The merchants' feast.was a welcome. departure from the accepted thing. It was something more than a pleasant entertainment or an occasion for exchange of stereotyped plati- _J tudes. It was a veritable trade clinic. The knives of the specialists went deep. They bared causes. They pre scribed methods that make for robust commercial health and sturdy growth. •-; ' iThe spirit exhibited by the speakers and the members of the association was in itself splendid promise of better things. Facts were dealt with practically, but a note of optimism was dominant. iThe right kind of "get together" spirit was exhibited and much of itxvas brought out by straight from the shoulder blows which a few months ago would have been decried as treasonable ''knocking." *\ Hen interested in San Francisco and- in" California eschewed buncombe and airy flights of meaningless oratory. They advocated .the adoption of methods that meant bigger and better retail business. They outlined plans for the capture of new wholesale and jobbing territory. They went squarely and frankly into . a consideration of the differences between capital and labor and the methods for the removal of those differences. They pledged themselves to get together for civic improvements, better business and a better San Francisco. They considered the faults of our urban transportation Systems and such measures for their cure as the Stockton* street funnel. ;;.v> . - vV Merchants' Din ner in Reality a Trade Clinic They considered rents, improved streets, ship subsidy, better lunderstanding between employer and employe, and in every instance •were not content with mere analysis of conditions. Genuine remedies •Were offered and indorsed, fj^~ : ; , V . The whole was of incalculable value, but The Call believes that the suggestions for the development of California through intelligent 'publicity pointed the way to the greatest practical accomplishments! Tiie merchants were apparently agreed that San Francisco had too •many civic bodies, doing too little for San Francisco. If they can unite in one great organization, devoted to an intelligent and per sistent campaign for the development of central California, that agree iifcnt will be the first step toward the definite and satisfactory solu tion of all San Francisco's commercial problems. What San Francisco needs most is an organization that will >spcml money intelligently to bring settlers to California. Our job- P* ing problems can not be solved by the advent of 100,000 or 200,000 ew residents for this city. Another half million population secured "in one or five years without a corresponding rural and suburban development will not solve San Francisco's manufacturing, oceanic iracre or labor problems. Indeed, such a one sided influx could serve only to confuse those problems. \u25a0 '"-' -- :: 0 i 7: All those questions can be made to solve themselves if San Francisco can people tlie rich undeveloped lands of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys. Those fertile wastes, lying at^our very doors, can be made the homes of 1,000,000 contented, prosperous pro ducers. The presence of those producers means business for San Francisco ; it means jobbing and" wholesale business ; it means sea and rail carrying; it. means employment and wages that will dispose of the labor problems and that will make us, in fact, the"one million" city that can be realized only by the development of the wealth that San Francisco can handle but can not; produce. t A X Alameda county coroner's jury has severely censured the ZA trolley company for the Leona Heights disaster which cost fi-^-the lives of five persons and resulted" in* injuries "to" two score j others. The jurymen's refusal to absolve the company was to have been expected. The company had endeavored to shift entire rer sponsibility for the accident to the shoulders of the youthful conductor of one of the cars .He stunned by the fault that he freely admitted, was willing t6 accept that responsibility; The findings of the coroner'sjury can not palliate the sufferings of the survivors, but their recommendations, following, suggestions made by The Call immediately after the disaster, may serve to pre vent the loss of more lives in the same way. According to its report, the coroner's jury found that the company operated its road under conditions roughly described as lax. It was disclosed that the cars ran on a t single track without block signals of any, kind and were so crowded that proper performance of their duties by con ductors and motormen was rendered extremely difficult,lif not impos sible. The report declared that the company'denied reasonable pro tection to its patrons by operating its cars on a single track -with many sharp curves without any semblance of a block system. The hopeful part of- the jury's findings is found in the following recommendation : •\u25a0 , We recommend that said company adopt such as will • prevent passengers from crowding its cars, and further recommend that it provide\a sufficient number of cars to conveniently carry its nas sengers. " " We further recommend that in order to enhance the safety of the traveling public the state legislature at its next session enact such laws as will compel all railroad companies operAting : a! single line track in suburban districts (o^ install an". automatic block signal system ' ' Those recommendations are exactly in line; with the policies editorially advocated/ by The Call. The suburban electric" lines handle more passengers than do the steam roads maintaining^gener ally parallel Hues. Frequently the electric cars and trains are run on much faster schedules than the steam trains. The -steam roads are operated under the most exacting safety regulations. ? Except : in the matter of crossing steam lines, the suburban electric lines are Protect Travelers on Suburban Electric Lines EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE CALL The Receiption Will Be Non-Partisan operated without .reference'to law and at the pleasure or whim of a management" devoid of; railroad experience. There ' can be no valid reason for this- discrimination. The suburban electric .line has. come to stay. It is a necessity. -Upon its presence depends largely the development of -large areas. . There is no apparent essential differ ence between the electric and steam lines. The law should give to the patrons of- the trolley systems all the protection it affords. the steam, line passengers. ' v The next legislature will; be quick to respond to a popular demand for this reform if properly \u25a0 presented. One of the, best methods of presentation is ,to put it up to your legislative candi- .\u25a0•\u25a0-\u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0 THANKS to the votes of eight- insurgent" republicans, the regulars or conservatives in the. house of representatives were enabled to commit President Taft's railroad bill to conference. Ihe avowed purpose of the commitment to conference was 'to put the measure through a "smoothing out" .process. The personnel of the committee on con- ference is in itself virtual insurance of ; sortie fine art "smoothing." The house conferees are Mann of Illinois, Wanger of -Pennsylvania and Adams of Georgia. The 'Senate "smoothers" zxp Elkins, Aldricji and Foster of Louisiana;- The demo crats, Adams and Foster, need" not be considered,-, "The people 'have long been painfully aware that Mann, Wanger, v Elkins and Aldrich are to be considered and feared all the time. If they do not smooth the life out ofiPresident Taft's bill, the people and the president may. be pleasantly disappointed. >- .; . \u25a0 In the absence of any apparent excuse for; their attitude, the eight insurgents who- voted to send the bill to conference will prob ably be calle(l upon 'to make -some sort of explanation to the pro gressive- republicans upon whose votes they rely f for re-election. California's one militant insurger of insurgents; Everis AnsonHayes, enrolled himself \u25a0with the eight. : ; : At long range it would .appear that Representative Lenroqt of Wisconsin presented a' method which offered the largest' measure of protection Ho the president and the peopled Beyond question |it squarely met and fully complied with the recommendation', amount ing to an urgent requcst,.conveyed by the president's special mess age. Lenroot moved; that the house accept all the senate amend mentsaiid send the bill back to the upper house with a single amend ment giving the interstate commerce commission power to,suspend rates immediately. That was all the president asked, f0r...- Trie adoption 'of Lenroot's, plan . would have precluded ahyX discussion beyond that involved in a. single point, and that point. backed up; by the'pledge of the nation's chief executive. 1 Now the .whole 'measure is in the hands of a conference committee of which a majority'is consistently and persistently opposed to .virtually everything the progressive republicans advocate. That majority is com posed of the ultra.^conservatives of the reactionaries. :. It 'y may tear the measure toshreds' and without fear of pel-sonal consequences. Party fealty will probably run' agamst;suchextremesV r but party fealty need not be counted upon as, an insurance against emascula tion which willgiye back;, to the: president and 'the ipeoplc^an^ empty shell. If these^justifiable fears be realized itlie eigHt : ihsur£rents who refused to act at a critical time should prepare defenses before returning to their districts'.

HUNGRY PEOPLE TURN TO LAND FOR RICHES City Dwellers, Wc>rn With the Strrugle For Existence, Find Wealth infields . »y fITH the cry for bread upon their Yif- IJps and » in their hearts the* cry y* .tor the independence of' their forefathers, the people of the cities trek to the open places of the west and south, and of this'sudden and vast eco nomic upheaval, Herbert Kaufman, edi torial writer for The Sunday Call, treats In an. article, "Southwestward Hoi" in the June, number of Everybody's mag azine. Kaufman is an economist and views the entire subject along the lines of supply and demand; but being also a writer who delights in the pure joy of language he has molded and fash ioned his topic like unto a tale— the tale of a hungry people treking from the, poverty of the city streets to the untouched riches of the country. To him . the movement is but the back swing of the pendulum. The time was when the city called ami the farm gave; now the farm calls and the city, gives. Summed up,' his declaration is that on the one hand is the over crowded city.. and on the other the un touched soil, and the hungry people go where they may get their daily bread. Of the old cry of the city he says: \u25a0 . v"The- plowboy heard "it and paused midway, in his furrow. And, as he listened, plain and field and forest lost their glory and grew gray and bare and cold, and in their stead arose mighty mental tapestrUj— mirages of fame and power; and his young blood leaped in answer to the summons." Thus it was with the plowboy. and so. also", of the girl: "The girl puddling at the churn," he writes, "and bending over her tubjheard the song and felt the gnawing ache for freedom (rom her chores and bondage. She gazed upon her red and swollen hands, and at her. soiled and faded print, and. then looked across the miles and visioned gay streets, theaters, promenades, lux ury, color; and the mad phantasmagoria roused her to rebellion." : These were the dreams, and, continu ing, he tells of the result: "Eor 50 years the. cities have beck oned, have promised, ,. and - have lied. The • gilt . o' dreams has tarnished, the tapestry grown tawdry. The Circe spell hag held. The sacrifice has been exacted. Fineness and Innocence and morality have -been sold for husks. Virtue and honor have been laid upon the altars of hunger and greed. . .. "One has starved and another has succeeded where failure would have been better. One has achieved where losing would ' have been the greater glory.. They have merged into " the massed millions—^year by year faded into-the average. Tenement and board ing house have engulfed them. Poor food, poor air and- excitement have sapped their .vigor. ; And always the crowd Jteeps growing greater and the struggle harder, the contest longer, the problem more and more one of exist ence—the scheme for riches cheapen ing. Into a search for bread and meat. now THE REVOLT. "The ''reaction -has .begun, 'a mighty leav^n/is at work, a new era is in the dawn, a hew Americans In' the making; the tide Is on its ebb; the soil. is remem bering-Its absent sons and daughters and ia. lifting its voice. In a promise of better things. . ~V ' . . "From cape to cape and coast to coast the nation Is restless! The people are hungry, the millions are poor — worn with the struggle against a .lessening wage and a rising cost of sustenance. Thersecond great continental emigra tion has begun—to the open places of the west and southwest. The spirit of the pioneer Is once more stirring. Fam ily ties are br'eakiitg; the old trails to the west are. crowding." : Before" this flood of humanity, pour ing outward to the open fields, the face of the country changes. The west-'of fiction and fight disappears;. the lifeless plains 'take on life, the desert blooms. Says Kaufman: - 'The killer has, gone and., the tiller has come. The cattle baron is retreat ing before the lettuce Icing. The 80 acre vegetable patch is checkerboarding the million acre range.;: The. irrigation pump 'sings through night? that, hith erto' sobbed with the lowing of herds.

They are not the failures of other states. but chiefly men who. hare found other states failures. Few foreigners are lp their ranks. They axe Americans, the native born,. the sons and daughters of pioneer strain, hearkening to. the Im pulse, which in another day. drove forth their forbears. "They have come, these square jawed Americans, with their families, to make homes and make livings — not to spec ulate at the Ion? odds of the fortune hunting vagabond. Ability. Intelligence and purpose characterize their metnV^g ods; sewerage and schools are the first" things that Qceupy their "attention. When men give immediate care to san» Itation and to education it is an In dubitable earnest of the impulse that brought them Into a strange- region." And yet there i# a demand for the foreign born, particularly of the Latin race. He deals with this point in the following way: "As for field labor, the prejudice against the blacks Is strong and tt-ls by no means confined to the ignorant. The antebellum negro has disappeared and his descendants know practically nothing of • agriculture beyond cotton raising. In the towns they become pestiferous Idlers.
