vieri, Assistant City Attorney Thomas
Williams and Mayor Schmitz.
Schmitz will be the central figure in
fact that the entire situation seems
to be in the hands of the board, and
the board has declared to man that
the Mayor will be its guide throughout
the negotiations.
The official party was accompanied
across the bay by number of city
officials and attaches. The clans began
to gather in the ferry building at 1920
and fifteen minutes later. when the
Mayor arrived in his automobile, a
large crowd greeted him.
Besides the board and the attaches of
that department there were present

GOES WITH A FREE MIND
In the crowd was sprinkling of
Japanese newspaper men, including
Editor Kuwabara of the Japanese Daily
new World and .Masuji Miyakawa, the
LAWYER. who accompanies the board to
washington as the representative of
the local colony.
President Walsh of the board stated
that no additional advices had been re-
ceiyed by him from Washington. He
thinks the party will remain at the
capital about two weeks.
Schmitz said he had no statement to
make except that he was going with a

body to rescind It's action In barring
the Japanese children from the San
Francisco schools. It is evident from
this that he considers the suits brought
by the Government in the Superior and
Federal courts here difficult and time
destroyins. whereas the present situa-
ton demands immediate settlement to
the satisfaction of Japan in order to
clear the skies of International clouds.
Ever since the first te1egraphie re-
quest came from Roosevelt to the
board that body has been pleading with
schmitz to proceed to Washington with
the others as leader and spokesman It's
members declared individually and col
lectively that they had no taste for the
trip unless the Mayor consented They
told him they looked to him for advice

with Schmitz in order to gain their end
BY his statement that he goes with n
free mind he intimates that he may do
as Roosevelt wishes OF he may fatty
refuse. as the notion takes him.
The relations between the Mayor and
the President are none too friendly. It is
said. and there is considerable specula-
tion among the local officials as to
the result of their meeting. The Presi-

THE. TRAMP EVIL

OUR exchanges comment at length
on the astonishing fact that in
" the years from 1901 to 1906 4a. 00C
persons lost life in railroad disasters
in this country, $4,000 of whom were
'brakebeam' tourists, or tramps. 1t
is recorded that the railroads are per-
fecting measures to abate the so-called
evil of tramps beating their way
from city to city, and what the rail-
roads want they always get, so that
the life of the tramp will hereafter
be conserved by the railroads.
But for the aggravating shame of it
all, this would be humorous. The rail-
roads, more than any other one cause
in the land, create the conditions
which make tramps, running their
plants wherever they can with cheap
alien labor forcing thousands who
would work for fair wage to tramp or
steal rides to get to where chance
may give them renunerative pay for
work. The railroads fighting against
the forced patronage of tramps is like
the "barkeep" who sandbags his GUS
toner when his last cent is gone and
marshals him to and through the door
with a bungstarter. The tramp"
curse is synchronous with Republican
ascendancy, and with 1T will be un-
known after November, 1908.

SHAMELESS BooDLER

THAT the full measure of turpitude
in the work of the Southern Pa
a ic-Republican state convention
at Santa Cruz may be realized one
must read the answer of Boodler Will
son on the witness stand in the Ford
trial when asked why he did not re-
sign an office he disgraces. There is
no reason why 1 should resign" he
answered, and, measured by the South
ern Republican code, he spoke
the truth. The men and interests
whose creature he is do not recognize
any of the great reasons the people
advance why this self-confessed bribe-
taker should get out of the public view.
Herrin needs a brazen, constituencies,
servile tool on the railroad commission,
and the Republican state convention
gave one to him in the person Of
Boodler Wilson.
This leaven of partisan deviltry will
works. working-in the minds of the
people of California in such fashion as
to fit them to rally to the support of
the next Democratic gubernatorial
nominee, and thus place a man in
power who will not only recognize the
public outcry against shame, in high
places, but by strict application OF
law make it next to impossible for
shame to trade on the public treasury.

COST OF LIVING

DRADSTREETs commercial agency
n affirnls that in the past ten years
- the cost of living in the United
States has increased some 81 per cent
over the cost in 1896. In rare instances
have wages been increased in the same
ratio, and in all cases of increase in
wages the manufacturers have made
corresponding increase in cost of their
output, so that the increased cost Of
living bears heavier on the worker
now than it did when his wages and
living were much lower.
This brings the worker and the peo-
pie generally face to face with the
ruling problem of trusts. The trusts
make 1t possible to raise prices and
the people tacitly, by their votes, make
the trusts possible. yet every sane man
knows that it is in the power of tho
people to rule the trusts. and failing
the exercise of that power the trusts
will rule the people.
There is golden opportunity coming
a year from next November when the
manhood and hard common sense of
the masses shall rise and force the
issue between the people and corporate
robbery, and under sane Democratic
rule the elements of true government
shall again be placed in the peoples
keeping, where they rightfully belong.

STRANGE INJURY
DLSABLES MINER
AGED PRosPEcToR MAY LOSE
AN ARM
Elbow sweils to Many Times Its
Normal Size as the Result of
Year-old Acci-
dent

Richard Miller, an aged prospector
and miner who for the last year has
been searching the Santa Monica noun
tains for mineral wealth, applied at the
receiving hospital last night for treat
ment for peculiar injury the result
of which may be serious to him.
More than a year ago while Miller
was prospecting above the Chatsworth
park hills he bruised his elbow with
piece of flying rock from boulder
which he was breaking with sledge.
He treated it himself with antiseptic
washes and salves and it seemed to get
we'll. At least it did not trouble him
until two weeks ago when he acci-
dentally bruised 1t again.
The elbow began to swell and IN
short time had reached enormous pro-
portions, being swollen at the present
time to many times its normal size.
The skin is drawn tight and Is cal
loused, while the arm is stiff and USE
less.
At the hospital an emergency dress
ing was applied and today an operation
will be performed in the hope of reliev-
ing Miller of his trouble. The sur
geons are of the opinion that amputa-
ton may have to be resorted to-.

BRE,R WOLF

nNE needs only to investigate the
history of the Dingley tariff on
leather to realize the protective
spirit in which Bre'r Wolf enacted the
part of Little Red Riding Hoods
grandmother. The. vice president of
one of the largest leather companies
in the country has epitomized the
opinion of the entire interest in the
declaration that ''the leather industry
is one OF the industries of the United
States that are victims. not beneficiar-
les, Of the tariff"l The leather indus
try never has needed and never has
asked for tariff protection. BY reason
of it's access to cheap tanning mate
rials, American ingenuity in the pro-
duction of labor-saving machinery, eff
f1cient labor and enterprise, American

to increase their exports. They have
been compelled to pay higher prices
for steel, copper, tools, machinery,
building material. oils and so on. be-
cause of the protective system which
always a handicap to them.
Not only did they not want it; it
was forced upon them against their
protest. When. in 1897, 1t was pro-
posed to protect hides the raw mate
rial Of the business. delegation went
to Washington and pleaded with the
ways and means committee of the
house not to fasten such a milestone
on the neck of this important industry.
But in that year Marcus A. Hanna
was supreme and he had vowed that
everything conceivable, from mares
nests, not otherwise provided for, to
eePs feet, whether dried. salted or
picked, should have protection, ire
spective of the wishes of anybody
whatsoever. So leather went into the
Dingley pot along with the rest.
All told, the United States produces
not more than between 60 and 20 per
cent of the hides annually consumed
by our tanners. Consequently any con-
tention that the duty is of benefit to
the cattle raiser or the beef packer
is without feet. Indeed, the leather
schedule would appear to have been
imposed not for protection, but for
pure cussedness.

wU TING FANG
VIZ U TING FANG, former Chinese
w minister to this country, is
slated to return to Washin gton.

n" u TING FANG, former Ch1neSe
w minister to this country, is
slated to return to Washington,
again to represent China in our diplo-
matte corps and comment condemna-
tory of him and his previous actions
in that capacity is wide and almost
viruIent. The people of the United
States, Just as those of a state, city,
town or other body of people, have
no real cause to fear a man when they
know him, for to know him is to be
prepared for his work, and if the
knowledge of him was gained through
hurt or loss because of him the need
to watch him is all the greater, and
being watched he can no longer work
harm to anyone.
WI Ting Fang is educated in the
English language and has had close
touch with modern civilization, and
thought he saw sure way to undo
the will of the American people in the
matter of the exclusion of Chinese
coolies, and he set on foot and aided
and abetted the movement known in
China as the american boycott" and
hoped through hurting our Chinese
market to coerce us into submitting to
coolie immigration. He failed miser-
ably and was called home because Of
the boomerang effects of his policy,
and now, after due Christening, he re-
turns wiser man and really much
more desirable as Chinese minister than
one who had not (but would be certain
to try) made his common mistake, l. e.,
judged the American people by his
own. The Chinese would forego all
they ever knew as principle for trade
advantage, but now their ablest men
know that Americans hold principle
above all else, and 1t is their irrevocable
will that the white labor of this coun-
try shall not be forced to compete in
this market with alien pauper labor
of any Asiatic country.
Wu Ting Fang is just what Bret
Hartes Chinaman was, cute, cunning
man, reinforced by education. but
"childlike and bland" in the execution
of his conceived mission, which is to
open our ports to Chinese immigration
at Washington and in every labor CEN
ter In the land know him now for
what he is and what he represents,
and he is as harmless and innpotent
as some of Taft's recent speeches, or

tails. 1t is not the Chinese WI Ting

ican article of that nature which
shouts friendship to the people and
smiles on them, only to draw attention
from the sinister and real motive.
