4 CLEAN the following:
"A Useful information for criminal
politicians and political criminals is
contained in the announcement that a
man who has been active in the politics
of the fourteenth ward has been sent to
the penitentiary for five years for
obtaining money from keepers of disor-
derby houses under the false pretense
that he could procure police protection
for them. The organization has been
reputed to get some of its campaign
funds by this process, but very small
politicians without much pull who
pocket the money they get out of the
purveyors of vice are inviting trouble

They must have peculiar laws in
Pennsylvania if it is possible in that
state to send man to prison simply
because he obtained money from keep
ers of disorderly houses under the pre-
tense, false or otherwise, that he could
procure police protection for them. We
don't seem to have such law in Cali
fornia, if the court decision of the past
week is worth the paper on which it is

THE WALL STREET UPSET

A few years ago financial panic such
as that which now prevails In New York
would have thrown the whole country
into a fit of the doldrums BY way of
contrast we now read reports from Phia-
delphia, Chicago, st. Louis, Cleveland and
dozen other large and small financial
centers which indicate strength and So
berness and ability to weather any sort
of storm. For years the strong, conserv-
alive financial papers in New York, like
the Evening Post, the Wall Street Jour
nal and others, have inveighed against
the exploitation of the banks and trust
companies of New York by the Wall
street crowd and the prostitution of these
institutions to schemes to rig the mar
ket. The handwriting on the wall has
been SO plain, its warning so little heed
cd, that there ought not to be much sur
prise that catastrophe has come at last.
But 1t is reassuring to note the very gem
eral conviction that Wall street and hon
est-going financial concerns will be all
the better OFF eventually for the house,
claiming which is now under way.-Bal

CORRESPONDENCE.
Could Someone Have lied?

The issue Of May 80 of the Cald-
well Tribune contained an article re-
garding the right of way of the 8. F.,
1. G M. R. r., which is of interest
more as an example of someone's
inventive ability than for any truth
1t might convey to the people. Could
the matter have been misrepresented
to the Tribune reporter?
Is it strange that Col. Place should
meet with opposition? l dare say it
is: railroad buffers generally get
what they want, and when and where
they want it. The American people
have built railroads and then have
paid high rates to ride and to ship
on them for many years. 1t does
seem rather unreasonable for sage
brushers to want an impoverished
railroad company to pay for its right
of way.
Sagebrushers Rhodes and Rowland
have received no offers from the rail-
road company. Their right to the
land has not been acknowledged by
the company and Col. Place made no
offer of arbitration with any fair
ness. He brought out a lot of land
sharks from Caldwell who berated
the sagebrushers for presuming to
want damages from SO fine concern
as r. R. company. He was the
R. R. Cos pick as a member Of
board of arbitration, but after hear
ing his views, the sagemen decided
he wouldn't do as one of the arbi-
traitors. They know they sin by
holding land R. R. wants, and hav-
MT the money to pay damages to the
R. R. company as the Caldwell land
agent suggested would be the right
thing.
Mr.. Olsen's conscience has been
troubling him of late, for taking
fifty dollars from the company. We
understand he will give Mr.. Place a
rebate If he will come out.

building Of the Golden Gate route
from Caldwell to Winnemucca will

the merchants of that portion of Ida

The completion of the road means
much to northern Humboldt and Ida

will pass through here, besides fur
nishing better facilities for the trans

A Jury of Women.

According to the New York Times,
Denver is, appropriately, the first city
In the Union to have lawsuit tried
before petit jury composed entirely
of women, as Denver is the metropo-
lis Of Colorado, state which permits
women to vote. The first Jury of
women sat thru the conflicting tes-
timony of noteworthy suit and rem
dered a memorable verdict. 1t should
establish precedent in such cases,
but, alas! with jury composed of
Ignorant men the point will be always
confused.
Every woman knows that when
her own dress does not At 1t is the
dressmaker's fault. Every woman al
so knows that when another woman's
dress does not fit the fault ia her fig
ure. The twelve women in the Dem
yer suit decided, with their Unborn
knowledge Of such things, that the
dressmaker defendant was not to
blame. The dress was all right. Its
mt was perfect. Clearly the PLAINTIFFS
figure was at fault. How could a
woman with that figure expect any
dress to look well ON her? This was
a point on which the twelve could
agree amicably. The verdict would
have been the same. too, If any one
OF the jurywomen had been plaintiff
and the plaintiff on the jury.
To mere men this way of getting
at verdict by intuition will not seem
fair. But what jury of men knows
whether or not woman's dress Ia
a good At? What lawyer knows?
What laws avail In this matter? The
Colorado woman jury, as We have
said, has established a precedent
which ought to be studied and OBJ
served.
