Readers, do not smile In this letter is a strain of the plaintive song that humanity has been singing ever since Adam went out looking for the first job. Eve sang such song, and Ruth, and Lots wife, and Job s wife, and the mother of Moses, and Bathsheba, and Elizabeth, and Martha. All of the billions of women who have kept house on earth have sung this song, and song of poverty and self-denial and makeshift What will keep the wolf from the doOrg What will keep the outgo within the income! What will take the shine off mems trousers! From creation to resurrection, the same old question. Taken as a symbol of universal need, this in- quiry is no more ludicrOus than the sob of an evicted mother, or the vail of her starving baby. Its eight words comprise a complete octave, and all other octaves on the human keyboard are its counterparts. The socialist thunders in heavy bassO, Let me share the wealth that l create. ]" In treble the social climber calls, "How can buy an automobile next summer!" It is the same tune, with variations the world over.
 It would not be so sad tune if the men would sing 1t with the women. But the men won t. Eve must live face to face with 1t from sunrise to sunset, and 1t awaits her the next morning as fresh and as vivid as ever. Adam does all he can for the family and then the task is Eve's She must take whatever he can do and do every  thing with that The woman sees the shine spreading day by day, and, breeding over it, she seizes some rare moment of idleness to write to the editor "What will take the shine off mems trousers!" No man would write such query as that The handwriting in the letter open here on the editors desk is woman's.
 If the editor knew of anything that would take the shine off trousers he would patent it and re tire to enjoy the rich profits arising to him from that new burden on the mOnOply ridden world But there is nothing in the universe that will perform the work desired. As well ask for a recipe for restoring the crimson blush to the faded rose. There is nothing that will take the shine off trousers and it is right that this should be so. After grandmother, through years of toll and care, has earned her beautiful wrinkles, would it be smart or truthful or kind to paint her dear old face with some magic skin prepara- tiOn and give her the looks of girl of twenty? {? We are proud of it's outward signs. This is ab- surd and perverse, and it is absurd and perverse to be ashamed of the shine on pair of trousers If we would only look at things rightly we should see that the more shine on pair of trousers, the more honorable they are.
 When this world $ cares are over we expect to wear shining raiment through the rest of etern ty. Why, then, should we be ashamed of shiny trousers nOw9

Down in Atlanta the other day one automo- bile going one way attempted to dodge another automobile scorcher going another way. The dodge was successful, only the dodger ran into a street ear and killed himself and two friends. This appears to be one of those tragic stories that do not seem to teach anybody anything in particular, however.

STATE SOLID FOR
india BASIN ACT
Reports From Interior Show
Strong Sentiment in Favor
of Bonds

Reports received yesterday from the
interior of the state by the harbor i'm
provement committee told of the strong
support to be given the India basin act.
The people of the coast counties. the
south, the San Joaquin and the. Sacra-
mento valleys have been won to the
measure, not only because of its merits,
but also by reason of the methods of
the opposition. 1t has been stated that
100000 has been expended in an effort
to defeat the act. That the expenditure
has been in vain is indicated by the
solidity Of the sentiment of the state
as Represented by the influential news
papers.
Yesterday the opponents OF the act
beNln whirlwind finish of their cam
paign in this city. Literature mas been
distributed broadcast throughout San
Francisco and wagons bearing signs
advising the electors to vote against
the act have been seen on ali SIDES.
The two principal arguments used
against the measure are:
First-That the water covered area to
be acquired for harbor purposes, under
the terms of the act is needed by San
Francisco for factory sites.
Second-That the ratification of the
India basin act will entail heavy eX-
pense upon the tax payers of California.
It was pointed out by George l.. Cen
ter at the mass meeting held in the Mis-
sion district Sunday that the area to be
acquired for harbor purposes is under
water at all stages of the tide, much of
1T so feet under water. Under this water
is a strata of mud, the depth of which
has never been ascertained- The char
acter of the formation at this point is
such that it will be impossible to secure
foundations for modern factories upon
it.
The second objection brought by the
opponents of the measure is answered
by the wording of the act itself. The
act provides that the principal and in
terest of the bonds to be issued under
1T are to be paid out of the revenues of
the port. In no way can these bonds
ever become burden upon the tax pay
ers of the state.

BUILDERSCHEER
HIRAM JOHNSON
DURINGADDRESS
Republican Nominee Talks to
More Than 200 Exchange
Members
United Railroads Ballot Marked
for Bell Exhibited by
G. @. P. Leader

One of the most enthusiastic reeep-
tions that Hiram W. Johnson has re-
ceived at any plac elm this city during
the present campaign was given him
at the Builders Exchange. where he
addressed an audience of between zoo
and 300 members at 1880 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Johnssn's speech
was, not long, but it was straight from
the shoulder and direct to the issues
involved in today's election, and when
he left the floor of the exchange 1t was
to roar of cheers and applause
Johnson spoke to the exchange mem
bers just an hour after the socialist
candidate for governor had appeared
before them. He was introduced by
President s. H. Kent and all business
on the floor was promptly suspended
while the audience filled chairs and
benches and stood about the big hall
listening to his address. The sentiment
of the builders was manifested by the
warmth of the applause accorded him
and by the number of men VINO
swarmed about Johnson at the close of
his speech to shake his hands and as
sure him of their earnest support
Johnson laid particular stress upon
the constructive reforms promised in
the republican state platform BY
sketching them briefly he showed the
falsity of the charge made by his op-
ponents that his fight is based upon no
constructive issues. At the same time
he reasserted that constructive re-
forms could only result from clean,
honest government and reiterated the
>dominant republican policy of driving
William r. Herrin and the Southern
Pacific company out of the government
and politics Of the state.
BY concrete business examples, John
son brought home the full force of his
argument in behalf of honest, business
like government. As he made his
points his audience interrupted him
time and again with applause, and at
the close of the address he was cheered
repeatedly. In closing his speech he
marked ballots circulated yesterday by
the United Railroads among the en-
ployes of the company. He pointed
out the marking e on the ballot, show
ing a cross after the name Of his op-
ponent and asked:
why is it that the United Railroads
has chosen this ticket for its support
1t is that special interests may thrive
and that government by the people
may be defeated"
Scores of men crowded about John
son at the close of his speech to look
at the ballot which he had shown. 1t
was a final, unanswerabIe argument in
favor of solid vote of the people for
the head of the republican ticket, and
the interest shown in 1t marked ii as
one of the most convincing documents
of the campaign.

SACRAMENTO union
OUT FOR JOHNSON
Newspaper, Heretofore Neutral,
Declares in Editorial
State Needs Him
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

=
SACRAMENTO, Nov. THE Sacra-
mento Union, one of the few influential
papers in the state that has remained
neutral in the governorship contest dur
ing the campaign, has come out square
ly and strongly for Hiram oJhnson. The
Union changed ownership with yester-
days issue.
In the opinion of the Union the ques-
tion of railroad domination of politics
in California can be settled only by the
election of Johnson. In an editrial ap-
peal for Johnson the Union says:
In considering the probable eff
fects to follow the election of Mr..
Bell, and comparing them with
what would follow the election of
Mr.. Johnson, we believe the result
desired by the voters of both par
ties-namely, the removal of rail-
road influence from politics-will
be achieved more emphatically by
the success of Mr.. Johnson than by
that of Mr.. Bell. If 1t is a fact that
the Southern Pacific political agents
favor the election of Bell it is be-
cause they dislike Johnson more.
Calhoun's forces are working hard
for the democratic candidate from
a similar motive. The election of
Mr.. Bell would be hailed therefore
as a victory for Calhoun and the
railroad, and the question of these
influences in our politics would re-
main an undetermined issue in the
minds of many Let us settle this
once and for all by electing OHM
son
