To Form Syndicate

The plan in the rough is to form a
syndicate of the stockholders of the
group that competition and pickering
may be eliminated, and then to de-
velop the mines to greater depths,
using in the process the modern ma
chinery and methods that were not
known when the Comstock group were
making their largest returns.

the names of either the New York or

POT AND KETTLE

EW ORLEANS is making a card
" in attempting TO land the Pan
~ anna exposition Of charging that
San Francisco is too wicked a city, that
moral conditions are such that Amer
leans should not be asked to go there
to attend great public affair
Now, While San Francisco has done
much, both by commission and omis-
sion, that has not earned the pride of
other Californians, it is nevertheless
true that it is not any worse than a
dozen other American cities. The diff
ference is that she got caught at it,
while many another town is prevented
from becoming the theater of rcvela-
tions and court trials by the protection
of political rings and the absence of
some publc-spirited purse like
Spreckels' to work for better condi-
tions regardless of the unpleasant pub
licity. 1t would be folly to say that
because the city council of Plttsburg
was found to be a nest of crooks the
city is not fit to visit.
The charges come with poor grace
from New Orleans, anyway. Any one
who has visited the Crescent city and
has looked it over pretty thoroughly
must admit that it can give cards and
spades and perhaps the joker to scores
Of American cities as a Wide-open
proposition and then take the game
right handily. The redlight district Of
New Orleans is famous for its large
population and the boldness with
which vice is permitted to faunt itself
within the district. 1t has a published
directory of it's segregated women. In
several respects New Orleans almost
out Herods Herod in its Partisan attri-
butes. It's alcoholic decoctions are
widely known and evidently source
Of pride to the natives. Its Bohemian
resorts are numerous and gaudy
These things are not said carpingly.
They are facts, and New Orleans can
not complain if they are said since she
herself raises the question Of morality
as essential to favorable consideration
on the part Of the American people
generally.

TAKES KEEN INTEREST IN
FRUIT VENDORS LAW

Editor Herald: With keen interest 1
noted the action taken yesterday by
the city council in reference to the
fruit venders' petition. For ten weeks
l personally investigated the family
conditions and financial distress of
many of these small merchants. Most
of them have large families to support,
a sick wife or sick husband, and If
their only support is now taken away
from them by the enforcement of the
ordinance as 1t now reads many OF
these little merchants will either be-
come objects of charity, starve or
STEAL" as one old man of 10 years
expressed himself.
Let the public fully understand the
situation, especially those who object
to some of the unsightly stands which
are certainly an eyesore to sight
seer, that the ordinance prohibits any
movable structure" where a small
dealer may possibly have clear
chance of making bare livelihood.
These movable structures" include
not only the fruit venders stands, but
bootblacks, shoe members, locksmiths.
newspapers, besides the booths and
paviions, such as Court Flight pavil-
ion, which is certainly more of fire
menace to the city owing to its loca-
ton, being surrounded by highly IN
fiammable wooden structures.
AS TO the litIle StdnuS pelHB Hre
menace to the city, l have never
known of any umbrella top or tent
catching fire when such a tent or UNI
brella is so many feet away from any
building, but l am aware of the fact
that a number of awnings have caught
fire when attached" to building.
For instance, only few weeks ago
the Nadeau hotel awning caught fire
from some inflammable object thrown
min 1nH n
large, old wooden structures inter-
spersed throughout the business Sec
tion of our city are more OF fire
menace than tent or umbrella top,
especially If such Is in an open lot
surrounded by brick structures.
In the hands of our good mayor and
city council we can certainly look for
ways and means to protect our little
merchants from further financial en-
barrassment and find solution of this
most difficult matter.

MOST IMPORTANT

TT MAY not be too much to say
that in the coming primaries and
Il the election to follow tie most i'm
portant candidates to be voted on Will
be the lieutenant governor, the state
senators and the members IF the lower
house of the legislature, if the hope cf
the people to break the holl of the
Southern Pacific railroad on The state
is to be accomplished,
1t is important, Of course, b see that
the right kind of a governor is put n
the chair at Sacramento. But even
that might not be done and the eman-
cipation still be achieved, for with a
legislature of tie right kind, if a suf-
aeiont majority is secured, even a gov
crnor hostile to progressive legislation
could not avail. His veto could be
ove11idden, and it is fairly certain
that he would not put himself in the
position of open hostility to an as
sembly coming directly from the peo-
pie.
But the selection Of right legislators
is Of the greatest importance, for with
out il the governor Of progressive ten
dencies would be practically nnpotent.

Baseball in England
lRoston Hranscrlpt.

Americanization of Great Britain must be
preceding rapidly If the statement that
81 G OF baseball between team of town
players Of Plymouth, England, and the nine
of the battleship Indiana was won by the
townies to ., Is true 1t occurs in
special dispatch recounting the stay of the
battleship fleet at the English port while
the midshipmen it carries are seeing the
sights i'll London. In two ways such an
event speaks for Americanization first in the
game being played by Plymouth men at all,
and second in the score. The Britons did not
take kindly to the missionary efforts of Amer
leans to popularize baseball. They preferred
cricket. and for long t1me 1t was difficult
for returning Engshmen who had seen our
national game played here to form mines or
to keep them in existence. Gradually. how
ever. in the neighborhood of Liverpool,
region in which familiarity with Yankee no
tions" is traditional the game drew votaries.
A few years ago the Liverpool people were
playing after our ancient manner which re-
garded big score as equivalent to great
game >-,w plainly there has come a change,
for 1t Is unthinkable that Plymouth can be
entirely exceptional in its conception Of the
game The mysteries Of pitching have evil
IDENTIFY been expounded to appreciative hear
ers. In some parts Of Continental Europe
there are mines The kaiser approves baseball
more than his subjects do and we never
heard that diamonds" were common in the
Fatherland. In Italy the game has been intro
duced by Italians who have been in the
United States and a recent traveller felt
home-like thrill when he came upon band
of Italian boys who were watching one of
their number demonstrate the power and
value Of a 'twirler."

He might by agitation force some
things out of a reluctant boss-ridden
body, but he would be up against the
same kind of obstructive phalanx that
has made the official life of Governor
Hughes in New York a misery.
1t is through the lieutenant gov
ernor and the speaker of the house
that the ra a"'oad machine has done
its work One is elected directly and
the other by the men sent to Sacra-
mento. If they are of the right kind
they will name the committees for
the session with proper regard to fit
ness and honesty. If they are of the
tees that will smother bills, or hold
them back, or fill them full of ''jok-
ers," or amend them in such a way as
to vitiate them in whole or part at
the behest of the machine.
Franklin Hichborns history of the
last legislature should be read by ev-
cry one who wants to know how a
machine does its work successfully
even with a majority against it. 1t
is, in short, by getting control of the
committees through the speakership at
the opening of the session. And
Hichborn's history might well be the
history of a score of legislatures in the
United States, by simply changing the
names of the members.
A United States senator is also to
10 o1oc+ad In, the next general assem-
bly,. The direct primary law must
be recast by that body
Friends of progressive and free gov
ernment should make every senator
and assemblyman say in writing just
what he proposes to do in these mat
ters, not in general terms but speci-
fically and without equivocation.

THE STRONGER SEX

Poor Agernon made bold to eat
A piece of ordinary pie;
It brought him misery complete,
He almost thought that he would die
Clarinda, on the other hand.
When it was ninety in the shade.
Ate chocolates which she said we're grand
And washed them down with lemonade.
She took ice cream with syrups pink
Until there was no keeping count;
She quite exhausted, people think,
The menu at the soda fount.
With salted almonds she made free,
She swallowed pickles by tho score;
A salad she effaced with glee.
And then serenely ordered more.
Now why does nature thus contriVe
The boasted strength of man to houtf
why does Clarinda thus survive,
While Algernon is down and out7

State Politics

Alden Anderson does not look so much
Ike a safe cracker as those colored litho-
graphs that grace the bilboards make him
appear says a writer in the Fresno Republi-
can, who has been looking him over at
close range and finds him "a dapper, clean
spoken gentleman, Of most attractive per
sonality Those who did not visit him. and
are confused by the three portraits eX-
tant, may be assured that the steel en-
craving edition de luxe is the correct one.
The horny visaged poster. which adorns the
fences and barn sides, for the delectation Of
the bucolic eye, has been fixed up by the
engrayer, suppose, on principles of ar
tistic democracy. The slightly more ornate
one, posted in the saloons is quite ap-
proprately a good fellow; no better than
we are But the graceful book sized card,
for the more select places, is the only one
that does the subject justice. Alden is
really a very nice fellow and a handsome
one. The mug which defaces a thousand
miles of bilbosrds from siskiyou to San

UNIONS AGAINST STANTON

The Fresno unions through the trades
council this week placed the seal of their
dsapproval on Phil Stanton's aspirations for
the governorship The action was due
largely to the fact that stanton is the
candidate favored by the Los Angeles
Times, which is cordially disliked by all
union men as being strictly non-union
paper Other grievances sagainst stanton
are that he has much of his printing done
