City Cleanliness and Attractiveness.
The following news dispatch from San

The following news dispatch from San
Francisco tells of a commendable upris-
ing of public spirit and civic pride:
With the scattering of seeds over the
burned hillsides this week San Francisco
will begin the first actual work for its

battleship fleet. At yesterdays meeting
OF the executive committee for the fleet 8

But why wait for the battleship fleet

fui' The home folks ought to he con-
sideIed as we'll as the sailor men, Every
city has its chance to put on the gay
garments of nature and to cover the bare
places. We have sadly ne elected our duty
in this respect over here in America Busy
will, money-making and money-multiply-
ing. we have not paused sufficiently to
thinl. about the esthetic aspects of life,
and the result is that we are surrounded
AT present by spectacles that offend the
finer senses. We let things drift until
the back lots are covered with tin cans
and trash. and parkings are piled high

There is perhaps plenty of law to reach

accountable reason it appears to be no.
body's business to enforce the statutes
and regulations and make people clean up
their premises.
Fhe school garden work here in Wash
ington has done a great de al toward max
ing the capital more attractive. But
more work is needed on the part of the
adults. Brisk action is demanded of Of
ficials to put stop to the nuisances
that are in evidence all over town. Wash
ington, in fact, needs a thorough house
cleaning from end to end. with much
burning of waste and Strengthening up
OF goods The people cannot SOW the
hills with peoples or nasturtiums, per-
haps but they can at least do a little
sweeping and regulating and law-enforc-

bright and delightful in the eyes of the
thousands of visitors constantly passing
through the city.

The Independence League.

The Independence League will hold a
national conference in Chicago on the 22d
instant, and make declaration of prin-
ciples and set a date for the holding of
a national convention. This. speaking in
the vernacular. looks like business. Mr..
Heart will be present, and that warrants
that his wishes will prevail.
Two courses are open. The league may
meet and make nominations before either
of the two old parties acts. In that event
both of the old parties will be advised
in time of just what the league is to
mean in the campaign. The democratic
party in particular will find it necessary
to give heed. The league is recruited
largely from that organization. and is
still busy in democratic territory.
Or the league may hold its convention
after the two old parties have held theirs.
and be advised itself of their settled posi-
ton.
But the more important thing is the
declaration of principles. That will be
made at Chicago. and by that no matter
what may be done later by the republic
cans or the democrats in the way of cam
didates and a platform the league must
abide.
Mr.. Hearst-and Mr.. Hearst is the In
dependence League-has been little in evil
dence of late. Some people have joked
him about growing conservative. They
have complained of the change-have tod
him that they liked him better, and that
he appeared to better advantage as a
CRUSADER. To none of this has he replied
But has his silence given consent? Has
he changed? Has the crusader become
q conservative? Shall we hear no more
that blast upon a bugle horn which once
was worth ten thousand men?
Hardly. 1t is likelier that Mr.. Hearst
has been Saving himself for a supreme
effort; that we are to hear from him this
year in his most vigorous form and as
never before. In 1904 he battled for demo-
cratic delegates. and got over two hum
dred in the old manner of seeking. Now
he has an organization of his own, and
is looking to it for results
If the league decides to hold it's con-
vention after the Denver convention, will
that signify a willingness on Mr. Hearst's
part to support Mr.. Bryan if the Denver
platform suits? He is opposed to any
backward step. There will be his own
platform and the Denver platform, and
1t will be in his power to tell just how
near alike, or how unlike, they are. If
he supports Mr.. Bryan it will greatly
strengthen the latter; if he opposes, it
will greatly weaken him.
