HOW THE NEW SAN FRANCISCO GROWS FROM the physical viewpoint, as well as the moral, San Fran cisco is today in a better position than before the fire. Prior to the disaster we had many buildings which were a menace to their surroundings, illy constructed, badly drained, mere death traps, in the thriving, bustling business centers. These have all been swept away, and new commercial quarters have been opened to the demands of industry and trade. From the base of Telegraph hill to the bay several large and imposing buildings are being erected on the site of ancient shanties. East street promises well, Mission street will house big structures and what was known as the tenement district will be made over to the large wholesale houses. These few words will' serve to suggest the great changes that will be made in the city as results of the conflagration. This is the physical side of the question. There is, however, another aspect. San Francisco will, in a few years, have the reputa tion of being a "home city." We have enjoyed the distinction of being a homeless town, a place of restaurants, lodging houses and hotels. This is not to be the case in the future. Mechanics who, before the fire, were compelled by the stress of circumstances to house themselves in: mean streets, are now enabled, through high wages, to purchase their own homes. To this end a notable con tribution has been made by the Crocker estate, which has put on the' market large tracts of land, where lots can be secured on easy terms by people of moderate incomes. A city the majority of whose inhabitants own their homes is pledged to good government. Such a city must inevitably attract desirable immigration. This is exactly what San Francisco is doing now. The fact that the mechanic can buy his own home is one of the .powerful forces that are drawing to this city a throng of the kind of people we need. What other city in. the world of San Fraa cisco's size can show 1103 people passing in through one of its irate\tays in one day? This is the number that left Ogden last Friday for San Francisco. It is enough to make the soberest of us pause and revise his estimates of the city's destiny. The future San Francisco will, indeed, be a marvelous place. A far seeing railroad man, some years ago when on"a visit to the city, declared that within twenty years it would stretch to San Jose. Since his prophecy hourly trains have run to the Garden city, several tracts along the line have been opened to settlement, an electric line operates as far as San Mateo, and before another year shall have passed there will be electric communication San Francisco and San Jose. By the new short line the peninsula will be brought into closer communication with the city, which will tend strongly to the building up of San Mateo county. Already there are a great number of men who live in San Jose and who do business in San Francisco, and when there shall have been established a quick and comfortable service down the peninsula the number of families who will make their homes in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties will be naturally increased. The present tendency is to live as far from town as is possible. This is due not to high rents alone, but to a growing ten dency among home builders to hunt breathing space and elbow room. Again, as the city grows it must expand, and the natural expansion is toward San Mateo. Another proof of the growth of the city can be. adduced from the fact that not only is San Mateo county receiving large accessions of people, but there is a similar increase noticeable across the bay The expansion of Berkeley is most astonishing. Large tracts of land also are being opened up in* Oakland, and. Alameda, too, is profiting by the overflow of San Francisco's population. The same reports reach us from Marin county.' It matters little to what side one turns the same conditions greet the observer. Richmond, which only a few years ago had some small and scattered dwellings, is compactly built up. To the southwest there are rows and rows of stately houses, and still farther south the face of the country is being covered with less pretentious domiciles of the actual builders of the city. . We are just entering upon an era of prosperity. The next Jew years will see so great an improvement that we shall find it difficult to make the stranger believe that we were destroyed in the year 1906. PLAIN SPEAKING BY LA FOLLETTE IT is not difficult to understand why his colleagues in the senate do not like La- Follette. He did . not say- much about Perkins and Flint in his speech in this city, but he did read the record of certain roll calls on the railroad rate'' bill that show the affilia tions of the senators from California." The ' fact is that when any question affecting the railroads arises in congress California- has no representation. The whole delegation, from the senior senator to the] junior representative; belongs to Harriman and was. chosen by Herrin. There is nothing new in this statement. It is known to nearly every man in California, but it is right that it should be restated and borne in mind on occasions. . Senator La Follette points out the remedy for this servile con dition. He shows how Wisconsin has achieved independence .Political safety lies in the direct primary. Neither Perkins nor Flint could be nominated by that method. These are plain truths and harsh, but the political condition of California is so bad that nothing else will serve but plain speaking about the servile state to which the people have been reduced -by currupt use of the convention system, \ EDITORIAL PAGE Ruef and Schmitz Sing: "Well ße Sweethearts to the End. " NOT the least important gain from the publication in The Call of the supervisors' confessions to the grand v jury is the con clusive proof that the evidence supplies of Railroad Commis sioner Wilson's guilt. With this proof before him Governor Gillett will not hesitate to act. He has. already announced as much. Indeed, that course is the only one that remains open in view of the record spread before the people in these columns. Every hour that Wilson continues to hold office under the state after, this ex posure adds to his offense and aggravates the scandal. We are unable to say whether the state, law supplies machinery under which Wilson may be ousted from office, but if there is any such means it should be set in motion. Quite probably Wilson has neither the manhood nor decency to heed the demand for his resigna tion, but at least he can be officially branded as a man unfit to, hold office, a man who escapes going to the penitentiary only because he | admitted his corruption and named his corruptors.

The open \ meet- - Carmel by the Sea Plans to Hold Art Exhibition Hanna Astrup Larsen IN Monterey, where militant progress halts on the threshold, where the spirit of the past hovers over crumbling adobes, and roses, cling ing lovingly, cover up the ravages of time, where romantic stories are still told as if romance had high value, and where the possibilities for enchilades suppers are unsurpassed in the by ways of the old town— that is where artists have always loved to congre gate. In Carmel by the Sea with its name of "linked swetness long drawn out" with its bay of deep blue, its black Jagged rocks separating the white of the breakers from the differ ent white of the sand dunes, with the trailing pink and yellow of the wild '.lowers, the tall pine forests and the cypress Jutting black and spiky into the evanescent loveliness of dune and veiling flowers and greensward, there are subjects that hold an artist in a spell and preclude the necessity for going across the eeas. The neighborhood of Carmel and Monterey has always been a gathering place of artists and is doubly so now inasmuch as the old Latin quarter of San Francisco is no more. The ex hibrtion at Del Monte promises to be a definite center around which the art life of the district can cluster, and it is to be hoped that practical advan tages will be added to the subtler in fluences of atmosphere and environ ment. Carmel will not be lacking in progress and plans to have an exhibi tion of its own in the near future. The Carmel club of arts and crafts, of which Mrs. Josephine B. Foster is president, has an art section that in tends to proceed actively for the ex hibition. The chairman of the section is Sidney Yard. The club will build a gallery 30x50 feet, where an exhibition will be held each pear, probably In the last week of July and the first week of August. It is not the intention of the club to compete with the permanent exhibition at Del Monte, but It has been found that the demand for pic tares during the time when tourists visit the place is very great, and it is hoped that an art gallery, will attract the artist and the art lover together to the advantage of both. Sidney Yard has made a permanent home for himself in Carmel. He was fortunate in having moved there some time before the fire and so lost com paratively little. He has a pretty lit*' 9 home within sound of the breake.J and has just completed a studio close by. It is a shingled structure with the door standing hospitably open to admit the chance caller and also the charm of outdoors. Over the door is the artist's code: "Art is a corner of nature seen through a temperament." This is where Sidney Yard paints the water colors that come to the city dealers, bringing a message from fair Carmel. On my: way down from San Francisco I had wished that some one would paint the spring meadows with the poppies like lakes of orange and deep cadmium in the greensward, and I was delighted to see just such a picture in Yard's studio. Among his other pic tures were a hill with a flock of sheep huddling together striving toward the top, some fine renderings of cypresses and others of the feathery trees that grow along the waterways. The sea had " not tempted hi mso much as the inland scenes- of a garden like finish. : When asked. whether he had entirely abandoned oils. Yard answered that he had no time for them. He had in the beginning of his career as an artist worked some in oils, but when he made his first attempt at water colors the fascination of that delicate, transpar ent medium grew upon him and he has never been able to get away from it. His water colors have now won an amount of recognition that would make any attempt to strike out Into new paths something in the nature of an experiment. "After the fire I thought art was dead on the coast for many years." he said. He made arrangements with Thurber In Chioago and sent film a collection of 26 pictures, of which 17 were sold at once. But he soon found that 'the demand for pictures on the coast was greater than ever, so that he had difficulty in meeting his obligations in the way of sending work to the Chi cago firm. . Chris^ Jorgensen .has spent much time at 'Carmel and is building a house where he intends to; live during a part of the year. Miss Anita Ghirardelli has been traveling with the Jorgenscns and was with them iat Carmel for some time. Miss de Neale Morgan is an other artist who has made her home at Carmel. In Monterey Charles Rollo Peters lives on the. hill in. a mansion like that of an English lord and radiates pros perity like an oil magnate. A magnifl ing May 15 will take the form of a re ception to Mrs. Philip Carpenter, ex president^ of the New York state fed eration, who wIU deliver an address. - • • • ; The woman's dub of Bakersfield has increased in membership from about 40 to more than\ 100 since the first of the year. The club will adjourn today for the summer season. Truxtun Beale -has, however, secured several univer sity, professors to lecture there during the summer. The following article from the Bakersfleld Echo of recent date will show some of the latest ac tions of the home club of the state president, Mrs. E. D. Buss: "The organization of the Woman's club into sections, each for a special branch of work, promises to make the coming-club year the most active and. prosperous in the history of the club, each member being able to; take up the line of work most interesting to her. "The club is divided into the literary, .the social, the civics and the household economics divisions, and the members have chosen the one or more with which. they desire to work. The recent house cleaning day was the result of the efforts- of the civics department, and the chairmen intend: that their work shall continue throughout the year; in many effective ways. ; "Ther« was ) a meeting yesterday af ternoon of some of 'the chairmen of divisions, and the plans for Ihe> pro grams were partially outlined. * Each division Is to have one meeting in each month and the subjects and leaders for some orthemeetings have been chosen. "The social division will each month arrange for. a ;social meeting and aev- ' eral.f unctions of a larger nature are to be planned. ;The. first social affair will; be the reception on next Monday of the' ladies who; accompany the visit- •\u25a0 ing editors.

Not far away Harry Stuart Fonda has a charming home in a pretty spot which he ha; tried to keep as natural as possibl« creek near the house has been dammed up to form a lake big enough for a rowboat to be pushed about on It, an<l trees and grass grow according to their own sweet wllL Evelyn McCormlck It fond of the old town and often goes there fr>r work. At one time she had her studi> in the old custom house, and durir.s: her present stay In Monterey she he 3 established herself right opposite. In the old Pacific, which bears the date 1834, and was once a fine hostelry. The Salvation Army now holds out In the opposite end of the building from where Miss McCormick has her studio, but it seems that even the Salvation Army is subdued to the spirit of the old town and shuns earsplltting melo dies. A large picture of the San Lu:a Bey mission occupies the place of honor in Miss McCormlck's studio, and. upon being coaxed, she will show some pictures of old adobes and some of the bay and the old custom house, which can be seen from her balcony. She has been remarkably successful In catching the coloring and atmos phere of her subjects. Miss Isabel Hunter likes Monterey so well that she thinks she will stay there. She has a house In the heart of the old town. She has devoted much time to studies of trees and has some excellent charcoal sketches of the massive cypresses near her home. Charles Dickman has a house in Monterey, but closed It lately and will go to Tonopah. He disclaims, how ever, any interest in mining except in so far as It furnishes subjects for painting. • • « In Pacific Grove Eugene Neuhaas floats a big German flag over his house. This is by his own confession, for his preoccupation with the Del Monte exhibition made it Impossible to aeek him out in the place where his pictures are made. Judging from his industry and success in his adopted country it may be hoped that tho tiny American flag which he hangs below that of the fatherland may expand un til it fills the horizon entirely. Miss Anna Frances Brig?s also I* in Pacific Grove and has been dolns some good sketches in the neighbor hood • • • Grace Hudson's exhibition at Schuss ler's will continue to the middle v? this week. It would be difficult to Imagine anything more deliciously quaint than some of the tiny Indian maidens she has painted. There is one called "Among the Poppies." showing a Uttla girl standing in a sea of waving pop pies. Another, called "A Basket Pic nic." la the picture of a girl carrying a basket of apples and fortifying her self for crossing a stream by taking a. bite big enough to last her acro33. Again there is a tiny Indian child look ing fearfully at a Jay, supposed to be ft bird of ill omen, sitting on the branch of a tree above. The artist's gift for choosing Interesting situations is as great as her ability to catch the varying expressions in the chubby brown faces and big dark eye 3. The great variety of her pictures of Indk\:i children may be due partly to th»? fa»;t that she does not confine herself t>> one model, but la always on th«s look out for good subjects. Indians are the most difficult of all people to approach, but Mr 3. Hudson in her home in Uklah ha 3 used her opportunity of ir.ak'n.? friends with them to great advantage. She makes it a point to be very faith ful in her picturing of the dress and household belongings of the Indians. • • • Piazzoni has just had his picture "Song of the Marshland." at one time exhibited at Mark Hopkins, accepted in the new Salon, or Societe National dcs Beaux Arts in Paris.
