RETURNING CONFIDENCE.
San Franelseo chronlele.


That the business men OF San Fran
cisco have been downhearted and dis
couraged for the last few months has
been evident enough. 1t could not
have been otherwise. with a convict
in jail for Mayor, sixteen out of eigh-
teen Supervisors confessed criminals,
the Chief Of Police indicted for felony
and the departments full OF low poll
ticians who are presumed to be thieves,
1t was evidently not possible for the
city to grow. With strikes in various
occupations. which seriously impair
the purchasing power of a large part
of our population, retail trade could
not flourish. In the uncertainty CT
labor conditions there was an unwill-
ingness to start new business OF any
kind. Everybody has been marking
time. The State is prosperous. Trade
with the interior is good, but in all
the activities directly pertaining to this
city and dependent upon continuance
of the steady growth which 1t has en-
joyed during the past few years there
has been absolute stagnation. All
this was changed within twenty-four
hours by the election of Mayor Taylor
and the immediate prospect of an hon.

THE COLUMBIA DISASTER.

As brilliant silver lining fringing
black cloud. the bravery Of American
seamen In the face OF death, relieves
the story OF the Columbia disaster OF
Some of It's overwhelming gruesomeness.
All reports agree that the Captain OF
the doomed vessel took his stand on tine
bridge. as soon as the ship was struck
and that he directed the efforts 70
awe the passengers with calm delibef-
alton. until his voice was heard no
more. His last words were, GOD pleAs
Won ALL" Then he took firmly hoid o.
Tho railing OF the bridge and went
down with his ship. This is an instance
of heroism that deserves place IN the
annals Of disasters. That many Oh
,be survivors owe their lives 10 the
se,f-sacrifice of this sailor,an the men

net. without n calm. determined COM
mander the precious moments wouid

CAPTAIN could. perhaps. have saVeu
himself. but he preferred to die trying
to save others
Another brilliant espode III the sto's
of the disaster is that in when q Dali
Lake girl, Miss Blanche Musser' was
the heroine. on raft, IN company
with other victims. tossed about oy tiie
angry waves. she lifted up her sweet
voice In song, thereby inspiring cour-
age and faith. II is beautiful episoue,
indeed OF heart-rending tragedy.
The worst feature of this disaster is
that II must be ascribed to the reckless
ness, or neglect, of somebody. fog was
hanging over the water, and the watch
of the Columbia did not see the APP

Iision was unavoidable. But If the

ms VIEWS on CRIME.

Clarence $. Datrow has made an un-
usual oratorical display in his defense
of his client. Whether the effect upon
the jury will be what he intended II
to be, Is doubtful. But be that as It
may, the men OF the jury viii consider
the case impartially and decide ae-
cording to evidence.
But Mr.. Darrow Is an original Some
years ago he was invited to talk to
the prisoners in the Chicago county Jail.
And In his address he told the inmates
of the institution that they were neither
more nor less criminal and immoral
than the Society that prosecutes them
and builds jails for their occupancy.
When Mr.. barrow was severely criti-
cized for placing such revolutionary
theories, whether true or false. before
the inmates in jail, he had an edition
de luxe of his address prepared and
with delightful and characteristic irony
declared his purpose in doing so was 10
place the truth before those whose in
telllgence and affluence Will prevent
their being Influenced by IT,
Here are a few of the pearls Of wis
dom Mr.. Darrow offered his audience:
Some so-called crimnals--and will
use this word because II Is handy, IL
means nothing to mel speak of the
criminals who get caught as distin
guished from the criminals who catch
them-some OF these so-called crimin-
ais are in Jail for the first offenses, but
nine-tenths o. you are In jail because
you did not have a good lawyer and
- Nrnta ftn ~ 70
lawyer because YOU did not have
enough money to pay good lawyer"
Speaking of burglars, he said:
IF a man had clothes in his clothes
press and beefsteak In his pantry. and
money in a bank he wouid not navl-
gate around nights In houses where he
knows nothing about the premises
whatever. II always requires expert
ence and education for this profession.
and people who 1T themselves for IL
are no more to blame than l am for
being a lawyer
one more:
kidnapping children is not n crime;
It Is a profession. II has been doyel-
oped with our modern Industrial COM
ditions. There are many ways OF maxi
ing money-~many new ways that our
ancestors knew nothing about. Our am
cestors knew nothing about billion
dollar trust: and here comes some poor
fellow who has no other trade and he
discovers the profession OF kidnap-
ping children"
From a lawyer with such views on
crime aud law and society. n har-
rangue like the one he made at Boise
was TO be expected. But what are we
coming to, when the doctors OF law
preach against the law? skepticism in
the legal profession Is no less pernlcious
than iandelity In the pulpit.

One of the arguments used i'll maxi
ing the duties Of the commissioners
dcvolve upon city council is that the
council has to levy the tax and raise
the money, and the commissioners, if
they run short, have to call upon
council for money when it is needed,
and that those, who are responsible to
the people for the expenditure of the
money, should have some say-so in
the matter Of its expenditure.
1t is Il matter, however, for the
people to determine and before the
election we desire at least one full

1t is matter for the people to de-
termine for themselves whether or
not they will leave the management
of III. nl,m IN the hands of the sup-
crintendent and the commissioners,
or whether they will dcvolve the du-
ties upon city council.
It would seem from the figures
furnished bv the superintenIcnt that
the total income from private sour
ces for the use If water and lights
amounts to %l23l741: the cost of the
fuel, salaries. stationery and teams
amounts to $l4,255.5G. This does not
cover tbe operating expenses but lea
YES a deficit of 81 .93S.1 Is, from which.
however. should be taken $2l9.43.
which was received from the sale of
coal, leaving net deficit of $1.61S..
r., which subtractcd from the amount
paid by the town. $5294.53. leaves a
net profit Of $4,675.S5.
1t is taken for granted, Of course,
that the commissioners make a pro
fit on the labor and material, which
they use in wiring and tapping mains
for private parties, and in the salary
account, of course, is included the
cost of the labor for this work.
AS well as we can understand the
figures in this report. it will appear
that the commissioners are losing
money in wiring houses and tapping
mains and furnishing electrical sup
plies. But the figures are given and
each individu, can make his own
calculation.
