The San Francisco call., 1910-12-12
Stores open DOORS
TO EVENING TRADE
Christmas Attractions Include
Best Productions of Amer
lea and the Orient

Gorgeous display. surprising that
merchants of San Francisco, who have
announced their unanimous determine
tion TO keep the stores Of the downtown
district open until 10 o'clock every
night until Christmas There is keen
competition among the merchants to
with illuminative effects and holiday
goods. Many of the big houses have
planned remarkable and expensive fea-
lures. Everywhere the big plate glass
windows will shield elaborate attrac-
tions.
Market, Kearny, Sutter, Post, Stock
ton street, Grant avenue, and all the
streets through the shopping district
will be veritable highways to fairyland
for the old as well as the young. For
eign importations, home products, ev-
necessity will be on show for the holi-
day season. Whether IL be clothing,
books. hardware, toys or jewelry. every
house in the shopping section is pre-
pared to offer astonishing and daz-
zling assortment.
PARADISE FOR SHOPPERS
Although the show windows will be
transformed into wonderlands the real
paradise will be within. A special ef-
fort has been made by the merchants
to place the productions shown in east
ern stores. as well as the rare goods of
foreign countries, within the reach of
San Franciscans. The merchants de-
sire 10 give the tourists visiting the
city an opportunity to see a Christmas
display that rivals everything in the
country.
Before the fire of 1906 this city was
famous for its holiday sights. partic-
ularly the shopping, but never have
the merchants combined as now. It is
believed that this Christmas will be a
record breaker for San Francisco. 1t
is to mark more than complete rehabili-
tation; 1t is to mark the vast develop
ment of the city.
In order TO provide every conven-
fence for the shopper the stores have
in most cases nearly doubled their
working forces. Particular attention
will be paid to the service at night.
SHORTER HOURS FOR employees
The most competent help has been
engaged and il is expected that un-
pleasant waiting and other difficulties
that formerly attended the busy shop
ping days will be eliminated. The man
ayers will endeavor to remedy the
trouble caused by working employees
extra long shifts. and believe that the
betterment of conditions will increase
trade TO such an extent that the added
expense will be warranted.
In many of the stores the electricians
and expert window decorators have
been at work The transformation in
the downtown district is nearly COM
pleted. but the majority of the mer-
chants are still planning additional
adOrnments. Competition between the
stores has never been so keen. 1t is
every mans desire to outdo his rival,
to present attractions that will bring
crowds down town at night, even II
they have to face bad weather.
The concerted action OF the merchants
means much for San Francisco. Never
were relocated Santa Clauses so plenti-
full, the glitter of tinsel so bright. The
yuletide spirit Will be better and heart
ier than ever before.

Recommending Mining Claims Under
 New law.

The mining law of Mexico which went into effect on Jan. l, 1910, is especially rigorous on the matter of monumenting all mining claims, new as we'll as old. Regarding claims located prior to this new law Article 2 is as follows:
 "Owners of mines who have failed to set land marks to the boundaries of their properties are granted term of one year within which to do this. Any person fail. ing to comply with this drescrip- ton shall be liable for the loss or damage thereby caused 10 any third party. and flu, thermore, shall be subject to fine of from 100 to 500 pasos, which the department of fomento shall impose upon proof of offense.
 "If the party liable persists in the omission for the term of 3O days after the imposition Of the fine, he shall be committed to the judicial authority for inaiction of the penalty provided for dlsobedi- ence of the lawful order of an au- thority, without prejudice to the construction of the monuments under the direction of the depart ment of fomento and at the expense of he party in interest"
 Commentary: The term of on' year referred to in the first part O the above article is reckoned, o course, from Jan. 1, 1910. Look at Art. 27 of the new law and refer ence hereunder.

fined $500 and sent to Jail for 80 days
this week for whipping his wife.
This was the third complaint made
against this South Heart farmer and
when an effort was made to secure bail
for him and take an appeal. it probably
occurred to Justice Folsom and States
Attorney Mcbride that it would be q
good thing to let this ~40.year-old terror
of the neighborhood remain in the cooler
for a time.
The Polander admitted whipping his
wife and told Louis Petricka. interper-
ter, that he had a perfect right to if he
wanted to when she did not do as much
work as he wanted her to do.
The wife said that she could harvest
the crop and could get along a whole lot
better without her husband than she
could with him.

haps another thing that Is equally as
troublesome as the non-enforcement Of
laws, is the multitudinous number Of
laws that are placed upon u statute
books, that are almost never enforced,
and in fact it seems as il they never
were intended to be enforced. 1t is an
undisputed truth that were the Off
GERS we elect to look after such mat
tiers, to attempt an enforcement Of the
laws, their public career would end in
humiliation, as far as popularity with
the masses of our people is concerned.
Now, who is to blame for this state
of affairs? Not any person, wheth-
er he be officer or private citizen, any
more than another. Oh, we hear it
said that the officers we elect are sworn
TO enforce the laws. True enough, but
how are you going to enforce a law
when 90 out Of every 100 persons are
opposed to that enforcement, n how
are you going to get a person that will
enforce the laws to accept office when
he is well ware that he enforcement
of law means unpopularity and a blight
to his future prospects Of success in
the business world.
Take the matter Of our country road
proposition. The law ays the roads
must be dragged: weeds along the
highway cut, and even goes as far as
to say when certain parts of that work
shall be done. but how many voters. as
private citizens, expect to see these
laws carried out? It would not be diff
fcult for the officer designated to look
after such matters. to notify the road
supervisor or township clerk that the
law was not being complied with in his
l;.%~;os ord he on111H ay,ap follow I'M
that notice with a warning regarding
the penalty attached to such non-com-
pliance, but how long would that Off
calls popularity exist Mould he at
tempt TO compel an enforcement of the
strict letter of the Law. and how long
could he hold his job?>
We cite the above because the mat
| ter of good roads is now becoming a
subject of great interest to citizens in
! general and the probability is that the
laws for the building and care of our
highways will. before very long, be
nearer being fulfilled thar many others
that are now almost wholly disregard
ed.
The interest that is rapidly growing
in favor of the enforcement Of road
laws goes to prove that it is the public
sentiment behind our officers that
brings about a rigid enforcement Of
laws. and the responsibility for the en-
forcenent of the laws rests with each
individual citizen. The state and u
~ laws, as well as city ordinances are
, being violated every TOUR of the day,
and this will continue until citizens as
a body point their finger Of scorn at
our public officials when the non-en-
| forcement of various laws continue
| daily. This state of affairs does not ex-
ist in the countries Of the old world
! and it should not in America.

even went SO far as to proclaim his
intention Of directing sergeant at
arms to clear the galleries.
John, You have got yourself into
a deal of trouble with the women" re-
marked Senator Dolliver. h next day
You had better join the Aldrich and
Hale procession, and announce that you
are not a candidate for reelection
The women are after you for threat
ening to put them out of the galleries
the day their petitions were presented,
and they will make it pretty warm for
you in New Jersey"
Now. it didn't make any particular
difference what became OF those suf-
frage memorials. The senate will not
bother its head about that constitu-
ttonal amendment within much less
than a thousand years, and Kean be-
ing fo- the moment presiding officer
OF the senate, couldn't do otherwise
than rebuke that outburst of applause,
To the senate there is only one known
greater crime than Such indecorum

be he will. His present term soon ex-
pires and New Jersey meditates a
break for the society OF progressive re-

WHEN THE DOCTOR DIES,

A peculiar adnes attaches to the
death 81 a physician. When the doctor
who has, in a manner been part of
many families, who has ome at mid
night, bringing hope to the heart and
nepenthe to pain; to whom we have
gone in our suffering for relief ana
stay; to whom men and women have
barred their souls ana opened the crEpts
Of family secrecy; who has been at
once physician, friend and counselor;
when those men die they leave a
poignant sense Of universal loss behind
them which touches n includes all
classes, sexes, ages n conditions. It
is the best reward of the profession, a
tribute to a profession which has least
of the conmercialism OF the g and
most Of its kindly samaritanism. And
of overwork or carelessness Of self in
anxiety to save others this feeling is ac-
centuated. If the truth were known
most physicians die early because Of
ana exposure ana ply S4Ca4
weakness, ~engendered in a carelessness
of self which is prompted by a of
their duty to others. They work TOO
long, go to work too soon, stay at work
beyond their strength. And the i'm
polling force is not SO much in the fees
as in the demands of duty.
So when the doctor dies the commun-
ity loses a friend. The practice Of med
icine is not business, nor is the physi-
cian . business man. Usually he dies
comparatively poor in all except the
kindly confidence he a created His
duty is that of the healer, his place
in society peculiarly removed from the
greedy cruelty of modern business He
is q comforter, a support to weakness
the friend of all mankind, one who
asks few questions except of presen'
suffering, deals with direct human neet
and leaves the rest to God
So, when the doctor dies, we mourn
with q sense Of personal loss. For
splendid, helpful force has been ar
rested and a common friend gone OIL
into the far country.

Keeping White Floors White

Most housekeepers would prefer to
keep the kitchen floor unpainted and
sin the white" were it not for the
labor of keeping such a floor in salts
factory condition. However, the work
of scrubbing will be lightened
and milk-white floors can be easily
attained, by dissolving in each pail
full of arm water a tablespoonful of
Gold Dust washing powder. If SCRUBBED
this way each week, old stains that
seemed to be ground into the wood
will soon disappear altogether. This
is also excellent for scrubbing stone
steps and woodwork.
