A Graft on the Relief Supplies.

Mori,z Thompson, mlllmsn, OF
:, attic, was III san Francisco a short
time ago, and put a stop. temporarily
at least, to a transaction by moncyed
men that bears all appearances OF the
worst kind Of graft, protiting their
bank accounts by sacrifice OF the
means provided 10y generous public
for relieving distress. Among the ar
ticles donated, especially from this
State, were large conslgnment- Of
wheat and flour. That tins should re-
suit in a surplus of that product, for 4
time, was quite natural, hut il was n
product that would keep" and main
tain a value recognized as n measure
of sterling worth by the expression
good as wheat"
1t seems that a syndicate was organ
lied to purchase the 10000 barrels Of
flour. in possession OF the relief COM
mittee, at 1925 per tarrel. Mr..
Thompson, ON hearing this report, inn
mediately visited the committee, who
admitted they had practically sold the
flour at that figure. He entered q Wig
orous protest against thus sacrificing
product donated for relief of the
suffering people, and put i'll a bid
ten cents per barrel higher, which
would have yielded the committee
81 900 more. This led to submission
OF the flour to bids, and Mr.. Thomp.
sons representative, under competi.
ton, ran it up to figure considerably
higher than that submitted by his
principal, but the committee an
nounced that the matter would be
held under consideration till the 4th
inst.
Certain it is that Mr.. Thompson's
presence broke into finely laid scheme
for despoiling the relief fund. He says
the flour should bring 81 per barrel.
CHAMPION HEARST.-Another indi-
cation that Mr.. Hearst's whole soul is
with the people, in any emergency
that appeals for philanthropic aid, is
shown by his employment of force OF
the best lawyers and opening head
quarters in San Francisco for prosecu-
ton OF the claims OF those holding
policies OF insurance, which since the
ashes have cooled are met with all
sorts Of frivolous excuses for delay or
utter reputation. 1t WAS announced,
while the fires were burning that all
the companies would pay their losses,
but it was either q pretext to take
advantage of delays in filing proof, or
a change OF heart as the corporations
become more accustomed to contem.
plation of the widespread distress. 1t
is indeed fortunate that the victims
have so valiant aud resourceful q
champion to espouse their cause, and
the chances are that many claims will
be paid to those who had not the
money for making the fight. Chief
Justice Beatty, and his colleagues OF
the Supreme and Superior Courts,
have announced that all insurance
cases will be recognized as of general
public importance and heard without
delay.

THE Tacoma Ne,cs wants somebody
TO discover an appropriate adjective to
apply to the boy graduates. The word
"sweet" universally accorded to girls
on receiving their diplomas, does not
seem to fit at all. The comprehensive
term of women for all excellence in
the range OF vision, "cute," might do
for some wee specimens of humanity,
but il would be at q sacrifice OF dignity
to apply it to many of the stalwart
youths who take the degree of honor
in emerging from the high school.

SUICIDE OF A CoNGREssMAN.-Repre.

killed himself by pistol shot, at the

Speaker Cannon, in which he stated
that his personal obligations exceeding

act. He wrote also that while he was
willing to be buried at public expense,
he did not want committee appoint

always been opposed to that custom.
He was AZ years Of age and was born
in Philadelphia. The stock market

OILY UpI.. ASH.
FRlDil NOniING. JUNE s. 1906.
Has Almost Had HIS Day.

President Roosevelt, while he has
been having better than the usual
success in that very dililtult act OF
riding two horses going in opposite
directions, now seems to be in t!.at
wohhly condition that precedes fall.
such performance generally ends in
immediate prcciritatiun into the
muck. 1t was a success, however, in
the matter OF the railroad hill, on
which, with the aid of Senator Tllman
and his Democratic colleagues, the
President was enabled to secure a
very marked modification OF the Re-
publican idea as to the scope Of au-
thority of the courts service in cases
appealed from the Interstate Com.
merce Commission. He was thus en-
tled 90 SECURE an enactment that, while
not entirely satisfactory, is better than
nothing. The question OF bad faith
docs not figure in the least with the
rough rider, who uses men Of all par
ties as pawns, when he finds it possible
thereby to win game.
Then again in the matter OF the
most absorbing public Importance, the
hauling up OF the Chicago packers to
the ball ring, the President had fully
made up his mind to suppress the
Neill-Reynolds report, even after a
vigorous demand by Congress that the
facts be submitted; on the plea that
the report was but verbal, and accom-
panied by but brief memoranda of facts
and figures. 1t seems, however, that a
cookie cur, the press, by some means
got hold of those facts, and made q
full expose OF the nefarious methods OF
poisoning the people by decayed and
diseased food, and now the indefatigi.
bic rough rider, making virtue Of
necessity, and believing that the strong
hold for political influence is with the
people, has abandoned all pretense Of
good faith with and protection of the
packers, and joins in the hue and cry
against them.
A Chicago special of the 9Th inst.
states that the packers only await re-
turn of the exile, j. Ogden Armour,
from Europe, to begin plan for ruin
OF the political pres tige Of the Presi-
dent. 1t contemplates enlistment OF
all the trusts and corporations which
the President has used az cats'.p
i'll powerful combination OF millions
invested in the big trusts, TO compel
his support, or at least abandonment
OF bis present determined attitude
against them. They declare Roose.
Welt is no longer to be trusted by them
that the trend of his policies are
towards Socialism, and they cannot
afford to trust future possibilities with
man OF as radical mind as the
President.
The insurance companies are in a
frame OF mind to endorse every word
OF that statement. The very fact that
they had paid out freely their millions
for his success, with the idea of protec.
ton uppermost, is now used against
them by the publicity which that
meddlesome fellow who raised the lid
-Lawson-has disclosed.
Uneasy must lie the head which
wears q crown of thorns like these.
Uncertain must be the foothold on the
giddy heights attained by this waif OF
fortuitous circumstances.

Publicity HAS STARTED REFORM IN
Stock YARDs.-One visible effect Of
the late packing house exposures has
been to have the floors cleaned, and
more light and ventilation provided,
says dispatch of Wednesday. Signs
have likewise been placed all over the
plants, enjoining cleanliness, and all
employees have been told that expector.
alton on the floors will be followed by
discharge. Tobacco chewing is strictly
prohibited. The city has taken up the
matter by appointment of three SAM.

to carefully examine the health condi.

ship. He has declared in favor OF the
city owning a slaughter-plant, where
the packers would be compelled to kill
their cattle and prepare all meat for
sale under municipal supervision.
