THEIR DESERTS
S?n Francisco contiuue- to advertise
to the work! that neither labor nor cap
ital .s safe w ithin its borders. The
right of the American citizen to sell his
labor as he ?ees tit i- denied. anil the
attempt to exercise thit rijjht i- met
with as-ault from a mob. No other
city in the world's history ever strug
gled to its feel so quickly after going
down Iwfore such an awful cataclysm a
overwheimed San Francisco. But,
wbila the stricken city is pulling itself
together and trembling from the phys
ical shock aud injury int'icted on it by
the earth [Uike. it is leing subjected to
blow after Mow from organized graft
er* and the peculiar brand of organized
labor found '-here. In every other city
on the V'acilic Coast capital van find
openings where it will not be placed in
jeopardy from the a? ?ult> of profession
al !ai>Or agitation, a .1 labor will find
opportunities where it will not, '>? in
peril of brickbats aud firearms.
I'uder such conditions it is but Dat
ura". that both capital at?l labor should
give a wnie '(erih to Sau Francisco, and
that city must accordingly struggle on
under the present fearfu1 handicap,
which will never be lifted until rvery
law ai. ding mac. iu the city is permit
ted tD sell h.s iabor at a wage satisfac
tory to himself. In placing the blame
for tbis latest outrage, President Cal
houn, of the foiled Kdlrotds, correct
Iv *tate* that there will be no peace
until ^ lie sentiment condemns the
practices of th > mob which ceems to
have ontro' of the polio- an.! other de
partments of ustioe in San Francisco.
But a publi : s.-n'iment *h ch approves
the use of tirea; ins and the throwing of
brickbats to prevent m i from taming

at Sin Franci- o. flu-f was the head
,r the ring of grafters there and was
used by the street railroad company in
thiir dial- for purcha- ag franchise*
from the board of supervisors- In
order to get power to eiect the board
of supervisor-, Kuef was fore d to
allow ihe criminal element in the ranks
of tne -o-ca!led labor party to have its
own way. The power it wielded grew
until control of the machinery of the
police department was obtained by it.
and today it me- that power to prevent
police interference when a?sau"t- are

good government by going to the [>ol s
and voting against the grafters. The

sisters are but -owing what they
leaped, and its good enough for them

AMERICAN VALOR
The exhibition of bravery displayed
Tjesday by th? sailors of the b?t
tie-h p luuiana b .' illustrates the
material of which the army and
navy of America is composed.
The mta of the rank and file of both
orj animations have been condemned se
verely for the desertions thai have
;akeu plac* in bo'h services, aod their
actions ia tiu.es of peace have been the
cause of ri-.Ject oos be'nsr cis". upon what
th?ir conduct would be ia time of war.
The American man of the line chafes
under the iJlenes- surrounding the bar
racks and on shore, and hi* restlessnei*
sometimes leads him to i>i-eak away:
but the battlefield where Americans
have foucrht and which is marked by
any display of cowardice is unknown.
The Indiana episode would be duplicat
ed on any o.' the American wirships or
in any camp where American soldiers
are congregated should the occasion
arise, for the men in our army and navy
it: not afraid to die.

From trees behind *hich officers are

themselves. Several shots have been
fired at them, but so far As can be
learned none has taken effect.
