pie do not know where they "are at"
The fact that the Republican party peo-
pie "have sought to extirpate evils in
herent In our commerce and did not
extirpate them is what we are finding
fault with.
That destroying of the bad and pre-
serving of the good is whisky cocktails
or buttermilk punch, just as you like,
and altogether too Pickwickian for us
who know nc good in trusts of any sort.
The thing you are bringing to the solu-
ton of the trust problem, Mr.. Fair
banks, is stuffed club, and the judg-
ment used in its use is certainly enlight-
ened if not exalted. The American peo-
pie will not go far astray on the great
question of the age, never fear; and
the public conscience is fully aware of
the necessity of a sleepless vigilance
toward the Republican wirepullers and
pre-campaign orators, that said party

a dinner pail said to be full of fine
whisky cocktails which will prove to be
only poor article of buttermilk punch.

REPORT OF SAN FRANCISCO
FUND TO BE READY SOON
Acting Secretary Gurley of the cham-
ber of Commerce Appears Be-
fore the Board of
Supervisors

To explain the disposition of the fund
contributed to aid the San Francisco
sufferers a year ago, Acting Secretary
Gurley OF the chamber of commerce APP
peared before the board of supervisors
yesterday.
The supervisors asked for. the report
some time ago, when an application was
made for $4,000 appropriation for a
county exhibit at the Seattle fair. AT
that time it was said that the greater
part of the $4,000 appropriated by the
county to the general fund was as yet
unexpended and it was suggested that
part of this money could be used.
The fund was in the care of the cham
ber of commerce. so that body was asked
to report.
In reply to question by Supervisor
Eldridge, Secretary Gurley said de-
tailed report would be ready in few
weeks.

Y. M. c. A. IN HIGH SCHOOL
IS NOT AGAINST THE LAW
Complaint Against Association in the
Whittier institution. Not Upheld
by Office of District
Attorney

According to an opinion addressed by
Hartley M. Shaw, deputy district attor-
ney, to Mark Keppel county superin-
tendent of schools, the Whittier Union
high school may conduct Y. M. G. A.
without violating the section of the code
providing against sectarlan or denomina-
tional teaching in the public schools
1t was stated by those who were in dis
favor of having the association at the
school that a certain period of the school
day was set apart for the meetings of
the association. Since the complaint was
made this is no longer the case.
Mr.. Shaw said in his letter: II de, not
think that the existence of Y. M. c. A.
and Y. w. c. A. in high schools, inde-
pendent of control and interference by
the faculty, constitutes violation of the
law.
THE prohibition is only directed to the
teaching of sectarian and denominational
doctrine

SAWTELLE MAN RAISES
SUPERIOR CONCORD GRAPE
Is Larger and Richer Than Eastern
varlety--Has Sweet Fig That
Does Not Sour on
Trees

S. H. Taft's semi-tropic nursery at
sawtelle is becoming the mecca for Los
Ange.enos in whose mouths the delicious
taste of the eastern Concord grape still
fingers.
Concord grapes are ripe on Mr.. Tart
vines, but they are euch Concord grapes
as no easterner ever tasted before. They
have all the delicious aroma and flavor
of the Concord. but are much larger
and richer. Each grape has but one or
two seeds. Frank Virgins, secretary of
the chamber of commerce, has chrietened
this grape the California Concord.
In addition to the California Concord
Mr.. Taft also makes a speciality of rails
ing fig trees. His careful culture has
produced a fig that he calls the Kadota.
1t is much superior to the White Pa
cific. 1t is very sweet and fine in tex
ture The Kadota has never been known
to sour on the tree, and this virtue is
possessed by few fig trees.

BUTTERMILK PUNCH

TT is humorously ascribed to Vice
President Fairbanks that when he
Il was accused of furnishing whisky
cocktails to his guests at Wheeling he
conclusively proved to his detractors
that the drink assailed was in reality
only buttermilk punch. This showed
good generalship, by leaving the mat
ter in pleasing state of doubt-the w.
c.. T. u. holding him up as an ensample
of goodness, and "the boys" just shout
ing for him as zone of them" Good as
this stroke of policy is it was beaten
in his address at Sacramento on Mon
day, in which he delivered himself OF
the following, among other good things:
We are in the midst of prosperity
the like of which was never before seen.
Can we utilize it to our benefit? Can
we retain it, or will we distrust each
other and involve it all in hopeless con-
fusion? There never was an hour when
it was more important that we should
be governed by, sober judgment. We
should sedulously cultivate a tolerant
spirit and a spirit Of Justice toward
each other. We should not forget that
confidence is the sure foundation of
prosperity and progress, and we should
have care that we do not UNDER
mine it.
Our rapidly multiplying industries
and increasing population give rise to
new questions which tax the wisdom
and patriotism of our people. In recent
years we have cut out some of the evils
which inhered in our commerce between
the states, under the sharp and certain
condemnation of the written law. We
have sought to extirpate them in the
interest of fair play. We have pro-
ceeded advisedly, not blindly, to destroy
the bad and preserve the good. We are
bringing to the solution of these and
other problems an enlightened judg-
ment and exalted purpose. We are
solving them and will continue to solve
them according to the principles of JUS
tice and in the interest of wholesome
trade and commerce. The American
people do not go far astray, because
there is a national conscience which
never sleeps, and their conclusions are
reached by it's unfailing light.
AS a piece of non-committal oratory
this is gem. At the risk of the charge
of impudence we inject a few inter-
polations, setting forth truth as Demo
Gratis see it, knowing full well the
while that others have a fine subject
for comment in the same words:
Our prosperity is great. but the riders
who are in the saddle have spurs, and
use them cruelty on the patient people
We can and do distrust each other, ani
there is abundant reason therefor. The
robber tariff is the only purveyor Of
hopeless confusion the people know
We are and mean ITO be governed by
sober judgment, and that tells us thai
If we would be rid Of killing tariff tax
alton we must first be rid of the party
that fathers it. President Roosevelt
by and with the influence of stock man
ipulators, is exceptionally tolerant II
spirit just now and exhibits an interest
in Wall street methods thatis positively
startling; what more, could you ask
Yes, our rapidly multiplying industrie.

PUNCTURE LATEST
BRIDGE SCHEME
VISIT STRUCTURE
AT ELYsIAN PARK
Find That Steel Is Sound and Only
Concrete Piers Need Bracing.
Main Street Needs Un-
derpinnlng

All the city councilmen except Pop
Blanchard visited the north end bridges
yesterday with Messrs Edwards and Hub
bard of the board of public works to see
what the necessities are.
City Engineer Homer Hamin accom-
panied the party as guide while at the
bridge. officials of the street depart
ment were in waiting.
The Main street bridge was visited first
at the request of Councilman Healy, who
had gone ahead in a buggy and had a del
egation of constituents, led by f. w.
Hunt. A. J. Norton, d. r. Groves G. L.
Hanly D. NJ Myer and others in waiting.
This bridge has four huge concrete steel
shell piers as supports, but the fact is
that the sand under these piers has been
washed nut and the concrete masses are
resting on ties placed crosswise under
meath them The first heavy rains will
wash the timber supports away If drift
wood comes, while<the current will rout
out more from under the piers.
Piers Are Suspended
If this happens the piers will be hang
ing on the bridge rather than bracing IL
up, and crash will follow.
The councilmen agreed yesterday to
give authority to hay new deep concrete
bases or footings under these concrete
piers at Main street so that they Will
serve the purpose for which they were
erected-to support the old steel bridge
erected twenty-one years ago.
Then the party scurried over to the
Buena Vista bridge.
Here steel bridge in fine condition Will
be moved away if plans as proposed carry
and another bridge will be erected trans
versely so as to divert traffic from the
Downey avenue bridge.
The Southern Pacific is now trying 10
convince the city officials that 1t Wouiu
be small loss to the city to let the COM
pany slice a big section off Elysian PARK
so that two or three more tracks can be
put down.
Triple Efficiency
The wards of the company would have
tneir efficiency tripled If three more tracks
could be laid where the Elysian hill now
serves as a barrier. This would mean
also that the supports of the Buena vista
bridge would have to come down or the
entire bridge moved.
Opponents of the removal scheme in the
First ward say boldly that the plan to
move the fine structure is the work OF
Southern Pacific agents, who by moving
the bridge can more easily get yard room.
The projecting hill, it was said to the
council yesterday would, If moved De
worth $250,000 to the company.
Most of them openly remarked that the
old bridge was good for ten years yet-as
Engineer Hamlin had stated-and that all
of the lawmakers would be subject to re-
call if they permitted such scheme to
60 through the council.

r. Flores Gets $40 or Twenty Days
However, for Flourishing Dainty

Through Interpreter

A pretty diminutive pearl handed re
yolyer has been the cause OF consluerapie
trouble to T. Flores, who nourisneu =.
o,,ce TOO often and was arrested Monday
for carving concealed weapons.
In court yesterday Flores was given
the choice of SO or twenty days.. So far
the $40 have not been forthcoming ana
Flores is having time to think matters
ever in the city jail.
Flores is unable to understand why
such a big fine should be imposed 1or
such little gun. He explained to the
Judge through the Interpreter that the
gun was very small and the offense was
therefore a correspondingly small one.

ASKS BATTERY WARRANT;
HAS EVIDENCE WITH HIM

James E. Ryan presented a sorry spec
tacle at the police station yesterday
morning when he appeared to swear out
a charge of battery against AL Young.
There was ample evidence to support the
case as Ryan's face resembled raw
beefsteak more than a human counte-
nance.
The trial of the case will take place
in police court today. Young's bail was
fixed at $500 The two men are said to
be employees of a local ice company and
got into row over some trivial matter
about loading ice wagons.

A cowARDLY MOB

| HHE murderous assault upon the car
crews by union labor paraders in
! San Francisco Monday was das-
tardly and cowardly in the extreme.
J These carmen were acting in accord
ance with orders from the police
authorities and felt they were doing
just what was right and what they be-
lieved to be the very thing to avoid the
trouble that was thrust upon them.
The cowardice and cruelty of mob
rule has ofen disgraced San Francisco,
but never in meaner manner than
this. Hundreds of men thronged two
or three cars and made common cause
against four or five men, and the one
pleasing ray of light in the contempt
had the courage to defend themselves
against the overpowering and murder
Gus mob.
No honest hearted man, whether i'll
the ranks of union labor or in any
other, or no organization, can excuse
the cowardice that the mob of union
men showed on this occasion, and
whatever remnant of sympathy their
cause had in San Francisco is de-
servedly forfeited because of it,
The protestations of union labor
there, that it did not countenance vio-
lence, ETC., are no longer credible, for
all that was necessary to loose the
devil in this mob was an opportunity
to assault a few men, apparently-to
the mob-unable to help themselves.
The cars were, to their anger, as red
rag is said to be to vicious bull, and
their onslaught was equally as free
from any care as to results.
One shudders to think what might
have been the fate of the brave carmen
had Jerry Dinan been in control of the
police Capt. Candy and Chief Ander-
son did all they could under the cir
cumstances and are to be commended.
The mob was prined to fight and would
have found opportunity somewhere. 1t
is up to the authorities there to seek
out the men who led the murderous
assault and bring them to speedy trial
and punishment.
In keeping with the whole shameful
mess are the contemptible words of Cal
houn, who used the awful occasion as
a vehicle for voiding his spleen on
Mayor Taylor over the heads of the
riotous union labor men. After con-
demning the mob in general terms he
said: 1.-THE appointment of one of the
prominent members of the ways and
means committee of the strikers to the
position of the head of the beard of
public works, thus giving the indorse-
ment of the new municipal administra-
tion, is certainly not calculated to pre-
serve the peace
Just what relation the appointment
of an official to the board of public
works could have on cruel and cow
ardly assault like this one is known
only to a brain like Calhouns. When
the day of reckoning comes for him the
above unmanly fling at better men will
not increase sympathy for him.
