The Panama Exposition.

When San Francisco. and San Diego
 get together<on the Panama canal ex-
 position proSectAas they indubitably
 must if the Pacific coast instead of tion-each of the two cities will be able to point withs pritler to the ef- forts they have niade,. in n.rfvalry. The little city of San Diego has raised the sum of s2,OoOOoe, apd is tRikiHi of bond issue of million additional, to bring her total sack" to a round three millions. The city of San Fran cisco has. of course. done Shsich bsf ter so far. Within an hhur or two on Thursday, stock subscriptions to the amount of s4,000.0O0 were re- ceived. and it is claimed that by the
 close of business tomorrow the peo- pie of California's great metropolis
 will be able to annonIee to.. the. world
 that they have raised five millions of dollars for the proposed exposition.
 It is to be expected that San Fran cisco will easily maintain her lead
 over San Diego in future efforts to
 raise money. The resources of the
 that San Diego may soon conclude to give up the fight. A question of this kind is inevitably settled in favor Of the contestant which produces the most money. There are many reasons
 why Arizona would prefer to see the exposition at San Diego. That city is much nearer to the central section of the territory, and it would be more convenient to attend the exposition there Before the show is opened, Phoenix, for instance. will have an airline railroad to San Diego. But the greater wealth of San Francisco. her superior hotel facilities. and her ability stenerally to take care of great crowds will win to her side most of California in the contest. and most of tic Pacific coast country as well. But the wrangle betYeen the two cities cannot safely continue indefi- nitely. New Orleans is a powerful contestant for the exposition, and when the matter of a federal appro- -priation is reached it will be found that Ney Orleans has strong support in congress. No time should be lost by San Diego and San Francisco in settling their differences.

Poetry and Prisoners.

There are suggestions of humor in the recent release of two convicts in different states because of their po- etic appeals for pardon. Their sue cess is likely to lead convicts every where to drop into poetry" and it is rather appalling to think of the quan- tity of doggerel manuscripts which governors will be asked to read.
 It was convict in the Kansas City penitentiary who first found an open door to liberty through a poem written to the governor This prisoner had been, behind the bars for some fifteen years. for murder. At the age of 20 he and another young man grew tired of the monotony of village life and set out to be bad men. Going to hold up the first man they met on the street Their victim happened to be the mayor of the town. and when he showed some hesitation at cle- vating his hands they shot him. The young man who afterward developed the divine afflatus of poetry was the leader in the robbery and murder His rhymed appeal for d pardon was 50 touching that the governor par doned both him and his companion in crime.
 The latest case is furnished by the state of Minnesota A man in 1904 robbed the railway station in a little town of s2l. and was sent to prison for ten years. After some years of pondering, this prisoner blossomed out as poet. and his production, sent to the Century Magazine. so stirred the editor of that periodical that he wrote to the governor of Minnesota. and the governor set the prisoner free.
 Perhaps each oi these poetical pris- oners had paid q sufficient penalty for their crimes; but the agency which primarily accomplished their release was their ability to manufac- ture verses. and this seems to place at a disadvantage the prisoner who can't write poetry.
 And considering the number Of bad poets in the world-some of whom ought to be sent to Jail for writing SO poorly-it is to be feared that the governors of Kansas and Minnesota have set dangerous example.

The debt of the city is not out of pro-
