District Attorney Heney.

The attempt to assassinate District
Attorney FRANCIS ]. Heney in a San
Francisco court room adds a new and
exciting chapter to the attempt of the
decent people of that great city to
purify it's political affairs and give it
general house cleaning. Fortunate
ly the bullet missed vital spot and
the Would-be assassin has promptly
saved California the expense of hang
ing him by shooting himself in his pris-
Oh cell where in some mysterious way
he secured a revolver. The San Fran
cisco warfare upon the Reuf Schmitz
regime has had many dramatic fea-
lures and has drawn the attention of
the whole country. District Attorney
Heney in his aggressive and unsparing
attacks upon the forces of graft and
corruption has naturally made many
enemies Probably no man upon the
Pacific coast ever had more or more
vcnomous enemies than he, but the
people of San Francisco and the whole
Pacific coast trust him and love him
better for the enemies he has made
Ieney is a man who could i'll be spar
ed upon the Pacific coast. He under
stands fully the conditions in San
Francisco and has the courage to lead
in the work Of securing relief and jus
tice for that graft cursed city. He is
an enthusiastic young reformer of the
Roosevelt type who arouses the en-
thusiasm of those associated with him
He is recognized as one of the coming
mon of the West and there have been
suggestions of late that he would be
the Western representative in the cabi-
net Of President Taft. 1t is not i'm
possible that this sensational attempt
to shoot him in the open court room
for his zeal in doing his duty will clear
the atmosphere and help him in his
work. Certainly the experiences
through which he is passing will bring
him and the story of his achievements
for civic righteousness more clearly be-
fore the country and bring him wider
and more general recognition than he
would otherwise have received.

There is prospect that this
&C untry will have an island state, not
through the admission of Hawaii or
Porto Rico to the sisterhood of states,
but through the cutting off of one of
the existing states by means of a
canal In other words, those behind
the movement for better waterway
along the Atlantic coast are proposing
a ship canal across Florida connecting
the Atlantic Ocean with the Gulf
Such canal would cut off 800 miles
OF navigation much of which is diff
ficult and dangerous. The proposed
canal would be 80 miles in length and
as its estimated cost is $5000Oo
there are plainly some difficulties to
overcome before the work is com
mcnccd. Just at present the country
will probably prefer to complete the
Panama canal before engaging in any
other great ventures Of a similar ma
turc.

The South is Seeing Light.

Something Of the way in which the
solid South is breaking away from the
folly of its old time prejudices is indi-
Gated by the fact that Taft was given
$1,000 votes in Georgia against 1000
for Roosevelt four years ago. The At
lanta Constitution. the leading paper
of Georgia. in speaking Of the election
results says that the Republican vic
tory was the product of the belief tnat
Democratic success would have shaken
commercial and financial stability" and
it declares that the southern states be
gan November . the writing of their
political Declaration of Independence
of the Constitutions Democracy or be
licVe that it is about to change its
politics. nut ii rojoiCes because those
who think differently have the courage
of their convictions ana because many
business ncn throughout Georgia and
the whole South turned their backs on
traditions that nave now Eecolne mean
inslcss and had the courage to support
the Republican candidates openly and
hopefully. Says the CONSTITUTIONS
What the South needs is a few doubt
full states 1t will then be in a position
to demand and get something in the
line OF legislation.' 1t goes on to say
that if the South is going to continue
soiidly Democratic 1T should do so
upon the merits of what the opposing
parties have to offer and not because
of ancestral dictation" These are
very significant utterances when we
consider that they come from the lead
ing Democratic paper of the South.

The Prison Ship Martyrs.

After three generations of neglect
for which it is hard to find any ex-
cuse, there has been a fitting memor
ial erected to the martyrs of the New
York prison ships. There were more
than 10000 American soldiers and
sailors who died in the British prison
ships at New York during the Revo-
luton and the splendid monument to
their memory unveiled with imposing
ceremonies in New York last week
and with a notable address by the
Presidentelec is but tardy recogni-
ton of the nations debt to their
heroism and sacrifice. 1t is doubtful
worse than those British prison ships.
A thousand or more prisoners were
crowded into hulks which could not
comfortably accommodate more than
three or four hundred, and there every
day scores of them died of starvation
or suffocation in darkness and intoler-
ably foul air, amid filth and vermin
uuSpeakab,e.
The conditions, to, be sure were not
much worse than those suffered by
our Northern soldiers in some of the
Southern prisons during the Civil War,
but such prison conditions as existed
then are happily never to be known
again in civilized warfare Thanks to
the quickening of the spirit of
humanity given concrete expression
through the Red Cross and the Hague
conferences, prisoners of war are not
likely to be given inhuman treatment
in the future In the latest great war,
that between Russia and Japan, there
was fearful slaughter in battle with
all its accompanying suffering, but
there was no inhuman treatment Of
prisoners. In this respect at least,
civilization has made appreciable pro-
gress, even in the cruel art of war.

The Farmer Feeds Them All.

The politician talks and talks
The actor plays his part,
The soldier glitters on parade,
The goldsmith plies his art
The scientist pufsues his germs
Ger this terrestrial ball.
The sailor navigates his ship,
But the farmer feeds them all.
The preacher pounds the pulpit desk,
The broker reads the tape.
The tailor cuts and sews his cloth,
To tit the human shape
The dame of fashion dressed in SILK
Goes forth to dine and call.
Or drive. or dance, on promenade,
But the farmer feeds them all.
The workman Yields his shining tools,
The merchant shows his wares,
The aeronaut above the clouds
A dizzy journey dares;
But art and science soon would fade,
And commerce dead would fall
II the farmer ceased to reap and SOW,
For the farmer feeds them all.
