REPUBLICAN ORGANS DIFFER
Boss Ruef Appears to Have Stirred Up
Hornets Nest in the "Grand
Old Party"

From the Fresno Republican.
The Sacramento Union Indignantly
protests against the suggestion that
Abe Ruef may capture the next Re-
publican state convention, as he has
already captured San Francisco, and
foist on the state dummy ticket, with
Schnitz at the head. Says the Union:
To the Union it appears inconceiva-
BILE that the Republican party OF Cali
fornia will permit itself literally to be
CAPTURED by this shameiess schemer.
We cannot believe that a party to
which he has thrice proved himself a
traitor will accept him as a factor In
it's councils, much less as a dominating
leader.
And then the Union threatens to do
a little "traitoring" itself, by support
ing the Democratic ticket, if Ruef and
his gang capture the Republican ma
chine.
But why should we not have Ruef as
controller of the state machine, as die
tator of nominations. and finally as
senator himself? Mr.. Ruef is man of
demonstrated ability, and of personally
clean habits. If he is CRATER, 1t is
merely as part of system founded on
graft, and the reproach belongs to the
system, more than to him personally
His standing as the accredited leader
of the party was attested during the
last legislative session by no less an
authority than w. F. Herrin. whose
leadership the Union has earnestly
commended. When the long suspense
was at last broken, and the slaves who
filed the majority of the seats in the
state legislature received the final
"word'' from their owner for whom
they were to cast the vote of the state
for senator, it was Ruef who was en-
trusted with the sovereign word" II
w. r. Herrin is ft leader for the
party (the Union itself hath said IT,
and II the system by which alone his
leadership became possible is TO be toll
Grated, then there can be no more OBJ
lection TO Ruef bossing the state con
yention than there was to his debating
TO the state legislature. He chose us q
personally excellent and capable man
for senator. There was no objection
TO the man. but only to the authority

doubt, in the annual message. The
somewhat similar question OF putting
life insurance business under federal
control also is likely to be discussed by
the president. Next in public interest
will be the treatment of the Panama
canal question, particularly the para
mount point whether the sea level or
the lock system shall be adopted.
Those issues, however. are only ex-
amples of the especially important work
that will be cut out for congress. As
a whole, the job probably is the biggest
that congress ever has confronted
and as a consequence the session will
be unusually long. Upon the leaders
of the Republican party rests the en-
tire responsibility for the output Of
legislation and the nation will hold
them to strict accountability.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-03
CONGRESS TOMORROW

Tomorrow the first session of the
ffty-ninth congress will begin. This
congress will be remarkable for the
numerical disparity between the politi-
cal parties, although it will not reach
the record in that respect. In the house
of representatives there will be $50 Re-
publicans and 1856 Democrats. No third
party members will be seated for the
first time, with one exception, since
1879. In the last congress there We're
206 Republicans ia Democrats and two
Union Labor men.
The Republicans will have absolute
control of legislation throughout the
session and responsibility will rest en-
tirely upon them. Democrats will stand
for the principles of their party and will
combat all legislation that they may re-
gard as pernicious. but when issues
come to "A party vote the Democrats will
be utterly powerless. Whatever line of
policy the Republican members agree
upon in caucus will go through without
hitch.
The presidents message. which may
not be delivered until tomorrow, VIII be
one of the most important papers ever
transmitted to congress. 1t will deal
with many questions of great moment
to the nation and will clearly define the
executive policy in respect to each of
them. And it is probable that in some
OF the recommendations there will be
points calculated TO cause a good deal
of buzzing in the Republican hive.
Perhaps the most important question
discussed in the message will be the
proposition to enlarge the powers of the
Interstate commerce commission so as
to cover control Of railway traffic rat
ing. The views OF the president on that
issue have been expressed in a general
way. but they will be amplifed, nc

Schools AND RrLIGIoN

In the course Of a recent address to
students of the state university, in
criticism of our public school system,
President Wheeler made this state
ment: The first thing that appeals to
me Is religion. Let the pupil be taught
the religion of life; as a result of this
conduct the child will learn to respect
the things about him, obedience will
become "a habit and he will learn to do
what he is told TO do. Good manners
and proper department will be part OF
the child's makeup"
1t is surprising to notice that Presi-
dent Wheeler has been subjected to
sharp criticism for this expression, evil
IDENTIFY resulting from misconception of
his meaning. The Oakland Enquirer,
for instance, drawing the hasty in
ference that the distinguished educa-
tor would introduce religion" into our
common school system, reads him a
lecture in state law pertaining to the
subject. 1t finally says: president
Wheeler ought to be familiar with the
provision of the constitution of Cali
fornia and the fact that It precludes
religious instruction in the common
schools or in the university"
But in the quotation from President
Wheeler's address, to which exception
is taken, we find nothing to Justify
the deduction that conventional re-
ilgious instruction in the schools was
thought of by the speaker. The word
religion" has a very wide scope of
meaning. 1t goes far beyond the
Specification attached to it in most
of the Christian churches.
1t was religion in its broad ethical
sense. evidently, that President
Wheeler had in mind when he was
delivering that address Directly fol-
lowing the remark about religion ap-
pealing to him as the first thing, he
explains: II mean, not the use of any
Of the institutions set among us. Many
of our university boys are handicapped
by lack of good manners, and for
this reason fail to get along. All this
is part of that which I call religion"
A humorist of the last generation
said, in substance, that the religion he
admired was the kind that showed in
down weight at the grocery. The re-
ligion that President Wheeler extols
is the kind that is calculated to make
better boys and girls at school and
consequently better men and women
later in life.

SCHOOLBOYS HAZE A GIRL

STAMFORD, Conn, Dec. 1.-Janes
Schantz, Thomas Hickey and Charles
Pugley, boys ranging in age from
twelve to fifteen years, were punished
for hazing in the police court here to-

scratched and bruised. She reported
the matter to Principal O'Neill and
Schantz was kept In school during the
noon hour. When school reconvened
Schantz whispered to the girl. Il will
fix you after school,"
The Parker girl was accompanied

Some distance from the school Schantz,
Hickey and Pugley appeared and
struck her with cudgels. She fell.
dazed, and the boys walked away.
Presently she arose and started off to-
ward home. Schantz caught her by the
throat and started to drag her toward
a clump of bushes where Hickey and
Pugley stood.
Nov we will show you how to be
proud" said Schantz. I'VE are going
to take that pretty dress and send you
home without it."
Schantz was beginning to fulfill the
threat, when one of Miss Parker's girl
friends struck him a blow in the face.
This enabled the little captive to arise.
Just at that moment her twenty -one-
year-old brother Wyman drove up, and
Schantz and his comrades ran off
through the fields. y.
The story of the affair spread through
Springdale quickly and the settlement
was highly indignant. According to
the police, some of the Springdale peo-
Pile wanted to get together in body
and seize the boys and tar and feather
them.
This morning each of the boys was
fined ten dollars.

SUPERVISORS MUST DECIDE

Next Tuesday, as now understood, the
county supervisors will decide whether
the big corporations shall get practical
control of the inner harbor at San
Pedro by the scheme of securing the
incorporation of the village of Will
mington as a city. If the supervisors
consent to the making of n city out of
the village, solely for the furtherance
of the corporate harbor scheme the
corporations will expect to hold the
winning hand in their fight with the
people of Los Angeles county The
three corporations seem to have no
doubt of their ability to carry an cleo
ton on the incorporation issue, in view
of the many employees they control in
the village and near enough to it for
service on election day
The real issue involved in the fight
for Wilmington is whether the corpora
tions shall be allowed. as has been ap-
propriately said, "to build a fence
around the inner harbor." If they win
in the fight the material for the fence
and the means necessary to build it
will be at their command. Wilmington
is the key of the situation, and with
that secure an advantage would be
obtained that might prove to be con-
elusive.
But the supervisors control that key.
If they decline to permit the corpora
tions 10 work their scheme of convert
ing the village into a city, the harbor
fencing proposition will fail. 1t is upon
the supervisors, therefore, that the re-
sponsibility now rests. They are the
official representatives of Los Angeles
county and they are the trusted GUS
todians of public interests therein. 1t
seems quite improbable. in view of the
facts, that the corporate interests will
prove stronger than the interests of the
people.
1t would be a grave reflection upon
the character and fidelity of the su-
pervisors to imagine for moment that
they would lend their aid to the furth-
erance of the scheme which the corpo-
rations are attempting to hatch at Will
mingtOn.

THE BYSTANDER

which controlled his choice. Why can
we not trust Mr.. Ruef, who seems to
be a shrewd judge of men, to choose
us q personally excellent man for gov
ernor. too? And if he is fit to choose
us governors and senator's, and to be
the repository of the sovereignty of the
Southern Pacific railroad, why not
Ruef himself for senator? He is
typical product of the system; as good
as any, and ADLER than most.
The truth is that we shall all be
wasting our breath, unless our anti
Ruef howl goes much further than
bowling against Ruef. Opposition to
Ruef, in the secret interest of some
rival boss of the same system. is worse
than Vain--it is dishonest. And even
honest opposition to Ruef, which does
not go through him to the system, is
sheer stupidity. II the state Legislature
is today composed of slaves, they might
as well be owned by Ruef as by any
body. In fact, his gang in the last leg
islature made a rather favora BILE show
of other owners If the state organiza-
ton is to be run by Herrin, anyway,
in the interest of his railroad instead
of by genuine party leaders, in the in
terest of the state. the immediate fore
man might better be an intelligent man
ike Ruef than some of the mutton
heads we have been having. 1t is the
system that is rotten-Ruef is merely
the most skilled cleaner of it's garbage.
Let us have revolt against the whole
system. And If the system shall for
once be subservient or impudent
enough to stake it's successes on the
personal victory OF its own most typical
product, then let us thank the system
for making the issue clear.
But there is no halfway method of
reforming the Republican party organ
lzation of California possible. Until we
are ready to rout the whole gang OF
bosses, with their whole machine, and
invite their uncompromising hostility
we may we'll continue TO submit to
their dictation and pray that they may
never send us worse master than Abe
