GEARY STREET ROAD &HOULD RUN _ - - . TT is not clear why the board of supervisors should deny trans | portation to the people resident on the line of Geary street. ][_ This thoroughfare passes through the very heart of the resi dence district and puts it in touch with the downtown busi ness quarter. Such facilities for transit as are offered by this rail way supply a very real need. It is not necessary at this time to discuss the policy of spend ing a large sum to build a municipal street railway. The point to be made is that there is no intention to begin this work in the immediate future. No contract has been let, nor, as we under stand the rijatter, are the plans complete. It may be six. months, perhaps a year, before the city is ready to tear up the present tracks. In that interval the residents served by the Geary street railway should not be denied facilities for transportation that can be put in operation within the hour. The contention of a member of the board of supervisors that the railway company should forego its claim to the rails, in consideration of being permitted to reopen the line, is met by the answer that the company cannot make this surrender without the consent of the bond holders, who hold a mortgage on the physical property. Whether the Geary street railway company or the city owns these rails is a question that must be settled in court. While the road lies idle the city is losing a not inconsiderable revenue which the company agrees to pay and has paid into the public treasury as a percentage of the gross receipts. The people along the line are suffering for lack of transportation, and the only person who profits by the tieup is Mr. Patrick Calhoun, whose lines get the benefit of the overflow. The Geary street road can be started up at once. There would be not the slightest danger to the city's rights in letting it run. The temporary permit can be made from month to monthV week to week, or even day to day, in order to avoid delay when the municipality is ready to begin building its line. It is plainly the duty of the supervisors to enter into such an arrangement dur ing the interval between this date and the beginning of con struction. The public wants the Geary street cars to run. OFFENSIVE ADVERTISING METHODS THERE is active rebellion in Tacoma against the billboard. The prevailing state of mind in that, city was stimulated in the first instance by a monstrous double decker advertising sign that shut out the whole north end from view of the magnificent and inspiring mountain from which the city* takes its name. The Tacoma improvement society took up the matter and has succeeded in persuading the author of this monstrosity to take it down and out. This success has inspired the society to further efforts to minimize the nuisance. The case for the society is stated in a letter written in reply to an advertiser who used the board as •follows: You state that 5-011 "do not have much concern for beautifying cities. That is, we might individually, but not as advertisers." The people whom you are trying to reach are "individuals" and take pride in beautifying their city and "have concern" in so doing. It appears to us that you, as •"advertisers,'' must take note of this feeling of the people of a city in oppo sition to k billboards that disfigure the city, because, if a system of advertising is distasteful to people it. is not a good system, is it? Your object 1 is not to offend people, but to . attract them, is it not? j How many goods would you buy of a travelingman who came into your office and presented his wares to you in an offensive manner? The manner" of your advertising strikes other people the same way. Old residents 'of San Francisco will remember the time when the sky line of Twin peaks was disfigured by the huge advertising \sign of a local firm. But when remonstrance was made the mer chants who were responsible for the erection were quick to see that it was bad business and at once removed it. It will not be disputed that sentiment has much to do -with the success of advertising. Merchants who use vulgar and offensive methods of pushing their ide will very quickly become identified in the minds of the public th a cheap John, catchpenny trade. ' A BUSINESSLIKE CITY ADMINISTRATION HE new supervisors have done more work and more good work for the city in _a month than their malodorous prede r cessors did in a year and a half. The record of Monday's proceedings in the board shows what an arrear of work must be made up. v It is a big load, but the board has got a move on it* Among other things, the action of the board gives reason to hope that the wrecked dome of the city hall will not much longer offend the eye and outrage the sensibilities of San Franciscans. The neglect of this eyesore by the late board for more than a'yeir was a gross scandal, as well as eloquent testimony to that body's incompetence. The first thing an eastern visitor, does when he strikes San Francisco is to unsling his camera and take a snap shot of that melancholy dome in its looped' and windowed ragged ness. Then he. laughs, and who shall say that. San Francisco. has not in some degree earned the gibes of the scornful stranger? The point made by Supervisor Sullivan that the city: does not need a separate hall of justice appears to be well taken. There was a time when San Francisco could afford to. indulge in such extravagances; .but there is present need for every penny for the municipal necessaries. There should' be no 'difficulty in accom modating all the departments of Justice as well as the city prison under one roof. The city haU 'is pretty near the center of .city life and is the right point of concentration for- municipal'. business:' The streets are not being, neglected in the press of municipal affairs, and the provision of $600,000 for their repair gives promise EDITORIAL PAGE that by the time the rains begin our chief thoroughfares will have acceptable roadways. The city is at length getting the benefit of a businesslike administration./ It only needs common 1 sense' and common honesty.., . .\u25a0..••_-_: , ', \u25a0> \\ Vr.r THE decision of the third district court of appeal in the matter of a superior court judge for Shasta, county -closes a political episode which, in the process of its . evolution, was creditable neither to Governor Gillett nor to Dr. Pardee, his prede cessor in office. L : • In 1905 the legislature^ dominated by a set of rascally politi cians, created a. second judgeship for Shasta county against the protest and warm remonstrance of a great majority r of the people in that political- division.. There was no more need for a superior court judge in Shasta than for a fifth wheel on a coach, and everybody knew it. But Governor Pardee signed the bill and appointed a man to fill the place. -It was altogether a piece of discreditable politics. '-\ } r Last year the people of Shasta county, feeling themselves unjustly, treated by the imposition of a gratuitous burden, devised a plan to get rid of; the superfluous judgeship and; elected Judge Head to the place, on his promise that he would not qualify. That promise was fulfilled, but Judge Bush, fardee's \u25a0 appointee, con tended that he continued in office until his successor qualified. This pomt > the court of appeal decides to be not well taken and the tax payers of Shasta are relieved. of the useless load. Governor Gillett, ' like* Pardec, in defiance of tHe popular wish, sought to fortify Judge Bush in his superfluous office by reappointirig him in March last. There is need of plain speaking alSout this affair, because botH governors do not appear to have realized that they were engaged-on a mean and unworthy job of public plunder./ Heavy timbers instead of planks are to be used in the Taft platform.

THE INSIDER Tells of the famous rectors who preached powerful sermons beneath the lofty riave of ' Grace Episcopal church many years ago -V- „ i'l x rr^HE final demolition of the ruins of Recollections Of I . Grace churc h, admittedly the nearest per * Old G race Church /*vfect- specimen of Gothic architecture in this city, recalls some of the stories which cluster around its historic remains. Grace church began its career by a disappointment, for it was originally in : tended for cathedral purposes and was built fa/ Bishop Kip, but, throngh some disagreement in the church body politic, it was- never the cathedral. Many famous . rectors officiated beneath its once lofty nave and many famous sermons delivered there are remembered with vividness by the people of today who listened to them in the early seventies. One in particular caused a sensation. It was when the best known and most erratic rector of all "the brilliant line announced one Sunday morning that be had had an extraordinary and appalling dream; in fact, that it had made such an }in pressionion him that he felt impelled to accept it as the basic subject of his discourse that morning. He said that he had dreamed that God was dead, 'and he went on to deliver one of the most remarkable sermons the auditors of -Grace church had ever listened to. He portrayed with startling effect the awful chaos, the darkening and trembling of heaven and tha frightful blank of earth which had resulted from that fearful happening. The sermon created a big sensation and a number of his hearers were unwilling to leave the church at its close. V««W f n th" Another well remembered and effective ter- Dance Ot UeaiD mon was ? strong protest against the evils Startles Auditors o f ballet dancing. So thrilling and pene trating were the preacher's words that his hearers declared that they ac tually saw the skeletons and dry bones whirling before the altar and heard the rattling and knocking of the fleshless frames as he described the "Dance of Death" with all its attendant horrors. Still another striking and brilliant discourse was on the "Dead of 74," when the names of all those eminent in social, business or political life who had died during the year were recited and a few brief and pregnant sentences containing some truths were delivered about each name as it was. read. The list was a noteworthy one. As the sermon came to a close the rector, pointing an impressive finger at those seated in the pews, uttered slowly and with marked intensity, "Who shall it be next year? Who? Who?" the finger moving in review over the alarmed occupants of the pews and seeming to pause at Certain places. "Who?" he repeated sol emnly, and with v the echo of that condemning voice in their ears the haughti est and most aristocratic congregation in the city filed down the aisles silent as before the crack of doom.
