The crisis in San Francisco promises
to hasten a decision upon the wage
question. and the suggestion having
been made by Samuel Gompers that
the settlement in San Francisco be

permanent settlement will be
reached in the near future. One
thing practically is assured-there
will be an increase Of the wage scale.

INJUNCTION JUDGES REBUKED.

About two years ago an injunction
was issued forbidding officers and
members of the Moving Picture Oper-
ators' union of Sacramento, Califor-
MIA, from picketing theater. After
several of these pickets. charged with
contempt of court. had been acquitted
a new move was made. Berger, a
man picketing in the vicinity, was
served with copy of the injunction.
He continued to picket. An affidavit
was filed, which did not attempt to
connect him with the case in which
the injunction was issued. A John
Doe order to show cause vas issued
and served upon Berger. He ignored
the order. Then the court, in his alb
sense, found him guilty of contempt,
practically holding that an injunction
ran against the whole world; that the
criminal law was suspended in cases
of persons charged with contempt;
that the burden of establishing innO-
cence was on a defendant charged
with the crime of contempt, and that
all the ordinary formalities of trial
might be dispensed with. There was
no beating about the bush; the argu-
ment was something like this: Since
they never could prove that picket
was connected with the injunction, all
rules of law should be suspended, and
they were suspended. Berger was
convicted and ordered to pay fine,
or go to Jail for one day.
A writ of certiorari was issued by
the district court of appeals on IL
different grounds.
Any one of these ~ grounds should
have been sufficient to annul the judy
ment, but the district court Of appeals.
in 16-page opinion, overruled every
one of those objections, Happily, the
supreme court has now relegated that
opinion to the ash can.
The supreme court held that, In
order to punish for contempt Of court
the AFFIDAVIT must allege that the
person was either party to the suit.
or an agent Of such party, or an ac-
complete Of such party. The clear-cut
opinion Of the chief Justice in this
case ought. to definitely settle this
point for all time.

The plans for the formation of the
gigantic lumber pool are fast nearing
completion and the promoters of the
scheme soon hope to be able to have
absolute control of the lumber trade
on the Pacific coast.
The life of Gov. Flower was threat

somebody who had cognizance of the
plot wrote the governor to beware Of

the duty of prosecuting attorneys to
explore the uncertain and frequently
erroneous tax lists of the dim past to
ascertain If some time within the

omitted to pay on every tract listed

with costs, is an outrage.
Work has begun on the Seattle
Tacoma electric road.
Washington cedar shingles, on the

MAN SHOULD KEEP HIS WORD
To Be Sure of Always Doing 1t, One
Should Be Chary of Making Prom
Uses, Says Writer.

1t is a fine thing to have the repu-
tation of always keeping ones prom
ises. To enjoy such a reputation,
man needs first of all to be chary OF
making promises, says the Milwaukee
Journal. No promise should be made
without due thought. One wants a
reasonable assurance that he will be
able to keep his word before giving 1t.
1t has been said that "a bad promise
is better broken than kept" and this
is probably true. But it is better still
to see to it that the bad promise is
not made in the first place.
Fair promises may make you friends
for the time being, or bring you some
gain to which you may not be really
entitled. But truth comes out at last,
even though long hidden, and then the
seeming gain is lost, the friends you
made turn to enemies and scorn be-
comes your portion. The gain gotten
unfairly never makes one rich or hap
py. You cannot come back too often
on the proverb about "bad promises"
or you will be known as a man on
whom no one can rely. Look ahead
before making a promise. A man who
is known to be careful about keeping
his word is sure to have the respect
of those with whom he has to deal.

2 Ethel watched the National Guards
men marching down the street on their
way to Mexico. George Wendell, with
eyes to the front and head erect.
stepped finely to the music, and Ethel
was proud of her soldier boy, as she
called him all to herself, for they were
not really engaged, although Wendells
attentions had been so marked as to
lead many to think they were.
Roy Turner, who was George Wen
deH's rival for the hand of Ethel, had
Jared badly of late in the young ladys
regard. He was not a soldier, and he
boldly declared he didn't care to be.
He was working hard, building up a
law practice, and taking care of his
sister, and he believed his place was
where he could stick to business and
do the duty that lay nearest to him.
Ethel in a long argument with him
pointed out the selfishness of such a
course when his country needed him.
Roy retorted that he didn't think his
country did need him. He probably
would go if it did, Edith replied that
he was simply evading the point, and
she thought anyone who called himself
a man was always ready to fight.
"'Always ready to fight" repeated
the young man in a serious, saddened
tone. $50 that is your standard of
manliness. It was not the standard of

rorpedo-Boat Destroyers.

Most people are familiar with the
ordinary torpedo-boat, swift vessel
of from 400 to 800 tons in dlsplace-
ment, carrying no defensive armor,
but. armed with tubes for discharging
the deadly torpedoes. To counterfeit
these wasps of the sea, type of YES
sci was designed of about double the
size Of torpedo-boats, little greater
speed, and in addition to torpedo
tubes, armed with rapid-fire six to
twelve-pounder guns, for the avowed
purpose of destroying torpedo-boats.
Lately all the great nations have
stopped building torpedo-boats, as
originally designated, and are building
topedo-boat destroyers. Recent en-
gagements have developed the fact
that torpedo-boat destroyers are used
almost wholly as torpedo-boats. So,
they are really battleship destroyers.
TO defend the capital ships for tor
pedo attack the dreadnaughts and bat
tie cruisers are armed with secondary
batteries Of rapid-fire guns from four
to six inches in diameter. One we'll
placed shell from a gun Of that size
will ordinarily put a destroyer out of
business, as the destroyers have no
defensive armor whatever.
