaks Down
$50 early Saturday Nathan Cole and l
went in the rain to the city hall. Pres
emily a telephone message came in say
ing that the car ON which Mayor Taylor
was riding had broken down, but he
would be on hand shortly.
''When he came we shook hands and
had a friendly chat.
1.-THE mayor is a scholarly, earnest man,
smaller than l expected to find him pny-
sically. but of striking appearance, es-
peclally the shock of iron gray hair tow
ering over and around him.
wherever you find a business man In
San Francisco he talks well of Taylor
no matter where the man comes from.
''The city is doing well, forging ahead
RAPIDLY and on Fillmore street we counted
roughly about 100000 persons trudgins
along under the brilliant lights.
and let me say right here that san
Francisco has the swinging electric signs
that favor in Los Angeles, signs which
fold back against the buildings in the
daytime. The sight of the great white
way is a splendid one"
The mayors party visited Graney's pool
room where forty-four pool rooms are In
service day and night, and noted the
many improvements now going on IN
Mayor Taylor's city.

NATIONAL DISGRACE

WE ARE heart and soul with our
w most esteemed morning contem-
porary in saying it is matter OF
profound regret when this country is
made the scene of such cruel practices
as the assassination of Durham White
Stevens.
The moral effect upon half civilized
peoples of the repeated assassinations
of our highest officials can only be ap-
preciated by students of the laws of
suggestion. Three presidents fell in a
little over thirty years. Ever since the
close of the Civil War they have been
sacrificed almost at the rate of one per
decade. 1t is sixty years since the
Russian autocracy was described as
a despotism tempered by assassination.
Our government is not despotism, but
the history of no other country on earth
has been affected so profoundly by war
and assassination as that of the peace
loving" United States. Well may we
pray, From battle, murder and sudden
death, Good Lord, deliver US.

Al the Lincoln Roosevelt league to

tion which has affected the history of

many years. The city official who

that he had been told by the secretary
of one of the prominent legislative
committees at Sacramento that all it's

He made the statement that the rail-
road controls practically every office
holder in the state including district
attorneys, judges, county officials and
commissioners. AS he is himself an
official he knows what he is talking
about. 1t is not possible to deny the
accusations of an expert on the witness
stand. Friends of the league cannot
help noticing that it is exemplifying
in every plan and movement the re-
markable approximation Of the Repub-
licau party to the principles of Democ-
racy to which we have called atten-
ton. The approximation is being made
beyond any reasonable doubt. Aims
and interests which We're associated
with Democracy are now found engag-
ing the attention of Republicans, who
are solemnly passing resolutions and
holding meetings and in other ways
asserting new stand on old questions,
and the new stand which is being
taken by Republicans on old questions
is the Democratic stand, from which
Democrats have never at any time

LEARNED LABORERS

NJ Ew YORK CITY is building a
~ great new system of water
~ works. A special aqueduct police
force had to be created to patrol and
protect the watershed. The chief is a
college graduate and society man.
Many of the members are college grad
yates. The physical examiner of the
civil service commission said they were
physically the finest body of men he
had ever examined. and the candidates
said the mental tests were easy. Police
duty is we'll remunerated in all the
larger cities. The average policeman
makes more money than the average
professional man. 1t Will not be pos
sible to keep collegians out of the ''un-
learned professions" and those call
ings that require physical rather than
mental ability, If the average remuner-
alton for brain work falls off as much
in the next decade as 1t did in the last.
Here is a new and interesting phase of
the labor problem. Many men of mem
tai rather than physical culture were
compelled to earn their bread by
manual toll in the past few years.
Some of them have written about their
experiences. They have expressed sur
prise and delight at finding that the
so-called workingman instead of hav-
ing harder time than his fellows who
dress in starched shirts has an easier
time. If he possesses the requisite
muscle and intelligence his task soon
becomes second nature and he is hardly
conscious of output Of force. Mental
work is much more exhausting, even
physically, than physical work, and the
latter as compared with the former is
"easy money"
