A RADICAL PROPOSAL

Nothing more radical in humani- tartan ethics has been advahced than the segregation of all parents who are morally and physically unfi. to bring healthy children into the world. a plea urged before the American Humane association at it's session in Chicago
 The author of the idea expects that the Humane association shall make it one of the main issues which that body will try to have enacted into leg islation. It is extremely doubtful whether any state in this day and age, would assume to go 50 far to- ward controlling personal liberty. As a debt to society, the question would have a decided bearing, but the con stitution seems to be in the way, and 1t is hardly likely that an amendment could be secured in that direction
 Pagan nations antedate us in the exercise of states right to demand that the robustness of the race shall be ordered beforehand. These re- strictions were removed as civiliza- ton began to dawn. but perhaps with no betterment of the rights of the children. The. proverb of the sins of the fathers being visited upon their children still holds good, but any ef- fort on the part of the Humane asso- citation to correct the influences that make it true would be without the de sired effect.

THE RISE OF SILVER.

The secretary of the treasury has refused an offer of silver at I2 cents per ounce on the ground that the
 price is too high. but the offer is
 of interest as marking the recent rap
 i'd advance ir the price of silver.
 In 1873 the value of an ounce of
 silver, 1000 fine, taken at the aver
 age price, was $129S. from which price there was a steady decline until
 1902 when the price was 52793 cents per ounce. In the former years the ratio of silver to gold, according to Soetbeer, was 15.92; in the latter 3915. In 1896 the ratio of the white to the yellow metal was 30.s6. and in 1897 it was 32.56. so that in the
 latter year many persons-tired of the 16 to 1 agitation-were willing to settle the bimetallic controversy by a compromise on g to 1; but the
 continued decline to 39.15. with re-
 viving prosperity and the rapid h. crease in the gold output, caused loss
 of interest in the topic. Since 1902
 silver has been increasing in average
 price, with the result that the ratio
 has undergone decided changes. In
 1903 1t was 33.10: in 1904. 35.70: in
 1905, 33.S7, and in the present year
 the suggested compromise ratio of
 g to 1 has been passed. and at last
 Tuesdays price of T 1-2 cents per ounce, the ratio was 2S.91 to 1. If
 the price of 72 cents per ounce be-
 comes the market price. the ratio will
 be 2863 to 1. The ratio g to 1 was reached, indeed, in November, 1905,
 when silver sold at prices ranging from 63.570 cents per ounce on No vember 4. to 66.017 cents per ounce on November 25, making an average ratio of 3201 for the period.
 In the remaining weeks of 1905 the price of silver had a fairly steady rise. and in 1906 the active demand of India for silver has caused a con tinued rise. till. as already stated, owners of fine silver now ask the government to give them 72 cents an ounce for it. The value of the silver in 1 a ''standard' dollar has had corres- l bonding increase. h 1871 the value If the silver in dollar was $1025; ! in 1873. s1.004; in 18S3, S5.8 cents; in l 1893. 60.3 cents; in 1902. 40.S cents | With silver at 72 cents an ounce our ] standard" silver dollar would be | zolth intrinsically 557 cents.

submitted in Arizona the gamblers have gone down for the count. In Phoenix. as in the election in Doug las, the issue was unclouded by any other issue; 1t was yes" or mo" on the question of stopping gambling. amounting to over two hundred ac- cording to dispatch received by the editor of this paper.
 C result of the Phoenix election on gambling means more in the fight against this evil than would be at first understood by those who are not informed of the fights made in the leg isiature in the past by the gamblers of Phoenix, under the leadership of Gus Hirschfeld, the gambler prince" to prevent any legislation for the reg ulation of gambling in the territory. Now that the city of Phoenix has put the gambler out of business he wIii have no further interest in what kind Of legislation is passed for the sup pression or gambling Tn all parts ol the territory: this victory ip Phoenix will TO doubt give the members of the legislature the courage to put an end to the gambling evil in Arizona.
 In Phoenix the battle was waged by the newspapers. the churches. the business men and all who stood for right against wrong and the victory was a glorious one.
 The indications now point to the swift passage in the coming legisla- ture of a law for the suppressing of gambling h Arizona and 1t is to be hoped that the punishment will be made sufficiently severe to efectually suppress the monstrous evil.

TRICKY LEGISLATION EXPOSED.

The rationale of those great mess ures. the meat inspection and the pure food laws, about which the Roosevelts and Beveridges boast so loudly, is by degrees leaking out Their primary object was to secure, by actula binding and riveting. a clear monopoly of the American mar ket by excluding all foreign products of that class. That is the Roosevelt ian fly In the ointment. Speaking of the benefits to the manufacturers of food products and medicines, the New York World says:
 If their products must be inspect ed in order to be shipped from one state to another, how about articles canned or packed abroad9 Will all foreign meats and meat products have to be excluded after October I? Will no American from that date be allowed to taste German sausages or timed tongues or potted meats, or even gelatine made in England or France, unless he voyages across the sea? It looks possible. Perhaps the beef trust. after all, is to have its monopoly bound and riveted by act of congress.
 Doubtless there are plenty of other trusts that would be glad to submit to government inspection if 1t implied an absolute prohibition on all com peting products. Even the Dingley tariff does not afford that kind of ul- tra-protection-"
 So. the milk in this reform cocoa nut is "ultra-protection" and monopo- ly, after all. It amounts to revising the tariff upwards to the prohibitive point. That effect 1t will surely have, while 1t Is exceedingly questionable if 1t will produce anything like the ef- feet of cleansing or purifying the pro ducts of monopolists. How long will It be before we have a clamor for the inspection of dress goods and clothing. shoes, kid gloves. furniture. etc. from manufacturers of those articles? The cry for inspection and regulation will be added to the old discredited cry for protection as watchwords of the C. O. P. There Is an old saying, "the label promises remedy. but the box poisons." which is applicable to all republican reforms"

A TIMELY WARNING.

The New York Times, an independ- ent paper that fought Hearst in the recent New York campaign, sounds tlis warning:
 'If the chief men of our great COT. pcrntions and industrial concerns are not absolutely bent on provoking up teavals that sooner or later will put a Hearst into some place of power, it is high time for them to take tkc cuSht about their behavior.
 "A policy of continued provocation, of cold looded defiance of the pre- vailine popular spirit, will presently bring them face to face with more serious troubles than in the past have confronted them. It is for them to mix some reason and consideration with their schemes for power and gain If they are men of sense they will take as a special warning MT. Hearsts uncomfortably near approach to a victory. It should serve as a warning, also. to those who have led or joined in incorporate assaults upon the business of tho country, to men who in high or humble places have, by profuse and ill-judged utterances. reused the spirit of reinstatement and correction to a pitch of passion far beyond the public need. It Is possi- ble to set our house decently in order and to establish just relations be- tween man and man without turning looee social forces that produce the disorders of a gale MT.

GOVERNMENT VI. STANDARr Lil

The statement of attorney General Moody filed in St. Louis in the Unite5 States court makes clear the vital i'm portanoe of the governments fight against the Standard oil company as compared with the inquiries and pros cautions instituted by various states.
 Mir. Moody relates that since the be- ginning of federal effort his depart. ment has been visited by represents tives of the trust with oyertures for a compromise, which were refused.
 The significance of these overtures is that the Standard Oil stands in wholesome dread of any earnest ac- tion by the government. It is also an admission by the monopoly that it's own position is weak and that, on the other hand, the government has gen ufne case if it is honestly pushed.
 The alarm of the trusts able law yers also permits the inference that Standard Oil is not so perturbed over state investigations or prosecutions. Nowhere in any state investigation have It's representatives shown the white feather. On the contrary, they have sought to impede and embarrass inquiry by availing themselves of the states restricted authority to compel the furnishing cf essential informa- ton.
 State prosecution has given the monopoly an oportunity to delay the definite results of investigation by msHng it difficult and in some in stances almost impossible to secure the attendance of vital witnesses be- .cause Of the limited jurisdiction of the iiaie courts. Where conviction has teen obtained in state courts. the fual execution Of thc judgment has been stayet by sesc-ting to technical appeals to court. of 'rh,- jrr.sdic- ton.
 The Standards lawyers kncw that it's security from dissolution as mo nopcly in restraint If trade rests in its network of ilterstata interests. which make t-ese separate fights against it's corporate life unavailins. Its scope of operation is too compre- hensiye to be much affected by either scattered legislation or prosecution.
 Although busted from doing busi- ness as a trust within the boundaries of one state. it has been shown how it may still control the supply of that state through connections, in other states. This is evidence enough that nothing but vigorous action by the government can effectually crush all the notifications of unlawful combina- tions of trade.
 The state might accomplish this af- ter years. by concerted effort, but the natural division of state interests gives no hope of such relief. The peo- pie are in no mood to wait genera tior before the burden is lifted and. therefore. they look for prompt and decisive results fpom the government if the law supposed to prevent such combinations as the Standard Oil has been framed to stand the test

A6usEs oF THE TELEPHONE.

ueIePSOWe.
 A Massachusetts court has ruled that it Is not an actionable misde- mesnor for a wife to call up ner nus band on the telephone day and night, even though 1t be malicious He adds, however. that one owning a telephone could probably secure an injunction preventing anyone from makns his life burden in this manner.
 It is by 10 means an uncommon form of persecution. and since the h. vention of the telephone there have been many persons who scanned to feel that 1t was manufactured for the sole purpose of killing time. A ''prac- ticai joker in Los Angeles e few days ago ribbed up" 175 people to call up another man on the phone and ask him fool question. The victim of the jest was called to the telephone every five minutes or so until he com pletely lost control of his temper and untitled the bell, taking his chances on missing some important business communication.
 Constant abuse of the telephone has almost rendered it hindrance to business. Besides the smart alecks who use the telephone as a toy to annoy busy people, there is the nuis- snce who uses the community wire for gossiping purposes when others need it for business. Then there Is the provokingly impertinent individ- uel who always asks: Who is this?' instead of stating q wish to speak to Mr.--." It is none of the callers business who answers a phone. If he or she has a message for the house or firm called up deliver it promptly or ask for the person de- sired.-Ex.

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NAPLES, Nov. 10.-At noon today
Mount Vesuvius and the surrounding
villages were shaken up by kind of
earthquake, which was accompanied
by detonations and followed by a con-
siderable fall of ashes, especially over
Ottajano, which was destroyed dur
ing the eruption of last April and is
now In course of reconstruction The
phenomenon caused great alarm. rt'
Investigation showed that part of
the crater of the volcano had fallen in.
During the afternoon there were
three more slight shocks in the Vesu-
Wan region and further discharge of
ashes, which was blown in the direc-
ton of Pompeii and Ottajano.
Thus far Naples has not been affected
by the eruption, although a dark
column of smoke ca.r be seen from this
city lowering over the crater.
Professor Matteucci, director of the
Royal observatory on Mount Vesuvius.
in an interview with the Associated
Press, said:
II do not believe this is a new erup-
ton, as all the phenomena preceding
such an event are lacking. l think
the rain of ashes was caused by the
slipping down of the superior lip of
the crater, and that the earth trem-
blings were due to water from the re-
cent heavy rains, having reached the
fire zone inside the volcano, producing
an internal explosion"

FLAMES DESTROY
PACKING HOUSE
BY Associated Press.

SAN JOSE, Cal, Nov. 1O.-The burn
ing of the Rosenberg Brothers packing
house near the Broadgauge depot early
this morning resulted in total loss
of $23S, 600, as follows:
Main packing house, with machinery.
100000; Weber warehouse, $4,000;
prunes in packing house and thirteen
carloads of prunes on a nearby switch,
$105 600 fourteen cars, one loaded with
box shocks, $2S,000.
The bulk of the insurance is placed
in San Francisco and cannot be ascer-
tanned. the total insurance with local
agents ON buildings and contents be-
ing only $59,50O. The loss on the cars,
owned by the Southern Pacific COM
pany, is fairly well covered by insur-
ance.
The fire is believed to have originat-
ed in the boiler room. About 5000 gal
Ions of crude oil were stored in the
basement beneath the main packing
house and this took fire in the early
stage of the conflagration Switch en-
gines succeeded in hauling out nearly
hundred cars which We're threatened

Special to The Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1O.-Richard
Dowdall, recently sent to prison for
fifty years on charge of holding up
former Coroner r. w. Leland of this
city, will in all probability exchange
his stripes for Il suit of citizens clothes
and walk forth a free man within a few
days.
Just how it seems to be placed be-
hind the bars of penitentiary. with a
sentence hanging over you which. if
served, means that nevermore will you
asee the light of day, hear the sweet
songs of the birds, or be able to con-
verse with members of your family,
and then to suddenly be granted a full
pardon, Richard Dowdall could tell if
he would.
But added to the apparent hopeless
ness Of his case was the knowledge that
he was as innocent of the crime as a
babe unborn. He had sinned before,
in fact h9a been. criminal and hao
served tilnG but when arrested he was
a free man and to all intents and pur-
poses attempting to make the best OF
what remained in life for MIN.
At the time of the hold-up Dowdal
was arrested and accused of the crime
He happened to be in the vicinity OF
the robbery, and his past counted
against him. Then, TO make the case
complete, Mr.. Leland identified him as
one of the hold-ups. The rest was easy
and Dowdall was promptly headed for
the penitentiary.
Today however, letter signed by
Assistant District Attorney Hanley and
Assistant District Attorney Heney and
District Attorney Langdon was for
warded to Governor Pardee asking for
Dowdall's pardon, and it will unques-
tonably be granted.
The communication was accompanied
by affidavits from DR.. Leland and Mr..
Heney, together with the confession
of the gas-pipe thugs, Dabner and
