A RIDICULOUS AGITATION.

The San Francisco Bulletin is making itself
ridiculous by its persistent clamor for the pardon
or parole of Abe Ruef The agitation il keeps
up is undoubtedly more the personal Whim OF
Fremont Older than anything else and III Califor
mia has awakened very little sympathy; however,
in other states it has been regarded seriously
enough to get the Endorsement of those who never
stop to think matter out to sensible conclusion
but must perforce respond to every shallow and
maudlm appeal.
The movement has no more standing III Fact
and reason than had that which resulted in a
protest to the governor general OF Canada Few
months ago against the threatened execution OF
woman murderer a wanton whose notorious inf
deity finally led to the deliberate and brutal kill
ING of her husband. Circumstances were then
grossly misrepreSented, as they are being mlsrep
resented today i'll the interest of the Scoundrel I'M
der fourteen Years sentence in San Quentin.
The place for Ruef is the penitentiary. He is
perhaps of the blacklist hearted convicts there
His crimnaly is of a kind that conspired for the
b trayal of whole city and the debasement of
the principle of representative government The
sentence imposed is light, and while the same
hope of reform should be held out to Ruef as to
any other inmate of the prison, special plea
in his behalf the ground that fairness and jus
tee demand his release is in itself predicatcd on
the rankest Of injustice.
If the Bulletin really desires to ateompi
something worth while let it start movement
,or the return to freedom of
offenders within the grim walls of San Quentin.
but at this time its beautifully drawn pictures of

humanitarlansm are not CONTINGENCIES Sacramento

THE ATROCITIES IN TR1PoL1.

Reports are conflicting about the horrible bar
barty displayed by the hostile parties to the
Italo-Turkish war. The field correspondents seem
to agree that after the Arabs fired into the rear
of the Italians, everybody in The Italian line APP
parently became crazed, and officers alike
Thousands of unarmed natives were shot down like
wild animals, women. children, infants at the
story is sickening.
This incident, described by correspondent is
extreme but typical: The worst of barbarity
! witnessed during the maSsacres was that of a
boy and girl and two aged women, all sick and
lying on the bare ground among the corpses in
their burnt village. All their relatives had been
killed"
Excuse is found for the Italians by the New
York Herald man in Tripoli, who seeks to show
that the natives are fighting with ruthless dis
regard for fair play:
- have old men, cripples and children,
skulking in the corners narrow lanes or am
pushed behind shrubbery firing at soldiers. -Four
men attached to the ambulance corps were killed
by two women who fired from cottage opposite
the barracks. | withdrew from heap of bodies
a child Of II years, seriously wounded. He be
Ionged to IA family that had made barricade out
of heap of ruins, behind which all, even the
women had been firing with the widest savagery.

distance by the troops
But it doesn t matter much who is most wrong.
"ChriStian and barbarian" alike are converted
into savage beasts by war Both Turkey and Italy
are parties to the rules of civilized" warfare,
but the rules amount to nothing in stress Our
own soldiers in the Philippines made some history
that won't look well in print
War is an intolerabe thing, debasing, brutal

usually cruel and selfish 1t is no more to be
justified than the budge0n for private disputes

TO KEEP POSTAL BONDS AT. PAR.

An investor who had deposited money in one
Of the governments postal banks and later con
verted his savings into government bond be-
ing pressed for cash offered his bond for sale
in Wall street, never dreaming that he would
get less than par for it. The postal bonds bear
such low rate of interest that the best price
the seller could obtain was $3.50 on the hun
dicd, Thus he lost $3.50 on each hundred he
had saved and invested.
The condition thus presented challenged the
consideration of the authorities. If postal saw
mgs bonds could be converted into cash only at
a heavy less, it was obvious that there would be
small demand for postal savings bonds Few
investors would be willing to put their savings
into security that could be marketed only by
sacrificing considerable percentage of the prin
cipal
Accordingly the authorities have decided to
maintain the bonds at their par value, task that
will be easy of performance by the utilization Of
the reserve on the deposits and the cash received
in exchange for bond sales. The very fact that
such bonds were convertible into cash at their
par value would Of itself operate as a check to
the offerings for redemption The familiar old
story of the apprehensive depositor who wanted
his money if the bank couldn't pay it and didn t
want it if the bank could, still holds good
