MOTT PLEADS FOR
NEW CITY CHARTER
Oakland's Mayor Tells Social
lists That He Would Unite
Three East Bay Cities
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

OAKLAND, April 10. - Mayor Mott
was the guest of the socialists of Oak
land tonight at their headquarters in
Enterprise hall, Twenty second and
Grove streets. At their special invita-
tion the mayor delivered an address
on Greater Oakland and a New City
Charter"
The mayor explained that the pres
ent charter of thsi city was drawn up
20 years or more ago and that since
that time the city had so grown and
expanded, and surrounding conditions
had changed TO such an extent, that it
has become advisable in his opinion to
modernize the municipal government.
The mayor said that the kind of
government that vested the power in
three or five men, each of whom had
his particular branch of work in the
public interests. had brought the best
results according to the latest expert
ence. The mayor continued:
"A commission form of government
REQUIRES that the commissioners or
councilmen. as they may be called, be
elected at large and not from wards, as
is now the case. Then each man would
have the interest of the community at
large at heart, and not merely the in
terest of his particular ward.
81 also favor the referendum, initia-
tive and recall. These three principles
are weapons that go a long way in
making public officials behave. I shall
support such provision for the new
charter. 1 also would enact law of
compulsory voting, had 1 the supreme
power vested in me so to do"

PROTECTED VICE"
Rev. Fletcher Cook Scathingly
Arraigns City Authorities
in Trinity Sermon
Declares Policy of Administra=
tive Officers Is to Put Pre-
MUM on ViciOusness

Before the congregation of the Trim
ity Episcopal church last night, Rev.
Fletcher Cook in his sermon on "The
Other Mans Brother" declared that
there were enough city authorities and
citizens in San Francisco reaping re-
ward from viciousness to turn the tide
for good, if they alone would make the
effort.
That vice is more profitable than
virtue, and that the vicious are better
protected than those who would up
hold Christian standards. was also de-
clared of local social conditions.
The responsibility for civic vice he
placed with the people who are apa-
thetic and Indifferent.
1T is said" he declared, that we can
not make people good and vfr-
tuous by law but we are here teach
ing them that in this city vice is more
profitable than virtue and we may
well ask if the vicious are not better
protected than the virtuouS. We have
city authorities enough and citizens
enough to take advantage of an oppor-
tunity to change these conditions. who
are themselves tonight gathering gold
from the destruction of character and
the ruin of men and women"

Calls Jeffries Whole Show

The name of Jim Jeffries, prize ring
star, was used last night to point the
moral of a sermon by Rev William
RAIDER at the Calvary Presbyterian
church. Under the subject OF "San
Francisco Amusements and Their In
f1uence on the Character of the Peo-
ple," Rev. RAIDER declared that Jeffries
was given. more attention than the
president of the United States, because
he is the big amusement feature of
the nation today.
The city administration was crit
icised for its laxity in supervising the
places of amusement throughout the
city, but the speaker declared that the
attitude of the officials would only
bring about the desired result sooner,
for the public would revolt against it
and the immoral conditions.
The practice of holding prize fights
on holidays, such as the fourth of
July, Thanksgiving day and New Years
day. was deplored, the speaker de-
claring it to be inconsistent with
American ideals.

conditions premiums were being placed
on the viler and baser things of life.

PRES. TAFT APPOINTS
W. G. PEEL POSTMASTER
Mr. Peel is Promoted from Deputy
ship He Has Served 50 Long.

News was brought to this city Tues
day of the appointment Of Mr.. W. c.
Peel as postmaster for Greenwood, to
succeed Mrs. Alice Mclean who has
served in that capacity for quite I
number of years.
Mr.. Peel has been assistant postmas-
ter for nun'ber of terms, and il thor
oughly familiar with this Office. His
connection with the Office during Mrs.
McLean's incumbency has always been
satisfactory, and his faithfulness ant
industry must have caused the author
ity to promote him.
Mr.. Peel is one of our most promi-
nent citizens, and is connected with
the Leflore Building & Loan Associa-
tion. His many friends congratulate
him upon the promotion which we all
think he has deserved.
Mrs. Alice Mclean, however, has
faithfully served three terms as post
mistress for Greenwood, and her ad-
ninistration has always been a sue
cessful one; and while we cannot help
but congratulate Mr.. Peel on his good
fortune, Mrs. Mclean has been SO faith
full that there was little or no opposi-
tion to her reappointment, and her
many friends hate to see her leave the
Ct1ice.

A STORE TFfMING WITH
ARTISTIC MILLINERY.
A Marvellous Display of the Smart
est Desigus at Fountains.

Some-how-or-nother, Greenwood has
that get-ahead spirit, and always forges
to the leadership in many lines. In the
phase of millinery, Greenwood's mill
linery>department far surpasses any of
those to be found in the Delta. And
most conspicuous among these is this
department at Fountains Big Busy
Store.
In this department you find sur
passing degree of talent, who, in Amer
creations, reproduce the especially dis
tinctive features of the original models
SO as to add very perceptibly to their
charming Individuality. Miss Eulilia
chance, milliner of exceptional ability,
with her exuberant wealth of artistic
French millinery ideas, has charge of
the department.
This Big Stores Millinery has a
charm about it that appeals to the low
ers of odd features. Every creation
shows the possibilities of the clever
hand of the milliner, the eye of the ar
tist, which are the inspiration of the
graceful designs that are SO popular
this season. Exclusive creations that
have that inimitable style effect which
all smart dressers instantly recognize
as the master touch that separates the
ultra fashionable from the common
place make this store headquarters for
correct followers of fashion who ad-
mire the quality kind that can always
be found at Fountains Big Busy Store.
The efforts of Mr.. Fountain to give
Greenwood a millinery department to
which there is style, originality, ar
tistic ability and reasonable prices,
should be appreciated by everyone in
the CITY, and it is their duty to make
this big store a visit while the mill
inery fever wakes warm.
