HIRED DESPERADoES

nARADING gun men at San Fran
cisco at this time will probably
4 do more to prejudice decent peo-
pie of that city against men under
Indictment and about to go before a
Jury on charge of bribery than any
other action.
Are those who are to be placed on
the witness stand to give testimony
in the case of the people against TREY
l.. Ford and Patrick Calhoun to be
intimidated by desperadoes hired to
thwart justice? \
Gun men exhibited by officials of the
Mine Owners association at Boise did
much to win sympathy for friends and
attorneys Of Haywood. Bad men from
mining camps will do much to rob
those on trial at San Francisco,
charged with unspeakable corruption,
Of any feeling Of pity or sympathy
they might otherwise awaken.
An attempt to intimidate by threats
of death any of those interested in the
prosecution of the alleged bribers will
seal the doom of those on trial. Ac-
tual violence would be the last act to
sink San Francisco beneath the con-
tempt of the world.

GOOD ROADS

OF all the object lessons on good
roads, state or national, ever
" given that of the trip of Ezra
Meeker with his oxcart from Puyallup.
Wash, to the Battery in New York
city is the most effective. In 626 days
this pioneer of western civilization
trekked back over the route he came
fifty years ago and with the identical
cart and yokes used, and has proved
to all the world the important fact
that the country between the eastern
and western coasts may be traversed,
even by an oxcart. The further
thought is vitality important; that If
an oxcart can be driven over roads
as they now are, what might not be
done in the way of transportation and
travel if the roads were as level and
clear as congressional and state action
could make them.
In the killing grasp of railroad mo-
nopoly the people have been driven
to some solution of their unbearable
condition, and the development of our
waterways has been a result; but the
development of our roadways on a
scale commensurate with national
needs would go a long way toward
solving existing troubles.
The great advances made in traction
and machine power of all kinds, added
to through roads of broad area and
level and lasting construction, would
be combination over which the rail-
road manipulators would lose sleep
and the one potent force to be warred
against in obtaining this combination
is that same united railroad lobby.
| State roads between navigable
streams and federal bridges over the
streams, with federal aid in necessary
stretches where state finances may moi
be for any cause available, would
work a healthy and desirable change
in present railroad tactics, and develop
thousands of square miles of territory
which without them must await the
whims of railroad owners. Interstate
commerce ~over interstate public roads
would be a vastly different proposi.
tion from that which now saddles the
people over steam roads, and the fur.
ther fact that the government, moi
corporations, was behind the roads
would insure freedom in traffic thai
Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-21

would tend to enhance values where
now jackrabbits and railroad holdings
reign supreme.
If the states of Virginia, Maryland,
Pennsylvania and Mississippi had been
traversed by good roads in the SOS
the war of the rebellion could not
have lasted over the first year; and
IL ever war shall come upon our people
in any section of the land the surest
means to make 1t short and decisive
will be good roads to and through all
parts of it.
Aged Ezra Meeker. doggedly plodding
his weary way over the thousands of
miles between the oceans, is the most
eloquent plea for the blessing of good
roads ever made, and the real states
men of the day may grasp opportunity
in the coming congress, not only to
benefit all the people, but to enshrine
themselves sin the lasting glory of the
age by hearing and needing Meeker's S
silent yet eloquent plea for good roads
for all the people.

FREE RETAIL MARKETS


| w ITH so much that gives good
w cause for regret assailing the
resident of San Francisco il
appears he also has here and there a
blessing coming to him: this time In
the final smashing of the retail fish
trust by the board of state harbor
commissioners and the establishment
| by them of retail market where the
catch and the people good weight for
their money.
In seaport large as San Francisco
it is strange that food products of the
sea should be held at almost prohibi-
tive prices, but the peculiar workings
of politics have made it possible for
'the gang" to accomplish this, till the
San Francisco Chronicle took up the
cudgels for the people and waged in
cessant war on the trade harpies who
robbed the poor under organized form;
and with the aid of a harbor COM
mission free from entangling alliances
that paper has succeeded in accom-
plishing what seemed before to be the
impossible.
For years past the produce wharves
of San Francisco have been the strong
hold of trade pirates who levied on
the poor till reaction has come as the
result of desperation and the work has
been so thorough and is to be so far
reaching that poor people-or rich
may now obtain the ordinary products
of the orchard, farm or ocean at
reasonable prices and the producer be
sure of fair return for his labor.
The one persistent fly in the oint-
ment of the Los Angeles housekeeper
is the ever increasing cost and ever
decreasing condition of the daily sup
ply for the table, such as fruit, vege-
tables, milk, meats, ETC., and the pres
ent system of produce middlemen sad
dies the same difficulties on the local
that have resulted in free
dom for the people of San Francisco.
First class marketable fruit and vege-
tables are sent to outside markets for
higher prices and what is culled from
the daily receipts is held at prices
which make it difficult for many to
use 1t at all. Relief under existing
conditions is out of the question, and
only when the limit of forbearance is
reached-soon, let us hope-may we
look for a general uprising of out
ragged people and the institution of
ren1adia1 rnna s1iras
Under the concerted manipulation of
produce middlemen fruit is more costly
and of vastly poorer quality in Los
Angeles than it is in Boston, and when
men from the home of good vegetables
see the refuse offered in this market
and learn it's excessive price much of
the good accomplished at great cost
and labor through our advertising
agencies is lost, and the visitor, equally
with the resident, asks: when will
better things be?"

FAMOUS
TRIAL
FEDERATION MINERS
CASE in IDAHO.
THURSDAY THE BEGINNING OF
LONG AND TEDIOUS
BOISE TRIAL.

William D. Haywood, secretary and
treasurer of the Western Federation
of Miners, will on thursday be placed
on trial charged with the murder of
ex. Governor Frank Steunenberg Of
Boise, Idaho.
In all, four men are in custody
charged with the same offense; they
are William D. Haywood, Charles Fl.
Meyer, the president of the Western
Federation of Miners; George A Petit
lone, former member Of the execu-
tive board of the same organization,
and Harry Orchard, a member of the
federation. OF these men, Orchard, 1t
il alleged, has made confession in
which he admits that he killed the
former governor and in the same con-
fession, it is alleged, duplicates the
other men under arrest, together with
others, as being accessories before the
fact. Under the law of the state Of
Idaho, while it Is admitted that Hay.
wood, Meyer and Pettibone were not
in the state of Idaho at the time OF
the murder. they are charged with the
actual murder, the contention under
the statute being that they were On
the spot in spirit, that they planned
and therefore comprised the death Of
Governor Steunenberg.
