ARE WE CIVILIZED?

'NAPTAIN WILLIAM II. VAN
SCHAICK, who was sentenced to
~ ten years imprisonment for re-
sponsibility for the Slocum steamship
disaster four years ago, has lost his
fight for freedom and must go to Jail.
In view of the fact that Van Schaick
was q hired man, and that no protests
on his part would have induced the
wretched owners of the Slocum to
equip the vessel with modern con-
veniences and appliances, his sentence
is a hardship. 1t is not generally
l.rorpr, that the unfortunate captain,
at the time of the appalling accident,
was 70 years old, and should not have
been allowed to navigate a ship in
New York harbor, or any other har-
Dor. 1t was a very madness of ire
sponsibiIity that placed this aged vet
eran on the bridge. 1t is cowardly
lodging of the placing of all the
weight of the real responsibility that
is tearing him away from his old
wife, and sending him to states pris-
on. Are we civilized?

follows; LAS city forester I have is
sued a permit to the Pacific Telegraph
and Telephone company TO trim trees
in front of your property. Unless you
trim them or give a written protest
within five days the company will trim
them. BEWARE OF LIVE WIRES.
e. ]. Harper. City Forester"
On the very day upon which this
notice was received by residents in
the neighborhood of Thirty-sixth and
Main street. where there are many
fine pepper trees the work called
trimmings was begun. In reality it
is tree butchery. The peppers are be-
ing stripped. not trimmed. If the
Reverend Forester should happen to
take a stroll in the vandalized district
within the next few days, let him fol-
low his own advice. and beware OF

POPULAR VICTORY

I is with much qualification that The
Herald is able this morning to pub
lish a dispatch from Senator Flint
to Mr.. Stephens. president of the cham
Der of commerce. in which the senator
positively pledges himself to amend his
joint resolution concerning the location
of the harbor lines at San Pedro so
that it shall include the west basin and
provide for complete location of the
harbor lines, and also to eliminate from
the joint resolution all language which
will allow any private interest to inter-
fere with the location of these lines. If
Senator Flint will put his joint resolu .
ton through in this form he will entitle
himself to the gratitude of his con-
stituents and win give evidence of the
fact that he is q worthy successor in
the. senate of Los Angeles great son,
Stephen NJ White, whose splendid fight
against all the powers of corruption at
Washington won a free harbor for the
people of Los Angeles. Southern Cali
fornia and the southwest.

is HARTMAN IMMUNE?

N ASTERN critics of their own local
h. conditions point out remarkable
= inconsistency between the words
and the actions of ]. Pierpont Morgan
and other men of might and power and
substance in Wall street. These have
been asserting their own probity and at
frequent intervals have taken occasion
to tell the world. directly or through
press agents, that they deplore the
shocking conditions which created a
prejudice against the financiering that
is called high and that involved in that
prejudice many Wall street firms which
believe they have been unjustly
splashed by the aspersions cast upon
their naughty neighbors.
Eminent financiers are continually de-
ploring popular prejudice against their
class. They resent what they term the
injustice of confounding the good with
the bad. But what are the head men
in financial circles doing to give Wall
street a better name? What course is
being pursued to redeem it and restore
1t to Responsibility? When Morse.
Heinze and Thomas. in spite of all
their cunning. finally fioundered into
difficulties, they were wiped out. 1t
was a good beginning, but it was only
a beginning. What have Morgan and
men of like substance and Of equal
weight done to rid Wall street of Har-
riman?
Has Wall street shown any DISPOSE
ton to deal with Hartman as Morse.
Heinze and Thomas were dealt with !?
Have any Of Wall streets leaders raised
their voices In denunciation Of him and
asserted their honor by repudiating
him? AS long as financiers tolerate
Hartman as their partner and busi-
ness associate what can Wall street
expect but the suspicion of people who
place common honesty above success
full rascality? Wall street can clean
house If it will Let it set about the
task with thoroughness that may win
back the regard Of disguised and sus-
picious nation. Why should Hartman
be the beneficiary Of q quasi immunity
deal?

BRAVE FIGHT OF THE POLES
AGAINST THE GERMAN BULLY

since the failure of the lingual cam
pa:Sr, become g policy oe appropriation
of Polish landlords and the opening
of their lands to German colonization.
first attempt to enforce the policy
did not succeed because of defects in
the legislation authorizing it. and now
the whole weight of the government
is concentrated for the passage OF q
bill intended to grant full powers.
Chancellor Buelow takes the ground
that the adoption of the law is alb
solutely necessary, as otherwise Ger
many stands in peril of the complete
loss of the Polish provinces because
of the spread of anti-German senti-
ment. The Poles, as has been said,
meet, this aggression by refusing to buy
goods of German manufacture, and
this, it is said, has caused modifica-
ton of the bill TO provide that only
IT'S. 900 acres can be held subject to
appropriation at one time. The Poles,
however, are not Modified thereby.
The attempted Germanization of Prus-
sian Poland is analogous to the Aus
trian attempt to Germanize Hungary,
which failed, and the Hungarian pro-
gram of Magyarizing the races tribu-
tary to Hungary. The campaign
against the Prussian Poles has been
long continued, and is not yet in sight
of success. Even subjugated and sub
ordinated races die hard. The Poles
were never more determined than now.
