Governor Gillette, of California, has
 put the fear of the Lord into the hearts of the street car strikers and
 their sympathizers in San Francisco
 He has told the strikers that any
 further violence on their part viii
 bring the soldiers to that city. This declaration from the chief executive has had most salutary effect and the result will be that the street cars will soon be in operation and that without the help of the union men who left their positions on the cars. The cause for the action of the governor was the attempt of the strikers to prevent the street car companies from operating their cars with men whe were willing to take the place of the strikers. It was the attempt to enforce the closed shop in San Francisco and to prevent anyone not a member of the carmen's union from running cars in the city. The laws of this country will not per init of any class of men interfering with any other class of men in the performance of honest labor when and where they choose. Any attempt at such interference is a violation of the sacred rights of citizenship guaranteed to every man under t.ie constitution.

Senator .Foraker was the friend of Arizona when our people were threat ened with being deprived of the right of self-government in Arizona The people of Arizona should not fail in their allegiance to this loyal friend. He should be given the Arizona delega- tion to the republican national con yentien next year even if it costs every federal official n the territory his job.

The Albuquerque Journal thinks that the republican machine in New Mexico Is getting ready 10 knife the Roosevelt administration and put the knife clear to the hilt at the proper time and on receiving the signal from Senator Peurose and the Pennsylvania republican machine. The attitude of the republican machine in New Mexi- co towards the Roosevelt administra- ton will most likely depend largely on the attitude of Governor Curry, of that territory, towards the machine in forming his new administration. Op- portunity for graft is what will keep the New Mexico machine in perfect order and working for the Roosevelt or any other old administration.

The numerous strikes that have oeen entered upon since the first of May, and the resulting acts of violence that have occurred, make unusually significant the following remarks by Ireland:
 That all is perfect in present con ditions we must not assert; but this we must assert, that nothing should be done subversiye of public order, destructive of the spirit of sthe coun- try and of its institutions. The wild the .would-be assassin, are public enemies of society. whom to tolerate Is to tolerate open sedition.
 An enemy of public order is the SorkIngman. who, refusing his own labor. deters by violence a brother workman from offering hir labor. So. -oo, are the strong and po5werful Ssss override the law of the land In car -yiDg out the scheme of their ambition.
 Private property and the night of every man to own and dispose Of the fruits of brain and hand must be re- sarded as sacred and inviolsbie. It is the corner stone Of the social struc- ture.

Miners from various sections of the country continue to arrive at Bisbee.
 The strike in that camp is attracting less attention each day The fact is that Bisbee has always been a popu- lar camp with men who work under ground because the camp has an pn- broken history for square dealing with the men. Such place where tbe h:sh- est wages are paid for the shortest hours of work will not long be short of miners.

nEEEcrIyE EouIPMENr.

The horrible wreck in California East Saturday, in which so many prominent men and women -vAe killed, brought to the scene large number of the leading citizens of Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and other places, brother Masons. standing hlgh in the business world. On them CT rstnd of mercy and love they ob- served certain things that astonished shem. and also ElleA them with indig- ,na.Ion; Iss rposz comes from these citizens. almost to a man, that the track of the Southern Pacific consists of light weight, rusty rails, loose fish plates and rotten ties. These aIe ne exact words used by conservative business men of the highest standing.
 One of these gentlemen exclaimed, sfter seeing the evidences O. crininal neglect: ~What can we expect when the Southern Pacific owns the iegis- katere?"
 It is well that those prominent and influential citizens are putting that question to themsesves It is due largely to their own easy-going care tessness, and perhaps blind partisan ship. that the legislature has been 9nder corrupt influences. The shock of this distressing calamity should wake them up. Combined, their pow CT in politics is almost unlimited, yet they have been negiecting it, and leaving the election of legislatures 90 men of the Ruef stripe.
 The death of 32 of the best kind of citizens the country has is altogether too high a price to pay for the awakening. but it is done, and can npt be recalled It is up to the men of California. and those elsewhere along the Southern Pacific lines, to soc that the sacrifice has not been m vain. One does not have to go to California to see evidences of sretched and dangerous roadbed. 1 Sanding on the depot platform at Beason. watching heavy train go by. one can plainly see the track un- d1iate like waves.
 The road deserves no mercy in the 1 matter of public criticism, for it has deliberately brought on these condi- l tsons in order to swell it's surplus i and satisfy it's eastern stockholders. l 1T has money enough to make it's equipment safer. and E earning i enough to keep it safe. In the Bos- 1no News Letter of May 10 it is f stated with great deal of satfsfae- | ssoa that the sSouthern Pacific has to-day free assets valued at $40 oye6s.- eoe-s Also. ~On conservative esti- mate the Southern Pacific will earn | 1AIs year q surplus applicable to com mon dividends of 22.sss. 900.

Warnings Against Statistics.

A reporter is said to have once
asked John Jacob Aston if it were true
that he had .. automobiles, 5 chauf.
80 horses and 4S Carriages.
Mr.. Astor interrupted:
Statistics are always dry, stupid
and even irritating. Let me tell you
a story of a temperance exhorter who,
while in the suburbs, found q mar ly.
ing full length on the path, with
flushed face and tousled hair. He
touched him with the foot to rouse him
and said in a voice full OF gentle re.

pause to consider that II you had
placed the price of one glass OF whisky
out at compound enterest at the time

Another Standard Oil Suit.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Before the
smoke of the recent legal battle be-
fore Judge Lands in Chicago has
cleared away the government has
again taken up its warfare on the
Standard Oil company. After the
preliminary arrangements were com.
pleted court adjourned until Thurs.
day, when the hearing will be taken
up.
II is stated by the government Off.
cials that this is one of the most i'm
portant corporation cases ever
brought. The specific charge is that
the Standard of New Jersey and its
subsidiary companies entered into a
conspiracy to monopolize and restrain
commerce in petroleum and its pro-
ducts. The government asks that the
charter of the company be forfeited.
Prominent officials and representa-
tives of the Standard Oil company
are included in the list Of witnesses
and it is expected that before the
present hearing is concluded John D
Rockefeller, William Rockefeller, H,
H. Rogers and such other Stand arc
Oil magnates as live in this jurisdic
ton will be called 20 the stand.
The suit was called in St. Loui,
early in the year by order Of Attorne!
General Bonaparte. 1t will be tried
before the judges of the circuit cour
of appeals sitting as a circuit court
The defense has questioned the juris
diction of the court and has demurret
to the bill, but was overruled in eacl
instance.

DIG UP LAND FRAUDS.
Government Officials Secure Evi.
dence Against Coal Land
Grabbers.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Criminal
and civil suits on q more gigantic
scale than ever before undertaken in
land fraud cases are promised by the
government to be begun in the courts
of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming
within the next few months against
several big corporations which are
alleged to have gobbled up nearly the
entire coal supply OF those three
states. Following the California and
Oregon prosecutions. in which the
government was successful, the entire
force of the government was turned on
these states, with the result that when
1t shows its hand q startling line of
evidence will be displayed.
The investigation has already dem
onstrated that an enormous acreage
OF public land has passed unlawfully
into the hands of individuals and cor.
porations aud that the coal supply of
these states is now owned almost com.
pletely by three or four big corpora.
tions. The administra alton proposes
trying to obtain Jail sentences against
those responsible for the frauds and
by civil suits will endeavor to regain
possession of the lands illegally TAX
en-.
At the recent sitting of the federal
grand jury in Denver indictments
were returned against S. persons for
land frauds. Many of the indicted
men have been prominent in the bust.
ness affairs of the state. Among those
persons caught in the net we're sew
eral Missouri and Michigan men, who,
having been led to believe that the
government was "easy," undertook
to get possession of public land with
out going through the usual lawful
fcrmalities.

FAvORS LEASING SYSTEM.
Secretary Garfield Will Recommend
Change In Land Laws.

CHICAGO, Sept. "a special from
Washington to the Tribune says:
More effective cooperation between
the administration and the people in
public lands states has been reached
as the result OF the 1000 mile trip
which Secretary Garfield finished when
he resumed business in his Office here
this morning. Mr.. Garfield was es.
pecially enthusiastic over the condi-
ton OF the irrigation works.
when the projects under way are
completed" he said, one and one
half million acres Of land will be
added to the farm area Of the country.
This will be done without cost to the
government, for every dollar put into
these Improvements must be paid back
into the treasury"
It Is the intention of Secretary Gar.
field to repeat the recommendation to
congress that the leasing system be
adopted both for coal and grazing
lands. It is pointed out this system is
pursued by several states, notably
Wyoming, Utah and Colorado, with
respect to state public lands, and be
saw no reason for the opposition OF
coal, cattle and sheep men to it's adop-
ton by the federal government.
Through leasing" he said, sit
would be possible to regulate coal
mining for example-that is, to re-
quire the removal of all coal. 1t is
proposed also to aim at the proven
ton of monopolies through the pro.
hibition of private interests from con.
trolling large areas of land. 1 be.
lieve there should be an increase in
acreage. The law now permits an in
dividual to take up 160 acres and q
corporation 320 acres. This 10 not
sufficient in view of the amount o.
work and expense involved
"The state Of Wyoming leases it,
grazing lands and cattlemen approve
of it. They do not, however, approve
of such action by the general govern
ment. l cannot follow such reasoning.
OF course, this is true. The form Of
the lease must be in accordance with
special needs of the locality. For in
stance, in some places the lease shoulo
be based upon the number of head o
cattle or sheep to each acre. In others
the lease should specify the area o,
the land granted. But ii you do no
lease, the big fellow inevitably will
drive the little fellow out of bust
uess.'

Would Collect Back Taxes.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-The collection
of over %, 1000, 900 alleged back taxes
against the estate of the late Marshall
Field is urged upon the board of re.

tons complaint some time during the

Marshall Field, the association in
sists, never paid more than ten per
cent. of his fair share of taxes on his
personal property. He was, it ia fur.
ther charged, permitted to evade the
payment of over 81, OO0, 900 taxes dur.

with the bureau of plant industry, has
begun a series of experiments to find
out how the carrying power of grazing
land within national forests a be
increased. In a nutshell, the problems
are, first, how to grow, and second,
how to utilize, the larges. amount of
forage. The conclusions reached are
likely to have an important bearing
on improved use of the open range
generally. The economic possibilities
Of the experiments are enormous.
In the past the stockman on the
public lands has simply taken what
nature offered him. But grazing tends
to put nature at q disadvantage.
Plants which propagat ate by seed, for
example, have no chance when the
seed stalks are being eaten of all the
time. In many grazing regions the
carrying power Of the range has been
very greatly reduced through the
present methods of use. Within ma
tional forests the restriction of the
number of stock to the capacity OF the
range has already checked the worst
evils which result from over grazing.
But the new Investigations promise
much greater things.
These investig ations are to be car
ried out along three distinct lines
studies of what can be done in the
way Of introducing guilty ated grasses,
studies Of range improvement through
better knowledge Of how wild grasses
propagate, and studies OF how to han.
die both cattle and sheep 80 as to re.
duce the waste due to herding and
trampling. The present account deals
with the first, the Introduction of cul-
tivated grass.
The man in charge of these studies
is F. V. Coville of the bureau of plant
industry, who is an expert in matters
connected with the use of the range.
Mr.. Coville made q careful study Of
grazing problems in the Cascade
mountains OF Oregon for the interior
department ten years ago, and con-
tributed to the discussion of grazing
questions which formed part of the
public lands commission report made
in 1905.

Coal Prices Advanced.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3.-Retail
prices for coal of all kinds we're raised
% cents a ton by Philadelphia dealers
today. Domestic sizes of anthracite
will hereafter cost 81 q ton. pea coal,
S4.75 and smaller steam sizes 1925 to
: $50. Twenty-Five cents is also added
to the prices of bituminous coal, which
has been selling at al average of 49,.
SO q short ton. The increase resulted
from the investig ations OF q committee
Of the local coal exchange, which re-
commended the raise because wages,
salaries aud other items of expense in
the conduct Of the retail business have
also risen.
