BEACH BAND CONCERTS

The municipal band played at the
beach last Sunday. 1t provided con-
cert fully up to the high standard OF
musical excellence which has been
characteristic of all its performances
The concert was given upon an i'm
provised bandstand on the west side
of the Great Highway at a point
nearly opposite the municipal road
terminal
From the foot of the Cliff house
hill down TO the life saving station lhe
Great Highway was fanked with two
solid lines of automobiles drawn up
to face into the road
A squad of mounted policemen
worked like beavers to control the
double line of automobiles moving up
and down the drive because there
were no places for them in the flank
ing lines on either side of the road.
From the Seal Rock house to the
children's playground the beach was
one great playground. Thousands OF
men, women and children sported in
the sands and the surf.
How many thousand persons were
at the beach last Sunday is a matter
of no particular moment. There were
several times as many as on the pre-
Seding Sunday. The day was no

A GREAT PUBLIC SERVANT

BY the death of State Controller
A. B. Nye California loses an extraor-
dinary public servant.
No man ever served California bet
ter. No man ever served this state
with so little thought of self.
Mr.. Nye entered the official service
of the people of California in 1908 as
private secretary to former Governor
George c. Pardee.
Prior to that appointment he had
served the people earnestly and Wig
orously for many years as the editor
of the Oakland Enquirer.
In November, 1906, Mr.. Nye was
appointed state controller, vice E. P.
Colgan, deceased. He was reappointed
in january, 1907, in the closing hours
of Governor Pardee's administration,
The validity of his appointment was
sustained by the supreme court No
more grateful administrative results
have ever flowed from any decision of
that court.
Mr.. Nye brought trained intellect
and indoniitable energy to the task
of mastering the intricacies of the
states business
AS editor and secretary TO Governor
Pardee Mr. Nye had been fighting
partisan. As controller he sunk par
tisanship in the service of the public.
Four years later he was the only
candidate for state Office on both the
republican and democratic tickets.
His health broken, he refused to
take the rest he and his friends knew
meant the prolongation of his life
And finally, as Governor Johnson has
SO fee1ingly said, he became martyr
to duty.
No man ever gave more unselhshly
of himself to the people of this state.
No man has ever enjoyed larger
measure of the public's confidence and
respect than Alfred Bourne Nye.

mo MATE FOUND
| FOR NATURE NAN
Discouraged, Ernest Darling
Tries to Get Passage to
Papecte, but Fails

Ernest Darling, sthe nature man..
appears to have given up his quest for
an undraped mate. He tried yesterday
to secure passage back to his south
sea island home on the liner Tahiti.
The ship went without him. but Oar
ling gave Captain Evans and his Off
GERS a lot of worry as last token or
remem brance.
Darling appeared on board about an
hour before sailing time and appealed
to the chief steward for chance to
work his passage to Papeete. He was
willing to peel potatoes, wash dishes
or contribute anything in the way of
services in return for transportation.
When the chief steward said No,
Darling appealed to the chief engineer
for a job in the stoke hold. The engi-
neer was of the same mind as the chief
steward, and Captain Evans almost
screamed his refusal when Darling ap-
pealed to him.
.'All right" he told the skipper; I'm
going, anyway
Saying which the nature man ran
along the deck and disappeared.
All hands not otherwise engaged
were ordered to search the ship. The
search was thorough, but when sailing
time arrived 1t was reported that the
stowaway could not be found,
Reluctantly Captain Evans obeyed
the order to pull outs He disliked the
idea of being bested by landlubber
who wore hardly any clothes, and who
was. to boot "a blooming American.
The lines we're cast off and as the
ship began to move Darling walked
through the pier shed gate for the pur-
pose OF waving a last goodby. He had
left the ship upon receiving the skip
per's ultimatum, and II Captain Evans
had made inquiries from the man at
the gangway the search would not
have been necessary.

FORGET GRANTS RECALL

Every few weeks the public is in
formed that the movement for the
recall of State Senator Grant has been
revived and is to be prosecuted with
Yigor.
It were better for San Francisco il
there were no more such announce
ments-if the proposed recall OF
Grant could be forgotten.
1t is admitted that the moving
cause for the proposed recall of Grant
is to be found in his activities in COM
nection with the enactment of the SO
called red light abatement bill.
The operation of the red light
abatement law has been postponed by
referendum petition. All the qualified
electors of the state will have an op-
portunity to pass upon the policy OF
that law at the next general election,
Meanwhile it can do this town no
harm to forget the law and to enjoy
some respite from the nastiness with
which private and public discussion
has reeked incident to the considera-
ton and enactment of the bill.
The election of Grant has reflected
small credit upon San Francisco. His
recall would reflect even less. Had
Grant not been elected to the legis-
lature the children of San Francisco
might have been spared newspaper
clinic upon the life of the underworld
conducted in the name of one of its
postgraduate practitioners.
An attempt to recall Grant inevl-
tably must result in more stirring oi
the stencil of commercialized vice. II
is difficult to believe that a decent
man could be induced to accept a
recall nomination in opposition to
Grant
Almost every decent man has wife
or mother, sister or children. The
man who opposes Grant can not cs-
cape the charge that he is the candi-
date of the vice masters, the prosti-
tutes and the dive keepers. The man
who cares for his good name, for the
happiness of his family, will be slow
to accept the consequences of such a
candidacy.
A recall agitation can only serve
further TO besmirch the good name OF
San Francisco and to lend importance
to a man who is not responsible for
the enactment of the red light law
and who will be speedily forgotten il
left alone.

HONDURAS FIRST 4
TO START PAVILION
Ground Broken at Exposition
Site Yesterday by Central
American Republic

Honduras won the distinction of be-
ing the first foreign country actually
to begin work on its national build
ing for the exposition by breaking
ground yesterday for the construction
of the pavilion to be erected by the
Central American republic.
Consul General Fernando Somoza VI
vas, who has also been appointed COM
missioner for the exposition, turned
the first shovelfu1 of earth in the pres
ence of DR.. Juan Padilla, consul gen
eral Of Guatemala, attaches of both
consulates and of the exposition.
President Francisco Bertrand OF
HONDURAS has been most active in hav-
ing all the preliminaries arranged, and
the exposition commission in Hondu-
ras is already at work gathering it's
exhibits for the coming fair, which
will show the agricultural and min
erai wealth of that country.
Mark M. I.eichtsr, who has been
granted the official souvenir pen con-
cession at the exposition, returned
from the east yesterday and declares
that 10 per cent of the employees of
one of the leading Industries in Roch
ester are saving to visit the exposi-
tion in 1916.
This factory which will manufacture
the souvenir pen employs 500 people.

END THE AGONY

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, in ep.
posing the wish of Senator Simmon.
of North Carolina to shorten thu
tariff debate, said at is useless tc
expect us to fix day at this time tc
take vote upon the pending tariff
BILL, and solemnly declared that the
wool schedule, the cotton schedule
the income tax and the administrative
features all ought to be considered
In reply Senator Simmons held that
| it Is impossible that we should &c
from highly protective system to 4
moderate revenue system without
bringing about some slight disturb
ance in the business of the country
while the process is going on and
when it is not known exactly when
old rates will be displaced by the new
ones.
Senator Simmons further said that
his understanding is that the bust
ness interests of the country, recog-
nizing that this bill will become law,
are ready to accept the reductions and
are exceedingly soiicitous in the inter
est of certainty that it shall be acted
upon as speedily as possible. The
public welfare demands that there
should be no unnecessary delay"
AS between the views of Senator
Lodge and Senator Simmons there is
no doubt where the public stands. It's
attitude is that of man who knows
he is going to be bumped-he doesn't
know how hard he will be bumped,
but he does know that he wants ii
done and over with, so that he can
heal his bruises, if he gets any, as
soon as possible.
Senator Lodge is behind the times
in his view of the disposal of the
tariff bill. The country neither needs
nor wants a rehash of the old familiar
arguments for and against the tariff
schedules. The arguments over sched-
uie K, which broke the back of the
republican party, are too fresh in mind
to need repetition.
The public has its own mind made
up on the present tariff bill and it
needs no prolonged argument in the
federal senate to clear its ,comprehen-
sion. The people believe that the new
Wilson tariff bill will either help or
hurt them. They do not know which
Neither does President Wilson nor
Senator Lodge.
The people do know that they do
not want their agony of doubt pro-
longed by senatorial speeches, which
no one hears, which few read, and to
which, in this instance, every one is
Indifferent. The senate ought to get
to vote by September /, if possible

finer. The people did not 60 to the
beach to listen to the arguments Of
either the proponents or the oppo-
nents of the municipal road extension
bonds.
The majority of them went because
band concert had been advertised
because there was suggestion of a
gala attraction.
Hundreds of those who were at the
beach last Sunday would have been
down the peninsula or across the bay
had it not been for the band concert.
The money they would have spent
out of town was spent in San Fran
cisco.
A few weeks ago the supervisors
were seemingly deeply interested in
ways and means for providing band
stand and regular weekly concerts at
the beach
They could do nothing that would
add more to the receipts of the mu-
nicipal road incidentally, the United
Railroads would probably reap even
bigger profits than the municipal road.
1t is the city's business to provide
for the entertainment of its people
If for any reason it is unable to make
such provision now, it would pay the
United Railroads and the business
men along the Great Highway to pool
their interests and insure the pres
ence of crowds as large as that OF
last Sunday on every fair Sunday.

now an issue. and we will fight 1t out
on these lines until 1t is settled"
AS member of the Portola commit

cause of the money that will be brought
to San Francisco for the fete the holi-
day season will be a record breaker for
prosperity. The Portola is a good busi-
ness investment, he said.

MUST LOVE THE LITTLE FOLK
Otherwise the Girl Who Adopts Pro-
fession Of Children's Nurse
Will Not Succeed.

The great essention for any girl
adopting the profession of childrens S
nurse is that she must have a great
love for the wee folk. to be able to
enter into their feelings, to sympa-
thize with their sorrows and joys. A
child's nurse must not be a cynic.
She must know the Importance of lit
tie things to children, must know
that the molehills of grown-ups are
the mountains of boys and girls Now
adays the children's nurse must be
comrade and companion as well as
mentor to her young charges, but the
latter role must never be over-empha-
sized.
1t is well, too, for any girl desiring
to become a nurse of this kind to 90
somewhere and obtain the proper
training for the position. 1t is a big
advantage when seeking employment.
Briefly, the nurse of children must
be able to superintend the children's
health, their good, their clothes and
their lessons-not at all onerous du-
ties to the girl who is fond Of chill
dren.-Fxchange.
