SHALL ABE RUFF BE PARDONEDs
Fremont Older, Of the San Francisco
Bulletin, who was one of the most
active in the prosecution of Abe Ruef,
writes as follows in the Survey Maya
zine:
II the graft fight in San Francisco
served no other purpose, 1T proved OF
great educational value both to the
PEOPLE in whose interest 1T was waged
and to the men who led the movement.
True, Abraham Ruef was the only man
indicted who reached the penitentiary,
but, speaking as one of the men promi-
nent in bringing about the exposure, /
do not regret that mere were not
placed in the stripes of infamy. / do
not regret it because / have ceased to
believe that our economic difficulties
are going TO be solved by sending men
to prison. The cure lies deeper. Men
are too weak to withstand the temp
tations that lie in their way. So long
as public necessities are controlled by
private corporations there will be civic
corruption.
Even though Ruef deserved to be
pursued as I pursued him for more
than eight years, and though he de-
served all of the bitter denunciation
that was heaped upon him, felt, when
it was all over, that the time had come
for mercy, and since his Imprisonment
l have been endeavoIfng by every means
In my power to bring about that feel
ing in others. Ny attitude in this mat
that all of the indictments against all
of the other graft defendants have
been dismissed, leaving the men who
were accused Of having furnished the
bride money entirely free. This leaves
Abraham Ruef alone, serving a term
in the penitentiary. Certainly no fair
minded man will be able to see any JUS
tice in this.
Some of the critics of my action have
attempted to answer me by saying that
there are many men in San Quentin
poor men, who are suffering greater
injustice than Ruef. That may be true,
but the fact that / did not spend eight
years of my life in putting them there
is my answer to those who make that
very obvious point If I had my way,
I would parole so percent of the men
in our state penitentiaries; but society
has not yet progressed far enough to
see this economic waste and the few
who do see it will have to wait as pa
tiently as they may until the light
spreads to the dark places. 1 do not
believe that society should undertake
to punish any of its members-that is,
do not think it should go beyond
mere restraint, the loss of liberty.

n YOUNG man writes me worried

To this question unhesitatingly an
swer:
Son, break the engagement every

have the slightest suspicion that the

your heaven ordained affinity, or II
you have the faintest doubt that you
would pine away and die if You didn't

Hostages to Fortune.
Better for you-a thousand times bet
ter for her-the temporary sting OF a
broken engagement than the lifelong
ache of broken heart If the ties that
hold a man to woman before marriage
are so gossamer-lfke that they can be
broken, they ought to be broken, for
they are OF such fragile material that
when the pull and strain Of married life
come upon them they will give way,
and then the damage will be far more
disastrous than 1t was during the be-
trothal.
When a man and woman get married
they give hostages to fortune They as
sumo obligations that they must keep,
and no matter how great the mistake,
no matter what the vagarieS of the
heart, they are in honor bound to stand
to the bargain they have made
1t seems TO me that there IS no other
subject that we regard with suoh Quix-

Matrimony's Understudy.
This is a false view of the situation.
To degree a betrothal is sort of
understudy of matrimony, and IN the
freedom Of increased companionship,

man have opportunities of getting an

HINTS TO CLERKS.

IOm N. u X. w cekly.
A clerk has many an opportunity TO
get new customers by fayorably speak
ing of the store and it's proprietor to
his friends. Always boost the man
who employs you. When you get to
the point where you do not do this It
is time to look for another position.
Punctuality is one of the require
ments of a successful clerk. Being the
first at the store in the morning Is a
good recomme ndation for any clerk.
Do not always wait to be told what
to do. Use your Judgment If 1t is
backed by sufficient reason.
The desire to do something more, and
better, than others were doing led
our ancestors to sail the ocean and
conquer new lands.
Ambition raises men above their fell
lows. 1t lifts them out of the, rut,
which is little better than the grave
Clerks can show their ambition in
many ways
