A GOOD INVESTMENT

The state board Of control has
made preliminary announcement of
the first investment of state money
in irrigation bonds.
The first purchase is to be 1900
block of South San Joaquin district
5 per cents. 1t will be made under
the new general irrigation act passed
by the last legislature, which became
effective week ago.
The law provides for the invest
ment of state money in irrigation dis
trict bonds under conditions not un-
like those governing the deposit of
public funds in banks.
In effect it puts the state behind
the irrigation projects and insures
their success, at the same time amply
safeguarding the state.
Irrigation is the biggest problem
involved in the development of Cali
fornia. The railroad commission has
frankly admitted that by taking a
strong hand in the control and man
agement of private irrigating corpora
tons
The irrigating problem presented
by the great interior valleys is too
big and too vital to be handled by
private corporations. Seemingly its
solution is to be found in the public
district system.
Thanks to unsatisfactory laws and
the lack of responsible supervision,
the securities of irrigation districts
have not found ready markets.
For state investment under proper
supervision they offer a most desir-
able field, since they represent form
of double income for the state
The new law provides means by
which the state can invest its money
at per cent or more in schemes to
increase its tax revenues and the rev.
enues of the several counties.

FOR THE MAN WHO MUST
WALK

The beach board walk project be-
speaks the interest and the support OF
every San Franciscan.
In the Great Highway, inclusive OF
the upper drive, San Francisco has a
scenic attraction unlike anything en-
joyed by any city in the world.
The extension of the upper drive,
which will be completed probably be-
fore the late autumn, will make the
beach a veritable mecca for automo-
bilists and equestrians.
The people of San Francisco own
more automobiles than any like NUM-
Der of people in the world. Of that
fact the people who must needs walk
are as proud as are the motorists.
Nevertheless the walking man and
woman are in the majority. Prob
ably they always will be in the ma
jority. They care no less for the
beautiful in life than their more for
tunate brothers and sisters born to
ride through their span of years.
They have larger rights in the dis
tribution of governmental attention
because there are more of them.
The man who walks must take to
the strand, imperil his life and limb
in the automobile and carriage crush
on the upper drive or forego the
pleasures of the most picturesque
urban beach IN America.
That is not right 1t is not good
business. It has been estimated that
the proposed walk would involve an
expense of approximately $4,000.
Probably a scryiceable walk could
be built for that sum 1t would be
money we'll spent if a walk skirting
the upper drive were constructed at
twice or thrice the estimated expense.
Thousands of San Franciscans
avoid the beach on Sundays and holi-
days rather than accept the alterna-
tives of trudging in the sands or dodg-
ing automobiles. They go down the
peninsula or across the bay for their
outdoor recreation.
Give them the proposed board walk
and their nickeis deposited in the fare
boxes of the municipal cars will soon
pay for it.

INDoRsE AN HONEST JUDGE

The Fresno County Bar association
has indorsed Judge George Church of
Fresno for appointment to the dis
trict court of appeal, vice the late
Justice Hall A formal request for
the promotion of Judge Church has
been prepared for submission to Gov
ernor Johnson.
Whatever the political effect of
their petition may be, the indorse-
ment of Judge Church by the men
who have practiced in his court for
years is compliment we'll deserved.
Judge Church is a democrat. He
practices democracy off the bench. In
court he is judge SO thoroughly is
that appreciated by the people of re-
publican Fresno county that they
have repeatedly returned him to their
superior bench
1t is no part of The Calls business
to recommend men for appointment
to the bench or any other place by
the governor of this state.
The Call is prepared and content to
believe that Governor Johnson will
find competent and proper person
in his own party to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Justice Hall.
Nevertheless it shares with the law
yers of Fresno county the belief that
Judge Church is admirably fitted by
temperament, training and character
for the highest judicial honors in the
gift of the people or the governor.

1t is absurd for the occident to sneer
at the orient; but on the other hand it
is not in the least necessary for any
rational westerner to disparage the
philosophy, the research and the ideal
ism of his civilization.
Professor Bergson, as head of the In
ternational Psychical Research society,
recently delivered an address in which
he satirically reviewed the great prog
ress of the west in science industry,
applied art, etc, and wondered what
would have happened If it had as as
siduously devoted itself to research in
realms of the spirit--to metaphysics,
philosophy, theology and the investiga
tion of the relations between this world
and the one beyond the grave. Pro-
fessor Bergson praised the east for
negelecting matter and contemplating
mind and spirit.
It Is news. indeed, that the west has
been too busy in material spheres to
attend to the needs and possessions Of
the spirit From Socrates and Plato

Thousands of volumes are published
annually in the west on metaphysical,

than the occident in solving the prob
lens of life, death and human destiny,

Fowler's New Wells

Fowlers two new wells to supply
the municipal water system have
shown a capacity that will insure an
adequate supply for all purposes for
some years to come. When the new
system is in operation an ordinance
should be passed regulating the hours
when water may be used for irrigation.
We have noticed several instances
where water has been allowed to run
on lawns all night. Lack of regulation
of these matters and laxity in enforc-
ing them when in effect will result In
prove disastrous IL a fire should break

BOOK REVIEWS
ANGLo-sAxoNs' RELIGIOUS LIFE

The religious belief of our fore
fathers is of great interest to us in
that it gives closer understanding
with the past and present. Advance
ment must necessarily be closely allied
to religion. and Mr.. Knox in The Re-
ligious Life of the Anglo-Saxon Race
shows how English speaking people
have been made powerful and success
full largely through their religious life.
The Saxon has never been under re-
straint. His free spirit has made free
churches. Mr.. Knox says that 'sthe
Celtic missionaries brought to the
Anglo-Saxon larger and better knowl-
edge of industries, setting at work
higher social and economic conditions
Jof their converts. The monasteries
were the places of agricultural in
dustry and seats OF learning, and they
possessed about all the literature and
literary spirit of the times The book
has some discrepancies, which seem due
to typographical errors rather than lack
OF knowledge. It is very clear, the
style is direct and simple, and the
subject matter lends itself easily to
outlining. The colonization of AUS
tralia in the nineteenth century brings
the history to a close. (Sherman,

THE SOCIAL EVIL PROBLEM

DR. ]. Ennis Mears, a reputable ply
sician of Philadelphia, contributes to
the Medical Record, high class pro-
fessional periodical, an extended re-
view of the social evil problem, which
is one of the most important eontri-
buttons to the subject that has been
developed in the course of the study
of the causes of prostitution, which is
now SO general throughout the United
States.
Doctor Mears approaches the sub
ject in dignifed, temperate manner
typical of a cool headed professional
q man, without hysteria or zealotry. He
holds that commercialized vice has be-
? come g1aring part of our political
system in our large cities and has de-
veloped an association with the police
departments of the cities which makes
them protectors of the most debased
forms of vice.
He holds that the principal of the
avenues leading into the life are indo-
1ence, love of excitement and hostility
to restraint and that all other causes
are secondary.
Doctor Mears has remedy for the
evil, not for its extinction, perhaps,
but for its minimizing. The subject
IS so important and the urgency of a
satisfactory remedy SO pressing that
. the full details of Doctor Mears' rem
edy are entitled to consideration. He
says:
THAT prostitution is hostile to the
best interests of the community is a
self-evident fact, and it calls for re-
straint by the law, which should be
applied in humane and rational man
ner. This would seem to be best ac-
complished through a commission au-
therized and appointed preferably by
the state. The constitution of this
commission is of paramount impor-
tance. In the number of its members
there should be sufficient to include
both men and women of experience
and judgment, of well balanced men
tality, called from different occupa-
tions and professions of life-the man
of business, the banker, the jurist, the
lawyer, the physician, the experienced
Journalist in constant touch with the
current events of the world, members
of the ministry and at least two
women trained in social work, who
should be able to consider the ques-
tions involved uninhuenced by the
emotions and with the unbiased judg-
rnent which good common sense con-
fcrs. To commission SO appointed
and constituted may be safely in
trusted the formulation of such plans
of care and control of the unfortunate
class of social outcasts as will con-
tribute to their betterment and to the
protection of the community Through
this commission the blackmailing po-
liceman and the grating politician
will be eliminated With the powerful
assistance of the national government
the white slave traffic will be de-
stroyed Already in this direction a
good beginning has been made and
the social and moral education of the
people, beginning with the child in the
home, where the true mother teaches
both by preeept and example, will con-
tribute TO the closing in large degree
of the avenues leading to the life Of
prostitution. The commercial value
of the brothel will be SO minimized by
