COMMENDABLE "HOUNDING'

An incident of a trial in a local court
last Thursday is worth noticing. The
case was that of the owner and driver
of a team of horses which were old,
half starved and totally unfit for work.
The owner of the team, as alleged, is
an old offender in the practice for
which he was arrested by an officer
of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. He and his driver
were each fined $25 for the last offense.
The point to which attention is
called now is the plea of that team
owner He claimed that the society
has been "hounding him." and he is re-
ported as having "hung around the
court corridors after the decision,
making threats that he would get the
officer who caused his arrest" The
officer says of the case: "That man
has caused us no end of trouble; he
will not feed mis- animals properly and
he refuses to obey the law"
Would that Los Angeles had more
public servants amenable to the charge
of "hounding" lawbreakersI The kind
of officers who do their duty fearlessly
in spite of threats physical or political
are the kind that citizens of Los Ange-
les admire and the kind that can al
ways depend upon the support of the
community.
The loca, Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, under it's man
agement during the last few years, has
effected a revolution in the treatment
of horses in Los Angeles city and
county. Every observant citizen has
noticed the change, and it is one of the
most frequent subjects of remark.
Only four or five years ago, as is
well remembered shocking examples
of brutality to horses were of every
day occurrence, and the percentage of
unfit horses in service was so large
that it attracted the especial attention
of visitors and caused the most caustic
criticism.
The gratifying change now obser-
vable is due to the efficiency of the
present management of the S. p. C. A.
due to just such "hounding' as
brutal owners and drivers complain Of.

"UNDrsIRABLn CITIZENS"

BY a phrase Of only two words Presi-
dent Roosevelt ha stirred up a COM
motion that shows itself in many
states. In letter relating to the three
men charged with completely in the
murder Of former Governor steunen-
berg OF Idaho the president character
lied the accused as undesirable clti-
zens" That is the phrase that ex-
cited the oommotion in labor union
circles.
Because Of this Characterization of
the three men In question--Moyer, Hay
wood and Pettlbone-the president Is
assailed bitterly all along the labor
union line. The gist of the accusation
is the assumption that as the three
men are awaiting trial for their alleged
crime, the presidential branding of
them as undesirable citizens" Is cal
culated to exert an influence upon the
jury unfavorable to the accused.
To the unbiased reader OF the con-
troversy between the president and his
censors, as 1t has appeared t.. print,
there seems to be a -'olume Of smoke
in this matter entirely out of proper
ton to the spark of fire.
The only reasonable cause for criti-
cism of the phrase which is held to be
offensive is the matter of expression,
not of the sentiment. If President
Roosevelt were more diplomatic and
less forceful in his utterances he might
have tempered his phrasing in conso-
nance with the idea that Language is
given to man to enable him to conceal
his thoughts"
But, taking the presidents phrase as
1t stands. and Judging it by the exact
signiflcation, this conclusion is mani
fest: If the three men referred to are
wrongly adiudged as undesirable citi-
zens," the cUrollary follows that they
are desirable citizens.
1t is The Herald's invarlable rule to
avoid any comment of a pending judi
cial matter that might even remotely
tend to prejudgment of the issue. 1t is
an accepted sa:-.ng probably as old as
American law, however, that "a man
is known by the company he keeps"
The men accused of completely in the
assassination of Idaho's former gov
ernor were leaders in the violent acts
that so long disturbed and partly para
lyzed the mining interests of Idaho and
Colorado If such men are desirable
citizens, Good Lord, deliver u.s.
Meyer, Haywood aid Pettibone are
entitled to square zeal, and there is
no reason for belief that they will not
get it. The Herald earnestly hopes
that an acquittal awaits them and that
the stain of a dastardly assassination
may not be found upon their hands.
But if they be adjudged guilty the full
measure of retribution should be meted
out, in spite of ell such efforts at in
timidation as are disclosed in the con-
troversy.

WINNING A RAISE

Warden b. F. Bridges of the state
prison had as guests the other day an
English gentleman of title and his Irish
valet who are touring in this country.
They were taken through every de-
partment OF the prison and showed es-
pecial interest in the death chamber,
where murderers are put TO death in
the electric chair, While tarrying in
this room the nobleman remarked, with
a wise wink to Warden Bridges Pat,
II the chair had its dues. where would
you be?"
Without trace Of smile Pat quick
y replied: "rhe wardin and me wud
be looking at the chair alone"
Warden Bridges turned to hide a
smile, and after silence Of about a
minute the nobleman asked the privi-
lege OF lighting cigar, after which he
wheeled toward Pat ana said, your
wages are raised a pound and sixpence
a month. Boston Herald.

Manipulators Of watered stocks In
Wall street have cunningly and as
siduously circulated the story that be-
cause of something or other not named
there is every probability that business
will slacken and that hard times may
be impending.
Without a particle Of foundation,
and with no reason whatever that may
be based upon economies or Industrial
conditions, the ridiculous story has
travelled from Maine to California and
from the northern lakes to the sunlit
waters of the southern sea-"
1t was intended as a bogie to frighten
the people into stopping legislatures
and congress in their career of en-
deavor to regulate railroads. 1t will
have no such effect. of course, but 1t
has done an infinite amount of damage
not down on the bills
Banks always remind Que of that
famous comic picture, "who Said
Rats?" Bankers in the east cannot
tell you, to save their lives, where they
heard the story, who told 1t to them,
or what it's all about, but they heard
a suspicious noise and now, with their
ears up and eyes bulging out in an
effort to identify the sound, they have
begun quietly to tie string around
their loans, look twice at every dollar
that goes out and bite every dollar that
comes in.
It's all very absurd, of course, for
the only answer they can give you is
that times are rather unsettled and
we want to go a little SLOW" Whose
times? What times? Crops were tre-
mendous last year and are coming on
more abundantly There is plenty OF
money everywhere for all purposes.
There is no wild speculation and no
booms. The common people have
more money to their credit In banks
than ever before. No wars are i'm
pending; peace prevails; trade is
healthy; business is prosperous What
then?
Nothing. Just lot of gas let loose
in Wall street to scare public senti-
ment into getting back to watered
stock. That's all.
1t is the consensus of opinion
throughout the world that conditions
were never so clearly good, or times
so healthful in their prosperity. No
reason whatever exists to anticipate
even a slackening of the great busi-
ness of the country Labor generally
is satisfied, everybody is employed and
trade movcs forward with easy progress
and fair profits.
A presidential campaign is about to
open, a campaign that will involve no
issues or principles not already known.
The policies of Roosevelt and Bryan
are perfectly familiar to the people,
and the success of one or the other
would certainly do no violence to busi-
ness interests. Questions of money,
coinage and currency are not at stake,
and no alarm is felt anywhere at the
possible or probable results of the
election. In fact there is less occasion
than ever before in many years to ap-
prehend any disturbance of present in
dustrial or mercantile interests.
Therefore, it's about time to shut off
the Wall street misererie and turn the
crank back to "Cheer UP, Mary"

Four men working on the Belmont
mine had taken out ore aggregating
81, ,663.60.
There was good crop of grass wild
overs in the county twenty years ago,
and the Observer thought it good time
for harvesting.
A young man by the name of Harry
Hutchinson, while ..hauling machinery
from the Clark Gardner to the 1. X. L.,
had fallen off his wagon and had a mar
row escape from being run over. One
of his arms was badly hurt.
The residence of Joseph Gregor in
Russell Gulch was burned early Wednes-
day morning and everything in the
house entirely consumed. Mrs. Gregor
and two small children barely escaped
with the clothes on their persons.
A sad accident had occurred at the
Clayton mine near the Masonic Gene
terry. A young man by the name OF
Harry Very had just put in charge
before quitting time Tuesday evening,
which, from some cause had failed to
go off, and the next morning when pick
ing it out an explosion occurred. One
of Werry's eyes was totally destroyed,
one hand was shattered and other in
juries were sustained. The doctors SAID
the hand would have to be amputated.
Werry's uncle, who was with him in the
shaft, and standing close to him at the
time of the explosion, was slightly in.
jured.
John Eatwell had his new residence
below the Cashier mill nearly completed
and was about to move into the same.
All the mills had fair supply of ore
on hand. The Bobtail had 100 stamps
going and it would appear from the
number of teams unloading that the
other 25 stamps would soon be in opera

1t Colorado had a railway COM
mission such as Texas has the peo-
pie would be afforded some relief
from the mistreatment now re-
ceived from the railways operating
in this state. To begin with the
commission is elected by the peo-
pie and not by corporation own
ed governor such as is the case in
this state. Ia Texas if an individ.
ual has grievance he is shown
consideration equal to that extend
ed the largest shippers. If per-
son has a complaint to make
against railway company for dis
elimination or delayed freight
shipments he files a protest with the
commits sion, and an emergency or
der is issued compelling the COM
pany to move your freight. If
trains don't run on time and the
public is Inconvenience the rail
road is fined and moreover has to
pay the fine. Should roadbed
be in bad or unsafe condition the
railway commission can order
trains to be run at slow rate of
speed over the unsafe track until
the necessary repairs are made. If
a special session Of the legislature
is called to pass law that will be
operative to govern the railway
companies OF Colorado no better
legislation could be adopted than
that now in force in Texas. 1t
might not suit the railway COM
panies but it certainly would meet
with the approval Of the people.

Workmen while repairing the wagon
road on Bates hill last week unearthed
the skeleton of man. The grewsome
find was made by John Trevithick. He
first uncovered the skull and until he
had investigated thoroughly thought
mother earth had handed him lemon.
1t is supposed that the skeleton was
that of some one who had been buried
near the Joe Hafer lode in the early
days of the camp, when that piece of
ground was used for graveyard. Sew
eral years ago at about the same point
in the road human skeleton was found
by Tim Sullivan. This was supposed to
be the framework of an Indian who had
gone to the Happy Hunting Grounds at
about the same time gold was discover
