THE UNION PACIFIC AGAIN

The Evening Express, after taking
tempts in it's issue of yesterday to excuse
its defense of the proposed Union Pa
cific $25,000,000 steal. It charges The
Herald with condemning the steal be-
cause it is Democratic paper, which
may do as space filler, but which is
very poor logic.
The Express says that the government
has advanced on account of the road
due on this amount comes to about the
same figure, making a total indebted
ness to the government Of $70,000,000.
The interest charge, as matter Of
but interest that has been paid by the
government, according to the dispatches
printed in the Express Of September %.
This makes quite a difference in the
character Of the debt.
Then the Express advises the accept
ance of the $2S, 100000 offer of the re-
organization committee in discharge of
the balance now due, amounting to $685.
900, 900, on the ground that 1t would be a
bad business policy for the government
to load itself up with such an unprofit
able piece of railroad property. Let US
see The reorganization committee is
willing to invest SIS, 5000, 900 in cash. 1t
thinks the property valuable enough to
carry a capitalization Of $236, ,0O0. 900.
Perhaps the Express does not know that
the road is now earning 8 per cent or
$100, 900, 900, even in its run down" con-
dition. But is the Union Pacific system
run down and badly equipped" as the
Express asserts? 1t would hardly be
safe to say so in Omaha or Denver. The
Union Pacific IL part Of one Of the
great transcontineEtal lines There
have been no serious accidents on the
line Of late, resulting from bad equip
ment or any other cause. The govern
ment Is running the system now and is
not making failure Of it.
The Express thinks the government
can afford to throw away $25.000, 900 for
the benefit of the millionaire reorgan-
ization committee, because the loss will
amount to only 33 1-3 cents per capita,
such a small amount that nobody W II

little ones would starve. The children
are necessarily neglected to a large ex-
tent. Harry, weak-mirded, and Left
to himself, may be disposed to mischief
in his daft way. Perhaps he even stole
shovel. In any event, the charge was
made and Rossiter sent the child to
Jail.
Right here The Herald would like to
know: Who appeared as counsel for the
why not? Why was not the mother Of
the child notified that he had been ar
rested?
Rossiter sent the weak-mirded child
to the county Jail. The mother was not
notified. When she came home the child
was missing. Was there ever a mother
that did not worry with one absent from
the fold, no matter how humble the fold
may have been? This mother, who had
toiled all day at the washtub, spent the
entire night walking up and down the
streets of Pasadena, hunting for her
weak-minded boy, who was precious to
her if to no one else. Where was the
boy? In cell at the county jail, fright
ened almost to DEATH crying for his
mother, till the hardened criminals that
surrounded him were almost moved to
tears. Where was Rossiter? He was at
home, sleeping the sleep of a Justice of
Aoo n
him.
But the poor, the helpless and the
weak-minded were not without friend
Mrs. c. M. Sterry of st. James park in
terested herself in the case, secured the
boys release, hunted up the mother and
looked after the matter generally. Mrs.
Sterry has secured transportation for
the whole family to a town in Kansas,
where Mrs. Haas parents live, and they
will be sent there next week. The be-
nevolently inclined should see that they
are cared for in the meantime. The
father has promised to reform.
Some time ago an, effort was made to
have Harry Haas Committed to the
home for the feeble minded. a state in
stitution, at Glen Ellen. The home
would not receive the boy unless ths
county would agree to pay SO per month
for his maintenance. in accordance with
its rule. This the county refused to do.
So there was no suitable place to put
the child. But there were the streets.
the insane asylum ard the county Jail.
The mother did not want to part with
her child. Most mothers would not un-
der the same circumstances.
These things demand investigation.

Justice Rossiter committed the boy to
Jail without notifying the lads mother.
Second, the laws and rules under which
a weak-minded person may or may not
be provided for in. the proper institution.

Speculation in Wheat

All speculation in the products of the
farm is at the expense Of the grower. and
It is a nefarious system that admits Of
q great food product, like wheat, being
so handled that few brokers may make
millions while the producers scarcely
pay expenses.
What profit there may be in wheat
should go to the men who grow 1t, for
they, and they alone, are entitled to that

turn to the tasks of cool weather. 1t
is too warm for residents Of the city
to go back to pavements and brick
buildings, which hold the heat in their

oppressive as an African sirocco.

dren to go back to school. Because
it is the first month of autumn, public
schools usually open near the begin

followed the example Of our larger col
