SAFETY OF PASSENGERS

TT would seem that Providence, or
some other occult power, has de-
= cided to force the issue of providing
adequate safeguards for passenger
traffic, by land and sea, and the heart
rending loss of the Columbia and her
people reopens a sore chapter in the
history of the settlement of the Pacific
coast and urges on the good work.
This disaster could not, in these days,
have happened in transatlantic travel,
because the interests of owners have
been consulted and the bulkhead system
introduced, rendering the great grey
hounds practically unsuitable. 1t
required but few losses of great steam
ships to affect stock and dividends, and
so the costly appliances were intro
duced for the prosaic reason that they
were cheaper in the end.
Recently the thermostat, a contri-
vance fixed on the bow of the ship,
calculated to give notice of approach to
icebergs by recording a lower tempera-
ture, failed to save liner from collid-
ing with huge berg and staving a
great hole in her bow The bulkheads
Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-29

aft of the break were closed, and the
ship made port almost on time with
her forward compartment filled with
water Why was this not the case with
the Columbia? Because she was fitted
with bulkheads which were jammed by
the freight and which could not be con-
trolled from a fixed central point.
Her captain did all thorough and
gallant man could do, but he was help
less and sealed with his life his devo-
tion to duty.
There can be no question of positions
or courses The northern bound steam
ers always run from point to point
twelve miles off shore; the southbound
ones following a parallel course three
miles farther in. AT these distances
both can readily distinguish coastwise
lights, and each feel he is on safe
ground. But when fog intervenes and
no light can be seen, and there is
danger of overrunning a given dis
tance, there is need to get in on the
land to verify the position, thus in
creasing the chances of collision, 1t is
true; but this is one of the unavoidable
perils of coast traffic. The ships are
furnished with every known appliance
for signaling, but with no alternative
other than the boats in case the signals
fail or are not needed. The Dakota
and Minnesota of Hills line and the
great ships of the Pacific Mail line all
have compartments that work from the
bridge, because the loss of one of the
ships means loss of $2,00000J or more
directly and greater losses indirectly,
through loss of time to replace them.
With the coast traffic it is very diff
ferent. The ships are never of more
than 5000 tons, and almost all of them
are old; their freight spaces are small
and always stored full, and working
bullheads would diminish this space
and cut the earning power of the ships
therefore, from the managerial stand
point, practical bulkheads are not
and-"what are you going
to do about it?"
The national bureau of inspection has
capdple Inen III Dan rrdhclsco WIN see
the law is obeyed, but they neither
make the law nor have they discretion
in it's enforcement. The law, then, is
inadequate, in that it does not compel
all passenger steamships in deep water
traffic to be fitted with water-tight
closing compartments
sufficient in number to afford the maxi
mum of safety in case of collision or
Such law must come from congress,
and it is to be hoped that California's
delegation will take the matter up at
the coming session, compelling all
steamships carrying passengers on
ocean courses to be fitted with water
tight bulkheads.

HURRY THE CANAL

I'm the lives of a free and intelligent
people the thing most sorely needed,
l. if within the scope of possibilities,
is certain to be achieved, and that par
ticular thing just now to the Pacific
slope is competition in rates for pas
senger and freight traffic from the
Atlantic seaboard.
Courts, commissions, boards and
agencies all over the country, products
of this overwhelming need, are wrest-
ling with the great transportation
problem, and projected investment of
scores of millions of dollars halts to
await a satisfactory solution. Pooling
of corporate interests has been the bane
of Pacific progress, and until some
method of combating corporate rail-
way greed is discovered the Pacific
commercial and business world must
stand handicapped.
How CHEEKY and inspiriting then are
charge of construction at Panama, that
Everything is progressing admirably"
The Panama canal is the one and only
relief possible to would-be investors.
So many millions in the aggregate are
tied up in transcontinental roads that
they have created a power little short
of autocratic, and suppliant capital is
ever at its feet for living business rates.
The sheriffs of the Pacific coast have
been pallbearers at countless business
funerals in the past where death was
caused by draining the blood from the
body through piratical railway COM
bines, and it will be a good day for
business men and patrons when COM
petition breaks this killing grip and
leaves our markets open to the simple
and healthy laws of supply and de-
mand, minus the railway rakeoff.
Time and again the common good of
the whole people has challenged the
whole public consciences, and what
they wanted they obtained.
The common good now needs compe-
tition in transportation rates, and the
Panama canal will achieve that need.
1t is well then that all honest effort
possible be brought in play to hold up
the hands of the men who have its
building in charge and to keep wary
watch on corporate designs on its
future management through its agen-
cies in both houses of congress.

THE GLASS Jury

-HAT the jury in the case of the
state against Louis Glass for
a bribery in San Francisco should
disagree causes no wonder, 1t was a
foregone conclusion that the refusal of
thinner to testify took from the prose-
cution the one effective proof on which
it relied to convict.
Reduced to a purely legal status the
lack of direct evidence was conspicuous
and the fact that the defense saw fit to
waive rebuttal was further proof of
the paucity of evidence against the
accused.
1t is difficult to forecast the effect of
the disagreement on the trials of other
cases of a similar nature, but it GER
tainly will have tendency to still the
clamorous cry for indiscriminate con-
victions regardless of evidence so COM
mon of late.

A lust VERDICT

"a II EN- lWeAly = nOuIS VI tdTL6St
~ deliberation the jury in the case
of William D. Haywood, on trial
for completely in the murder of ex-
Governor Steunenberg at Boise, Idaho,
returned verdict of not guilty yester-
day morning at 7:30 o'clock.
The case at it's outset attracted ma
tional and, later, international atten-
prejudice had sprung up on both sides,
and largely because of the heavy in
vestment of foreign capital in the terri
tory covered by the Western Federation
of Miners, of which organization the
accused is secretary In a
sense it may be said that the interests
for and against conviction followed
the lines of cleavage generally recog-
nized between clashing capital and
labor
William D. Haywood was charged
! with the crime of conspiring to murder
former Governor Steunenberg of Idaho,
crime which in it's coldblooded details
stands out from similar crimes as
meanest and most cowardly of them all.
Steunenberg was about to enter his
home on the night of December 80, 1905,
and when he opened the gate leading
thereto a bomb, connected with the
gate by string. exploded, tearing open
his left side, from the effects of which
he died shortly after. The state and
nation were appalled,, and all the ma
chinery Of the law was at once used to
bring the murderer to justice.
Owing to bitter warfare between the
miners and mine owners suspicion was
directed to the former and resulted in
the arrest of Harry Orchard who con-
fessed to the deed, his confession i'm
plicating Haywood with others as hav-
ing been accessory before the fact.
The Pinkerton detective agency
compassed the arrest of the accused
men in Denver, Colo, and turned them
over to the authorities of Idaho, and
the trial just ended is the sequel.
Aside from all other considerations
the verdict must stand as a notable
proof of the supremacy of law and
order, and as strictly in accordance
with the law and the evidence in the
case. No sophistry, no prejudice can
cloak the fact that the last letter of
the law was invited and used by both
Sides and that the verdict was in ac-
cordance with it's honest construction.
Wide and bitter are the differences be-
tween the great interests of the mine
owners and mine workers, and the
powerful reflex influences of these
troubles were felt all through the case;
the state and it's people were hostile to
the defendant; the ablest counsel OBJ
tainable opposed him; the murderer, in
person, implicated him; the whole
world. under the drag of sleuths boil
stored with limitless money, was
searched to find evidence to convict
him; and yet the jury, chosen from
among a supposedly hostile people,
under mastery construction of the
law from the bench, acquitted him.
The partisans of labor and capital
will continue to adhere to their differ
ing views of guilt or innocence, but the
great mass of the people will hail the
verdict with pleasure, not only as just
and in accordance with the law and the
evidence, but for the further fact that
it is proof that innate love of and
respect for law are regnant still in the
hearts of the masses.

INpIscREET CRITICISM

~ APTAIN OF POLICE JOHN
MOONEY has been discharged
from the San FRANCISCO police
force for criticising his superior officer,
an offense against the rules of the de-
partment.
1t is highly probable there were many
mitigating circumstances in this case,
and 1t is a matter of record that Capt.
Mooney was one of the ablest officers
in that city; nevertheless he was guilty
of an offense which strikes at the root
of discipline, and of which he, of all
men, should not have been guilty.
The police force of all large cities is,
commonly, the butt of newspaper sar-
casm and individual criticism, and in
times of great public interest it's officers
and members are criticised by all sorts
of people, but there should be an esprit
de corps within its ranks which should
bind it's members as a unit against the
world and solidify it's executive powers.
Discretion, that sure test of character
in a brave man, is vitality requisite
quality in all who command, and no
man can be trusted to preserve the
peace of a great city filled with people
of all classes and nationalities who
does not possess and use it.
Politics in the San Francisco police
force has given. just cause for much
complaint among officers and men, but
it should have been made through off,
cial channels and not to individuals.
Any cause which threatens the effec-
tiveness of a police force is dangerous,
and indiscreet criticism of superior
officer is easily in this class.

doubtless will urge the omission of the
initiative, referendum and recall. Better
