IL Involves Attacking the Men thu
Uphold the System.


On every side | hear strange insist
ence upon the fact that it is only the
system that is wrong. / hear people
utter the following extraordinary
words: We do not attack individuals"
What, in the name Of the seven plan
cts, can you attack except individuals?
How can one fight a system? If a sys-
TEN came into this room, what would
you do to it? Would you take a gun
or fencing foil or a butterfly net or
horsewhip or a disinfectant?
A system only exists in the minds of
men, and if there is veyy vile system
in the minds of men there must be
something very vile about their minds.
i do not say that they may not have
other virtues along with the qualities
that make the bad system. / do not
say that the upholders of any bad sys-
tenn are without any moral merits.
do not say that Italian brigands are
without any moral merits. But, how
ever good or evil may be mingled in the
character of an Italian brigand, nobody
ever said that in dealing with persons
of that profession you were not to at
tack individuals.
You do not, in dealing with brigands,
say that you merely attack the system.
You attack the brigands-that is. sup
posing that you are in possession of
the adequate bodily courage.-C. X.

Man Darts at Her from a Dark Corner,

Flight

BY the judicious use of a hatpin,
pretty Florence Young, one of the mem
bers of the Buster Brown company, now
playing at the Grand theater, sue
ceeded in driving off a robber who at
tackled her at Second and Hill streets,
and also saved her purse, which con-
tained a large sum of money.
For several evenings recently Miss
Young has noticed that some man has
been following her while she was on
her way home from the theater. Last
night she walked up Second street with
two women companions. When they
reached the corner of Second they
turned to go to their home at 219 South
Hill street. AS they did so a we'll
dressed young man suddenly darted out
from behind a fence and snatched at
Miss Young's hand satchel.
The young woman screamed and held
onto the satchel. At the same moment
she removed a hatpin from her hat and
made several vicious digs at the robber.
The pin reached him. and with cry of
anguish he fled, a light cap he wore
dropping to the pavement behind him.
The women continued on their way
home, and little later reported the
matter to the police, and detectives
were at once sent out after the robber.

SULTAN'S TROOPS
CAPTURE BANDIT
CHIEFS STRONGHOLD
BY Associa ted Press.

TANGIER, Jan. 6.-Zinat, Raj
suli's stronghold, was virtually
destroyed by fire and fell into the
hands of the troops of the sultan
at noon today after short and
almost bloodless fight.
Raisuli and his 700 followers
succeeded in escaping to the
mountains in spite of the clabor-
ate preparations of War Minister
Gabbas.
No firing took place last night
but at 10 o'clock this morning the
artillery opened on the town.
The Moorish gunners showed
utter incapacity in handling their
guns and the infantry fired hap
hazard.
Two shells dropped inside the
fortress without reply and there
upon a body of the sultans troops
charged, shouting, and reached
the walls amid desultory shots
from the surrounding brush.
The town gates were open, but
there were no occupants OF the
place except fifteen prisoners, in
cluded among whom were four
Portuguese.
A detachment of the govern
ment troops continued firing in
the direction of the mountains
where Raisuli and his followers
were observed fleeing.
Meanwhile the other govern
ment troops pillaged the strong
hold.
No fatalities in the fighting to-
day were reported.
1t is thought probable that the
Raisulites carried off their dead.
The Spanish officers of the in
ternational police created by the
Algeciras convention have arrived
heer and will take up their duties
at the end of the month.

If these plans have been

SAYS ARCHBISHOP
IRELAND FOUND FRENCH
NATIONAL WEAKNESS
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
PARIS, Jan. 6-The Temps,
reproducing the full text of Arch
bishop Ireland's recent sermon
concerning French Catholics, con-
siders that the American prelate
placed his finger upon the national
weakness when sparing neither
republican, reactionary nor anti
clerical Catholics, he reproaches
all alike with their traditional
hereditary inability to cope with
the meaning of true liberty be-
cause the idea of the omnipotence
of the state has always been pre-
dominant in France leading to the
inevitable spirit of intolerance to-
ward the vanquished.
Liberty will not be established
in France" continues the Temps,
until the state and every citizen
recognizes that the question of
going or not going to mass con-
Germs the conscience of the indi-
vidual and not the government.
This is what the. French peo-
pie, including first of all Catho-
lies, must learn soon and would
learn if we had many prelates as
liberal as Archbishop Ireland"

FINDS IDENTITY OF
BOMB THR0WER
Person,i Effects of Assassin Indicate
That He Was Rollo Steele of
Garner, Iowa-Negro
Operated On
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6.-With the
finding today of the personal effects or
the man who threw the bomb in the
Fourth Street National bank on Satur-
day, killing Cashier w. u. McLear and
himself, there Is little doubt in the
minds of the police officials that he was
Rollo Steele of Garner, Iowa.
The bomb thrower slept Friday night
at the Grant house, a hostelry on the
outskirts of the Tenderloin frequented
mostly by respectable working people.
He registered as j. r. Steele of New
York and carried grip which he re-
fused to allow the colored porter to
carry to room.
When detectives searched his room
today they found several yards of slow
fuse, a number of detonation caps, a
revolver and box of cartridges, to-
gether with number of tools and some
clothing.
There was suit bearing the tag of a
Chihcago clothing house and pair of
overalls marked with the name of a
Lynchburg, Va, merchant. AS Rollo
Steele was reported to have been in
Chicago and Lynchburg-in the latter
place within few days-the police say
there is little doubt as to the bomb
thrower's identity. 1t is probable that
none of those hurt by the explosion will
die
William j. Crump. negro messenger
in the bank and bodyguard of President
Richard H. Rust of the institution, who
Is the most seriously injured, was to-

such a few hours after the explosion
that he was reported dead, but he rail-
lied and the physicians operated in an
effort to save his eyesight, though his
eyes will never regain their normal con-
dition.

BEARDSLEE WILL
GET SPEAKERSH|P
Indications Point to Election of the
Stockton Man as Speaker of
AssembIy-Stanton Will
Get Votes
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. THE indica-
tions tonight are that r. l.. Boards
lee of Stockton will be elected speaker
of the assembly on the second ballot
tomorrow. 1t is understood that the
Los Angeles delegation will be with
the Stockton man after the first bal
lot Stanton is billed to get COM
plimentary vote from his delegation,
after which the swing will be made.
That alone would not settle the
speakership, but it is known that the
man from Stockton can count on at
least eleven hands from San Francisco
and his friends are claiming sixteen.
There is a large unattached, unor-
ganized delegation from the mountain
districts and there are scattering few
Democrats, and from these A. M.

date, expects to get a big following.
This might be enough to land him.
provided the Sacramento valley dele
CATION would get in line, but Sacra
mento valley expects to ask the legis-
lature for liberal appropriations this
year and it is not thought that they
will appear in the limelight as par
tisans for any man for speaker.
They have no candidate of their own
and it is pretty generally understood
that they will be satisfied with any
good man and are willing to let the
warning factions fight their own bat
tie and accept the winner.
1t is believed that organization will
be affected tomorrow and that the BIZ
ennial message of Governor Pardee will
be received and that Governor -elect
Gillett will deliver his inaugural ad
