hackers seem to be waiting In the
hope Of getting better odds.
Il don't think the anti-betting law
has anything to do with the general
slackness of betting interest In this
election, for the gambling instinct
can never be controlled by law. OF
course. in the financial district among
men who deal in stocks the system OF
avoiding betting by al exchange oi
promissory notes is largely practiced.
and owing to this fact 1t is almost i'm
possible to learn how much money
will actually change hands on the
election. BY the promissory note
method the parties figure out how
much by the odds agreed upon each
would be entitled to after the election
and make the notes read accordingly.

THE ABUSED REcAnn.

The reply Of Governor OF
California when he was informed tna'
a petition was being circulated
against him for an election on his re-
call is provocative of reflection 1t
was, as reported in the dispatches:
1 have known for some time
that Pat Calhoun and John d.
Spreckels and the clique they rep
resent were to circulate a petit
ton. Before leaving Sacramento
I was told they were Offering IS
a name for signers.
We do not undertake to aftirm
Governor Johnson's theory Of the
forces behind this movement for his
recall. Neither do we assume to de-
ny it. We simply do not know any,
thing about the motives that inspire
1t. But what is important is that
here we have from an eminent off,
cial a direct assertion that he is be-
ing pursued and harassed with a re-
call movement by capitalists with
selfish motives and that signatures to
the recall petition r being purchas-
ed.
Entirely apart from the question OF
proof of this particular assertion. the
salient fact is that the method makes
that method of attack entirely possi-
BILE. The recall Is advocated on the
assumption that it will be used only
against bad men in office. But the
fact that it can be used with equal. or
perhaps even greater. facility to ha-
rass and paralyze good men has been
--ak 800. a.. <hoco oAtnYnnE before.
It is an unexpected corroboration to
have an illustration alleged by al I'M
doubted believer in the doctrine.
A good man in a prominent ofhce
will, Of course, be forced to antagon-
ize the political machines. He will
in all probability earn the enmity of
powerful corporations. These ele-
ments can command from their or
CARNATIONS the necessary force to cir
culate recall petitions. and In most
cases to supply the necessary sigma
lures. If they cannot get enough
signatures within their organizations
*hey have the money to do what Gov
,arnor johnson says they are doing In
California-pay for the signatures.
Even if they cannot carry the recall
electlon they can Keep d 6ooo AA
in office so busy in fighting recalls
tina he will be unable to accomplish
anything else.
There is no safer rule in this re-
spect than the old one. Let the peo-
pie elect good men. and give the lat
ter a chance to prove themselves for
their entire term. If they elect bad
men, let them bear the penalty. There
is a great truth in what Henry I.
tsourley used to declare in his public
speeches twenty years ago: "The
people will get the kind of govern
.nent they deserve"

MOVIES
No Place too Remote for the
Film Show to Go.


In a recent number of the Daily
Consular Reports are collected memo
randa from cities and towns in va
rious distant parts of the world show
ing n universal quality Of the popu-
lar interest which the moving pictures
excite. England, Japan, Turkey, Mex
tco' India. Australia and the islands of
the sea all have the same story to tell;
wherever the cinematograph goes II
finds an instant and sustained wei
come.
Vice Consul Rice K. Evans reports
from Sheffield that this manufacturing
city reports seventeen cinematograph
theaters. whose gross receipts are
about $1,000 per week. Their expens-
es per week for films are estimated al
about $1,460. The films are bought
from the makersb y flm-renting estab-
Eshments which offer them at auction
to the various theaters for rental by
the week. The price fetched by a de-.
sirable film for its first exhibition av-
erages about 20 per cent more than the
same film will bring for its second run.
and proportionately less as time goes
on. The seventh rental, for instance,
only brings about half the price of the
1rst. The average life Of a film Is
from five to six weeks running; after
that they d~eteriOrate, though they are
often run for many weeks longer. The
film which goes out six times nets the
middleman. the film-renting company,
from 100 to $50 per cent. Though
many films are made in England. very
few Of them are used in this big Eng
lish city-only 6 or Z per cent Of the
whole. The French films are 10 per
cent. the Italian Is per cent. and more
than so per cent of the films used are
American. The assigned reason for
this Is that the subjects are better
adapted. to the general taste. though
the photography is no better. The
Italian films are advancing in popular
ity. but the British films are improv-
ing in every respect: evidently the
manufacturers are not willing to let
their market be taken away from them
80 completely.
Deputy Consul Eldrige reports that
in Japan there are eighty-three NOV
ing picture halls. half Of them owned
by a French firm. Besides these.
there are numerous travelling COM
panies. About 10000 900 feet Of films
are imported into Japan each year, by
