FRISCO STREET CAR RIOTS
One Man Killed and Four 9th
ers Fatally Injured.

San Francisco, May 9.-The strike
of the 100 union motormen and con
ductors of the United Railroads de-
veloped into a riot, in which n mar
was killed, four fatally wounded and a
number of others more or less injured.
The dead man is James Walsh, a
strike sympathizer, who was shot in
the head by a strikebreaker on one or
the cars, and reports from the hos
pitfalls indicate that four more will die.
These are Albert C. Palm, chauffeur,
residing In Oakland; John Buchanan,
a union conductor; Nathan Lesser, a
messenger, and Charles Murphy, a
union conductor. s. Kroknet, a tailor,
who was shot through the lung, is in
a bad way and may not survive. Near
ly all the others wounded proved to be
superficial and most Of them have
been removed to their homes.
A strong movement to secure peace
was begun during the day when, after
consultation among leading citizens, 1t
was resolved to call a meeting at La
Dor temple when efforts will be made
TO settle all the existing troubles.

DOUBLE MURDER CHARGED
italian Accused of Killing Wife and
Motherin.LaW,

Ill
New York, May 9.-Mrs. Maria Vito
and her mother, Mrs. Maria Brignoli
were literally sIashed to pieces with
Tazors in their East Side home early
in the day. Giovanni Vito, the hus.
band of the younger woman, is under
arrest charged with the crime. 1t is
alleged that he killed the m after
a quarrel which followed their refusal
TO give him money. Vito denies that
he is guilty, however, and stoutly
maintains that his wife and mother.
in-law were killed by two men who
broke into the house and with whom
he himself had a fierce struggle in de-
Tense OF his life. In support Of his
story he exhibited TO the police a cut
on one of his hands. which he declares
was inflicted by one of the m~urderers.
His story is substantiated by his three.
year-old son. The police give the story
little credence, however, as Vito and
the child were the only persons in
the apartment when the police, who
had been informed that murder vas
being done in the house, forced an
entrance. Vito is a barber by trade,
but is said to have lived on the earn
ings of mis- wife for several years.
Three bloody razors were found in the
apartments.

meeting of Parliament, and when in
the latter year necessity compelled
King Charles I. to convene the e'parlia-
ment, they evinced. disposition to
probe his management of affairs, which
reused his anger and caused him to is
sue an order for their dissolution But
he was reckoning without his host, for
Within year he was destined to see
the indomitable spirit of the English
people manifested thru the agency
of the celebrated Long Parliament, and
finally victory perched on the banners
of freedom when the king, IN 1649, was
ANONYMOUSLY executed for hightreason.
He was a tyrant who tried to subvert
the liberties of his people, and deserved
his fate. Strange to relate tho
among his supporters were to be found
the ancestors of George Washington,
who were cavaliers. The next impor-
tant step was the enactment of the ha-
beas corpus act before mentioned, then
in 1888 the famous Bill of Rights was
legally enacted into law and which
guaranteed freedom of speech and of
the press, etc.
LII 1919 the first representative as

convened at jamestown, Virginia
And 157 years later the declaration OF
independence, the acme of political
thought, was promulgated to the world
And so all eyes were turned toward
America, that refuge of hope for down
trodden mankind. And they came, the
Dutch to New York; the English tt
Virginia and Massachusetts; the Swede'
to Delaware; the Spaniards to Florida
the French to Canada and the Mississippi
valley, and later the Germans to Ger

much thoughtful matter, it also con-
tanned several incorrect statements that
should not go unchallenged. In said
article we are Informed "That Justice
is superior to Natures laws" This ad-
mission must be hyperbole, for have
yet to hear of any one making such a
claim. We always supposed that Ma
lures laws were immutable, and that
justice had no more to do with regulat-
ing the seasons of the year, ETC., than
had Natures laws to do with propagat-
ing revolutions in South America.
We are also informed that justice
should supersede law. This will sur
prise about nine-tenths of the English
speaking people, for they have hereto
fore cherished the belief that law was
invariably founded upon justice. When
the law is violated justice demands
vindication. Justice is the embOdi-
ment of law; but it is not superior to
law, for when one demands justice, he
evokee the law. This demonstrates
that law is founded upon justice. The
current ideas pertaining to law, justice,
mercy, and sympathy are so confusing
that sympathy is more often appealed
| to than justice. An innocent man will
demand justice, so will the party who
has been injured. But if there was no
law. there would be no use to ask for
justice.
Again: Gall of the suffering of the
various peoples, in various nations, can
be traced to the superiority of law over
Justice" In theory this is true, be-
cause mems ideas pertaining to justice
are constantly changing. Still, it must
be admitted tina. whenever a people
demand new constitution, they pro-
mulgate new laws for the government
of the people, and that these laws are
invariably founded upon justice; in
other words, drafted according to the
will of the people. When America
gained her independence it was not q
question of law or justice that brought
on the conflict. 1t was taxation with.
out representation that caused the con.
troversy. Patrick Henry did not thrill
the American people by crying for jus
tice. Indeed no! 1t was national lib
erty that he wanted; and it was England
that was demanding Justice.
Mems ideas pertaining to what is JUS

Law and Justice.

and unjust differ as materially as their
ideals; and, altho every state in the
Union has legislators at work passing
new laws and repeating others, it is still
quite impossible to satisfy every one
who has grievance. However, If all
men were to receive exact justice for
each and every transgression of law,
they might conclude that justice was a
species of persecution. Therefore,. it is
we'll for individuals and society that
every ybody does not demand justice on
the slightest provocation. Of course
this is not to be feared, for it is human
nature to err. He who is conscious of
his own frailties, pauses before demand
ing justice against his fellOw-man; for
he who asks for justice starts in motion
the machinery of the law.
The Mosaic Interpretation of justice
was "An eye for an eye aud q tooth for
TOOTH" Drsco's idea of justice was
death for the slightest disobedience on
the part of the individual, such as theft,
laziness, etc. Christ's Incompatible
idea of Justice is: "DO unto others as
you would wish them to do unto you"
Today men demand that justice be tenn
pered with mercy So it Is all thru the
ages. No man wishes to see justice
Isupersede law, for this would mean
mob violence, a form of wild justice
that all.men deplore. AS we have said
before, justice and law are so closely
interviewer that it is impossible to in-
woke the former without arousirg the
latter. w..

of other nations, began to work out
their destiny untrammeled by the priv
ileged puppets of royalty. They found
here virgin continent remote from
the scenes of strife and turbulence
which were common to continental
Europe. Here the savage redman
roamed unhindered, and tho treach-
erous and cruel, his company was pref
erable to the tyranny which they left
behind. Here they toiled laboriously
to ease the burdens Of posterity. Here
was erected magnificent nation which
today numbers upward of 100000
souls, and beside which Rome at the
zenith of her glory paIes into insignifi-
canoe.
The careers of Grant, the tanner,
Lincoln, the railsplitter, Farragut, the
orphaned midshipman who at the age
of fourteen trod the bloOd-stained
decks of the Essex in Valparaiso har-
Dor, emphasizing the utterance of the
martyred Mckinley. There is no class
distinction in this fair land of ours.
We are the inheritors of their achieve
ments. 1t is for us to determine wheth-
er it is worth while to adhere to the
path of duty so clearly marked by them.
And now I. shall close this paper by
quoting part of Lincoln's Gettysburg
speech: "That from these honored dead
we take increased devotion to that
cause for which they gave the last full
measure of 'devotion-that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall not
have died in vain, that this nation un-
der God shall have new birth of free
dom, and that government of the peo-
pie by the people for the people shall
not perish from the earth. G.
