Gated. hat the filings and ornAmentation
put upon it by legislatures are so elaborate
as to lead to the utmost confusion. Sim
plicity, conciseness and systemization are
what is wanted. Men sho-ld be chosen
to the legislature who have knowledge
of the general features of government.
and who are capable of Judging of the
effect. of changes. If they have not such
knowledge, or are incapable of under
standing the effect of new legislation, the
safest way for them is to oppose legisla
ton altogether. except that which is nee
essary to provide revenue. 1t is COM
mon saying that the world ! is governed
too much. and in this country We are ex-
periencing the fact that there is too much
legislation. especially that which is crude
and indifferently digested and assimi-
lated. There will be no improvement un-
til the people take greater interest in
public affairs.

principle be admitted, political and
pecuniary influences may lead it into the
most outrageous abuses OF authority. The
condition OF New York's police depart
ment, as recently revealed, was the full
and logical development of abused, per-
verified and usurped authority. If a part
Of the government itself deties the laws,
individuals can hardly be expected to
honor and obey them. The falling of men
without good cause, refusal to allow those
imprisoned speedy and easy communica-
ton with the outer world, and the virtual
denial of the writ of habeas corpus
through farcical and trumped up charges
must stop. The criminal procedure of
Russia. Cuba and South America is not
needed in California.

AFTERMATH OF A STEAL
Sequel to the Looting OF the Shoe and
Leather Bank

NEW YORK, April 23.-The family of
Frederick Baker. al ter suffering the
obloquy thrown on the dead man s name
and reputation through the robbery of
the National Shoe & Leather bank by
Samuel G. Seeley. have come forward to
claim hearing. On the advice of friends
they have chosen this time as the one
favorable to their purpose. The public
mind has been again directed to the
affairs of the National Shoe IL Leather
bank by reason of the discovery that
Seelev's brother-in-law. Samuel E.
Aymar. a clerk in the bank, is also de-
faulter.
Mrs. Baker called on Vice Present HIT
ner at the bank and asked him to refrain
from dragging Bakers name into the
present affair. He promised he would re-
frain. Mrs Baker then called on Mayor
Strong and asked what she should do to
bring her late husbands case before the
New York authorities. The mayor re-
ferred her to Police Commissioner An
drews. She declared to Mayor Strong she
was anxious for full investigation, sat
the shoulders of the late Mr.. Baker and
put it where it belonged.
Mrs. Baker talked to reporters for the
first time, giving full history OF Mr..
Bakers movements for the period i'm
mediately prior to his death. She
talked frankly of her fathers financial
affairs. Important disclosures are held in
reserve. it is said, by the Baker family.
When these facts are ultimately pro-
duced they hope to be aole to demonst
the innocence of Mr.. Baker.

SHOT BEHIND THE BAR
Fatal Results of Dice Shaking
Game :.
An Accusation Of Robbery That Ended In a
Tragedy in a Hotel Bar Room
In Seattle

SEATTLE, WASH, April 2.-Harry
Fraser. proprietor of the Northern hotel
bar, was fatally shot this morning by p.
ID. Page of MITCHELL South Dakota,
owner of a large ranch and a member of
one of the best families in Milwaukee.
Page was shaking dice with Fraser and
says that he had taken two drinks which
were drugged, for he became stupid and
Just remembers struggle in which he
pulled his revolver and fired.
Fraser says Page suddenly began talk
ing about two skies and trays turning up
at dice and in an instant drew his re-
volver and shot him.
Page came here on April 18th with A.
w. Hager, an attorney of Chicago, and
was to leave today on the steamer for
Alaska to go to the Yukon mines.
Hager says Page is an abstemious man
whom he never saw take two drinks and
is convinced that he had been drugged
for the purpose of robbery.
Page. he says, had on Monday cashed
draft for $3.50 and had $25 besides, but
when ares ed he had only $50 on his
person and he believes that Page had been
robbed of the sos and that Frazer and his
friends were drugging him to get the
rest He says Pages father was formerly
chief of police and afterwards mayor of
Milwaukee and that his uncle, Hiram
Barber is master of chancery in
Chicago while Pages mother and sister
are now at Pasadena. Cal. Fraser is a
small man and had borne good repu
tatlon.
The bullet penetrated his bladder and
intestines and he cannot recover. Page
has been in semi-stupor all day and
has not yet fully recovered his senses.

VETERANS ON PARADE
Old Soldiers Take Possession of the State
CaDitoI

Capitol
SACRAMENTO, April 23.-The parade
of the GA. r. today was one of the largest
and most imposing ever had in the state.
Every business house was closed. and all
Joined in the celebration. Five thousand
old soldiers were in line. The local mill
tary, Foresters. Red Men and other civic
societies Joined in the parade. The city
was handsomely decorated. Even the
residence PORTIONS where the procession
did not pass, were decorated. At least
10, 900 strangers are in the city. Governor
Jim Budd sat his horse like a cowboy.
He reviewed the procession, and said it
was the finest that he had ever witnessed.
Several hundred school children were in
the line carrying flowers and banners. A
local Italian military company dressed
in snowy UNIFORM of dark green,
marched with the boys in blue. There
were number of Mexican war veterans
in line all in carriages as they are grown
too feeble to make a long march. State,
county and city officials also rode in the
procession.
AT today's encampment reports were
made by the various committees appoint
ed on credentials. officers reports. coun-
Gil of administration and resolutions.
The delegates to the next national en-
campment recommended that hereafter
no new posts be instituted except on rec
ommendaton of the council of admins
traion.
1t was also recommended that no per
capita tax be levied on the members of
the different soldiers homes.
The department. commander was au-
thorized to appoint an aid with the title
OF mortuary register to complete the
mortuary record of the department.
The time for settling the next meeting
place for the department encampment
was made a special order for tomorrow.
Two places are proposed-Santa Cruz and
San Francisco, but it is doubtful if San
Francisco will ask for it.
One hundred and twenty-three mem
bers, representing thirty-seven corps. were
present at today's session of the Woman's
Relief corps.
The committee on officers reports and
other committees made their reports and
the session was consumed in discussions

morrow.

THE SOCIAL EVIL


There should be no question between
the police commissioners and the council
as to which body is entitled to the credit
of removing the cribs and public houses
The evil exists and should be abated.
There may be differences among our citi.
zens as to whether the social evil should
or should not be licensed, but all parties
will agree that it should not be paraded
in the faces of the wives and daughters of
our citizens.
If the evil must exist let it at least be
relegated to dark alleys. 1t is burning
shame that open and notorious brothels
should throw their doors opon. on North
Main street, and there are houses
even on Spring street. the upper
stories of which are infested with
macs and opium tiends. Those places are
not unknown to the police and would
never have been permitted had it not been
for the tortuous policy of the late police
commission.
Now that the good work has com.
menced, let it be kept up until the evil
has been placed within decent bounds.
The work should be done thoroughly.
The police commission, in whose hands
the matter now rests, should act firmly
and promptly, but in spirit of broad
charity and without doing anything
which might be construed into perse-
cutiOu. t-

INcoNsIDERATE LEGISLATION

More business in the courts arises from
rude laws than from any other source.
Courts are kept busy in the Interpretation
If statutes, Strengthening out muddles
nd in deciding constitutional questions.
There seems to be more of that kind Of
york going on now than ever before. In
.hese latter years laws are passed without
hat consideration which characterized
egislation in earlier days. How this hap
,ens can only be accounted for OH the
ground that there is less care exercised in
he selection of legislators, or they do
lot properly appreciate their duties and
responsibilities. Il may be result of
The hurried manner in which Americans
ave become accustomed to doing every
thing.
This subject is suggested by two occur
ences, one being of national i'm portance
and the other local. The law imposing

lucing revenue has probably been more

ID confused and uncertain and will remain

SQUIRT of highest resort, or the legislature
meets and enacts a law that will put the
question at rest.
The question is also raised whether the
county officers were elected last year for
4 term of two or four years.
There seems to be want Of systemiza-
ton in national legislation, and also in
that of many of the states. Such is GER
tainly the case in California. The condi-
ton cannot have grown OUT of too little
legislation. but rather out of too much.
There is passion for passing laws. and
every man chosen to legislative body
seems to think that he will be thought to
have done nothing if he has not intro
duced a bill, or was not the father OF
some statute. The result is that laws are
amended, revised or superseded without
any consideration being given to the
effect. The idea prevails that legisla-
ture has done great work ii it has ere
sted large volume of acts. The book
