Money Madness.
, Bishop Samuel Fallows

BY Bishop Samuel Fallows:
Governor LaFollette has declared
according to report, John ID. Rookie
Teller to be the grentest criminal Of
the age. Miss Tarbell has said he is
money mad Taking it for granted
that his conduct has been correctly
rated, there is not doubt that mon
ey madness has sliced him through
and through. In that madness he
has bitten tens of thousands of youth
and grown-up men. / cannot help
believing that the graft madness so
widely prevailing has an intimate
relationship to the baleful influence
he has Sc widely exerted. There are
Insane persons and criminally insane
characters. We make u fnndameu-
tai distinction betwrri the two. To
which class Of money mad people
does Mr.. Rockefeller belong? The
ordinary insane person has lost the
faculty of judgment. He cannot dis
Germ correctly. Mr.. Rockefeller eitb-,
er is morally defective by nature or
wilfully so. He either is morally
colorblind by his constitution or iIe
will not see the difference between
black aud white. His criminality
depends very largely on which view
il taken by him. / believe him to be
morally defective and color blind III

PEACE rs DfCLAREC.

The Russian aud Japanese ENJOYS
have finally agreed on n treaty basis
Japan's generosity not only wins but
surprises the world. Regarding the
settlement here ia what Walter Well
man Gays:
"To FIJI the measure of her gener-
erosity, japan permits Russia to re-
tain the northern half of the Island
Of SAX hahn, which the mikado could
have held by virtue o. his military
occupation without serious objection
on the part OF Russia Furthermore
Japan recedes from her demands
concerning the limitation Of Russian
naval power in the far East and for
the possession of the Russian ships
interned Ia neutral ports. Tactcally
the triumph is with Russia, and Ser
gius White is the hero of the hour.
Morally, and probably in the solid
advantages gained and in the judg
ment of history, Japan is the victor
Russia keeps her money and saves
her pride. Japan secures the foot
hold on the Asiatic mainland she
had set out for and appeals to the
world for confidence and faith"
President Roosevelt, more than
any other one man, IS to be given
credit for the bringing about OF
peace, aud hi. successful Efforts place
him Mt the head of the worlds great

WHAT TOTEMISM is.
Light on Interesting and Little
Understood Subject

1t Is interesting to note that totemism
Is found not only In Alaska, but among
the North American Indians, the abo-
Africa and even the hill tribes of In
dia. Toteins are also common among
the SaInoaus.
Broadly the totem is the badge of a
clan or tribe, but ii signifies Il great
deal more than mere political or social
alliance. 1t is not only Il tribal en-
bcm, but also IL family sign not mere
~ symbol of nationality. but also
an expression Of religion: not simply
Il bond of union among primitive peo-
pies but also u regulator of the mar
riagc laws and of other social institu-
lions. A totem has been defined as "a
class of material objects which n say
age regards with supersttious respect.
believing that there exists between
him aud every member of the class an
intimate and special relation"
Among the Olibway Indians there
are no fewer than twenty three differ
ent totems. Nine of these are quadru-
peds. marking out the Wolf, the bear,
the beaver and other clans, eight are
birds. five are fishes and one is the
snake,
Some extraordinary supersttions re-
garding totems prevail In Samoa. Thus
it is believed that If n turtle man eats
of turtle he will grow very Ill, and
the voice of the turtle will be heard In
Ia 10 tn 7
killing him" If banana man uses Il
banana leaf for cap he becomes bald.
If Il butterfly mau catches n butterfly
1t strikes him dead. II q fowl man
eats fowl delrum and death results
and so on. all going to show that the
totem has something of the quality OF
fetch ms well rs the significance OF
family emblem.
Regarding totemisn, it Is to be noted
that the relation of mutual help and
protection includes also the totem it
self that is TO say, II a man takes
care of his totem he expects the to-
tenn to return the compliment. IT the
totem is dangerous animal 1t must
not hurt his clansmen. The scorpion
men of Senegnmbia declare that the
most deadly scorpions will run over
their bodies without hurting them.
There is q snake elan in Australia
which holds TO a similar belief Among
| the crocodile clan of the BeChuanas II
a man Is bitten by a crocodile or even
has water splashed on him by one he is
expelled from the elan as one esteemed
| unworthy by the totem -llousekeeper,

A WORD of friendly advice is offer
ed the railroads about their refusal
to grant reduced passenger rates to
land seek in the northern part of
the state, Notwithstanding the rail
road commissions decision that the
law does not prevent the special
rates, The attorneys of the roads say
they are not satisfied with the de-
cision of the commission and the
roads are holding off. The Common
wealth says; There is Il chance, of
course, that the railroads are honest
in their contention, but with the rate
commission holding to the contrary
they cannot blame the public for be-
coming IA bit suspicious that their
policy has been adopted solely for
tho purpose of creating sentiment
against the new railroad law. That
suspicion will gain ground, too, un-
less the railroads take steps to clear
themselves.

DIVULGE SECRETS
OF THE RUG MEN
Witness Explains How New
Goods Are Made
"Antique."

The suit of M. B. Mihran against J. L.
Benguit to recover $1,000, the alleged value
of a prayer rug purchased by Benguit
from an employe of the plaintiff for $50,
is working to the general education of
the public regarding the tricks of the
rug men to ensnare millionaires with
brand new goods, who think they are
buying genuine antiques.
Thomas HI. Kullujian, expert on rugs,
was on the stand in Judge Troutt's court
yesterday, and before Mihran's counsel
would permit Kullujian to testify he de-
manded that he set forth his experience
and establish his right to testify as an
expert. This Kullujian did.
why, there are many rich people In
the city, he said, who have been sold
rugs for many hundreds of dollars. the
dealers pretending they were genuine an
Eque, when they were only acid washed
to make them look old. There are no
large antiques to be had, but large ones
are being sold every day on the pretense
that they are antique.
Just take some water on the ends of
the fingers, rub one of these so-called an
tiques and then smell it. Acid will be
very plain to the nostrils. Maybe rug
was sold for thousands, under guaran-
tee that it was hundreds of years old.
The acid proves it is new rug, perhaps
three months, perhaps three years old,
and it will very soon rot from the acid.
Kullujian promises more revelations to-
morrow, and says that before he Is
through he will have all of the million
aires smelling their rugs for acid, and II
they will hear him he will make them
experts equal to the best that come out
of Persia and Turkey.

GETTING READY FOR
ANNUAL INSPECTION
General Manager Calvin of
Southern Pacific to Make
Close Examination.

superintendent of Maintenance of
Way Wallace of the Southern Pacific,
under directions of General Manager
Calvin, is making arrangements for the
annual inspection of the Western sys-
tenn of the road. A similar inspection
is now under way on the Atlantic sys-
tenn. Few events in the yearly expert
ence of the average railroad man is
looked forward to with as much inter-
est by those connected with the operat-
ing department as the annual inspec-
tion. 1t is a ceremony that means
much to employees of the various divi-
sions. who take good care of their en-
ployers property, for the conditions of
the road for which they are responsible
are carefully judged by committee ap-
pointed for the purpose, and each man
is credited according to his merit as a
caretaker and rewarded.
Medals are awarded to section mas
ters for the best-cared-fo track, keep
ers Of tanks are properly judged for the
manner in which they take care Of the
property in their charge, division super
intendents get their just share of rec
ognition and the whole thing is finally
computed upon a basis of merit, and
stands as a permanent record of the
men concerned. 1.ne fact that General
Manager Calvin is known as one of the
most scrutinizing officials in the West
ern railroad world causes 1t to be gen.
orally believed that the coming annual
inspection will be a record breaker in
the history of the Southern Pacific.

+ LIGHTING OVER
RIGHTS OF WAY
Hartman Quietly Tries to
Block the Route of Local
Company Along the Coast
AGENTS WORKING HARD
Land Owners Showing Favor
to Ocean Shore Line to
Be Built to Santa Cruz

A lively struggle is going on down the
coast between the agents of the Southern
Pacific Company and the newly incor-
porated Ocean Shore Electric Railway
over rights of way. The Southern Pacific
Company. realizing that the new COM
pany is In earnest regarding its proposed
road, has set about acquiring a route
through the same territory that the cleo
trio company intends to invade, but so
far the steam road representatives have
found their work fraught with all kinds
of difficulties. The land owners between
Santa Cruz and Colma are not disposed
to extend any privileges to the Southern
Pacific. claiming that in their experiences
of the past the corporation has not kept
it's promises to build a road and has only
threatened to construct one when a rival
concern entered the field.
A number of times during the past
twenty years, 1T is claimed, the South
ern Pacific has promised to build a road
through that section of the State. but
has never carried out it's promise When
the Ocean Shore Company recently set
about securing right of way the South
ern Pacific hurried number of agents
south to anticipate the rival concern and
tried to get concessions from owners of
land, assuring them of all kinds of facili-
ties for transportation in the future. The
owners, however, turned deaf ear to
the proposals of the big corporation,
and since then all kinds of influences are
said to have been brought to bear upon
the owners, with view of getting them
to favor the Hartman syndicate.
Yesterday it was stated by a prominent
property owner near Pescadero that the
people of that district would favor in
every possible manner the new company,
which is earnestly trying to carry out it's
plans of constructing an electric road
from Santa Cruz to this city. In num-
ber of cases where the Southern Pacific
Company's agents have asked land own
ers for concessions the latter have de-
manded that the Southern Pacific give
some kind of written assurance of its in
tention to build a branch line immediate
ly, but to this proposition the agents de-
INJURED. The Ocean Shore people an
nounced yesterday that they would petit
ton the local Board of Supervisors in
about a week for permission to enter and
lay rails in this city, and that work on
the road will be hurried along as fast as
the grading can be completed and the
material delivered at convenient points
along the route.
