Power Belongs to Executive.

1t is interesting to note the reason
why the senate committee decided
not to recommend the consular reform
bill. The intention was to write upon
the statute books the way in which
the president shall select appointees
to the diplomatic and consular serv-
ice. The committee discovered that
under the constitution the power of
making these appointments belongs
to the executive, and the Legislative
department possesses no authority to
direct the manner in which he shall
exercise il.

Indictments Go "Hiqher Up."


The federal grand jury in New
York does not agree with the directors
of the American Sugar Company as to
the innocence Of all the executive Of
ficials of the concern, and returns an
indictment against the secretary of
the parent company. The public are
not entitled to PREJUDICE this particu.
lar case, but they have to be con-
vinced that subordinates, in absolute
ly unrewarded zeal for the interests
of their employers, would deliberately
and continuously defraud the govern
ment solely on their own responsible
ty. Nor can the public believe that
the executive officials of the company,
equipped With at least ordinary under
standing of their business and of its
reasonable capacity of profits would
pass unnoticed these unwarranted
earnings, without some knowledge of
their source. New York has a great
team of federal attorneys in Messrs
Stimson and Wise and the public
stand ready to applaud every step of
progress made in this case.-New York

NEED OUR CATTLE AT HOME
Under Present Conditions Germany's
Embargo Really is of Little
Consequence.

Just at present it would be difficult
to incense American sentiment against
Germany's stringent sanitary regula-
tion operating against the importation
of American cattle. Nor can we see
why our stock raisers (if they get
their market rights at home), should
excite themselves thereover.
There Is little doubt, frankly speak
ing, that at the bottom the German
inspection embargo against live cattle
is largely sop to the agrarian or
agricultural interest which demands
protection in the home market and
thus gets it indirectly.
In the negotiations for a tariff un-
derstanding with Germany which
would give her the benefit of our mini
mum tariff she is evidently disposed
to stand out for her present restric-
tions, insisting that they are sanitary
regulations that apply to all imported
cattle, and therefore are not discrim-
inative against ours.
1t seems to be a good point for our
government to yield on, getting from
Germany return concessions else
where. Our cattle supply is below the
normal domestic demand. and is like
ly to remain so for years. Why
should we insist on Germany's letting
down the bars when we need all the
beef cattle We can raise-and more,
too?
Most assuredly the point is not
worth going to tariff war over with
our very good friend and next best
consumer.-Milwauk Sentinel.

FOR PORTO RlCAN WELFARE
Movement Begun to Give People OF
That island Permanent Gov.
ernment OF Their Own.

After the lapse of ten years or more
it seems likely that the government
will seriously take up the condition of
Porto Rico with view of giving that
territory or colony, or whatever it
may be called, some form of perma-
nent law and government OF it's own
and its people known status as citi-
zens of the United States Just why
this was not done long ago is difficult
to explain. Perhaps the powers that
were were too busy properly to con-
slider the matter.
But it appears now that the draft of
bill has been submitted to President
Taft providing for a complete form of
organic law for Porto Rico. 1t is un-
derstood that citizenship clause Civ
ing the people of Porto Rico much the
same advantage as is now enjoyed by
the Hawaiians has been placed in the
bill
Instead of attempting to amend the
act of 1900, known as the Foraker act,
it was decided to rebuild it, 1t has
been torn to pieces and made over
into carefully worded bill, which, it
is hoped, contains all the provisions
for Porto Rican welfare which the
lapse of decade has shown to be
necessary. The Olmstead law of the
first session of congress is contained
in the measure. Secretary Dickinson
is said to have suggested certain
changes in the legislative assembly
of Porto Rico which will obviate the
possibility of deadlock such as oc-
Cured year ago, when it was neces-
sary for congress to pass an amend
ment to the Foraker act permitting
this government to intervene.
1t remains to be seen how compre-
hensive and just this proposed measure
will be. but the fact that at last some
thing definite and positive is to be at
tempted ought to be an encourage
ment to the people of Porto Rico.

Let Us Have Facts, at Least.

Unfortunately there is doubt that
punishment can be inflicted upon all
"the men higher up" concerned in the
sugar trust scandal. Most of the posi-
tive proof against them is of transac
tions which occurred long enough ago
to make the intervention of the stat
ute of limitations a possibility. The
latter deals have been covered up bet
ter, though there is convincing evil
dence of their existence. But what
ever is possible to be done should be
done. At least there should be
thorough investigation and publicity.
The public demands the facts and is
entitled to them.

Beware of all spellbinders when they
praise a public man at the expense of
the party to which he belongs. Their

ALL ROOSEVELT MEN
TAFT, PiNCHoT AND BALLlNGER
HIS SELECTIONS.
facts Good to Remember in ConsId-
ering the Unfortunate Political
ENHANCEMENT at the Ma
tionaI Capital.

In the present political entangle-
ment at Washington it is we'll to re-
member just what the personal rela-
tions were which existed between the
three central figures in the contro-
versy and the mighty hunter in equa-
torial Africa. 1t may help to keep the
situation from becoming worse mixed
in the public mind than it is already.
Clifford Pinchot, who has been dis
missed from his Office as chief of the
forestry bureau, is a great chum OF
the former president. Every one
knows that who knows anything about
governmental affairs. They played
tennis together and visited frequent
ly. Pinchot suited Theodore Roose-
welt thoroughly; there's no doubt of
that.
But all of this, except the tennis
playing is just as true of President
Taft He was Roosevelt's own choice
for the highest office in the country.
They were great friends for many
years. Taft meant more to Roosevelt
than Pinchot ever did. 1t was impos-
sible for the militant former head of
the nation to go farther in behalf of
Pinchot or any other man than he did
in working for Taft's advancement to
the White House.
Secretary Ballinger, also, was ap-
pointed by Roosevelt when he was
made commissioner of the general
land office He was not unearthed
by Cannon or pushed forward by AL
drich. His national prominence came
through the favor of Theodore Roose-
welt, although in the case of Ballinger
II was not such a matter of personal
knowledge and intimacy as it was
when Taft was brought into the cab
met and Pinchot became a chum and
trusted agent of the head of the gov
ernment.
President Taft and ex-Forester Pin
chot are both Yale graduates, and
both were Bones" men at Yale. They
have been friends for many years, and
the president has repeatedly testified
to his high esteem for the Jealous
head of the forestry work of the ma
tional government Mores the pity
that they should fall out now

to them the wedding day needs all the
"pomp and circumstance" belonging

tory-the achievement which crowns
her days. There exists no doubt in
her mind as to the desirableness of
marriage. 1t is the aim of her ex-

lettes as grace this page.

The liking for simplicity of design
appears again in the going away gown
and hat, which relies upon its lines
and pretty elaboration of details rath-
er than of fabric, for the exquisite
girlish effect. Another notable bride
who preferred simplicity in the de-
sign of her gowns was the Hon. Con
stance Lindley, whose gown was really
a marvel in that particular and in
beauty.

material nearly always chosen for the

is gladly made to that all-powerful
dictum, 'it is the CUSTOM" which

of the modiste is in demand. For the

Need of Fortifications,

The fortification appropriation bill
on its way through congress to the
president carries $5,S17,000, a goodly
sum that is more than S2,0G0,000 less
than the amount appropriated for
fortification by the last bill passed by
congress. This money will be well
spent, because when Notifications are
constructed they are in position to
stay, and do work equal to a number
of battleships without entailing any
thing like the cost of maintaining
such floating forts.

WOMEN PROMOTE
Culture Of SILK
Society Seeks to Place State
Among Worlds Largest
Producers

The feud between the legally elected
board of directors of the Ladies' Silk
Culture Society of California and the
faction headed by E. NJ. Kirk, having
been settled in favor of the former, the
silk industry will be taken up as a
serious pursuit along scientific lines
on the large farm at Rutherford, Napa
county, where Father Crowley of the
Youths Directory has his boys.
During the two years it has taken to
settle the litigation over the proceeds
of the sale of the Fruitvale property,
the society has had no funds, but the
members have managed to plant sew
eral hundred white mulberry trees at
Rutherford near the large ones already
f1ourishing there. AS it takes the trees
four years to grow large enough to
feed the silkworm, in another twelve
month it is expected the work on the
industrial farm will be in running or
der. More than 100 boys are under
Father Crowley's direction there, and
they are to be instructed in the work
by experts.
In countries where the silk industry
has f1ourished it has been found neces-
sary to train the workers from early
childhood, and it is hoped that Father
They in their turn are to be sent into
the interior of the state, wherever the
farmers have planted the necessary
mulberry trees to demonstrate the
profit in silk culture.
An attempt will be made to teach
the process in the public schools so that
eventually the silk industry will rank
with the wine industry in California.
Senator Perkins, president of the
ised to establish reeling school for
the girls under the care sof the or
ganization. and the Oakland chamber
of commerce has also taken UP the
matter and pledged future aid.
The women of the silk culture So
ciety hope to make California one of
the biggest silk producers of the world,
and to that end thousands of pamphlets
bearing on every branch of the subject
will be distributed.

Obsolete Claim

The obsolete claim of the Calhoun
corporation had it's origin in franchises
originally granted to the Central rail-
way company and the North Beach and
Mission railroad company The former
had the right to run cars in the two
blocks from Taylor to Stockton streets
in connection with it's system, while
the other company had a franchise
from Stockton to Kearny streets. Both
these franchises were, it is alleged.
acquired by the Market Street railroad
company, and subsequently purchased
by the United Railroads. In reply to
these contentious by the Calhoun cor
poration the state sets up that in 1897
the board of supervisors declared both
franchises forfeited because of aban-
donment by the two companies to which
they were issued.

WARNING SAVANT
QUITS UNIVERSITY
Prof. fiilprecht Has Kept Penn
sylyania College in Turmoil
for Years
[Spe.i1l Dispatch 10 The Call


PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 19.-After
years of agitation and controversy dur
ing which his activity divided the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania into factions,
caused splits among scientists through
out the world. and created serious theo-
logical disputes, Herman V. Hilprecht,
professor of assyriology at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania and professor OF
semitic philology and archaeology, has
severed his connection with that insti-
tuition.
The world famous assyriologist is at
his nome in highly nervous condition
He has denied himself to all callers, and
refused absolutely to make any state
ment Doctor Hilprecht presented his
resignation to the board of managers or
his branch of the uniyersity's work yes
terday. The resignation was accepted
to take effect January /.
The withdrawal followed the most
serious disa agreement which the profess
sor has ever had with the university
faculty and directors. The character
of this disagreement is not known. 1t
is said to have followed a very bitter
controversy. One of the officers of the
board was asked whether Professor
Hilprecht had been dismissed. He has
not been dismissed but" and here the
director abruptly terminated the con-
versation.
Regarded even by those who opposed
him as one of the foremost authorities
in the world upon the subject of archae-
ology, especially the psychological
branch of the subject, Doctor Hilprecht
has been the center perhaps of more
controversies than any other scientist
of his time The scientist is native
of Germany. He has been connected
with the university since 1887, when
he became curator of the semitic section
of the university museum.
