IT is sixty years since the Argonauts, almost at peril of their lives,
took possession of this favored region. Whether they came the
plains across, the isthmus through or the Horn around, their
way was fraught with manifold dangers. The
grievous history of the Dormer party perish
ing in the snows of the Sierra was scarcely
more terrible than the peril of - those who
risked the deadly tropical fevers of the

of Statehood
isthmian route, where later every railroad tie laid across was said
to represent a human life lost by disease. *
Today the sons and daughters of the Argonauts are met in San
Francisco to celebrate the conquest of California and carry on the
hi^h tradition bequeathed to them as a precious inheritance by' the
pioneers. Materially and morally they are found worthy. They
have not hidden their talent under a blanket, but have put it to
yse with magnificent results. It is perhaps a vulgar test of great
ness, but if we count up the assessment roll of the state we find it
Sgures out above $2,500,000,000 and has in fact doubled itself within
ibout a score of years.
In another sense than the material the commonwealth shows
itself progressive. Its politics move upward to the light and the
state is in the way to be redeemed from an ignoble servitude.
The sons and daughters of California are inspired of worthy
aspiration. They are organized in good causes. In the multifarious,
almost confusing, parade of yesterday one legend of high device
might have been picked out as notable by those who grasped its
significance. It read, "Put the mother on a throne," and this was
symbol of the fact that the native sons and daughters have applied
the machinery of their capable organization to providing homes
for neglected children. Xo higher or more humane purpose might
inspire to action.
San Francisco is proud and glad to be the scene and locus for
this joyous celebration of conquest and accomplishment, moral and
material. The city has done her possible to make the right back
ground for an occasion of so much significance. Ladies and gentle
men from the mountains and the valleys from Siskiyou to San Diego,
from the Sierra to the sea, you are our favored guests. The town
is yours and all that therein is, and, in the* words of the courtly
Spaniard, "May you live a thousand years and may your shadow

UXDER the stimulus of virtual free trade with the Philippines
cur commerce with those islands has more than tripled in
the last year, and the increase has an important bearing on
the business of this port, through which most
of the imports and exports pass.. A summary
of results is given :
The value of our exports to the Philippines
for the twelve months ending in June was nearly
$17,000,000, a srain of over $5,000,000 as compared
with the corresponding period under the previous regime. In the same
time we received from the Philippines merchandise invoiced in excess of
5i7,000,000. Our exports covered a wide variety of products. Cotton and
clothing, all grouped under the head of "cotton and manufactures of,"
represented very nearly $3,000,000 of the total. There is apparently a
period of industrial development under way in the islands that calls for
considerable quantities of iron and steel, builders' hardware, etc., the
aggregate of the schedules of these articles being $3,405,267. The Philip
pines took $884,000 worth of leather and leather goods and consumed oils
to the amount of $620,000.
San Francisco's
Trade With
the Islands
The most important article of import from the islands is Manila
hemp, of which we took $10,000,000 worth of the raw material in
the last fiscal year. Sugar valued at $1,600,000 and tobacco products
worth $1,677,606 were imported. The trade in tobacco is practically
a new thing, as it may be said to have been nonexistent before the
duty was removed.
While most of this commerce comes through the port of San
Francisco, its ultimate distribution is widely extended. Consign
ments, in fact, were made to fifty-five customs districts in the United
States. We ought to have more of this trade, and it is obvious that
the islands make a field that will repay commercial development in
the interest of local business.
GIFFORD PINCHOT, speaking at the St. Paul congress,
described with photographic accuracy the slinking tactics
employed by the interests opposed to the policy of con
servation of natural resources. His charac
terization of these tactics and the hypocritical
pretenses on which .they are based was as
clear cut as the impress of a branding iron.
Thus it ran: *.. '.
Politics of the
Fight Against
Conservation
When any great movement has established itself so firmly in . the
public mind that a direct attack upon it will not pay, the regular method
is to approve it in general terms, and then condemn its methods and its
men. So now the. demand from the opponents of conservation is not at
all that we shall abandon the principle of the greatest good of. us all foV
the longest time in using our natural- resources. The soft pedal conser
vationists merely ask that conservation as applied shall be what they call
rational, safe and sane. Safe and sane legislation, as that expression is used
by the men who use it most, means legislation not unfriendly to the con
tinued control of our public affairs by the special interests. Safe and sane
conservation, as that expression is used by these same men, means con
servation so carefully sterilized that it will do the special interests no
harm and the people no good.
With this explanation people will readily be able to appreciate
the- activity of such agents qT the water power grabbers as Frank
Short of Fresno and their purpose in seeking to confuse, the debate
With a unanimity that is instructive all these agents are 'in favor
of conservation, of course, but it must be conservation by the states,
and not by the nation. Their attachment to state, rights is inspired
by the fact that there is, as the laws now. stand, no such thing as
conservation by the local governments. In California they have
be«n able to seize everything in the way of water powers that was
not nailed down by the national government: When they ask that
these resources shall be turned over in the name of state rights
their desire is not for whatever's right, but for; whatever.'s left/
As Roosevelt said a few days ago at St. Paul: r
There is apparent 'to' the judicious observer '"a distinct tendency on
EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE CALL
A Dangerous Character
the part of our opponents to cloud the issue by raising the question of
state as against federal jurisdiction. We are ready to meet that issue if it
is forced upon us. But there is no hope for the plain people in such
conflicts of jurisdictions. The essential question is not one of hair
splitting legal technicalities. It is simply this: Who can best regulate the
special interests for the public good? < \u25a0\u25a0..:•.\u25a0*\u25a0'
\ The most effective weapon against these great corporations, most of
which are financed and owned on the Atlantic coast, will be federal lawi*
and the federal executive. That is why I so strongly oppose the demand
to turn these matters over to the states. - ~
The people well understand the significance of the fact that
this demand in the name. of state Tights is backed :only, by agents of
the water power corporations like ' Mr. Short and newspapers like
the San Francisco Chronicle, whose*character requires no description
because their reputation is notorious.
The Call believes that ultimately these resources will be turned
over for administration -by the states, but not until the homegovern
ments have provided machinery and laws to handle them in the
public' interest. If they should be turned ' over now there would
not be in six months anything left to conserve. '
THEODORE ROOSEVELT read to his fellow countrymen at
Chicago an impressive moral lesson, one that, unfortunately,
is greatly needed. There are places and occasions when the
Where
Roosevelt
Draws the Line
Roosevelt had sat down to dinner at a table where Senator Lorimer
was a guest it is quite probable that no public note would have been
made of the conjunction.
So much is this the case that the opportunist politician, seeking,
as usual, the line of least resistance, would have taken the dubious
association even if it cost him a wry face, because he knew that to
make public objection would mean the creation ojha host of mortal
enemies. But that consideration did not weigh with Colonel Roose
velt, whom, in all truth, the American people love for the enemies
he has made. May their tribe increase and their outcry be, loud in
the land. We all know the kind. ' \u25a0 .£*\u25a0
Without doubt it will be said in relation to "the Lorimer affair
that the colonel is spectacular in method, that his refusal to sit; at
meat with a man against whom there is strong evidence that his
seat in the senate was bought was merely a form of advertising.
We shall be told in supercilious vein that Roosevelt was seeking
the limelight. It is a theory that implies a strange and scathing
commentary on prevailing social observance and practice. ' If a
refusal to meet in a social way a man in Lorimer's position is spec
tacular and uncommon, what shall be said of the people who accept
the association as a matter of course? . , '
It is the most grave and damaging indictment of contemporary
society that it accepts, as a matter almost beyond question; associa
tion with men under lawful accusation of criminal practice. As
long as we are ready to shake hands with arid meet oh equal terms
men placed like Lorimer, if only they are wealthy, how shall we
expect them to realize their degradation? To men in such; position
the social penalty* is— or rather, should be— themost severe. If they
are treated as social outcasts, as they should be treated, they have
earned the punishment. The strange thing is that the Hamilton
club of Chicago should still tolerate the membership of Lorimer,
even though? lie is a wealthy banker and a United States senator.

Not For Sale
From the Chicago Tribune
Newspaper rivals aed individuals
with imaginations more fertile than
their information is reliable have print
ed and circulated by word of mouth re
cently stories that. the Chicago Tribune
has been or is to be sold.
To these nonsensical yarns no atten
tion has been paid "by the owners of
.the Tribune. ,- v
' The Tribune now learns that a re
publican congressman, who: betrayed
his* constituency for the beneficiaries
of certain schedules in the Aldrich tar
iff bill, is now seeking- political support
in his campaign for renomlnation - by
circulating- a preposterous^ctlon relat
ing to the sale not only of the Tribune
but of other leading papers In the west.
This individual warned some of the Im
portant"politiclans in his district that
in refusing him their indorsement they
were taking: a step in the dark and one
they would rue.
-"All this insurgency in the west," he
said, "is represented-by three or four
newspapers. The fellows down east are
tired of It. They have made all ar
rangements to buy the Chicago Tribune,
the Kansas City Star, the Emporla Ga
zette, and several other papers of this
character and wipe out the entire in
surgency movement."
A statement 1 of this kind, coming
from, one who is an open, voluble and
subservient ally of the great' financial
beneficiaries of special legislation, calls
for an .answer, particularly since the
Tribune knows of itsv own personal
knowledge that less than a year ago
a movement was on foot In. New York,
backed by "these influences,". to buy a
string of, papers across the continent
and thus create achorus which would
yelp in unison whenever the money
lords cracked the whip..
The Chicago Tribune for 44 years was
edited by Joseph Aledlll. Prom humble
beginnings it grew and became a power
in the land. Under Mr. Medill It led in
the organization of the republican
party and in the party's heroic youth
he, through thej Tribune, helped to for
mulate 'its principles and its policies,"
Inspired by. the ideals of human free
dom and national unity.
The Chicago Tribune was the first
newspaper to name Abraham Lincoln
for the presidency, and it was the most
effective and - influential, journalistic
champion he had. Then and th ereaf ter
when Lincoln was doubted, belittled
and assailed on every hand, Joseph Me
dill and- the -Chicago Tribune never
wavered, never. failed in their enlight
ened and farseeing support both- of Lin
coln and of the great principles which
he upheld.', » <
'"'And-* during* the 35 years of Joseph
Medill's life that followed the Chicago
Tribune' led and helped to shape and
faithfully expressed public opinion in
the direction of national greatness, po
litical purity,: personal honor, and the
largest public good.- For these were
the things for which Joseph Medill
stood. ' :
Dying, Mr. Medill left these two ex
plicit injunctions, to his heirs:
-".."I desire that- the control of the
Tribune shall never leave Ate /Medill
family. '\u25a0\u25a0.-.- . ' . .. .; .
"I want the Tribune to continue-to be
after I am gone, as it j has been runder
my -direction,, an advocate of political
and: moral progress I and in all things
to follow -the line of common sense. I
desire the;. Tribune as a, party organ
never. to be the supporter of that party
which sought to destroy the American
union or that exalts the state above the
nation." * ; - *\u25a0,
"; These dying requests always "have
been and always will.be respected to
the full extent of the power and ability
of; those to. whom 3 they '. were addressed.
The .Tribune : has \u25a0 preached 'progress as
it has : seen it and has salted its ideals
with^common sense. : . It : steadfastly has
refused to fly after, foolish ; visionaries.
Equally, it, has refused to maintain or
support whose methods
and morals belong to the polical decade
past and repudiated. ; ; . -
-Of "recent years fth'e political . degen
eracy'of the state of Illinois has been
such as successfully to defy effectual
attack by any Individual or any- publi
cation. - But last! March there came to
the Tribune; ah opportunity to unmask
the enormous .conspiracy s' which '-had
corrupted <J the ; lUinols\ legislature '*!. in
orderi further .'; to '.corrupt • the United
States -senate. V; The :_ evidence ' presented
at .that >time :was \u25a0; not' libel : , proof. With
the .information [I then* at hand :- it was
not aVsafe : thing t to attack \u25a0 the -mighty
cabal' that the overworld and
the underworld of national politics. - It
might: :be .impolitic.". It might

honor. : : /:' \u25a0- \u25a0:'\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0" \u25a0;- .-. : ..-

THE
SMART
SET
THE Crocker ball {Thursday night
recalled to those given to remin
escence balls of other days down
the peninsula when the Atherton
girls were belles at Menlo and Flora
Sharon'. was the hostess of Belmont.
Special .trains were not uncommon
then by any means, but the guests of
an-older 'generation were conveyed to ,
San Mateo or Menlo park in the six- i
ties and early seventies just as they i
were Thursday.
A ball at the Atherton home was. a
notable event. Mrs. Atherton, who
belonged to a distinguished Spanish
family, entertained on the lavish scale
ofthe old regime in California. Her
two daughters, one of whom became
.Mrs. Macondray, the mother of. Mrs.
Percy Mojjjre, and the other the wife
of Major Rathbone, gave many de
lightful'parties, for which the South
park contingent of guests went down
to Menlo in a special train provided by
their hosts. The Horace Hawes place
at Menlo.where Miss Carrie Hawes,
the present Mrs. James Robinson, was,
a vivacious hostess, and the old Oliver
place, where the mother of Joseph
Oliver Tobin gave parties for v the
younger crowd of the day, were
among the\homes where a delightful .
hospitality was dispensed. Some of ,^, ; w .
the belles in those days of crinolines and waterfalls were the two Hamilton
girls, one of whom married Sir Sydney Waterlow and lives'in England, like
her friend, Flora Sharon, who became Lady Hesketh. "
Carrie and Maggie Gwin, daughters of Senator Gwin, were of trie same
set. Their niece is Mrs. James Follis of Sacramento. The McAllister girls
of South park were popular. Their, mother, Mrs. Hall McAllister, grandmother
of Miss Ethel McAllister, who was one of the younger belles at the Crocker
ball, was one of the most charming hostesses of her time. The Tevis girls,
now Mrs. Fred Sharon and Mrs. Gordon Blanding; Blanche Bntterworth,
who became Mrs. Louis Haggin and the mother of Countess Festetica; Lily
Hitchcock, now Mrs. Coit; Clara Hastings, Mrs. John Darling; the Parrott
girls, with their brothers; Winfield Jones; Evan Coleman, who married
Maggie Gwin; Edgar Mills, and Carrie Colton, afterward Mrs. Dahlgren, were
a few of the belles and beaux of long ago seasons.
Perhaps the most brilliant special train entertainment ever given down
the peninsula was the famous Sharon ball at Belmont, in honor of General
Grant, in the early seventies. For this occasion an entire wing was added to
the Sharon mansion, and it was no temporary pavilion,, with a forest of
greens to hide the unfinished details. The walls were plastered and frescoed
in the fashion of the times, and a hardwood floor was laid. At one end a dais
was raised, and there^Gencral Grant and hishost received the guests. There
were lancers and quadrilles later in the "Grant room," and in the circular
empire ballroom, both of them now reduced to the uses of a sanatorium,
which is housed where danced the mothers and grandmothers of belles of the
Crocker ball. . . . ,
