qualities than were needed on the from.
tier. There is need at present to en-
courage the development Of new ABILITIES
which can he brought to high PERFECTION
only by kind Of training useless in pio-
neer times; but these new qualities can
only supplement, and never supplant, the
old honely virtues; the need for the
special and distinctive pioneer virtues IL
as great as ever. In other words, as our
civilization grows older and more COM
plex, while it Is true that we need new
forms of trained ability, and need to de-
velop men whose lives are devoted wholly
to the pursuit of special objects, it is yet
also true that we need greater and not
a less development Of the fundamental
frontier virtues. These virtues include
the power of self-help, together with the
power of joining with others for mutual
help, and, what is especially important,
the feeling of comradeship, of social good
fellowship. Any man who had the good
fortune to live among tn old frontier
conditions must, in looking back, realize
how vital was this feeling of general
cornradeship and social fellowship. There
are good men and bad men, in the new
communities just as in the old communi-
ties, and the conditions on the frontier
were such that the qualities Of the good
and bad alike were rather more strikingly
manifested than in older communities.
but among the men who tried to lead
Woodworking, decent lives, there was
feeling OF genuine democracy, which rep
resented an approach to the American
ideal which we certainly should do ev-
erything in our power to preserve. We
did not try to say that men were equal
when they were not equal, but we did
our best to secure something Ike an
equality Of opportunity and an equality OF
reward for good service; and moreover,
each man expected to be received, and,
on the whole, was received wherever he
went, on the footing that his merits war
ranted.
Now so far as possible these qualities
and conditions that bring about these
qualities should be kept in the great
states which are growing out Of the old
frontier communities. We need to strive
for the general social betterment Of the
people as whole, and yet to encourage
individual liberty and set high reward
on individual initiative UP to the point
where they become detrimental to the
general welfare.

ruled that the primary vote cast
for Mr.. Gudger could not, under
the democratic plan of organiza-

The announcement that Mr..

greeted with cheers and there
were calls for he various candi-

first and he announced his inten-

nominee of the convention. He
thanked all who had Loyalty sup

called upon and in a few well
chosen words he expressed his
gratitude to all those who had

years ago, but the fight is now on
to redeem it. We must send a
democrat to congress and to do
this we must all put our shoulders
to the wheel"
w. j. Cooke.
There were loud calls for Mr..
w. j. Cooke and he responded
with a magnificent speech. The
man who had run Mr.. Gudger the
closest race showed no bitterness
of defeat in his speech; on the con-
trary he eloquently avowed his in
tention to fight for the success of
the nominee with all his energy.
Said Mr.. Cooke:
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen:

An offer to pay $4,000 to the estate
Of his fathers friend was the unique
proposition made in Judge Graham's
court yesterday by Herbert Levy. son OF
i. Levy. 1t was accepted.
The estate was that of Sam Bloch,
a butcher of South San Francisco. and
in going over the effects the officials
of the public administrator office
found promissOry note, made out by
J. Levy to Sam Bloch for $4,000. The
matter was taken up with Levy's son.

The note was long since Outlawed and
in court was worth just the paper on
which it was written, and no more.
However. said Herbert, "as far as.
can gather there is no record of the
note being taken up by my father and
presumably il is still unpaid Whether
my father paid any OF the money or
not 1 do not know. or whether there
was anything due him from Bloch /

The eharbor commissioners at their
regular meeting held yesterday morn
ing in the ferry depot, directed Engi-
neer Barker to call for bids for the con-
struction of a spur track in Filbert
street wharf for the use of the Oceanic
steamship company.
This track will give direct connection
with the belt railroad and its installa-
tion will greatly simplify the problem
of handling freight. Engineer Barker
was also directed to complete as far as
Lombard street, the construction of the
sidewalk in the east side of East street.
William Duggan, the taxicab owner,
against whom Captain Mcleod pre-
ferred the charge of having extorted
$500 for $3.50 fare, was before the
board to explain. In addition to the
Mcleod complaint was one by c. Ken
drick. who says that Duggan over
charged him s1.25 on July 25. The police
at the harbor station assisted Duggan's
chauffeur to collect the alleged over
charge from Captain Mcleod and Dug
gan's cause was championed before the
commissioners yesterday by two of the
finest"
Police Sergeantsr eefe and German
assured the commissioners that Dug
gan's charge of $500 for less than an
hours ride in a taxicab that had been
hired by the hour at $3.50 an hour, was
the height of moderation.
Duggan placed the blame for the
other alleged overchange on the regis
ter in his taxieab. which is trained to
ring up 81 the moment the passenger
takes his seat. The matter was laid
over for further consideration.

OPINIONS DIFFER
ABOUTPLAYGROUND
New Site in Clay Street Occa-
sion for Dispute as to
Fitting Up

There is some difference of opinion
among the residents in the vicinity of
the new playground site in Clay street
near Walnut as to how the grounds
should be laid out.
Some time ago committee appeared
before the Fairgrounds commission
with the suggestion that it be not fitted
up for children as other grounds have
been, but that it be set out with grass,
trees and benches for the use of the
nursegirls of that section.
At the meeting of the commission
yesterday there was presented petit
ton from residents asking that a
handball court be established at the
rear of the grounds for the benefit of
the children. The commission having
accepted the grounds as a place where
children may play. instructed Super
intendent Williamson TO grade the
grounds and then took into consider
alton suggestions offered by him as ITO
what should be placed on them. These
include two tennis courts. sand boxes,
a handball court and swings.
IDLE GROUND CONSIDERED
Frederick Churchill. secretary of the
Mission Improvement club drew the
attention of the commission to the fact
that half block of land in the rear
of the Mission high school, which was
purchased with a view to erecting a
technical school upon it. is lying idle
and in bad shape for the reason that
the contemplated improvement can not
be made because the board of educa-
ton has not the funds at this time.
He suggested that the site is desir-
able one for a children's playground
and that II could be put in condition
for such a purpose at cost of about
$500 He said that he had been in
formed that there would not be any
objection TO that course. as the ground
could, during the day, be used by the
pupils of the school
The president requested Commits
sioners Astredo and Bannerman to
make an investigation and report al
the next meeting.
The same commissioners were in
structed to look into a proposition sug-
gested by the board of education There
is a piece of land in Jefferson avenue
adjacent to the Bernal school which
the board of education wants as a
school yard and can purchase for So, 600
but not having funds available wishes
the commission to rent the land until
the end of the next fiscal year, and
obtain an option to purchase it in July
1911, at which time the board will
relieve the commission of all respon-
sibility. In consideration. the commits
sion is TO have the Use of the site for
