OUR OLD-FASHIONED GOVERNOR
\u25a0
THE Xew York Sun grows sarcastic at the expense of modern
legislative tendencies, as illustrated by the patronage grab at
Sacramento, and remarks that Governor Gillett's remonstrance
against this scandalous abuse of power was strangely out of
date. We quote:
That California should have such a dryasdust executive as this is pitiable.
There is no hope for him even in the fact that he proposes a constitutional
amendment to hold legislative appropriations down to a fixed and legal
amount "at each session." At first blush this would seem a favorable sign,
, but while it is true that there is a good deal of modern clamor for consti
tutional amendments of one sort or another the number of the clamorous
is small compared with those who do not regard constitutions as worth the
trouble of amending. \u25a0 '. # ,
Anyway, Governor Gillett could never get up any interest in a con
stitutional amendment to limit the expenditures of government. Legislatures
exist by and for expenditures. The only legislators who can be sure of
holding their jobs are those who can devise the most and newest ways
to spend the public funds and then get the biggest slice for their con
stituents when the appropriations are made.
These half-truths are amusing enough in their way, but we
. have evidence sufficient that the bitter blast of criticism has pene
trated the most indurated of legislative hides. An old-fashioned
Governor is good enough fpr u§.
"A MILESTONE IN HISTORY"
rTIHE people of Oregon have found a way to elect United." States
I Senators by popular vote. That way is the direct primary,
_!_ and the result is the unanimous ratification by the Legislature
of the popular vote for Bourne and Mulkey. The Portland
Oregonian of recent date calls that ratification "a milestone in* his
tory," and goes on to add:
In this matter Oregon has shown a genius for practical achievement
which other States seem in some cases to lack. How to bring about popular
election of Senators with the Senate itself opposed to the project has seemed
to many statesmen an insoluble puzzle. Oregon found little difficulty in its
solution, though we have cut rather, than untied the knot This achievement
is of fundamental importance, and the people of Oregon are willing to be
lieve that in accomplishing it they have received loyal and substantial sup
port from Mr. Jonathan Bourne. His ambition to become a United States
Senator is of long standing. He has finally attained it by encouraging and
assisting the people of Oregon to break up the political rings which have
dominated the State, not always to its advantage, and to take both political
power and much of the machinery of government directly under their own
control. Mr. Bourne has succeeded in making the people of Oregon believe
that he is the unwavering friend of the direct primary, the referendum and
the popular election of. Senators. It was because of this widely accredited
devotion to a great principle that Mr. Bourne received his large majority of
ihe popular vote last June.
It is an example that California and Californians will do well to
imitate. The result in Oregon establishes a precedent and shows
that Legislatures may be relied on to obey a popular mandate ex
pressed at the polls. Many members of the Oregon Legislature
were under no sort of pledge to vote for the choice of the pri
maries. These were chiefly the hold-over State Senators, but, al
though unpledged, they made no objection to fulfilling the popu
lar will.
INDEPENDENTS KEEP OUT
THE ' Guggenheims, having taken the State of Colorado into
camp, are now preparing to annex Alaska so far as its mineral
output is concerned. They have begun by buying up most of
the land available for gold dredging and are now* moving on
the immense copper and coal deposits of the Copper River country.
This region comprises : ,' :
The Copper Valley, running 300 miles north and south and 200 east
and west; the Chitina copper belt, which stretches fifty miles from east to
' west, with a breadth of ten to twenty miles; the Catalla coal fields,' twenty
miles square; the petroleum belt, which skirts the coast from Catalla east
" ward to Yantat for a distance of thirty miles and breadth' of from, five
to ten miles, and the Matamiski deposit. In the Matamiski district is Z the
only known occurrence on the Pacific Coast of anthracite deposits, and; the
cqal is declared to be as good as the product of the anthracite fields )[ of
Pennsylvania.
Of course, the development and exploitation of this great region
would be a good thing for the country, but not by the methods of
N^he smelter trust. In brief, the Guggenheims have set their seal on
this immense territory and will allow no intruders. If independent
mining enterprises are projected they are notified that the smelter
trust will hold a monopoly of transportation, and they will very
readily, understand^ what that means. The White Pass Railroad
people proposed to build a railroad into the Copper River valley,
but they were at once threatened that if they did anything of the sort
the smelter trust would parallel their road to the -Yukon * and drive
them into insolvency. The White Pass people understood the situa-'
ition and abandoned their project. The Guggenheims will build a
railroad into the Copper River valleywhen they get ready, and the
independent miner had better keep out
THE RUEF CATERANS -
fT^ HE pernicious activity of Ruef's caterans in the Legislature
§ continues unabated- Assemblyman Goghlan is responsible for
j[ a bill to embarrass the work of grand juries by virtually;mak
ing the proceedings public. Under the -rule proposed by .Cogh
lan the function of grand juries, which is to find -if a > prima facie
case for a true bill exists, would; be converted into aj prolonged and
hard-fought trial on : the" merits of the charge. -Under this' absurd
procedure no provision is made for adjudge to pass- on the admis
sion of evidence,/ arid the result, of course, would be-t hat a 'single
investigation could be prolonged- far beyond the -life of a grand
jury by the pettifogging arts of criminal lawyersV /'
The animus of:the measure; is obvious on its face. itV is; de^

signed to«block the further investigation of graft and bribery^of
officials in San Francisco. - » *• •
V Senator Keane in the other House is not neglecting 'the inter
ests of his master, but his work is crude." He proposed that book
keepers and accountants should be exempt from testifying against
their employers,, and would put all such witnesses in the privileged
class. It is gratifying to find that Ruef's, influence has not crossed
| the bay, for Senator Leavitt; very promptly pointed out that the
proposition carries the theory of confidential communications miles
too far. Mr. Keane will have to try some other plan.
Grove Johnsqn is not classed among Ruefs caterans. Indeed,
he is in a class all by himself, but his change of venue bill is directly
in Ruef's interest. The whole pack— Blanche, Tray and Sweet
heart—will be found voting for it with enthusiasm. ; A less con- ; i
fiding and single-minded reformer than Mr. Johnson might begin
to suspect himself as he surveys the sort of company He keeps. ; \u25a0 ,
That eminent, unconscious humorist and cateran— we -use the
term in a strictly parliamentary , sense— Mr. Gus-Hartman};cheer
fully admits -that his bill to stop prizefighting is a purelyj personal
matter between himself and 'Messrs. Graney, ? Coffroth i 'and -their
associates, whom: Mr. 'Hartman regards as a very " improve
ment on bunko-steerers; We do not 'know what the fight promoters
may Have done to Riief, but it is not quite clear why their; quarrels
should be fought out at the expense of the people of California to
gratify the self-importance 'and appease the injured feelings of that
distinguished purist, Mr. Gus Hartman. Let him sign articles on
his own account with Coffroth and Graney to fight them both in
the same ring. - . ' .
T A "7^ scarcely see how the Interstate Commerce Commission can
Ail / escape giving Ventura and Santa Barbara the terminal rates
V V which those cities claim, and in that view equal privileges
must be. given to all coast towns where ships can load and
unload. 'The theory on which the commission bases its rule — it is
frequently a theory rather than a condition— is that all shipping
points that enjoy water competition must be given reduced rates
to enable the railroads to get a share of the business: The 'Com
mission does not go into details or compare facilities for water
competition. Indeed, it is very often a case~ rather of- potentiali
ties .than of actual facilities. - In that view, although - it . may be sai^
with truth that the seafaring com merce of Santa Barbara and \ Ven
tura is insignificant, yet the potentialities exist. They may become
in time great commercial seaports. A graceless joker of an elder
day was wont to say when the harbor of Santa Barbara was men
tioned that it was the most notable haven for shipping, in the world,
because it reached all, the way to; CHlfia; but that, of course,- was
a wild statement. There is, to be sure, plenty of: sea- room at
Santa Barbara, and the ; navies of the world would, not feel \ crowded
on her spacious front. Her harbor is bounded only, by the horizon,
and her commerce by sea is mostly a state of mind, which the
prophetic eye of the Interstate Commerce Commission will doubt
less recognize >as I sufficient 1 reason for "^putting the .town r and "its
neighbor in the terminal ctetss. Advance^ Santa Barbara, where win
ter brings no discontent and millionaires disport in
long-legged stockings across the yellow sand. Your^ virgin water
front is sweet as new-mown hay ; the chime of mission bells \isr in
the air; your foreshores blossom with flowers of althbusanci colors ;
notvulgar commerce mars the idyll— but, just the same, all roads, by
sea and land, lead to Santa Barbara, and therefore we gladly/' weK
come i-the little town under the hill^ to* the select^^ although turbulent
class; of terminals as. the single respectable and well-behaved mem
ber-thereof. ' -;)V>^'-V-- . " - ,- - / .- ;/. '- ' j

Bridge Champion
Owns Fine Block
' Butler property, of which Mrs. Breeden, society's champion ,br»dg «*»>». * *•
berited the greater part. Butler owned the entire block bounded by Sutter
;Post,Steiner and Pierce streets, and he lived across the way in Sutter sue«
in an old-fashioned house with a door in the middle and a wide *f»W.n"
I garden covering another large area of land. It was not so valuable in the daya
when he bought it. but it is one of the richest properties thereabouts now.
Emma Butler, his granddaughter. \u2666lived in the old house* whea she was a llttio
girl, but afterward she went away to school and then to Kurope. leturning to
take her place in society and later to marry the oil magnate.
The. old Crystal Palace Vas built on the Butler property over twenty
years ago. The Palace was designed by the lot's lessees to fill a long-felt
amusement want in the community and was laid out on plans borrowed from
London's famous Crystal Palace. But it burned down before it was finished
and went the way of the unrighteous.
The block farther up Sutter street, between Pierce and Scott was
owned by another pioneer, the late Pardon Cook, who lived In a very unpre
tentious way for the owner of over a quarter of a million. His two-story
frame house was as unassuming as his manner, of living. At his death hla
fortune went to' his widow and daughters, one of whom married young Dr.
Paul Noble.

1 Not Sell Dishes
ing by clothes alone. The bride who figures in this incident thinks it a famous
joke herself, but had she been of less aristocratic mold she might have had
her feelings seriously wounded. It was in a Van Ness avenue store, and the
bride and her mother were looking at dishes. They examined several that
did not quite suit them. Finally the saleslady who was showing the goods
paussd before a set of exceedingly common looking dishes. She named tho
price. The bride turned to her mother and said: "Oh, how ugly. I would
never care to have a set like that."
"Why, don't you iike them?" observed the saleslady with evident surprise,
as she took in the garments of the other women with a patronizing air; "they
are jnst the thing for a pooiv family."

'drunk' on the Oakland boat he will come to me. I may go to the upper deck
and select the most secluded' place to read or meditate, but the 'drunk*, will
find me and insist on telling me his tale of adversities, of his fears and his»
prospects. If I go to the club for recreation and there happens to be an
inebriated member in any' room of the institution, he will find me and pour
out his troubles. I cannot tell what there Is in my countenance to lure the
'drunk- to give me his confidence, but the fact remains that I am a magnet for
