SCHMITZ ASKS RELEASE
Mayor Schmftz Makes Move to Get
Out of Jail.


San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 11.-Ap-
plication for release on bail of Eugene
Schmitz, who has been confined in
the county jail for eight months, was
made to Superior Judge Dunno this
morning by Attorney Frank Drew OF
counsel for the former mayor. At the
request of Assistant District Attorney
William Hoff Cook, who declared that
he had not been advised of the inten-
ton of the defendant to ask for bail
until late last night and on account of
the absence from the city of the Dis
trict Attorney Langston, Judge Dunno
postponed the matter until Monday
morning. This was the first move
made by the former mayor to take
advantage of the reversal of the APP
pellate court, which in effect declared
on Wednesday that he was illegally
convicted of extortion, holding that no
crime had been committed and that
Judge Dunno had been unfair in his
rulings and made numerous errors.

GOES NOT HERE.
Bond of BeIIigerent Ball Player Is
Forfeited Today.

The bond of $500 which was given
by Herman Crow for the appearances
of Eddie Goes in the district court was
declared forfeited this morning owing
to the failure of Goes to appear in
court. However, if Goes appears by
Monday the forfeiture of the bond
will be waived.
Goes will be remembered as the
Oklahoma City baseball player, who in
a game on the local baseball grounds,
August 2, wilfully assaulted Umpire
Guthrie, who was already in a badly
mutilated state. The assault as far as
Goes was concerned was altogether
unprovoked and was at best a dirty
piece of work.
Goes was arrested at the time and
was released on bail until the latter
part of August when he was again
in Topeka. At this time he pleaded
guilty before Judge Simon in the
court of Topeka and was given a fine
of one hundred dollars and thirty days
in jail.
The sentence came as somewhat Of
a surprise to Goes and he did not par
ticularly relish the jail end of the sem
tence. After a conference with his
lawyer, Judge Simon allowed Goes to
withdraw his plea of guilty and Goes
entered a plea of not guilty but re-
ceived the same sentence. The case
was appealed to the district court,
where the case was called today. Goes
not being present his bond was de-
clared forfeited. Goes is wintering in
Springfield Mo, and a recent letter
received from him in that city stated
that he would be here.

MCKINLEY AND GOLD

THAT Grover Cleveland was respon-
sible for the conversion of Will
II liam Mckinley to "sound money"
is reasonably certain. Over his atti-
tude on the money question Mckinley
hesitated until the last minute. Mr.
Cleveland was already advocating gold
when Major Mckinley was reluctant
to commit himself When correspond
ents at Canton, o., were arguing and
pleading with Major Mckinley, urging
him to come off the fence and declare
himself, and when Mckinley was tell
ing his friends and the correspondents
that they would find all his views in
his old speeches, from which they were
welcome to quote, Cleveland had al
ready made up his mind and taken
his attitude. Mckinley heard that
Cleveland and Whitney were preparing
to form "sound money party" TO be
of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, and after a consultation with
Hanna, Dick and others, the Ohio ma
jor decided to take the plunge which
made him famous. After that he was
the answering friend of gold.

SAYS SUPPRESSION WILL
MAKE MARTYRS OF AGITAToRs

LOS ANGELES, June 25.-lEditor
Herald; This country has had to meet
many grave problems in the past; 1t
has been confronted with numerous
dangers and has narrowly escaped
shipwreck on many treacherous shoals,
but 1t seems to me that it has never
been confronted with a problem as
great or a danger that can compare IN
magnitude with the one that appears
to threaten it now. I refer to the tide
of Socialism that is rising with such
alarming rapidity and which threatens,
unless at once checked, to sweep away
all the customs and laws that nave en-
abled us to take first place among the
nations of the earth. 1t seems to me
that we who have the real welfare or
our country at heart should drop all
lesser differences and do all within our
mower to prevent the further spread OF
this social disease. Born in foreign
land, it is of necessity un-American and
could never have found root here IL this
country had not first been flooded with
aliens. Once established, it has spread
rapidly among the ignorant and lazy,
who willingly listen to the speclous ar
g,1ments of professional agitators. This
ia no ordinary peril that threatens us,
and it must be met in an intelligent
manner. Attempts at violent suppress
sion will only enable the Socialists to
pose as martyrs, and so aid their cause.
No: we must answer them with argu-
ment, not abuse; but first of all we
must check this vast accumulation or
wealth and power in the hands of a
few, and we must show the people that
there is indeed only one law for rich
and poor alike, and that jails are ,oullt
as much for the millionaire law breaker
as for the pauper. Unless this is done
at once, all attempts to check the
growth of the Socialist movement will
certainly prove futile or

PROGRESSIVE OREGON


ONE of the most progressive papers
ID in the United States, representing
~ one of the most progressive
states in the Union, is the Oregonian.
Despite the fact that it's contempt
raries scold 1t, they cannot help &C
knowledging that newspapers in other
parts of the country look to it for
expressions of public sentiment in Ore
gon." They have learned by expert
ence that it's expressions of public sem
timent in Oregon generally are accu-
rate Oregon is as well up in the pro-
cession as is the Oregonian. This Is
the state which has adopted the direct
election of United States senators
while other states were still talking
about making the experiment, and 1t
has given a striking and convincing
demonstration of the justice of the
plan. Although fifty-one legislators
Out of fifty-two were elected On the
Republican ticket, they were pledged
to vote for the candidate receiving the
highest number of votes, irrespective
of party. Therefore they are pledged
to the election of Chamberlain.
