of the most talked about plays of the
present day. Under Southern Skies
which will be seen here Wednesday,
matinee and evening, Oct IL, at the
Grand opera house, is from all that
can be learned about it, one of the
treats of the season and should not
be missed by anyone who enjoys a
first class play presented in first
class manner. This is the sixth sea-
son for this delightful picture Of
Southern life, but so great has been
the demand for it in the east that the
past five seasons have been devoted
entirely to that territory, many Of lac
eastern cities being visited four or
five times. A Halloween party with a
pumpkin dance is something new to
the stage, and Is one of the great at.
fractions Of the play. The costuming
is very pretty and attractive, follow
ing the fashions of the period, and
many beautiful gowns are worn. AS
there are eleven ladies in the cast,
there is variety of feminine f1nery
that is very pleasing, especially to the
ladies in the audience. Under South
ern Skies" is a play of such marked
success and possesses so much re-
fined entertainment and beauty that
none of our theatre goers can afford
to miss it.

The Flint.

Next week the Flints, the worlds
famous hypnotists will be the great
attraction that will be of much inter-
est to everybody. Prof. Flint will de-
liver a short address each evening
upon some phase of hypnotism which
will be nicely illustrated. At an ex-
pense OF both time and money, the
Flints have gathered material which
has made their performances famous
throughout the land. No source which
could possibly furnish anything new
or novel has been left untouched.
Each country on the face of the globe
which knows anything of hypnotism,
has Its latest discoveries represented
in these entertainments. The enter
tainment is composed of an almost
endless variety of things selected
from the everyday walks of life

lures OF high cost for which contracts
have not BEEN awarded, but construc-
tton is made sure by the authority of
the owners and builders, some of whom
are operating on leased land. The COM
paratively new practice for San Fran
cisco of long time leases that run to so
years or even more for term tends to
encourage the erection of improve
ments on leased ground. The princi-
pal manifestation of this tendency to
date has been furnished in hotels and
large apartment houses situated in
convenient neighborhoods not far from
retail centers. Builders of such i'm
provements have a record of large
profits to their credit, according to the
brokers who consummated leases.
Albert Meyer 6 Co. are preparing to
improve holdings in East street, now
generally known as Embarcadero. They
will erect a two story brick structure
to contain stores and lofts in the west
line of Embarcadero, 1SS feet south of
Mission street. The cost as estimated
preliminarily will be $4,000. This will
make another break in the line of un-
slightly shacks that have dishgured the
city front since the fire Of 1906. The
beginning in this line of Improvement
has been made at the junction Of the
southerly lihe of Market street with
Embarcadero, where a two story brick
structure is being rushed forward
toward completion by night and by day.

ilitude of the original. and when fin
ished 1t will be the grandest and most
elaborate floral design ever worked

dener. and will prove one of the most
beautiful of the many attractions in
the park.

comrades, left on the farm, are now out
OF debt, are property owners, have
bank accounts and autos, and are liv-
ing lives of independence. The con-
trast is startling. The farmer wins.
At the present time artisans form a
large proportion of the buyers of irri-
gated farms. The reason is evident-it
is both social and economic.
FARM AS A HOME
The great majority of the settlers
on irrigated farms have In mind the es-
tablishment of permanent homes. The
time has passed since the idea of the
farmer was to make as much money as
possible in a few years.. leave the farm
and move to the city. 1t is now rather
to make an attractive home for him
self and his children as rapidly as pos
sible. With the advent of rural deliv-
cry of mail, telephones electric power
lines, autos and good roads in the agri-
cultural districts, the old order of
things has been changed; the farmer S
life and especially that of his wife, is
no longer one of absolute drudgery,
without the conveniences of modern
civilization.
The underlying causes of the present
great interest in irrigated California
farms are sane. They are based on
sound economic principles. There have
been too few producers of wealth; too
many have been trying to live on the
| products of the few. The great areas
| of land susceptible to irrigation and
Intensive farming have not hitherto
been given a chance to show what they
/ can produce; the farming system has
been wasteful. With the knowledge
now attained progress will be rapid
| Coupled with the intrinsic value of the
| land, based on its productivity. is the
! speculative value, based on the GER
! tain increase Of prices, and we may bt
sure that this movement now just gain
! ing momentum will not stop until lant
values are far in excess of their pres
1 ent figure.

FREE. AND EQUAL

And now another orator out in the West, more eloquent than accurate, states to his audience that ''in tho words of the immortal Jefferson, all men are created free and equal.
 It has been claimed by many students that tho authorship of tLr Declaration of Independence has never been settled. No one desires to take from Thomas Jefferson share ill the writing of that wonderful composition, if he is entitled to it, but we do protest against the mangling of the words, whether from ignorance or for the purpose of lauding Jefferson's liberality of thought. We are sure that he would never have made the above claim, for he would have known that anyone born under the law as we all are, could not be free. The law itself is restraint. If he were speaking in place of the aforesaid orator, he would have undoubtedly used the correct worlds "All men are created equal"
 We have no desire to appear pedantic, but having seen and heard this phrase so often misquoted, and apparently no attention paid to the error, we have thought it would be no harm to mention the matter for the benefit of some who would like to be accurate.

It is said that the American Bankers Association intends to organize in Op- position to the proposed postal savings bank bill. As the bill does not conflict with the larger national and private banking corporations, but is intended to benefit thrifty people who are prevented from placing their savings Tn banking in stitutions by reason of their being SO far away from such c0rvenionceS, it would seem as if the association is talk ing 8 very narrow view of the matter and will simply arouse an antagonism that does not now exist. The postal savings bank has proven it's value in other countries and there is no reason why it should not prove equally success full here.

DIAGNOSIS AND CURE
The biggest plum in the pie"

The committee of the House of Repre- sentatives that is making an inquiry s into the cause or causes of the high cost of living-or, as James J. Hill puts 1t, "the cost of high liying"-are likely to have long and arduous session, and it would not be surprising if the disease is cured before they find out what is the matter with the patient.
 Numerous opinions have been ex- pressed on the subject, by professional economists and laymen, of which we enumerate few. One reason given is because of the large production of gold, which has caused imitation of values others are because of the diversion of too large share of the population from agriculture to other industries; because of the diversion of too much work and money from unproductlye employments. and especially to war preparations of every sort; because of the tariffs; because of the trusts; because of the middlemen, who exact too much for their services; because there are too many people who live without work, i'll an unnecessarily expensive manner, and by the labor of others; and because for several years organized labor has been demanding and receiving increased compensation for reduced hours of labor.
 There are several reasons given be- sides the above, but the causes enumer- ated are sufficient to show the task the committee appointed will have in de- ciding which one or more is responsible, that a remedy may be applied
 It is as if a council of doctors were called to diagnose for patient who was dangerously ill, and one should insist on the heart being the trouble, another the lungs, another the kidneys, and so on, and each one should prescribe for the patient according to his own diagnosis. If the patient took everything prescribed he might recover, i'll which case each doctor might claim that his diagnosis was tho correct one. Bat, ill order to prevent a recurrence of the malady or to know definitely how to handle it in case of another attack. it i5 apparent that q correct diagnosis would be the important factor.
 So we trust the committee will do a their work well, take their time and not make 8 report until they are sure they have discovered the true cause or causes of the trouble. There gro now un doubtedly several reasons for high prices: also, undoubtedly, there is one original cause. Everything has beginning and from this beginning results may spread until 1t would be extremely difficult to determine their origin. One fact was plainly settled in the past week, and that is that the price of meat is not go. ing to be permanently lowered by the meat boycott. Temporary relief has been noticed Ill some quarters, but the result has been obtained, as we pre-, dicted in last weeks NEWS, by compell, ing many retail dealers to go out of business So it is questionable if there has been any real gain.
 / We shall watch for the report of the committee, and hope they will succeed in locating the trouble. If they make a
