The Chronicles Lady Teazle" has
this interesting sketch about a trip to
Honolulu:
Major-Geueral Murray has arrived
to take command of the Western di-
vision of the army, with headquarters
at San Francisco.
He will occupy a home for the win
ter at Fort Mason with Mrs. Murray
who arrived with him a few days ago,
and his two daughters, who are now
in Washington, d. c., where they will
attend their brothers wedding, but
who will reach here in November.
Two years ago, when General Muir
ray was commander-in-chief of the
coast artillery of the United States, he
made tour Of inspection that took
him around the world.
Mrs. Murray and his daughters ac-
companied him,
The party went from New York
through the Mediterranean sea, the
Suez canal and the Indian ocean, and
from Manila through China and japan
to Honolulu
This trip occupied about six months,
and during that time the party did all
of it's travelling on board army trans
ports.
While the transport life was in many
ways delightful to the young girls,
they began to tire of the army routine.
Being the only unmarried women
available, they were made much Of by
the army officers, and they began to
grow a trihe weary of masculine at
tention. They wanted the experience
of travelling on an ocean liner, where
they could have the companionship of
girls of their own age, see children
romping about the decks and get
away from the sound of the omnipres'
ent bugle and the monotonous round
of concerts by regimental bands.
Consequently, when their father in
formed them that the transport sched
ule would make it necessary for them
to take the Siberia from Honolulu to
San Francisco. their delight and en-
thusiasm afforded much amusement to
their friends in the islands.
"Life on a liner" became a byword
with the party. Dr.
But alas for their hopes! The 81.

THE RECALL IN THEORY AND
PRACTICE.

There are three important diver
gences from the Oregon plan in the
proposed California reacll system, two
of which are undoubtedly ill advised
and one of them vicious when measur-
ed by the experience of Oregon with
this radical implement of government.
One is the reduction of percentages,
another is the requirement that the
needless expense of an election shall
be imposed upon the people in the
event the officers resigns, and the
third and vicious one is the require
ment that an officer who may have
gained his Office by a plurality must
have the equivalent of a clear majority
over all other candidates in a pos.
sible recall election in order that he
may retain his position,

ence with the recall in Oregon is sui,
ficient to point out the danger of the
feature of the California plan last cit
led. The voters of the Tenth ward in
Portland recently recalled Councilman
J. T. Ellis. Ellis had accused Port
/ land lawyer of attempting to bride him
and the lawyer in revenge circulated
the petitions which broadly charged
the Councilman with failure properly
to represent his ward. Five others be
sides Ellis were candidates for the
position in the recall election. The
issue was decided not on Ellis record
in the Council but on the personal pc
,pularity and fitness of the various can
didates, He was removed from Office
under the Oregon plan by a plurality
of twenty-five votes. He received 116;
votes, but had he received 1856 h,

lit Wasn't A Liner Trip
To Honolulu After All

IBERIA came through with every cabin
filled. and they were obliged to ship
on an ancient sugar freighter, where
there were no women servants and
the bells were answered by half-naked
cabin boys who we're working their
way to the Coast and who were utterly
lacking in good manners and entirely
ignorant of the details of their work
The Murrays, however, made the
best of the disagreeable situation, and
turned its limitations into a Joke.
The general endeared himself to
every one on board by a bit of in
structive courtesy, which he showed
the freighters captain on his first APP
pearance at dinner in the cabin.
The general reached his place before
the arrival of the captain, but instead
of being seated at once he stood at at.
tention until the ships commanding
officer took his seat. The other pas
sengers, taking their cue from his
standing until the captain was seated
There was no display of ostentation
in the act, but it was a tacit recogni
ton of the authority of the captain
of the vessel that no one less thor
oughly genuine than General Murray
would have thought of showing.
The girls told with great glee of &
joke on themselves on this trip.
One morning, while in their cabir
dressing, they rang for the boy ant
ordered some hot water.
He was so long in coming that they
completed their toilet without it, anC
were about to go on deck when there
came a knock at the door.
"Who is there?' asked one of thu
girls.
They had by that time entirely for

And without deigning a glance il

remark.

would have been retained in office. I'm
der the California plan it would have
been necessary in order to retain his
seat to receive 1922 votes, or more
than twice as many votes as were re-
quired under the Oregon plan
All that would be necessary in the
operation of the proposed California
system in order to remove an officer

would be to bring out two or more
well known candidates against him.

CARELESS Of the justice of the charges
embraced in the petitions.
Governor H. W. Johnson of Califor-
mia was elected by plurality, but fell
1885 votes short of a majority at
the polls in 1910. With the California
lrecaII would not these figures be in
viting to the Southern Pacific politi-
cal machine which we are informed
is now out of power? Why should not
| this faction seek the recall of John
son on grounds of personal tempera-
ment and then raise general issues,
political and other kinds, as was done
by the Public Welfare League in
the case of Mayor Fawcett of Tacoma
It would be necessary for him to win
a majority of votes in California in
order to complete his term.
One of the chief things to be avoid
ed in building a recall system is the
fallacy that recall elections are decid
ed wholly upon the official record OF
the man subjected 90 the recall. Per
sonal popularity of the men who seek
to supplant him, party affiliations and
local pride as rule are far more potent
factors in the result In framing its
constitutional amendment Oregon did
not fully grasp this distinction be
tween the theory of the recall and the
Irecall in actual practice. 1t is learning
rapidly, however, and will sooner OF
later revise its system into one that
will be free from Interior manipula

PRESIDENT TAFT DISCUSSES
THE FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE

President Taft, IN an address at
the New York State Fair, at Syracuse,
spoke of the value received from the
S15,OOO,OOO a year spent on the De
partment of Agriculture, stating that
i'm the continental United States there
are about 900, 100000 acres of land, of
which $40, 100000 are included in the
acreage of farms-which in the past
ten years increased only little over
4 per cent, while in the same time the
population increased 20 per cent-the
President went on to say:
Pressure of Population.
"Now, if our population increases as
rapidly as it has heretofore we shall
in fifty years have upward of 100000
600 of people in this country to sup
port on this S73,OOO,OOO acres, much of
which is probably not capable of pro-
ducing a great deal. There are some
10000 600 acres of swamp land that
can be drained, and there are 25,OOO,-
OOO acres of land that can be irrigat-
ed; but with all these it is perfectly
palpable that within the life of many
who are born now we shall be press
| ing TO the limit of our seif-support
from the soil unless some other
method than the extension of area be
found for the increasing of our crop
production.
"In the next 100 years, if this is to
be a self-sustaining country, we must
adopt new methods of farming and
pursue them with eagerness and in
telligent enterprise There has been
as we know, a movement from the
farm to the city. How can these pres
ent evils that threaten the progress OIL
our agriculture be remedied? How
can the movement from the farm tC
the city be stopped? How can proper
labor be secured upon the farm? 1;
there no remedy, or must we change
our nature as a people and all become
manufacturing nation and look fol
our future supplies to some othel
source in distant countries which
themselves are looking forward to {
limit upon their production?
i Has Hope Of the Future,
81 am an optimist and believe thai
situations, however threatening or i'm
mediately discouraging, have in them
selves elements that justify hope OF
betterment. The increased price o
farm products has increased the value
of the farms and has made more Ger
tain the profit of farming. That nee
essarily works upon the cupidity o
those in the past who have gone int
the city, because it offers a prospec
of better income and a more com
Portable living. Today, with improved
roads,. with suburban railways, will

cry and, hope soon, with the parcels

i proXimate much more nearly that o
