The Calhoun Trial.

The craft prosecutions in San Fran
cisco have now reached their most inter-
esting stage. At the bar for trial is
man of distinguished ancestry, OF the
highest social and business position, and
with a record of success In large analrs.
Patrick Calhoun has enjoyed all the op-
portunities that wealth and family PRIDE
can bestow. His education has been
thorough and his training of the best
His attorneys represent high grade OF
legal ability. He will want for nothing.
therefore. in the line of defense that
money and prestige command
The state. in moving against Mr.. Cal
foun, goes to the other end OF the line
Of men under charges. IT started with
the mayor of San Francisco and Abe
Ruef The one was a strolling fiddler
whose talents for other things induced
him to hang up his instrument and the
bow He developed a gift for political
organization on parochial scale. and
soon reaped reward by election as mayor
of the CITY, Then the beggar on horse
back began to ride. He reached out with
both hands, and filled his pockets with
all the Doodle offered. He landed in jail
under conviction. but was lucky on tech
nicalities raised by his lawyers.
Ruef had been the mayors crony and
adviser. A shyster with shrewdness and
great nerve" he shared literally in all
the foul money he helped to steer toward
dishonest officials. and turned up in the
end even richer than the richest of them
He lived in clover while the graft con-

JAIL He had nothing to sustain him a.
any stage of the game after exposure but
the services of his attorneys and the CO.
operation of his few remaining friends.
Between these two fellows and Mr.. Cal
houn is a wide difference, socially anc
intellectually. In the cases of the mayor
and Ruef the appeal was narrow. Thei1
prosperity had in the circumstances ex
cited suspicion. and the public was pre-
pared for the developments of their trials
And the public warmly approved o.
the verdicts of guilty. But Mr.
Calhoun may be expected TO Draw

On the other hand, the prosecution nav

Texas and Prohibition.
A dispatch from Dallas:

I'm a letter given to the newspapers
tonight. United States Senator Bailey
appeals to the Texas Legislature to
obey the demand of the democratic
platform and submit to a vote of tho
people of Texas a liquor prohibition
amendment to the constitution of the
state.
IF this is not done Senator Bailey
predicts harm to the party and that
the prohibition question will be kept
in politics to the exclusion of every
important matter.
He says he will vote against the
amendment IL 1t Is submitted
points. Party promises should be re-
deemed in letter and spirit. Where
they are repudiated or trified with
after election, not only is the party
injured, but public confidence in party
government is shaken. Some persons
are unable to account for the wide
spread distrust Of politicians. Much OF
il proceeds from the means often EN-.
pIoyed to win victories, and the means
employed afterward to disappoint the
victors. The man who described plat
forms as things to get in on" perpe'
trated a witty cynicism Of a far toe
frequent application.
1t is true. too. that where an issue
is trifled with in this way its power ii
increased. It's friends employ the cir
cumstance in it's favor. They demand
a square deal for it, and those who
have been lukewarm, either in sup
mort or opposition. become sympatheti.
and even actively friendly. Shar:
practice, as a rule, defeats itself. TIL

Rockefeller.

Mr.. Rockefeller's Ohio physician pre-
diets that the oil king will live TO see
the century mark. He gives these rea-
sons:
First, he avoids all worry; second. he
takes plenty of exercise in the open air;
third. he never overloads his stomach
and always gets up from the table lit
tie hungry If men would follow Mr..
Rockefeller's physical methods we would
all be young at seventy.
But q good many men Mr.. Rockefeller
has met have not been able to follow this
course. He has made it impossible for
them to avoid all worry. And many who
have sat down with him at business
meal have risen not only hungry, but
empty. Overlooking their stomachs was
impossible Even in the matter of lon
sevity Mr. Rockefeller is a sort of monop-
olist, making it impossible, as it were, fol-
others to compete with him. 4,

A Promising Child.

printed in review of the sailors career
and in extenuation of his failure to re-
trieve the Russian fortunes by his III
fated sea venture. These observations
were just as correct and opposite as
though in truth it was the admiral In
stead of the barber Rojestvensky VINO
had passed away. Now it Is badly
stated in st. Petersburg that the admiral
is dead. When the fact is established
beyond question it will be in order for
those estimates to be repeated, at least
by reference. Admiral Rojestvensky' S
part in the war between Russia and Japan
was of such significance that 1t calls
for note at his death, even though the
mistake of the cables did cause passing
embarrassment on the former occasion.

A Backward Step.
From the Springfield Republican.

In restoring capital punishment under
the guillotine France goes backward some
years, and in letting the executions be
made a public spectacle it goes back a
century and more. The dispatches speak
of the effect upon the crowds present as
the most horrible feature Of the behead-
ings at Bethune. and we cannot doubt
that the effect is most brutalizing.

A Written Opinion.

A portly and pOmpous man once held
q commission as brigadier general of
militia and n license to practice law.
neither of which he had much occa-
sion to use. He finally had a case be-
fore the supreme court and proudly
hoped to see his name in the reports
as counsel for the plaintiff above 4
long and elaborate opinion of the court.
When his case was called on opinion
day he was enraged to hear the SIM
pie announcement from the bench, "Af-
firmed."
After the court adjourned he went to
Judge Mckinney, whom he knew well,
and said, Judge. I thought that the
supreme court at least would obey the
law"
"Wherein has the court failed?'
asked the judge.
"The law requires that q written
opinion be delivered in every case this
court tries. and none was delivered in
this case"
The judge had the rolled record
brought to him and glanced at the bot
tom of the page. Placing his finger
on the Authorization "Aff'd," he said
to the ambitious general: "See there!
'Aff'd.' Isn't that written opinion|'

Homeopathic Doctors Decide to Tell
Facts for Good of the
Country.

Detroit, June 26.-The American In
stitute of Homeopathy yesterday adop-
ted an amendment to its code of ethics
releasing physicians from professional
secrecy regarding the private affairs
of patients or their families where
such secrecy or silence may result in
the injury or infection of innocent per-
sons.
The institute also went on record
as advocating the formation of an in
dependent national association of elm
ical research, which shall invite and
receive into membership without dis
turbance of present affiliations the
American Homeopathic institute,
American Medical society, Eclectic
Medical association, state medical so
cieties, college faculties and the hos
pital stats of the army, navy and
marine service.
The 1910 convention of the American
Institute of Homeopathy will be held
in southern California This selection
is understood to mean that Los Ange-
les will be the city of meeting. The
institute concluded its sessions here
yesterday
