PERJURY A GRAVE CRlME
The Sacramento Union says:

THAT Schmitz lied on the witness
of California will not hold that against
him. They were all schoolboys once"
But Mayor Schmitz did more than to
lie, according to the verdict of the jury.
He swore to it. He swore he never
received money from the French res
taurants. Ruef said he did. The jury
decided that Ruef told the truth. There
fore Schmitz committed perjury.
1t is not believable that the Sacra-
mento Union Intended to pass lightly
over this reprehensible crimc Perjury
bears no relation whatever to the small
falsehoods of childish mind. Perjury
is one of the worst and meanest of all
the crimes with which the courts of
justice have to contend, and such a
good newspaper as is the Union makes
grave error in speaking lightly of it.
Don't let any mistake be made on
this proposition. Every honest man in
California does hold it against Schmitz
that he not only deceived and betrayed
his people and took graft money from
various sources, but that he deliber-
ately went on the witness stand, took a
solemn oath and denied his guilt.
According to the jurys verdict this
was perjury-a very serious and de-
testable crime.

The Herald takes some credit to tt
self for having Influenced the framing
of an ordinance by the city council
placing under the control of the police
commissioners the issuance of permits
or licenses to mediums and "seers. .
Heretofore it has been only necessary
for such persons to pay the city $50 a
month and licenses were at once issued.
Hereafter they will be under police con-
troll and regulation. The Herald, by
its exposures of takers, has worked
this needed reform.

LID ON IN PORTLAND

Portland, the Oregon metropolis re-
ports having passed through distress
ing ordeal last Sunday. For the first
time the experiment of a dry Sunday
was tried. AS consequence we read
that Just before the closing hour at
o'clock Sunday morning there was a
grand rush for bottled goods; many
| fortified themselves for the coming
drought by drinking all they could lay
their hands on
In the mad scramble for booze, as
related. zone man, running to get into
saloon before the doors were closed
fell and broke his Leg" And finally
Street cars to nearby towns where the
lid is not on were heavily patronized
all day Sunday"
Quite a contrast between the situa-
ton thus depicted in Portland and that
which characterized Los --ngeles at
the same time. Los Angeles has just
200 saloons, one to every 1900 of popu-
lation, approximately. Every one of
these saloons is closed "as tight as a
drum" every Sunday, a practice that
has prevailed since Los Angeles at
tanned real city pr portions. There is
no outrush to other towns on Sunday
for booze guzzling purposes, simply
because these towns generally have no
saloons and the rare exceptions strictly
observe the Sunday closing practice.
Los Angeles, in fact, is a temperate
city. The saloon business here is con-
Quoted under more rigorous regulations
than are enforced. in any other large
American city. Los Angeles opposes
prohibition, but supports temperance.
The people of this community fully rec
ognize the evils of liquor drinking, but
they also fully understand the imprac-
ticability Of prohibition, and hence are
satisfied with stringent regulation of
the saloons.

THE FEEBLE KICKER

Occasionally the faint tap of an
owens river knocker still is heard. The
few of that class in Los Angeles who
showed up on election day in figures
recalling the scattering" vote in a
general election, are quiescent now:
but a distant kick comes to notice at
times.
A San Diego newspaper, for instance,
exhibits characteristic envy by clinging
to the last straw of criticism concern
ing the Los Angeles water question. 1t
intimates that it will take somewhere
near dozen years to complete the
great aqueduct and that meantime Los
Angeles will dry up, not figurately, but
literally.
The attitude of such last-resort
knockers calls to mind the old story
of the strait-laced orthodox parson
of long ago who was asked the ques-
ton, rs # fact that none but the
elect can be saved?" ''I hope so," was
the earnest response.
Envious Los Angeles knockers fail
to see how anything now can prevent
record-breaklng prosperity for this
community, but they have vague
Mecawber-like hope that something
may turn up tc shut off the prosperous
flow. The idea that Los Angeles will
suffer for water before the aqueduct
is completed is entitled to the "booby
prize"
Secretary Taft says it would be pos
sible to have the Panama canal ready
for commerce in four years. That would
be, of course, by pushing the work to
the limit. All the engineers who have
investigated the Owens river proposi-
tion-locaL government and eminent in
dependent experts-agree that five
years will suffice, in ordinary condi-
tions, to finish the work. But if such
an emergency as a water famine should
portend, the time limit of construction
might be shortened as in the case OF
the Panama canal. Probably the work
could be accomplished, under full pres
sure, within three years.
|
apprehension about serious water short
age prior to the completion of the
aqueduct. With the known certainty OF
perennial abundance of water five
years hence or less, the water depart
ment can sink more wells If need be
wherewith to bridge the emergency
That would rapidly exhaust the sub.
surface resource, but such exhaustion
would be justified under the circum-
stances.
Aside from further development
however, the present available water
supply is sufficient, under stringent
economic conditions, to serve city oi
nearly half a million inhabitants. Tha
fact is demonstrated by the saving il
water caused by the installation o.
meters. Only comparatively small
fraction Of the city is supplied will
meters, but in case of need they coult
be supplied very rapidly.

Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-18

The Herald doffs its hat, metaphor
ically. to the Sacramento Union, in ac-
knowledgement of the following cotiss

SAN FRANcIsco'S big STICK:


Is San Francisco about to perform the
acrobatic feat. metaphorically. of leap
ing "out OF the frying pan into the
| fire.?
Only the outcome of the marvellous
situation now presented can determine
that question. There is at least an ap-
pearance of cause for anxiety on the
part Of the good citizenry of that sorely
distressed community.
The Incarceration of Mayor Schmitz
pending the date fixed for his sentence
gives immediate opportunity for in
stalling mayor in his place, according
to a provision Of the San Francisco city
charter. There can be no question
about the desirabillty of the official
riddance of Schmitz-the quicker the
better But just there comes in the
analogy with the metaphor quoted
above.
The successor to Schmitz must be
chosen by the board of supervisors.
Every member of that board is under
Indictment for official crimes involvA
ing terms in state prison. Every one
of them, with single exception, as
reported, has confessed the alleged
crimes in advance of the trial. There
fore the mayor now to be deposed
stands on exactly the same criminal
level occupied by the supervisors who
are to name his successor.
But the supervisors are said to be
now merely the official instruments,
in a general sense, of the prosecutors
who have larded Schmitz in jail. 1t is
for the welfare of the city, ostensibly,
that this extraordinary action is to be
taken. The outcome, as intimated be-
fore, may justify the means. That re-
mains to be seen.
The feature of this proceeding call
culated to excite apprehension is the
tremendous official power now admit
tedly vested in three or four individuals.
Those persons, in the order of their ap-
parent potentiality, are Assistant Pros
ecutor Heney, Detective Burns and
District --ttorney Langdon. Behind
those three stands their financial
backer, Mr.. Spreckcls.
In the hands of this small but evil
IDENTIFY mighty coterie the official future
of San Francisco appears to be "as
clay in the hands of the potter" The
supervisors, 'lnder the spur of state
prison dread, are said To be ready to
name any man whom the coterie may
name for the mayoral succession.
Then, with the executive and legislative
branches of the city government COM
pletely under command, the coterie will
be absolute masters of the official sit
uation.
This is merely clear showing of the
present situation in San Francisco. 1t
may work out for the best interests
of the community. The Herald is not
prejudging the wisdom of the drastic
action in progress nor is it impugning
the motives of the men who have
assumed so grave a responsibility. On
the contrary, The Herald earnestly
hopes that the result may prove the
wisdom of the course pursued and
that it may lead to the official regen-
Grafton of San Francisco.
But no person familiar with munich
pal history can fail, in view of all the
circumstances, to have grave misgiv-
ings about the outcome of a scheme so
suggestive of what the French call
