Weekly Gazette ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1902. Editorial Note and Comment I hear that John P. Greeley, of whose candidacy for nomination as the Republican candidate for state superintendent of public instruction we have all along been hearing the best reports, has requested that he be permitted to name the Orange county delegation to the State convention, to the end that he may be enabled to use them as a "trading delegation" for this or that candidate for the governorship. In a word, if I am correctly informed, the proposition seems to be to subordinate the governorship to his contest for school superintendent. More in sorrow than in anger is it that I say the Republican party of Orange county will consent to nothing of the kind. Orange county is for Greeley for state superintendent all right; but this scheme—if indeed reports concerning it have any foundation in fact—is preposterous. The Republicans of this county have some very positive opinions upon the question of the gubernatorial nomination, and I greatly doubt if anything but a solid Gage delegation will be selected to go to Sacramento next month. The nomination for school superintendent must be subordinated to that of the governorship. There is not a Republican in the county, I venture the assertion, who does not hold that view. I have the best of feeling for tion. Only the fact that Mike was carrying some newly purchased schoolbooks home to his children—only this circumstance accounts for his living today, for while some of the bullets found a lodgment in his body, others spent their force against the books over the region of the heart. Mike's body fell almost upon the identical spot where the body of his brother Charles lay weltering in his own blood, pierced by the pistol balls of the son of Kaloch, whom De Young had himself attempted to foully assassinate some days before. This Chronicle outfit is a nasty lot. It is streaked with infamy. Nothing respectable in its home town thinks of associating with it. Now Spreckels has lowered himself to lie in the same political bed with it. Are these two men to be permitted to rule the party of Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley? Surely not! Surely not! Jim McFadden has been in Washington, where he won the postoffice handicap, with Sarsaparilla Shaw up, the Grand Army, with Alexander up, coming in a close second. There is no use talking, Jim has been down on the veterans this year, and has been a material factor recently in the undoing of two of them. Politics make strange bedfellows, to be sure! Four years ago Jim done trun Sarsaparilla down, but since then Deacon McPhee has been taken with cirrosis of the liver, and Jim has changed his system. He now plays Shaw to win, McPhee to lose. Many changes have been brought into politics in the town by the WHEN IT COMES TO MORAL AMERICA IS AH! No Country in the World Where Worth Is So Reverenced, and Whom Gambling Is So Frowned Upon BY FRANCIS E. CLARK, D. D. [CONTRIBUTED TO THE GAZETTE] If America cannot take the very rank in manners, she certainly will take no second place in morals. Not say this because pride blinds the defects of my own country. Recognizing them all and depressing them all, yet, after many years travel in many lands, I can say there is no country where temperament is so strong, where woehood is so reverenced, where one of the stock exchanges, gambling frowned upon; no land where towns and small communities, at in which the old town-meeting presides have a political life that is pure more unaffiliate. These are unqualified words, believe they can be substantiated. TEMPERANCE SENTIMENT. Certainly in the strength of its perance sentiment America leads world. There are no such large areas in any other land as in the United States and Canada; for, when I of America in these articles, I used word in the large sense as embroider all the territory from the north pike the Rio Grande. A most refreshing change that American finds on returning to her land from a foreign sojourn is the sence of women behind and before liquor bars. I suppose that in Britain nine-tenths of the strong is served by barmaids, and a very siderable portion of it is drunk women. The open door of every saloon and every hole-in-the-wall gery shows a woman working ther- is proposterous. The republicans of this county have some very positive opinions upon the question of the gubernatorial nomination, and I greatly doubt if anything but a solid Gage delegation will be selected to go to Sacramento next month. The nomination for school superintendent must be subordinated to that of the governorship. There is not a Republican in the county, I venture the assertion, who does not hold that view. I have the best of feeling for Greeley, and sincerely hope that he may win the nomination. But, if these reports concerning a "trading" delegation are true, I doubt if he has been making much progress in his campaign. In some if not all of the supervisor districts, the names of delegates have already been determined upon. To a man, so far as I have been able to learn, they are for Gage first, and John Philip second. With reference to the place for holding the Congressional convention, I rather lean to the opinion that Sacramento is the proper point for it this year, and that the River-side idea, of meeting at the State capital and then adjourning to some place within the district, would impose unnecessary hardship, both in the matter of time and expense, upon the delegates. Ordinarily the course to pursue would be to follow the rule and call the convention to meet at some point within the district; although in the very nature of things that course is impossible this year. The formation of the Eighth Congressional district, excluding it does a number of counties previously with us in the Seventh, and including other counties previously in the Sixth with Los Angeles, has nullified the authority of the congressional committee, at least in this district, and its authority thus becomes superseded by the State committee which has decreed that the delegation to the state convention, from each county in the affected district, shall be constituted the delegation to the congressional convention. The meeting-place of the former having been fixed at Sacramento, it follows the meeting-place of the latter must also be there. To ask the delegates immediately to adjourn to some other point would impose upon them, as I say, unnecessary burdens of time and money. Unless some very good reason exists therefor, it is to be doubted if delegates will stand for it. The argument that Los Angeles will hold its congressional convention at Pasa- up, coming in a close second. There is no use talking, Jim has been down on the veterans this year, and has been a material factor recently in the undoing of two of them. Politics make strange bedfellows, to be sure! Four years ago Jim done trun Sarsaparilla down, but since then Deacon McPhee has been taken with cirrosis of the liver, and Jim has changed his system. He now plays Shaw to win, McPhee to lose. Many changes have been brought about in politics in the town by the sandy river's side, and people are now hand in glove who formerly did not acknowledge a nodding acquaintance at the racetrack. Like Balky Mules Oceanside Blade The San Francisco Call people seem to have fallen down on the loudly heralded charges against Gov. Gage. When given an opportunity of proving their charges before the prison directors they have a chill in their pedal extremities and back down ignominiously. Likewise a summons come into court for the same purpose finds them pulling back like balky mules, and their ardent desire for making good their statements is changed to a hysterical and desperate attempt to escape the clutches of the law. Where Is Smith At? Riverside Enterprise Recently there came to us by way of the Los Angeles papers a news item to the effect that a Henry T. Gage club had been organized in Bakersfield, and among those who were down on the bill as having "also spoken" was Senator Smith, candidate for congress to represent the new Eighth district. Senator Smith not only put the seal of his approval upon the Governor's candidacy by joining this political organization in the Gage behalf, but he is stated to have occupied a leading place at the feast and to have been one of the chief "rooters." As we recall, it is but a short time since that the Senator was playing with the Flint people, and in his journeys over the district was invariably piloted about by recognized and accredited Flint lieutenants. One on the outside is led to wonder now whether Flint has joined the Gage forces, or if not, where is Senator Smith really at? Roosevelt Will Come West President Roosevelt says he will visit California and the coast during the coming year. This statement was made to Congressman Metcalf and City Auditor A. H. Breed of San Francisco, and this word Mr. Breed brings back with him upon his return from the East. In the course of his eastern trip Mr. Breed visited Washington and while there called upon Congressman Metcalf. The Congressman took the City Auditor to the White House and introduced him to the President. There was a short conversation, in which Mr. Breed expressed the hope that some upstairs change that American finds on returning to his land from a foreign sojourn is to sence of women behind and before liquor bars. I suppose that in Britain nine-tenths of the strong men served by barmaids, and a very siderable portion of it is drunk women. The open door of every saloon and every hole-in-the-wall gery shows a woman working there pump or decanting the spirits, as of these open doors you see re froway, blear-eyed, besotted old people who have been sent to hell by their fiend before they die. Thank God, these are sights rarely seen in America. It must be acknowledged that liquor problem is a much less one on the continent of Europe than English-speaking lands on both of the sea. The drinks are as much lighter, and however much they may work, they do not bring the people as in our own country; cannot be gainsaid by impart servers. Even Russia, which used to sidereed the most drunken counters world, has recently reformed notable way, and drinking at bar in St. Petersburg and many cities is almost unknown. The vodka, the Russian substitute for key, is a government monopoly sold only in the "original pack corked and sealed," and it can drunk on the premises. The habit of treating is unknown, and amount of drunkenness, I am told been very largely diminished new regulations. The Russian peasant has a hand and novel method of extracting contents of his "original pack." When he emerges from the door dispensary with his little vodka, which has cost him a pecks, since he is usually not corkscrew, he rubs the seal from the cork against a post or tree; then, as he gives tom of the bottle a quick blow palm of his hand, the strength liquor does the rest, the corkthe peasant mumbles a prairie thanks, crosses himself, swallows vodka and goes on with his woo-lulated if not refreshed. THE NORWEGIAN SYSTEM The Norwegian system of administration has its advantages and vantages. It insures pure liquorulates the amount that may be by any one, eliminates the elec personal profit, and furnishes profits many cheap and good rants, reading-rooms, etc. But it puts the seal of respect and government sanction to business, and does not dim consumption of liquor beyond point, though it is vastly better than American saloon systems treating its carousing and its ably bad political influence.

The spectacle of Mike de Young and Johnny Spreckels doing dirty politics in the same bed together, recalls the fact that Spreckel's brother, not so many years ago, shot Mike de Young down in his own office and left him for dead.

In the course of his eastern trip Mr. Breed visited Washington and while there called upon Congressman Metcalf. The Congressman took the City Auditor to the White House and introduced him to the President. There was a short conversation, in which Mr. Breed expressed the hope that some day California would be permitted to entertain the President. "I hope so, too," replied Mr. Roosevelt. "I shall visit California and the coast next year sure." It is expected that Congressman Metcalf will bring some definite news of when this visit is likely to occur, for it is well known that President Roosevelt has a high opinion of the Oakland Congressman, and if there is anything official to be given out in regard to the proposed trip it will probably come through Mr. Metcalf.

IN IT COMES TO MORALS AMERICA IS AHEAD country in the World Where Womanhood Is So Reverenced, and Where Gambling Is So Frowned Upon BY FRANCIS E. CLARK, D. D. CONTRIBUTED TO THE GAZETTE. America cannot take the very first manners, she certainly need no second place in morals. I do pay this because pride blinds me to defects of my own country. But, ignizing them all and deploring all, yet, after many years of living in many lands, I can say that is no country where temperance is so strong, where womanhood is so reverenced, where, outside the stock exchanges, gambling is so seduced upon; no land where country is and small communities, at least, which the old town-meeting prevails, a political life that is purer or unuselfish. These are unqualified words, but I love they can be substantiated. TEMPERANCE SENTIMENT. Certainly in the strength of its temence sentiment America leads the world. There are no such large "dry" states in any other land as in the United States and Canada; for, when I speak America in these articles, I use the word in the large sense as embracing the territory from the north pole to Rio Grande. Most refreshing change that an American finds on returning to his own home from a foreign sojourn is the abode of women behind and before the bar bars. I suppose that in Great Britain nine-tenths of the strong liquor served by barmaids, and a very considerable portion of it is drunk by men. The open door of every gilded room and every hole-in-the-wall groggy shows a woman working the beer-warey insults of the gorgeous officer in gold lace or the dude who has as little brains as the head of the cane he sucks. IMPROVING AND RETROGRADING. It must be said, however, that Continental cities are improving in decency. There is not b, any means the same number of indecent pictures or suggestive articles staring one in the face from shop windows that used to be seen a dozen or twenty years ago. While Europe has been improving, America has been retrograding, I fear. Our theater posters have been growing more broad and vulgar, and our penny dreadfuls more dreadfully unclean. There is no European watering-place that would tolerate today such indecencies as I have seen in Saratoga within a year, and, unless the city fathers of that famous resort bestir themselves, they will have the unenviable reputation of governing the most vulgar town on earth. To the shame of Christian civilization it must be said that in the outward manifestation of decency some heathen nations far surpass us. The advertisements of corsets and underwear which we regard as entirely innocent shock the Chinese convert, and if a theater poster or suggestion of the nude in art reaches the Celestial empire the average Chinaman regards it as not only extremely bad taste, but shockingly immoral. However much conventionality may modify our views and render innocuous some of these things, it would not at all harm many of our makers of cheap pictures to take a leaf out of this Chinese note-book, and make their illustrations conform more to the standards of Oriental decency. GAMBLING. In the matter of gambling, the third in the trio with intemperance and licentiousness, it can be said without qualification that America is decidedly GOV. GAGE: A SURE WINNER San Francisco and Los Angeles Counties Are Solid For Him, as Well as Other Large Counties—Gage Sweeps Kern Indications point unmistakably to a sweeping victory for Governor Gage in the primaries which are to be held in San Francisco August 12. His opponents concede him a substantial majority of the delegation, and shrewd political observers express their belief that he will carry every district in that city. The hope of the governor's opponents has been, first, that Republican leaders would become involved in factional fights, and, second, that the so-called Primary league would prove strong enough at least to capture a considerable part of the delegation. These expectations are doomed to disappointment. With the exception of Spreckels and the Primary league, all elements among San Francisco Republicans are united and harmonious. Ruef is the head of the opposition, and evidences are not lacking that he, too, may see the futility of continuing the fight, and may climb into the band wagon while there is still time. Recent developments have shown that he has lost his hold on the labor vote, upon which he placed his chief reliance. The Union Labor central club recently adopted resolutions declaring in emphatic terms that the Labor party is not in sympathy with the Primary league. A delegation was appointed to wait upon Mayor Schmitz and demand that he choose between Ruef and the Labor party. Since Schmitz' election both he and Ruef have repeatedly affirmed that they are still loyal to the Republican party, and this has led to much hostile comment among Labor leaders, who regard this as an open desertion of the workingmen, by whose votes the municipal election last fall was carried. most refreshing change that an American finds on returning to his own home from a foreign sojourn is the abbreviation of women behind and before the bar bars. I suppose that in Great Britain nine-tenths of the strong liquor served by barmaids, and a very conducible portion of it is drunk by men. The open door of every glided room and every hole-in-the-wall grog shows a woman working the beer-purge or decanting the spirits, and out these open doors you see reeling, fuzzy, blear-eyed, besotted old hags, have been sent to hell by the liquor lad before they die. Thank God, these are sights that are only seen in America. It must be acknowledged that the poor problem is a much less serious one on the continent of Europe than in English-speaking lands on both sides of the sea. The drinks are as a rule much lighter, and, however much evil they may work, they do not brutalize people as in our own country. This not be gainsaid by impartial observers. Even Russia, which used to be conceived the most drunken country in the world, has recently reformed in a stable way, and drinking at an open St. Petersburg and many large cities is almost unknown. The sale of kaka, the Russian substitute for whiskey, is a government monopoly. It is held only in the "original package," locked and sealed, and it cannot be drink on the premises. The baleful habit of treating is unknown, and the count of drunkenness, I am told, has been very largely diminished by the new regulations. The Russian peasant has a curious novel method of extracting the contents of his "original package." When he emerges from the doorway of his dispensary with his little bottle of kaka, which cost him a few coocks, since he is usually minus a kaksorew, he rubs the sealing-wax from the cork against a convenient rest or tree; then, as he gives the bottom of the bottle a quick blow with the palm of his hand, the strength of the liquor does the rest, the cork flies out, the peasant mumbles a prayer of thanks, crosses himself, swallows his skinka and goes on with his work, stimulated if not refreshed. THE NORWEGIAN SYSTEM. The Norwegian system of state regulation has its advantages and disadvantages. It insures pure liquors, regulates the amount that may be drunk by any one, eliminates the element of personal profit, and furnishes with the profits many cheap and good restaurants, reading-rooms, etc. But it puts the seal of respectability and government sanction upon the business, and does not diminish the consumption of liquor beyond a certain point, though it is vastly better than the American saloon system with its creating, its carousing and its unspeakably bad political influence. The Union Labor central club recently adopted resolutions declaring in emphatic terms that the Labor party is not in sympathy with the Primary league. A delegation was appointed to wait upon Mayor Schmitz and demand that he choose between Ruef and the Labor party. Since Schmitz' election both he and Ruef have repeatedly affirmed that they are still loyal to the Republican party, and this has led to much hostile comment among Labor leaders, who regard this as an open desertion of the workingmen, by whose votes the municipal election last fall was carried. Many prominent Labor men declare that Schmitz will lose his popularity with the unions unless he throws Ruef overboard. Even that dubious assistance, the support of the Call and the Chronicle, does not seem to be at Ruef's command, for both papers were mere catpaws in the last city campaign, and they are now very distrustful of their former ally. Unless a radical change in the situation occurs very soon, Ruef and the Primary league will not carry a single district in the city. In that event San Francisco's 176 delegates will be for Gage. By the overwhelming majority of over five to one the Gage contingent in Kern county in the primary elections on Saturday defeated the Flint forces. The victory for Gage came as a surprise to the voters as it was thought by the uninformed Flint would carry the county. Several weeks ago a pro-Gage club was formed and since that time these forces have been at work, with the above stated results. Flint was backed by Senator S. C. Smith's friends, who seemed confident they would win; but the Gage men carried the day overwhelmingly. Ed. R. Graham was unanimously elected by Gage's supporters, there not being one vote cast against him in the whole Oil City precinct. Reports from Randsburg state that the whole county in that vicinity was carried, by Gage, but the exact figures are not known. Similar reports are received from Caliente and Keene. All tickets were voted straight and but one was reported split. The total number of votes cast in Bakersfield was 531; for Gage 421, for Flint 110. Los Angeles county is practically solid for Gage. He will also have Alameda, Sacramento, Humboldt, as well as many other counties, including practically all of Southern California. Should the state convention be held tomorrow he would undoubtedly be nominated by acclamation. STATE OF OHIO,CITY OF TOLEDO, LUCAS COUNTY, FHANK J.

When we come to social evils, America has reason to be proud that the New World has advanced so far beyond the Old World. Not that there is not loathsome vice enough in all our great cities, but it is under the ban of public opinion as nowhere else. In many European capitals it is not only winked at, but it is condoned as a necessary adjunct of modern civilization. In Vienna and many of the German cities the cafes are dens of inquity. Brazen women take their seats in otherwise respectable places, waiting for their victims, unreproved by public sentiment and unmolested by the police, and in some countries such as thing as an irreproachable chambermaid or waitress is an unexpected anomaly. BRITISH MORALS. In Great Britain the sentiment about these things is very much the same as in America, though undoubtedly London is more brazenly wicked than any city on the Continent. There vice is driven upon the street, and the police apparently make it no concern of theirs how many drabs fasten upon the guileless youth or how many snares are laid for his feet. But in Britain, as in America, the heart of the people is not corrupt; pure womanhood is revered, and an innocent girl could go from Land's End to John o'Groat's as she could travel from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon without being insulted. Far otherwise is it in many Continental cities. The twilight hour must see every decent woman housed if she has no escort, and even in broad daylight a girl walking alone is subject to the Emperor William to J. Pierpont Morgan. "The United States has long been the debtor of Germany in science and German methods," replied Morgan. "I should be sorry to think we could not give something in return." This is a fragment which began the long conversation between Emperor William and Morgan sitting on the deck of Morgan's yacht Corsair Thursday. The talk took a long range, from yachting, a congenial subject to both, to business. His Majesty saw Morgan three times during two days. Morgan, P. A. B. Widener, Clement A. Griscom and a party of twenty-one, including eight ladies, went to Hamburg yesterday. Herr Albert Ballin, director-general of the Hamburg-American line, with several prominent citizens, met them at the railroad station, took them to the Hamburgerhof and showed the travelers various other objects of interest in the city. Herr Ballin also gave the Americans a lunchon at the Restaurant Pförde, at which thirty guests sat down. Later Herr Ballin entertained the party at his villa. Morgan will spend most of tomorrow at Potsdam seeing the palaces. Emperor William has telegraphed to the court marshal to properly guide Morgan and his party and show them apartments which are inaccessible to the general public. In pursuance of Emperor William's desire to adopt good American things, the Prussian railway minister has ordered the extension of the American baggage check system, which has been experimented with on the Hamburg-Berlin line, and the Imperial postoffice has just appointed a committee to go to the United States and study American postal, telegraphic and telephone arrangements. Special attention will be given to the tubular mail service. Germany, at present, is using only small tubes for individual letters and contemplates introducing the American system of transportation in bulk mail to and from the branches of the central post offices. The commissioners are Post Councillors Wernecke of Leipsig and Braum of Hamburg. They will be accompanied by a telegraphic engineer and another engineer at Berlin.
