We do not think that Governor

Dickerson in his present position,
arc making any friends by giving
the warden a free hand in running
prison affairs regardless of public
opinion. The business men uf The
state who pay taxes toward run
ming the state government are not
overlooking the fact that the Ward

plies that can be had for the same
price at home, nor is the general
public forgetting that mrn who
have been convicted of murder are
having comforts and luXurics that
thousands OF good lawbiding citi.
zens would be grateful to receive.
Convict Uric, who was convicted
of the crime of being implicated in
the murder of two good Italian
citizens of Humboldt county is now
having the best time he ever had in
his life and Od1ic and Thatchcr are
largely responsible for keeping n

AGAIN BULLY FOR HEARST"

Mr.. Hearst has kindly submitted
to an interview in Mr.. Hearst's
New York American on the poor
prospects of the Democracy under
President Wilson, who is not a
Democrat in spirit" and on the
possibility that truly, progressive
Democrats like Mr.. Hearst may
break away and join progressive
Republicans behind Mr.. Roosevelt.
What chiefly troubles MIR. Hearst
now is also what chiefly troubles
Mr.. Roosevelt-a business depres-
sion whose cause is the lowered
tariff and the evidence # whose
existence Mr.. Hearst finds in his
understanding that an amazingly
large proportion OF the freight
cars are not in use: that there is
no demand for them"
There is d large proportion Of
such cars idle. They numbered
25l,S02 on May 81 which is the
maximum for the year, and 2l9,-
542 on July / or %, $50 car fewers.
But if this is an Amazingly LARGE
proportion" by what term shall
we describe the 332,513 idle cars
reported on January 6, 1909. near
the close of President R%oosevelt's
administration, and the 4l3,23S
idle cars reported m April 30,
1908 when the total numbsr of
cars in existence was much smaller
than now and when Mr., Roosevelt's
government and its high prosperity
tariff were in full swing?
But we shall have these ordered
better next time when Mr.. Ruosc-
welt will have the guidance and
counsel Of Mr.. Hearst. Then in the
winter and spring all the freight
cars will be in use and there will
be none of the many thousands Of
extras needed in the tall to nov

the ground.

reports would Indicate, upon a
similar basis of computation, that
the total value Of farm products
will this year rise to $4,000. 000,-
600 says the New York World.
A dollar needs no measure: ten
billions are better grasped by COM

That vast sum would buy all the

tional debts Of war obsesscd France

charges nearly d35 times.

The OUTRAGEOUS
CAMPAIGN OF DEFAMATION

Whether it be called a conspiracy
or not, there has been a campaign
of defamation of the business con-
diticHs Of the country, conducted
solely in the hope of defeating
Democratic candidates for Congress
and securing s Republican House
this fall. 1t is a disreputable cam
psign, and a dangerous one. ANY
merchants credit is Liable to be
impaired by the circulation of
rumors that he is embarrassed. The
effort to convince the country that
the state of business is very bad is
directls calculated to make it bad,
and that is its purpose The Pro-
tectionist propaganda would be
glad to see a panic. The last one
we had was when they were in full
possession of the Government, but
their effrontery is equal to charg-
ing any dullness of business now on
the Democratic Party, while deny
ing that they were responsible for
the panic of 1907.
The effort of men in Congress
and of the distinctively Protertiop-
list organs 10 collect and repeat and
enlarge on every indication of dull
ness of trade, and to predict worse
conditions in the near future, is a
wicked and deliberate effort to
bring about a bad state of business
in the hope of making some polit-
zeal gain out Of it. Thu banker in
