THE THIRD ARBITRATOR

Mr.. Kays and Captain Healy evidently
have had some trouble in agreeing upon
an associate in determining the value OF
the property which the water company
is to transfer to the city. There has been
some impatience at the delay. Unfor-
tunately, the idea has existed that the
arbitrators chosen by the city and COM
pany were to be, in a way, attorneys for
their respective sides, instead Of impair
tial investigators of facts and judges of
values. Such an impression we regard
as unjust, for all who are acquainted
with Captain Healy and Mr.. kays must
believe them to be capable and honorable
men.
The contention between the city and
the water company is an important one,
and ought not to be disposed of with
undue haste. 1t is necessary that there
should be the most careful considera-
ton, that a result may be arrived at
which will be reasonably satisfactory.
There are suspicious that the water COM
pany is endeavoring to obtain more than

PERSONAL OPINIONS
Ex-Justice Van r. Patterson, in

Ex-Justice Van r. Patterson, in
speech at Berkeley, said:
Judge Mcguire Is personally a man
of most upright character and of the
strictest integrity. Having sat upon
the bench with him, 1 can speak ad-
visedly.
In recent speech General Barnes said
that Judge Mcguire was one of the best
judges San Francisco ever had.
In his San Francisco speech NJ. NJ
Estee said:

him Judge Maguire) il 1 tried. l be-
lieve him to be an honest man.
These gentlemen are Republicans.
They have given this testimony unso-
licited. They undoubtedly would have
preferred to say nothing to the credit
Of Judge Mcguire, but having wandered
around In their speeches to find an issue
to discuss, or something to criticise, they
were compelled at last to say that Judge
Mcguire is an honest man and was a
Judge of upright character and the strict
est integrity.
If Judge Mcguire is an honest man.
made a good Judge, and, after twenty
years of public service, has spotless
reputation, the people Of this state will
make no mistake by accepting the praise
of his Republican opponents as just and

its properties are worth: indeed. It 10 I
popular impression that corporation
generally seek undue advantages. and
that while in dealing with individuals
they may not be wholly unconscionable
in transactions with the public they are
constituencies.
The selection OF the third arbitrator
in the person Of Colonel Mendel, in oui
Judgment. is wise one. He Is man Of
high character. extensive information
and long experience. The subject to be
dealt with Is familiar to him, and he
ought to be regarded, not only as COM
petent, but as absolutely impartial. The
issue Is one of value OF property, and
as the figures Of the city and water
company are widely apart. 1t is not i'm
probable that one or both sides will be
disappointed. The arbitrators have
nothing to do with the question of public
ownership Of the water plant; 1t has
been contracted to the city and the Is
sue Is one of price.
Colonel Mendel's work has been in con-
nection with the engineer corps of the
United States army. That branch Of the
public service was established in 1903,
and 1t has ever been respected for the
abilities of its officers, which at all times
have been creditable and generally dis
tinguished. No department Of the gov
ernment has achieved a better reputa-
tion for honesty, and it has been singu-
larly exempt from scandal. None Of its
officers have ever been convicted Of en-
bezzlement, or misrepresentation Of
funds, or connivance at fraud, or neglect
of duty. and very few charges of mis-
conduct have been made against them,
though they have built all our fortifica-
tions and superintended all the improve
ments Of our rivers and harbors since the
corps was organized. in which they have
handled hundreds of millions of dollars.
In addition to his natural honesty, Colo
mel Mendel comes to the work he has ac-
cepted after long service in this school of
integrity.
The judgment of such a man cannot
have other than great weight, and it is
to be hoped the result arrived at will
meet with approval. 1t will be a relief
to have this water controversy finally
Of. The people desire the city
to control the water works, and all good
citizens will be contented when that re-
suit is achieved.

early to determine whether the policy
of expansion will prove meritorious.
Men may philosophise. but they cannot

If without war the party would have
been destined to defeat. It must have
been for the reason that its policies on
internal or economic questions were not

There has been no change in regard to
those policies, and none is proposed. The
war has not made them more adapted to
the conditions which have existed. and
still exist, in the country. II anything,
such changes as have taken place rem
der those policies more Objectionable
than they were. Our population and
internal commerce will be greater, and
we shall need more gen.
erous money system. than that which
the administration proposes.
We believe the people will not be so
carried away by the glamor Of military
and naval victories that they will over
look those questions which relate to their
business and social welfare. Assuming
that the Republican party would have
been, and ought to have been, beaten
without war, it Is inconceivable why 1t

GUBERNATORIAL AMENITIES

1t was an interesting and suggestive
episode. that meeting of the rival candi-
dates for governor, on a San Francisco
street, as narrated in yesterdays Her
aid. It was a cordial, friendly greeting,
as might have been expected between
gentlemen who happen to be arrayed on
opposite sides In the political tug-of-
war that is going on In California. OF
course, nothing else than such a greet
ing would have been expected in casual
meeting of Judge Mcguire and Mr.. Gage
by persons who have the pleasure of per-
sonal acquaintance with both. The in
cident is worthy of special mention,
however, because 1t furnishes an exam
pie that less conspicuous aspirants for
public Office might emulate with per-
sonal credit and political advantage.
1t is one of the anomalies of politics
that men, some men, seem impelled to
cast aside personal dignity when they
enter the arena as candidates for Office
They seem imbued with the idea that
abuse and viliflcation are the essential
things in making votes. There could be
no greater mistake. We really believe
that more votes are changed adversely
by this policy than are gained by other
means. II the average voter were
person of deficient intelligence, the low
methods of bar-room politics might be
effective. But he is not, at least not
here in Southern California. A political
contest can be exciting to a red-hot de-
gree without being abusive and vulgar.
If the competitors for governor had pre-
arranged that San Francisco episode
they could not have presented a more
praiseworthy example for other candl-
dates.

BASIS OF REPUBLICAN HOPES

1t is generally conceded and scarcely
no war; the Republican party would be
inevitably wrecked at the, next Novem-
ber election. The leaders and writer's Of
that party have got it into their heads
that in some way, which they fail to
point out, the war will avert disaster to
the party. If the party deserved defeat
without war, what has the Republican
administration done to deserve to be tr-
umphant?
1t cannot be because it was foremost in
urging war for vindication of Ameri-
can rights and honor, and to relieve the
Cubans from distress imposed by the
Spanish rulers, for, in regard to that
the president and his most faithful sup
porters We're laggard, while tho entire
opposition was urgent and energetic.
Nor can it be because the war has been
well managed from Washington, where
the seat Of power resides. Nor does the
administration deserve support on ac-
count of the victories won, for they were
achieved through the courage of the
officers and men Of all parties, and none
of any political class can claim supe-
riority in patriotism or valor
Can it be for the reason that we have
acquired some islands and seem destined
to acquire more? On the subject of ex-
pansion of our domain, or of what Is
termed Imperialism, there is diverg-
ence of opinions in all parties. 1t has not
yet been made political issue, and prob

coal mine owners by fatty refusing to
send troops to protect imported laborers.
He also threatens to withdraw the troops
from the mines where the strike has been
pending for some time, unless the at
tempt to employ imported labor is
abandoned. This determination Of Gov

1t is high time to teach these arrogant
coal barons a lesson. They have too
long been able to pinch miners with
minimum wages and threaten them with
the military power II they ventured to
strike. Nothing. but a degree Of riot
utterly beyond the power Of the civil
authorities in county can justify the
use Of military force. There has been

year-old boy. The jury in the trial

was because the father was poor
plumber, and therefore the value of his
sons life was not $4,000 as it might be If
the father had been a capitalist. a
banker or a railroad magnate. The
plumbers feel aggrieved by this discrim-
and are taking an active inter-
est in defeating man for reelection
who values life according to the cot in
which one happens to be born. This de-
cision is in line with a recent New
Jersey case, in which 1t was held, SUBJ
stantially that a railroad could kill with
impunity children playing on its tracks,
and that, since a child Is an expensive
luxury to parents, the railroad had per-
formed an act of kindness to them in
stopping the disbursements for shoes
and bread, and that the old rule that
life has a value is a fiction of an early
but barbarous age, which culture and
railroads have overturned.
