SAN FRANCISCO'S UNIQUE REALTY MARKET NO more convincing expression of the faith people have in Sari Francisco could be given than their attitude toward the real estate market last week. It would not have been surprising if. under the prevailing conditions, the market had been so dead as to furnish nothing to record, but instead of a general de pression there were several notably large transactions, and two more transfers of consequence would have been consummated but for delay in making out the necessary papers. This is certainly a matter of self-congratulation,^f or there is no industrial disturbance so disastrous to business generally as a streetcar tieup. The experience of other cities in like circumstances has been that the realty market was the first to suffer anCrthe last to revive. In this, as in other matters, San Francisco is unique. Home seekers have been active in their search for sites on which to build, and agents who have charge of tracts like Parkside and along the Mission road report that the comparatively rich and the relatively poor are in the market for lots. It is interesting to tFace the recent growth of this city. \ At one time the movement was toward the ocean, aim' Richmond sprang into sudden popularity. Then there was a drift to the south, and new tracts- were opened up. Then again the development seemed to be nearer town. It was sporadic, likely to manifest itself in any place, rather through the cleverness of the promoters than on ac count of unstimulated demand. Now, however,, there is another kind of growth — natural and strong. It is ; expansion,/ and steady expansion. There is a keen demand for. homes along Mission road, and equally as strong a demand in the Richmond district. As a counterpoise, there is still another demand arising from that class which, before the disaster, lived in expensive boarding houses, apartment houses or hotels. New tracts are being opened up for these people, and, in order to stimulate the market, reasonable terms are being offered and eagerly accepted. , , : '-- ; In no other city are such advantages offered for the building of homes as in San Francisco. Along the highlands overlooking the bay and facing the Marin shore lots have been "platted which will give the house owner a wonderful scape; of sea and /mountain. Another tract which is already being built upon gives .the house owner a view of the Pacific ocean, k. \u25a0- : '• : ; _; .• It can safely be said that within ten years San Francisco will possess more beautiful homes than any other city in the ;United States — homes which for view and healthy surroundings cannot be equaled in all the world. ' o,- ™S- .'.'' GET RID OF* DINAN ~ IT scarcely needed Governor Gillett's declaration to convince the public that Police Chief Dinan is incompetent— or -worse. He is not the man for the place in any circumstances,. and least of all in a time of great peril. Indicted -by one grand jury .and declared incompetent and inefficient by another, it is scandalous that he should be continued in control of the most important ex ecutive department of the municipality. There can be no doubt that Dinan could have stopped or rather prevented the fatal rioting that marked the first attempt to run streetcars. )Ve are not prepared to say mat Divan invited a riot, but he took no precautions against outbreak or disturbance. Crowds of hoodlums and loafers seeking a fight were permitted to congregate around* the carbarns , and exchange defiances with the strike breakers. Xo sufficient force of police '"was massed at the strategic points. In a word, Dinan waited for the riots to begin, and even then he was slow about moving. For the. credit and safety of the city he should be removed from office. The whole public will warmly indorse the stand, taken by Governor Gillctt. He is neither on the side of the strikers nor of the corporation, but speaks for the great third party mi this unfor tunate affair. Until the governor appeared on the scene that third party, the public, had no authoritative voice raised to '• ."present its cause. The governor declares that law and order must be main tained, and he means it. ,§an Francisco begins to 1 breathe m6re freely since Governor Gillett has cleared the atmosphere Get rid of Dinan. Put a competent man in' his place, and the police force will be found. sufficient to keep the, peace. THE PRESIDENT AND THE PEOPLE WtIEN Moliere wrote of the man" who was constituted a physi- '! cian in spite of his own resistance lie could not have foreseen! the day when an exalted personage pi retiring disposition ! seemed likely to be made president of the' United States in defiance of his utmost resistance..

Locb throws up his hands in despair. He passes it up. - ' - Jacob Riis, the noted writer 6iv sociology, is as close to Roose velt as any man living^ Coming out of the > White ' House the other day, he was asked the question, "How will President Rooseveit •prevent his friends from renominating him next year if they make up their minds to do that?" Mn, Riis gave it up, because, as lie explained, he was not a politician; but he added: V'l^ know,: how ever, that Mr. Roosevelt is as much in earnest" today' as' 7 he wasHhe day he was elected in his refusal tobe! again a candidate^' pn this point all the testimony agrees. There is no of ; Rooseven's resolve. \u25a0"•\u25a0\u25a0- But that does not meet the conditions that are foreshadowed. EDITORIAL PAGE There may very- easily be a. stampede of the, convention, resulting in a unanimous nomination* of Roosevelt, or; on the. other hand, the reactionaries, who would reverse. Roosevelt's policies,, may be powerful enough "'to prevent' the nomination t>f any man '\u25a0\u25a0 of- the_ president's, .'schools but himself. .In .these, contingencies Roosevelt's hand "would "be forced..

For more than a year the local clua women had , striven to awaken interest in the question of playgrounds for children. - The appointment of Mrs. K. L.:. Baldwin as chairman of the xcom missionhas caused rejoicing among her fellow members of the California club. As a- member of the civic department of the California club the had worked long . and energetically to induce the city authorities ' to give attention to the -matter.* A; few month* ago the mayor took up the subject and recently organized the commission' along the lines suggested by Mrs. Baldwin. As sociated with her s on ' the -commission are , Mrt. Aylette : Cotton. . Miss C I* Griffith.. Mrs. John F. Merrill and Mrs. M. S. Koshland. aBSS The powers of the commission are not restricted* to mere supervision- of the playgrounds.,: ,The women- will recom mend . to . the city authorities - the pur chase of additional grounds, will over see the arrangement of the places, plan their adornment and supervise their use. The women have held one meet ing and have decided to inspect tha field thoroughly before outlining plans of action. They will meet again thi3 week andLexehange views. "Our work so far has consisted mere ly in looking over the situation." said Mrs. 'Baldwin- yesterday. "Under the bond, issue only two new playgrounds are* provided for, but it is our hop<» that we will _be able to . arrange for more. We desire to distribute play grounds throughout the city in the sections where there are the most chil dren so that all of them could enjoy the exercise and the fresh air. Then we hope to teach the children* how to play. Many of them really do not know how." \u25a0 / The playground movement has gained a new impetus throughout the country during the last year through the ac tivity of the women's clubs. \. : \u25a0 .••:\u25a0\u25a0;;••\u25a0 •; Members of the Forum club enjoyed an Interesting program on Wednesday.

The red room up stairs was devoted to a collection of: rare and beautiful objects of art loaned by Mr. and Mrs. . C.-V. Parker of Villa Marie, being a part of their collection brought from Europe. The exhibition, was opened the first evening by an ad dress by Judge Covert, superior judge i of Klng3 county, in which he called at tention to the educational value of the' display and spoke of the thanks due to the women of the Hanford dub for their many efforts for the advancement of the community. A fine musical pro gram, was rendered each evening and a series of beautiful "living pictures" was arranged by a committee of club women.
