NO MORE BRIBERY BY
THE BIG CORPORATIONS
Fresno Republican

One thing at least the long struggle
eliminating in the Calhoun trial has
accomplished. There will be no more
franchise bribing in San Francisco for
long time to come. Other character
less officials may be elected, for the
people grow careless and forget, and
these characterless officials may take
all the dishonest money they can get
But from one source, and that hitherto
the most important, they will not get
1t. The public service corporations will
do no more bribing. The bribe giver
may not have the moral insight to see
that the thing is wrong, but he has
the intellectual insight to know when
1t is dangerous. Hitherto it has not
been dangerous. But now it is. r.
respective of the final outcome Of the
case, no man cares to risk going
through what Patrick Calhoun has al
ready been through for any possible
business advantage. That is the reason
for going after the bride givers.

MENACE TO FREEDOM AND
MENACE TO PEACE
Stockton Record

Whether Calhoun is or is not put in
prison would not greatly concern the
people, if his personality could be df-
vorced from what is really at issue,
namely, the effectiveness of the law;
but ii can not.
And, assuming for the purpose of
argument, the possibility that Calhoun
did not bride the supervisors his re-
fusal to offer any evidence to that
effect when it is perfectly obvious that
IL he was not guilty he could easily
demonstrate it, compels the conclusion
by the lay public that the law has been
Ineffective: that because of Calhoun 8
wealth and his wrongful use of it, be-
cause of class influence. because large
proportion of the businessmen of San
Francisco have set money above pa
triotism and right and justice, that the
law is unable to reach him as it would
had the defendant belonged to the
middle class.
This conclusion by the public is to
be deplored, for it is a menace to free
government and menace to peace.

DANGER IN CRY FOR
END OF PROSECUTIONS
Grass Valley Union

The greatest danger comes from the
fact that the people and papers favor
able to Calhoun and the corrupt former
officials of the city will make every at
tempt to discourage and prevent fur
Their prosecutions and in fact they have
already commenced the urging of an
abandonment of the cases.
The plea has been advanced by them
that prosecution can not result in con-
viction and that 1t is needless waste
of money. Such argument is specious.
1t is as foolish as to say that because
a man shoots at and misses a fleeing
burglar that he should not buy ammu
milton to be prepared for the return
of that one or the coming of others.
If these indicted men are not con-
victed and punished 1t means the bond
ing of the city of San Francisco and

poration magnates and the exploiting
of them through the methods which

UNwIELDY SYSTEM
OF THE LAW MADE CLEAR
Modesto Newa

Out sf all the hurry burly and hubbub
of the graft prosecution in San Francisco
one thing stands out very clearly and
will not be hidden. That is tNe un-
wieldy system of the law which has
grown up in this country, which is re-
sponsible for such long trials. After
ordering the discharge of the jury Judge
Lawlor drew his chair to the edge of
the platform nearest the jury box and
addressed the II men in few informal
remarks, criticising severely the laws
and usages that made possible the ex-
penditure of three months in the en-.
parchment of a jury.

BUT ADDS TO STRENGTH
OF SAMSON OF PUBLIC WILL
San Luis Obispo Telegram

If the tacit defeat of the people in
the case of Patrick Calhoun spreads
alarm among truly patriotic people. it
gives hope and courage to those to
become lost in class consciousness. The
seriousness of the situation can not be
overestimated. The Daily Telegram de-
plores but can not ignore it. Men of the
Calhoun type are by their contempt for
and exemption from law adding daily
to the strength of the Samson of public
will, who threatens to pull down the
pillars of the temple which our fore
fathers thought to stand forever. Moth
ing can prevent this except sudden
vitalizing of the law.
