George Drake is taking his de-
feat for Mayor gracefully, and il
buckling down to his work as
usual. He would have tried to
give the city a good administra-
ton and many feared he would
be too rigid. He only hopes that
the new administration will have
their eyes open and make this a
city to be proud to live in. He
would have tried to do so.

The Country Editor.

In the last issue of the worldwide
youths Companion" Judge John A.
Johnson, Governor of Minnesota, and
often mentioned as a Presidential can
didate, has a splendid article on the
above subject we wish we had room to
copy but can only give few extracts:
Few of the great City newspa-
pers print the name of it's editors and
no one knows who wrote the article.
It is just as sound and pointed but the
imam behind is no longer visable.
In the Country the editor lives ''near
to natures heart" He is part and par
eel of the community life. Everybody
knows him. When he chronicles the
arrival of the bouncing boy" or when
be expresses condolences to 1.-THE be-
reaved family" those interested feel
the gentle touch of a friendly hand.
He records triumpbs and successes in
the spirit Of partipation; his chronicles
of vicissitudes and struggles and sor-
rows has the element of personal SYM
pathy. The environment and the du-
ties tend to make him fsir critic and
safe judge of men ard measures; the
impartial recorder and reviewer, seek
ing only the truth in honor bound to
expose crook edness wherever found.
There is nothing mysterious about
the country editor-unless It is his in
GOMEZ The irfluepce of the editor is
more lasting than the orator; then, too
there is glory enough in just being an
editor.
The greatest service the newspaper
performs is the championship of meas
ures that concern the masses. Every
good cause instinctly seeks its aid with
absolute confidence. He has opportu-
nifty to study at close range the men
whose fame he fashions, and is more
Independent and impartial In the dis
cussion of public questions. 4 paper
has no right to SANDER and vilify but
it has the right to criticise people In
public position and policies when the
public good warrants. The lndepen-
dence of the editor has been potent
agency in governmental reforms dur
ing the past decade. The fear of o.
tracism does not make him afraid. He
has taught general recognition Of the
doctrine that no longer can disreputa-
bic candidates or dishonest public mea-
sures be thrust upon decent constitu-
ency."

JAPANESE FILL THE
AIR WITH GARDENS
Make Wonderful Display With
Their Daylight Fireworks
in Union Square
Flags, Animals and People Burst
From Bombs Shot High
Into the Sky

The daylight fireworks in Union
square yesterday afternoon attracted
thoroughly representative Portola
crowd. Everybody went early and
stayed until the last aerial elephant
had numbered eastward before the gem
tie breeze that blew. in from the
ocean.
The band concert made a desirable
adjunct to the fireworks display, and
there was no tedious waiting. Music
and sizzling. bursting bombs kept things
moving swiftly, and the afternoon
passed all too soon for the great crowd
that gathered there. Long. before ,
o'clock people began TO gather and
watched curiously the preparation of
the huge mortars from which the
bomblike explosives were shot aloft.
When the first projectiles scared and
burst above the flag that waves over
the St. Francis there were hand clap
ping and cheers. great American
flag swung TO a parachute whipped out
and drifted of before the breeze that
spread II stif7y gainst the sky beyond
Then there were flags, japanese and
American, swinging across the sky,
and a little gathering of japanese sail
Ors became enthusiastic and applauded
hea rtily. The roar Of mortar and the
aerial bombs which burst high attract
ed many people from Market street.
and as the figures developed and
swung TO and fro a sea Of interested,
upturned faces filled the square.
Flag after flag burst forth and ami
mails enough to stock fair sized zoo
5osted about accompanied by hocks of
birds. Then there were men and
women, goregOusly arrayed, on foot
and horseback. while high above the
colored smoke bombs made whole
gardens of chrysanthemums. flowers of
many different hues and geometric fig
ures that traced A may lacework far
up in the air.
The buildings grouped about Union
square had crowds of people perched
on their tops, the windows of the st.
Francis were filled with faces and the
streets held automobiles. delivery
wagons. taxica bs and multitude of
work and playday vehicles which
gathered and crowded until the street
cars crept along at a snairs pace.
Everywhere the colors Of PortOla float

Not only was standing room at a
premium IN Washington hail.. but it
was also in demand in Steimke hall, in
Octavia street near Union. Both audi
e1nes manifested the greatest interest
in the address of the candidate for
district attorney and frequently inter-
rupted him with applause.
Heney asserted that the present
struggle was the same old fight for
right to triumph over wrong. He told
of: the growth of civic corruption in
this country, and declared that the
dom they had gained after centuries of
fighting than ever before. sWe are
nearer to anarchy and revolution .
said Heney.
Heney said that all the large cities
are corrupt. and as result of. the &C
tivity of capital. The public service
corporations he held to sbe the principal
Offenders. He referred to the $50, ,000, 900
gas steal in Philadelphia and to the
pernicious activities of the gas COM
pany in Boston until regulation was
had which kept the company out of
politics, with the result that it's stock
advanced So per cent and it was
enabled to sell gas 10 cents cheaper
After discussing societys attitude
toward the 'higherups'' In crime,
Heneys said that he did not care what
Calhoun's motive had been, but his
conviction would be the most just in
San Franciscos history. The prose-
cutor's explanations of the motives of
those interests that are opposing him
reused his audience to repeated rounds
of applause.
Hiram w. Johnson, speaking of the
fight for liberty and equality, referred
to Charles NJ. Fickert, the opponent of
Heney, as "a candidate who has been
pitchforked from a doubtful obscurity
and who might as we'll be Pat Cal
