WISDOM OF CREATING THE OFFICE.

The labor commissioner of California is dem
onstrating the wisdom of the people of that
state in creating his office. Recently he has
been investigating abuses in the pay clerk sys-
tenn employed by construction contractors and
others The gist of his conclusion is that the
poor, ignorant foreigners who find employment
on railroad grading and other such work
robbed of the miserable pittance for which they
toll in a most heartleSS and cOld-bloOded man.
ner through collision between employers and
employment agents The business of skinning
these unfortunate people may be said to have
been reduced to an exact science. A sample
of the measures employed in procuring the la
Dor of these people is as follows:
An employment agent rounds up several
hundred men for contractors at promised
stipend of 81 60 a day, with a charge Of rs
cents a day for board There is also to be
taken from their pay a fee Of one dollar for
the employment agent, and fifty cents for hos
pital dues The allowed to work two
days, each earning 1920, when they are dis
charged and given pay check calling for the
amount less the charges, $3.50 for board 81
for agent, and soc for hospital, leaving a bal
ance of 20 cents for the two days work After
a day or two they are again given jobs, and the
milking process is repeated.
Being for the most part illiterate foreigners
without money or friends they are helpless in
the hands of these sharks The California labor
commissioner has declared war on these rob-
bers, and with the help of the attorney general
hopes to be able to break up the nefarious
practice. With such robbery of the poor going
on, is it any wonder that the poor devils oc-

SENATOR STONE.

1t now appears that the Honorable William
j. Stone, a senator of the United States from
the sovereign state of Missouri didnt really
mean what he seemed to when the other day
he reared and Numbered the floor OF the
chamber for the reporting out of the foreign
relations committee of his resolution whose
adoption would have authorized the president
to rush American troops over the Rio Grandc
into Mexico-a proceeding that would have but
meant war between the two nations.
He has Just explained that all he was after
was due protection of the lives and property
of American citizens and that the capture OF
the city of Juarez by the insumectos and the
evacuation of most of the border towns by the
federal troops seem to have taken the lighting
away from the border and thus lessened the
danger to American lives from the hostllities
eff" he continued. this reckless fighting
is to go along the border and the lives
of Americans >endangereds by stray bullets from
Mexican rifles, the United States should take
radical action. This government was not so slow
to act in Panama. Why, ought to exercise
supervision over all Latin-American countries on
this continent"
These views are widely different from those
of last week, practically demanding immediate
armed intervention by the United States in
Mexico But they still lack conservatism If
this country were to exercise supervision
over all the Latin-American nations IN the man
ner suggested it would be at about three
hundred and siXty-four days IN the year-and
eventually it would acquire most of these coun-
tries itself, just as it took Porto Rico,
the Philippines and Guam as the result OF It's
armed intervention between Spain and the Gu
bans back in 1898.
We don't want any more territory, and
the less Supervision we exercise over our
neghbors to the southwark, the better it will
be for us-and for them, too Let them fight
it out as often as they have an insurrection
We have troubles of our own.

THE REWARD OF FAITHFUL SERVICE.

The Sacramento Bee is authority for the
story that Governor Cocord is to be removed
from the position of superintendent of the
United States assay office at Carson City, to
make room for more energetic politician. Gov
ernor Colcord deyotes his time to the duties OF
his Office which should entite him to hold
down the job as long he wants it, but it
would seem that efficient service in office IS
minor consideration with the republican ma
chine of this state.
The old governor has grown grey in the
service of his party and of his state, He made
a splendid governor of Nevada and has made
a splendid superintendent of the assay office. In
all the years that he has occupied important
positions of trust not the faintest suspicion OF
scandal has ever been attached to any Of his
actions.
The politicians would do well to make haste
slowly in the removal of such a man, even
when the removal is demanded by the ward
heelers.-Ely Expositor

SEALING DIVORCE COMPLAINTS.

The practice of sealing divorce complaints
in Reno and treating them as something sacred
is upsetting the old-established precedents OF
law and custom
The contention that a divorce complaint is
not public document is not to be considered
for a moment.
If some Reno reporter wanted access to such
a document and was refused he could ask the
supreme court for writ of mandate and he
would get it in short order
The Carson newspapers never pay any at
tention to divorce proceedings unless the parties
in the case are very prominent people, but this
paper will guarantee to make any official come
through with the documents in any ease, divorce
or otherwise, if they are wanted for publication.

AFTER THE THIEVES.

Of the 100 entries to Alaska coal lands 700
have been reported by the agents of the
field division of the general land office and
the Associated Press reports: $50 far as known
none of the claims in the various Alaska coal
fields has been found valid" In one coal field
all the locations have been cancelled In an
other where bluff of coal overhangs the
shore OF the Arctic ocean. all but two of the
locations have been cancelled
Long and difficult is the path to patent
for the greedy gentlemen who thought by the
employment of dummies to seize the Alaska
fuel box and sell the people their own coal
at huge profit. The coal lands of Alaska
belong to the people of the United States. For
generations to come they should supply cheap
fuel to the millions on this western coast. Con-
servation does not mean the locking up of such
resources. 1t means their rational development
and fullest and most economical USE and that
on conditions which will yield the largest profit
to the public. Land thieves are playing in
Alaska for stake of hundreds of millions.
Were they to succeed their success would be
but robbery of the public by spoilers of the
public.
