San Francisco, 9.-During the day
about $50 men have been engaged in
obtaining signatures to the roll of the
Citizens Protective Union, with de-
cided SUCCESS. To a very consider
able extent the project finds favor
with the business class, though many
questions are asked. The Bulletin,
this evening, treats the subject edi-
torially under the heading of. ''Or.
ganizing Prosperity" taking the
ground that the organization means
just what it says, the preservation of
peace, protection of life and property,
q restoration Of confidence, the Sc
curity of life and property flom ali
violence, and the restoration OF legiti-
mate commerce, industries and the
business of the people by peaceful
methods, within the law; and ap-
proves the undertaking as tending to
act as a safeguard against mob VIC
lence and vicious legislation. Itmay
be said that there are many who
do not accept this view of the organi.
cation, but assume that something of
a more radical nature is contemplated.
