THAT of the people. 1t will be the fault
of men in high standing in the COM
munity, men of wealth, men who be-
lieve themselves to be honest. 1t will
be the fault of business men who think
il is a crime for city official to force
a saloon to buy whisky from the con-
Germ in which that official is interested,
but who see no wrong in a transaction
by which a business man gets a
valuable franchise by bribing those
same corrupt officials OF course not
all of San Francisco's business men are
engaged in this campaign to defeat
Ijustice-but practically all the men in
the conspiracy are business men.
If San Francisco's conscience is still
ed to sleep by the campaign now be-
ing waged by the criminal rich and
their defenders. if the prosecution Of
the grating criminals fails because of
this campaign-then the cause of NUM-
cipal honesty in America will be given
a blow from which it cannot recover
in years. But if the people of San
Francisco listen to that conscience
which is still speaking, if they will
send a few criminal politicians and a
few criminal business men to prison
then American cities will look to San
Francisco as a leader. 1t is for San
Franciscans to say.

was paid huge fee for the service
and is reapng the financial rewards
usual in such cases.
Two other men have also done some
thing for San Francisco, one of them,
Rudolph Spreckels, has furnished the
money to carry on the prosecution of
the grafters. His motives are attack
ed. and Mr.. Calhoun declares with pas
sion that he is being prosecuted by
SpreckelS out of personal malice. The
other servant of the city who has done
much is Francis J. Heney. He has
worked two years as the chief prose-
cutor of the graft cases without pay
and without hope of financial reward.
The services of Heney and Spreckels
are not mentioned in those financial
Circles where BUSINESS IS sacred.
When Heney first undertook the
prosecution he warned Spreckels that
all these things would result. He pre-
dicted that when the prosecution failed
TO stop with the labor union eulprits
and went higher up that they would
find men of wealth and social position
arrayed against them, that enmity
would be engendered. that assassina-
ton itself was to be feared. Spreckels
did not turn back. He had tried to
form a committee of wealthy men to
back the prosecution but he was I'M
successful. so he put up the first $780,
900 himself Heney went to work. Will
liam J. Burns, secret service detec-
tive, went out and got the evidence.
The guilt of the grafters and the brib-
ers has been proved over and over
again, but the convictions are not to
be had.
The situation in San Francisco to-
day is fraught with great danger to
the city and to other municipalities in
the nation. When the grating was
brought to light men said. Look
what a labor union set of officials did
But now the thing has changed The
majority of the people of this city be-
lieve the guilty ought to be punished
whoever they are. and they have said
so at the polls. But if the guilty are
not punished, if the grafters and the
bribers go free. whose fault will it be?
Not that of the labor unions. Not

THOUGHT ARREST IMMINENT
Officer Questioned Him Concerning a
 Forgery % That's It IIl Settle N It. SH AauthaI as He Fired.

Ft SmithA4Thinking the officer, to whom he had been te, liking, was about to place him under arfest, man who has since been identified as W. B. Wauthal of Muskogee, Okiss placed a pistol to his head and killed himself late Tuesday afternoon. The tragedy occurred on the main street of Fort Smith and drew an immense crowd. The officer simply questioned Wau- thai and had not served warrant on him. His questions related to the identity of a man wanted at Muskogee E for forgery.
 If that is it." exclaimed Wau1thal, 'sthis will soon settle it." and drawing a pistol, he fired the fatal shot. Death resulted within few minutes, as the bullet penetrated the brain and lodged under the left eye.
 On the body of the dead man was found note addressed to his brother, but with no name given. In this note the dead man provided for division of his property and made it as sort of power of attorney for the brother to wind up his estate. A bank book of the First National bank of Musko- gee was also found in his possession and several checks had been drawn. Waulthal was well dressed and had considerable money in his possession at the time of his death. While no direct charge is made against the man here, it is thought he is wanted in Muskogee and it vas fear of being arrested that caused him to take his own life

Accor- ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any facilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time.
 It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as laxative, and it's component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection able substances. To get it's beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading drug gists.

A party of tourists was being shown around Ciudad JuareZ, the little Mexi- can town just across the Rio Grande from Fl Paso, Texas. Every one was delighted with it's picturesqueness and in particular maiden lady, who went into raptures about each new sight.
 Tt is all so quaint" she said. These adobe houses, the old church, the mar, row streets, the little plaza, those dreadful-looking men wearing son. breros; everything breathes the spir- it of an old-world civilization. It is so different from our United States"
 That's so," asseEted New York man who had been listening. For instance, where in all the world could you find anything so antique, so full of inherent beauty, so charged, as it were, with the essence of pure joy, as that sign over there" He pointed toward whitewashed mud house on whose exterior was painted:
