WE may assume that the Pacific slope congress will become
an annual fixture, holding its successive sessions in. one or
other of the important cities of this region. San Francisco
~ has had the honor of the first assembly. It may
'be Portland. Los Angeles or Seattle next year.
Spokane and San Diego. Stockton, Sacramento
and Tacoma all should have claims for con
sideration in their turn and each and all would
rejoice to extend a gracious hospitality to the congress. Governor
Gillctt had a happy and fruitful idea when he- called together the
first of these bodies, which are destined to make history.
JFor a long time in these columns The Call has sought to impress
on the people the virtues of solidarity for the Pacific slope. It is,
a region peculiarly set oft" by nature from the remainder of the
continent, and while its people are as good Americanos as any of
:h->se «>n the other side of the mountains, we nevertheless have
certain special interests which we can best promote by united action.
This is the purpose of the Pacific slope congress, whose first assembly
now sits in San Francisco.
It is true, as Mr. Scott of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce.
put it. that the cities of this region advance with equal step, and
the prosperity of one is a help to all the others. When San Fran
cisco suffered in 1906, Los Angeles felt the effects, amCthis com
munity of interest is natural and inevitable. The prime fact that
governs the situation is that all these prosperous centers of popula
tion, which have scored, such notable advances in the last decade,
as shown by the census — all these cities are not^so much competitors
as customers. The growth of the several urban communities on
the coast makes markets for all the rest for the reason, that their
products vary in the widest possible range. There is no region in
any part of trie globe that supplies such a wide variety of articles
of comnicrce, and it is of the highest importance to cultivate and
promote the growth of nearby markets because the factor "of proxim
ity makes transportation charges so much lighter.
The most vital factor in the future of the Pacific slope will be
the development of transportation by sea. In a large way the
greatest ocean on the globe has been permitted to. lie fallow as far
as its use by the territory fronting on the American coast has been
concerned. Our producers and shippers have suffered in consequence
by reason of the domination of the transportation situation, by the
overland railroads. In this direction, coupled with the provision of
adequate defenses by sea and land, sltould lie the earliest endeavors
of the congress. v v -
Already it has become a vital institution fraught with uncounted
potentialities of advancement and its work has only just begun. t
Potentialities
of the Pacific
Slope Congress
ADDRESSING a conference of bankers, financiers and econo
mists in Xcw York last week. Senator Aldrich spoke of the
measure of currency reform which he had hoped would' be
~" his political monument crowning, the edifice
of a long-life of legislative activity. Pleading
that consideration of currency matters should
be divorced from politics, he said: '
This question, if it is to be decided at all,
— must be without partisanship. It is not and must
not be in any sense a political question. It is a' business question, affect
ing the material interests of the entire people of the United States. It
affect? the borrowers aswel] as the lenders. Do you realize.that the number
of depositors in the various banking institutions of the. United "States is.
greater than the entire number of people engaged in useful occupations in
this country? There is' not a single person iir the. cpuntry who is not
affected directly or indirectly by the wisdom or un\visiionf^of.';our monetary
institutions. . : V^.- ' "
'All .this is very well and quite true, but how -is it possible that
any nieasure propounded by Aldrich shall be dissociated from politics
in the public mind? lie is under suspicion. His affiliations arc bad
and he is regarded by the people of America as the representative of
"the interests*' in congress. More than any other man he is respon
sible for the loss by the republican party of control of the house
of representatives. \
Senator Aldrich presents a melancholy figure. At the i close of
a long and laborious career in congress he leaves public life, under
a cloud, and his pet measure, on which he had set , his heart," is
under suspicion because of its paternity. No matter how wise may
§the bill propounded by Aldrich, all America will sit up nights
king for jokers in the measure. Xo man can dissociate himself
his belongings from his record. lie can not be a politician one
day and a .statesman the next. . WfflSte

Not Get
Out of Politics
MUCH speculation is current in eastern political circles on the
meaning of the election in New York and its bearing on the
national canvass in. 1912. It is counted as the fundamental
fact and starting _ point for national .. politics
that democratic success in a presidential year
is impossible unless the party carries New
York stated Partisans, on that side construe
the results of the recent election as putting
the Empire state in the doubtful column, with perhaps the chances
in favor of the democracy. It .must be said, hoivever, that the
figures scarcely support this hope, as an analysis^ of "the vote in
Xew York city made by the New ail indepen/lent paper
of democratic leanings, will . show, to wit:V . "*
''in the first place, the total vote cast for the republican^ democratic
and independence league- candidates. in. the- city was 539,745,-as compared
•with the 594.809 cast for the mayoralty candidates last ".year. The city is
democratic, yet its vote. was small, like 150.000 voters of lawful

Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and Qhjoi .
Upstate returns in New York show a like. condition of indiffer
ence on the part of republican voters, so that in view pf the ultimate
figures showing a mere plurality amounting to a fraction 01, 1 per
cent of the vote, the republicans have no real cause for alarm over
the possibilities of 1912. V.

WE need not pay much attention to v alarmist, reports'con-
cerning" disturbances on the Mexican frontier. There is a
nestifprons flock of border, ruffians who. scrape up a pre
carious living by inventing or magnifying
stories of alarums and excursions, treasons,
stratagems and spoils on the border, and these
ingenious Muhchausqns need but the slightest
' excuse . for their: pernicious activity/ We may
rely:upOn it tnat on this side of the line Uncle Sam will be quite
able to take care of any disturbance, while- on the other side the
Mexican rurales will make short, work of, the unruly. There is
nothing in the situation to cause alarm. . . ~~ '
The trouble in Mexico, as far as the capital is concerned,' is,
of course, a phase of politics. There is a faction, not immediately
dangerous, which is.opposed to Diaz, and an appeal to race prejudice
or national feeling makes^-a convenient pretext for agitation. Among
a more or less excitable people political action easily takes shape
in violence. Feeling of- that sort is permitted" on this' side of the
border to expend itself without .serious friction in campaign
speeches. It is the difference of temperament joined with a more
advanced stage of political. evolution. * k.

- I hired a toiler whose name was John, to come
with Ms weapons and mow my lawn, for long green
„ whiskers were growing 'there; it
badly needed some tender, care.
And John arrived at the break of
dayT and whittled grass.; in, a
cheerful way; the job was fierce,
_ for the weeds had grown, and the"
dog had scattered some chunks 61 bone, but John,
he labored to beat the band, and shaved the lawn
with a master hand. He named" his price when the
work was o'er, and I gladly coughed up a quarter
more.-- .And whenever I find that my lawn is due
for a good clean shave or a 1a 1 dry shampoo, I'll hunt
up John, if he's still' on earth, and pay him more the joD is
worth. I'll hunt up John if I have to 'trot from the courthouse clear
to the dumping spot, for he does his work, as a workman- should,
and doesn't quit till he finds it good. The streets are haunted by
shiftless men, who seek employment and seek'again;* they say that
jobs are as hard to find as" pears of price in a melon rind ; their hopes
are hazy, their chances gone — for copyrir&t. mo. i* /a* *?y\

THE GOOD

The Morning Chit-Chat
WHY. do men as a rule have clearer and better
skins than women? ~
i I have often heard that question propounded,
but up to yesterday never heard any answer except whim
sical comment^ on the cruelty of the fate that arranged
matters that way. •
: * Yesterday it was asked in the presence of a doctor
man, who startled us by answering:
"Probably because they shave."
"What has"that got to do with it?" we retorted.
"Just that a man who shaves keeps his skin in pood
condition by giving it a thorough massage every day with
a very fine soap and a>brush."
"But why -couldn't." women do that?"
*'I suppose they could if they wanted to."
"And would it really improve their skins?"
"It most certainly would. If any woman who has a -rough, or pimply or
sallow. skin would get a brush and a stick of snavin^r soap or any other soap
as pure and would cleanse and massage her face every morning just as thor
oughly as her brother does when he shaves I'll guarantee she would have an
infinitely better skin in a short time." :_. • .
I am by no means a health and-beauty expert.- -
I tlon't pretend to be able to teach my readers, how to be beautiful
though homely, but every once in a while I get a letter from "Edythe" or
"Violet" or "Amarylis" or "Palechecks" on this most important of subjects.
And the most common question is a request for a recipe for a skin lotion
that will make a homely, sallow skin clear and attractive.
Of course, I can't give that. £'* '\u25a0\u25a0
If I could I should have a fortune ready to my hand.
No one can give that recipe, no matter what alluring advertisers, who
know the feminine public's longing to be fooled -on "this -question, may say.
But if any girl really wants an attractive skin enough .to .work for it, why
not try my doctor friend's prescription for a few months? : • .
And while I am about it here are one or two more beauty hints:
The red. corpuscles in the. blood are increased by -sleep more than by'
anything else. In other words the .best way" to improve your color is- to
get an extra" hour or two of sleep every night. Be sure that you have plenty
of fresh air in your chamber^for .sleep needs oxygen Xo help it in this process,
and every moment that you put in in this way will add to your red corpuscles, jj
Above all things, remember that the best way to improve the skin 15 to
improve the general health, especially the condition of the bowels ana kid
neys, which in their functions are closely related to the skin.
Drinking plenty of water and keeping the bowels in good order will do
infinitely more to give. you a clear skin than the most exquisite and expensive
skin lotion that was ever invented to coax the dollars out of feminine hand
bags. < . m 1^ 4-rk' /^> "

In Eden
Whatever" Is it that mak.es me care
F«r the apples "hooked" from a tre<» back tnw«
Where tbe world was young and my life was new
And the grass grew high and theskles were blue?
! Whatever 1« it that make* me know
When the sun goes down. and the- light? are low.
A something tugging at every string
Of my heart? No singer today can *tne .
A song so sweet as the songs I heard
Poured then. from, the throat Ct a %-ayslde bird I
When winter <romes an<t the days are cool
I shepherd tny though t.+ to a fir- off ichool.
'Where I used to sit In the d.iys gone by.
And I s»e the glint in tb*» teacher's eye
And the thought .of it makes me sit up straight.
And when school's over I go and wait
Beside the road for a girl I knew —
Ah. th* eyes and skies of those days were hln<»:
Through the long, long years eome'the words she
said. • - ; :
And th» apples I "hooked" for that' girl wer»
red:
Oh", the farmer who owned "the orchard wnerV
Tb<» apples grew tout I "Booked" back there
Was a grnff old man. with forbidding brow!
How blind was II But I an> certain now
That his voice that trumpeted far and wtde
And th<» bull-like rushes by which he triad
To catch m* robbing his apple tree
Were the flimsiest sort of a bluff, and h«
Was laughing at me to. see me "scoot."
Half scared to death with my load of frntt!
It Is only because- I now can't go
Down the- orchard patha.tbat I used to knorr.
Can bend tw» more to the. wayside spring. -
Nor hear the birds as they used to> sing.
That I've this longing to go back ther«-
Where the little girl with the yellowhalr
Chewed at the appfe I climbed to get-
She was my Eve:.. I know— do yon?—.
The craving Adam, our forbear, knew!
