Nor can the agreement made in
February to pay sum in excess of
$40 be sustained as a compromise of a
doubtful claim, as a compromise i'm

was no concession whatever made by
plaintiff, furthermore it appears that the
real object of the agreement of Febru-

ment of the amount of the check drawn
upon the bank that had failed
Plaintiff also seeks to maintain the
validity to the full extent of this

Died of Miners
Consumption

The many friends and acquaintances
of William John Corin will be panied
to hear that he succumbed to that
dread plague, miners consumption, last
week in San Francisco. Deceased
worked in different mines in Amador
county, the last being the Fremont near
Drytown. Last Christmas, being in
poor health, he went to San Francisco
to visit his brother Charles Corn, and
while there consulted a doctor in regard
to his health. After an examination the
physician told him not to return to
underground work, as the disease so
fatal to the miners had made a serious
inroad upon his constitution. He there
fore remained in the city with his
brothers. family, and was buried in the
cemetery of that city. He was a native
of Cornwall England, aged 46 years.

Proves Worthy Of Probation


Clarence Walker, the first defendant
allowed to go on probation by. order of
the superior court of this county, is
strictly abiding by the terms of his pro-
baton. He has worked steadily in the
Kennedy mine since the court order was
made. Not only has he paid out OF his
earnings the costs incurred by the pro-
secution in his case, but also paid the
price of the steer killed to the owner
thereof Besides this he has accumu-
lated a reserve in the bank, The first
experience in the application of the
probation law has certainly worked
charmingly both from a moral and
financial viewpoint.

A GREAT FINANCIER

q ONE Of the people of Rhode Island
- are asking where Senator Aldrich
~ got it. They must be a stupid
lot in Rhode Island. 1t is a matter Of
simple arithmetic calculation.
Senator Aldrieh entered the common
council of Providence in 1871 a poor
man. Since then he has been continu-
ously in politics as member of council,
state Legislature, lower house of con-
gress and senate. His salary as sena-
tor is $500. He is now estimated to
be worth $1O,OO0,O00.
We will say his average salary for
the thirty years has been $4,000 per
annum. Out of that he has saved, by
the practice of frugality and strict
economy, 100000 per annum. This sum
multiplied by thirty (the number of
years. makes the approximate ten mil
lions.
Brought into totals, Mr.. Aldrich's
probable salary for the thirty years has
aggregated $12O, 900. Out of that sum
he has saved $4,000, 900.
Early this year, in a public speech
Mr.. Taft eulogized Mr.. Aldrich as
great authority on finance. The praise
was worthily bestowed.

HOW TO PREVENT STRIKES

Editor Herald: While the whole
business community is to a great ex-
tent being demoralized by strikes, it
seems to me that a view showing
when strikes are wise and when un-
wise might be profitably taken. A
strike is wise when it is taken against
any monopoly, such as a street car line,
gas, water, electric light, telephone
and other public service corporations
that are not owned and managed by
the people; for the reason that it is
best for society that the wealth that
comes by the operation of the monop-
oily after a fair return for risk and in
terest is paid upon capital invested,
should go into the pockets of it's thou
sands of employees rather than into the
pockets of one man or those of few
men. The aim of a monopoly is to
make as much money as possible, re-
gardless of the welfare of its employees
or the public, and compatible alone
with what it considers its best inter-
ests. AS a monopoly pays no more
than it is compelled to pay, a strike
is about the only successful weapon
that can make it pay more. AS a mo-
nopoly takes all that the law will al
low, it cannot, when by strikes the
employees succeed in getting higher
wages, raise prices upon the public
Society thus being benefited by strikes
against monopolies, 1t is clearly the
duty of all to aid and uphold the
striker rather than to censure him. A
monopoly realizing that the public
sympathy and aid would be with the
striker, would allow no strike to
occur.
Strikes are unwise when made
against private employers, and even
corporations when they have compet-
itors. Suppose that strikes were de-
clared against employers producing
differnt kinds of goods, the employers
would in self-defense have to raise
prices on goods produced, and if wages
should be increased land values, rents
and necessary living expenses would
go up in price faster and higher than
wages would or could. But why have
the whole community torn up by
strikes when if successful they could
only give temporary relief? The only
lust remedy that will and can pos
sibly benefit nine-tenths of the people
of this country is to take for public
uses, what the public produces. name
ly. that value called the "unearned
increment of land" PONDER.

World Control Of Oil

Doubtless to their view a challenge
lies in the assertion that very few OF
these companies will reach the actual
producing stage" It remains to be
seen whether a belief so confidently
expressed is justified by impending
events, or IL world control by a single
corporation win continue to meet with
opposition strong enough to gain the
victory that would overturn the work
of many years. In order to accom-
plish that object tariff discrimination
against American oil might at first
suggest itself, but the vastness of the
supply and the extreme low prices
that allow satisfactory profits to the
monopoly would be discouragements.
1t may be regarded as an open ques-
tion whether action across the sea
could soon prevent the overproduction
of crude oil by competitors. The de-
mand for oil Is increasing and may yet
keep pace with the supply. The ever
growing value of oil to all lines of
Industry ought eventually to stop over
production, although some students
argue that the supply will be ample
for an indefinite period.
The struggle, unquestionably, will be
closely watched for signs that the oil
monopoly's control is threatened, but
whether that control Is right or wrong
in principle will have to be determined
by the way in which II affects the ul-
innate consumers to whose activities
petroleum means so much. 1T Is the
people who always render the final
answers to these momentous questions.

NOT ALL MORAL pERvERrs

Editor Herald In the name of
scientific truth, protest against An
ME Ords statement that I'VE are be-
ginning to learn that crime is dis
ease, that the moral delinquent is sick
and needs treatment, not vengeance"
That sounds humanitarian, but is, in
reality, only the cruel doctrine of
Original SIM in modern guise.
1t is not true that the majority of
criminals are morally diseased. What
is true is that the majority have taken
to crime because society offered them
no honest way of making a living. A
man is not necessarily a moral defec-
tive because he steals in preference
to dying by starvation, or even in
preference to begging, and this is the
plight in which many find themselves.
A noted scientist, Professor Bush
nell, writes with our growing in
dustrial disorder is associated q start
ling recent increase in crime and vice"
1 could multiply similar quotations.
AT the same time / read a detailed
account of the methods by which q
group of financiers made 100000, 600
nine hundred millions, mind you-by
gobbling up the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company during the panic
of 1907. A social system that
renders such transactions possible in
evitably begets the conditions that
render crime, committed in obedience
to the instinct of elf-preservation, in
evitable. It is not necessary to sup
pose that the criminals thus pro-
duced are. morally defective or intel
lectual perverts.
OF course, there are moral delin-
quents, but even their existence can
be traced to the crime breeding con-
ditions under which they have been
born and reared. Primarily, our un-
intelligent social arrangements are the
parents of crime, and crime will con-
tinue to increase until those arrange
ments are made intelligent. This is
the one bottom fact, Let us not be
turned from it by any such red her
ring across the trail as all this talk
about the inherent moral depravity of
the criminal Let Annie Ord be
crushed beneath the wheels as thou
sands of our fellow beings are, and
Annie Ord will do as they do.

WOMAN AND THE BALLOT

Editor Herald: There is to be a
counter-crusade of anti-suffragettes,
we read. The ladies who do not wish
to vote, and do not wish their sisters
to vote either, are being heard from.
Opposing the argument that the bal
lot would improve the wages and gem
eral conditions of working women, the
answer is made that five millions or
men who can vote are said to be at
present unemployed But are these
unemployed workingmen clamoring to
be deprived of the suffrage? Perhaps
they prefer to starve at leisure to toll
ing and starving at the same time, as
many working women do.
Further, present conditions permit
sufficient activity in politics" That
is women must continue to Wheedle
votes from husband or brother, from
the grocer or the iceman, when there
is some man or measure they think
necessary to civic veal. Personally,
should like to use my own conscience
and intelligence in such matters and ana
allow my husband and son to do the
same in peace.
Others oppose the suffrage because
many women are ignorant and some
are immoral Considering the large
proportion of girls i'll the upper gram
mar grades, the high schools and the
colleges of California, there should
surely be soon a decided sprinkling OF
intelligent women in this state. In
fact. I wonder If even now the women
do not average up" pretty we'll with
the men voters in respect to educa-
ton and decency. ---,--,

Another important work in behalf of
the ultimate consumer is accomplished
with the selling Of bread by weight In
New York city. Herewith the cam
paign for true weights and measures
that has been sweeping America
touches what has been looked upon by
the people of all times as the worlds
most prominent food article. Hereafter
everyone who buys a pound loaf may
rightfully demand that it weigh the
requisite number of ounces according
to the avoirdupois standard; and II any
unwise professional person makes
loaves that do not meet the laws re-
ouirements he will be kindly but firmly
taxed 500 for each indiscretion upon
discovery. The alternative penalty is
even more undesirable, and unquestion-
ABLY the thought of what the trans
gressor might experience will tend to
make probity attractive.
Aside from that, however, 1t is noted
that a large number of bakers have
voluntarily purchased quantities of
labels that allow for shrinkage through
evaporation in their ovens. Such read
mess to comply with the now conditions
speaks we'll for the clear-sightedness
and good sense possessed by these men
