OR the third time since the call
was issued two months ago for
funds, the businessmen of San
Francisco gathered on the floor of the
Merchants exchange yesterday and
with a seemingly inexhaustible fund of
enthusiasm boosted the Panama-Pa-
cific subscription total to s6,155.S40.
Unlike the memorable previous meet
ings, yesterdays gathering was no
mass meeting. 1t was to have been
but the occasion for receiving the re-
ports of the "shoe leather campaign
ers." Thirty-five minutes after the
meeting was called to order at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon it had ad :
journed, but in that time S289.560 worth
of stock had been taken, including the
$104,175 added by the indefatigable
"shoe leather" brigade.

in the river at the east end Of Ply
mouth avenue bridge. Largely through
his efforts these baths were instituted
in the summer of 1905, and they We're

success that the next summer they
were enlarged and improved until they
have become very popular.

SPEAKER CANNON
Old Joe's Notion of Paradise 10 a
Bankers Banquet.

Speaker Cannon always ,outdoes
himself at a banquet, especially at 1.
banquet of magnates. Without pre-
tending to speak authoritatively, yet
with reasonable certainty, it may be
asserted that Speaker Cannon's no
ton of paradise is a bankers banquet
without end.
1t might have been predicted, then,
that when the National Association Of
Manufacturers elected him as it's guest

tertainment and inspiration, and it got

both metaphorically, and great was
the enthusiasm, says the Chicago Tri-
bune.
The speaker began joyously with a
broadside at his pet aversions-"the

agree with the speaker and say 20 eff
fectively), 'the short-sighted man"
ii. e., the man who can't see the speak
er at the house of representatives.,
the specialist" ii. e., the man who
trips up the speaker on his economic
facts), "the philosopher ii. e., the man
who believes the American republic
was not established to pile up the high
est mountain of material wealth and
number of people,. With these
Wretched victims shriveling in the
breath Of his wrath, the speaker pro-
ceeded to point out their objectionable
sin. Sometimes in the "uplift maya
zines"-detestable and contemplate
word, that "uplift'-sometimes in the
metropolitan dailies-but never, no,

speaker HIMSELF! No wonder that,
stricken by this blasphemy against
this best of all possible schemes of
things, the impassioned banqueters
rose as one man and declared for the
immediate execution Of all insurgents,
and we assume that all disturbers,
agitators, uplift magazines, specialists.
demagogues, philosophers and short
sighted men will go into the tumbrel
with them.

their opinions and their spirit be the

Secretary Nagle's Depart
ment "Figgerer" Gets
Out a Little Joker Defend
ing Tariff From High
Cost of Living Charges.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. o.
Your Uncle Samuel, or some of his
faithful servants, are on the job all
the time, defending Uncle Joe Can
non and his stand pat" crowd.
Sometimes funny things happen to
the favorite weapons of these de-
tenders. They fight their battles
with figures, and their latest man.
euver comes through the depart
ment of commerce and labor, pre-
sided over by Charles Nagel of Mis-
souri,, crafty Taft man.
Something had to be done when
the people began to complain about
the high cost of living. Secretary
Nagers men couldn't dispute the
fact that the cost of living had IN
creased, but they did start out to
defend the tariff. o. P. Austin,
chief of the bureau of statistics, and
an expert "figgerer," was selected
to do the work. He issued bull
letin with a title that ought to be
read twice by everybody who has
followed the higher cost of living.
This is it: ADVANCE OF PRICES
IN FOREIGN MARKETS OF
LEADING ARTICLES OF IMPORT
ALTON INTO THE UNITED
STATES"
Read 1t again.
Quite naturally, it ought to ex-
plain that the tariff wasn't to blame
for the increased cost of living.
Maybe Mr.. Austin didn't like the
use they were putting his figures
to. Maybe he didn't notice it, but
the joke is on the stand pat crowd.
From casual reading of the gov
ernment's figures, 1t is certainly
awful the way the foreign produc-
ers of imports boost prices for the
poor man! Take, for instance, the
item of raw rubber. 1t has doubled
in value in the last Is months. Con-
sequently, If some poor wage

PIGS Make
NICE PETS
Philadelphia Professor Saws
They Will Replace Kit
tens and Dogs.

PASSAIC, N. j., Jan. 22-Pigs as
pets for children are destined to re.
place kittens and young dogs, ac-
cording to Professor E. F. Barns of
Philadelphia, who is delivering q
course of lectures here.
The best companion for a child
or 3 or 6 years is a 6-weeks-old
pig, said Doctor Barns, in his first
lecture. "A pig is more intelligent
than kitten, or a dog; It is good
natured and will follow a child; it
IS easily kept. 1t is tough and
round, and its rotundity prevents
the enid from harming 1t, for when
the child picks 1t up and soueezes
1T, the little pig slips to the floor
every time. Pigs make fine play
mates, and I urge every mother to
secure one at once for her little
boy or girl"
