Well, Clifford Pinchot has been sep
arxted from his Office as Chief Forest
er in the Agricultural department BY
order of President Taft. The depos-
ed chief could not have expected any
other outcome, especially after his
letter was read in the senate in which
theoretically criticized the chief execu-
tive, which was impolltic, shortsight-
ed and in bad taste considering the
fact that he was a subordinate. 1t
would have been far better had he
resigned his Office before making an
attack upon the administration. His
actions. hardly accord with a high
sense of moral and political obliga-
tlons and it looks, as if be was in
fuenced by political anticipations :
which will never be realized.

An Illinois scientist claims to have
discovered a process by which he can
make negroes as white as the ordinary
caucasian. Now, if he will discover
some process by which politicians can
be made unselfish and honest, he will
render tue country q service which
will make his name historic and give
him q niche of fame at the federal
capitol. But one is evidently as i'm
possible as the other and the negro
will remain black and the politicians
about the same as they are now.

One by one, The things we learned
years ago relative to our ancestors
are being shown to be falicies by
those whom much learning has made
mad. Now comes Prof. Albert B.
Hart of Harvard college. who asserts
that all the good sturIes told about
the Pilgrim Fathers are simply myths
that they were a bloody set of
heatheus and didn't have single
virtue attribut to them. We have
always thought that they were narrow
and bjgoted, and had no patience with
those who thought different from them
on religious questions, but as to their
being cruel to the Indians we think
the professor IS talking through his
whiskers. And then, to, attract at
tension to himself asserts that the
story of George Washington and the
cherry tree was also yarn. and he
might have said that there was no
cherry tree and George never had d
Ratchet. Thus one by one the good
things of childhood are being ruthless

airy eccentrics. We shall continue to
believe, however, that the Pilgrims
were good people aud that George

LINEN INDUSTRY IN
IRELAND Is GROWING
7O,3S2 People Employed at $16,-
100000 Annual Wage

In giving the estimate that S70.000.-
600 is invested in the linen industry
in Ireland, Consul Henry S. Culver of
Cork gives some details:
There are $3.50 spindles and $4,000
power looms; 70.SS2 people are en-
pIoyed. whose annual wages amount to
Sic 5000 The business is in the
hands of so different companies. of
which II are in Belfast 1 in Cork. and
the rest scattered throughout the ISL
and. AS showing the development Of
the industry in Ireland it IS ascertained
that today England has only $4,000
spindles and Scotland 100000, whereas.
so years ago, the three countries had
about the same number. viz, $4,000
spindles each.
An effort Is being made to revive the
hand weaving of damasks. eambrics
and diapers. which has fallen 10 so low
an ebb through the use OF power looms.
and to that end the hand loom weavers'
protection act was enacted by parlia-
ment, which came into effect in Janu-
ary last. The Introduction in late years
of the linen mesh underwear has great
ly stimulated the industry, and as the
therapeutic properties Of linen become
better known and recognized the in
dustry must rapidly develop.
The export of linen woven goods
from Great Britain and Ireland last
year was as follows (about 80 per cent
of the exports to the United States be-

AUSTRALIAN BUSHMEN
KEENER THAN HOUNDS
Black Boys Track Criminals in
Woods Better Than Dogs

The Australian aborigine is not given
credit for much intelligence. But in all
manner of bushcraft he was an expert
to degree which has never been ap-
preached by the keenest witted of the
white native born.
The black boys are still used by the
government police for the tracking of
criminals in the country, and so far
they beat the bloodhound at this work
The marvellous eye of the black detects
slight disturbances of soil and a
bruised leaf or a broken twig, which
escape the notice of the most vigilant
white bush constable. The success of
the aborigine in tracking game is ira
ditional.
Captain. Cook noticed that the blacks
used to burn patches of coarse grass in
the dry season to- improve the growth
when rain fell, close to timber which
gave them shelter, and when the kan
garoos and wallabies came to feed on
the succulent young growths on the
burned patches they fell an easy prey
to the primitive but effective weapons
of the natives.

LECTURER TO TELL
OF 0BERAMMERGAU
DR.. Edwin Harvey Hadlock Will
Depict Drama at Christian
Science Hall

A pictorial reproduction of scenes
from the Passion Play at Oberammer-
gau will be presented at Christian
Science hall on Friday evening, July
20. DR.. Edwin Harvey Hadlock, who
met most of the actors during his visit
to Oberammergau at the last enactment
of the play, will tell of the drama and
it's portrayal. Edward H. Kemp, who
returned recently from Europe, is pre-
pairing stereopticon slides from a num-
Der of beautiful pictures that Doctor
Hadlock has just received from Anton
Lang, who takes the principal role.
These views will be colored in a most
artistic manner and more than 125
will be used to illustrate the lecture.
This years performance in Oberam-
mergau has attracted a large number
of Americans. The representation from
California is particularly numerous.
Those who witnessed the play 10 years
ago write that 1t has been greatly i'm
proved since then.
Anton Lang as Christus, has achieved
new distinction. Ottilie Twink, who
takes the part of Mary this year, was
a singer in the chorus 10 years ago.
She is the daughter of Hans Twink,
who has impersonated Judas during
several successive performances. Mary
Mayer, who takes the part of Mary
Magdalene, was a singer in the chorus
10 years ago and is considered by many
the most beautiful young woman in
Oberammergau.
The pictures sent to Doctor Hadlock
are the only ones that the authorities
have permitted to be taken of the
Passion Play this year At the lecture
no admission will be charged. There
will be an offering for the benefit of

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY
is JUST CENTURY OLD
Necessity Was Mother of Pres
ent Great Enterprise

1t is just century ago that beet
sugar made its first appearance in
France. The history is the application
of the adage, Necessity is the mother
of invention"
Owing to the blockades in the stir
ring Napoleonic times, there was a
great want of sugar in France, and it
was necessary to invent a substitute.
The honor belongs to Deveux. the
chemist, who laid his researches before
the Academy of Sciences in 1910. Not
without misgivings was the experiment
tried. Some factories were set up in
the neighborhood of Paris, and within a
year there were so such. The industry
was born. The healthy bantling has
thrived at the expense of our own lesser
ref1neries.
In at least Is departments in France
today the cultivation of the beet is a
source of riches and prosperity In
the Nord the industry is greatest. 1t
offers employment to thousands of
peasant families, to say nothing of the
Belgian peasants. who enter France
temporarily at the time of sowing AS
Paris contemporary observes, this an
niversary ought to, be commemorated.

LUMBER MAGNATE
CRITICALLY I'LL
Millionaire G. A. Hooper in Sc
rious Condition Because of
Blood Poisoning

ALAMEDA. July &C. A. Hooper,
millionaire lumberman whose home is
at 1884 Hawthorne street, this city,
is in critical condition in the Lane
hospital, San Francisco, as a result of
blood poisoning which developed from a
scratch on one of his fingers.
The injury to the finger was sus-
tanned by Hooper several weeks ago.
After making visit to- the Tormey
ranch in Contra Costa county the lum-
herman was boarding vessel from
his launch at Martinez, when one of
his fingers was deeply scratched by a
sharp splinter. Hooper paid but little
attention to the injury at the time.
Hooper was treated at his residence
for some time, but when 1t appeared
in few days that his condition was
not improving he was conveyed to the
hospital in San Francisco. Owing to
the advanced years of the millionaire
his relatives and friends fear for the
outcome.

MERCHANTS DESIRE
CHARTER CHANGES
Association Asks Supervisors to
Submit Proposals at the
November Election

The Merchants association has sent
to the board of supervisors the drafts
of two charter amendments that it de-
sires submitted to the voters at the No
vember election. The first provides for
district bonds for street work purposes.
The second legalizes the construction of
tunnels, cisterns. subways and the like
The first confers a new power upon
assessment districts. The second makes
certain power of which there ap-
pears at the present time to be some
doubt
Under the first amendment suggested
by the association, district desiring
to make street improvements may, after
fulhlling certain requirements, issue 10
year bonds.
BOND PROPOSAL EXPLAINED
In explanation of it's purposes the
Merchants association has issued the
following:
I'VE wish to point out particularly
that the amendment, if adopted, is not
mandatory and will not compel the
use of such bonds in payment of street
work unless property owners desire to
use them. 1t simply provides an addi-
tional method by which property own
ers who desire to make street improve
ments, but who can not afford to pay
cash for same Immediately upon COM
pletion, can make the improvements
and pay for them in yearly install
ments if such property owners volun-
tarily request the privilege of paying
in this manner.
I'VE consider this one of the most
important amendments that can be
adopted at this time and feel that 1t
will, if adopted, result in very exten-
sive street improvements in our outly-
ing districts and thus furnish an op-
portunity for more home builders to
locate in San Francisco on compare
lively cheap lands"
CHANGE TO AID TUNNEL WORK
The proposed amendment bearing
upon tunnel construction provides Tor
direct assessment against the property
benefited. The Merchants association
in its letter to the supervisors thus
speaks of it's general purposes:
This amendment is introduced for
the purpose of providing for such a
method of making such improvements
in the event that it should be held by
the courts that the present laws do not
provide for the construction of tunnels,
cisterns, subways, etc, under the as
sessment district plan. The amend
ment will not interfere with the con-
struction of tunnels by the city and
the payment for the same by general
taxation or bond issue If it should be
desired to adopt that method.
Undoubtedly the time is coming
when San Francisco must consider the
construction of various tunnels through
its hills and thus provide direct trans
portation facilities between the dis
tricts that are now more or less iso-
lated and in some cases such tunnels
may be of merely local benefit and the
tax payers might not feel willing to
have the cost of the same imposed upon
the city at large
