When Bell Does Calhoun Politics He Helps Johnson y^^ANDIDATE THEODORE BELL appears to^haveintrdduced I in the going campaign an element of grataitbus and quite !*~z- superfluous . personal ' acrimony which constitutes a grave I tactical blunder on his part. The Call would not be* understood to offer Mr. Bell any advice concerning the conduct of his campaign, but it may be permitted to say, apart from feeling. orlpartisansliip, that the gravamen of his more or less furious ''onslaught oh Hiram Johnson is rather small business. Indeed, the form : and character of the attack rather lends- itself to humor in one way/ while in s another it tends to compromise Mr. Bell by/ reason of the : dubious" t implications that follow from. the sort of company in which he" finds 'liiinself. Mr. Bell, in a word, is traveling, up and: down the country pabusirig Hiram Johnson because, being a lawyer, he^ took pay for * his services to the graft prosecution. .-Mr. 'Bell does not pretend that Mr. Johnson did not earn his money while he' worked, but alleges it as a special grievance that at one periodfof the prosecution '^Ir. Johnson laid down .his brief-because herobrid/ it^necessary to take ot-lier employment. It is not alleged by -Mri Bell that the prosecution suffered because of Mr. Johnson's • absence from -the case- at that time, and Mr. Bell does, not dweft " dri the fact-— indeed, Jlie. does. not mention it — that the instant Mr. Johnson's services were required after Francis J. Heney was shot he volunteered; for the work at once, and as a direct result ;of this service Abe Riief was convicted of felony.. ; : ." . r^Jv', "'\u25a0.:." 'Si . " . It need not be inquired .what Mr. Bell was doing in ail those stirring times. Presumably he was earning a 'living by the practice of his profession/ a right whicfi now he seems to deny to Hiram Johnson.^ He has . one - rule, for Johnson and another for himself. Indeed, his fine frenzies on ; the subject . appear/to be; quite irtexpiicable. •-* r ''"; - - - \u25a0 The Call does not desire to import any partisan or political acrimony into this discussion — it scarcely ranks: as a- controversy— and .believes it has given a fair and reasonable statement of the facts- without passion or prejudice. It would be quite useless to attempt to put a false construction on conditions ., that are quite fully appreciated by the whole electoral body '-of . It is for this reason 7' that The Call declares its belief that 'Mr; Bell is making a grave mistake. ;i / / C/ if r ' • ; :: ::. , The people of California know quite well that; Hiram Johnson look a man's part and .did magnificent service in aid of;' the graft prosecutions. If the voters' had for. , the momVnt, forgotten, the character of Johnson^s work in this^relation \ they -would at this season of debate be convincingly reminded^of it by the hostile and abusive attitude of the Sair "Francisco Post, : which;, is 'Patrick. - lee -P tot or §^ a . n ' published.for'lhe-principal -purpdse'of. working his revenge on all those who were concerned in the endeavor to bring him "tQ justice.* That newspaper, in its clumsy way, is slobbering stupid abuse, on Johnson. It is pretty raw politics, this "alliance between Mr. Bell and Mr. Calhoun. " \u25a0 ' r . The Call would not charge Mr. Bell with making a cpnscious alliance with Mr. Calhoun. It merely points to the support he. is getting from that quarter as "a. symptom of .underlying conditions and as convincing proof that Hiram Johnson, did his full \ duty,^and more as far as the graft prosecutions were concerned. V .: : * ** Mr. Bell can not be congratulated on the dubious character of the support he is receiving from all the forces of reaction" and corruption, and when he impugns ; Mr. Tohnson's course in , relation to.the prosecutions he in a-;meas^e^i<^h^mes|hims^lf V \yithvt& cause. The whole case may safely, be left to the pebpie of California 1 to ; decide at the polls, all the more because. Mr. : Bellns supplying evidence .against- hjmsejf ,by his silly/ attacks on Johnson. : VA•' - ATI 9^ a §?mst the billboard. nuisance; has .become national /-Yj ni^s scope, extending: now. from the east to the ' •.;'' Pacific states.

But many women who realize that a good business 'toad and" indefatigable energy are ' also necessary; are making; great successes -as florists. .Three women in a small town in New York", who are" making T a. very good living, growing carnations chiefly and other flowers aa a. side Issue, tell me of -earning L very much better money than their 'school teacher and stenographer; friends. . \u25a0 ' \u25a0 % . . .. , "I once knew ..a lady, who made a very nice sum of money .by taking care of large private libraries," writes one of my, correspondents. 1 "Her work was placing books in their correct order, and-dusting. them and their. cases* at regular^ intervals— say . once ; a month. • She also took • care of bric-a-brac aird fine articles that could not be -left to servants." ;.; "-, ... - "*- : .i*r-^'i^*^"'*^»vf -That reminds me of a sign* which -Imyself'recently saw" hanging Jn,?^ employment bureau.
