INSTRUMENTATION

"T HILE each local solon in the ter
wv thousand corners of the state
is writing his new law for in.
PRODUCTION to the next legislature, and
while busy men are taking time from
severe business demands to frame and
present some new ordinance to the city
council, 1t may be wise to halt and
think over some very sensible remarks
made by Judge Alton B. Parker in his
recent address before the American
Bar association at Portland, Me.
Judge Parker condemned hasty and,
therefore, immature law making, and
directed attention to the passage of
1900 bills by the last New York state
legislature, and showed how the veto
power of the governor alone saved the
people from being saddled with 4S4 of
that great number. Instances were
cited where smaller states had passed
1000 laws in sixty days; and he, natur-
ally, questioned the wisdom of and
necessity for such hasty legislation.
doubted the ability of the best trained
lawyers to critically examine the
phraseology of 1000 laws in six months.
This fault of excess in the number of
legal enactments over the requirements
OF good government is deep-rooted in
the makeup Of the average California
member of the state legislature, and 1t
is a craze with him to introduce or
father some law during the session, IL
for no nobler purpose than to get his
name in print through its lack of merit.
The Herald freely gives the follow
ing good pointer to all embryo solons
now in political nests: The people are
laws ridden to the point of safety, and
would welcome a change. The man
who will take the state code home
from three thousand four hundred and
steen deadletter laws, and rise in his
place and demand they be repealed,
will not only win a place for his statue
in the new hall of fame Ito be built in
in Sacramento after the people "do up
the present board Of city trustees by
virtue of the referendum), but will re-
ceive pressing invitation to visit Los
Angeles when her people are celebrat-
ing the adoption of the new city char
ter, and tell them how hard he had
worked to accomplish what they ac-
complished in one day by an over
whelming vote, to wit, the freeing of
the city statutes from any law and
the city offices from any occupant who
voted for any law the people did not
want. 1t is even possible that Mayor
Harper would turn out the city band
and escort him to his hotel!

able comment, to the wonder of those
who pass in mental review the causes
that made for Gillett's election and
the dutiful manner in which he has
performed the tasks set for him by
his railroad creators.
John G. Lynch would not know a

If a depositary were to come into his

man to hold the responsible office OF

only appoint Lynch to office at the
behest of his masters, but take great
credit to himself for the act.
Men Of note in other communities

things are made known to them, and
the shamefaced Californian is forced

rights before the law he had outraged,
and should have been subjected 10 the
same usages meted out to all convicts.
That which this mean specimen of a
public officer did in Difference to the
money power of Glass is not only a
direct insult to every labor union man
who voted to elect him, but an insid-
ious and dangerous precedent for the
cases sure to follow.
Equality before the law has been the
constant war cry of unionism from the
day of its conception, and just as it
begins to be realized in their behalf a
chosen member of their following
meanly bends the knee to a wealthy
convict-simply because the convict is
wealthy-and sells the dignity and
honor of his colleagues for the con-
victs favor.
There have been many shameful and
shameless acts recorded of officials in
the pending trials of the grafters but
this act of despicable meanness out
strips them all. 1t is not difficult to
believe that all classes of men in San
Francisco, had they the saving power
of the recall in their county charter,
would promptly exercise that power
and depose tTfs unworthy occupant
from the sheriff's office

PARCELS POST LAW

lMHE demand for a parcels post ser.
vice In the United States has
reached the stage of chronic need
and the coming session of congress
must take some action looking toward
Its creation. The good of such a SER
vice Is so patent and objections so few
that nothing but a powerful moneyed
lobby could have kept it from the peo-
pie so long
In Germany, where the lobby cam
not act, the people have the fullest
PROOF OF its good points in being able
to send packages weighing 10 pounds
through the mails. 1t is common to
send CHECKERS, goose eggs or cases of
winet through the mails, and students
at a distant school send their linen
home to be washed and returned by
mall This sort of service has been in
vogue in Germany for many years and
has grown from small beginnings to
meet the wants Of the people as they
developed.
In that service a certain area is set
apart, variously including circles of
from ten to $50 miles in circumference
and an eleven-pound package will be
carried ten miles for six cents. and
anywhere up to $50 miles for 12 cents.
Parcels Weighing not more than eleven
pounds are delivered anywhere in Ber-
lin or other cities for 21s cents. If II
chanced to call for what Americans
know as rural delivery it would cost 6
cents for the limit of eleven pounds. All
such parcels may be sent as ordinary
mail or they may be registered or sent
on special delivery, or even sent C. o.
D. In case of C. o. D. delivery the
postman collects and charges a small
fee for the service. To make service
better 1t is arranged that for a small
additional fee one may select a fast
limited train for his parcel and in
sure delivery by a special messenger.
All classes of German business men
find the parcels post law indispensable
to them, and they could not patiently
consider it's repeal.
One feature of traffic on German rail-
roads does not obtain here. tits true.
and that is that all German roads
must carry all parcels for the govern
ment not Weighing more than eleven
pounds free; but an entering wedge
toward a parcels post law would soon
develop benefits to all the people and
the congress would soon adapt it's will
to popular demand.
There are thousand and one ex-
cellent reasons for the institution of
the parcels post law, and only seven
against 1T; the latter being the seven
great express companies who squeeze
fat dividends from the poor for service
the government could give for one
tenth the cost.

RETAIL MARKETS

HHE San Francisco Chronicle is con-
Quoting a lively warfare against
Il the ruthless exactions of the army
of produce and commission dealers who
have the entire city trade in their
grasp and hold retail prices up to
almost prohibitive rates. Having tried
all measures possible to compass the
defeat of these mercenary men that
paper calls upon the board of state
harbor commissioners to execute a
recent law which allows. them to set
aside state lands on the city water
front for the purpose of free retail
market. and the board is promptly
responding.
1t is proposed to open one market at
the foot of Kear1ey street, near the
sea wall and, when the space is avail
able, another near the old Pacific Mail
dock on Brannan street.
The people of Los Angeles look with
envious eyes on the fortunate people
of the Bay City. and wonder when
some Moses will arise in local official
life and fight for free retail markets
for them.
In the cost of such commodities as
ice. coal and milk Los Angeles is as
badly handicapped as are any people

Mystery surrounds the strange disap-

short time ago and were threatened by
rival tongsmen if they did not side with
their factions One tong threatened
death If Che Joined the other. The lat

Private detectives employed on the case

When his sons life was threatened, the
father went to Attorney F. r. Pratt, who
has been interested in cases connected
with the tong disputes. Attorney Pratt
made an appointment with Che for the
following day, but the boy and his father
never returned. Mr. Pratt. has had pri.

UNWORTHY o'NEIL

MHE Schmitz trial and Ruef exam
ination gave the people of Califor-
= MIA some chance to form opinions
of the character of Sheriff O'Neil Of
San Francisco, and the opinions so
formed are not wholly to his credit.
The Bulletin of that city portrays
O'Neil in the following words, which
make interesting reading to all who
followed the Glass trial:
Sheriff O'Neil is going the wrong
way about ingratiating himself with
the union labor men,. by whom he ex-
poets to be reelected. If an obscure
member of union had been convicted
of bribe-giving O'Neil would have
pitched him into the county Jail with
out ado and would have compelled him
to stand in line and take his meals
with the other prisoners. But wealthy
prisoner like Louis Glass is treated
by O'Neil with extreme solicitude. In
stead of being conveyed to the county
Jail after the verdict Glass was taken
by the amiable O'Neil to first class
hotel, where the sheriff registered him
self and his prisoner under false names
Glass went to bed in a room by him
self, while the sheriff snored serenely
in another room, dreaming of mass
meetings in which he heard himself ac-
claimed by thousands OF union men as
the tried and true representative OF the
.workingmen, the dauntless opponent
Of ill-gotten wealth and plutocratie
privilege.
"At the county jail, where he now re-
sides, Glass is treated with obsequiou'
Difference by his jailers. He dwell'
apart from the rest of the prisoners
and dimes in a private room, and is al
exclusive as he pleases to be-"

under the sun, and as for fruit and
vegetables they are entirely too high.
Prices are exceedingly high to the COM
mission men, and by the time the ped
dler gets his increase the cost passes
the reach of the poor mans purse.
Potatoes are held at very high prices,
and the crop, though very large. is held
cornered by someone and the people
must pay to loose 1t. Meats of all
classes are in the Same category, and
no measure Of relief is at hand.
Boston, Philadelphia and New Or
lears are noted for their great public
retail markets, to which heads of
families regularly go and purchase
direct from the producer the needs Of
their tables, obtaining just what they
want and, under keen competition, at
fair prices.
Flats, hotels and apartment houses
largely predominate in Los Angeles, it
is true, but if roomy. clean and we'll
stocked public retail markets were in
existence 1t would not take the people
long to see their advantage and
grasp it.
The Herald repeats that the prevail
ing excessive prices for the common
necessaries are more powerful to repel
intending settlers than all the boosting
Of all the excellent agencies can be to
bring them here, and that this field of
high and excessive prices for food of
all kinds could be worked to good ad-
vantage by those who bring things to
pass in Los Angeles.
