THEY CANT STOP LA FOLLETTE SENATOR LA FOLLETTE'S enemies in Wisconsin are tickled to death because the man who has ridden roughshod over them for years got himself badly mixed up with a teachers' institute at Pittsburg. Most of us know that La Follette's tongue is an unruly member. It is hung in the middle and works both ways. It knows no such thing as fatigue. In San Francisco Senator La Follette began talking at dusk and kept at it until the small hours. It was a great occasion. But in Pittsburg it was different. Mr. La Follette began early in the afternoon and by the time people were thinking of dinner he was in full swing. The chairman tugged at the speaker's coat tails to no avail. The river of eloquence flowed on and on. The trusts were getting it hot. It was every pop a corporation. At last the chairman, growing desperate, broke in with a few remarks, in this wise: "Lock here, Senator; you have talked now long beyond your limit. It is after 4 o'clock. This hall must be reno vated for a lecture tonight." But "Fighting Bob" was not to be shut off that way. He went out and talked from the front steps and carried the crowd with him. All this seems very important in Wisconsin and it is eagerly seized as a weapon by the remnants of the old political machine that La Follette smashed. Wisconsin is shown sitting in sack cloth and ashes for La Follette's sin. Disgrace is heaped on the state. She hides her head. Thus the Milwaukee Sentinel: . His peevish and demagogical display of arrogant bad manners and im perfect sense of the dignity of the high office he is supposed to fill are exciting ridicule and disgust in about equal parts outside his own state, and as for his own state an outside commentator says, we should think correctly, that this mountebank display "cannot but inspire the sober minded American citizens of Wisconsin with new rec-?r that they should be legally represented in the senate by a man who has no conception of representative government and who appears to be mentally incapable of forming one." La Follette's ill starred attempt to override the arrangements of this gathering and turn its platform into a tribune for his stump oratory, despite the stipulation to the contrary, was thoroughly characteristic of the ingrained habit of tlie boss — a' boss who presents the anomaly of going about lecturing on "repre sentative government" Peevish — demagogical — arrogant — bad manners — imperfect sense — this mountebank — mentally incapable— ill starred attempt— stump orator}- — ingrained habit of the boss. What fine language! The trouble seems to be that Wisconsin does not realize her dis grace, and the real objection to La Follette's fine flow of talk is that he says things about rogues that they don't like to hear. But they can't stop him. TWO UNFIT APPOINTMENTS THE Evening News of Los Angeles. vigorously, condemns the recent appointment to office of August Muenter, in these words : Senator Perkins has paid a political debt at the expense of the state by causing the president to appoint as the successor of John C. Lynch, internal revenue collector for California, State Senator Gus Muenter of Stockton, whose acts at Sacramento in the' last legislative session subjected him to the sharpest criticism. It is perfectly true that Mucnter's appointment was made in pay ment of a private political debt by> Senator Perkins at the expense of the national government. It is equally true that the prospective appointment of John C. Lynch as bank commissioner will be a similar payment made by Governor Gillett to discharges political debt due to William F. Herrin. These are the customary methods by which the political machine has been kept in working order in California. Public office is made private property and the man who betrays his con stituents is rewarded. It is a strange system \u25a0 under which the people are made to pay for their own injury. I It is these methods — the methods of Herrin and Perkins— that ! the Lincoln-Roosevelt league is organized to fight. ! NO GERRYMANDER FOR ARIZONA TATEHOOD for Arizona is evidently postponed for a long time to come, and in all probability New Mexico will share J^J the same fate. President Roosevelt announces that he will no longer insist on joint statehood, because the.; people of ; Arizona have shown by a decisive vote that they- are opposed to .union with New Mexico. As the population of Arizona is small, this means indefinite postponement. By way of alternative, jt is pro- i posed that. Arizona shall unite with Nevada; but this proposition is no more likely to succeed than the other. There is too much politics about it. Senators Newlands and Nixon would be certain •to oppose it in congress with all their power, and senatorial courtesy is a potent influence. i Changes in political boundaries are always the cause of heart burnings. Where they take the shape of a gerrymander within state limits they are effected only by the ', brute force of a ' dominant majority in disregard of minority protests. Where they cannot.be carried out without the consent of both parties they are rarely successful. This is equally true whether it is a question of dividing a state or of uniting two territories as one state. BAD TEMPER AND THE FLEET THE eastern brother is much distressed and even terrified-rfor publication-^because the president proposes to leave the Att lantic coast naked to its enemies. Visions of bombardments and invasions, alarums and excursions are writ large in editorial columns. There: is the devil to pay because the fleet goes a- visiting .on the Pacific coast. There is not water enough' in Lake^Mefritt EDITORIAL PAGE to float a battleship up to Secretary Metcalf's doorstep, and in Puget sound the water is so deep that the anchor will never touch bottom, and the fleet will go drifting, drifting. 1 here is no coal and' there are no drydocks. 5 Terror reigns in New York. The Sun is filled .with alarm. It quotes a statement to the effect that there is no : drydock on the | Pacific coast large enough to admit a modern battleship; nor even was its fright allayed when Mr. George T. Marye jr. wrote in explanation : I am not familiar with the dimensions of the.drydcck Dcwey at Qlongapo in the Philippines, and' l do not know whether it could accommodate the largest "of our battleships which it is proposed to send to the Pacific, but the larger of the two drydocks now in use at Hunters point in San Francisco has adequate facilities for that purpose. ' It- has a length of 750. feet and a depth of 3£ ' feet 5 inches. They are now building at Hunters point a drydock which will ' have a length of 1,050 feet and a depth of 34 feet 5 inches, and it will ,be the largest' in the world. When finished it will accommodate two battleship's at one' time. But the one in use isjadequate to the requirements of any of Admiral Evans' ships': The World of the same city has a, whole bundle of reasons, any one of which is big enough to explain a bigger thing if any of them were true. Look at this inventory: "This Roosevelt spectacle." "San Francisco and Oakland will witness the great naval parade prom ised them by Secretary Metcalf." , "The parade will be the "most conspicuous of 'my policies.'" "His Pacific coast parade." "And for what? To gratify Mr. Roosevelt's- weakness for noise and j show." * - "Bunching all our heavy battleships and -cruisers 14,000 miles away to play politics with congress and the cbuntrv." "To make for San Francisco a holiday? His present plans say yes." "And to gain what?' Delegates to "a national convention? Votes for his chosen candidate?" ' These are two of the biggest papers in America. Now what do you think of the wisdom and. knowledge that they keep on sale? There are plenty of good reasons for. the coming of the .fleet, \u25a0to Pacific waters, but it is not worth while to state them if thef^ are no better reasons the rri oye fthaiii:thosc;qiwte<i.? : .These r are so silly and so informed by childish malice that they supply their own answer. w / : Gaps is singing' ' 4 '? ac^' Back, Back to Baitimore," while" Britt— well,-Britt itt^'t tinging.

Cliff HOUSC BUTTIS f O r t h ey had never ceased grumbling over the inartistic p}le erected by the late Adolph Sutro. The original Cliff house, say these esthetic souls, was in keeping with the surroundings. Its inconspicuous architecture made it a part of the rock on which it was built, while thef Sutro castle, with its wooden turrets, always appeared cheap and out of place. .When a mere tot in kilts I remember driving many times to the old Cliff house,' kept by Captain John Foster, in those days when there were no streetcars to transport one from town to the beach. Of all the" gay doings at the new Cliff house, just demolished, but one clings to my mercory-rrthe wedding feast of Margaret Craven and young Koehler, her millionaire husband, son of a brev/er.

' The celestial listened politely, but as if the artist's remarks had no bearing on the subject ait hand. When they were finished he repeated, "How much 'you get? Four-T-five dollars a day?"
