NO PLACE FOR THE

although millionaires are plenti-

should certainly dispute his san

pecial pleading in a Chronic
ditorial:
The fight of Jim Gallagher
requires explanation from
District Attorney Langdon,
who alone was responsible
for his appearance when
wanted. and who has not
only let him get away, but
has allowed him several days
start before raising the hue
and cry 1t requires ex-
planation, for there are OBJ
vious reasons why District At
torney Langdon should de-
sire his absence when the
next graft case is called for
trial, and when obvious mo-
tives coincide with actual oc-
currence explanation be-
comes necessary.
Langdon may have desired
Gallagher's absence as an ex-
cuse for desisting from fur
ther prosecution of the graft
cases by reason of the alb
sence of the connecting
link, while at the same time
clamoring that if Gallagher
had not run away he could
have convicted his men. The
disappearance of Gallagher
under the circumstance is
presumably a relief TO Lang

evident it is incumbent on
him to show that it could
not have been prevented. And.

EASING OFF THE PROGRAM

virtually sent Gallagher away in order to deprive
Fickert of the benefit of his testimony
EASING OFF THE PROGRAM
This amuses. Fickert was elected not to prose-
cute but to dismiss If Gallagher has gone away,
fled the country as some say and some deny, it
IS water on Fickert's wheel. If Gallagher has dis
appeared it greatly simpli1es Fickert's program,
rather the program of the influences that elected
him. The Chronicle is simply preparing the way
Tor that program, making il easier for Fickert by
throwing the blame Langdon Hence the
Chronicles crocodile tears
LET GALLAGHER GO
What earthly difference does il make now
whether Gallagher is here or there? AS for Lang
don he has given his proofs at considerable personal
sacrifice and his reputation can not be damaged
by anything that the Chronicle may say General
de Young is not happy in his pose as moral censor
for this community. Let him clean his own
doorstep.
The disappearance of Gallagher comes so pat
to smooth off the rough work of the program that
it seems like part OF the original design. Let

Besides Langdon could only hold Gallagher in
the jurisdiction by keeping up the .gumshoe work
which is SO abhorrent to the Chronicle
MR.. HEARST'S FRACTION
The Examiner did Secretary Knox cruel kind
ness when it said that his letter to Zelaya was

believe the Examiner, Mr. Hearst is three-fourths
OF the American government and has very poor
opinion of the other quarter
ACCUMULATION OF GREAT FORTUNES
Consider the accretion of great fortunes that is
going on, day by day without ceasing, in this
country. Take the case of the late George Crocker
Mr.. Crocker was safe and conservative business
man with no taste for anything that might be
called frenzied finance or anything approaching
that In 1894 his inherited fortune of 100000
was placed in his hands. Now, on his DEATH the
sum is estimated at $200OO00O No doubt that
is much exaggerated, but if he was worth
$12000000 that means doubling an enormous
fortune in fifteen years. There is nothing improb-
able in that
NO WAY TO SPEND THE MONEY
Money breeds money very fast when once the
current income exceeds by any considerable amount

humanity that look small only by comparison with
the lavish liberality OF the big fellows. In any
other country they would be deemed extraordinary.
This wise philanthropy of American millionaires
is without parallel in the history of the world and
l say, give them anything they want. They will
get it anyway.
SUGGESTIONS FOR A STATUE
Mr. Alexander F. Oakley offers me a suggestion
for the Pioneer Mothers statue which l submit
herewith to Mrs Mighels Mr.. Oakley is archi-
tect and man of cultivated tastes. Mr.. Oakley
writes
The fact that pioneer mothers often protected
their homes with rifle in the absence of the
and that they often much the same clothes
the perfunctory short skirt being the only
distinguishing difference, suggests at telling
group Of baby ciinging with both its
mothers neck larger clinging to her skirt, while
she stands ready with mind made up to desperate
extremes. Even bristling dog, if the compost
ton permitted, might add to the sense of impending
danger There are still sculptors who could visual
ze and realize such group that would compose"
from every point of view and tell its story without
explanatory tablet.
AS TO ACTION
Mr. Oakley disputes my opinion that suggested
action is requirement of good sculpture and
instances certain great statues that suggest no
action, such as the Sphinx and the ST. Gaudens
statue of Lincoln. This is merely matter of
definition There is muscular action and mental
action. The statues that he names suggest mental
action. They tell story.
There are famous statues, reputed to be great,
that suggest no sort of action whatever. There
is, for instance the Venus de Medici, but never
could see anything in it but pretty and brainless
woman stark naked
Mrs. Mighels writes apostrophe to the
Madonna of the West, the Pioneer Mother, and
she concludes:

day on this subject. He is the British ambassador
