Speak the Truth.

Speak the Truth. :
The campaign of 19O5-'OS
is on. A political "landslide''
vibrating or lettering between
the two old parties doesn't by
any means decide the issue
raised by the Prohibition par
ty. The chief arguments of
the opponents of Prohibition
are these two
1. You are dcpriving men
of their personal liberty"
2. You can't enforce it.
In regard to the first argu.
ment, we admit the truth of
it to a certain extent; but
many who make it do so with
out considering any Of the
principles upon which a re.
publican form of government
is built; and it is applied to
the Prohibition party by as
suming or charging that par
ty with some things which
we think greatly misrepre-
sents it. For instance, the
question of what a man shO'd
eat and drink is not involved
in the Question at Ill, except
remotely and indirectly. The
whole argument of the party
on the liquor question is sim
ply this, that It is d sin and a
crime for the government to
grant a license I'd a saloon.
keeper. That is d principle
of government, as well as pol
tiles, that has nothing to do
with the question Of what a
person should eat and drink.
Other serious questions are
involved In this issue Of no.
license, viz: opium dsns and
the social evil.
As Prohibitionists see it, If
license policy is to prevail, i,
must Inevitably lead to the Ii.
censing of these other evils
also. !.
Many people are not Prohi.
bitionists because they believe
the traffic should be wisely
regulated instead of prohibit
led. The Press can agree
with them add still be a Pro.
hibitionist. It can still stand
on the Prohibition platform
and when the issue becomes
the ruling power in politics
its program would be as fol
lows:
l. Amendment to the us
constitution
any state or territory from
passing q license law.
4 2. Repeal of all laws tax
ing whisky, beer, ale, etc.
8. Congressional laws pro

LENGTHY TRIAL
NEARS AN END
Taking of Testimony in the
Eppinger Case Is COnclud-
ed and Argument Begun

The taking of testimony in the case
tanning money from the International
Banking Corporation by fraud, ended
yesterday morning and at p. m. At
torney ]. c. Campbell made the open
ing argument for the defense. By
agreement the time for argument was
set at three hours for each side. Camp
bell occupied one hour; Shortridge, for
the defense, took up an hour and a
half with a few minutes thrown in for
good measure; Dunno will have anoth-
er hour and a half this morning; Dis
trict Attorney Byington two hours and
Ach will not be heard at all. Through
out the trial the most of the question
ing has been done by Ach and he has
left the argument to his associates.
The case will go to the jury some time
this afternoon.
Attorney Campbell, in his opening
argument without any attempt at
on what grounds he expected a con-
viction. Shortridge, for the defense,
was his direct antithesis. With i'm
passioned language and many gestures
he pleaded for his client, whom he de-
scribed as "penniless, broken in health
and bounded and prosecuted by a COM
bination of bankers
Attorney Campbell's opening state
ment in brief was as follows:
Gentleman Of the jury. the criminal laws
of this State are to protect you as much as
arbiters. We said at the outset we would
bring the facts before you believe we have
unraveled the tangle and laid bare of
the most gigantic frauds ever perpetrated on
the mercantile community.
The San Francisco call., 1904-07-22
BANK WAS DEFRAuDEp.

TIE question is did Eppinger & Co., on April
"a 1903, commit the crime charged We start
with the undenied fact that the bank was
defrauded of S9SOO. In some manner the note
found its way to the International Bank and
from there to the London, Paris and American
Bank. The money was paid out on receipts
for wheat which was supposed to be in the
warehouse. but which had actually been shipped
away in December of the year previous. Not
a kernel oftha wheat was in the warehouse
when the note executed.
The next question is. by whom was the firm
defrauded? 1 want to deal only with uncontra-
dicted evidence. Can there be any doubt as 10
Colonel Beck's testimony? When he asked
what had become OF his wheat he was referred
TO the firms lawyer who, in turn, referred
him to the books of the warehouse. These it
has been admitted, were removed at dead OF
night and have since been concealed. Why
were they not produced in court?
The books of EppingeI & Co. which were
produced show balances OF 81 600 tons of grain.
When the bookkeeper was asked where he got
his information he said ii from reports
regularly laid on the deek of Jacob Eppingcr.
You have learned from the lips of Jacob 8
own clerks that he the head of the firm
and attended to the business. You have also
had no cash on hand or no grain of any conse-
cuence.
The Indictment was found on July II, 1905,
and Bernard Ettlinger left this city in January
of the following year. Is it not strange that
during all those months il he is the guilty
party. as charged by the defense, attempt
was made to prove 1t either at the Grand Jury
not until Jacob was placed on trial that the
blame was laid on Bernard.
For the defense, Attorney Shortridge

UNION DEFENSE
IS PRESENTED
Judge Mcguire Argues His
Side of Stablemen's Case
and Van Ness Answers Him
NEW LAW is IN ISSUE
Union EyadeS Responsibility
for Assaults = Rights OF
Employers Are Discussed
NEW LAW is IN ISSUE

The courtroom of Superior Judge
Hunts department was not large
enough to accommodate the crowd that
asked for admission yesterday to hear
the argument of Judge Mcguire In oe-
fense of the Stablemen's Union, ana
the answer thereto. by I. c. Van Ness
representing the stable owners and the
Citizens Alliance.
Judge Maguire's talk occupied all OF
the morning session and part OF the
afternoon. He devoted the greater por-
ton of his argument to the contention
that the acts of assault complained OF,
and proven in the testimony, were
committed by men who had not been
identified as members of the stable
mems organization. Furthermore, he
said that the commission of such acts
would have been against the interests
Of the union in its purpose to accom-
plish the ends contemplated, namely,
to compel Pierce to employ only union
men.
Judge Mcguire declared that the
criminal things done were not contem-
plated nor sanctioned by the union. He
said that violence usually accompanies
strikes, but that it was because of the
thieves, bandits and camp followers
who usually collect at a disturbance in
order to satisfy their thirst for brutal
ity.
he charged IndI fleICS " DIS OSUdilSu
from equity, because he was not with
out fault himself the fault consisting
of the alleged fact that his non union
watchman was paid by the Citizens
Alliance.
In supporting the constitutionaltty of
the law of 1903, which prevents inJunc-
tions against boycotting unions, Judge
Mcguire maintained that the act was
not one of special legislation in that
the law restricting the use of injunc-
ton is directed against seven other
classes besides that of employers. He
contended that the criminal acts COM
planned of could be prosecuted under
the criminal laws and that the tempo
rary injunction issued by Judge Hunt
was an additional statute providing an
uncertain penalty for an uncertain
crime.
Mr. Van Ness answered the argument
and declared that all of Judge Ma
CURES points were unsound in that it
was attempted to deprive a property
owner of his rights without the guar
anteed recourse in the courts of equity.
Van Ness held that there was abso-
lutely no remedy, if the act should be
constitutional, for the outrages COM
mitted by unions under the name of
strike and boycott.
The decision of Judge Hunt will be
followed by an appeal to the Supreme
Court.
