fact that a mawkish sentiment has been developed in California, which has emboldened a body of men ad- vertising anarchism to take the law into their own hands.
 When a few months ago the !. w. W.'s paraded the streets of San Diego, defying the authorities, and advocating violence, the people of the State refused to stand by that com munity when 1t resorted to the only possible practical method of dealing with the syndicalists who proclaimed that it was their mission to destroy.
 Instead, the issue was clouded and open defiance of law was con doned upon the ground that it was mere exercise of the right of free speech for men to threaten violence and to preach the desirability of the destruction of property rights.
 "It is not surprising that the com parative immunity enjoyed by the I. w. W's should produce the re- suits recorded in yesterdays news columns. It seems incredible that such should be the case, but we are gravely told that the I. w. W.'s. who were leaders in the rioting at Wheatland on Sunday, have sent out a call for re-enforcements. We shall see whether it was responded to and what will happen in the event of the truculent gang assem- bling in any considerable number near the scene of the hop pickers' difficulty.
 But the trouble will not be set tied by the composition of the diff culty at Wheatland. It can only be dealt with effectively by dismissing sentimentality, and recognizing the fact that society cannot endure if t permits men who refuse to obey the laws, and who insist that the world owes them a living without working.
 "Once this fact is clearly recog nized, the riotous and murderous career of the I. w. W.'s will be checked and men will deal with economic affairs like reasoning beings, instead of resorting to mur- der in a vain effort to carry their point"

CAUSTIC SENATOR PULLMAN

A New York banker wrote caustic letter to Senator Tillman after the Senator had appealed for the early passage of the currency bill. Tillman showed that he could be a bit caustic himself when there was occasion for it. He wrote to the banker as follows:
 You think the sun, moon and stars revolve around New York, and you alone are entitled to any considera- tion. You forget the farmers of the United States grow the great crops which have produced commerce which makes New York the imperial city it is."
 Senator Tillman, not entirely with out justification, proceeds to point out that New York bankers have had enormous favors from the govern ment in the past, far out of propor- ton to any other part of the coun- try. He calls attention to the panic of 1907, when between forty and fifty million dollars was deposited by the government to the order of J. Pier pont Morgan, without interest, and was loaned by him to New York brokers as his own funds.
 The Senator closes his letter with this somewhat unparliamentary language;
 Any sensible man knows this, and you ought to have some of your friends sue out a writ of lunacy and commit you to an asylum for idiots. You are either crazy or a fool, I don't know which" There the Sena- tor laid down his pen.

PUBLISHERS AT s12oo PER.

A recent speaker before the Mis- .ouri Press Association remarked that there are in Missouri 300 pub fishers who do not make over Sl20O per week. Nearby States have m equal number, he said. They work 70 to 80 hours per week.
 When the followers of so fine a profession are to large extent so poorly paid, some grievous fault exists. Is it the editors fault or the public's? It can hardly be the latter, in these days when the farmer drives a motor car, when painter and carpenter earn so to 100 per cent more than a few years ago. i- g 1~1T d.:
 The editor, like the farmer, has prided himself on his individuality. The farmer plants himself on the sod of his farm and glories in king ship over all he surveys. Similarly the editor feels that his smeared type cases and dusty desk are d little empire all his own. The paper may be smoochy, its columns made up with a shovel. But it is This" !" and not all the Rockefellers can change it.
 This defiant isolation has been picturesque. In some phases it has heroic elements, when the editor speaks out in meetin' for things that to him seem good and true. Most of the time it has meant simply that his children have quit at the high school, while the other fellow went to college.
 There will never be trusts in the newspaper business. But the pub fisher who sells his space and his information service for prices that leave him stranded in the remotest back eddies of prosperity is a fool and he knows it better than any one else.
 The State Press Associations should take up the problem of giv- ing the country editor an adequate reward for his incidentally bene ficial service. But he must stand up in his boots and demand his owr rights like a man.

HIS CONFESSION A SURPRISE ID
 OFFICERS
NEGRO SUSPECTED OF ONE CRIME UNDER QUES- TIONING ADMITS COM HITTING 2 BURGLARIES
(From Sundays Daily.)


 Samuel Massey, a negro, has coll fessed to burglarizing the Cash Grocery, adjoining the Scopel Hotel, and a room located at Granite and Goodwin street, both on Tuesday night. Arrested and charged with the crime of entering the business establishment, Massey pleaded inno- cence. He was placed in the city lookup Yesterday Chief of Police Heisler and Deputy Sheriff Joe Young questioned the prisoner for two hours, after which the prisoner not only admitted the crime he was charged with but admitted the robbery of the other place.
 Sometime between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, someone entered the Cash Grocery. In the morning, the proprietor found gun missing and the front of the safe badly defaced as the result of activities pursued by the burglar, with the assistance of meat cledve--
 The Police and Sheriff's office were notified and officers set upon the trail.
 During Wednesday morning a re- port also came in from the room robbed that two watches. several rings and other costly trinkets, had disappeared over night. The officers, however, did not connect the two crimes
 The clue which led to the appre- hension of the confessed burglar was picked up by the officers in an acei- dental manner. While scouting about the neighborhood, negro resi- dent advanced the innocent tip that colored man had been trying to dispose of a gun to him. The pros pective buyer was interested and in structed the seller to call around in the evening.
 Both Heisler and Young lay in wait that evening, but their an ticipated prisoner failed to appear. Instead, a young lad knocked upon the door of the house, asked for the "boss" and displayed the gun, saying that the man had told him to get the money" With the youth as guide, Massey was trailed to Granite creek, where he was bounced upon Massey protested his innocence of any wrong doing, but the city lookup was headed for.
 Until yesterday the prisoner con tinued to maintain his innocence But when he finally broke down and confessed to his entrance into the Cash Grocery store, he also sprung the neat surprise of confessing to the other robbery the same night.
 Massey, leading the way, the three reached a point about 200 feet be- yond the point where the room was robbed. There amidst clump ot bushes was buried the bundle ot treasure stolen from the room. The jewels were taken in charge and then the prisoner was turned over by Chief of Police Heisler to the county authorities yesterday. The crime constitutes grand larceny and the prisoner will probably be haled be- fore Justice of the Peace McLane probably tomorrow.

THE TENACIOUS I. w. w.

The perniciousness of the In dustrial Workers of the World or ganization has had another startling example in the hop fields of Cali fornia, where rioting occurred last Sunday, and four men were killed, including the District Attorney.
 We hear of this organization in the silk factories of Paterson, in the cotton mills of the New England States, in the dock strikes on the Great Lakes, in the railroad strike of the Northwest, in San Diego, in Utah, in Colorado.
 The activities of this organization always are coupled with violence and defiance of law and insult to the American flag and not infrequently with the taking of human life. l, is the greatest menace to organized society in the United States today, and sooner or later must be firmly met and dealt with by the law.

WILSON AND POLK.

The tariff debate in the Senate is not without some features of interest and some of the speeches have a certain educational value, though most of them are hopelessly com monplace.
 One of the really good speeches, so far. was that of Senator Catron, who presented his views on the wool tariff with clearness and vigor. Senator Warren, of Wyoming, has made the best and most compre- hensive general speech, so far, de Iivered
 The most notable feature of the discussion has been the pulverization of so many blanks of the Baltimore platform. The Democrats have been caught, time and again, admitting that the bill as framed would de stroy some industry, and these ad- missions have been compared with the following declaration in the Baltimore platform:
 We recognize that our system
 of tariff taxation is intimately
 connected with the business of
 the country, and we favor the
 ultimate attainment of the prin-
 ciples we advocate by legislation that will not injure or destroy a
 legitimate industry.
 When confronted with these in consistencies, the Democrats have answered, as John Sharp Williams answered Senator Warren, that an immense majority of the people has declared for the sort of tariff law they are going to get.
 Senator Warren then cited some Illuminating figures and gave some embarrassing facts on that point. In addition to pointing out the fact that the President was elected by a minority he also dug up a pat comparison between the utterahces of Mir. Wilson, as a candidate in Pennsylvania. and a letter written by James K. Polk when he was a candidate on tariff revision plat form. 4 stts 'V'~is sssE It was shown that seven million six hundred thousand votes were cast for Taft and Roosevelt whose tariff views were identical, and that only six million two hundred thou sand votes were cast for the tariff revision candidate Also that many votes were cast for Mr. Wilson be- cause of the plank in the Baltimore platform cited and the speech of acceptance in which the Democratic candidate expressed views in har- mony with the plank It was fur ther shown that on the basis of the popular vote, had all of it against NIT. Wilson been cast for one candi- date, the Democrats would have re- ceived only one hundred and fifty two electoral votes instead of four hundred and thirty-five. In thirty four States having an aggregate pop ulation of sixty-five millions, MT Wilson was in the minority, but their electoral votes went to hin because the protection vote was di vided.
 Thus, it may be seen that MT Wilson held no mandate from th' American people for radical tariff revision of the free trade variety.
 It was also shown that MT. Will son, at a critical period of his cam paign, went into Pennsylvania an' said: "The Democratic party doe not propose free trade, or anything like free trade" It was here tha

the comparison with James K. Polk was made. NIT. Polk needed Penn sylvania, and he wrote letter to a friend declaring that 1t was "the duty of the government to extend just and fair protection to all the great industries of the Union, em- bracing agriculture, manufactures, commerce and navigation"
 That letter, it is said, saved Penn sylvania to Polk as against Henry Clay. a known protectionist. The election of Polk was followed by the Walker tariff which approached free trade. Folks letter was as quieting to the protectionists as was Wilson's speech at Pittsburg. The present bill is about as extreme as the Walker bill.
 It is not necessary to assume that the new tariff bill will permanently injure the country. It will be bound to cause a period of readjustment and consequent disorder in the busi- ness world. The results may be beneficial They will be beneficial as justifying the tariff-for-revenue- only theory or as an object lesson to the country.
 But whatever may occur, the Re publicans have little with which to charge the Democrats. They knew of the readjustment that must come Had they held together and made 1t themselves, it might have been done better. A party that throws away its opportunities can blame nobody but itself If the tariff law Is made bv amateurs '7 7-
 For a generation, the Democrats have been denouncing Republican tariffs in academic speeches. Now they are called upon to construct schedules and they find it a most difficult task. It is easy to criticize the engineer and train crew, but we might find it difficult to run the train if the responsibility should be thrust upon us,
 The bill as it will pass the Senate will have many crudities and will at best necessitate many changes. It is unfortunate that Congress, of all parties, could not pass bill creating a permanent tariff board.
