PEARL HARBOR VOTE
SHOWS PATRIOTISM

San Francisco Chronicle April .
(editorially):
The Democrats of the House Of Rep
resentatives are engaged In a very ar
dent boycott of legislation for the al
legged purpose of disciplining the Re
publican party and compelling 1t to do
Democratic politics The attempt is
so hopeless as to be pathetic, and yet
it is interesting from it's very hope
lessness; but It is still more interest
ing to note that upon a proposition to
appropriate 100000 for the creation
of great naval base at Pearl harbor,
in the Hawaiian Islands, the boycott
was suspended, political differences
buried and the bill passed by a unani-
nous vote amid tumults Of applause.

CHILDREN IN FINANCE

MT Ew YORK is pointing with pride

~ Gustave Klopstock, who is one OF
the bidders for the $4,000, 900 city bond
issue. He is only Is years old and he
is employed as office boy for broker
age firm in Wall street. From time to
time the good boy of a family is found
among the influences that he has heard
preached against ever since he first
could understand a sermon. His par
ents take him to church regularly, but
as soon as he is old enough to earn
IS a week they apprentice him in the
service of mammon. Some fathers
plead the strange excuse, 81 never

ster in the way of accumulating a

made a dazzling success as a financier

WE DON'T KNOW MUCH

TN HERE is a youthful prodigy in
Ohio. Terry Wiskham, seven
Il year-old Sycamore boy, had to be
promoted from the fifth to the seventh
grade last June. At the beginning of
the fall term the school board refused
to recognize the promotion and sent
the boy home. His irate father
brought mandamus proceedings
against the board and is highly elated
over the fact that the circuit court
has handed down a decision censuring
the school board anG directing it to
permit the youth to begin work in the
seventh grade at once. The court took
a Solomon-like way of arriving at
Just Judgment. 1t gave the boy
special examination and he stood the
test without flaw.
This boy is no more of prodigy
with respect to his fellows than the
human race is with respect to the
race in bygone ages. Our most ele-
mentary acquirements today would
have been regarded as extraordinary
by the rude forefathers in the dawn
of history. while our greater achieye-
ments would have been beyond belief.
Even the wonder stories that have
come down to us from long ago show
that present dav facts transcend hu-

man ability for lying one thousand
years ago. 1t is not wonderful that
from time to time a youthful prodigy
should appear, who would seem to
have been born with brain already
stored with impressions that are under
ordinary conditions derived from long
experience. It must not be inferred
from this statement. however, that we
look forward with joy to an epoch
that will produce men who. when they
are shedding their milk teeth, will be
mentally as far advanced as we are
today. Rather would we sigh for the
simple life, which is far better fitted
for the human race than the most
complicated mass of entanglements,
impulses, motives, influences and arti-
fatalities that We call advanced civ
ilization. Today, with more applica-
ton than ever before in the WORLDS
history, is the human race seeking out
many inventions-and 1t does not
know the meaning of even one OF
theml The universe is still mys-
terry. Life is still unexplained. Men do
not know the explanation of the solar
system or the reason for the reyolu-
tion of the earth around the sun; ana
with many worlds and many solar
systems in plain view every California
starry night, we cannot even visit our
own miserable old tantalizing moon
We are a puny, primitive. Intellectual

York is? How can such an out-of-doors
devotee contemplate saying goodby to
the sunshine. goodby to the birds, good
by to the roses. and going to live in a
city where lou can get less for more
money than in any other inhabited set
tkment of this world?
But everyone who has ever lived in
New York says that he will return there
-some day. What is the reason? Is
there fascination in the roar and
hurry of the narrow. overcrowded
streets. in the rib-smashing encounters
at bridge entrances, ir the jam on the
ferry boats (Which at regular intervals
OF year or two manage to collide or
blow up with loss of life), in the
drip from the elevated railroad that
spots your brand new hat as you dodge
across Third avenue, in the high-priced
restaurants where merely to breathe
costs as much as 1t costs to eat in most
places, in the low-priced restaurants
where you eat with cautious timidity,
wondering from mouthful to mouthful
whether you are swallowing hog or
horse in the hash? In what consists
the Irresistible charm of New York?
After careful consideration of this
problem, we reacl the conclusion that
it is the constant sense of risk and
danger in New York that makes it ir-
resistible to daring spirits. They hate
to go on living year after year, decade
after decade, in a place where they can
rot be sick. and where the chance OF
accident is small. We admit that Los
Angeles has done something toward
redeeming California from the reputa-
ton of being so deadly dull that no one
was ever hurt or killed, while up north
some time ago they had quite little
excitement. But Manhattan is a con-
slant debauch of excitement. You do
not need to wait for it there. 1t is with
you all the time. New York is a hard
place to live in, and an easy place to
die in. California is an easy place to
live in, and difficult place to die in.
In fact, several of our best citizens
sre placidly sailing along toward the
century birthday mark. Please, Mr. |
De Longpre. reconsider your decision.
Remain in California, live for one hum
dred years, or more. and go on painting |
flowers until the last minute of your |
useful existence. We can't afford to |

CRITIC
QUICKLY SQUELCHED
Son of Famous Temperance Advocate
Replies to Questioner in Audience
In a Way That Much En-
tnuscs Crowd

One man, at least, was completely
squelched yesterday afternoon in the
pavilion at Chutes park.
1t was at the closing of the Francis
Murphy gospel temperance meeting.
William ]. Murphy had closed his ad-
dress, which included a grand eulogy
to President Roosevelt.
AT this juncture an old man arose in
the large audience and accused the
president of being a wine-drinker.
Mr.. Murphy asked the man if he ever
saw Mr.. Roosevelt drink wine, to which
he answered
mo, but 1 have read that he did
haven't you read that he drank wine?'
NO" quickly retorted Mr. Murphy,
but 1 have read that Mr.. Roosevelt
did not allow drop of liquor to be
drank in the siege at San Juan hill"
This was sufficient to create wild
enthusiasm, manifested by the clapping
of hands on the part of the large audi
ence. The man attempted to push his
question further, but was completely
squelched by the loud applause and the
band, which at that point opened on
the patriotic air of America" Joined
with great enthusiasm by the audience,
and which closed the meeting.
The man apparently could not hear
himself think with the commotion
around him, and as soon as possible hc
made himself scarce" in that temper
ance audience. He did not even leave
his card with Mr.. Murphy in honor
of the spirited occasion.
1t was announced that Mayor Harper
would attend the meeting and preside,
but he was not present. William j.
Murphy presided. Rev. Mr.. Hendry Of
fered prayer. Howard Stowe led the
music.
Francis Murphy. grandson of the
World-famous temperance advocate,
delighted the audience with a song. Mr..
Stowe and Miss Mcann sang a duet.
Judge Waldo M. York was introduced
as the first speaker.
'I cannot seem to regard Francis
Murphy as dead" said Judge York.
IT did not fully realize the great in
fiuence he held in the temperance cause
until he seemed to speak through the
lips of his noble son."
Judge York made one of his stirring
temperance addresses, which was fol-
lowed by Judge Lusk, who also made
an address appealing to the people In
he cause of temperance.
Mr.. Murphy made the closing ad-
dress, which was full of humor, pathos
and oratorical flight, which called forth
loud applause.
Many people signed the pledge at the
meeting yesterday afternoon and also
at the evening service held in Blan-
chard hall.
