The San Francisco Tragedy.

There is field for some shrewd de-
tective work in San Francisco in cOnnec-
ton with the wounding of Prosecutor
Heney and the subsequent suicide of his
assailant Heney has been marked man
fo.. many months. AS chief prosecutor
of the charges of graft against former
officials of the city and their alleged as
sociates in crime, he has been in posses
sion of facts which, obviously, it has been
to the interest of the accused to sup
press. He has been closely guarded by
armed men in consequence of open
threats against him and whispered re-
ports of plots to take his life. Finally
a man shoots him. intending to KILL but
missing his aim by a small fraction. The
would-pe assassin dramatically declares
that he had sought revenge upon Heney
for having exposed his former prison ca
reer. The exposure occurred seven months
ago The shooter is sent to a cell and
closely guarded. He is, of course,
searched, and it is supposed that he is
unarmed His wife visits him. and under
the eye of a warden they talk for some
minutes. Later the prisoner shoots him
self to death
II is reasonable theory that the man
do so by those who are in danger of
punishment or exposure in consequence
of Heneys activities. The lapse of time
since Haas, the assailant, was dramatical-
ly proclaimed an eX-convict the fact that
he Is of a non-slaying race; the fact that
he would not have been charged with
murder; the fact that he did not at once
turn his weapon upon himself after shoot
s,.1Ix
killed himself after talking with his wife
all these circumstances. together with the
we'll understood desire of certain people
for Heney's death. suggest that he was
an agent and not principal in the muir
derous attempt. 1t was at first explained
by the police that Haas had concealed a
small pistol in his shoe. This highly i'm
| probable explanation has been quickly
| followed by the more reasonable sugges-
| ton that his wife passed him the weapon.
| But it is not essential as purely specu-

The Friend in Need.

We'd sort o felt the uplift, an we'd
money in the bank,
An Mandy said she thought that simply
turnin of a crank
An Iettin' loose the gasoline was easier
A-drivin to the city with boss an
We're jes' a-realizin' what lot O. things
> there are
The general public doesn't know about a
motor car;
An we're also realizin' what a thorough
sense of loss
You're likely to be feelin' when you go
back ON a boss.
A boss may be some lazy, but when he 8
inclined to shrk
You know that with persuasion he'll be
gettin' back to work.
But when your auto isn't feelin' right 1t
never drops
A hint of it's intention. 1t jes' stifrens
out and stops!
A boss won't scatter you around promis-
Gus Ger the scene.
You see plain fodder don't blow up an
bust, like gasoline.
An if you strike hill an find your brake
a-lettin' go,
You know that you kin stop him If you
simply holler "WhOa!'
An when you get him p'inted he will go
as he is bid.
He may do little slppin', but. by gum,
he'll never skid!
An there ain't no commutator nor no
sparkin plug to quit,
Nor yet no carburetor to be fallin' In a
Mt
So, when we've lots O. time an want to
make the neighbors stare
We start out in that auto an go glidin'
here an there.
But fur real, serious travel, when you've
got to git across,
We jes' own up an say that there amt
nothin' like boss.

satfve matter to assume that Haas killed
himself. The possibility that he was slain
in his bed in the cell by one who feared
that he might not withstand the sweat
ing process he was yet to undergo is by
no means too remote for consideration.
Saturday night more than 5000 citizens
of San Francisco assembled in a mass
meeting to denounce the attack upon
Heney and to demand the vigorous prose
cution of the graft cases. The meeting
was addressed by Mayor Taylor and by
Rudolph Spreckels. who has been the
handspring of the civic reform movement.
This spectacle is significant of greatly
aroused public sentiment Taken in con-
junction with the mystery of Haas death
it may presage startling developments in
the coast metropolis. The efforts to re-
store the municipality to full health and
vigor through the enforcement of the
laws have reached crisis, and all friends
of good government throughout the coun-
try will watch the progress of the fight
with keen interest and concern.

The Liberals Sweep Cuba.

Saturdays election in Cuba was de-
cidedly one-sided The liberals carried
everything before them. A fear expressed
by liberal newspaper. that the con-
servatives would buy u.s." proved un-
founded. The conservatives may have
been short of money. or the liberals long
of virtue. 1t is likelier, however. that nc
such skullduggery was either meditated
or attempted. All appearances support
the claim that the result was obtained by
perfectly fair means. and represents the
uncOrrupted wishes of the people. Gov
Magoon's testimony is of itself very
valuable. Familiar with popular govern.
ment and elections under it at home, he
approved of this CUBAN performance ano
congratulated the people on it.
With the presidency and congress In
their possession the liberals now mus
show their hands They must fashion
ana inaugurate public policies. They woi
largely on personalities. But in offic.
they will face the necessity of providin,
for the country; and in Cuba that will
prove no small test.
This test is right at hand In a shor,
time the American officials and troops
will be Withdrawn from the island and
