HE man in the middle has concluded to defend I himself in the conflict between labor and capital irom both sides. i which he is getting all the kicks and cuffs At Fort Bragg the constantly re- curring controversies, in the lumber camps have dis- turbed trade and disorganized business to such an ex- tent that the general public has concluded to defend itself, assert its interests and combine to take care of them. When President Roosevelt took up the scttlement of the coal strike he declared that his motive was the’ | need of asserting the rights of non-combatants, lh‘e | people who were not coal miners nor coal operators, but the consumers of coal as one of the necessaries of |life. Standing in the matter as the representative {of that class, which far outnumbered the embattled | parties to the direct controversy, he was able to se- | cure an impartial arbitration, which seems to be the | beginning of the settlement of many important is- |sues involving individual rights and independence. | The Fort Bragg League carries out the President's |idea and proposes by organization to combine the power of the general public and to use it in vindica- |tion of the law and project it even into politics if ‘nrcvl be, in the assertion of the common rights of Its attention is turned first to the suppression of lawlessness in labor strikes. The whole country is getting aroused by the conditions of anarchy which lare a feature in every labor strike. Reckless men iy]n_\ upon the passions of strikers and they lose the | sense of discrimination between right and wrong. The incidents of | | After that chaos and crime follow. the lor be effectively dealt with by such a league. The law | has so far proved powerless to protect the persons of | workmen who, in pursuance of their legal rights, | have taken the place of the strikers, and the law is equally inefficient in protecting the property of the | telephone company. | The general public are the victims of these condi- | tions. Unfortunately the law is throttled by misuse |in the hands of the officers elected to administer it. In Oakland a non-union lineman was murderously beset by a dozen cowardly strikers and in defense of bis life drew a pistol. His assailants, who had broken irhc law in threatening and attacking him, caused his arrest for defending himself and a police magistrate | fined him with the alternative of imprison- ment. Now,, in morals this is just the same as if to murder him, driven off by a intended victim a gang of highwaymen beset a man |as an incident of robbery, and when | pistol ask the court to punish their | for defending himself. [ the punishment inflicted by the magistrate a direct incitement to further violation of the law. is | One young man lies in an Oakland hospital nearly | | beaten to death in broad daylight by a gang of strik. ers because he stood upon his right to work for | whom he pleased. The owners of buildings upon | which there may be a plexus of telephone wires are { told by strikers that they are sent by the company to see to repairs. Gaining admission to the roof by this ideceprion they cut the wires and disuse all the tele- ‘phones in that part of the system. Their presence |on the building is-a trespass and cutting the wires sequences. These things mean anarchy and it is the i dium of official authority that by such decisions as that of the Oakland police magistrate the protec- |tion of the law is removed from those who obey |the law and its violators are encouraged in their | defiance. Not only in loss and inconvenience does the general public suffer, for its interests are endang- |ered by having passionate and criminally disposed | men taught that the law cannot restrain them. One need not seek far afield for the motive of the | police magistrate. He is catering for votes. He has :nn fear of the great unorganized middleman, who for lack of organization does not know what hurts him, but only knows that he is hurt. Let Oakland have such an organization as the Fort Bragg League with | votes far outnumbering those of the law breakers land their sympathizgrs and its members bound by an | obligation to enforce the law against all violators, |and the same vote-sniping magistrate will find that it {is to his interest to be mindful of his oath and so en- | force the law as not to encourage its violation. One significant and hopeful sign is that in Fort | Bragg many members of labor unions have joined They are men with families, | with hostages given for law and order, who have no sympathy with felony and misdemeanor and hold their American citizenship above all other things.

Lipton, however, can with some show of justice ask his countrymen to pay the jam tax with contented hearts since h¢ has left the price of tea as it was and placed no tax on the cup that cheers at a moment when it is the only thing British that has a cheer left in it. Among the revelations in the investigation of the failure of the Eppingers is a startling one which shows that in the affairs of the defunct firm barley, by some mysterious influence and manipulation, was changed instantly into wheat. And in the slow but inevitable, unrelenting progress of legal prosecution, this wheat is now throwing ominous shadows of prison cells. SOCIALISTS IN THE EAST. S a rule the annual convention of the universal Apcace congress does not attract much atten- tion outside of the narrow circle of those who fondly believe that by holding conferences and adopt- | ing resolutions they can stay the mad spirit of war and bring about the disbandment of armies and the abolition of navies. This year, however, the meet- ing of the convention at Mystic, Connecticut, has been found interesting for a peculiar reason. It seems the convention was virtually captured by Socialists and converted into a Socialistic conference. Popular interest in the development of Socialism among the universal peace advocates is due to the fact that of late years the growth of Socialism in many of the Eastern States has been sufficiently not- | able to give the voters of that creed a marked influ- ence in politics. In some States the Socialists hold the balance of power in many municipalities and have been able to elect a good many candidates for important offices. By reason of these demonstra- |tions of strength nearly everything that tends to | throw light on the growth or the purposes of the | Socialist organization is studied with no little care | by practical politicians as well as by sociologists. | Hence the interest displayed in the reports of the appearance of Socialistic orators among the leaders of the peace convention. As a result of the new influence in the conference the subjects of discussion were in many instances oi a kind utterly unknown at former peace conven- tions. Among them were “The Single Tax,” “Indus- trial Peace” and kindred topics that suggest domes- tic politics rather than international peace. It was noted also that just outside the entrance of the park where the sessions of the congress have been held for years there was painted on 2 mammoth boulder set in the hillside above the heads of all passers along the road the bold inscription “Socialism is Coming.” | A report of the proceedings as a whole says: “The session was marked by the advent of a large number of speakers of the Socialist cule and the trend of thought was at times distinctly Socialistic.” The capture of the peace congress is looked upon as a part of the general Socialistic propaganda which is now progressing in all parts of the East and which has become strong enough to constitute a genuine political force in New England, New York, Pennsyl- | vania, New Jersey and Illinois. In reviewing their | work the Philadelphia Public Ledger says: “The prop- agandists work chiefly among the laboring men, es- pecially in the mining and manufacturing centers; they do not confine their efforts of perversion to the ordinary political campaign periods, but main- | tain their pernicious activity throughout the year, holding small meetings or pressing their opinions upon little groups of workingmen, or even seeking out individual voters to induce them to accept the Socialistic creed. Latterly they have carried cam- paigning into the agricultural districts, sending their spellbinders to the farmers’ social gatherings to dis- | seminate their doctrine.” There is no danger of a Socialistic triumph in any American State, but the cult may become as danger- ous at some time as did the cult of Populism during the hard times that followed the panic of 1893. The growth of the new party is therefore a matter of serious portent, for American conservatism may some day have to reckon with it when it will have | the support’of all the discontented radicals of the | big cities and be a formidable fou | Several soldiers and petty officers of the German army have been arrested on a charge of selling some of the army secrets of the Kaiser. Men involve them- selves in serious trouble sometimes for very little or nothing. D e — THE MAYOR'S SPEECH. BIG REWARD FOR FINDING A MOUNTAIN PASS TACOMA, Sept. 3.—The Bellingham Bay and British Columbia Railroad has agreed to pay $6000 to the discoverer of the pass through the Cascades through which the road will pass in building its Spokane extension, now under comstruction. The chief value of the pass is that it is lower than either Btampede Pass, used by the Northern Pacific, or Stevens Pass, by which the Great Northern crosses the Cascades. The company has pald the dis- coverer of the pass $500, and s to pay the balance when the surveys prove ab- solutely that it is lower than any pass now used by transcontinental lines. D. O. Miils, P.

PAY CHUTE IS FOUND IN THE MADDOX MINE Shasta County Men Reported to Have Made a Discovery Near ‘Whiskytown. REDDING, Sept. 3.—John Leveck and Joe Bember have encountered the lost pay chute in the old Maddox mine, near ‘Whiskytown, and they are now consider. ably elated over the splendid showing that has just been made In this famous mine, on which they have a working bond. The Maddox mine is situated on Mad- dox Creek, a branch of Whisky Creek, and is about five miles from Whisky- town. Operations began on the property twenty-five or thirty years ago, and the original locator of the claim took out over $10,000 in three days, using an old- fashloned horse arrastra. The chute was encountered in a drift sixty feet in on the lower level and 600 feet below the apex, which is 300 feet below the old workings of the mine. The ore carries an average value of $600 per ton and the body is ex- tensive, the pay chute averaging over two feet in width. ———— Fire Destroys a Shingle Mill. ST.

Next Sunday Call’s Arl Supplement. Here is the majesty of power, the very sublimity of persomal grandeur, the physical dominance, the keen, eternal watchfulness, the calm superiority of the jungle. In the original this picture is such a masterpiece of color that it is a shame, a positive impertinence, to attempt to reproduce it by any other process but the original. As an art creation it is world famous, not merely because the animals are drawn with such wonderful fidelity to life, but be- cause of that other and far more difficult art—the art of reproducing the tawny hue of the “King of Beasts” in all its rich splendor. Go to any zoo where a lion is to be seen and study him for yourself. Try then to imagine yourself making a picture of him without losing any of that latent force that créeps in every muscle beneath that smooth, glossy hide, and you will understand what not only the artist who painted this picture has done, but what the lithographer who reproduced this especially for the Sunday Call's picture" supplements has done ever so much better, and that is to show “Leo and Leonora” in all those rare, yellow, pale brown and tan tints which nature has so cunningly blended into the most perfect skin worn by any beast of the forest. ¥ But it is not alone in the coloring that this picture is so attractive. It is indeed more for the sentiment that pervades it that the painting has become so famous. There is a message for lovers. While his mate sleeps, he keeps guard that her slumbers may be undisturbed: And “Leonora,” secure in the strength, the' eternal mastery of “Leo’s” protection, .slumbers in the peace of perfect secutity.

Those percentages of the world's population cannot be relied upon to take always 75 .per cent of our increasing surplus product and ac- cordingly it is a plain business duty to begin to look -out’ for new markets Having thus stated the problem the Secretary went on to say there have been three solutions proposed. Free traders recommend that we open our markets to foreigners in the hope that the foreigners will return “the compliment and open their markets to us. Reci- _pmcn& men suggest the adoption of a system of - international treaties by which, through an exchange of courtesies, we can get something from the foreign- er by giving something in return. Neither of those solutions can be accepted, for by following either we should have to give more than we receive and lose - more than we gain. However valuable foreign mar- . » kets may be, the home market is better. To the third solution—that of expanding our for- “eign markets by building up our merchant marine— thé Secretary turns and finds it to be the only one | acceptable. He says: “If we ever secure the trade - of the countries to which I have referred, we will '_ first secure regular lines of communication with these . countries, and if we ever secure these lines assistance must be afforded. Do not misunderstand me. I am not mourning the defeat of any ship subsidy bill, but 1 shall mourn exceedingly the defeat of a bill, if any such shall ever be introduced, which, if enacted, would insure regular lines of American ships, flying the American flag and carrying American merchants and commercial travelers with their ware$ and merchan- dise, the product of American labor, into those coun- _tries to which I have referred. Such a bill must offer special advantages to ships plying between our ports ind countries where our trade is undeveloped.” a display of our woods. In this field we should particularly make a favorable impression, as there is practically no question that we are the peer of all American States in the variety of our woods. Lraised the price of jam, and now throughout the British Isles there is lamentation and woe. A breakfast without jam is almost as unknown in Old England as a breakfast without beans in New Eng- Jand and as a consequence the added penny to the price of a jar jars well nigh every family that is able to afford a breakfast. i The suggestion that Lipton raised the price of jam for the purpose of recouping his losses on his yacht- ing ventures is natural, but is hardly well founded. Lipton is a true sport. He took to yachting for joy and for glory, for the delight of meeting Ameri- can sports on the deep, blue sea and sailing a swift race o'er the ocean wild when the salt wind whistles free and the jolly, jolly mariners lead a strenuous life of song and plum duff. He did not take to yachting to raise the price of jam. Doubtless he looks with sincere sorrow upon the coincidence that has brought the rise in jam just at the moment when his yacht was defeated and the jam eating Britons should sym- pathize with him rather than to swear at him from jamless jaws. How many jars of jam the Lipton factories turn out has not been stated, but the jars must be numerous and a penny a jar means a big sum. The contrast between the amount and the yacht is the more strik- ing because just at this time the yacht seems like thirty cents. Surely it was for no such yacht as the defeated Shamrock ITI that Sir Thomas Lipton has slipped on the iipped jam jars of England a tax of a penny a jar. Had the Shamrock won the raise in the price of Such is the conclusion of the argument.

His absolute leadership of the convention of his party was affirmed by his appear- ance before it on Wednesday night. Apparently all factions are under his feet and he has aroused such a lively expectation of personal benefits to come from his second administration that every personal ambition among his people is the servant of his purpose. These conditions have appealed to his astute- ness in politics. He wrote his Republican letter when his own party was in a faction fight. His speech to his convention was made over the dead body of faction and its inspiration was quite different from that of his letter. In that speech he said: “There have been several efforts to divide this party. There have been well meaning individuals who thought the Labor Union party was not to be per- petuated and that probably it would be better to fuse with one of the old parties,” and there he stopped, leaving it to be understood that fusion, indorsement | or any make or meddle with the old parties had been | pushed out of focus. This indicates that he feels no need of Republican tonic and that he is con- | ‘scious of ample strength to go ahead without it. Republicans are not much given to fusion any- way, nor to indorsement of candidates nominated by others, and we are sure that they would rather prefer, if the necessity seem great enough, to origin- ate a common movement to oppose a united front of San Francisco citizenship to Mayor Schmitz, than kneel to him on his own terms, LIPTON'S JAM TAX IPTON has failed to lift the cup, but he has Caleb Powers must hangmmurdcr of Gov- ernor Goebel.
