HEXRY T. SCOTT, returning from Washington, reports that
in his opinion San Francisco's fight for recognition by con
gress as the site for the Panama-Pacific exposition in 1915
' is already won. It looks that way to a man
at a distance, and it is encouraging to find
that the people vvlio have been oh the firing
line entertain the same view.
Mr. Scott
en the Expo*
sition Fight
It was not by any means an easy victory,
nor is the battle yet over. Although affairs have a prosperous look
\ve must be careful to guard against overconfidence. " It is evident
that we are opposed by a wholly unscrupulous antagonist, who will
not hesitate to employ any sort of trick that might seem to lend
support to the Xew Orleans ambition.
Our people were a little late m the field when they reached
."Washington, but they made things sizzle when they got there.
\u25a0New Orleans had made an extensive buttonholing campaign, chiefly
"based on appeals to sectional sentiment. This was effective in a
v»-ay as long as it was not met by the array of facts at the disposal
of the Californians. The argument on our side was convincing,
Crushing, and it is having its effect with growing force from day
to day. The California case is unanswerable.
Ihe Aew Orleans people have conceded as much by their
resort to peanut politics and small trickery. To be sure, this policy
-did not profit them much, and Wickliffe and- Rodenberg, the New
Orleans tacticians, only succeeded, in walking into a booby trap
•when they opposed the withdrawal of Kahn's bill appropriating
$5,000,000 in aid of the San . Francisco fair. Theirs was a strange
and stupid example of transparent duplicity that merely succeeded
in exposing them to the contempt of the houSe.
"The significant fact," says Mr. Scott, f 'is that the committee
«n rules has granted us a hearing on January 17, when the matter
?\vill be thrashed out on the -floor of the house." This action! taken
3n response to the demand of San Francisco,' would never, have
fceen taken, as Mr. Scott points out, had not the committee felt
convinced that "a majority of the house favors us."
Our people have made a great fight. R. B. Hale has shown
a marvelous and admirable quality of leadership and has never let
Aip on the work. Father McQuaide has proved a powerful auxiliary,
possessing the confidence of people in exalted station. President
Wheeler of the University of California, Governor Gillett, M. *F.
fTarpey and Theodore Bell have done }'eoman service. Congressman
Kahn has proved himself a good tactician. Governor elect Johnson
did great work with the insurgents of the house, and Joseph Scott
of Los Angeles was on the spot to demonstrate" that all parts of
.California are united in support of the San Francisco project. They
constitute a great band of fighters, any one of them a host in himself.
It remains to keep up the fight until the last gun is fired.
THE Mission district, as one of the most populous residence
and business quarters of the city, is a principal sufferer by the
inferior streetcar service given by the United Railroads. The
facts in this relation were brought out at a
meetuigofthe Mission, promotion association
held on Tuesday night.
The committee on transportation of that
body demanded that .the board of supervisors
The Mission
Complains of
the Car Service
should compel 'the company to A iristitute"schedules that would relieve
|the shameful overcrowding on the Valencia, Mission and Fillmore
3ines. The committee offered to submit such schedules, which will
3)e drafted in the' shape of .'an ordinance for adoption by the board
iof supervisors. There is no doubt whatever of the powers of the
|board to regulate the man'rie'r'and "quality of streetcar service in
Jja reasonable way. lVi ' v
V It was shown, among other things, that ten years ago the
tMarket street railway company, operated 7so cars on lines that are
oiow served by 525 cars, although the population and the travel have
greatly increased. On the Valencia' street line, for example, forty
cars were operated ten years ago' where now there are but twenty
plhree cars. The service has been cut down to the extent of 33 1-3
£>er cent, while in the same time the- population \u25a0of the city has
-teen increased by 2\y 2 per cent. . . \u25a0\u25a0.\u25a0\u25a0\-j'-^f^ 1 :
! These figures demonstrate the fact,' so. frequently stated by
aThe Call, that the United Railroads is -giving, the Ocity a 3 cent
service, and unless a radical improvement* is: made the pay should
be cut to that figure. : ;^ v »'*:'; • \u25a0\u25a0*\u0084-\u25a0 . . .
IY-. Either the city must he given" more* cars 'or the company will

that is exactly the situation with school boards. They, interfere with his •
control over the teachers. They play politics.- They ; reward political
friends by appointments. They make the assignments- ' Jhe teacher
finds the back stairs route to the board room, instead-of depending upon-,
duty, well performed, to obtain favor with the governing authority. . Th* -
teacher looks to the member of thei board with, whom he or she has a "\u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0
political or personal pull, instead of to the r superintendent.- "
It is argued that . the commission could , employ >, a properly
efficient superintendent, who would Jiave full/charge of ,the schools
and no other purpose but to get results without reference to politics.
It need not be disputed that if the commission plan is the best and
most efficient form of municipal government the 1 extension of the
plan to the schools is strictly in the line of 'logic; -But the fact : is
that our politics and our political institutions are rarely logical.
We much prefer a patchwork government. The federal govern
ment is the most extraordinary institutional crazy quilt known to
the civilized world.

interviewed, and he cried aloud, "A plague on both your houses,"
or words to that effect.. He has no use for republicans or democrats
of the contemporary species. Quoting Mr. Ripley's words : • : »'
The people who are boasting of the so called progress in government
are destructionists— nothing else.. Their work is' not building up, but
tearing down. We are struggling under too much legislation of all kinds,
but particularly the so calle'd, progressive stamp. _
The railroads have nothing to expect from either party: As between
republicans and democrats 1 at present' there is nothing to choose. Both
are controlled by the' destructive factions. -' .. -
Mr. Ripley's adjectives were inspired by the simple fact that
the nation has decided to take away from the railroads their powers
of arbitrary taxation, 'which they exercised; so freely while they had
"the right to "manage their own business." This measure is not
taken as Mr. Ripley would have us believe, in a destructive spirit,
but as a matter of simple justice and fair play, so that excessive
rates shall not be exacted from shippers and so that the railroads
shall not be loaded with further issues of fictitious capitalization
for speculative purposes. . v :; '
To this extent the prevailing American policy of all parties is
destructive, and we shall not be persuaded by Mr. Ripley's sorrow
that these practices ought not to be destroyed. . /j

DEPARTING
OYEAR'
The Morning Chit-Chat
1 HAVEN'T forgotten my promise to devote- this
column occasionally to letting you people tell each
other about any unusual ways in which women can
earn either a little pin money or all the bread and butter.
Only you people seem rather backward about grasp
ing your opportunities along this line.
An essayist I was reading the other day says,
"When we realize that we arc children of a common
father, brotherly love is corollary; and when this father
has heaped favors upon us, it becomes an imperative
need of the heart and conscience to divide our gifts
with others."
Seems to me that last sentence ought to appeal to
the women who have been fortunate enough to find
some unique little niche, and compel them to pass along
the suggestion. : V : " \u25a0••\*A VV/ r -»
Here are a few of the suggestions which have come to me so tar:
One woman with mechanical ability is making a good living by making
picture puzzles'. She buys pretty pictures or cuts them out of magazines,
pastes them on wood, and cuts the wood up with a jigsaw. Some of her
products. she lets for so much an evening or so much a week. Some she
Another girl makes a little pin money by taking care of babies during
church time for the mothers in a large church who could not otherwise
attend the services. She 'is given a big room off the vestry and is paid as a
social worker by the church. * : ,i :
She also takes .babies at her home week days for mothers who wish to
} A school teacher who had taught 20 years and was nearly worn out had
the courage to break loose, go to California and 'Start raising beesv ':.."*"
Although she had no previous experience she took lessons from an old
bee man and the first s summer cleared above all expenses $200.
Today she has a profitable business in which she says, "there is far less
hard work than I had expected and unceasing interest in bee doings, and
much time for miscellaneous reading and study as well as the writing of
many letters to inquirers who wish to venture, but are uncertain."
"Any woman with just average common sense can take up this business
of bee raising and make it. profitable," is her opinion of her Vocation. * - /
One of my correspondents suggests. that a woman with gooTd taste, and
thorough knowledge of the shopping facilities in her city, could make money
by v helping young couples and other people who are furnishing a house to
select their furnishings.
What I know of the average young couples' financial state doesn't make
me believe that, as far as they are concerned, this would be a paying ven
ture. But doubtless there is a class of people who would patronize such
a person, especially if her knowledge of shops made it possible for her to
accomplish an effective saving. I com- V \u25a0
mend the suggestion to your attention. \*tx*XX\.. C^ OLrynjunjO^vX^
