THREAD

HVERY mothers daughter of us

Ia interest to note that the thread
trust-ever know there was such a
thing as thread trust st?-announces net
profits of over $15,0OO,0OO on the bus-
ness of the past year. A dividend OF
20 per cent, with an additional bonus
of 10 per cent is about to be handed out
to shareholders.
III this connection it will be still
more edifying when we are reminded
that some time last summer. we believe,
the trust announced an increase in the
price of thread. The retailer couldn't
split a cent. so he tackled cent--that
is our recollection of the increase-on
the price asked for each spool; per-
haps some OF them boosted it up still
higher.
There is one thing more that is
instructive. in this connection. We not
only have trust-which did not exist
before the high protective tariff went
into effect-but we have a. duty of one
half a cent to pay on every spool of
thread imported into the United States.

Head of Central NationaI--Is
Thoroughly Familiar
with Finances

| William Mead resigned the presidency
of the Central National bank yesterday
and George Mason, who has acquired his
interest. was elected president to sue
ceed him.
When the Central National bank was
organized last August and Mr.. Mead ac-
lcepted the presidency it was understood
by Mr.. Mead's associates in the bank
that he desired to be relieved of the bur-
den of that position as soon as the or
|ganization was completed and the affairs
of the bank were running smoothly, 50
that he could devote himself more fully
to his private interests.
Arrangements were practically COM
pleted for Mr.. Mead's retiremen last Oc-
tober, but the financial stringency COM
ing on at that time it was deemed best
to postpone any change until the pres
ent time.
George Mason, who was elected presi-
dent to succeed Mr.. Mead has been a
resident of Los Angeles for the past
twenty years, and during that time has
been known as capitalist of large means
and a public spirited citizen.
Before making his home in Los Angeles
Mr.. Mason was successfully engaged in
banking in South Dakota. Since his resi-
dence here he has invested largely in real
estate, including the Mason block on
Fourth and Broadway in this city, which
he built for the chamber of commerce,
afterward remodeled and at the present
time owns.
Mr.. Mason's reputation as a conserva-
tive business man gives assurance of the
careful and conservative management of
any institution with which he is con-
nected.

The crowds that hung about the
entrance to Justice Chambers police
court during the preliminary hearing in
the case of the murderer of Patrolman
Lyons, every man apparently intensely
interested in the outcome of the exam
ination, illustrates the tension under
which the inhabitants of Los Angeles
have been living as the result of the
reign of terror inspired by the presence
of the race track thugs in this city.

A GOOD SIGN?

H}HE Hon. James N. Gillett. by the
grace of the people of California
= and the Southern Pacific machine
governor of California. needs new
shoe. The one he is wearing appears
to pinch too hard for the comfort of
the governor. In a recent public
speech the governor is reported to have
said:
'I think there is at present too great
a tendency in our national life to black
en- the memories of others, whether liv-
ing or dead. Many there are who would
rather tear down than build up, would
rather smirch than cleanse, destroy
than create. When you see such man.
no matter if he be talking on the street
or from the rostrum or indicating his
thought in magazines, give him plenty
of room, for he is evil"
We surmise that the governor has
not only taken sly dig at the presi-
dent of the United States and Lincoln
Steffens, but has vented his spleen on
the anti-Southern Pacific movement
within the Republican party in Califor-
mia and on those newspapers which
have been calling attention to his most
flagrant dereliction of official duty.
When the governor awakens from his
nap he will probably agree with him
self that none is apt to speak i'll of the
living unless the living deserve it. 1t is
not likely that the newspapers of a
state, with here and there an exception,
and thousands of responsible individ-
uals will conspire to ruin the reputation
of an innocent man, whatever his posi-
tion in life. No man, especially no man
in public life, can hope to neglect his
duty to the people and escape censure,
particularly in these days of enlighten-
ment
Is the governor growing supersensi-
tive? If so, it is a good sign.

but the value OF the, raw material
doubtless does not exceed one-fftieth
of cent, at an average high price for
cotton. Add to the one-hftieth of a
cent the cost of manufacture-but why
go into the question so minutely? Every
person of intelligence knows that the
thread trust is one of the meanest
forms of oppression which the protec-
tive tariff has made possible. so we will
let it go at that. If the American peo-
pie want to make 80 per cent dividends
for the stockholders in the thread trust
possible that is their prerogative.

DIDN'T THINK

/" HAT at first account is believed
wv to have been the worst casualty
In the history of mining in Amer
lea occurred yesterday at Monongah,
w. Va, when an explosion which was
heard eight miles distant occurred The
early reports from the scene of the dis
aster are to the effect that about three
hundred men were entombed and that
most if not all of them will lose their
lives.
The cause of this calamity has not
been definitely ascertained, and may
never be discovered. The management
of the mine expresses the belief that an
explosion of coal dust occurred, bury
ing the workmen beneath the ruin
wrought thereby. This is probably
what transpired. More explosions in
coal mines result from the contact of
unprotected flames with coal dust or
coal damp than from any other cause.
Catastrophes Of this character almost
invariably are the outcome of careless
ness Like explosions of gasoline stoves,
they might easily be prevented by tine
exercise of precautionary measures that
are now we'll understood by coal min
ers. That three hundred lives should
be snuffed out in the twinkling of an
eye as the possible result of one mans
thoughtlessness is a sad commentary
on one of the most common shortcom-
lngs of humanity. This is the fault
which affiicts the man who didn't
think"
