' PARKSIDE FRANCHISE NEEDED {T seems more than probable now that favorable action will be taken at today's meeting of the board of supervisors on the ap plication for the Parkside street railway franchise. The' joint • .committee on public utilities and streets having decided to rec ommend the granting oi the franchise, all that is needed nowls the acquiescence of fourteen supervisors. It does not 6eem possible, considering the benefit, that will 'be conferred upon the city, by' the .aranting of the franchise, that the opponents of they measure -can muster sufficient strength to defeat it. The join committee referred to has gone thoroughly into; the matter, and its favorable report is the result not only of delibera tion but of painstaking investigation. Visits have been. made to the tract of land that it is. proposed to open up by the installation of trolley lines, and all who wished to-be heard in, favor "of or against the franchise have been given attention/ The only valid objections that were urged have been overcome. The company that is seeking the franchise has agreed to replace the Nineteenth ave nue boulevard that its line will destroy by constructing a boulevard on Twentieth avenue: \This will involve an expenditure of $125,000, and the city will be greatly the gainer, as the Nineteenth avenue roadway has never been altogether satisfactory on account of • th# boggy condition of Objection was made to the granting of the franchise on ac l count of the scandal attached to the former attempt to secure it. It seems now that the members of the committee have ceased; to re gard this as an important factor in the present controversy. .The company is coming before the board in good faith, asking. that it be allowed to build trolley lines into an undeveloped section of the; city that, when given communication with the remainder of San Francisco, will be quickly settled by a desirable class of residents. As residents of that section have pointed out, the- district lacks churches, schools, police protection and proper mail delivery, all of which would follow adequate transportation facilities. Little weight has been given to the arguments of people- who want the matter delayed in the hope that the city will build a line to Parkside. Municipal ownership — but an experiment at best — is subject to many delays. There is no telling how long it" would take for the city to build such a line as is proposed, or what litiga tion would block the scheme. There is an opportunity right now to place within the reach of thousands of home seekers a desifable tract of land, sightly, healthful, reasonably close to the business cen ter of town. There should be no hesitancy. '< The present" board of supervisors is made up of men who can grant this franchise with out danger of their motives being questioned. For that matter, no one would accuse them of ulterior motives should they deny it. But it would undoubtedly be the consensus of opinion that they; had used had judgment and had acted against the interests .of the public. SMOKING OUT THE DODGERS PROFESSOR GOLD WIN SMITH, the eminent English his torian and writer on sociology, now and for a long time resident in Toronto, quite fully repognizes the difficulties ahead of Canada in dealing with the question of Asiatic immi gration. Long before the Vancouver riots Professor Smith wrote in the Toronto Sun : A very serious question and one which threatens to involve Canada and the United States in common difficulty— if. not danger— -is beginning to loom. It is that of the settlement of Chinese and Japanese on the Pacific coast of this continent. Both races are in somewhat different ways unassimilable by us. The gulf which divides them from us, morally, mentally and in the case of the Chinese politically, appears almost impassable; at least to bridge it would be the work. of generations. Yet come apparently they wilL Eng land has, in fact, bound us to admit the Japanese by her alliance with them, the fruit of a prejudice against Russia and fear of her designs which might almost be called hallucination. We see in this that the foreign policy of Great Britain is not always identical with ours. Admitting the' Japanese, we could hardly exclude the Chinese, especially, if, as seems; highly probable, a close relation should be formed between China and Japan. Already they are settling here in considerable numbers, way being made', for the intro duction of their labor by the strikes. The influx of Japanese coming here under the shield of the Anglo* Japanese alliance, and hence info the United States, can hardly be prevented and may cause trouble with the American government. : . This is tne clear statement of a man skilled in watching the social and economic tendencies of the times. His opinions oh the subject are very much the same as those that govern in this coun try. We cannot tolerate the immigration in large numbers of races which we cannot assimilate. Professor. Smith draws attention to the fact that of one shipload of 858 Japanese arriving at Vancouver 781 wtxt males and only 77 females*. Such a proportion, involves great moral dangers, and Professor Smith asks, "Will' government ever pay attention to the matter?" ._ v We believe that government both here and. in Canada will take action, but it will need a lot of prodding. The letter of -Sir' Wilfrid Laurier^the Canadian premier,- printed in; The Sunday Gall, was a model of official evasion and dodging. Aye have plenty of 1 4.odgers in this country/too, but they will be smoked out.- DEWEY AND THE' PHILIPPINES ADMIRAL DEWEY says we ought not to sell the Philippines. Although his reasons do not appear convincing, it -is not in the least likely that any such sale will be made- if for 'no other reason than that there is no^purchaserin sight; At the same time an . inquiry conducted by the New York among members of congress and pther people of influence ;shows a strong -sense of discouragement over the results of our national EDITORIAL PAGE Mustachtless Governor* Inspects the Wharves experiment in imperialism. Speaker Cannon, for instance,, says we are "in a mess," and he thinks we ought; to, get out if there was any honorable way of getting out. .' T 'He^ist unable to suggest any st^ch way. Senator Teller of Colorado isays :^:"The Ph ilippines are not worth a continental cuss to tne WUri ited States and never will beC .They are a continual source of ? disquietude and danger." .The results of the inquiry are thus summed: J:- :' ' Thifty-six of the congressmen igreeftHat » the islands should be -sold; 35 think that in justice to the 'Fiiipinos>th;''-\- \u25a0" -- \u25a0;'\u25a0\u25a0" The cost of the Philippines to the United States is ; the. subject of widely different estimates.^ Some jmt it as high as $400,000,000 up to date. Others say $300,000,000, but nobody \u25a0 has exact figures on the subject. T^he white man's burden is expensive, but this coun try can afford to indulge in the luxuries of experiment. We are doing all this with the philanthropic purpose of raising the islanders to a condition of manhood and self-reliance, but we shall never get any thanks from our wards. -^ -...-- Dpwn at Verdugo in the southern part of the' state \u25a0 they are : holding a fete in celebration of a big cucumber harvest.

Miss^Anna Frances Briggs* paper, -"T£e Recent Art Congress in Venice,**" proved of absorbing interest, "and \u25a0• the of the charming young artist doubled the pleasure that her hearers derived. Miss Briggs is fitted "to 'speak on this topic by the two, fold claim ; of her literary *acd artistic^ gifts, and her intelligent treatment of her subject will make . it long remem bered. After her paper came some music songs from Miss Mary 'Newman acd Mies -Louise Smith, both of whom were- -encored.. Miss Goldsmith accom panied both, singers at the planer.
