AT OTHING new under the sun,
writes clever Mary Ashe Miller
~ in the san Francisco Call; yet
the old things have a way of assuming
strange aspects which persuade us al
most that different phases have de-
veloped.
There have been some very peculiar
things done by womankind recently
for which ii is difficult to account by
any of the general rules. Women act
usually on intuition and impulse be-
cause they are compelled to meet stu
ations as they develop-but that Is
emergency work.
For any conservative or continuous
mode of conduct there is almost in
variably some underlying principle or
trait to which their actions may be
traced. Women are not half so casual
as they frequently seem.
From infancy they are taught the
womanly art of self-defense, which IS
very different from the manly method
because boxing gloves and the ballot
can have no part as weapons.
1t must be largely matter OF mental
Observation-Disclosures Do you re-
member the fairy tale-beloved of my
childhood-in which some mortal child
learned the secret that invlsibihty
might be attained by putting a fern
seed in her shoes-and all the fun she
had?
No one will confess a belief in fairy
methods in these days-even the tiniest
children seem natural skeptics; but
some women have learned, apparently,
to put fern ds in their hats that
their mentality may not be too obvious.
This and other means are good for
avoiding difficulties and explanations,
but the motive power of feminine con-
duet may be discovered alwost inVari-
ably by the careful observer.
Affection it is most often-either ma
ternal sisterly. conjugal, patronizing or
Illegal; perhaps it is ENVY, hatred,
malice and all uncharitableness"; may
be jealousy; perhaps kindliness; per-
haps a casting of bread upon The Wa
ters; but whatever 1t be, it is curbed
in a measure generally by a certain
sense of preservation.
How can one account, therefore, for
the actions of those women who have
gone 10y riding" 10y travelling and
gallivanting generally and paid all the
bills-not even a Dutch treat?
1t strikes me as so monstrously un-
feminine when a woman so far forgets
the rules of all the best books on

King George and Horse Racing

possession for some years few brood
mares which have been located at
Lord Marcus Beresford's stud farm at
Newmarket. 1t is probable that these
may now be sent TO the Sandringham
stud.
The death of the king has. of course,
rendered void all the engagements
made in his name for the horses
trtained by Richard Marsh at Newman
ket. 1t is probable that Lord Marcus
Beresford, who has managed the royal
stud for many years, or Marsh, will
be empowered to run some of these in
handicaps or maiden events, the en-
tries for which close a comparatively
short time before their decision. King
Edward not infrequently entered his
horses in this class of events.
1t is likely, however, that there will
be a wedding out from the list OF
horses in training during the year and
that the animals which have failed to
distinguish themselves and show no
prospect of doing so will be sold to
make room for yearlings from San
dringham.
An interesting point is whether King
George will adopt the colors made
famous by his father-purple, gold
braid, scarlet sleeves, black velvet cap
with gold fringe.
King Georges decision to maintain
an active connection with racing is of
enormous Importance to the turf. The
presence of royalty has a great deal
to do with the success of q race meet
ing, and the fact of a king who had
no interest in sport having other en-
gagements on the day of an important
race meeting would keep away a num-
ber of people.

Now that the count of noses is
about complete and San Francisco
has demonstrated that not even a
record breaking calamity like the
fire of 1906 can prevent her from
making great gains in population, 1t is
time to pause and reflect. There are
other gains at least as important as
that of mere numbers, and every good
citizen should ask and answer these
questions: HAS San Francisco taken
full advantage of her, opportunities?
Has my city done her part in the great
struggle to uplift the standard of civic
morals?"
The good citizen must answer those
questions in the negative, and, having
made that answer, it is his duty to re-
double his efforts to make San Fran
cisco what it should be, not only the
greatest, but the best city of the west.
Nature has done all in her power for
San Francisco. No city Is better stu
ated. No city has better climate or
more beautiful surroundings. All that
is necessary is for man to do his part,
and then we of San Francisco shall
have an ideal place of abode.

TANGLED UP

UHE people of New Mexico and Ari-
zona do not find much to encour-
n age them in the slow progress of
the statehood bill in congress. 1t has
passed the house, but not in a form
that suits the senate, and it also must
wait its turn for the conservation
measure, which bids fair to be the oc-
casion Of a long flibuster by its op-
ponents, led by the windy Hepburn
That may put off consideration until a
dangerously late period.
Also, in this case, as in many others,
strict justice is not apt to be done with
SO many old reactionaries in the sem
ate, who think more of party than of
principle and are dreadfully afraid that
the admission of these territories may
add four Democrats to the senate, when
if they had a better perspective they
might with reason be more concerned
lest some of their own acts create
Democrats in other parts of the coun-
try.
Arizona and New Mexico are both on
prosperlty's high road now, and are
growing amazingly. Irrigation is re-
making them. They are already farther
advanced in all that makes successful
modern communities than were several
other Of the present states when admit
ted. They deserve admission by every
consideration, even though the bill is
boosted by Foxy Grandpa Hitchcock Of
Mr.. Taft's cabinet, who thinks he sees
a chance in Arizonas entry to claim a
residence there and get a ticket and a
cushion for a seat in the United States
senate from that commonwealth.

DECLARES "R. NJ" WOULD MAKE
LIES OF SCRlPTURAL TRUTHS

[Editor Herald; r. N. denies that
the race Adam was material and made
spiritual by regeneration; in fact he
denies the existence of matter alto
gether, for he says the man God made
dwells in the bosom of the father
Then in his view there never was man
of flesh and blood, neither visible nor
tangible. Again he says: mo eVil
can exist to the consciousness of God"
Did not God himself forbid Adam to
eat of the fruit of the tree of good and
evil? What teaching is this that
makes God a liar?
If we say we have no sin we deceive
ourselves and the truth is not in us.
Will r. N. deny the word of Jesus
and make him a liar" Or does he deny
the personality of God and pretend to
conceive God as the infinite principle
of goodness without person? If so his
thoughts must be floating in air as
vapor and thus fall back on himself
TO find footing. The word image is
derived from form and image and
likeness mean form and quality. The
affinity of God is manifested by his
spirit proceeding from him as love and
wisdom-love as heat and wisdom. as
light. This is that light that shineth
i'm darkness, i. e., in the material world.

HATS AND PAJAMAS

X UOTING Mr. Roosevelt as saying
to a man in an elevator, Take
~ off that hat" the Chicago Rec
ord Herald raises a question which for
a moot topic is worthy to be taken up
by the famous Lancaster Literary So
ciety of Atchison, Kan, for debate at
its next meeting When should a man
remove his hat? The question has puz-
zled all of us at times. The world still
awaits code.
Is an elevator a room? If so. the
Record Herald thinks perhaps the hat
should come off. Is it merely an ex-
tension of the public corridor? Then
the hat should remain on. Some men
remove their hats in hotel elevators
who do not lift them in the elevators
of business buildings. They seem to
feel that the hotel is a sort of home
while the business block is outdoors
till the office inside is reached.
Men do not remove their hats-not
even Mr.. Roosevelt. probably-on a
railroad train, not even in Pullman
dra wing room car. but they often re-
lliONG lneul III offices WleIt StA COIl-
sciousnass should be absent so far as
possible for if women will enter into
business Competition with men they
should not eXpeet the customary for
NAL Differences; indeed. they are not
possible, or at last feasible in the
hurly-burly ST BUSINESS.
A set CODE therefore, does not seem
attainable in this weighty social prob
lem. What do our women readers
think? Do they look upon the man
who fails to remove his hat on all oc-
casions as lacking in the social refine
ments? If they were men, where
would they draw the line?
Some years ago the readers of the
New York sun carried on long and
profound discussion as TO whether a
man should wear the shirt of his pa
jamas outside or inside the pants"
We believe the debate was finally cut
off without a settlement of the mo-
mentous problem, and to this day men
are divided in their treatment of the
quetsion AS for ourselVes-well, we
hope we shall not provoke so serious
a war of words over the hat as the Sun
did over the pajamas.

A Warning to San Francisco
(san Francisco Bulletin)


commenting on the fever of local en-
thusiasm which ragged throughout the
country during the taking of the CEN
sus made the pertinent remark: "A
city's worth is not to be judged by size
alone" and followed it up with these
words of wisdom:
1T would be better for the social
health of the country If this truth were
more thoroughly realized. Indeed, the
anxiety over the census count is an
indication that the true meaning of
municipal greatness is not yet appreci-
ated by the majority of the people. 1t
might be well for the country if, in
stead of ranking the cities according
to population, the real honor roll were
ranged according to some higher stand
ard, such as cleanliness, good conduct,
literacy and provision for the cure of
evil conditions. The larger the city, as
a rule, the lower its rank in these other
respects, owing to the unfortunate fact
that in the large cities political condi-
tions overwhelm all other factors, and
the municipality becomes a mere agen-
cy for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT and enrich
ment of a few leaders and their follow
ers."

THE WEIGHT OF YEARS

Youth feels it's buoyancy and
is free from care. Old age has
passed it's zenith and is bowed
with the weight of years. The
youths of today will be the old
men of tomorrow and there is
where the rub comes.
Youth is needless of the gold
en- hours until the old age creeps
in all too soon and the harvest
ends to find us empty handed.
Youth is the harvest time of life.
1t is the time of all times when
one should put forth ones best
efforts in the battle. All of life
is a struggle. We hardly get
free from one encounter until
something else appears.
Those who appreciate the
worth of time are never idle.
They find something for the
willing hands and when the
weight of years come creeping
IN they nave fruits OF their
stewardship to prove that the
time has been occupied.
Youth should be taught to feel
that the weight of years is one
of the memorable destinies of
the race. They should be made
to know that the empty life
brings a train of bitter recol-
lections in its wake. They
should be taught to shoulder re-
sponsibilities in their early years
in order that maturity will find
them prepared for the work. OF
course the days of youth should
also be days of playfulness and
happiness but with recreation
there should also be instilled les
sons of responsibility and in
every case where this is done
the weight of years will lose
it's terrors for it will not find
them with nothing to show as
