/^"> OVERXOR GILLETT has written an admirable message
' I t to the legislature and one that does honor to his statesman-
like «raso of public affairs. There was* a vague intimation
* in advance of the message, coming apparently
! from an unauthorized source, that the message
might contain some "dynamite." If 'there
was any expectation of that sort it has gone
down in disappointment. The governor is
\u25a0 , in favor of the ten commandments, his inten
sions* are honorable, nothing more. His message is a guarantee
:of good faith intended lor and not meant to, raise
.\u25a0dynamite. /
The governor's recommendation that the legislature enact laws
•designed to give executive force to the constitutional provisions
relating to railroads is not incendiary. The legislature, controlled
'by such influences as Governor Gillett appreciates, hay neglected
.its plain duty in this regard for twenty-five years, and the intent
\u25a0and purpose of the constitution have been nullified by that neglect.
:lt is a gratifying example of moral growth that the governor has
cut loose from those sinister influences 1 in a moderate way. It raises
a hope of salvation for Lieutenant Governor Porter.
The Call refuses to accept these recommendations of the
governor relating to railroad legislation as the promised "dynamite."
2t is common politeness to assume that the chief magistrate of the
commonwealth means well by his people and is ready to lead the
way in the paths of honesty. So much must be taken for granted
-and need not be examined for high explosives.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. A legislature moving
in the paths of virtue so clearly mapped by their official guide,
philosopher and friend may enact a body of model legislation
designed to bridle the rapacity and check the dishonest practices
of railroads, and yet such laws may lie as a dead letter on the books.
A law is no better than the men who administer it, and in the hands
of such railroad commissions' as California has known in the past,
and most of those in the present, this legislation would be empty
words for lack of executive force, inspired by honest purpose.
If that should happen it will not be the fault of Governor Gillett
nor of the legislature \i that body executes the recommendations'
of the governor in good faith. The vice' of the system as it now
exists lies at the door of the convention plan of politics, which has
made it possible for the Southern_Pacific political bureau to name
the men intrusted with the duty of .enforcing the laws designed to
regulate railroads. If that condition shall be remedied by the enact
ment of a competent direct primary law the blame for neglect to
regulate and control railroads will lie at the doors of the people
themselves. . ..
With these reservations The Call begs leave to offer Governor
Gillett renewed assurances of good will and again to express the
belief that he was never justly suspected of a leaning to "dynamite."
ißather does he shed official oil and balm of rosemary on the
troubled waters.
The Gov
ernor 's Good
Intentions
IT is not too much to say that if in fact Dr. Rosenberger of the
Jefferson medical college of Philadelphia has, 1 discovered a com
petent and easily applied remedy for tuberculosis it is the greatest
and most valuable achievement of medical
science in recent times. Dr. Rosenberger is
reported to have tried his cure on 150 cases
and in hone of these did he fail to accomplish
the desired result. Of course," these tests do
: not constitute absolute * demonstration, but
they go a long way in that direction.
Lay appreciation of the discovery is necessarily imperfect.
From the short description given of Dr. Roseriberger's methods it
seems that he attacks the disease before it has reached the lungs!
It appears. that the tuberculosis germ can readily be found in the
blood before it has begun to work its mischief on the lungs and in
that stage it may be decisively eradicated by the use of antitoxins
'discovered by Dr. Rosenberger. Whether the disease can be driven
out after it has fastened on the lungs the incomplete reports do
not disclose.
It is good news for the human race. There is no more destruc
tive plague than consumption, no' more melancholy and hopeless
form of disease. It afflicts not only those; who suffer from it, but
all who witness the prolonged, despairing ! struggle against the
enemy. We need not go into the figures of mortality. If you want
proof of the wide ravages of this disease look around your There
are few homes consumption has not visited^ When a man- is 'old
and has fulfilled his natural span of life there is -less regret
v/hen the inexorable end comes, but this* -wasting decline cuts off
the young, in what should be their prime,"and herein lies the terror
of this dreadful scourge.

not demand a grant in perpetuity and fee simple! He explains his
position by the fact which he alleges that his 1 views- on the matter
were published in a newspaper, of limited circulation in this city
and elicited no protest from the people interested. Mr. Smith may
be assured that his position in this regard will bring an able bodied
volume of protest now that the facts are known. The protest,
indeed, will be officially and popularly unanimous 1 , always excepting
the extremely limited sphere of influence controlled by. the Spring
Valley company.
The board of supervisors has already taken position in this
matter. The state legislature will doubtless follow suit, and if Mr.
Smith wants any further information as to popular sentiment it
can readily be supplied.
Of course, the Spring Valley water company may be expected to
work as much. injury to the city that supports it as the circumstances
will permit. The corporation has always been an evil influence in
local politics, business and industry, and its* present course is only
one more argument in favor of riddingthe community, of a vicious
and dangerous influence. This is the tinie' to pull together and
back up our representatives who are making the fight before con
gress. The Spring Valley lobby could not pull a pound of influence
here in California, where its motives, inspiration and purpose are
understood. But in Washington the corporation is not so well
known, and money talks. Now, we can beat this lobby, but there
is need for united and energetic effort for the good of San Francisco.
THE three graces of the assembly 'are "Bob," "Phil" and "Jake,'"
and of these the most graceful is "Bob." Time was when
"Bob" sat on the topmost roost in defiance of the envious*
-•"shouldering of "Phil," because at that period
*'Phil" was a rooster suspected of
a desire to fly the coop. But that was long
ago, when birds wore whiskers, and now.
"Phil" keeps- well inside the fence. "Bob"
_\u0084 must come off the perch.
As has been remarked, "Bob" is a fowl of much grace and a
notable gift of tongues. "He has a right 'to his ambition," said
"Bob" of "Phil." "He has been my friend and I am going to be
his friend. On behalf of the assembly, on behalf of the republican
caucus and on behalf of. the republicans of the state I take pleasure
in nominating Phil A. Stanton of Los Angelesl" Surely never was
a more graceful act of abdication performed. It was Damon laying
his head on the block that Pythias might rule the roost.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. It may be tliat
"Phil" suspects "Bob," the self-denying, retiring "Bob," of wearing
a knife in his 1 boot. It may be that the man who owns the hen-j
roost regards "Bob" as a tough and rebellious bird and thinks he
would be_ safer a little lower down. Whatever the facts, the story
runs that "Jake," another feathered songster from Los Angeles, is
|to be advanced over "Bob's" obedient head. Notwithstanding
"Bob's" sonorous offering on the altar of friendship he is to be
turned down again by the. ungrateful rooster whom he exalted with
so much orotund language. As the mad king might have remarked,
"How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless
speaker." "Bob" is king no longer, but he is mad enough to beat
the band. -
'Tis a pleasant little allegory arid .. instructive, but a closer
inspection of these talkative^ fowls will show them with strings
hitched to their legs. They are ;\u25a0 gifted with a lively sense of the
man. with the ax whose name is Parker and whose. appetite is large,
notwithstanding 'he. grows fat and scant o'* breath.-

The Insider
Tells how. one worthy citizen left his sickbed to eat Christ
mas dinner and narrowly escaped being buried alive in
consequence
OXE of our worthy citizens had a nar
row escape from being buried alive
\u25a0as a result of too much Christmas
dinner. He is a wealthy old gentleman who resides with some of his married
children. lie was ill in bed on Christmas- day, but as the family insisted the
dinner would have no joy for them unless "father" was present, he consented
to let himself be dressed and join the company gathered around the festal
board.
The old man ate so heartily that after the plum pudding was served he
fell into a deep sleep and none could arouse him. The sleep was so profound
and so long continued that the family bdeame alarmed, and as ihe hours
passed and father did not. awake they decided to phone for a doctor.
The physician" failed to arrive, but the sons finally decided that the old
man was dead. One of them was on the point of phoning for the under
taker when the supposed corpse. sat up in his bed, where they had laid him,
and in a shrill, piping voice called:
' "I will have a cup of coffee now, please."

Recently she that one of her volumes was imperfect, eight bta^l;
pages scattered through 'it. Therefore she wrote to the publishers to noti/v
them, and received a reply to return the imperfect one in exchange for a
new copy, and to use "the inclosed slip" as a label. It read in the usual
style : "From Address City ," filled out in type and below wa3
the printed address of the University press. The packet was mailed on Mon
day afternoon of last week. Twenty-four hours later it was delivered at
the teacher's address in this city. She tookir down at once to the postoffice
and explained to the postmaster thai it was to go east Wednesday back it

the trio of prize beauties picked by The Call's
beauty critics for the international' contest
some montns ago, nacl Dccome so used to being limelighted that she was
not greatly troubled when the spotlight was turned upon her on the occasion
of her stage debut. Ever since Miss Cramer was placarded "The Prize
Beauty," I am told, she has been unable to walk abroad without being trailed
by the glances of the curious and snapped by the kodak fiends. Just appear

Frederick S. Isham, who is now visiting Cali
fornia, tells a story about Judge O'Nally, the
American consul at Nanking, whom the
author of 'The , Lady' of the Mount*' met in China When Taft and his
distinguished party last visited Shanghai a reception was given in their
honor. The American consul was among those invited, and like the other
gentlemen present he wore a high hat. - It was not the "plug," however,
that the judge had intended to wear. Before leaving home O'Nally told his
China boy to take his best beaver and iron it carefully. The boy took the
hat, ironed it and in addition gave it a coat of — stove polish! "So," says
Isham, "the consul had to meet Taft in hi 3 second best dress hat."

One of Czar Greenway's once star danci"*
men has had to resign from his old pos:ti<^
..,_\u25a0 ...,. v since the new season opened. He gives as
his reason for joining the wall flowers the difficulty of mastering the new style
waltz that has been introduced by the graduates from the high schools and
colleges. The new waltz has lots of "go" to it, but is not graceful and,
being something on the order of the two step, has no charms for the men
who have passed the twenties. The barn dance, 'over which every one is
mad since the Scott ball, is nothing new to the boys and girls who are not
"in society." They have been romping barn dances for over a year, while
the smart set has just discovered it.
