RYAN's OPPORTUNITY

A s foreshadowed by The Herald, the
N press of the state sees the real
IA danger in the candidacy of Ryan
for mayor in San Francisco. 1t sees
also the dire probability of the election
of the Mccarthy forces and the conse-
quent doom of that city to more years
Of strife and turmoil.
The San Francisco Chronicle, in COM
menting or Ryan's acceptance of the
Republican nomination, in black letter
double column editorial says;
"The moral collapse Of Daniel A.
Ryan is deeply regretted by every lover
of San Francisco, 1t is not question
of the rise or fall of one man. 1t is n
question of whether the people will ever
again trust any man who appears as a
leader of reform. Or. Taylor has the
confidence of capital and of labor and
he deserves them both. His sympathies
are worldwide and impartial as be-

HoT-HEADED STRIKE

TIME Nevada. railroad strike, center
ing at Tonopah, is happily ended.
Il Trains are running with the same
crews as before the trouble, and both
sides are satisfied. This proves what
virtue lies in mediation when opposing
sides mean to do the right thing.
A bone of contention in this case was
Conductor Cowan, who had been dis
charged for insubordination and whom
the company would not and did not
take back. Sympathy for him caused
the continuance of the strike. The fact
that Uncle Sam's mails must move de-
cided the men to take counsel of discre-
ton, and the strike was ended.
Now that trains are running and men
are earning wages 1t would be well if
the "hot heads" who compelled the
strike would pass in review the results.
Let them honestly sum up a balance
sheet and ask themselves if the game
was really worth the candle after all.
Nevada is peopled with men of the lew
el-headed variety who, while they will
stand for square deal, will insist on
both sides having fair play. 1t is
plainly to be seen the railroad men did
not have public opinion on their side
In this case,
Threats and blu are not the weapons
with which to attack the common sense
of the public, and when organized labor
learns and acts on this truth much
trouble and loss will be spared its mem-

SNUFF IN "0NION' SCENE

Moving Pictures at MlddIetown, N. "
Theater Subject for Quip That
Almost stampedes the
Audience

MIDDLETowN, N. Y, Oct. S.-some
joker last night at the Stratton theater
came near breaking up the show. There
were exhibitions of moving pictures at
the theater yesterday. One of the pic
lures shown was that of man eating
raw onion, while number of persons
stood around him, holding their noses
and wiping tears from their eyes. The
joker saw the picture In the afternoon
and decided to make 1t real. When the
picture was shown at the evening per-
formance there came a sneeze, then a
voIley of sneezes, and in moment the
whole theater was in an uproar. People
were sneezing, and coughing, and wiping
their eyes, and number of them had to
leave the theater. The joker had scat
tered quantity of snuff from one of the
balconies. and the electric fans did the
rest.

When the question of increasing the

JAILER's ARROGANCE

YVHERE seems to be something radi-
cally wrong in the system Of dis
Il cipline and management of the
city Jail. Unfortunately this statement
doubtless will occasion little surprise.
The Jail has been notoriously misman-
aged for some time past. Politics and
pull have prevailed over justice; have
prevailed even over order of court,
A particularly fragrant case at point
is that of E. H. Phelan, convicted OF
wife beating and sentenced to 1870 days
in the city jail. His punishment was
just; more lenient than otherwise, but
the maximum permitted by law for the
offense of which he was accused.
Ordinarily straight" sentence, as
it is known in the police jargon, means
service upon the chain gang. But
Phelan, a barber seems to have in
fiuential friends. At any rate he has
been exempt from toll that might
harden his hands and otherwise inter-
fere with his subsequent labors upon
the tender faces of his customers.
Police Captains Auble and Broadhead
are said to have demanded that the
man be put to work, but Jailer McCau-
ley has refused. He has made of
Phelan trusty; he has permitted him,
not once, but on several occasions, to
leave the Jail and attend to his private
business outside. Phelan has had a
snap.
One is tempted to ask:
| On what meat has this. our jailer, fed
That he has waxed SO great?

SOLDIERS DIFFICULTY

n RIG. GEN. THOMAS H. BARRY,
X commanding the army of occu-
- patton in Cuba. in his annual re-
port OF service among other things
says: "On a reent inspection of our
military prison at Fort Leavenworth
one of the officers on duty there asked
me to especially note the appearance
Of the prisoners as / went through, re-
marking:
There are practically no criminals
among them. they are mostly young
men, of from fair to good character and
intelligence, who have gone wrong be-
cause of lack of proper management, in
struction and attention at the beginning
of their careers as soldiers, due to the
constant changes in the commanders of
companies and the further fact that
many companies are under command of
young and inexperienced officers"
This sad picture results from the con-
stant changing OF officers of staff, or
other detached duty. and leaving the
men to the mercy of young graduates
of West Point who can know nothing
of the dispositions or tendencies of the
men. and who are almost certain to err
on the side of undue severity.
Increased pay would be good for the
men, but increased care for them would
be better. Thirteen dollars month
and the penitentiary are not powerful
persuasives to good men to enter the
army.

BLOW TO PIcKETING

4 DECISION was rendered by the
u United States court of appeals in
- San Francisco Monday that sea-
men be perpetually enjoined from pick
citing the bay and wharves of that city
to keep non-union men from shipping
for coastwise or deep water service.
This Is the outcome of long, and often
bloody, war on the water front. 1t will
prove the death knell of business for
boarding house masters, runners and
land pirates generally, who fatten on
robbing seamen and who control the
supply Of hands through holding the
men for debts till they can be unloaded
on some ship master for blood money,
in addition to regular advance wages.
This decision will materially affect
the coastwise trade, branch of ship
ping that Is distinct in its laws and
methods, and which is controlled by a
powerful union headed by Andrew
Furuseth and backed by a regular
weekly publication.
BY using pickets afloat and ashore
timidating seamen, and frequently lun-
Der vessels have been weeks without
crews by reason of their acts. The
Seamen's union sets a scale of wages
for all who go to sea, and owners must
pay it or go without crews.
Under the Schmitz-Dinan regime this
decision would be dead letter, but
Chief Biggy will enfore it, and the lum-
ber trade, so important just now, will
be free from exasperating delays in con-
sequence.

THE AUTO SPEAKS

I am a battered auto car,
1 My bonnet has dent.
My frame, fear, is badly sprung.
My gasoline is spent.
My tires are full of punctures, too.
My tonneau's mud besplashed,
Ny tops awry. and both my lamps
To smithereens are smashed.
Unto the garage came a man
Who babbled long and much
OF carburetter, sparkling plug,
Transmission gear, and clutch.
My owner let him take me out,
He gave the wheel yank
And forth we shot into the street,
And grazed q gravel bank.
We struck the curb, carromed bit,
Collided with bike,
Were chased by half dozen oops =
For burning up the pike
But got away, and hit cart,
And ran a woman down,
Before with wild, derisive toots
We cannened out of town.
He gathered friends along the way,
That demon at my wheel'
They stopped at every public house
To break 9 yellow seal;
Then like a. meteor on / sped.
He couldn't keep me straight.
And, wabbling wildly to and fro,
We blindly tempted fate.
/ slxidded on muddy place.
And crashing through fence,
I sent them flying into space,
With energy immense.
Then people came from far and near,
To view my twisted frame.
And say, with cruel emphasis,
1.-The auto was to blame"
We've got to suffer for the sins
OF all the tinsel sports
And speedomaniacs that fill
The hospitals and courts,
So when you see heap Of Junk
That smells of gasoline.
Don't fix the blame until you find
Who drove the wrecked machine.

CITRUS CROP IN DANGER

N CONSIDERABLE interest is taken
In Los Angeles and Southern Cal
ifornia citrus fruit centers in the
action taken by Attorney General jack
son of New York, who has applied to
the state supreme court for permission
to start suit against the telegraph
trust, The attorney general wants to
institute proceedings in the name OF
the people against the Western Onion
and Postal Telegraph companies to va
cate their charters because they have
entered into an agreement to fix rates
on messages. fit shall be shown that
this oppressive trust has violated the
law in New York then 1t viii become
clear that 1t has broken the Cartwright
law In California.
The telegraph trust. with its exorbi-
tant tolls, has long been a heavy burden
on the people Of this section, and par
ticulariy on the citrus growers and
handlers.
Citrus men are, however, more anx-
ious that the telegraph companies re-
enter the field and resume operation,
even at the ruinous tolls charged before
the strike, than they are to see them
put entirely out of business.
The value of the orange and lemon
crop for this year is estimated by a
good authority at $21,275,O00. If the
strike continues a month longer and,
as now looks probable, the railway men
are involved, an enormous loss will fall
on Southern California. A prominent
Riverside packer said yesterday that
half the revenue from the crop would
be wiped out If the strike was not
settled by the middle OF next month
Settle the strike by mediation. with
out boycott or blacklist, and do 1t now!
