FRANCISCO CHOOSES SHAME.

while New York looks forward q
four years OF government under a bet
ter stan OF city officials than she has
had In a generation. San Francisco
across the continent. looks forward
not merely 70 bad government. but to
a bad government which she has de-
libcrately chosen and welcomed, COM
ments the Record Herald.
In place OF Heney the right arm
OF the anti-graft fight. san Francisco
chooses for district attorney a man
put forward by the chief OF the in
dicted grafters and under pledges to
stop all graft prosecutions.
To complete her chosen type Of
government she selects a Union Labor
candidate who is a sympathizer with
Schmitz and Ruef and who promises
TO make his city "the Paris of Amer
lea" What he understands by Paris
is all the worst that Paris Is and
none OF the best.
The alliance between corporate cor
ruption and vice has rarely been so
openly and so successfully proclaimed
Heney and the men who have back
ed him have probably plenty of fight
left I'm them still but nothing short OF
a miracle viii enable them to make
their fight successful. The prediction
is safe that san Francisco will be a
good" city TO live In for the chosen
few who are now i'm power.

That very interest is in its way
the subtlest form of fiattery," said
the shop girl, and is probably the
key to her success with men. Men
know instinctively that she is to be
trusted. and the shyest and most
awkward of them feel at ease in her
society"
Did you ever notice" said the
manicurist. that she never pro-
nounces sentence on any of her sister
women who happen to be constituted
differently from what she is? She
takes a very liberal view of life and
is always ready to pity and help, but
never to condemn. And she does not
expect admiration from every man
she meets but is always ready to give
way to others. Only the other day |
heard her listening with the keenest
interest to "A man going into ecstacies
over Miss A.-'Such lovely, wavy
golden hair, and such expressive,
dark eyes he was saying. OF course,
he didn't know that two years ago
Miss AS hair was a dingy brown and
her complexion mud colored. And
the sympathetic little girl who was
listening to him was as much wrapt
up in his talk as If he were praising
herself"
There is one thing certain" de-
cleared the stenographer. "she can't
have nerve or she would not take
such a roseate view of life and all it's
little troubles. There is one thing
about her though, that none of you
