SOMEBODY PUSHING.

Congress now confronts Taft
program of legislation. Last year
there was Roosevelt program for
Congress to act upon. This repre-
sents the growing tendency for the
administration to assume the leader
ship in getting laws enacted, follow
ing somewhat after the manner of
European legislation, where a re-
sponsible ministry either gets its
program of legislation through or
else resigns.
This country has seen so many
do-nothing Congresses, where no
one seemed responsible for getting
anything done, that there is a gen.
eral acquiescence in thic tendency
of the president to assume a more
active share in the leadership of his
party.
With this change gradually COM
ing, when things go wrong the coun-
try will know whom to punish
Many people still feel strongly
against what is called one man
power, but after all one man power
is often the most responsible to the
popular will, because some one is
responsible for getting work
done.

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS NOTES.
Items of Interest Concerning the
City Schools, Reported by the
Superintendent.

We still continue to add new pupils
to our roll We were of the opinion
that our limit had been reached, but
every Monday seems to bring new ones
Five were added this week to the grades
We had 210 cases of absences last
week This makes a total of los days
lost during the week; over school
months for one pupil. Some of this
absence was necessary, and some of ii
was not. We wish to urge a perfect at
tendance so much as possible during the
last half of the year. Promotions in
many cases depend upon a faithful at
tendance upon the work. This is espe-
cially true where pupils have missed
much time during the year. Now is the
time to make preparation for the promo
ton tests. We had but 10 cases OF
Hardness during the week. While this
is a great improvement over what we
have been having, it is not as good as it
can be. Eight grades made perfect tardy
records: End grade, Miss Unkey,
teacher; Sd grade, Miss Daubney,
teacher; 4th grade, Miss Anhnson,
teacher; 5th grade, Miss Wick, teacher
9th grade, Miss Aker, teacher; 9TH
grade, Miss Whalen, teacher; 9th grade,
Miss Moen, teacher; 5th and 9th, West
Side, Miss Gellerman, teacher.
The Sd, 4th, 5th, and 9th grades OF
the West Side are preparing to meet the
corresponding grades of the high school
building in a spelling contest soon. The
date will be announced later. We may
expect to see Greek meet Greek at that
time, and ball game will not compare
with the conflict that will take place al
that time.

LOVE AND DIVORCE.

The great Senator ingalls, once
said that certain senator spoke to
rest his mind. The report of some
remarks made by Judge McEwen in
lecture on divorce before a wo-
mans club on divorce suggested
that the distinguished jurist was
possibly actuated by the same mo-
tive, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Among other things he is reported
to have said that there was no, love
but that of the parent, and of this
the mother love is the highest mani
festation. The love of man and a
woman is thus apparently regarded
as a more or less unconscious form
of parental love, sort of instructive
recognition of each other as a ne
cessity for the qualification of the
highest human affection. We shall
not stop to show in what manner
the judge fits this subtle proposition,
worthy of the schoolmen, into the
argument of divorce and its rene
dies. The proposition itself is suffi-
GENTLY interesting to hold the atten-
ton.
In this case as we'll as in the case
of many other assertions, slight
reference to human nature and hui
man experience are all the refutation
that is needed All we have to ask
is, where is the evidence to show
that parental love is the ground and
substance of the seemingly multi
tudinous loves of mankind.
Do the man and the maid to whom
the heavens have suddenly opened
and let down trailing clouds of glory
and young romance dream of being
the parents of long, heroic line of
sons and daughters. Not that any
body ever heard of. Under those
circumstances the individuals con-
cerned are thinking only of them
selves.
And the love of friend for friend,
of brother for sister, or sister for
brother, by what mysterious process
does the judge imagine these are to
be reduced to parental affection? Or
would he take the easiest issue from
the difficulty and simply deny the
existence of a particular feeling be-
tween such persons?
Great as is parental love, as in
finite as is the capacity of maternal
affection for every species of self
sacrifice, there are many other loves
which answer to the peculiar rela-
tions of human beings and which
help make life worth living.
Love is, of course, difficult SUBJ
ject, and even large acquaintance
with the law does not suffice to give
one the mastery of it. But such
legal knowledge at least should pre-
vent one from going as plainly in the
face of the evidence as the Judge
apparently did.

"eoRAx KINGS" PROJECT.

Oakland, Calf. Dec. 30.-A pre- limianry step to the incorporation al Wilmington today of the gigantic United Properties company of Cali fornia was the recent purchase by Frank NJ. Smith. president of the Oakland Traction company and the Key Route ferry system of the large holdings of these properties of G. Henshaw, president of the Union Savings Bank here.
 By this deal Smith is said to have secured the complete mastery of the two concerns, thus enabling him tO merge the properties and clear the way for carrying out extensive devel- opment and improvement operations which he is known to have been plan ming for several years.
 Smith, who built the Key Route system. officially known as the San Francisco. Oakland and San Jose Consolidated railways. is one of the largest capitalists of this section of the state. By reason of his vast holdings in borax properties he is frequently referred to as the "BoraX King"
