Mr.. Jacobs has said. Moral cowardioe is
one of the institutions of the state. But
it will not always be So, The awaken
ing is coming. The numerical strength
of the moral towards is not what 1t
was a year ago. There is a Jacobs in
every city in the state, awaiting the
psychological moment for action. The
death knell of Southern Pacific control
of the arteries of life in all depart
ments in the state has been sounded.
But strange as it may seem there are
those who have not heard it, or, hav-
ing detected it, lack the responsive
fiber. Isidor Jacobs has been cheered
forward by the pace set by Spreckeis
and Heney. He is striding toward the
van. He and the organization for which
he is acting are splendidly isolated just
now, but it will not be long before he
will be having hard time to find
elbow room in which to work. But the
people will not forget the day when
those who tender him a belated sup
port did everything in their power to
deter him because of their fear that the
dying railroad machine in its last
struggle might do them some temporary
harm.

admitted by students of finance and by

essential to the ultimate prosperity OF
the country, but no one contends longer
that the nation is scheduled for prolonged
depression which would assume the pro-
portions of a panic. Manufacturers and

MORAL coWARDIcE

TT does not seem prossible that the
efforts of the organization of San
u Francisco shippers to prosecute the
railroads for having given rebates
should meet with opposition from such
a source as that of the traffic associa-
tion of the Merchants exchange of that
city: yet this is exactly what recent
disclosures make apparent. According
to special dispatch from San Fran
cisco which appeared in the Los An
geles Express two or three days ago
the secretary of the Merchants Ex-
change Traffic association has bitterly
assailed the organization for which
Isidor Jacobs is preparing to take the
Southern Pacific rebate cases into
court.
The latter explains the opposition of
the traffic association as being due en-
tirely to the influence of the Southern
Pacific. Mr.. Jacobs is quoted as saying:
1.-The reason for our refusal to affil-
late with the traffic association that
has been organized in the Merchants
exchange is that we have found that
the leading men in it are merchants
who have been receiving rebates from
the railroads. Their main purpose
would be to throttle any such efforts
as ours to bring the companies to book.
''That has been the chief difficulty in
San Francisco. The commercial bodies
that might have taken some steps to
compel the railroads to give a square
deal to all shippers have been under
the control of the railroads themselves.
1t is an easy matter to WELD control by
giving the directors of such bodies
favors and concessions in shipping, and
everybody else is left without an ave-
nue. of redress.
1.-The chamber of commerce has al
lowed us to use its rooms for meeting
purposes only because it dared not re-
fuse u.s. We are in this fight to stay,
and though the opposition is strong we
have confidence of ultimately gaining
our rights. AS soon as we show to the
merchants that our fight will be Of
avail and that the law will protect US
from the revengeful tactics of the
| transportation companies many more
Of them will come fiocling to us.
"The fear of retaliatory measures on
the part of the railroads is not with
out reason. as past experience has
shown. But. on the other hand. there
are many exhibitions of cowardice that
are at least not to be commended. II
the merchants win only stick together
we can win the fight easily. We have
the support of the interstate commerce
commission, and rebating and arbitrary
chargings have got to stop in Cali
fornia."
San Francisco is not alone among the
cities of California in that its COM
mercial bodies have feared the heavy
hand of the Southern Pacific SO closely

dustrial fabric of the state has this

clearings Of the country for last week
are two significant indications of the fact
that business is again on the UP grade.
The December dividends and interest
payments will aggregate SSI,0Si,I40, a5
compared with $7S,274,701 in December of
1906 and $55, 5,456,663 In December of 1905.
The total is the largest on record for De-
cember in spite of the fact that several
of the largest dividend paying companies
have passed their dividends. owing to
the stringenoy in the money market.
Nearly all of the copper companies. whose
dividends amounted to nearly S5,000,000
last December, have passed their divi-
dends this year. This deficit has been
made up and an increase over the record
shown by the dividends of smaller COM
panies that have had most prosperous
year and did not figure in the paying list
last year. Railroad companies pay about
$40O 900 OF the total December dividends.

RUssIA's MISTAKE

NEN. STOESSEL. once hailed by
T Russia as the brave defender of
VI Port Arthur, military COM
mander at whose feet the whole Rus
sian nation once fell, is being tried for
his life on the complaint that he
showed cowardice in surrendering the
"invulnerable' stronghold to the Jap
anese. whatever Russia may do in the
matter Will not alter the sentiment of
the world outside of that country. That
sentiment appears to be that the rotten
Russian bureaucracy is making one
last stand in defense Of it's conduct Of
the war. Stoessel may be offered as a
vicarious sacrifice, but Russia will lose
a hundred fold more than she will gain.

THE SPLENDID SPUR

Your gray eyes laugh anu turn away,
And turn again and laugh.
TIL yesterday and every day
Seems Just a cup to quaR
And exchange for another cup
AS brimming full Of glee;
Oh, life's drink worth lifting up
When your eyes smile at me.
oh, life's a drink worth lifting up.
And worth the quaffing deep
When your eyes brim across the cup,
And when your glances leap
Out of your soul into my soul
Ah, then the worlds worth while!,
A lifting call, flowing bowl
And eyes that smile and smile.
Just eyes that smile and smile and smile,
And velvet finger tips;
An almost reaching for awhile
Your curved bewitching lips,
And then the turning back, and then
AS far back as may be-
And then the turning back, and then
The eyes that smile at me!
A soul pursuing all its days
A lifting laugh and smile,
And pursing lips. down perfumed ways.
Be-blosaomed mile on mile,
And never pausing for rest
Nor needless of your call;
Forever laughing in the quest,
Nor straining at your thrall.
Lips pursed as lips purse for kiss;
Cheeks rivaling the peach!
And cheeks and lips and eyes, you wis,
SO little out Of reach
That 1t would seem reaching far
Nigh. compass my desire
And bring me quite to where you are,
Then-smiling-they retire.
oh, life is good, and good are smllesI
How good there's none may say;
Ever your laughing. winsome wiles
Veneer life's rugged wayl
Endeavor makes OF life a game
Lost--won--Wonl Lostl-Your eyes,
Your lips, your laugh. your flight the glam'
Needful to high emprise.
