SAN FRANCISCO DEFENDED. Vv to this time we were not aware that Boston was In the habit of exalt- big her moral horn at the expense of San Francisco. The unpleasant revela- , Vn cornea to us In the form of a de fense of this city by a California lady sojourning In Boston, says the Cult - Her temper has been touched by the continual Boatonian criticism of San Francisco as the wickedest of cities. sort of Sodom with a. Gomorrah lean-to : while Boston Is boasted as the "storm center of morality and virtue." This gallant lady declares that the young rnea of San Francisco are models of temperance, knights of the blue rib bon and white, as compared with the Xunesse doree of Boston. The young chaps of the Hub are accused of a chronic dark brown taste permanently swelled heads and throbbing temples, , They go forth tn the morning on the primrose path of the cocktail and come back at night via the shandygaff route, . with their liquid contents swashing around under their belts like beer m a half-empty keg. We are gin d and sorry to hear this. Glad that It can be said that our young men stick closely to the fine waters of -our own state, finding them useful to quench thirst as well as for navigation. Irrigation and bathing, and sorry that the sons of the Puritans and other people In Boston are prono to trot the pace that kills and arrive at the wire as full as Bac chus andta noisy as a runaway auto mobile. But our California lady does not stop with a comparison 'of thirsts and the vways of quenching them, but goes In to a more serious question of morals, and brings our young men out flying but whether with flying colors depends on the point of vtew. She says that h knnwa several young California . gentlemen who were students at Har vard and vere compelled to run out of town and leave their books behind them by the attentions of Boston wo men! This Is serious. We do not send our youth to Harvard simply to prove them "los'phs and resistant to the moral phylloxera in the guise of Lady potiphar. We "end them there to stock up. on lore and to get a full orbed train ing In the wisdom of the world.
