San Francisco Gets the Prize

As was expecied would be the
case, the Senate has passed the
House bill giving San Francis CO
recognition as the location for the
worlds fair which is to commem-
crate the opening of the Panama
Canal In 1915. AS soon as the
prellminarleS, therefore, are
arranged by the exposition company
at San Ffancisco Secretary Knox
will send out invitations TO the
varlous countries to participate in
the festivities. AS one feature Of
the fair, it is proposed to have
representative of all the aeets of
the assemble at Hampton Roads,
and then sail down the Atlantic,
cross through the canal, and pass
up the Pacific and into The Golden
Gate.
The country believes that San
Francisco will rise lntelligently to
the occasion. A great honor has
been conferred upon her. New
Orleans was in the field as a seeke,
of the exposition earlier than was
San Francisco, and made an
active Campaign fer it. She had
certain physical advantages, too,
which Z counted in her favor.
Among these were nearness to the
population center of the country,
location at the mouth of the coun-
try's greatest river, and the near
ness to the cinal whose completion
the exposition is designed to celc-
brate. BY winning the country:
favor, therefore, in the face of such
odds, San Francisco, has gained q

Protecting the Uniform

Flom time to time the attention
of congress is called to managers OF
various places of public entertain
ment who are charged with showing
disrespect to the United States army
or navy uniforms by refusing ad-
mittance to soldiers and sailors thus
attired. AT last bill has been ap-
proved by both houses making this
show of disrespect an offense against
the government, and the only point
at issue now appears to be the ques
ton of penalty. The house provided
for a fine of 81, 900 and a term in
prison for every conviction, while
The senate cut out the Imprisonment
feature and reduced the fine to
$500. If the bill is finally adopted
IN either form it probably will have
the desired effect.
This action of congress will be
approved by all patriotic citizens.
But it is really only the beginning
OF a movement that should be ex
tended to the uniforms Of the m Ii a
and the flag itself. Receutly bri-
gadier general of the regular army
left a Kansas City hotel in indigna
tion because bell boy was dresse q
in livery that was almost an exac,
duplication of the uniform of an IN
fantry captain. Whether this high
officer was justified in his course
may be matter of argument, but i
is easy to understand he humilia
ton that such discovery woult
cause any man who had devoted the
best years of his life to the service
which the uniform represents anC
about which there are such sacreC
patriotic associations. Of course
the bell boy was not to blame
Neither, perhaps, was the hote
management. 1t has become a com
mon practice to copy the army ant
navy uniforms for all SORTS of livery
The government should enforc,
respect for the uniform and the has
of the country. 1t should be mad,
unlawful for any civilian to wea
any part of the regular uniform ol
anything in duplication or imitation
of it. How can individuals be ex
pected to have a proper respect fol
the uniform if the people as a whole
have none? And above all else the
flag should be held sacred from in.

McCune Drug Store Wall Paper House. Barn Carriage
Reapportionment Bill

HedppOrtlOIllllSii ILL
The Republican house caucus at
Washington regarded membership
of 3or as amply representative OF
the people of the country In 'ne
lower branch of congress and went
on record againt increasing tne
membership. The Democrats ana
their ,nsurgent allies took the view
that the more Offices there were 10
90 round the greater were the OPP
portnnlties of getting places for the
faithful The Democrats were con-
sistent from a partisan political
s,andnoint. since the census shows
large increases in Southern and other
Democratic states, where ten seats
will, he Gained under the bill which
has just passed the house rom
the same partisan viewpoint whi'"
is apparently the animating motives
of insurgents, they are likewise COL"
sistent in supporting the Democrats
for there is large increase IN those
sections where insurgency is speci-
ally strong and an aggregate OF nj :
teen or sixteen seats will be gained
IN insurgent territory, while in New
York Massachusetts, pennsylvania
Rhode Island and Ohio, FOR IN
stance, only fourteen will be gained
and even these states are insurgent
Sin spots" To this taouiauon'
which is only roughly made must
be added the consideration that the
bill saves the Democrats and lnsur-
gents from the loss OF ten or twelve
seats if the present basis OF repre-
sentation remains unchanged.
The issue precipitated thus pre-
sents itself as one of partisan ao-
vantage on the part of the Demo
Gratis and insurgents as opposed to
the Republican attitude of resisting
the needless costly increase In the
governments expenses. The addi-
ton of forty or more congiessmen
means the increase of the running
expenses of the goperament'oy 5000
900 for salaries alone, and this hgure
must be multiplied by -four or hve
before the ultimate permanent IN
crease is correctly measured. For
this extravaganza the people, who
pay the bills, will get not an lota
of added benefit nor will they be de-
prived of a single beneftif the mem
bership of the house should remain
at the present cumbersome number
of 3oI. Even so partisan a states
man as Champ Clark admitted in
the debate that the house would be
"run" by committees as usual and
that the numerical membership was
a matter of little or no Importance.
The Republicans, who opposed
the arbitrary increase of the ex-
penses of government by at least
81, 900, 900 a year, can well go
before the thoughtful people OF the
country Oh such records and not
ali the thoughtful people OF the
United States are confined within
the geographical boundaries com
posing the Dem ocratic and insurgent
sections, and not all the people In
those sections are in favor OF
wasteful extravagance. The nex,
thing on the programme will be the
strenuous assaults by the Democrats
and tn ir allies upon the "extrava
gance" of the SKY first congress

Arizona I empts Fate.

AS was expected, the people of
Arizona have ratified their state
constitution. But this does not
mean that actual state hood for
them is IN sight. In one or two
respects their charter is more fear
fully and wonderfully made even
than was that of Oklahoma. One
OF its vices is the recall, which
proposes to make elective officers,
includiag judges, subject to removal
at the bidding of a majority of the
people. If IS per cent of the
number of votes cast at the latest
election petition for The recall Of a
public officer, including a judge of
any state court, an election for
that post is to be held thirty DAYS
later and the candidate getting the
highest number of votes in ,hat
election, whether the incumbent or
somebody else, shall have the office.
1t was with the hope of aver'ng
such crankery as this that Conglcss,
in the New M, xico- Arizona en-; BIZ
ing acc, put in the proviso VII ch
cites that ''if Congress aud the pre-
sldent approve said con9'i,ution aud
the separate provision 5 thereof, or
If the president approves the sam.
and Congress fails to dsapprove the
same during the next regular session
thereof" then the president shall
certify said fact to the governor of
the territory, who shall "with'n
thirty days after the receipt of said
notification from the president, issue
his proclamation for the election cf
state and county officers" Uuques.
tlonably the re all, which places e
tenure of the judges as we'll as the
other public officers, at the mercy
OF the ca-plices or prejudices of the
mob, will be objected to by the
president and by Congress. In that
event the people of Arizona will
have had their recent work all for
nothing, and they will have to do it
over again, and i'll saner way, if
they are to gain statehood.
The follies are absurdities of the
Oklahoma constitution induced
Congress to insert this warning
clause into the recent enabling acts.
President Roosevelt made it very
plain to the people of Oklahoma in
70 e that he would have voted to do
so. But the act under which Oxla-
homa was permitted to frame s
enaitci ulu not reserve any such
power to president or Congress. AS
a consequence Oklahoma entered
with a constitution which cast dls-
credit upon the new state, and ham
pered it in expansion of populali.n
and trade. New Mexice needed the
warning, and her constitution, which
has jnst reached Washington, Will
probably be accepted by Congress
and president. She will be the for
ty-seventh state, but there may be
no forty-eIghth for two or thee
eais yet.-Globe Democrat.

''1t is a popular belief among theater-

there is here an inherited love of battle:

at the service OF the juster cause or at

it may be that just as there Is no great
