 There are many thousand Idle men today who would ge at work if the railroads could get the money to build new lines and doubletrack the old ones. It is idle to say that the roads perity carrying freight at their own price and should have plenty of money. That Is true. The railroads should have money plenty of it. So nearly all of us have had ten years of unequaIled prosperity and we ought all to have money put away, plenty of it. for hard times. But have we done any better than the railroads? Not bit.

Government Ownership in Japan.

PhlIadeIphla Record.
 The Japanese experiment of govern ment ownership and operation of rail- ways has not thus far proved either advantageous or satisfactory. There has been deterioration without any cheapening of rates. There is great congestion of goods, at receiving sta ttons and consequent uncertainty of deliveries. Already a movement has prominent financiers and railroad ex- perts, to relieve the government of a function which has proved only a source of disappointment and embar- management of the railways to private corporations"

The Supreme Court of the United States is composed of nine members. Four wear heavy boards. four wear no boards at all and the ninth splits the difference by wearing his beard very closely cropped. We suppose that one would be called on to act as umpire in dispute as to the propriety of bearded or smooth faces.

yesterday to Thomas F. Dolan, fire.
man employed by the state harbor
commission and member of the San
Francisco republican county COM
mittee.
Herrin has ordered that his plot to
steal the republican county committee
be consummated tonight at a runp
meeting called by Secretary Charles
H. Forbes under color of a demand
for a meeting signed by all the Herrin
understrappers on the committee and
two or three weak sisters. To in
sure the presence of a quorum. the
Herrin men have not stopped at prom
ises. The machinery of the state gov
ernment has been invoked to coerce an
unwilling committeeman into partici-
patton in an attempt at political
brigandage without parallel even in
the annals Of Herrin's domination OF
the republican party.
Thomas F. Dolan was told yesterday
that he must help insure the presence
of a quorum at the rump meeting called
by Secretary Forbes for tonight or
lose his place under the harbor COM
mission. The threat was not made in
roundabout manner. DoIan was
summoned into the presence of a mem
Der of the commission and told that
he must surrender his manhood or lose
his job.
FORBES PLANS MEETING
Confident that the attendance OF at
/ least 19 members Of the county COM
mittee could be secured to give rump
meeting and its work a de facto char
acter, Herrin. has ordered that the Job
to oust Chairman +. II. Dam and to
place the affairs of the county COM
mittee in the hands of a so called
Eexecutive committee be put through
| tonight.
There has been no call for tonights
meeting. Secretary Charles Forbes, the
I beneficiary of a salary from an unex-
planned source, secured last week the
necessary nineteenth signature to a de-
mand upon Chairman Dam for a meet
ing TO be held tonight.
Immediately after serving Dam with

sued notices of a meeting in the form
of letter 10 the members Of the COM
mittee. in which he stated that a de-
nnand had been made; that IL might be

would be complied with. and that q
meeting would be held tonight in the
Pacific building.

Novelist Writes Terrible Ar
rafgnmenf of Russian Ruler
and His Cruel Agents

LONDON, July 14-Drtven to fever
of anger, indignation and despair by
the awful nassacres on the hanEman's
scaHold which are now sweeping over
Russia, Count Leo Tolstoi has written
the most terrible arraignment of the
cZar and his agents Of execution that
ever came from the great novelist's
pen.
He has sent it by careful hands to
London, to be forwarded for publica-
tion in the hope that through the force
of public Indignation the slaughter
by the Russian executioners may be
arrested The article is entitled "I
Cannot Be Silent"
He says, in concluding his letter:
1T is impossible to live so. I, at any
rate, cannot and will not live so. That
is why I write this and will circulate
it by all means in my power, both in
Russia and abroad, that one of two
things may happen-either that these
inhuman deeds may be stopped or that
my connection with them NAV be
snapped and I put in prison, where I
may be clearly conscious that these
horrors are not committed on nv be-
half, or, still better-so good that I
dare not even dream of such happiness
they may put on me. as on those
peasants, a shroud and a cap, and NAV
push me also off a bench, so that by
my own weight may tighten the we'll
soaped moose around my old throat.
Yes, consider it, all of you, from the
highest TO lowest accomplices In mur-
der, consider who you are and cease to
do what you are doing. Cease, not for
your own sake, not for the sake of
your own personality, not for the. sake
of men, not that you may cease to be
blamed, but for your souls sake and
for the God who lives within you"
