s0S Broadway. Nov. Is
Harry Jurgens. who sold a glass OF beer
70 a lady In the Watts Tract. and who
was arrested because he did not have a
license. was discharged to-day because
the jury could not understand why the
lady in the case was not put on the
stand. The lady is the wife OF Tom Ma

The defendant Is a German. and the dep
uty. having a wife who can talk Ger

good piece OF work 10 take her 70 Jur-
gems saloon and lay the foundation for
an arrest. The beer was brought, the
lady drank and paid for II, but was not
put on the witness-stand.
The propriety OF putting a lady on the
stand In liqucr case caused a bitter ar
gument between Prosecuting Attorney
Beach and Attorney Tom Garrity. Gar
rity repeated many times the statement
that the. absence OF the lady was a con-
fession OF weakness on the part OF the
prosecution and also cast many slurs on
a license Inspector who would resort %
such means 20 catch a poor Old man
selling 10 cents worth OF root beer with
out license. Again and again did Gar
rity demand that the woman be produced
or the old man released.
Prosecutor Leach. the Beau Brummel
OF the Alameda bar. warmly came 20 the
defense OF the lady. He charged Mr.
Garrity with lack OF gallantry and chiv-
AIRY and extraordinary bad taste In even
limiting that a mans wife who had merely
helped her husband IN his lawful bust
ness should be dragged into a police
court and made 20 tell OF purchasing and
drinking that glass OF beer in the Watts
Tract q month ago. Mr.. GarTity and Mr..
Leach exchanged many left-handed COM
pliments over the delicate question. and

sos Broadway Nov. 10.
Next Monday evening, when Mayor Snow
again appears before the Council in con-
nection with the $500 OF commissions
which he withheld as Auditor. II is said
that he will present an entire change OF
front and that instead OF asking and
pleading for a continuance and oblivion
he will take the matter into his own
hands and order the City Council. as
Mayor OF the city, and command City
Attorney Dow. likewise as Mayor, TO i'm
mediately bring a suit 10 determine the
legality OF the action Of the ex-Auditor.
Ii was expected that MIR. Snow would
have administered a coup 10 his political
opponents and have. appeared armed with
the necessary resolutions 10 Immediately
carry out his. dictatien. That he did not
do so, but advocated delay and in a meas
ure temporiZed, was a great disappoint-
merit TO some: Of his stanchest friends.
Since the matter has become so. public
and the words .tnnecence" and guilt"
have been used in. connection. with the
situation. Ii is said that Mr. Snow con-
siders. he Is justified in changing. mis- mind
and In demonstrating the truth OF his
statement that he was entitled 10 every
cent paid TO him out of the city. treasury.
The matter has reached such a point that.
as one Of the Councilrnen. said in meeting.

nothing now. remains but TO push the
matter to an issue. -
Everybody. is busy explaining that the
bringing up of.the matter OF. commissions
is entirely devoid of politics. No one-not
even the Mayors bitterest political enc
nlies-will admit that he was induced 10
say a word about this $500 because Of the
desire TO hurt Mr.. Shows administration
All declare that it Is simply a:'friendly
SUIT. and. they are. all anxious that Mr..
Snow should win.
Mr.. Saow's supporters fake the ground
that the whole thing ts based on politics
and that he: should take hold OF the: situa-
tiQn with an iron grip and force the CQun-
I ell and the City Attorney 10 do his bid
ding. The Mayor will not discuss the
matter for publication. but says that
enough publicity has been given 10 the
matter already.

DEWEY FOR PRESIDENT.

Dewey ought 10 be president Of tn,
United States, for several good reasons
Chiefly for the reason that he IL 4
man Of action, and would under all cir
Gumstances act Of his own motion. lie
would do what he though was right, and
II there is any one thing that this coun-
try needs moro than another II is that, lie
would receive his orders from the proper
authority-the people-and he would
carry them out on time, or few days
ahead. And when II was necessary he
would act without orders. lie would do
like Abe Lincoln when that statesman
signed the emancipation proclamation /;
he wouldn't wait for instructions, but
when he thought thing ought 10 bo
done he would DO II aud then he would
stand by what lac had done. Iihe made
u mistake, lac wouldn't try To whitewash
il over, but he would counsel with the
best men in the country and undo II.
The nomination Of Dewey would oil.
inmate from the platforms the money
question, the trust question, the tartii
question and even the expansion Ques-
tion, not because he possesses great wis.
dom ON all these questions, but because
the great American people would have
confidence that he would do right. lie
might not do just the right thing at all
times, hut the people would have cont
denoe that he would not do the wrong
thing II he knew il.
We do not know at this writing
whether the great naval warrior is
Democrat or Republican, whether he |
is AN expansionist or not, whether he is
a bimetalist or single standard man,
nor do We know his views on any Of the
mooted question OF the day. We ds
think We know, however, that man
who knows his place as Dewey docs, and
who acts upon what he knows Is this
man does, would be- a safe man s.sd .
desirable man at the head OF our great
md good nation. The American people
sould be willing 10 accept him as their
candidate without asking questions and
Without platform ple,lge. Aman who
hould be elected president under such
onditions could not but make a good
president.
