GREAT CLOSING OUT SAL OF THE LEADER

is right in holding them to a rigid ac-
c~ountability for the way they perform
their public duties. For several
months past some, if not all, Of our
roads have been in a condition of ex-
IRENE congestion. Doubtless this is
mainly due to the fact that the u
try has outgrown its railroads, that u
prosperity has increased at such a rate
that the most sanguine and optimistic
railroads have been unable to keep
pace with its growth. But it is also
true that ordinary methods of opera
ton, which hold good in a placid time
of steady and regular movement,
should at a time of crisis yield to the
imperative necessities of public need.
Up to Operating Officials.
The experience of the past winter
proves how great is our dependence
on the railroads n how serious the
responsibility of those who undertake
to care for the public in the matter
of transportation. | believe that there
is sufficient ingenuity and executive
genius in the operating officials of the
roads greatly to diminish the troubles
complained of. The most effective way
to lessen demands for unreasonable
legislation is for the railroads acting
individually and collectively to remedy
as many as possible of the abuses and
shortcomings for which there really
are remedies, and for which remedial
laws are demanded by the shipping
public.

tent. Haywood is himself one of the
leaders of the socialist class. How can
he go out with this verdict ever present
before him and tell his associates that
the poor have no protection against the
rich and that the courts are purchased
and juries packed for the purpose of
making the lot of the poor man unbear-
able? Since it has been proven by
judge and jury that the socialist class
were mistaken in their idea that poor
man was not the equal of the rich man,
before the law, would it not be proper
for the socialists to say that they have
been mistaken on many other matters
pertaining to government and society?

The verdict in the Haywood murder
trial at Boise is now history The re-
suit of the jury's deliberation mot
guilty." or, more strictly speaking,
mot proven, was brought into court
eleven hours after the jury retired to
their room. According to information
given by the members of the jury the
life of the defendant was at no time in
danger at their hands. On first ballot
two of the jury voted for murder in the
first degree, the rest for acquittal, and
there was only slight change from that
until verdict was reached.
In the Haywood trial there are many
lessons for the true American citizen.
1t was the first great trial in the history
of the republic where classes were ar
rayed against each other. The verdict
could not help being disappointment
to many people, but the conduct of the
people in victory and defeat, under a
representative form of government, in
dicates the condition of that govern
ment. In battle there may be the ferc-
est conflict, but when the smoke has
cleared and peace has been declared the
result is accepted by all. The Boise
trial furnished us lessons in peaceful
judicial government. There may be
opposing opinions, but the verdict of
the jury governs all.
Before the trial was started, and dur
ing the trial, many said a laboring man
could not get fair trial in this country.
The jurymen were insulted and their
state was slandered by counsel for the
defense in the last arguments, but they
returned verdict on the law and evil
dence- The result being SO far from
what they expected there ought to be a
revision of ideas in that political school
Which teaches the doctrine of discon.

of the correspondence with the 'well
known mining men" this paper takes
no pride in speaking. Hours of the
committees time was devoted to them,
postage and stationery was used, the
secretary spent many weary hours over
the typewriter and the machine chewed
up ribbon after ribbon, but it was to no
avail. The ''well known" companies
remained silent in all the different Ian
guages and left the committee to sweat
it out. The committee received the
''moral support" but regrets from
number of the jobbing and wholesale
houses that profit most from the min
ing districts, and the contributions were
small. Get-together and commercial
clubs were communicated with, but, in
most cases, the effort was lost. 1t ap-
pears they don't get together any more,
or else it would take search warrant
to find out their purpose.
We are inclined to bear with the
brother of the Sites paper, believing
he doesn't know what picnic it is to
raise money by popular subscription, but
will ask that the reporter be more
choice in his selection of "well known
mining men" in getting his information
in the future. At least select man of
the common herd, in whom is enough
sympathy and human kindness to per-
nit him to give credit to others and for
what they do. The committee worked
on lines and in ways that were honor
able. No person had the facts misrep-
resented to them, and no person was in
f1uenced to contribute for the summer
outing" son might enjoy while looking
after his fathers Interests. While
the committee labored under many dis
advantages, caused principally by con-
f1icting contracts and lack of quick
means Of communication with those in
authority, still the object sought for
has been accomplished, and the com
mittee leaves to broader and more fair
citizens than the ''well known mining
man. to place the credit where credit
belongs. The labor has been great, the
harvest small and scattering, but from
an educational point of view the COM
mittee feel they have been fully COM
pensated for their time and their work.

THE NOW.

The charm of love is its telling, the tell
ing that goes with the giving;
The charm of deed is its doing the charm
of life is it's living; LII
The soul of the thing is the thought the
charm of the act is the actor;
The soul of the fact is it's truth, and the
Now is its principal factor.
The world loves the Now and the Nowist,
and tests all assumptions with rigor,
1t looks not behind it to failing, but for
ward to ardor and vigor;
1t cares not for heroes who faltered, for
martyrs who hustled and recanted,
For pictures that never were painted, for
harvests that never were planted.
The world does not care for fragrance
that never is lost in performing,
The world does not care for the bios
som that never is lost in pertaining,
The world does not care for the chimes
remaining unrung by the ringer,
The world does not care for the songs
unsung in the soul of the singer.
What use to mankind is a purpose that
+, never shone forth in doer?
What use has the world for loving that
never had winner nor wooer?
The motives, the hopes and the schemes
that have ended in idle conclusions,
Are buried along with the failures, that
come in life of illusions.
Away with the fiimsy idea that life with
past is attended;
There's Now-only Now, and no Past
there's never a, past; it has ended.
Away with it's obsolete story, and all OF
its yesterday sorrow;
There's only today, almost gone, and in
front of today stands tomorrow,
And hopes that are quenchless are sent
us like loans from generous lender,
Enriching US all in our efforts, yet max
ing no poorer the sender;
Tightening all of our labors, and thrill
ing us ever and ever
With the ecstasy of success and the
raptures of present endeavor.

DOUBLES CHAMPION WILL
PLAY IN FINALS TODAY
Wayne and VarieI Meet sinsabaugh
and Browne to Decide Honors
from Recent Champion
ship Tourney

Final play in the match for the doubles
tennis championship of Southern Cali
fornia will be run off this afternoon on
the Ocean Park clubs courts, with
Wayne and Variel on one side of the
net and Sinsabaugh and Browne on the
other.
AS matters now stand Wayne and
Variel have quite a bit the better of 1t,
and unless the other team makes a
hurry-up movement at the beginning of
the play they will find themselves on
the short end of things. Last Saturday,
when the match was started, Wayne and
his partner won the first set by a score
of 6-2, and came right back in the second
by taking the long end of an So period.
Then Sinsabaugh and Browne came to
the front and annexed six games while
their opponents were gathering four, and
the teams trotted out for what was eX-
pected to be the final period. But that
was not to be, for Bell, who was in the
lookouts perch, decided that it was dark
enough when each side had six games
to it's credit, and his word was law
Now the match will be played to the
finish, and many tennis enthusiasts are
expected to be in attendance at the
function.

GIRLS KISS SAVES JOB OF
WISCONSIN GAME WARDEN
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
KENOSHA, Wis, Aug. 9.-The kiss of
millionaire's daughter proved to be a
valuable asset to Michael Kleist. the
assistant game warden in this city, for
when he received his notice of reappoint-
ment. it was shown to him that the fact
that he had been kissed by million
aires daughter had at least something to
do with his appointment
Twenty deputies were to be dropped
and Kleist while a good officer, feared
that he would be one of the number, as
this is one of the smallest counties in the
state. In the letter from the department
the game warden said
"Good-looking men are few and far be-
tween in this department, and the man
who was good looking enough to be
kissed by the daughter of a millionaire
should be retained"
A year ago Kleist arrested E. j. Rich
ardson, a St. Louis millionaire, charged
with illegal fishing, and when he was
taken before a county justice, his daugh-
ter appeared and pleaded that he be re-
leased.
Kleist was moved by the fidelity of the
daughter, and recommended the mini
mum fine. When this was imposed the
young woman threw her arms about the
warden and kissed him full on the mouth.

searched, although protesting his inno-

her to the various departments in which

Britt's brother claims that his real

some Searchlight promoters.
1T is true says Britt, that l did not
want Cans to box Memsic. That state
ment was made publicly by me imme-
diately after Britt defeated Nelson.
gave good reasons why Cans should call
off the Los Angeles match.
THE talk about my giving to Memsic
is nonsensical. All l had to do to have
the match called off was to tell Cans
that If he fought Memsc before fighting
Britt, Britt would take on some other
man. Cans could easily see there was
more money to fight Jimmy for per-
centage of receipts and the $4,000 guaran-
tee than to take chances with Memsic for

THE statement that l offered Cans

HEALTH BOARD SECRETARY
A BONE OF CONTENTION
pleased with Councils Action in
Creating Office, May Hold
UP Salary

Because the civil service commissioners
say the position of secretary of the board
of health was created without authority
by the city council, friction will probably
follow when Secretary H. M. Love, the
emergency appointee, tries to collect his
salary.
Under the law when positions are Gre
ated which involve only change in name
but not in duties the commission has the
power to transfer the eligible or per-
manent lists of appointments to this office.
Under this ruling 1t is held that others
beside Love were eligible to appointment.
Loves friends contend on the other
hand, that his is simply an emergency ap-
pointment good for six months probation
or less. and that time will develop, which
side is correct.
At any rate there will be reductions on
pay or help in the health department to
cover the s125 salary that goes with the
secretaryship
