FALSE REPORTS.
One San Francisco Paper Shows Up
Some of the Others,
From the San Fra ncisco p

(tTOm the San Francisco Post1
Recently man named Fred Wagner
bearded a Market-street car without a
proper transfer. He was elected; where
upon he took the next car down, or at
tempted to use his transfer a second
time, striking the conductor of the car,
who caused the offending passenger to
be promptly arrested for battery The
case was tried in Judge Conlans court,
and the attorneys for the Market-street
Railway Company, finding that Wagner
had been misled by false and malicious
statements to the effect that the Market
Street Company had no right to eject
man from a car, even when he did not
present the proper transfer, consented
that the case against Wagner might be
dismissed. This consent to a dismissal
involved no Interpretation of the law.
Whereupon, one of our morning contem-
pcraries heads It's account Of 1t with the
line, Manager Vining Scored" Judge
Conlan said nothing whatever concern
ing Manager Vining, nor was any op-
portunity to do so given him.
The same paper in the third line de-
clares that Judge Conlan chara cterized
the transfer rule as an unnecessary and
a. DilA piOCCeoiHS. aS OusS OOHldH
said nothing concerning the transfer
rules. of course this headline was
gratuitous falsehood.
Another morning paper published an
editorial on the same subject, contain
ing throughout what is evidently a di-
rect and willful Misrepresentation of
the facts. 1t declared in it's editorial
that Judge Conla.n held that the transfer
system subjects passengers to excessive
trouble and annoyance and is violative
Of the rights Of citizens; that as Wag
ner was in a hurry and should not have
been required to lose car by waiting to
secure transfer check, and held his
check as evidence of his good faith. he
was justified in resisting the violence
employed in ejecting him. This is just
as far from the facts Of the case as il
Wagner and the Market-street Railway
Company had both been invented, or as
If neither had an existence.
Another contemporary declares in its
headlines that the receipt for fare en-
titles its holder to make the trip; that
Judge Conlan censures the railway
| company strongly; says the corporation
has no right to In convenience any pas
senger or delay him.
1t is almost inconceivable that these
statements should be made in public
print; that they should relate to judi
cial proceeding which in fact never
took place; that the press should place
in the mouth of a Judge on the bench
statements he never used, nor had any
occasion to use.
1t is equally inconccivable that news
papers pretending to serve the public
with reliable statements OF fact should
depart from all semblance of truth and
actually invent in a wholesale way
| decision of a court, and thus mislead
the public as to its legal rights. How
ever unpopular the transfer system may
be with the travelling public, the abuse,
IL any, cannot be corrected by misrep-
resentation and falsehood.
In the case of Wagner the prosecution
was simply withdrawn, and the Judge
gave no expression OF opinion as to the
justifiableness or adequacy OF the Mar

a hireling. He represents the citizen
in his sovereign capacity. He is an
armed peace officer under direction OF
the law made by the people, and which,
if not maintained, means the end of
government and the accomplishment of
anarchy All men who side with the
Columbia River strikers, no matter
what their grievance, take sides against
the laws of the people and are rebell-
icus in spirit and promoters Of anar-
chy. There is no getting away from
that proposition. Those who are not
for the government in these cases are
against it, and those who are against
it are favoring the rule Of disorder,

fed, and, as the Judge knew, no such

How long will public opinion con-
sent to take it's facts from the press,
if these rascally Misrepresentation are
to dominate in a community, and lead
the people into error?
Wrapped in the panoply Of the free
dom of the press which they prostitute,
abuse and shamefully draggle in the
dirt, these mendacious sheets are doing
their best to bring the office of journal
ism into contempt among all the peo-
pie. Already there is such distrust Of
the newspaper press that the public as
rule takes about everything 1t sees
in the newspaper with more than 80 per
cent. of allowances; it will not be long
before nothing will be accepted from
it as verify 1t behooves the decent
press Of the State, and the best that
there is in Journalism in California is
be decently done to save the profession
from falling into such contempt among
the people that it's usefulness will be
wholly destroyed.
What the self-respecting papers can
do is to unsparingly expose every mis-
representation and lie concerning pub
lie affairs in which these papers, lost
to self-respect and regard for the truth,
so freely indulge.
The newspaper Of the day is an agen-
cy for immeasurable good. It's Office is
a lofty one, and ought to comport in
dignity and veracity with it's exalted
mission. 1t is the conservator of good
morals, sound law and right thinking
and doing in all things. It is the pro-
nloter of all progressive movements and
uplifting provided, always,
that it commands respect for truth
telling.
When, however, as in the Infamous
case exposed by the post" the news
paper is made the means or agency for
misleading the public, for falsifying
and warping the truth to accomplish
private ends or maintain its dominance
as power it becomes mere harlot
and panderer, a thing to be loathed
and scorned, it is the duty of all
decent newspapers and those who make
the conduct of them their life mission
to put these vicious influences to one
side and by exposure read them out Of
the public mind as news agencies, until
in self-defense of existence they will be

FARMERS ARE ANGRY.
Mass Meeting at Wind Lake Held
to Discuss the Stu
alton.

Wind Lake, Wis, Aug. 1.-[Special]-
There has been more excitement in this
burg today than has been known since
it's incorporation. The town is hlied
with farmers from this vicinity and they
are not in a mood to be tritied with. New
err was there a gathering of more. deter
mined men than the grangers VINO are
here today They came to take action III
the Wind Lake canal matter and II any
effort is made to carry out the threat OF
filling the canal, there will be trouble OF
q serious nature.
1t was given out few days ago that
400 men would march from Hales Cor
ners and proceed to fill in the canal. des-
pite the warning of the farmers that the
attempt would be met with armed resist
ance. 1t appears that on second thought
the men who had volunteered to DO the
work were not so anxious to measure
their strength with the farmers and they
wisely gave up the idea. Had the men
made a move. TO I'LL in the canal there
would have been bloodShed. The far
mers have had watchmen out all the time
and at the first sign of the enemy the
call to arms would have been sounded.
AS result of the trouble a mass meet
ing of farmers was called here today.
1t had been originally intended to hold
the meeting this evening, but most of the
farmers preferred to take some action at
once. The meeting was called to order in
the Wind Lake schoolhouse at l o'clock
and the little building was filled with
the hardy sons of toll. 1t was stated
that the object of the meeting was to or
ganiZe a stock company to operate and
protect Wind Lake canal. 1t is probable
that officers will be elected late this aft
ernoon and articles of incorporation filed
at once.
Thomas M. Kearney, the well-known
attorney of Racine, was present and add
dressed the meeting in behalf of the far
mers. He advised them to protect their
rights at all hazards and there is no doubt
that they will do so. There is no fear of
trouble now, as the other side does not
appear anxious to have the two factions
