Captain Griffin has helped to organize

Griffin will probably be compelled to
make serious private sacrifices on again

Ex-Convict Pedaras Goes Back for
Fifteen Years.

Joe Pedaras, who pleaded guilty sew
eral days agosto having burglarized the
chicken house of Mrs. Rose Motroni, al
Second and S streets, was yesterday
morning sentenced by Judge Hart to
fifteen years in Folsom Prison.
PedaraS has a very unsavory reputa-
tion having already served term OF
three years in San Quentin for horse
stealing, and since his discharge from
that institution he has been engaged
in many chicken house raids.
Judge Hart remarked that chicken
stealing was one of the most contempt
ible offenses under the law, as in many
instances people depend on their poul-
try for a living.
The Judge also stated that inasmuch
as Pedaras had not been out of the
State Prison very long, and had at
once resumed his criminal ways, the
court believed that his former incar-
ceration had not acted as an object les
son to him, and that since his release
Pedaras had been very industrious in
the chicken stealing business, all OF
which the prisoner admitted.
Pedaras was taken to Folsom Prison
on the afternoon train by Deputy Sher-
if FriSbie Smith.

The San Jose Mercury" says:

There are a few unknown traitors
down in Los Angeles who have been
engaged in tearing down the American
flag. They should be run to earth and
sent to Alcatraz. AS the Times" says,
treason is odious. An attack upon the
flag is an act of treason. It is in effect
an act of war, and every loyal citizen
is justified in regarding it as SUCH The
man who assaults the flag is a public
enemy"
It is a great pity, lamentable pity,
that Los Angeles people cannot discover
and lay hands upon the dastards guilty
of this offense. 1t might not be bad
idea to hang men who thus deliberate
ly assail the hammered emblem of the
nation It would be an act of fitness to
use the halyards of the flag for that
very purpose. Shooting is too good for
such wretches.

BELKNAP IS RIGHT.

Admiral Belknap is right. naval
campaign cannot, as he well says, be
run from Offices in Washington. Place
all the naval book writer's and theorists
on earth, eminent though they may be,
on strategic board and that body can
not fight single successful battle at
sea by wire. The most it can do is to
give the lighting men all possible infor-
nation as to our own and the enemy's
strength, outline the general policy to
be pursued, and then trust to the men
of the navy to win as best they can
under such circumstances as they en-
counter.
Suppose that Admiral Dewey had fol-
= lowed his instructions to the letter, to
= keep eight miles away from land bat
teries, would the victory of Manila have
been to day recorded in history? For
tunately for Admiral Dewey, at the
close of his orders there was warrant
for his doing as he thought best, and
that saved the situation.
Would any strategic board possible
to be formed, costly ensconced in it's
Offices on solid land, have issued an or
der to any naval commander to do what
Dewey did, slip into an enemy's port
between land batteries, over a nest of
mines in the blacklist hour of night,
just before dawn and take the chances
of the whole fleet being blown to the
skies? Assuredly not.
Let US give our men Of the navy the
best possible tools, equip them with all
knowledge of the situation, tell them
of the policy of the Government, and
then turn them loose to execute. A
strategic board is necessary. The pres
ent one is sound in composition, but
Admiral Belknap tells US that there is
not a man on it who has seen actual
service, or handled a gun in battle, or
acted on a deck slippery with blood,
and in the smoke of battle.
The present board is disposed to give
the naval commanders pretty free rein,
and for that it is to be highly COM
mended.

Riverside provided its Company G
with a contingent fund Of two or three
hundred ollars to be used for the COM
forts of the men in hours Of necessity,
and to testify to the appreciation Of the
patriotism of the men in enlisting, by
the citizens of Riverside. A good
idea. Two companies have gone out
from this city, and it would not be
amiss to provide each Of them with a
neat contingent fund to supplement
the small sum they receive from the
Government Such provision was not

Chief Justice Beatty, in his thoughtful
speech the other night in this city, we'll
said that the American navy had never
been defeated when pitted against an
equal force. We develop the men for
the navy, he said, fit in education, cour-
age. wit and resource. But we have not
given these workmen the tools they
need No artisan, however skilled, can
succeed without the tools of his trade
at hand in plenty and of a good order.
Congress has been niggard in the
matter Of building the new navy. 1t
ought to be to-day twice the size it is
1t is cheaper and wiser to have naval
strength sufficient to command the
peace, protect our commerce and our
citizens and inspire respect for our
rights, than to trust to our reserve
power" our capacity to rally at a mo-
ment's notice to the defense Of our
rights.
That ability is wonderful among this
people, but it is not sufficient Our re-
serve power must have tools to work
with. as the jurist said, to make it's
spirit effective. The President Of the
United States was blamed for delay by
the ION to Havana" shouters. But he
knew better than they that we We're not
ready. Here is the American nation be-
fore the world with this unconcealed
condition of affairs, namely, that we
have been nearly a month mobiIizing
an army Of 10000 men or SO, and as yet
we have not been able to move soldier
against the Spanish power in Cuba, or
TO convey single shipload of supplies
TO the suffering and starving people of
that devoted island.
Assuredly we were not ready, not pre-
parf-d with even the most ordinary ar
dcIes necessary to the soldiers outfit
ing for campaign. Neither in uni
norms, arms, camp utensils, uniforms or
blankets, were we ready. We have call
ed into the field volunteer force of
125,OOO men from among the National
Guardsmen, and 10! we discover that
there is not Quitting provision for 30
oOO of them to-day. We are rushing
about the country in hot haste to gather
what we may for the equipment of these
men when they are once in camp and
succeeding fairly well.
Emphatically President Mckinley and
his Cabinet knew that there was reason
for all the delay we could secure: they
knew our state Of unpreparedness; thew
know to-day that even with the navy
we have the loss of a single ship will
cripple US; that we can i'll afford to see
the smallest of our cruisers go to the
bottom.
In our emergency we have called into
use every hulk that can be had, and in
a rapid but not wholly satisfactory
manner have armed and manned them
as auxiliaries. We have gone abroad
and purchased ships of war that other
nations were willing to part with that
they may procure better, and have in
vaded the shipyards of the world for
vessels in stock and idle for want OF
purchasers.
Under these circumstances we are for
tunate that we have done SO well. But
still we are not equipped as a nation OF
this Importance should be-as it must
be if it is to preserve its standing among
the peoples Of the world and afford that

A battle is expected to-day off Porto
Rico Let us be prepared to hear of
losses this time. It is scarcely think
able that we can have another naval en-
gagement of great Importance and not
lose a man. War means the killing of
human beings. 1t means destruction
Of ships and fleets and armies, but these
things are not accomplished without
the extreme risk of suffering in like.
Whatever our prowess, our naval
strength and our skill, the enemy has
ships and guns and skill also. 1t is
fighting now as the desperate do. 1t
will inf1ict injury upon our forces. War
cannot be fought out to a successful
peace without loss Of life. We will win,
but we must expect to consecrate vic
tory with American blood and treasure.
Let optimists not lead our judgment
astray. We will have some hard fight

Italy is having a heap Of trouble"

pathy to expend it needs it for use at

has not been averted. Indeed, the
conditions of war seem to prevail in
many respects. But Italy will control
these plotters and hold the King upon
his throne The conflicts now going
on will not ripen into a genuine revolu-

sufficiently strong, we apprehend, to
keep the nation out of a revolution for
which it is not prepared, and for which
there is. at this time at least, not the

We have been told that the American
navy is made up of foreign born men,
for most part, below the grade of COM
missioned officers, and that Spanish
statesmen have relied upon the as
sumed fact that these men would not

wounded in the Manila battle; seven of
them We're American born and one a
