The advisory board Of the American Pro-
tective association, which was in session in

The justice of the peace is the poor
mans judge. Strict equity is even
more important in the justice courts
than in the higher tribunals. The rich
man can generally appeal his case to
the court of last resort and have any
errors that may have been committed
corrected. The poor man must content
himself with the decision of the justice
before whom his suit is first brought
because he has not the means to under
take the expensive litigation which an
appeal means. No one should be elected
justice of the peace whose impartiality
or integrity can be called in question
The men nominated on the citizens
ticket for justice of the peace are all
reputable and capable. Don't fail to
vote for each and every one of them.

COST OF STRIKES AND LoCKoUTs.


There is a great deal that is interest
ing and instructive, both for those who
labor and those who employ labor, in
the statistics of the cost of strikes and

tion covered period of thirteen and
one-half years and the method EN-
ployed in making 1t was the cOmpila-
ton of the strikes and lockouts re-
ported in daily papers, trade and com
mercial periodicals and state labor re-

hensive and thorough, and while the

absolutely accurate, they are probably
as nearly so as it is possible to get such
data.
Commissioner Wrights figures show
that nearly one-half of the strikes and
lockouts during the period covered by
the report were absolute failures
Al. 40 per cent of strikes succeeded, and
"a fraction of them were settled by COM

THE CHINATOWN WAR.

The struggle which has been proceeding
for several weeks in Chinatown between
rival organizations illustrates the i'm
punity with which the Chinese may vic.
late our laws. If such a wrangle had oc-
CURED between rival bodies of American
citizens the iails would have been long ago
crowded with the offenders. The failure
of the authorities to cope with the situa-
ton in Chinatown does not mean fault
on their part. They find themselves con-
fronted by peculiar order of foreigners,
who not only scorn our country, our people
and our laws, but who by reason of their
strange tongue and the extraordinary
secrecy with which they can conduct their
lawlessness have every possible advantage
over white men in the commission of un-
lawful acts.
The situation in Chinatown is this:
Some weeks ago a member of one of the
societies murdered member of another
society. Up to that time there had been
no enmity between the societies. Usually
when a murder is committed, reprisal is
taken by the murder of any member of the
society to which the murderer belongs,
but the present case is different. Retalia-
ton by murder has not been resorted to.
partly for the reason that the fight is not
between societies of professional black
mailers and murderers, but between
two large organizations which comprehend

at may surprise you, but it is true, that Cali

the indifference of her people. Those interested

here is an industry in which the neglect of the
people allows over 81 100000 to go out of the
State annually. In order to meet this demand
the industry must be run on the same business
principles as are used by the successful poul-
try-raisers of the East. There are plants in the

AN OAKLAND EXAMPLE.

The lottery has been scotched, but not
killed. Suppressed in many places, it con-
tinues to find other channels through
which to exert it's pernicious influence and
accomplish its evil results. 1t is evident
the war upon it cannot be relaxed for a
moment, and that if we expect to further
diminish the evil we must improve our
laws so as to forbid any kind of advertising
for the nefarious traffic either before or
after the drawings.
In the Police Court of Oakland last week
there was an illustration of the injury
which the lottery works in the commu-
nifty. A man, reported to be good work
man, and who has had steady employ
ment, was brought before the court to an
swer the charge of having threatened his
wife with a carying-knife and driven her
from the house. The man, it seems, was
under the influence Of liquor when he
committed the offense, but his wife stated
he was a complete slave to the Chinese
lottery game, and all his money was thus
gambled away, leaving the family desti-
tute and the home miserable and wretched.
There are ruined homes, broken man.
hood and families made wretched by lot
teries that never come before the Police
Courts. The full extent of the misery,
wrong and suffering brought about by the
insidious evil will never be known to the
public. We can only be sure that the evil
which is known is only an evidence of a
greater extent of evil unknown, and on
that surety do what we can to put an end
to it.
1t is the opinion of the police that
the lottery evil would die of itself if
it were not again and again nursed
into life by the publication of al
legged profits drawn ana distributed.
These publications excite the minds of
those given to delusive hopes, and they re-
turn once more to squander their honest
earnings upon dishonest games, giving to
the sport of swindlers what should be the
comfort and maintenance of the home
To put stop to that pernicious advertis-
ing is, therefore, the next step to be taken
IN the contest with the cyl, and we trust
it will not be wholly in vain that we call
upon our contemporaries to join with us
in refusing to subordinate the power of the
press to the money Of swindlers, or to
serve them as a medium for carrying their
lying enticements into the homes of the
people.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-11

is that the farmer has ceased to be the in
dependent man whom I knew in my boy
hood. He is attacked by the care ana
worry OF the business man without the
business mans equipment to meet them,
and he is losing ground. If | am wrong
am glad of it, but l shall proceed upon that
assumption.
Now this decadence of prosperity, IN my
belief, is entirely unnecessary. The farm
IS the storehouse Of vigor, without which
and the application it makes possible
there can be no knowledge or the prosper
ity which knowledge brings; from the
farm the ranks of the prosperous are being
constantly recruited; the drift of our best
into the cities is notorious; farm-boys
make the best records in school and in col
lege. Their mother earth has given them
the vlgor which is the foundation and the
means of all progress. We have, then, as
farmers the basis of success in the physical
strength which makes success possible,
and yet we are falling behind in the race.
We have the earth and are frittering 1t
away.
This matter will bear more examination
than have space for this week, and, while
do not propose any detailed comparison
of the farmer with other classes, do think
it we'll to compare him with his forbears Of
generation or two ago. This l shall do
next week, using as basis my recollection
of two lectures of Professor Ross of
Stanford University. delivered at Camp
Roache-lectures, by the way, which
hope to some day see printed
and in the hands of every farmer.
In entering upon that comparison it
will be my object to discover and set forth
the causes why the farmer of to-day is
less happy than the farmer of former
days, that we may see how, if in any way,
those causes may be removed, and the
farmer be enabled to regain his relative
position. If we can once be made to see
plainly the road by which we passed from
property to misfortune we may find it
such that we can retrace our steps upon it.
We may be sure of one thing-that if the
American farmer was ever prosperous and
happy it was because at the time he had
all the knowledge which he needed to
maintain his power of survival. What our
investigation should disclose is why he has
not now that knowledge; whether he can
regain it, and, if SO, how.
