lis It Justice?

Two young have Just been sentenced nv
Judge Cabanis at San Francisco, to twenty years
Imprisonment apiece for highway robbery, and the
Los Angeles Examiner editorially approves the
sentence
But is it Justice? broad question of ethics
may be involved here. depending upon the crcum-
stances of the cases. There are today in San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles more idle and destitute men
than ever before known in the history of either city
suppose for the sake of argument (and it re-
qulres no wide stretch of the imagination to con-
ceive it to be not far from the TRUTH these two
men had fruitlessly searched for employment for
weeks; not finding it, hungry and desperate, rather
than Deg they stuck up the first man they met
for few dollars. Suppose, as we say, these were
the tacts, Will anyone say the sentence of this
Judge was just, in the absence of any bodily harm
to anyone?
The old argument that the world owes man
living Is rather trite and largely overworked hut
with the provision providing he is willing to work
for it, it is true, after ALL If natural laws for tho
distribution of the products of the earth have been
distorted by man that The wealth of society is in
tne nands OF the few, while the many maintain
an existence between mere livelihood and star
walton, any discouraged member of the submerged
tenth is hardly blameable if he becomes desnerata
and seeks to prolong the existence which God gave
him. He is willing to work, to justify the inunc-
uon that he shall earn his bread by the sweat
OF his brow" then by what right does society seek
to starve him? The right to live was one which
the cave man claimed-it is inherent and inalien
able-and If modern society has made it harder
year by year Tor the average man to make living
then let the responsibility be fixed where it belongs
The scale between justice and injustice is a deli
cate one, and the weight of feather will throw
the balance the wrong way 1t would seem that
too many of urists fail to realize the full force

A New Princinle.

A decision has just been handed down in the
Superior Court at Los Angeles which establishes
new legal precedent in California and one which,
If it be sustained on appeal to higher tribunal
may make a position the governing board of a
county municipality one of exceeding response
bility, and mayhap of embarrassment as we'll
woman, Mrs. Bessie Wurzberger, while driv-
ing over of the county roads, was thrown from
her buggy when the vehicle struck a bad place
in the highway, and sustained a broken hip
Thereupon she brought suit against the county
for $4,000 damages. When the cause came to
trial the judge instructed the jury that if they
found verdict for the plaintiff they should as
sess it to the county supervisor in whose district
the ill-kept road lay. The jury did find YER
dict for the plaintiff, and in the sum prayed for
and now the county supervisor in question finds
himself saddled with $4,000 damage suit
The principle is a one in California but
who will say it will not prove sound in both theory
and practice? The county supervisor was certain
ly responsible for the condition Of the roads of
his district, and, being So it would be ineQuitable
to assess to the taxpayers any damages arising
from accidents due to defective highways since
they Were not in position to remedy the defects
The doctrine is sound, and few decisions like
the one handed down in the Los Angeles court
will tend to make responsible county officials more
attentive to their duties. Nor would we be sur
prised to a Nevada court invoke the same
principle
1t would certainly have ready application in
this state. To illustrate, the law makes the coun-
ty commissioners IN Nevada RESPONSIBLE for the
abatement of nuisances dangerous to life, such as
exposed mining shafts, wells, etc. Upon being
served with notice that such nulsances exist-and

publication-they must take immediate action upon
penalty of forfeiture of office.
Lately there were several fatal accidents at
Manhattan due to falling down exposed openings
IN the ground and one of the cases at least was
directly due to the fact that the law had not been
enforced The Manhattan Post quoted the law
for the benefit of the county commissioners. but
SO far no action has been taken by that body
Perhaps 1t was too busy approving straw bonds
to let such little matter as safeguarding human
life interfere.
But IT the heirs Of the victim brought suit
against the county for $4,000, and the court di-
rected that the verdict go against the Manhattan
member of the board personally, it is sunnosable
there would be aroused a sudden keen interest in
their duties on the part of the members of the
board.

A Startling Prediction.

Thomas A. Edison, the wizard of invention, III
the Cosmopolitan Magazine just issued, gives oft
some startling prophecies to the future
that will make some people sit up and take no
tice Among these prophecies is that gold Will
become cheaper than dirt, due to the discovery II
of artificial manufacture And since
in all contracts bonds etc., gold is written in
there will be fearful overturning of things when
he day comes that gold is made for few dollars
a pound Mr. Edison says:
The discovery of a method of making
gold may be made tomorrow. 1t is just
as likely to be made tomorrow as any
other time. The discovery will surely ee
made time, because the making III
gold is question of only the proper
bination and treatment of matter. mean
by this that all matter is alike. Silver
and gold differ only because the matter
in them combined in different proper
tions~ Who knows but radum has the
power to convert cheap metal into dear
one? If not radium something else?
Nothing that is reasonable is impossible,
and it is reasonable to expect that we
shall find way to make god.'
For this Mr.. Edison professed to regard
the clause in contracts whereby the debtor agrees
to pay his debt lin gold coin of the United States
of standard weight and fneness' as dangerous.
What a snap it would be for the railroads it, some
day, they enabled to pay their indebtedness
Win SOlu LndJ Lney cOulQ make at cost OF $25
a ton!
And thus is the dream of the old Roscrucians
revived once more, and in this prosaic twentieth
century. The dream of making gold out of some
baser metal has lured the imagination for thou
sand years, and while before this we have lacked
an Edison to do the experimenting necessary, yet
we judge it will be some time yet before the
transmutation of metals may be denominated a
science.
But after all, this is an age of surprises. The
dream of today is the fact of tomorrow. Bear in
mind that only ten years ago both the flying ma
chine aud the wireless telegraph would have been
deemed impossible. Today we have them both
And we are manufacturing gems today-every-
thing except the diamond-by the bushel Rubes
and the rest being turned out in quantities to
suit-and not limitations, mind you, but the real,
Identical, simonpure stone. And diamond crystals
are made, too, and sooner later way will be
devised to manufacture the larger stones.
In an age where nothing seems impossible, who
is it that say the making of gold will always
remain hidden secret of Nature?
