(By John J. Harrison.
Hun rritclo. Sept H The rnoml-
rutlon of Mayor Fo-hmil for another
term br th Vnion Labor party was ef
fected without the rxprrtrti opposition.
The convention was organised, trans
cte1 it buHlne. and made the noml
nation as peacefully as though Michael
Casey and hia cohorts had never been
dreamed of. The platform adopted haa
opened the. way for discussion In the
-old-Una party par"-, which, of course
a to be expect As the laboring
men represented In the union have en
tered the political arena, they must ex
ppct to have their political opinions
crltlrised by the exponents of other be
liefs, just as are those of the two old
parties. Saturday's Call started the'dis-
cusslon.by analyzing; the labor platform
a mil Inn that an Inconsistency exists be
twee if the opening statement that there
should be absolute equal rights and
privileges guaranteed all classes of men,
and then demanding the trade-union
label on all goods purchased for the
municipality, ignoring "equal rights and
privileges' to their brethren of the non
Union persuasion. It is also argued that
tha purchase of the Geary-street car line
- by the city would grant special prlvl
leges to, residents along that line at the
expense of residents of other parts of
the city, who would be, taxed for the
purchase. AH through the platform the
items dear to the heart! or labor lead
era were taken up, and in most Instances
somewhat severely handled.
Franklin Xne for Mayor.
Tha Democrats seem to have settled
on franklin K. Lane as their candidate
for mayoiv btrt the -Bepublioans are
groping about In the dark, with little In
dication of. finding; a strong man who
care to try conclusions with the popu
lar city and county attorney. 'Abe Reuf,
Bchmltx' right-hand man and manager of
both his political fortunes and official
actions, has decided not to press the Re
publican leaders to Indorse Schmlts,
most likely because he has discovered
that such a. proposition would be re
ceived with scorn or greeted with ridi
cule. In times past 8cb raits was affili
ated with the O. O. P., and occasionally
declare himself aa still holding to that
belief; but the platform upon which he
, Is to make his fight this fall is so wlld
. ly extravagant that neither of the old
parties could possibly Join Issues with
It
. ' Unionism Is Folitios,
While on the Subject of labor unions
in politics. It may not be amiss to quote
what Father Yorke had to say on the
subject In an address to his parishioners
on Labor day. Father Yorke, be it said,
la regarded as one of the most powerful
advocates of what is known as the
rlrhts of the laboring man, and when-
ver. he sneaks on the subject his words
are accepted as the sentiment of, organ
iced laboring men. in ine course. 01 ms
address Father Yorke said:
"Is'q matter what the man Is, the union
mul BIHI1U Hioii " ' -
tablished for the good of ' the man.
Again, you must remember that no, man
ia indispensable for unionism. Again, I
do not wish to encourage ingratitude,
and I know many men who have done
groat and valuablo work for unionism;
but. remember, there were kings before
Appmemnon. and so there were unions
before union loaders, und no matter how
great a man may ho., that still, if the
union Is true to Itself, it can create an
other leader. Now especially is 'this
true in that field called union-labor poll
tics. It Is a dangerous subject to han
dle, .md especially dangerous for unions.
I,tt unions remember they were not cre
ated for politics. The last aim of the
union la for the .benefit of the poor man,
arid not to put a man Into s' political of-.'K-e,
and no matter how well it jtiiy
work once or twice, it is going to tend
to the disruption of the union. There
is no pool so filthy as the pool of politics.
No matter how unions will look upon
politics, there is one thing tfley should
bear In mind they are not established
for politic, and there should be- no more
politics In the lodgeroom than in the
pulpit of the church."
Greet Building lad us try.
There are at the present time no less
than 65 apartment houses under course
of construction in this city, ranging
from four and five stories up to 10 and
1!. I was simply amazed the other day,
while golnj? out over the hill district, to
find how the whole character of some of
the streets has changed within the year.
Where formerly there were small cot
tages and unpretentious dwellings now
rise big private hotels and apartment
houses soemlngly without end. We our
selves do not notice how rapidly the city
Is growing, for our dally trips about the
city are apt to be confined to the same
district: but one returning to the city
after an absence of, say, a year, can
scarcely believe his eyes upon noticing
the Immense amount of building already
done or tinder way, and this Improve
ment Is not confined to any one portion
of the city. Business) blocks in the
down-town dsltrlcts are keeping pace
with the residential portion.
..Death of Martin XeUogg.
The past history of the University of
California has been written in the obltu
ary notices of Dr. Martin Kellogg, who
died a few weeks ago. Coming to Call
fornla In 1865, at the age of 27, after
occupying; Important positions at Yale,
he began his work on this coast in
Shasta county as a minister of the gos
pel. In 1868 he was called to the chair
of ancient languages of the newly or
ganized university, which he had been
most instrumental In bringing into ex
istence. In 1891 he was made president
of the university, and served for six
years,' advancing years compelling him'
to make way for a younger and phys
ically stronger man.
Xtserve Mount Tamalpals.
A movement Is on foot to Induce the
government to acquire Mount Tamalpals
as a forestry reservation and national
park. There is probably no more beau
tiful view In the world than from the
summit of this mountain, rearing its
few thousand feet on the very border of
San Francisco bay. It has long been one
of the show places for visitors, and
takes rank with the Yellowstone and al
most rivals the Yosemite In scope and
diversity cf scenery. Two Important
organizations have Joined In agitating
the question of making Tamalpals a na
tional park, and all lovers of the beau
tiful in nature are enthusiastically in
favor of the movement.'- '
Shaving Goes TJp. "
Shaving of faces, not to speak of the
shaving- of promissory notes, has become
matter of considerable expense to our
bearded population. I have forgotten
where the connection between the two
exists, but It has grown to be such
grave matter financially when one thinks
of the three flays wmsners naa Deuer
be amputated that the shaving of A note
in order to provide the necessary capi
tal naturally suggests Itself.. In other
words, the boss barbers have raised the
prjco or remoytng hirsute .vegetation
from the visage to two bits per removal,
and if anv "funny business" is ordered,
very little change will be forthcoming
from a dollar piece, ine oosses niame
the advance on the Journeymen work
men, who have demanded- a raise in
wage, but whatevor may be the reason,
it is very certain that half the male
adult population of San Francisco is
practicing the art of: self -shaving, and
their laces look it. ' v .
Salvation and Doughnuts,
Now, in personal way. let me tell yon
some gossip. Maude Amber, the statu-
esquo soprano at Fischer's, has finally
mustered up courage enough to apply
to the courts for a divorce from Mr,
Amber, otherwise known as Puerl Wll
kerson. A. W. Dennett who was the
head of what the sacrilegious ealled the
Salvation Is Free. But' Not Doughnuts"
restaurant, has been declared Insolvent,
There are rather odd stories going the
rounds concerning Dennett's hilling up
Salvation Army methods with certain
tries with rm stock markets.) Not so
many years ago Jack Raffael was the
Idol of the Tlvoll matinee girl. Jack
tried married life coupled up with Bet-
tint Qerard for a while, but it wouldn't
work; then he wooed and won Caroline
Johnson, a charming; young widow and
the daughter of Ross Jackson, Who was
the most popular newspaper man in this
section of the country- Jsck went East
several years ago, and has evidently for
gotten his marital obligations, for his
wife Is now suing, for divorce and a
good, stiff alimony.'" Which recalls' to
my mind another divorce proceeding In
the courts recently, wherein the husband
asked for the decree because he did not
like the tone of his wife's voloe. A let
ter from the musical erttlo was intro
duced in evidence, which read in part:
"I do not love you and do not care to
see you again. You are extremely over
bearing. You are devoid . of reason.
Your voice is of such a tone as to be
hideous to my nervous system. Yours
truly. A. WILMOT."
Aa Aasoeote of Bonner. '
The recent death of pon, C, C. Bon
ney In Chicago brings to my mind a
bit of inside newspaper fun the boys
indulged in during the sessions of the
world's congresses at the time of the
world's fair. I happened in those days
to be employed on an Afternoon paper
in the Windy city, and part of my work
was reading copy (editing) local stuff.
Mr. Bonner soon became known to the
"boys" reporting the meetings as an In
terminable talker. After a few days. In
stead Of winding up the report with the
usual "At the close of this report 'Mr.
Bonne y was still talking," the copy
would come in with the words, "Add
standing." With all that, he was a won
derful man and conducted the con greases
with wonderful ability.

Fletcher of 230 South avenue as he leans
over the railing about a bear Pit and
watches playful Bruin within, "an over
coat or a rug?"
I may be able td get along without
the rug, but 1 don't see bow I can af

Mr. Sllvertlp. If the cuss will only be

Mr. Fletcher, because of his heroism
in capturing a runaway bear, was re
warded by being presented with the ani
mal, but like the owner of a white ele
phant, he doesn't know what to do with
the beast.
On last Monday The Journal printed a
story of the thrilling, capture of a bear

Fletcher now comes forward with the
statement that it was he who took the
wild animal, and to substantiate his
claim he has Bruin. Mrs. Hammond, of

animal, out of gratitude to Mr. Fletcher
for arresting the. beast, has presented
