THE attention of the municipal administration is directed to the
need of grounds and appliances for athletic development for the
rising generation in San Francisco. The cultivation of the body
"~" ' during the years of adolescence is a recognized
and legitimate feature of modern education.
We hear a frequent outcry over the predomi
nance of athletics in the universities, but we
u _ have "not observed that any of these great
schools have modified their policy in any important way. The ideal
of the sound mind in a sound body is as old- as the republic of Rome,
and is no more likely to be rejected now than it was in those days.
San Francisco has playgrounds, it is true, but no playing fields
except those in the Golden Gate park, whjch are too distant from the
homes of the people to be visited on days when school keeps. The
existing playgrounds scattered throughout the city are meant rather
for children than for the uses of the youthful athlete. The play
grounds are admirable in their way and as far as they go, but they are
not enough.
It is always a good investment for a growing city to buy land for
open spaces. They help the city and make life on this
more attractive. The Golden Gate park is worth millions to San
Francisco, and no better investment was ever made. <"
The principle that inspired the expenditure of great sums on the
park lends itself to wide and useful extension. Give the boys a
chance to show what stuff there is in them.
Athletic
Grounds for
Aspiring Youth
THE Chronicle devotes nearly a column of editorial space to the
relief of a "tired feeling" induced by the investigation of Secre
tary Ballinger. This sense of weariness, says the Chronicle, is
I shared by "the president, congress and coun
try," but there is a notable omission here that
we hasten to supply. We venture the surmise
that Ballinger himself is far more weary of the
inquiry than any and all the others included in
The Chronicle
Suffers From
Tired Feeling
the catalogue. Indeed, it may be doubted whether this affliction of
spirit or phase of the political hookworm has seriously attacked any
body but Ballinger and the few who, like the Chronicle, are interested
in covering- up the dark places of politics.
Nevertheless, it may be questioned whether Ballinger will have
reason to be grateful for this appeal of the Let Us Alone Club, which
appears to confound the distinction between Queer street and Easy
street, or is based on the theory that the way to one is through the
other. Speaking of Ballinger's connection with the Alaska coal land
claims the Chronicle says: ~ £.
He was disgusted with the fool laws by which congress had pre
vented development and sympathized with the efforts of all those who
•under legal advice were trying to evade them. He had the personal
interest in the success of the Cunningham claimants which one naturally
would have in the welfare of his friends and neighbors who were trying
to make immey hy establishing a great enterprise of the utmost im
portance to the people of Alaska. '/
We may not dispute this theory of Secretary Ballinger's view of
the law and its observance. It is doubtless published by authority
of the interior department. We have been hearing from the begin
ning about Mr. Ballinger's stern unbending: attachment to the law in
all its niceties, its quirks and its quillets. Indeed his counsel, perhaps
in a moment of weariness, announced with a sense of loud congratu
lation that on the day when the secretary took office "the reign of
law began for the interior department." We are left to conclude
that his predecessor, James R. Garfield, had been a vulgar and
blundering law breaker, if not worse. Now it appears that the exi
gencies of a weary spirit have expelled this theory from a hard fagged
brain. - ,
Mr. Ballinger is changing horses half way across this tiresome
passage. He is, or was,' "disgusted by the fool laws by which
-congress had prevented development" and was in full sympathy with
his "friends" who were trying to evade them. No doubt with his
experience of land office business he expected to make himself very
useful to these same friends, and this timely confession of the
Chronicle, which might be expected to know the facts, helps to
explain why Ballinger and his friends are now feeling so Jired.
This "tired feeling" is not at' all a new affliction. The life
insurance men of New York felt that way when Governor Hughes
put them on the grill before the Armstrong committee. It is the
same weakness of spirit that so recently pursued Senator Allds of
Xew York during the investigation that culminated in his expulsion
from the legislature for taking bribes. The Chronicle had a bad
attack of the saiTle complaint during the graft prosecutions in this city.
Mr. Ballinger can easily relieve his weary spirit. He can. retire
'from office with a sense that he has at least done his best in the way
of sympathy with those enterprising "friends"' Who wanted to evade
the "fool laws." In this endeavor or aspiration he has not been
conspicuously successful and he can resign with an assured sense
.that we are all ready to forget him.
THE brief on behalf of San Francisco in support of the Garfield
grant of water and reservoir rights in the Hetch Hetchy valley
has gone on to Washington for submission to Secretary Bai
linger. While the text or tenor of the brief
; has not been given out, it is known, of course,
that the city's case rests largely on the vested
rights acquired under the Garfield permit.
. j Lj Acting in good faith under that grant,
the municipality has invested a great deal of money in surveys and
purchases of land. In fact, the city of San Francisconow owns one
half of the flow of the Hetch Hetchy valley and could, if so minded,
exclude visitors from the tract. Of course, nothing of ;the sort is in
contemplation, but it would be a gross outrage on justice were our
vested rights destroyed by a refusal to permit work in, accordance
with the terms of the Garfield grant.
San Francisco asks that the government do not cry off the bar
gain under which we have^^ent large sums'of money, acting in good
faith and expecting equaf treatment from theadministration; '

SENATOR DIXON'S proposed amendment to the president's bill
for regulation of railroads practically proposes to put all freight
rates on a mileage basis. The amendment is offered in the
1 supposed interest of Reno, Denver, Spokane
and other cities of the mountain belt. It is
even more extreme than the contention first
raised in the Spokane rate case before the
j 1 interstate commerce commission -., and later
presented on behalf of Reno in the- controversy with the jobbing
interests of San Francisco and other terminal points in California.
The application of a mileage basis to railroad rates would involve
a radical revolution' of long established methods of commerce. Any
disturbance of trade is injurious because. of the expense of readjust
ment. This particular measure would chiefly hurt the railroads
because it would deprive them of a considerable part of their business.
It would incidentally injure jobbing points in California until the
readjustment was completed and it might easily cripple such indus l
tries as the -export of deciduous or citrus fruits, which could not be
carried on by water transportation.
. These industries have been made possible because they'lflled the
cars which' otherwise would go back empty on the eastward haul.
The present system permits the railroads to meet water competition
by giving lower rates to the coast cities, and the increase of business
due to this plan admits of living rates for the fruit and vegetable
shipping trade.
Senator
Dixon's Flat
Mileage Basis
Now if the railroads are compelled to put everything on a mileage
basis they must either materially, reduce their rates from the east to
interior cities or they must increase the charge on freight to the coast.
If adopted, the latter course would necessarily cause an important
loss of business by the railroads., Everything that would stand slow
freight would go by water. There would be a trying period of re
adjustment, but in the long run the coast cities would not "suffer
because a great increase of water transportation facilities^ would
follow the elimination of the railroad competition that now exists.
The railroads, not being permitted to compete asnow with trans
portation by sea, would do less business, and to make even would be
compelled to charge higher rates on California quick freight staples
for export to the east. From this cause all California — town and
country — would suffer.
The Dixon amendment is so radical that it is not likely to be
enacted, but the interstate commerce commission in the Spokane and
Reno cases now under consideration may make some sort of com
promise ruling which, although recognizing the business necessity
compelling the railroads to meet water competition j will yet reduce
rates to interior cities should they be found "unreasonably high. . The
flat mileage basis would of course, vitally injure the railroads and
would- incidentally kill some valuable industries built up •under .the
existing system, and for these reasons may be regarded as impossible.
THE, Fresno Republican finds illustration in recent municipal
elections held by San Joaquin valley towns of increasing detach
ment from national politics and more attention paid to local
issues; It has always been a mystery why
differences of opinion on - the tariff or the cur
rency should be held to influence the choice of a
mayor or city councilman or assessor, but so it
, , ___ was for a long period, and voters were adjured
to believe that the re-election of Constable Stiggins was the one way
to save the country. We quote from the Republican :
To the old fashioned mind, perhaps, the most interesting thing was
the total absence of national party tickets. There was: not.a republican .
or a democratic municipal ticket in the San Joaquin valley,, nor, -so far :
as we have seen the reports, 1 ; in California. It is only a few years ago
that one who advocated abolishing national party -lines in municipal
elections was" regarded as a long haired crank. Now they are -abolished
everywhere and forgotten!;' l . .
Nevertheless, there is developing a distinct party division, in the
municipal elections, but along lines jj of : municipal - parties." In all these
towns there was a good government ticket,. put ; under thatinanie,'gen
erally by a good . government \u25a0 league. .; In 'each case, also, * there . was "an
opposition or liberal party, gen'erally'masquerading "under some name like
"independent or tax payers /'.intended to conceal its identity. >These two
, municipal parties:areralready;so v distinct;as ; to;be : entitled almost' to a
party organization.: The' proposal has been made that^the 'various good i
government leagues federate into a state organization, and it would seem*
that the time is about ripe for-it. . - . ;•
[The. motives that the >. old 'plan * are -easily understood;

wheels of the state party machine, and this -supplied theKnspiration of

RAISIN BROAD HINTS
TO COOK AND GROWER
Fruit Well Kneaded Into the Dough and Absence
\u25a0 Of Sterns and Stones Are Essentials
Relative to some of the most important consideradajis in the proper making of
-\u25a0 ' raisin bread, the following article has been written for The Call.
Everything else being equal, in the
writer's opinion the thoroughness with
which the raisins are worked Into the
very fabric of the loaf, becoming a
part and parcel of same, should be the
determining • point of excellency and
superiority.
It is a very simple matter after one
has^made a dough and put some In
the pans, following the usual course of
bread making, to then poke the loaf
full of raisins. Certainly that is "rai
sin ; bread," but dletetlcally it is not
equal to the loaf that has been so
carefully kneaded as to make the _ rai
sins actually a part of the doughy dis
appearing per se as raisins, but color
ing the dough and imparting the raisin
flavor to. every particle of the loaf.
There is no comparison between such
, a raisin bread and one Into which the
raisins have been roughly kneaded.
.It seems to the writer that the mat
ter of how thoroughly the raisins have
been disseminated through the dough
should be an item for"" the Judges to
Ifive especial attention.-
There may be many kinds of raisin
bread; bread with a few loose raisins
baked on top, bread into which a few
raisins have been poked just before
baking, bread Into which, a few or
plenty of raisins have been roughly
kneaded, and bread wherein, by indus
trious manipulation, the raisins have
been made so much a part of the loaf
that, although there may be half a
pound of raisins to each pound of flour
used, yet, except fo/ the flavor and
brown color of the bread, there are no
raisins in''evldence whatsoever. They
have been lost in the bread and so
should It be.
If I mistake not, I think Professor
Jaffa of Berkeley, in referring to raisin
bread, strongly advocates this very
point of excellency, the thorough dis
semination of the raisins through the
loaf itself.
You can lead a horse to the water,
but you can not make him drink. So
can you advocate "the use of rajsln
bread throughout the country, but you
can't make people eat raisin bread a
second time, after they have once tried
it and run on seeds, stones and stems
galore that the packer of "seeded rai
sins" forgot to remove. You can never
make a success of raisin bread unless

"the raisins used in connection there
with reach the baker and housewife in
proper condition-
In connection with this very point
the baking trade journals last year,
wben referring to raisin bread, laid
particular stress upon the condition of
the cleaned and seeded raisins sent ti>
the trade.~polntlng out the fact that
the quickest way to kill off the use
of raisin bread was to let the raisins
goto the trade in an alleged cleaned
and seeded condition and yet foil of
stems and stones.
Butter, eggs, lard, etc.. may be "off
color" and yet "good enough for tbfl
bak«r," but this will not do with
raisins. Flavors may be subdued In
the cooking and an egg that would all
but cluck it put on the breakfast tablo
would "go" in cakes and none the
wiser. . But the heat of the baking
oven does not volatilize seeds, and stems
and stones; they remain in the loaf ami
have a way of getting under the teeth
and inducing more or less profanity.
What's the 'remedy? The fame of the
wonderful Oregon apple that retails in
the east at 10 to 25 cents each is en
hanced because of the rigid packing
and inspection of those apples at the
point of shipment. When an eastern
buyer purchases a box or a carload of
Oregon apples he has learned to ex
pect only Al goods and he Is never dis
appointed. The system of association
inspection at the point of shipment
insures the buyer against all risk ami
fraud of any kind.
The seeded raisin is the one used In
bread making, and until the raisin
growers of California institute some
system whereby no seeded raisins can
go out unless guaranteed by the raisin
association as cleaned and seeded antl
free from stones and stems, the popu
lar use of raisins in connection wlin
bread making will be at the mercy of
the- packer who sends out cleaned,
seeded and stemmed raisins that ap
proach that condition only to the ex
tent of the reading on the label of the
box.
A hundred pounds of half cleaned,
seeded raisins will undo the work of a
whole page of raisin bread advertising
in the press.
