LOBBY GOSSIP
Pinkham's Views Anti japanese

The naming of L. Z. Pinkham as
governor of the Hawaiian islands has
set the democrats of that territory by
the ears" said George II. Lowry of
Honolulu at the Manx yesterday. Mr..
Lowry says that both republicans and
followers of democracy view his ap
pointment with disfavor, mainly be-
cause they claim that he is unfamiliar
with the needs of Hawaii and that his
sentiments are strongly anti-Japanese.
Both factions are hoping. Mr.. Lowry
says, that the senate will refuse to
confirm the appointments.
when Washington dispatches men
toned that Mr.. Pinkham was a can
didate for governor the news was re-
received in Honolulu as a huge joke"
said Mr. Lowry. Democrats there con-
ceded that he had no chance of land
ing the appointment. e. NJ Watson
was considered the most likely man
FOR the place because of his strong
democratic views, his record and pro-
fessional training. Nothing but his
physical disabilities stood in his way.
'One of the factors which works
against Pinkham's acceptance in the
minds of the people of Hawaii is the
fact that at the time he was presi-
dent OF the territorial board of health
he wrote a scathing letter to the Japa-
nese consul which was finally modi-
fled at the request of the then COVER
nor before 1t was transmitted to the
Japanese representative. The episode
caused hard feelings toward Pinkham
by the Japanese of the islands, many
Of whom are men of polish and po-
litical training.
If he should be made governor the
opposition of the Japanese might do
much to hinder his administration. Be-
sides that, Mr.. Pinkham has not lived
in Hawaii for several years and he Is
unfamiliar with its present needs. Re-

agent for the Sugar Planters associa-
tion, recruiting laborers from the Phil

he will not make a good governor"

6 outh American Opportunities

Three months ago 81 members of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce toured South America
with view of Strengthening trade relations. They
have just returned to Boston, and their views, as
expressed through their head, Colonel H L. Kin
cade, of particular interest here.
For San Francisco tie most significant statement
of the Boston man after he got home was:
"We also noted everywhere that the people
are intensely interested in the San Francisco expo
stion of 1915 and planning visit to our prin-
cpal cities incidental to trip to the exposition. >
The foregoing comedies with the statements
made here by Minister Pezet of PERU, who is still
studying California in the interests of his govern
ment
Another important statement was this: "South
America is natural outlet for the products Of the
United States, yet our merchants have permitted
millions of dollars worth of this trade to go to
foreign countries every year and all because they
have not given proper attention to it..
Not only is this true but the people of the United
States have been strangely Indifferent to the vast
opportunities for development that exist in every
country in South America. To the Boston party,
which has just been in Panama, Brazil, Paraguay,
Uruguay Chile, Bolivia and Peru, the cattle wheat
and manufacturing opportunities as well as sugar,
Coffee hides, leather and packing industries were
objects of surprised interest. They found the
national credit of number of the South American
states high, and the countries all thriving and
prosperous
Making all allowance for the natural enthusiasm
of the returned tourists the fact remains that they
were for the most part successful American business
men, who can recognize good business opportunities
when they see them.
It would probably pay San Francisco better
than any other city to emulate Boston's example
and send party of business to study the field
for markets, particularly on the east coast of
South America when the canal opens and above
all, to stimulate interest in the exposition.

h mus an Appendix

iVH In the town of Colebrook n H. more than
200 of the 1000 inhabitants are minus an
appendix, having recently undergone operations for
appendicitis. Operations continue at the rate of
about two week, and dinners and dances are now
arranged either just before or after an operation
to celebrate new addition to the appendxless
colony.
Colebrooks fad is causing neighboring towns
to grow facetious at the expense Of Colebrook' S
good citizens, which is wholly unwarranted Cole
brooks neighbors seem to have forgotten the ac-
cepted adage, When in Rome do as Romans do 2
and if they resided in Coebrook might hurry to
the surgeons table to do just what the good people
OF Coebrook have done.
Custom and style rule the world What would
be said of fashionable young woman OF today
would have happened to woman wearing hobbe
skirt in the sixties?
At the horse show will be seen titled eauines
with their tails bobbed In the dog show pedipreed
bowwows minus the tails and long ears that nature
gave them. Other fancy dogs are trimmed to suit
the owner and conform to the particular sye prey
alent for that sort of dog.
What would have become of Senator PETER OF
Kansas minus his luxurant whskers, or Terry
Simpson seen in public wearing socks? And how
would ]. Ham Lewis appear in print bereft of both
whiskers and mustache2
Let the neighbors of Colebrool deride They
merely show their simplicity. A fad is fad. and
if the Coebrook fad is to become appendices
then if you conclude TO abide in Colebrook first
become minus your appendix.

7 title JOe'S'' Candidate

4 Little joe Sullivan, who was police com
issioner under Mayor Mccarthy and has
been engaged in the sweet scented business of
bs1 bond brokerage, admitted before the police
commission at its meeting on Wednesday that he
was the man responsible for the nomination, by
Mayor Mccarthy, Of D. A. White as chief OF police.
Many other admissions were made at the same
meeting Former Chief Seymour admitted that
he left the police department in perfect condition
when he turned it over to White and he admitted
that he quit because Little Joe's" police commits
sion did not want him to enforce the gambling
laws in Chinatown.
In connection with this admission by Seymour,
Jew Toy and Gu Hoy, two Cinnamon, admitted
that they had been asked to contribute to $1,000
fund to be given TO the man in the big crib alias
Jerome Bassity king of the tenderloin for getting
Seymour out and White in office as chief OF police
when they would be allowed to gamble in China
town. Jerome Bassity, when before the commits
sion, admitted nothing This to have been
expected, Bassity's reputation for not knowing
what he does not want to know is good.
Chief White was almost as good an admitter as
his friend Jerome Bassity The chief admitted
almost nothing He admitted he did not know
why the Waldorf club was allowed to run after it
was known to be gambling club, and he admitted
that he did not know Of the existence of the bunko
ring.
The chief admitted one thing however. which,
if true relieves him from responsibility to very
great extent He admitted that his resignation,
with the date blank, has been in the hands of the
mayor since the time OF his reappointment by
Mayor Rolph
If this is true, the so called investigation OF
the chief which the police commission is CARRYING
on might we'll be adjourned as futile and useless,
for it begins nowhere and gets nowhere.
So long as Mayor Rolph holds Chief Whites

The Poetry That Pays

Alfred Noyes the English poet, who.
alone among the entire poet tribe,
makes a living out of poetry. said at a
dinner in New York:
Il wish it to be distinctly understood
that my poems are not putting me in
the Carnegie or Rockefeller class.
while my poems afford me a COM
petence, I am still hit hard by the story
of Mrs. Blanco-
:" Who is that young man who is pay
ing you such marked attention.? Mrs
Blanco, society leader, asked her
daughter.
Hes poet. mother the young girl
replied.
Gracious. cried the mother And

ously contemplate throwing yourself

The action of Great Britain in the matter of

ated conducted and paid for by the federal gov
ernment for self-explotation purposes the action
Of Great Britain might be pardonable, though not
as rational act
The exposition is to commemorate one of the
greatest events in the physical commercial and
political history of the world. 1t is by no means
either a local or national affair. Quite as much
interest is taken in it by foreign governments as
by our own and much more by some Of the other
American governments. Great Britain should
share in and be worthily interested in such an
event and we hope it will be when it is realized
that the njury-so far any may exist-caused
bv her absence does not fall on Washington and
the federal government but on this section of the
country Great Britain is too great to take such a
petty revenge.

TOLD AND RETOLDl
Different Viewpoints

Lieutenant Governor O'Hara said the
other day in Chicago, apropos of an
employer who paid young women en-
ployes SIS a week and less:
TITS all very well for this man to
say that starvation wages never lead
to vice. He has his viewpoint. his un-
derpaid girls have theirs. And the diff
ference in these viewpoints is startling
It's like the two birds.
The Bird in the Hand, tapping the
Bird in the Bush on the shoulder, said
seductively:
Look here. old chap, it's univer-
sally conceded that my job is worth
twice as much as yours, but I'll change
places with you without asking for a
cent of compensation
And the Bird in the Bush, strange
as 1t may seem, refused this fatter-
ing proposal very positively and hast
ened to ly away.v-New Orleans States.

Oily lin Loses a "Shot"

The clerks at the ST. Francis are tell
ing story, which has gone the rounds,
about a certain distinguished guest of
the hotel, whose name is kept sub rosa.
This gentleman made a habit of keep
ing late hours. Almost any time after
midnight he was to be seen standing
sedately on the big steps facing Pow
ell street, enjoying the early morning
sights and sounds.
He became acquainted with a per-
son known as oily" Jim. Jim drives
a huge oil wagon that supplies the st.
Francis with fuel. Each morning at
/ o'clock he blows his shrill whistle
and the taxicabs standing in front of
the hotel move out of Jims way. Jim
gets rid of his wagon load of oil and
proceeds to the clerks desk to get
his receipt.
The other night the hero of the story
had been dining and wining largely.
He felt fine. He was standing in the
lobby about 2 a. m. expiring to buy
some one drink. Looking about, he
thought he saw in a shabby appearing
man his friend oily" Jim. Our hero
approached and doffed his hat.
Friend, won't you have one little
shot with me in the elegant bar just
few PAGES away" he asked without
much trouble.
Friend would Like brothers they
drink together. Then the shabby one
turned and left his host, who walked
up to the clerks desk and volunteered
the information that oily Jim was
a nice-hic- -schplendid fellow.
THAT wasn't JIM said the clerk.
THAT was the garbage man.

Hetch Hetchy Approved

The unanimous approval by the house OF rep
resentatves public lands committee OF the
Hetch Hetchy water right bill should insure ITS
passage by the house
A significant feature OF the report IS that Repre-
sentative Underwood suggested that San Francisco
must pay the federal government for the use OF the
water and the right of way for aqueduct, and the
committee adopted his suggestion
This would seem to Indicate but not necessarily
so. that the democratic leader and master OF the
house was satisfied with the bill in other respects,
would not oppose it, and probably will permit its
passage as an emergency measure.
1t is not surprising to San Franciscans that the
unanimous report of the committee that an
emergency exists, because we all know it is 50.
Moreover the committee knows that the only
opposition to the measure came from just two
sources-John Muir and his press agency, on behalf
of the beauties OF nature and those interested
either directly or indirectly in the Blue Lakes
scheme.
There never has been any real doubt that San
Francisco needs water or that the Hetch Hetchy
project is the most suitable one. Nor has there
been anv doubt, in the minds of those who know,
that the beauties of the Yosemite park will not be
damaged by the reservoir in the Hetch Hetchy
valley The talk that the Hetch Hetchy valley,
beautiful as it IS is the most beautiful to be seen
is preposterous to any one who has the scores
of other similarly beautiful valleys in which Cali
fornia abounds.
Much will be due to the California congressman
if they succeed in making Hetch Hetchy emerg-
ency measure and they have need of every ounce
of their power to make it so, and to make it into
law

tude should go together is unimagin-
able.
Is not the whistling boy as rare
nowadays as the whiting one? The
world is growing serious. and at an
early age we are cautioned to con-
serve our energies. The efficiency sci
entists might be able to estimate for
our edification the millions Of hours
that have been wasted by careless gen
erations at whistlng or whiting. 1t
may be said for the latter spontaneous
exercise that ii provokes thought. The
germ of many great constructive ac-
complishment has undoubtedly been
whitfield into the mind of the invent
ing genius. So much cannot be said
for whistling, perhaps. What whistling
is more likely to provoke is wrath
in little minds among defenseless
listeners. Is it not sufficiently justi-
fled, nevertheless, if it does the boy
good?-Providence Journal

A Petty Revenge

- The refusal of the government of Great
Britain to take part in the Panama-Paciic
exposition certainly affords a fine evidence of a
spirit OF petty revenge unworthy Of so great a
nation as England.
The reason suggested as the ground for this
decision does not appear to be adequate as motive
for an action which must react in more ways than
one.
The failure Of the American government to
renew the expired arbitration treaty with Great
Britain and the declination to submit the question
of canal tolls to be paid by foreign and American
ships are matters Of diplomatic adjustment be-
tween two nations and can be SO treated and set
tied right.
The British government apparently looks on
the Panama-Pacihc exposition as strictly an enter
prise of the federal government with which it has
diplomatic relations. 1t hardly know the fact.
which is that the exposition has been projected.
financed and managed by The people of this city
and state.

has been given official recognition and status but

to swallow several large quinine cap
sules. she obeyed, but the operation
