CHILD LABOR LAW UPHELD.

The Supreme Court has upheld the constitution
aity OF the child labor law Under the decision it
is unlawful to employ children under Il wears of
age in gainful occupations unless the State Labor
Commissioner or Juvenile Court, after investiga-
ton of the of the work and the circumstances
OF the child grant permit. The decision will meet
with the hearty approval of all who recognize the
fatal folly of sacrificing childhood to commercial
greed.
The abuse is not so great in California as in the
South and East, where children as young as three
years are thrown into the money-making mill to
die in most cases before they are Is or if they sur
vve that age to become stunted adults before what
should be their childhood is half over and broken
down wrecks in poorhouse or prison before they
are 80. The California law is in line with the tardy
legislation of other States where the evil has be-
come a public menace, and is calculated to save
this State from the disgraceful experiences of
others.
The American people, rich and prosperous do
need to sacrifice child life there is no necessity
for it there adults enough to do the work of the
nation. Even If there not, better let work 90
undone than sacrifice the race for its performance
The race suicide to be dreaded is that which pre-
vents the maturing of the children of the people
into effective men and women By sacrificing chill
dren Tor dividends the sweat-shops and the fac
tories OF the East and South inflicted an injury
upon the nation which requires prompt and effective
measures TO repair. California fortunately. needs
little curb for the evil but prevention has come none
too soon. Save in exceptional cases, to be passed
upon by competent authority State as rich as ours
get along without the service of children until
they are at least out of their teens

NOW Is THE TIME FOR
SAN FRANCISCO TO GET
BUSY IN CENTRAL AMERICA

Europe in the price of merchandise Europe, there
fore, enters into the question of competition from
both the Atlantic and Pacific sides as, for example
the Kosmos line carries South Americana Hamburg
freight to points below Callao and continues up
with surplus Of cargoes to Central America to
compete on an equal footing with American manu-
facturers
The freight rates from San Francisco to Central
American ports are, the average much lower
than either European or Atlantic Coast rates From
San Francisco to Punta Arenas, Nicaragua, the
freight on a certain line of articles that is in
demand is so per cent lower than from New York
except on Illuminating OIL Yet we are not sell
ing near the amount of goods to Our neigh
bors that proximity to their markets ought to en-
courage. If New York were not held back by the
cost Of transshpment at the isthmus she would get
a large part of our business. The completion of the
Panama Canal in this respect, might work to our
disadvantage, but it will not if we can increase the
demand for goods to such an extent that the
volume OF our exports will enable us to arrange
for much cheaper transportation
The department has therefore urged the estabZ
lishment OF commercial bureaus in Central America
for the handling of Pacific Coast products and adj
vertisng the Attention is called to the
large importations in Central America of foreign
wines which are not of as good quality as those
OF California. Yet the California wine grower does
not seem to be endeavoring to force the Central
American trade.

CPECIAL AGENT HUTCHINSON Of the De

@ PECIAL AGENT HUTCHINSON of the De-
\ apartment of Commerce and Labor, after care
ful investigation OF the facts, says that San
Francisco has deal of advantage over New York
in dealing with Central American trade. He says
that the physical character of the Central American
republics is such that the densest population and
the greatest commercial activity is the Pacific
coast The supplying of this vast section with ex-
ports from the United States in spite of this Pacific
slope advantage, in large degree favorable to
New York, and this because the merchant OF the
Atlantic side seems to be much more wide awake
to commercial advantages than he OF the Pacific.
New York is endeavoring to obtain larger share
of the business of the Central American republics,
but if San Francisco is alert this cannot be accom-
plished The future Importance of the West coast
as compared with the East coast depends upon a
double set of rates the cost of carrying goods to
the East ports plus the cost of carrying them thence
to the oenters of population in the interior, COM
pared with the cost of carrying them to the Pacific
ports plus the cost Of Transporting them to the in
terror New York has discovered that except in
Costa Rca there is little opportunity of reaching
the centers of population from the East coast on
account of the great mountain barriers. The fight
is now on for a reduction OF freight rates via the
Atlantic and Panama, connecting on this side with
line of competitive steamers.
The difference between the New York and
European freight rates is comparatively small-just
about enough to cover the difference in favor of

FISH OF DENIcKE; FLESH OF BoYNToN.

Justice appears TO have been dealing out damaged
goods in the cases of the two conspicuous calamity
honicides The Grand Jury has declined to hold
Ernest Denicke to answer for the alleged killing
OF n unidentified on the water front during
the ays of the April fire. Denicke has already had
a N li1ninary examination before Justice OF the
Peace Shortal, who refused to hold him for trial.
The decision OF Judge Shorta and the action OF
tle Grand Jury are in direct conflict with Superior
Judge Cooks opinion rendered in denying the ap-
plcation for a writ of habeas corpus asked by Ed
ward s Bovnton held to answer for the murder
OF Heber c. Tilden.
The two homicides are almost parallel Both
were committed during the exciting days of the fire
and those who are alleged to have fired the fatal
shots were in each instance acting under authority
that was no authority at all But while Boynton
has been held TO answer to the charge of murder
a Police Judge and the Grand Jury have refused to
hold Denicke.
Judge Cooks decision in the Boynton case is so
clear and forcibe as to leave no doubt that the hold
ing OF Boynton was justified by the. law and the
facts This being So the opinion is forced upon us
that the discharge OF Denicke not warranted un-
der the same law and similar circumstances. Judge
Cook points that at time during the fire was
martial law declared and that throughout it all the
State law was supreme. Boynton was not acting
under the authority of the State law-and the same
holds true OF Denlcke, but II IS alleged that BOyn-
ton committed homicide. On the degree of that
homicide and the participation of the defendant in it
a competent jury must pass. All this holds true,
or should hold as true, of Denicke of Boynton.
During the days of Denckes preliminary hearing
it was rumored that the political influence OF Abe
Ruef who had been retained to defend Denicke in
the courts, would be employed to save him from
further prosecution. However i'll or we'll founded
this report may have been, it is certainly of
inconsistent justice that the law should be enforced
against Boynton and not against Denicke. The
District Attorney it to himself and to the peo
pie OF San Francisco to exhaust every resource of
the law to bring Denicke to trial Even though Po-
lice Judge and Grand Jury have refused to send
him before trial Judge, there other methods
at the District Attorneys disposal not yet tried.
The case of Look Kee, alias Lee Look, the San
Jose murderer, is in point. A Justice OF the Peace
had refused to hold Look Kee and a Grand Jury
had refused to indict him. but Superior Judge, Sit
ting as committing magistrate, did hold him, and
Look Kee was eventually tried, convicted and
hanged
1t is for a trial Judge to say whether Denicke is
guilty or innocent, and if he be guilty to fix the
degree OF his guilt AS the two stand the diff
ference between the conclusions of the law and its
ministers is evidence OF something monstrously
wrong.

(From the Colusa Sun July 3D.
The editorial copied from the San
Francisco Call OF July 3 is one thas
will go to the hearts OF the residents
of the Sacramento Valley. Covering
as it does the situation so well deline-
ated. it is one of the truest combina-
tions of truth with facts ever pub
lished by a paper out of the Immediate
scenes that 1t so we'll describes. What
it says about the Empire" is not In
the hands of the future, but will ap-
ply to the people of THE Now
There are forces at work that have
brought about the conditions about
which The Call tells it's readers. 1t Is
strange that the man south Of Te-
hachapi should so long have remained
ignorant of the valley The Call speaks
of as an empire" The same things
grow in the valley that the counties
south of Tehachapi produce. But the
lands were so exceedingly rich In the
section north Of the Straits OF Car
quinez" that men held all the land as
long as they could. There was a COM
bination of things that retarded the
progress of the Sacramento Valley.
and now that such papers as The Call
have awakened to the fact that there
will be a big interest centering in the
valley for the city of San Francisco.
the interest in our section will increase
as that knowledge. spreads 1t Is a
plain proposition that town nor city
can prosper without the country
around them is productive. yet IL is
hard to get the busy city to think
about it long enough TO give a pro-

other, for if there had been policeman near there
would have been burglary, and if there had been
no earthquake there would have been no San Fran
cisco fre-perhaps
But if burglary committed in the Bronx
because there policeman present to capture
the thief why should the burglar insurance COM
pany blame the same policeman for not stopping
the burglar when he committed theft in
Manhattan? The policeman could not do duty off
his beat after failing to do it any more than
broken water pipe that failed to put out fire in
South San Francisco could aid in subdung fire
at North Beach that the result of the South

There great many interesting phases Of the
burglar insurance cases and the insurance burglar
cases, and the New York experience does not seem
TO entirely explain the situation.
