A kind of Chinese wine seized at San Francisco and held for time. has been released. we see by the dispatches. for Chinese quarter because it Is officially be unfit for beverage pur- poses by Caucasians"
 It is here we believe that the authorities have taken long jump at conclusion and have possibly landed on the wrong In these parlous times it is hard. it is impossible to say what is an unfit bever ago for Caucasian.
 It may be said that alcohol, pure in any of its compounds is unfit for beverage purposes; that any liquid that induces intoxcation is unfit
 But that is not what the authorities meant when they pronounced this verdict on this Chinese wine They meant that it was a liquid which no Caucasian would drink if particularly reckless and experi- menting one should drink of it once he would then and there become teetotaller
 If that estimate of the wine is true we should like to see some of tito smell 1t once-to gaze upon compound which Chinese ingenuity has made so surprisingly repeliant beyond the connections which Caueasans have devised.
 We have been thrown much of late among Can casians and have made a study of them in relation to beverages, or so called beverages which contain or are supposed to contain alcohol We know of none which they have tried-hair oil, essential oil, and extracts. Jamaica ginger hideous home brews. whose constituent elements are all the things these Caucasians have heard in relation to alcoholic beyerages,-thrown together indscriminately with another ingredienta ferven hope that the resultant will be something that will knock em dead at forty rods.
 If there is anywhere a liquid that some of the Caueasians we know will think. or can be convinced is unfit for beverage purposes we should ike o see f, Then we will concede that .4vh!biton has a+ 1,s, gained foothold in America

IT ISN'T A MONOPOLY

The Interstate Commerce Commission has ap- proved the merger, consolidating the Adams, Wells Fargo Southern and American express companies.
 This ends far private express companies are concerned competition in the carriage of pack ages over railroads excepting freight or mall For some years this has been fact; there has been no actual competition between the four companies and it is just well to stop pretending that they are four fiercely contending opponents.
 Commissioner McChord objects to confirming an existing monopoly.
 He thinks the railroads should conduct the press business going over their lines, just they forward freight He fears express monopoly. His fears though, seem groundless There be no express monopoly long the U. $. government continues in the parcels post business. At time the country might have trembled at a combination of all private express companies. That before the day of the parcels post.
 A private express combine competing fairly and efficiently against parcels post promises better parcels post The latter without this express com petition, might not prove able to the public

SUCCESS THAT IS SUCCESS

Says Jonathan Bourne. Jr, a senator: success must always be achieved at the expense of some other individual state'
 Is that so? Do think this country can be successful only at the expense of another country? That you can be successful only at the expense of another human being? If that be true, success is having something which belongs to another. Then the thief is successful! The highway robber is cessful!
 Why man alive that isn't success at all.
 Countless millions of humans have achieved success and without achieving 1t at the expense of another. They produced! They did something bet ter than it had been done before. They did things never accomplished before Tom Edison is a sue cess isn't he. Mr. Bourne? How about Burroughs? How about other distinguished scientists? They achieve the most remarkable success, surely not at the expense another rather for the in the best interest of other humans How about the worlds literary successes? How about the law makers? Inventors? Builders?
 may true that Napoleon achieved success at the expense of other humans? And Caesar And Captain Kidd And Jesse James, But. was what they achieved SUCCESS? That sort of success" well may be eliminated from human ambition.
 Bourne's idea of success is to GET something from a fellow human the worth while idea of sue cess Is to DO something for the human race The latter brand of success is never achieved at the expense of another.

 The complaint of the Legion and the department against Post not that he insisted that aliens, cused of being reds should be proved guilty before being deported that Post in the exercise of his power turned them loose before opportunity furnish such proof was given.
 So frequently and consistently did Post order such action that there seemed little doubt of his sympathy with the "red"- doctrine which had led to the arrest of these aliens.
 But the Legion need not despair because Post has been upheld Tn less than two months both Post and the secretary will be missing from the official landscape.

FOR STATE FAIR ATHLETICS

The Hump is strong for athletics as part of the state fair entertainment. That is, as long as the athletic feature is kept free from the taint of conner cialism.
 There is no need in going into con- vuIsions over this thing, however. The cowboy sports need not, as advocated by one over enthusiastic near -profes- sionel athletic promoter, be supplanted by the athletic program. And there is no need of a special member on the fair commission to handle the athletic features. In order to keep the thing clean and uncommercialized. it would appear to be a pretty good move tc turn the proposed athletic feature oi the fair entirely over to the athletic director or coach of the state univer- sity. And then right off the bat bal the professional promoters and alleged coaches" and managers from mix. ing in

THE BUcKsAw eRIeApE

The reVered city managers sugges- tion that we take OUT visiting vagrants out of the city jug and put them to work on the chain gang is not a bad idea. It is one solution of the vexing problem of what to do with the army of vagrants that swoops down on every city with the first frost. What makes the problem vexing is that the majority of these vagrants are not criminals, al- though some of. them are potential crooks, and always a portion are really bag eggs.
 Thus it would seem unduly harsh to put the stain of crime on the bulk of these itinerants by forcing them into the chain gang Many CT these men are vagrant, not by choice, but by force of circumstances. They become charges of the city as matter of course. Thus they become an unin- vited and undesired expense to the city. The chain gang, with its taint, is the city's means of recovering at least a portion of the money spent on these men for food and shelter.
 But there is another method of handling these easusls, which not only accompishes the same purpose as does the chain gang idea, but does it with out offending those unfortunate men who become vagrant against their choice. It is what is known as the municipal woodpile idea.
 Back in the old home town the plan was worked effectively-as it has been worked in other towns. The vagrant is made to work his own way through Jail, and at the same time help out the needy of the city.
 Every vagrant picked up by the po- lice was given the opportunity ot working at the municipal woodpile fol his board and lodging. We had two or three of these woodpiles in the city It was simply a large, enclosed yard with a big pile of wood to be sawed up in stove lengths. Plenty of buck. and saws around the yard. Nearby was a municipal lodging house. Th' vagrant was told he could either worl four hours saving wood and get as reward two meals and a nights lodg ing. or go to jail for a stiff term. Int really honest vagrant, the unintentiona tramp, grabbed the chance to work, t' keep busy, to earn his bed and board anything to keep from becoming bum. The professional ''bO'-weu onl! a few Of them fell into the trap. Whel the news spread among the profession of the stiff sentences being handed out to those who preferred the jail, tn rest of them either went to work on tn wOodpile or kept under cover.
 When man worked four hour saving wood the lone keeper of tn yard gave him a ticket which entitle' him to a clean bed in the city lodgin, house and two meals. At the house hi name, address, where from, plans fo the future. trades, what kind of worl wanted-aF these things were writte down on a card and filed for reference The city welfare department kept al eye out for job for him.

FOR THE WHITE LIGHT

When the city cornish. draws up its ordinance creating a board of charities to govern the soliciting of funds of charitable organizations, we trust they will require that after every drive or tag day, the organizations participant ing publish in the local press a state ment of their income from the drive, New York adopted such move as this when it was divulged that in an cnor- nous charity drive only 25 cents out of every dollar donated went to charity. The rest went to salaried Workers and other expenses. Charitable Organiza- tions conducting their work in eff cient, business like manner need have no fear of such an ordinance.

A wbitewashed Post

The bill of health which Secretary of Labor Will son has given Louis r. Post in charge of immigra- ton will not be accepted either by the American Legion or the department of justice both of which believe Post to be sympathy with the reds" The secretary himself beyond suspicion of softness toward the men and women whom at great expense the department for the last two years has been rounding up only to have them turned loose.
 There is also held in recollection the sympathy felt by the secretary for Thomas Mooney the errand of the secretary's sweet scented nephew to- San Francisco where he collected the testimony of anarchists boshevsts and put it together nj the form of an official report denouncng the officers of the law, the jury. the witnesses and the court He gave out the report local publication taking care however to put state boundary between himself and California before 1t should appear
 Assuming that Mooney who so enlisted the solici- .ude of the secretary was not guilty of the crime of which he was convicted, why should his case have called for the attention of the secretary that of scores of other murderers under sentence, all protest ing their innocence? The crime of Mooney was not one of which federal authorities should take of tcial notice It was one against the state of Cali .ornia. s3ut if Mooney was not guilty of murder
 here is no doubt the secretary must have learned that he had previously and frequently committed an offcnse which tho secretary says should take any man outside the sympathy of MT Post"one Of the trues Americans have ever come in contact with" b!

SPEAKING oF STARS

Some of the newshounds were sitting in the news room of the Republican trying to agree on how many planets there are The guess ranged from six to twelve planets. Mac" Mcleod. the poet laureate of the staff, was holding out for six planets, and to convince hls audience, he tilted his chair back against a desk, and fumbling through his sandy locks with the always medi- tative fingers, he tried to recall the names of the orbs. In the midst or hl5 recollecting, his chair shot from under him. On the way down to the nara hard, cement floor, his head struck the sharp corner of the desk with violence that made the point of his chin kiss his wishbone.
 When he was coming to, Mac rubbed his head in a justly dazed man ner and murmured, Boys, we're all wrong. There are a million planets and just had a squint at all of them!"
 For morning exercise, the staff vii now rise and name the planets in the order of their orbits outward from the sun.
