San Francisco Comments
on Los Angeles Bond Sale

Angeles sale, however, to which we
desire to call attention is that INSTALL
ments of the bonds are to be taken
every sixty days, so that the city does
not pay interest until 1t needs the
money for use, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. That practice is universal
with all we'll managed corporations
public or private. Our habit has been
to sell the bonds, take the money, lock
II up and then begin to fight over It's
xpenditure-meanwhil paying inter-
est with perfect regularity. Our people
have not realized that former mayors
have never in what they have called
their inaugural or annual messages
given to the public any such review
of the public business as is expected
in other cities from the chief executive
officer. We now have an admlnlstra-
tion especially chosen not only Tor us
honesty but for it's grasp of affairs and
clarity of thought, and we shall ex-
meet from it not only all savings OF
interest which can be properly made
but a clean-cut statement OF the pusl-
ness of the fiscal year just ended, ana
an equally clean-cut statement OF what
II is expected to accomplish during the
coming fiscal year.

scare. They are all afraid of losing
their jobs.
In those days any American would
have regarded it as a deadly insult to
be offered a tip. Today every one has
his hand out for gratuities, and from
taking tips to taking graft is the short
est of steps.
Why have we become so degenerate,
for this is degeneracy? Life is not
worth living when one is AFRAID. 1
think 1t is because the natural oppor-
tunities have been monopolized, and
my understanding is that the single
tax proposes to restore them to the
people by taxing the monopolists out OF
existence If that can be done 1t is
surely most desirable; far more SO
than the idea of the government pelng

rAE LAST SUMMER RoARpER

IT'S the last summer boarder
Left boarding alone;
All his hungry companions
Have settled and gone;
No clerk, no school teacher,
No salesgirl is nigh
To hear him imploring
A third piece OF pie.
He has packed up his gripsacks, NN
He's loaded his trunk
with his golf suit and nannels
And similar junk;
Soon to the veranda
Again he'll repair,
And for one restfui evening
He'll now find chair.
All. the last ny of summer
Has dropped in his tea,
And the last lonely chigger
Has bitten his knee;
The last girl of summer
This morning must go,
And sixteenthly and lastly
She whispered her mo"
And the last lorn mosquito
Has buzzed in his ear.

And bit it's last bite,
Frostnipped and exhausted

And the silence grows thicker
On valley and hill.

The bill Is quite high

When William ]. Bryan last ran for
president it cost the Republican party
nearly 100000 to defeat him. Good,
unsophisticated people will wonder how
many legitimate expense bills were in
cluded in that grand total. Citizens
who are wise in their day and genera
ton will draw their own conclusions,
and will reason that in an absolutely
square-deal campaign, in which all
contributions must be made public, and
in which the sources, channels and final
outflows of campaign funds will be
scrutinized as never before, Mr.. Bryan
will be elected president of the United
States,

somewhat startling. But there are
