G. Lavng—Thursday, January 30, Palo Alto Brood Mares, at 721 Howard street = NO TIME FOR DELAY. ALIFORNIA is waiting on the courts for a ‘ decision of the oil rate cases. The temporary injunction still bars the way against the en- forcement of the order of the Railroad Commission. The railroad has its triumph in every day of delay, while the loss to the public increases. It is for the courts to decide how loeng this delay shall continue. They can grant a postponement to the roads, or they can bring the issue to a prompt hearing. ~The people are waiting and watching to see which will be done. The issue is not one of private parties. It affects the whole community. It is a suit of such impor- tance that public policy dictates that the right of way be given it over all privafe cases on the calendar. | The Supreme Court of the United States set a precedent in giving a right of way for a prompt hearing of the income tax cases. That high example can well be followed by the courts of California in this instance Upon a prompt hearing the public has a right to insist. An enormous amount of business is at stake on a decision which will determine to a large extent at what price fuel is to be obtained for manufacturing and other purposes. Great interests of that kind, so important, so varied end so widespread, ought not to be set aside for slight causes. It is the duty of the courts to promote the general welfare by acting as promptly as they can in untangling legal technicali- ties that interfere with the industries upon which the prosperity of the people depends. The matter is the more urgent because there are reasons for believing the railroad will ask not for slight postponements but for a long delay to begin with. It is said Mr. Herrin has already signified a desire to have the hearing of the case postponed un- til he returns from a journey to the East, where he goes to attend a meeting of the Interstate Com- merce Commission. That means, of course, a delay until about the end of February as a starter. After that there will be something else. Mr. Herrin will never be lacking in an excuse for delay. No just reason can be given for any postponement of an immediate hearing of the case. It has been heard by the Railroad Commis#ion and the com- mission has acted. It is the duty of the courts to give due heed and recognition to the commission, for, like the courts themselves, it is a part of the government of California. When required to issue an injunction suspending the operation of a decree of the commis- sion it is the duty of the courts to bring the issue to a final hearing at once. When any other course is taken the courts lend themselves to the subversion of a branch of the government which is co-ordinate with themselves. Should a long postponement be permitted in a hearing which is so important as this to the indus- tries and the trade of the people, something very much like a judicial outrage will have been com- mitted against the State itsell. When justice is de- layed, justice is denied. If a decision of the Rail- road Commission can be set aside for weeks and even for months without a hearing on its merits, then the Government itself is mocked and the courts become instruments of something very much like anarchy. Such a course means that the interests and the in- dustries of the people are to be kept in suspense for indefinite periods of time solely. because corpora- tions unwilling to submit their case to the arbitrament of law. We repeat there is no justification at all for delay in this case. No court can justly plead that it is too busy to give the hearing at once. It is an emergency issue. It affects virtually all California, and all Cali- fornia waits impatiently for the decision. are Richard Croker for once appears to be in perfect harmony with the rest of us. .

TRACK GAMBLING AGAIN. N Monday an ordinance was Mtroduced at the meeting of the Board of Supervisors to amend the anti-poolselling ordinance which, if adopted, will authorize the resumption of track gambling at Ingleside racetrack. On Tuesday Mayor Schmitz found it necessary to suspend Justices’ Clerk Williams from office because Williams had been found to spend a considerable portion of the busi- ness hours of the day at the Emeryville racetrack in- stead of in his office. In considering what they shall do with the amendment proposed on Monday the Supervisors will do well to heed the significance of the Mayor’s action on Tuesday. Track gambling is an evil that carries its con- demmnation with it The moment it appears the watchful eye can perceive the black shadow of wrong and crime that follows it. Williams is not the only employe of the city who has been led to the neg- lect of duty by its enticements. The Mayor states that shortly after he took office his attention was called to a carload of deputies and clerks and other officials bound for the ferry to take the boat to the racetrack at Emeryville. He adds: “I was astounded when the names of at least a dozen on that car were given me. I was expressing my surprise at the audacity of these employes when on the next car an- other group was pointed out to me, also ‘bottnd for the racetrack, among them being Mr. Williams. On the preceding car had been at least two of his depu- ties, and as this was u business day it struck me as a most outrageous proposition that both principal and deputies should thus neglect their duties.” Since such demoralization of official work results from the maintenance of track gambling at Emery- ville, what would be the result of track gambling at Ingleside? The answer to that question can be found in the past records of the criminal courts, the prisons, the poorhouse and the Morgue. The officials, clerks and deputies who may lose their places because they fell victims to the entice- ments of the track gambling across the bay may ac- count themselves fortunate. They will have lost little if the loss go no further than that. Other men money, honor, position, hope and life itself. Not very long ago San Francisco took account of the cost of track gambling here and found that the cost included not merely an enormous loss of money, both public and private, but the wreck of manhood and womanhood, the ruin of families, every kind of theft, from petty embezzlements to forgeries, and crimes of all sorts, reaching to murder and to suicide. It #hould not be necessary to recall again to the public mind the details of that wretched record of vice. folly and crime, and give once more the names of the unfortunate victims of a system of gambling legalized by the «city. The Supervisors cannot be ignorant of it and ought to be well aware that'a renewal of track gambling will mean a renewal of that series of appalling offenses which roused popular indignation and compelled the closing of the gambling games. Let the Supervisors profit by the disclosures of the demoralization of the pub- lic service as revealed through the investigations of That is enough to teach the lesson with- out waiting for crime to come and clinch it. e e e Since his retirement from the Navy Department Maclay has undertaken a defense of his famous at- tack upon Schley, and says: “The word coward does not appear in the book. I spoke of caitiff flight, but that does not imply personal cowardice.” It ap- pears the historian intends to work for a reputation in future as a humorist. A BATTLE IN THE CLOUDS. UROPEAN diplomatists have for some ob- scure reason suddenly developed a lively de- sire to free themselves and their Governments a coalition against the United States to prevent the declaration of war against Spain. They have one and all avowed that a movement to effect such a coalition was started, but they deny emphatically that they had any hand in it, and assert that they refused to con- sent to it. Then in a vague way they intimate that they could tell who led in the movement if they chose to do so, and that they may tell if some other diplomatists do not keep quiet. All of this splutter about a bygone diplomatic futility and all of these professions of friendship for the United States are made with so much earnest- ness and in such evident belief that the American people are longing to know the truth that the af- fair is genuinely amusing. To us the issue is of no importance whatever. We are aware that just be- fore the declaration of war the Embassadorial dig- nitaries 2t Washington, with the dean of the corps at their head, marched in stately procession and sub- mitted to President McKinley a mild offer to inter- vene in the interests of peace, and President McKin- ley, with equal mildness, thanked them for the good- ness of their Governments and informed them that no intervention would be accepted. Then the pro- cession marched out again and dissolved into viewless air. That much we know, for it was done in public, and except for the gratification of curiosity, that is about all we care to know. Even did we have any earnest desire for the whole truth in the matter we would not pay much attention to the assertions of the diplomatists of Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia and the rest just now, for we are well aware that the aim of diplomacy is not to tell the whole truth. Lord Cranborne’s recent statement on the subject in the House of Commons is said by officials of the State Department at Washington to have been “strictly true as far a; it went.” The same may be said of the statements that have emanated from Ber- lin and from Paris. Perhaps the best and fullest statement we may ex- pect in this generation is that “which comes from Vienna. The Austrians frankly admit that they un- dertook to save Cuba to Spain, and that they tried to form a European coalition for that purpose. Their story is a plain one. The Queen Regent of Spain is an Austrian Archduchess. She applied to her rela- tives for assistance and the Austrian court set about doing the best it could for her. In describing what happened the Vienna story says: “France was ready to second the efforts of Austria. Germany and Rus- sia maintained a passive attitude. Great Britain was at first disposed to sign the proposed note, but after a confidential report from Washington declined either to sign such a note as the Austrian Embas- sador proposed or to take any further steps.” Finally, Austria abandoned her attempts and after the decla- ration of war relied “on the efforts of the Pope, who was backed by the tacit approval of all the powers.” Of course that story, like the rest, is true only so far as it goes. Austrian diplomatists are not likely to THE SAN FRANCISCO i plain the Government’s ,L, THURSDAY, matter of fact the chief obstacle in the way of a European coalition was the United States herself. We were saved by our own strength as compared Wwith the weakness of a divided and discordant Europe, and the victory in Manila Bay did more to put an end to Austria’s efforts than any confidence Austria had in the Pope. After all the whole wrangle is but a battle in the clouds. There is nothing of solid earth at stake on the issue. We are not holding any grudge against Austria or her good old Emperor for doing what he did, nor are we feeling any profound gratitude toward those who declined to assist him. There was a little cloud in the sky at the time, but it was never dangerous and it soon passed away, dissipated by the concussion of Dewey’s guns. Uncle Sam confronted it calmly then, and locks back upon it serenely now. “With malice toward none, but with charity to all,” he is willing to forgive and forget. Dewey, Miles and Schley are said to be willing to run for the Presidency on the Democratic ticket, but Josiah Quincy wishes a man of broadscholarship and Henry Watterson wishes a shockhead, and it is doubtful if either of the heroes can fill the double bill. B and from editorials upon them in leading journals of Moscow and St. Petersburg, the Literary Digest has compiled an interesting presen- tation of the trust problem as it appears in that em- pire. The industrial situation is quite different from that in the United States, and thereforeé it is the more curious that the same problem should have arisen in each. / Following the American plan the Russians have attempted to diversify their industries by building up home manufactures through the aid of protective tariffs. In this country agriculture is rich and pro- ductive. It has afforded a magnificent home market for all kinds of manufactures, and thus the protective system has worked beneficially from the start. In Russia, however, agriculture is backward; the peo- ple are ignorant of thé best methods of farming and the soil and climate are not so propitious as with us. Consequently the manufacturers have had but a scant market at home and have had to ask from time to time further assistance from the Government. The stimulus of Government assistance, however, has only increased the evil, until now the manufacturers ask the Government for a larger liberty of combina- tion in order to meet successfully the new difficulties that confront them. The request for permission to organize trusts has given rise to so much discussion that the Finance Ministry of the empire has felt it necessary to ex- position on the subject. Among other things it says: “If our men of af- fairs, realizing the lack of such complete adaptation and the imperfect character of their present organi- zation, shall see fit to seek a way out of their diffi- culties by means of co-operative and combined “ef- fort, the Ministry of Finance will place no obstacles in that path; but this attitude of the Ministry toward industrial combinations can be counted on only in case such combination is resorted t&® without either an avowed or secret intention to raise prices artifi- cially. In*any event such industrial consolidation must be the business of manufacturers themselves and must not depend on the encouragement or participa- tion of the Government.” The declaration of the Ministry has not been favor- ably received by pubiic opinion. It is argued in the first place that consolidation will tend to diminish the number of manufacturing enterprises in the em- pire and thus defeat the very object of the protective system, and on the other hand that it will amount to an injury to the agricultural classes. A journal edited by the professors of -Moscow University opposes the whole policy of artificial stimulation of manufactures and maintains that the Government should first build up agriculture. “Our export trade,” it says, *‘is wholly agricultural, and to the increase of such exports our attention must be first directed rather than to feverish, premature transplantation of industries with the aid of foreign capital, which have no foundation in our natural, social and economic conditions.” How far such views are correct it is not for us to say at this distance from the people whose industries are to be affected by the formation of trusts. American experience has proven that it is profitable to agriculture to build up home markets for agricul- tural products by encouragement to manufactures. It would seem, then, that the Russian Government has acted wisely in taking the course it has. Still one can understand that in a country whose economic conditions are so different from those of the United States a system which works well here might be dis- astrous there. Up to this time trusts have not in- jured the industrial prosperity of this country. They are looked upon as “threatening” evil rather than as having done any evil. It may be different in Russia, but it would seem the Finance Ministry has done well in deciding to permit such organizations as the men of affairs deem necessary for their good provided they do not look for governmental aid ‘nor organize with an intention to artificially raise prices.

Y translating from Russian official documents The New Haven Palladium asserts that wild geese that went south last fall are already returning north, and it argues therefrom that we shall have an early spring; but after all it may be that the geese have more sense than the average Florida tourist and know enough to get back before they are plucked. —_— One of the learned professors at Berkeley has reached the startling conclusion that all newspaper men are lost souls who must be barred from entrance to the sacred halls of learning.

The question whether this or that European power prevented a coalition against us on behalf of Spain may be interesting to them, but it did not matter much to us at the time, and now we do not care any- thing about it at all.
