This came with peculiar grace from Mr.

Anderson, 'for. he had '-just jsucccedcd in havfng J. Donovan," a "Trecerit arrival from New York, made city architect under conditions which were unbiisiness-like (or too business-like) to say the least. That Mrl Anderson should haVe-gone so far abroad to find an "architectural expert is surprising for mofereasons. than one.

Mr. Donovan has taken a technical course in architecture at the Boston -r Institute of -Technology, but he has never designed a Building that bee) erecled. He has'jsuperiritended -the construction of some notable. buildings designed by his employers, Palmer of New York, but he has no repu'tation as an architect and has no experience-as a designer of buildings. The terms, on wjlich Mr.

Donovan wasemployed were so extraordinary in their latitude and liberalitjWto excite surprise and amazement. Now we are getting a taste of Mr. Donovan's quality and of Commissioner Anderson's loyalty to home talent and home industry. Mr. Donovan has.

Pardee is at great pains that Abe Ruef helped give him the nomination in 1902, but he does not undertake to say that he -did not endeavor in a personal interview with AbcRuef at Santa Cruz to get the support of the Ruef-Schmitz-delegation in 1906, On that point he is curiously silent. Hecatcgorically denies.

getting Ruef's support in 1902, but he does. not deny that he tried-te-get it in 1906. r- Again, Dr. Pardee does not 'specifically deny that he asked Wil- liam F. Herrin for the support of the Southern.

Pacific in 1906. He rails at Herrin and calls the editorial managers of THE TRIBUNE a variety of hard names, but he docs not meet the Instead of saying he did -not solicit the support of Herrinand the railroad, he says Herrin is directing the editorial polkyDfthis paper a statement he kriowsjto be utterly devoid of truth if he knows anything of the matter at all. Mr. Ilerrin-has as i much to, do with 'directing the policy "of THE TRIBUNE as has Pardee, which. is nothing at all.

But that is nofthc point. Did Pardee ask Herrin for the railroad's support? That is the issue. is the doctor. so. reluctant meet it? Calling other people liars and journalistic pirates docs not meet it.

-Pardee flounders around wrathfully 'in an attempt to break the force of the statement that his managers traded off Samuel G. Hilborn in but he does not come to the scratch with a square denial. That Hilborn was traded off for Pardee is quite certain, but we are not sure that Pardee had a personal 'hand in the deal. It hS been a periodical subject of, discussioq in local political circles ever since, and William R. Davis, who was' sacrificed in the trade rj LOS ANGELES TIMES.
