CONGO FREE STATE

HHE atrocities committed on the
people of the Congo Free State by
Il the hirelings of Leopold, king of
the Belgians, for the past twenty years
are to be ended and civilized peoples
will rejoice thereat. Because of the
isolated position of that land, and the
fact that it was nominally under the
protection of the powers, led by the
United States, the general public was
slow to believe the appalling stories OF
cruelty which drifted out into civiliza-
tion.
The missionaries of the various Chris
tian sects were first and most impor-
tunate for remedial measures, their
work taking them in among the en-
slaved people, and the awful proofs
they give of murders and the mutila-
ton of living men and women by cruel
taskmasters almost passes belief.
1t is a land of great wealth, in which
rubber, ivory, the cereals, gold, copper
and iron are found in abundance, and
is drained by huge navigable stream,
affording easy access to the largest
vessels. 1t has a population approxi-
mating 20,000,00O, and, generally, a
healthy climate. Under wise and hu-
name rule it could be developed into a
prosperous and wealthy country, but
the barbarities practiced there in the
name of philanthropy by the Belgian
king and his satellites have drained 1t
of men and wealth till it stands a vast
tomb for enterprise.
1t is gratifying to know that the con-
sciences of the nations are awake, at
last to conditions in this stricken land,
and that speedy, if tardy, justice is to
come to the helpless millions who have
known the curses of civilization and
none of its blessings.

CHINESE ToNGs

'HH HE war of the tongs in Los An
geles, like that of the San Fran
cisco Chinese, seems to be peren-
nial and past the power of the author
tiles to successfully cope with The
long list OF crimes and debaucheries
charged to these heather ruffians con-
stitute a chief hindrance to municipal
growth, and unlike all other burdens
imposed upon the people give no ap-
parent or real equivalent for the trouble
and disgrace they entail.
The Chinese exclusion law saved CAL
ifornia from open rebellion, but it's re-
suits in no wise freed her people from
the contamination consequent upon
their presence. Judges, juries and
police officials all have fallen before
the insidious methods of wealthy Mon
golians, and the pity of it all is that
existing law is criminally' imperative
or incompetent to meet the require
ments in the interests of decency and
order. Moralists, philosophers, political
economists and humanitarians have
strutted the stage of public notice, and
still the shame and hatred of 1t all
grows, by reason of constant and fla
grant disregard of the law and those
charged with its enforcement.
No occult power attends the lawless
ways of Chinese tongs, Japanese clubs
or Italian Maflas. Money-dollars and
cents-is the root of these evils, and
lust for it has dwarfed duty in scores of
official breasts. One of the most per-
sistent and insistent nursing places
of the curse called graft" is the
point at which the shameful and
ever ready bribe has passed from
the heather criminal to the pocket
of the so-called civilized official.
Without money with which to placate
those who prey upon them in the name
of law, and to hire those who defend
them when justly apprehended, the
solution of this trying problem would
be easy.
The way to deliverance, then, is
the keen vigilance of the peo-
with public law enforcement, till
marked examples of punishment for
delinquency shall be powerful enough
to do what the sense Of duty to the
people fails in doing.
The present seems a good time for a
raid and wholesale roundup
of Chinatown, irrespective of the finan-
cial standing of any resident thereof,
and the closest examination of all, that
the numbering and lawless element may
be known and it's power for harm
ended

CRUELTY TO CHILDREN

A RECENT CASE in neighboring
IA town, in which boys of and 10
Ia years stole bicycles and buggies
with which to get away from home,
calls attention to the crying need for
some competent method of exposing
and Furnishing cruelty to children.
These children may have lied in their
story of cruelty, for falsehood is the
certain refuge of children who have
been raised to hate the home. yet our
local columns give frequent and damn
ing proof that children are abused and
inhumanly treated, and only in the
most aggravated cases-and then only
when neighbors are outraged in their
feelings-are arrests made.
The grist of the local divorce courts
arouses, by it's insistent offense to
morals, a passing notice, and then is
forgotten, while the unhappy children
concerned are sometimes forced to live
lives of want and suffering such as the
great. busy world is 10th to believe.
We legislate for the dumb brute, and
il is a good work; we support model
charitable institutions, and they meet
a great need; but mo agency, other
than those of voluntary kindness and
service, exists to shield the loveless,
suffering lives of the poor children of
unnatural parents. Cuffs, kicks and
curses dwarf the modicum of good such
parentage chances to give them, and
when the life of the aimless wanderer
comes to them, as the only relief from
unbearable conditions, their hearts are
soured to the race and society reaps a
deserved punishment at the hands Of
criminals, who, if shielded in youth
from heartless parents, might have
been honest and helpful men and
women.
During the holiday season scores of
instances may be noted where bearded
men, with tear-filled eyes, transformed
into children again for the moment,
give recklessly of money, toys. fruits
and sweets to wayside, hungry, stranger
children, because of the ineradicable
sorrow that haunts their own remem-

CITRUS INTERESTS

O ENATOR FLINT, just home from
~ Panama, paints the future of our
citrus fruit interests in glowing
terms, when the great canal shall be
open to traffic. His statements find
ample corroboration in the status Of the
West India fruit trade now in opera
tion between that country and our
Atlantic ports.
Great floating cold storage ships bring
immense cargoes Of tropical fruits to
our shores in as prime condition as
when it left the plantations, and totally
free from the bad effects of jolting and
shaking common to railroad transit
Then, too, the fruit is not disturbed,
once it is slowed in the ships, till it is
discharged at its destination.
An ordinary steamship of 1000 tons
displacement, properly fitted, could
take aboard more oranges than fifty
fast freight trains could haul and de-
liver in New York city in an ave-
for much less than the roads would
charge, and keep the fruit in faultless
condition. There can be no lack Of
transportation, and no pooling of traffic
interests, if the growers and all others
interested keep a wary eye on possible
ship subsidy legislation, to the end
that corporate capital shall not own
and control all the tonnage in the fruit
trade.
The blessings here outlined are of
such magnitude in the eyes Of our
railroad ridden citrus men that they
are doubtless unit in wishing for the
day of deliverance.
Similar benefits must largely come to
our great importing interests, and it
will be great day for California i'm
porters when goods in bond shall reach
Pacific ports through matches that re-
ceived them in continental ports. With
the questionable jugglery of railroad
manipulators eliminated the conduct of
large trade will not be hedged about
with the present conditions of merci-
less fleeing. The interests of the canal
are vitally close to the interests of
California.

INSPIRITING WORDS

II Ohm MURPHY of general counsel
for the Western Federation of
y Miners, who lay almost at deaths
door, learned of the verdict of ac-
quittal from Haywood himself short
ly after his release from prison.
Haywood, flushed with triumph and
elated with joy, clasped the sick
man in his arms and gave way to the
pent up feelings born of months of i'm
prfsonment and suffering. Murphy,
who had watched the case with hawk
like care from its inception and who,
as much as any man in the ranks of
the friends of. the defense, was in
terested in an acquittal, lying doomed
in the grasp of a fatal malady, purified
and ennobled through suffering, looked
out past the weaknesses of men,
spanned the great gulf of division be-
tween warning factions and brought the
Christlike into this human maelstrom.
much as the Nazarene did on the Gal
ilean lake centuries ago, when he
Gained the turbulent sea. Rising, this
stricken man said to his acquitted
friend:
"Bill, in this hour of your great
triumph be humble and thankful"
The eloquence of counsel In the Hay
wood case will long be the measure of
forensic ability to partisans therein,
and the triumph of just law in the case
will always be a source of pride to the
people, but it is certain that this touch
of the divine nature from the lips of
this stricken man will live longer and
work more effectively for good in hui
man lives than can any incident of the
famous trial.
In the concrete the American people
are God-fearing people, and under the
chilling veneer of business and par
tisan greed is a loyalty to the tenets of
the Sermon on the Mount that no
measure Of selfishness can kill and no
clash of creeds obliterate. Murphy, a
paid representative of partisan inter-
ests, did the duty Of paid advocate
fully, but over and above duty to self
and employers he did a measureless
service for good to all mankind. The
civilized world, shrinking in horror
from Orchard, will thank God for Muir
ply, and take heart again.
