ton comes to the people with great
force, and must commend itself to ev-
cry thoughtful person who is at all in
formed concerning present conditions.
We would strongly favor the consid-
Grafton at the same time of the prop
osition to introduce clear water. Such
water is economically procurable at
our very doors, and since it is conceded
that the pipe system of the city is laid
wrong end to-" and that a new sys-
TEN Of mains must sooner or later be
introduced, and that so much of the
present system as may remain undis-
turbed must be supplemented by new
mains giving better distribution OF
water and greater security against fire,
the whole question of sewage disposal
and water supply might just as well
be passed upon at the same time.
The people once voted emphatically
for a clear water system. Their will
was defeated by action of the Board
of Trustees; whether that was justified
or not may not now be profitably dis
cussed; it is to be treated as a by
gone, and the clear water question con-
sidered now from the single standpoint
of city need and municipal work. The
city should own, as it does now
the Water Works; nay, it ought to
own the source of supply No one ever
has contended for any other owner
ship. She can on her own account in
troduce clear potable water into her
system of pipes as they now lie. The
people should be given the opportunity
to again direct by their votes that 1t
shall be done This matter we insist
should be submitted along with the
sewer system proposition. The people
are to be trusted to express their views
on the water as well as the sewer sys-

official quarters it is held that they
are not able to judge for themselves,

perfectly good water supply, despite
the fact that it is turgid, reproach to
the city and a constant deterrent to
those whom we invite to come and
make their homes with us. Sewerage,

these are the foremost, though the ne

Eureka (Humboldt) Standard)
The Record Union is making Wig
orous effort to induce the Government
to build good roads through the forest
reservation into Yosemite Valley. The
STANDARD" recently quoted one of its
articles opposing the purchase of the
mountain toll roads. The Government
could do the State of California a last
ing favor by building these roads as
suggested by our Sacramento contem-
porary. The State needs a lesson in
road building, which expert Govern
ment engineers could give US; and the
opening of good roads, free of toll, to
that magnificent park would cause
thousands. who otherwise will not see
it, to visit it and enjoy the journey as
we'll as the scenery. Next to Yellow
stone Park the Government has no res
ervation which is more attractive than
Yosemite; if, indeed, Yellowstone is
the more to be admired.
Three driveways, broad smooth and
SerVlceaDle from the SAN JOdQulH V dl-
ley to the entrance to Yosemite, could
be built across the Government reser-
walton, that would make the park ac-
cessible to every man who whises to
drive to it in his own conveyance, nor
leave him to pay three times the cost
of proper entertainment while there
Such parks should be made accessible
TO the people that they may become
their pleasure resorts and not the
camping places OF the wealthy few.
The Record Union" has the Stand
ards" best wishes for success in it's
proposition to pave the way for the
common people to enjoy the beauties
and the grandeur of Yosemite.

Incident in the House of Lords.

A curious incident happened in the
House of Lords the other night In the
Peeresses' Gallery a lady quietly took
her seat and produced a piece of I'M
finished needlework embroidery. This
she proceeded with great eomplacency
to deftly and, as far as an inexpert male
observer can vouch. TO artistically oper-

The exclamation against the delay
appeals to the Supreme Court of the
United States in criminal cases from
refusal to tolerate dilatory motions is
justly condemned by the press gener-
ally. But it is worthy of note that the
cursing is projected in the wrong direc-
ton The courts are abused for that
which they cannot prevent. So long
as the laws, which the people make,
permit these dilatory tactics, the people
are themselves at fault, since it is
within their power to put up the bars
by a few repeats and amendments of
laws that have been contorted to serve
shameful ends.

never took an active part in campaign

DEBS' DIATRIBES.

Los Angeles Times: Civil liberty is
dead in America" shouted Debs, the
unspeakable, at the agitators' conven-
ton in St. Louis on Tuesday These
very words, In conjunction with other
inflammatory, sensational and treason
able utterances by Debs, furnished
their own refutation. For if civil lib
erty were indeed dead, or even coma
tose, Debs and his followers would not
have been permitted to voice their
reasonable malignity. The fact that
they were permitted to exploit their
extreme and revolutionary ideas, un-
scathed and unmolested, is proof con-
elusive that civil liberty not only lives
but is still subject to the grossest of
abuse, and is still mistaken for license
by fanatics and extremists who cannot
comprehend the first principles of lib
erty

DERS, MISTAKE.

Los Angeles Herald: Mr.. Debs made
a great mistake in giving utterance to
such incendiary, anarchistic sentiments
as those voiced in his speech before the
labor convention at ST. Louis last Mon
day.
The American workingman labors
under many and grievous wrongs, but
he does not favor anarchy, riot and
bloodshed as a means of Fighting those
wrongs He has at his command a
means just as powerful, just as effect
i've and great deal more compatible
with the true American spirit, than
the overthrow by violence of our re-
publican institutions, and he prefers
the trfumphs of peace to the triumphs
of anarchy.

Debs should have made his incendiary
speech just at this critical time The

its crucial period

DEBS' PROPAGANDA.

San Diego Union: So far as Debs is
concerned, what real difference is there
between the purpose of his crusade
and that of the propaganda of Herr
Most. Mrs. Lucy Parsons and others
of that illz? Each aims to destroy the
Government. One need go no farther
than that 1t does not matter that
dynamite and rivers of blood, the an
archist plan, may be something of an
exaggeration of the Debs programme
Nor does it matter that the social de-
mocracy' which Debs would rear on
the ruins of the present Government
may be quite different from the ideal
anarchist paradise of Most, Mrs. Par
sons ct al. The question to be consid-
cred is, shall Debs be permitted to con-
tinue this new crusade?
And this leads to the natural query,
If the authorities of the law are able
to suppress the incendiary utterances
of avowed anarchists, why should Debs
and his band be permitted to indulge
in equally dangerous talk under the
pretext that they are merely preaching
social democracy?
It is about time that the lines were
drawn. When free speech becomes a
mere TRADE of treason, as was the case
when Debs spoke at the labor confer
ence. the hour has come when the la.T
should assert itself with crushing force.
Debs and his gang propose to hold a
convention in three weeks at Chicago.
The police of that city should mete out
TO them the same stern repressive
measures that were applied to the an
arphiStG after fhe Newmarket horn h.
throwing and murders. 1t is absurd to
pirate about the right of free speech.
Men who preach treason are not en-
titled to the privilege of free speech.
They should be suppressed. And the
honest. patriotic laboring masses of the
nation will support the lawful authori-
ties in all proper efforts to put an end
to this un-American, revolutionary
propaganda that menaces the peace of
the Republic

THE UNIVERSITY RUSH.
Berkeley World: It appears that it
is necessary to have something really
serious occur in order TO modify in any
sensible degree customs of college life.
Can it be that some life must be taken
before a way will be found to bring
classes of young men. together in
manner approaching that of civilized
humanity Breaking of bones, dtslo-
eating of joints and tearing of flesh,
while severe enough to the individual
directly concerned, apparently fail TO
impress upon others any measure OF
responsibility To the unscarred 1t
means nothing that his fellow has been
disfgured for life, that the whole cur
rent OF his being may perhaps be divert
ed in consequence of a few moments of
brute indulgence under conditions
from which even dogs would be re-
strained. The vicious creatures that
bring together fighting animals give
them the advantage of light and air,
but our educated youths at the uni
versity are hurled against one anoth-
er in the black darkness of the night
and are dragged about and flung in
heaps in the dry dust of the campus,
regardless of injuries that may be done
to limb or organ, just to maintain an
n,-aovise3, unnecessary custom.
