SAN DIEGO. To bed sheet, a
ships funnel and q contrary tide, Cap
tain San Martin, master OF the Mexi-
can steamer Benito. Juarez, owes his
life. The shippers experience at Man.
zanillo is probably unparalleled in the
annals OF navigation. A misunder-
standing OF the rules governing the
Earbor of Manzanillo was the cause
Of the unusual incident. -5sg.
After stopping at Mazatlan, usually
the southern terminal of the steamer
on her voyages south from San Diego,
the Benito Juarez was ordered to pro-
coed tosManzanillo. Captain San Mar
Iin took his little coaster into the har-
Dor about o'clock in the afternoon
and steamed at full speed for the gov
eminent wharf.
When about 500 feet .distint from
the shore the doughty skipper was as
tenished to witness a full company of
soldiers lined up on the wharf with
their rifles aimed at him. Instantly
realizing that they meant to fire, Cap
tain San Martin ordered the anchor
dropped and a white flag hoisted to
the fore truck. In the meantime both
he and the helmsman dropped to the
deck. AS. the anchor was tripped and
the wheel left free the ships head,
caught by an outgoing tide, swung
around until the ships funnel was in
direct line between the soldiers and
the bridge.
lin the meantime a search of the
vessel failed to reveal a white flag

soldiers the bridge would have been
raked. The first intimation the fed.
erals received that the steamer was, a

POST
And
Pl)BLIClMORALS

The parcel post service has now
been in operation nine months. For
the first six months the department
figures an increase of income from
this business of 1900, 900 in round
] figures, a very large part Of which is
net profit. A part of this profit has
been made at the expense Of the ex-
press companies, which perhaps de
serve no sympathy Just now. because
Of their notorious attitude toward the
public In the past. Most of 1t has
been made by inflicting q positive
loss upon the. railroads, In two ways.
They have lost the revenue which
the express companies divide with
them: and they have been required to
co a lot of work for which they have
Aot been paid, at all, and will not be
unless Congress should pass a relief
bill. g.
Such facts rs these, together with
the reported purpose of the Wilson
administration to control the tele.
graph and. telephone service in some
such way as it now controls" the
parcel carrying business, by furnish
ing competition which the companies
will moi. be able to meet" leads the
New York Times to term the whole
project not only "uQeconomic," but
Immoral" On this point it remarks:
If the proposal were to provide
economic competition, and by super.
ior efficiency to drive incompetent
corporations out of express, telegraph
telephone, land other undertakings,
not a word would be raised In their
defense. They are commercial en-.
terprises and must take the risks OF
their trades. But when the proposal
Is to throw the taxing and law-mak,
ing power into the scale against them
to destroy the value of their property,
it is unfair That is none the less
robbery because done under the forms
OF law and in the name of govern
ment. Every receiver of a postal card
carried at the cost of the railways
whose services are not paid for is a
receiver of stolen goods"
That is putting the case rather
bluntly, yet when we look the facts
in the face it is impossible to deny
that the conclusion is correct.
Any man who, merely because he
has the power, compels another to
give him unpaid service is a robber.
He has taken from the other his time.
mis- strength. or his property in some
iqrm, without making due compensa-
tibn. If 10 men thus combine to rob
eight. the immortality remains.
