A BRAHAM HUMMEL, for many

deathbed. Hummel was sent to the
BIackwelrs island penitentiary for SUBJ
ornation of perjury, or some other Of

years he had defended criminals, high
and low. To secure their freedom he
hesitated at no step. Many of his fell

other lawyer was so thoroughly versed
in the intricacies of the criminal
statutes that no other lawyer of any
day in America had been so successful
in his attempts to subvert justice.
Many of the most notorious crooks
known to the metropolitan police owe
their freedom today to the shrewd tac-
ties of this conscienceless attorney.

Tariff Duty ON Coal
A Heavy Oppression

report from Seattle says: I'm order
that a coal famine may be averted this
winter the business men and merchants
of Seattle are being urged to get together
and devise means of importing coal from
Australia At present the coal supply is
nearly exhausted. and when winter comes
the bunkers will be empty. The coal
dealers say there is no relief in sight. no
prospective decrease in the price of fuel
or Increase in the supply. Unless the
business men and merchants take some
Immediate action toward getting coal there
will be much suffering this winter. Lum-
bermen have given their approval of the
plan of bringing coal here from Australia,
and say the vessels could be kept in the
trade by sending them back loaded with
lumber for the Antipodes. They say that
il is hard to get vessels to take lumber
to Australia I'm the winter at reasonable
rates, and if the coal is to be Imported
the problem will be solved. Shipping men
Of Seattle have also voiced their approval.
The plan is to buy the coal in Australia
and bring 1t to Seattle. where it will be
sold In public market The price would
be a little higher than that which is OBJ
tained from the rinines of this state, but
that seems the only solution of the threat
ened coal famine"
In the meantime pending an effective
prosecution the removal of the "protec-
tive" tariff on coal--a tariff that 'prc
tects" the coal combine in looting the
people-ought to be demanded. No one
can contend that this tariff protects
American labor or an American industry
unless it be exploitation. The govern
ment with a treasury overflowing does
not need this tax as a revenue measure
The late Robert c. lngersoll was a
pretty good Republican and he said: II
believe in protecting the infant industry
but when the infant becomes so lusty and
overgrown that it gets out of the cradle
and clubs the nurse-then / think it is
about time to withdraw the protection
The coal combine is clubbing the people.
1t is about time to withdraw the ''protec-
ton" of tariff on foreign coal.-Oakland
Ennnirer
Los Angeles herald., 1907-12-18

TT is a most perncious perversion of
the principle of protection when 1t is
u used to foster trusts and tax the peo
pie without any corresponding benefit
and this is precisely what the tariff on
coal does Coal is one of the bountes of
nature as much as air or water and Is as
essential to the life of the people and to
every Industrial process. That the coal of
this country has become the sole possess
sion of few fuel barons who constitute
one of the most oppressive and infamous
monopoles on earth there can be no de-
rial. Just why this band of commercial
free hooters should be given the benefit
of protection of q cents per ton on for
eign bituminous coal is not clear to the
great American public which is being
plucked by the coal combine
IL appears from the latest available
statistics that despite this tariff rate there
were imported into this country chiefly
from British Columbia in 1905 1.522, ,152 tons
Of coal. The tariff paid on this coal by
the consumers was $l,0l9,SA.s4. This sum
was taken out of the pockets of the con-
sumers and paid the coal trust because
ii was added to the price of the coal
which was handled by the combine. Not
only that, but to the extent which this
tariff of 81 cents per ton operated to keep
foreign coal out the coal trust was able
10 increase tne price OF uulnestlc olluIHln-
Gus coal 20 the consumer. Every com
mercial body in this country and every
consumer of coal ought to protest against
this tax on the people and the industries
of the United States.
This tax is particularly heavy on the
people of the Pacific coast, who, more
than any others, are affected by this dis
in favor of the local coal
combine, which operates against foreign
coal from British Columbia or Australia
being brought to this port to relieve the
situation. The condition has become so
desperate at Seattle, almost within sight
of extensive coal fields. that the people
propose to combine and import Australian
coal. which. despite the tariff it is be-
lieved can be brought in and sold under
the nrices of the trust

SWALLOWING THE HOOK

LIVERY attache of the Folsom prison
NJ who is suspected of having parties
= ipated in the preliminaries to the
nomination of Theodore A. Bell for gov1
ernor of California is to be sundered
from his job. The work which was
begun with the scalping of Warden
Yell will not be discontinued, according
to the program of Boss Herrin and his
chief executive, until every mothers
son of an anti-Southern Pacific man
has been compelled to walk the plank.
When Warden Yell was summarily
dismissed from the management of the
prison the decent newspapers of the
state, without exception, protested. 1t
is notorious that the only ground for his
removal was to be found in the fact
that he would not condescend to make
his office medium through which GER
tain political favorites of Herrin might
be rewarded for their loyalty to their
boss. With Yell ousted from authority
and pliable man in his place, there is
no doubt whatever about the outcome.
The state prison is to become political
clearing house, just as practically every
other state institution and commission
is and for years has been.
Apparently nothing can be done to
prevent the consummation of the plans
of the voracous Herrin organization.
With all the machinery of state gov
ernment, from the governor down. in
its hands, the outcome of all this
clamor for the restoration of the office
to Mr. Yell and the abandonment of
the project to make the prison the
of a gang of spoilsmen will
be nothing, during the existing regime.
But it may be as we'll that nothing can
be done; for every wanton affront like
this will but serve to aggravate the
people and increase the volume of their
righteous Indignation. Then-and pos
sibly not till then-will they realize
that the only possible way in which the
body polite can be rid forever of the
fostering. loathsome, parasitical growth
of Herrinism is to cut deeply, once for
all, and remove not only the heart OF
the growth but every contaminated
artery leading therefrom.

From the gray skyless city at the dawn
Down shining tracks, in rush Of grass-sweet
gales
We wheeled into the glory of a morn
steep with the slaat of skies, and down the

wild berries stained the brambles where they
crept
The sun was lonely on the rolling land;
Great meadows and primordial forests swept
Their grandeur In the silence of Gods hand
And with us was a child whose eyes had never
Pierced beyond streets and shops and human
faces
Lo, when we paused where black brook for

Breaks rock to rock In the dim forest places

Producing More Wealth
Than Ever Before

gregate goes beyond anything ever known
in the history of any other country.
A people thus situated are far removed
from justinable panic. Something in the
machinery that governs the exchange of
commodities may be out of adjustment,
but the trouble can be sought and cor
rected without undue excitement. 1t is
madness in a people transacting a busi-
ness of such magnitude to rush at the
banks and demand payment in full under
any circumstances. The banks share in
the prosperity of the period. They make
their profit by lending money, and divide
their gains with the people by paying in
terest on deposits. Bank runs and hoard
ing are weapons by which depositors be-
labor themselves. Why any panic IN,
1907? Something of the kind may have
been due among stock gamblers, but the
masses have had no reasonable occasion
for it. They are producing more wealth
than ever before.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
rrat

Il mines has reached a total in value
never attained before. According to the
careful calculation of the agricultural de-
partment the farms this year have yielded

mates the total production of the country

LUTHER BURBANK DIDN'T
PROPAGATE THE PEAZLE TREE

The Rev. Jasper Napoleon Pinckney of
Punxsutawney parish used to boast that
he could expound at sight any text in the
Bible Deacon Epaminondas Johnson,
who hated him, often tried to trip him,
but without ever feazing him for mo-
ment. A few Sundays ago he arose in
meetin', displayed malicious grin, and
said:
"Brer Pinckney, will yo' be so kin an
condescen'in', please, sub, as tub eXpoun'
untuh us de items an de stateestics OBJ de
items tub be foun' In de Fifty-seventh
Psalm, las part O. de eighth verse?''
Br'er Pinckney glanced at the text with
out apprehension, for he had never read 1t
before. Silently he conned these words:
Awake, psaltery and harp l myself will
awake early" For a moment he seemed
puzzled. Then he pompously read the
text aloud as follows: Awake, peazle-
tree an harp: 1 myself will awake right
early"
Having paused long enough to let the
words sink into the minds of his congre-
cation, Br'er Pinckney repeated them and
added this explanations:
