Party Line Evil Laid Bare When
San Francisco Went Progressive
IMPORTANT CHARTER
AMENDMENTS PASSED
BY SAN FRANCISCO
Compulsory Referendum

Every ordinance or other
measure involving the lease
or sale of any public utility,
. or the garnting of a new
franchise for the operation of
any public utility, must be re-
ferred to the people not less
than 60 days after it's adop-
ton, and shall not go into eff
feet until ratified by a major
ity. This practically elimi-
mates bribery of public Off
Gals by public service corpor-
atoms, because no corpora
ton will risk bribing officials
to sell them a certain fran
chise when the people may, at
the election, vote down the
measure. The initiative, ref
endum and recall are also in
corporated in this measure in
simplified working form.
This measure gives the
city the right to buy at any
time, for a fairly deter
mined valuation, any street
railway for which a franchise
shall be granted in the future.
A minimum wage of SO for
eight hours for employees on
such lines is required. This
measure will tend to put a
stop to stock watering. Peo-
pie purchasing street rail-
road securities will hesitate
to buy watered stock when
the city may step in and pay
the corporation for its prop
erty at it's actual value. Also,
If a street car company is
not giving proper service, the
city may purchase it and run
the line itself.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.-A

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. ga
few days ago, in a special city
election, San Francisco swung in
to the list of progressive cities by
creating laws which will make the
greed of public corporations inef-
fective and crime futile.
= Last spring the same electorate
stopped the fight to punish cor
poration law breakers by elevat-
ing to office men chosen by public
service corporations and support
ed openly by them.
Identical forces were at work in
each election. In the spring cleo
ton the corporation ring spent
thousands and worked every game
known to dirty politics to elect
subsevient public officers, includ-
ing the public prosecutor.
In the election just past, the
same ring spent equal thousands
to prevent popular control of
public utilities.
In the spring election the cor
poration ring conferred its efforts
on the office of public prosecutor.
In the recent election the same
ring conferred it's efforts on a char
ter amendment providing a refer
|endum vote on all franchises.
In the spring election the ring
elected its public prosecutor.
In the election just passed the
people by generous majorities beat
the ring wherever the ring showed
fight.
The spring election was read by
the nation as San Francisco's flat
declaration for corrupt, corpora
tion-ruled government. The re-
turns in this election indicated,
therefore, complete reversal of
FORM" startling change of heart.
Yet there was no such thing.
There was, rather, one great ele-
ment, not common to the two
elections. That element was the
thing that is being torn down and
discarded from coast to coast-the
party line.
'The slightest obstruction" said
Francis j. Heney, after the special
election, "is often sufficient to clog
the machinery of popular govern
ment. One of the greatest of such
distractions is the party line. This
has been clearly shown in San
Francisco. 1t has been said that
San Francisco wants bad govern
ment. San Francisco wants no such
thing. San Francisco has proven
1t, and at the same time given a
valuable demonstration of the evil
of party prejudice"

PARIS, Nov. 29.-To be a pre-
miere danseuse of the Opera
Comique and not to have few
kings dangling at ones apron
strings would Immediately stamp
one as impossible from the
Partisan viewpoint.
Mile. Regina is a well-known
Partisan -favorite, celebrated for
her wonderful poses and for the
number of photo
graphs she has taken. She is
best known as a dancer, though
recently she decided to become
an actress, and will in the near
future appear on the stage in o
role full of dramatic possibilities.
For a long time 1t was gos-
siped along the boulevards that
the ruler of Bulgaria was very,
very devoted to the chic dancer.
For long she turned the cold
shoulder-and, by the way, Badet
is said to have the prettiest Shout
ders in Paris-to~ Ferdinand, and

all because he was merely a
prince.
Then for some reason or other
the Bulgarian sovereign got busy
and made himself over into real
king with the handle of czar. And
forthwith Gear Ferdinand has
tened to the stage dor of the
Opera Comique. The naughty
denseuse carefully making note
of the regal crown permitted the
royal cavalier to make sundry
valuable presents of pearls and
other precious stones. Between
visits to Paris Ferdinand still
runs affairs down in his little
band-box kingdom. -
Regina Badet's figure repro
|duces the classic Greek type more
perfectly than that of any other
actress in Europe, it is said.
Paris ought to know, for some
of Badet's poses have made blase
Parisianers sit up and take no
tice.

Cotton Bills of Lading

Now that the bankers of London
have declared a bill of lading and it's
accompanying draft non-negotlable
unless it bears the guarantee OF q
reputable American banking institu-
ton, we are in a fair way to secure
honest bills of lading. This action
of the bankers of London should lead
to reform in the shipment of cotton
in this country that will put an end
to all loose methods
What are called fraudulent bills Of
lading are often not forged by ship
pers, but are bills procured from
some employe of a railroad on assur-
ance that the cotton was on the way
or would be delivered in due time.
How much of the responsibility rests
on the local employe and how much
on the official higher up it is difficult
to say.
But the time has come when the
railroad issuing a bill of lading
should be held responsible for any
loss due to failure of delivery. The
practice has long existed in the
freight service, and if it becomes es-
tablished that the railroads are re-
sponsible for the acts of their agents
it will be stopped.
Congress attempted to make inter-
state carriers responsible for the acts
of their agents in issuing bills Of lad
ing. The House did pass the bill,
but the railroads succeeded in hold
ing it up in the Senate, and it hangs
fire in that body. 1t bids fair to stay
there.
But when an American banking
institution is asked to guarantee a
bill of lading it will be pretty apt to
know whether the cotton named in
it has actually been shipped. The
country is, therefore, in a fair way
to get what the Senate has refused to
put in a 1aw.-Birmingh CHAM Age

TEACHING MODERN DENTISTRY.

No profession has made such uni
versal progress as has dentistry dur
ing the past few years. The course of
study has advanced in all recognized
colleges from two years of five
months each, to a minimum Of three
courses, of eight months each, before
the degree of Doctor of Dental Sur
gerry is conferred. The Southern
Dental College, of Atlanta, is the first
Dental College established in Geor-
gia, and is one of the oldest in the
South. This School has at all times
been among the most forward in ad-
vancing a high standard. We con-
graduate it upon it's handsome 1910
catalog. and observe that it an
nounces, in advance of other schools,
the establishment of new chair on
the subject of Alveola Pyorrhoea and
Oral PrOphylaXis. The question of
Oral ProphylaXis, for prevention of
disease, is the most intensely dis
cussed subject by modern dentists,
and is considered and being adopted
with good results by boards of health
and public school commissioners in
quite a number of our largest cities
1t is an indication of progress to note
that the Southern Dental College has
taken the initiative in establishing
such a chair.
