Clever Impersonation.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20. -
George Lubenthal, said to be deser-
ter from the United States navy with
a long prison record, has been arrest
ed here, charged with the imperson-
ating of United States naval officer.
He rented an Office and unfurled the
American flag from the building. His
advtisement for naval recruits brought
many applicants. When they were
passed they were given meal ticket
in true government style for 'casnee
checks in the United States treasury"
1t is estimated the operation in San
Jose netted him $4,000. When arrest
ed, he had two spurious treasury
checks; on one the name of Paymaster
Wilson, of Mare Island, forged for
$3.50. The other bore the forged
name of Paymaster Elliott for s3,76S.

THE CALL OF HOME.

A few days ago word came from
New York that Meme, the Esquimaux
boy brought to this country in 1896 by
Commander Peary. had disappeared,
leaving a note saying that he was go
ing home. He had tried to accustom
himself to our ways and acquire an
education under the fostering care of
well meaning people who wanted to
send him back to the bleak shores of
his. far northern home to teach his
own people the benefits of civilization
and the Christian religion, but it was
no use. The cali of home was too
strong, and Meme followed the i'm
pulses of his heart and went.
In a note which he left, Meme said:
Never mind where I am; l am just
walking north. am homesick and dis
gusted, and when Commander Peary
told me he had no room for me on his
ship l lost hope. I have given up be-
lieving that your Christian belief,
which you taught me. was meant for
a poor Esquimaux boy. After all. my
own people are more human and kind,
and l am going home Your civiliza
ton has done nothing but harm for
Meme is going home. Somewhere
along the cold and forbidding coast of
the Northern seas this lonely boy is
Flooding painfully in loneliness and
tears, upheld by the thought that each
step is bringing him nearer his own
people and taking him further from
our civilization and our influences.
The longing in his soul broke the ties
of ambition in the great world of
thunderous activities and he cried out
in his misery for the darkness and the
cold of his cheerless home and those
who are more human and kind"
We are given to Boosting of our
civilization and the blessings it con-
fers upon those fortunate enough to
share its beneficence. But even such
a civilization cannot displace home,
wherever it is To this poor and de-
spairing EsQuimauX boy our ways
were strange and our people not his
people We are not as human and kind
as his own kindred. Can We deny this
Indictment? Is the stranger in New
York impressed with the humanity
and kindness of his fellow beings?
What is New York or any other place
compared with home" wherever it
NAV be? Anyone with a heart in his
breast can sympathize with poor Meme.
We don't blame him for going to his
people No one can understand how
utterly lonely his life must have been
in a strange land of mystifying Won
ders. among a people who knew not
his native tongue. Even the pilgrim at
the very gates of Paradise must turn
and give one fleeing thought to his
people" and his home"

Kelly Is GriIled.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.-That
witness James F. Kelly, member of
the boodling board of supervisors,
was instructed by the prosecution
concerning his testimony, was the
contention of the defense in today's
session of the trial of Calhoun. Kelly
spent an uncomfortable half hour In
the hands of Attorney Rogers, who as
serted that Kelly had gained possess
sion of copy of his testimony before
the grand jury and insinuated that he
had been provided by the district at
torney. This charge was denied by
Kelly.

Washington: Fair tonight cooler
southeast portion; light frost west
portion, heavy frost east portion. Fri
day fair.
Weather Conditions.
A high area of considerable strength
now overlies the north Pacific states
and adjoining Canadian provinces, at
tended by fair weather, and consid-
cradle fall in temperature over the
province of Alberta and the state of
Montana. The north Pacific coast
storm has now advanced to the Mis-
sissippi valley where it is causing
high winds, with heavy rains in the
Lake region. Snow is falling in the
Rocky mountain states and in por
tons of the north Atlantic states.
Temperatures are unseasonably high
in the Mississippi and Ohio valleys.
The indications are for fair weather
in this vicinity tonight and Friday,
with cooler and heavy frost tonight.

unwise or extravagant. But this seems
clearly to be a case where very small
minimum of knowledge is in prospect
as a result of very large outlay AS
suming that there are people on Mars
a fact which is not of vital importance
If NAV be questioned whether 1T is
worth s1O.OO0,OOO to ascertain 1t be-
vond question. That amount of money
would richly endow a college for the
practical education of young men and
women. 1t could be expended In hfty
different ways for the solution of prob
lens vitality affecting the people OF this
nlanet every day. The astronomer
might perhaps consider the question OF
the inhabitation of Mars as the most
interesting field of science today, and
would probably regard ten millions as
a small price to pay for its answer.
This point of view, however, is not
that of the great majority of people,
who are perfectly willing to agree That
Mars is probably inhabited, that the
streaks on the planets surface are ca
nails. that the Martians are people OF
extraordinary intelligence, that, In TACT,
Mars is altogether a most interesting
member of the solar system. But they
will let it go at that and deplore any
enormous expenditure the net outcome
of which, even if the experiment is
sue cessful will chiefly be the ex-
ploitation of some individual. AS long
as there is great poverty and dense ig-
norance and devastating disease here
on this planet there will be no over
whelming public concern in conditions

THE LESSON Of SAN FRANCISCO.

In San Francisco Monday a former
chairman of the board of supervisors,
who was also formerly mayor of that
city, confessed in open court that an
affidavit made by him was false in its
every statement. He was ex-Super-
visor Gallagher, and the confession
took place during the taking of testi-
mony in the Calhoun trial, says the
Oregon Journal. The false affidavit
was made at the behest of Ruef in an
effort to remove Langdon as district
attorney, whereby the prosecution of
the grafters was to be averted.
The episode may well challenge
reflection. 1t is widely claimed that
municipal government in this country
is a complete failure. 1t is because of
this claim that cities everywhere are
casting about for new forms of govern
ment, and that some of them have
adopted the Galveston plan. The con>
fession of Gallagher is colossal demon
stration of how weak is our municipal
life. Here was Abe Ruef, without an
iota of authority in the citys life He
carried no credential from any citi-
zen or group of citizens. Yet, as the
confession shows, the highest Off
Gals were his puppets. He drove or
bought them to do his bidding. He
attempted the stupendous task of ac-
tually removing the offGer constituted
by the people as their public prose-
cutor. 1t is a sign of how there was
no law he would not violate, nor no
length to which this king of the bosses
would not 60
To add to the significance of the
incident, the confession was made
at a trial in which a street car mag
nate is accused of bribing supervisors
to make him a gift of a public fran
ChiSe of extraordinary value. The
spectacle brings home to all men in
all cities the terrifying knowledge that
their government is susceptible of CO.
lossal corruption, and that even under
the most favorable conditions, the dan
ger is ever present. Even when every
citizen is alert, and when every instru-
mentality for publication is invoked
abuses will creep in, and the citizen be
exploited. The San Francisco episode
would seem to appeal to every citizen
in every city to seek always to keep
bosses and bossism out of power and to
seize and retain for themselves the
ruling power, and stand in every ave-
nue. as a barrier to the approach of
bosses and bosslets. 1t would seem to
appeal to every citizen of Portland to
defend at every hazard and at all cost
in personal sacrifice any onslaught on
their primary law, such as is now on
in this city, and to keep for themselves
that power of rule which it is pro-
posed as a result of the Simon conven-
ton to turn over to machine
San Francisco as a place of resi-
dence is discredited, her social and
business life is dismembered, and her
repute before the world in tatters-all
as a result of a political machine and
rule by a curly boss.

shall decide to have dark blue broad
cloth suit and green foulard gown,
and that you shall watch the newspa-
pers and the shops through the WIN
ter for an opportunity to buy blue
broadcloth and green foulard advan-
tageously.
You will be sure to get much better
value than if you waited until a week
or two before you wanted your gown
or suit to wear and then hurriedly
bought whatever happened to be in the
market at that time 1t is a marvel to
me that so few people take advantage
of the season end sales. AS everyone
knows, in August it is possible to buy
lawns and embroideries for about half
what they cost in April, and at the
February sales there are equally mar
velous values in wooden goods. One
would think the snopkeepers never ex-
pected the winter to return.
OF course there are changes in style
but styles in materials are so slight
as to affect only the ultras.
Many women who patronize these
sales do not know what they want, and
hence buy blindly and find themselves
with something they cannot use on
their hands. But the woman who is
able to forecast her needs for the fol-
lowing season gets the full advantage
of such sales.

MILLIONS FOR A MARIAN
MESSAGE.

Prof Pickering of Harvard proposes
the installation of series of mirrors
at a cost of 100000 for the purpose
of flashing signals to Mars during the
coming summer when that planet ap-
proaches to within 35,000.000 miles of
the earth, or 100000 miles nearer than
ever before in the history of astronomy
His hope is to attract the attention
of the Martians if the planet is in
hapited.
So many wonderful results have been
scored by scientific researches in mod
ern times through the liberal use of
money that it is never altogether safe
