(( O IRDS ofa feather " is the first thought inspired by the
~"\ spectacle of the San Francisco Chronicle flying to the sup
*— * port of Secretary Ballinger. There is no occasion for sur
"n prise in this exhibition of Gironicle policy.
These people know their own kind; they be
long together by nature/.
Thus the Chronicle makes 1 exposition of
_ certain recommendations in Ballinger's report
which it deems worth}' of support:
He evidently also believes that any net revenue accruing from the
pablic domain should go to the states, presumably on condition that the
states should assume most of the cost of administration, and that there
should be guaranty of efficiency in such administration.
The result of this would be that state law woyld run unchallenged and
without hindrance within the entire limits of the state, and the adminis- •'\u25a0
t ration would be such as in the judgment of the people of the states is to
their interest. • , y\ " .'\u25a0 9
The secretary is certainly opposed to the doctrine that the public
domain should be kept in federal hands, and so bear no part of the burden
of state government, and yet that the net revenue from utilization should
go to the federal treasury — which is the essence of the "new nationalism."
Ballinger and
the Chronicle
in Full Accord
On Monday attention was drawn in these columns to the man
ner in which the natural resources of California are being seized
without compensation or regard for public- interests wherever the
federal government has interposed no safeguards. That particular
instance was concerned with the appropriation of the total flow of
the McCloud river for power purposes. A short time ago a similar
claim to the water power of the Pitt river in the same region was
defeated, but only because the land office was able to find a flaw in
the proceedings. The same object had been successfully accom
plished! in hundreds of other cases in California before GirTord Pin
"chot woke up the land department to a sense of its responsibilities..
It is natural, therefore, that the Chronicle should not like, Pinchot
and thinks to discredit him by calling names. Quoting from the
.same editorial :
In matters respecting the public domain Secretary Ballinger is
'doubtless not in accord with the president, and presumably would for
that reason long since have left the cabinet had it not been for ,the tactics
of the rrmckrakers of the Pinchot type.
Of course the president, in common with other honest and sin
cere men. is in full accord with the principles of conservation for
which Pinchot stands. Taft is not in accord with Ballinger at all,
but out of a sense oi personal loyalty he does not desire to dis
miss him in disgrace from the cabinet, i
It is not surprising that the Chronicle should be in such a
hr.rry to throw these resources wide open for public plunder, be
cause that is what must happen if these rights are turned over to
the states in the present condition of California law. When we
speak of public plunder this simply means that the existing law of
this state and the federal laws where territory is not covered by, the
forest reserves permit the appropriation of these natural re
sources without compensation for public* property. If the state
had established a leasing system retaining the fee simple rights to
the property things might be different, but as they stand the only
safeguard lies in federal control of the resources for the present.
BRITAIN'S elections leave things much as they were. The
liberals retain .control of parliament by about the same ma
jority as they had in the late house of commons; but they do
so only by consent of the Irish nationalists,
who may be said to have the casting vote.
Premier Asquith hoped for a more decisive
vote one way or the other, but the result ap
pears to be a conclusion by which nothing
Strange
Comedy of
British Election
of importance is concluded. The verdict is scarcely such as to be
construed as an imperative mandate to make radical changes in the
Constitution of the kingdom.
Something must be done, of course, to limit the, power of -veto
exercised by the house of lords. The present is an intolerable-con
dition and completely blocks all important legislation passed -by
a liberal majority in the house of commons. If every time that the
liberals propose legislation a general election must be called, be
cause the lords' veto compels a referendum of the proposition to
the whole people, that would be equivalent to a condition of apoliti
cal chaos. It would be about the same thing as. holding two presi
dential elections in this country within twelve months. . -
It may be remarked, further, that the course of British politics,
as conducted on behalf of the lords, touched" a lower plane of dem
agogism than anything we are ever likely to see in this; country. The
silly appeal to passion and prejudice founded on the charge that
"American gold" was being used to change, the British constitution
was not unknown years ago in vice versa shape on this side of the
water, but it would simply be met; with" contempt and derision
nowadays. The plea was so foolish-., that Punch, whose sympathies
are mostly on the side of the : Tories; found in i'ifc W fit mark for satire,
thus: - " \u25a0' -
Dollars! Not honest British pounds; riot gay French francs; neither
the unstable Indian rupee nor the unemotional German mark; not
doubloons^ nor sestertii, nor pieces of eight! ; Had he come to buy us
with Russian rubles even, our shame had not been so" deep. But it is
with dollars that his pockets bulge, with*" American (and Canadian)
i dollars that his portmanteau is stuffed. . - .. . : . .
It is a strange phenomenon of -politics, when a petty, and in
sincere plea like this is advanced -by people of the standing of Lord
Rosebery. He is a man of education- and wealth, a noted writer
and has been premier of Great Britain. It is quite, inconceivable
that any man of equal standing in this country, should be guilty ~of
such transparent demagogism.
Lloyd-George hits them hard; he says the tories are like the
savage , tribe addicted to devil worship. They always have some
bogey or evil spirit ready to destroy England. This time it is "a
gilt edged;- bogey ,-;-an~lriShman. framed- in i -.American ,r dollars.". -All
this is comedy in a sense but' it is;not creditablje.' -..to .'the .\u25a0men- '.wJi'cv.in

Money Talks for San Francisco
New Orleans Talks for Money
THE brief or statement prepared by Gavin McNab on behalf
of San Francisco and the' city's claim to, J)e designated by
congress as the site of the Panama- Pacific exposition is a very
readable and .' very human that
should have its convincing effect in the proper
quarter.
This paper differs essentially from the
sort of thing .usually put gut as "literature"^
or propaganda in aid of community projects.. 'It; is not; likely to;
bring up in the common morgue for such efforts which ; people call:
the waste paper basket. To quote: \u25a0 ' . >; . •
It is absurdly inconsistent— irony is. in fact, impotent before the
suggestion — that the greatest marine "event in history, whereby the navi
gation of the globe is changed forever, shall he commemorated by the
nation performing the act at an inland city where the great triumphs' of
modern naval architecture of peace and war can not display.
All the world laughed when, in "Pinafore," Gilbert wrote, and Sullivan
sang, of- England's navy:
"Oh, landsmen all, if you would be
The ruler of the queen's navy; \u25a0
Stick close to your desks and
Never go to sea, .-''„''
And you'll all be the rulers;
Of the queen's navy." ",\u25a0'•' .
With so much by way of introduction, the writer proceeds to
solid argument. Referring to the proposition to hold the exposition
in an out, of the way place like New Orleans there is this:
The European traveler will visit the exposition sailing through the
canal. He will behold the exposition -and the canal.. The great project
will be of immediate use. Tens of thousands -will use it in visiting the
exposition which it has brought into being. No exposition held else
where will do this. At no other suggested place does the canal itself
actually become part of the exposition. In fact, the canal is in no wise •
connected with any other arrangement. :
The Panama canal should be made the most important and,im
pressive exhibit of the exposition and this can be done^ only by hold
ing it in San Francisco. • \u25a0
There is. not space here for the general scope of- argument ad
vanced by Mr. McNab and our people are mostly^ familiar with its
details, but we may say that the case, for San. Francisco is pre
sented in a highly effective manner. "

BLAINE— A. S . M., City. Frank
Storer of the Elmhurst Review has
kindly furnished the following answer
to your question about the eulogy of
Blame. in which he is called "that
learned Rupert of dob&te":
The quotations arc- not from Ingersoll. but
from the silver tongued orator, Thomas Fitch.
They were In the opening passage of the speech
delivered at Union hall. San Francisco, on ' the
evening of June 21, 1878, at a republican mass
meeting called to ratify the nomination of
Rutherford B. Hayes for the presidency. James
0. Blame was the lending candidate. . but was
defeated by Hayes. The entire passage should
be read to appreciate the quotations referred
to. Fitch said:
"But" before I speak of the principles pre
sented and the candidates offered ; for our sup
port, let me jrlve brief utterance to the feeling
that alls the hearts of many thousands of earnest
republicans who dwell in this Golden State; and
who — from- among the northern Sierras and by
the Bummer seas., from treasure veined hills and
waving plains, and evergreen forests and busy
streets — send a message of love and greeting to
him who is 'lessor than Macbeth, yet greater,*
to the fiery and unconquerable Rupert- of debate,
the chivalrous white plumed Navarre .of the
platform, the sagacious statesman, the great
hearted learler, the gifted, the gallant, the glo
rious Blame." \u25a0 , '

The Morning Chit-Chat
Ql AW the first of the winter ostrich* girls the other
What's a winter ostrich girl?
Why, just one of those silly little ladies who thinks
to keep warm by burying the top of herself in warm
furs and broadcloths away from the attack of the cold
and leaving her poor Httle feet clad just as they are in
July.
This specimen had a big cuddly shawl fur that
made you warm just to look at it, a fur toque and —
yes, actually — fur lined gloves, while on her feet were
a pair of high heel suede patent leather pumps and the
thinnest of lisle stockings.
I just longed to tell that girl two things.
Firstly, that she was tempting providence.
At which she would probably have laughed.
Secondly, that she looked absolutely silly.
At which she would doubtless have been very angry.
But it would have been just as true as the other all the same.
For some reason or. other — the psychology of it is quite too deep for
me — a great many young girls' seem to think that it is smart and attrac
tive looking to wear abominably thin clothes in winter.
I remember that in my schoolgirl days it used to be considered a sort
of patent of nobility to wear the same clothes . in winter as you did in
summer, and that all the girls,. -who dressed themselves with any regard
to the seasons were looked down upon as "old fashioned."
And the smartest thing of all was to wear these low shoes and gos
samer stockings all winter.
Personally I think it looks just the opposite from smart. T think a
girl with such out of season footgear looks really poverty stricken, as
if she could not afford any winter shoes and had to make her summer
ones do. I feel like offering to buy a nice heavy pair of boots for her.
How I'd like to try that some time with some stylishly dressed "missic."
Only I'm afraid I'd better have an ambulance at hand.
\u25a0 Every one acknowledges that part of the beanty of any garment is its
appropriateness. The prettiest gown is spoiled by being worn on the wrong
occasion. No one can dislike the feeling and appearance of high shoes
as compared with low shoes any more thoroughly than I do, but that
doesn't make me blind to the fact that, shorn of the element of fitness by
the winter season, low shoes are no longer pretty.
Let me ask, some of the pump devotees something.
What's yotfr favorite kind of furs? Let's say black lynx. It's mine.
so I think of it first. Then, you regard a magnificent set of silky blacky
lynx furs as something very much to be admired. Now, if next July you ]
should see a woman coming down, the street with a muslin gown and a a
handsome set of black lynx, would you call her a well dressed woman? •
Of course there are a lot of things that I might tell you that the doc
tors say about thin shoes, how much more ill health they are the cause of ,
than the much tooted corsets ever thought of being.
But that probably wouldn't interest yoa.
\u25a0 m That argument would merely appeal to your common sense, while this
is aimed at your desire to look well. "'\u25a0 .N . _^
So I rest my case on this. V*tVjJul\. G CWTLAfljrv**.
LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
WHY XOT GnAXT FRANCHISE*
Editor The Call: Mr. Black of th©
United Railroads insists '. that over
crowding during rush hours is com
mon to all large cities and that it Is un
avoidable.'ln point of fact, it is com
mon only to those whose streetcar
service is not supplemented by steam or
electric trains sufficient to relieve the
pressure' on the streetcars.
Take Oakland, for example. Besides
her streetcars she has the model Key
Route, the Southern Pacific with sev
eral lines of tracks and now the Santa
Fe and "Western Pacific. Every day do
these lines convey to or near their
homes thousands of Oaklanders and
San Francisco "commuters." And it ts
just this supplemental transportation
that Is giving some of the cities across
the bay such an. ad vantage over us.
There are two lines of track clear to
the southern borders of the city with
spurs or recently expired franchises for
spurs toward the Sunset district. This
reArence, of course, is to the Southern
Pacific and Ocean Shore railways. For
years the Southern Pacific has talked
of electrizing it almost disused
branch through the Mlsison and run
ning electric trains to San Mateo. Why
not encourage it in every way to do
so under reasonable restrictions? Why
not make any future concessions it
may ask of the city conditional on its

Interest unvoiced. And by a vote of 3
to 7 the renewal of the franchise, was
re-fused.
There are times when we must reg
ulate the public service corporations.
There are times when we must disci
pline them.. But at other times the
public welfare requires that their plans
should be fostered and favored. In my
opinion the late application of the
Ocean Shore was one of those times*
And It Is to be hoped the supervisors A
will ere long reconsider their late ac- -
tlon and renew that franchise. For.
as^above stated, our imperative need
is supplemental transportation at the
earliest possible date. Yours respect
fully. JOHN CHETWOOD.
