CALHOUN'S GUILT IS
DOUBTED BY NO ONE
sacramento Beel

Whether Patrick Calhoun legally can
be convicted in the present trial is not
a question to be discussed here and
now. But there is no doubt on the
part of any well informed person as to
his moral guilt. No intelligent reader
of the history of the graft cases in
San Francisco can have the least doubt
that the board of supervisors was
bribed to grant the trolley franchise to
the United Railroads, and that the
money for the purpose was paid by the
direction or with the eonnivance and
guilty knowledge of Patrick Calhoun,
the president of that corporation.
Every sensible man must realize that
no such sum as 100000 is ever secretly
paid out of the treasury of a corpora
ton for corrupt purposes without the
order or approval of the responsible
head of that corporation. And when
the bribery in question was committed,
Patrick Calhoun was, as now, the presi-
dent of the United Railroads.

gentleman just returned from San
francisco was asked a few questions
by the Register concerning the attitude
of the people of that city so far as he
had occasion to observe, on the recent
sensational proceedings in connection
with the graft cases and what the gem
eral feeling was with regard TO the
prosecution. He said that from the dis
cussions heard in hotel lobbies. waiting
rooms and other public places it was
evident that the great preponderance of
sentiment is with the prosecution, and
the raid on the offices of the United
Railroads and their attorneys is gener-
ally justified, whether or not It was
technically illegal, because it yielded
the results looked for.
This is hopeful condition of affairs,
for it is we'll known that not only are
there publications employed to create
and nurture an unhealthy condition of
the public mind and a distorted moral
view of the whole matter, but individ-
uals are hired or otherwise influenced
to go about assailing the prosecution
and endeavoring to create sentiment
favorable to the defense.

Duel Led to Organization

A students society in Erlangen, in
Bavaria, known as the Pfarrerstochter
'(the pastors daughter) has very cur
ious origin. 1t has been in existence
for over 45 years. 1t seems that nearly
half century ago. the then pastor
had a very beautiful daughter whose
hand was sought by two students. They
pressed their suit with such vigor that
friends on each side entered into the
cause. The only effect of the inter-
vention was to cause strife between
themselves. that is. the two opposing
camps. At last the two aspirants
fought duel. Two shots were fired
without effect Then came an unex-
pected solution of the difficulty; the
young lady married a stranger to the
rivals They then were reeonciled, and
the friends of the cause followed the
example Of the principals and consti-
tuted themselves into a students So
ciety. Recently for some unexplained
reason. the ecclesiastical authorities
wished to dissolve the society but were

HIGHER UPS MONEY
IS LAVISHLY USED
(GoIdneld Daily Tribune,

The action of Patrick Calhoun. if
true as alleged in dispa tches from the
Golden gate, is tantamount to a con-
fession of guilt. That money is be-
ing used without stint appears from
the circumstances that the alleged ring
that has ruled San Francisco with an
iron hand IS able to corrupt even the
confidential agents of the prosecution.
There can not be any hesitation in
playing the desperate game that has
occupied the courts for two years, and
in spite of the conviction and removal
of one after another of the arch crimi-
nails the state insists upon going
through to the bitter end of the ordeal.
Nothing short of the conviction and
imprisonment of the capitalistic lead
ers will satisfy the implacable Heney
or the relentless Burns, and it would
seem that they are approaching the
goal of their ambition very rapidly
With the confessions of the humble
tools of the conspirators the way is
paved for grand climax that will
complete the municipal house cleaning.

PUBLIC ASKED TO PITY
CALHOUN'S SORROW
lstockton Eyening Maln

Pity the sorrows of poor Patrick CAL
houn, That scion of southern aristoc-
racy has been subjected to an unspeak-
able outrage
AS If it were not enough that his
genteel occupation of buying super
visors for more than they were worth
should have been rudely interfered
with. he has now been made the victim
of vulgar search of his private effects,
among which had been concealed prop
erty stolen from the graft prosecution.
Things have certainly come to a
pretty pass in this country when a
high toned thief can be made an object
of public contumely by means of a
search warrant. No wonder the chiv-
alric blood of a Calhoun boils at the
thought.

PLAY FOR SYMPATHY
IS WASTE OF TIME
Jacksonville Regisfcr)

The question of Calhoun's guilt or
Innocence, so far as his punishment or
eXoneration is concerned. is a matter
that rests entirely with the courts,
which, we trust, are able and willing
TO determine the issue. At the same
time Mr. Calhoun should know that
his plea for public sympathy will fall
upon deaf ears. In searching his pri-
vate papers the officers merely did their
duty. If they found anything TO in
criminate Mr.. Calhoun or any of his
employees he has only himself to blame.
The discriminating public has no sym
pathy to waste upon him. 1t is con-
cerned only in seeing justice done. If
Mr.. Calhoun's guilt should be proven
TO the satisfaction of the Judge and
jury that viii try his case he is en-
titled to no more consideration than is
accorded the man who picks a pocket

REVELATIONS SHOW
CALHOUN "BLUFFING"
lTnIare DAILY RegIsterl

The sensational revelations connected
with the graft prosecution in San Fran
cisco are of extraordinary interest
They not only disclose the desperate
straits of the defense, but put the un-
mistakable stamp OF hypocrisy on the
blufffng declaration that all that Calhoun
wanted was a speedy and a fair trial
They demonstrate beyond excuse for
further doubt to those who have been
inclined toward a belief in this declara-
tion that unlawful and most despicable
practices have been and are being en-
ployed to obstruct the course of Justice.
The dreadful history of these prosecu-
tons is that of series of crimes to
hide other crimes-kidnaplng. dynamit-
ing, attempted assassination, suicide,
bribery of witnesses and jurors. lying,

DUTY OF ALL TO AID
GRAFT PROSECUTION
(sfockton Record)

With such conspiracy organized to
defeat justice as has been now ex-
posed in San Francisco, it is every
mans duty to get squarely behind the
graft prosecution and give it every
assistance and encoura ragement 1t is
everybody's business. Tt is high time
that the people of the state take such
a stand as will put an end once and for
all to the wholesale commission OF
crimes in the aid of Patrick Calhouns
defense. The time for entertaining
any doubt as to his moral and legal
guilt is passed. He has proved his
guilt In hundred ways. Every day
that his actual entrance into prison is
delayed makes possible and probable
the elimination of fresh plots to mur-
der the peoples officers, 70 bribe jur-
ors, to steal the peoples papers
ment-this absolute proof that Cal
have been stealing papers from the dis
trict attorneys Office for months. Re-
member, that the district attorney is
the man who represents the people of
California And all the time Calhoun
has been declaring that all he wants is
a fair trial; that he demands a speedy
trial. that he seeks JUSTICE that he is
being prosecuted. The worst of it is
that many men of wealth, social posi-
tion and standing in business in San
Francisco have given support and en-
couragement to the grafters. These
citizens have been enemies of the peo-
pie; they are worse than anarchists.
