ERY AFTERNOON Waahtn fries at Benttle Worered at the erm -~ RUEF FOUND GUILTY was not shed in vain and The blood of Francis J, Heney even the tragic passing out of the poor without effect for the betterment of the graft-ridden city of San retch Haas was not Francisco, for Abe Ruef, arch-grafter, has been convicted of one of his innumerable crimes It was a sore price to pay and a ghastly bargain, involving attempted murder, two suicides and several dynamitings, to- gether with cndless toil and expense on the part of the prose cution, but who can say but what jt was worth it? The news that a jury had actually brought in a verdict against Ruef was almost stunning, in spite of the fact that every man, woman and child who had been able to maintain sufficient interest in the long drawn-out case to know anything about it was morally certain of his guilt. Ruef, with the whole weight of the state of. California pressing against him, had been able for nearly three: years to bold his ground and not give a single inch. And this, too, after having voluntarily signed a confes sion admitting he was a grafter, and tearfully bemoaning his guilt in open court. His associates in crime told the minute details of his iMegal transactions and a case was built up of doves tailing evidence by Heney that would have been sufficient to hang a man under ordinary circumstances. Yet had it not heer for the maniacal deed of Haas, it is doubtful if the verdict of yesterday rnoon would have been “guilty.” Gratified as the public must be at this untoward turn of events, congratulatory exuberance is restrained by the know! edge that, while declared guilty by a jury, Abe Ruef is still without the prison walls, and public apprehension as to the out come in the court of first instance will only be intensified by speculation as to the decision of the supreme court of Cali fornia. igfaction, to the case of Schmitz, who at identical predicament of Ruef.

' PULL FOR THE COAST “Gentlemen, we must all habg together!" said John Han- bck as he put the final flourish to his signature on the Declara- tion of Independence. + “If we don't,” put in Ben Franklin, “we shall all hang Meparately.”” b That grim old jest, which helped to link the 13 original Atlantic states into a powefful union, ought to be flashed from capital to capital of the seven Pacific states—California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho; Utah, Nevada and Arizona. It isn't a joke im 1908, any more than it was in 1776 It ought to be writ large at the top of the Declaration of Inter-dependence of these seven far western commonwealth. For the purpose of upbuilding their commercial and indus- trial interests, and for forcing congress to make appropriations to safeguard the Coast states and cities, they must all hang to- getherg or they may go hang. Amongst the commercial bodies of these states a mighty Movement is on foot to form a commercial federation binding them to bury all jealousies and to pull together for the cam- mon good. We tse the words “on foot” advisedly, because Fates are too high for it to go by rail, and our merchant marine having been gobbled by the Japs, and the whole American navy having been hogged by the Atlantic states, there's no chance for it to go by water. But, though oa foot, the movement is fall of ginger and gaining momentum at every jump. Nearly 150 commercial organizations of the Pacific Coast, imcluding Alaska, Hawaii and the Philippines, are now taking up the proposition of working in harmony for the good of all these sections, and for swinging their 14 U. S. senators and 30 congressmen into line in support of the demands and necessities of the Coast states. California led off in this get-together movement. At Los Angeles, on Nov. 14, the counties’ committee of the California promotion committee adopted the following resolutions “Whereas, All of the states of the Pacific slope hold peculiar attractions for the tourist and pleasure and health secker, and with proper exploitation these attractions would bring ma: tourists to this part of the United States whose attention is now directed elsewhere ; and, “Whereas, California benefits by all advantages belonging to the states on the Paciiic slope, and anything that helps to de- velop either or all of these states is of assistance in the develop- ment of California; therefore, be it “Resolved, ‘That it is the sense of this meeting that concert- ed effort should be made to bring about a United Pacific states working in harmony for the general good of all. “Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed by the chairman of the California promotion committee for the purpose a working out a plan whereby such a community of interest may be fostered between the states of California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Nevada and the territory of Arizona and a combination of these commonwealths be brought about. The five members appointed for California, to co-operate with similar committees from the other six United Pacific states, are; Geo. W. Pierce, chairman, Davisville, Yolo county. Philo J. Beveridge, Hollywood, Los Angeles county. George Walker, San Francisco. J. M. Perry, Stockton, San Joaquin county. E. E. Skinner, Eureka, Humboldt county Here is a partial list of the big and vital things which these committees and the people generally of the Coast states will pull for: Maintaining a fleet of warships on the Pacific Coast Developing a merchant marine in the Pacific Dredging and improving the harbors of Puget sound and of|the leading tady, dreamily the Oregon and California coasts. Constructing and completing three great navy yards, equal to those on the Atlantic coast—one at Bremerton, one at Mare Island and one at San Diego. Fortilying Puget sound, San Francisco, Pearl harbor, Ha- waii, San Diego and other points subject to naval attack. Deepening the channels and conserving the water supplies of the Columbia, Sactamento and San Joaquin rivers, Irrigation and reclamation of arid lands. Conservation of the forests, Building good roads, ‘Tarifi revision in the interests of the Coast producers and free trade with the Philippines. It is a big program, but its vital importance to the safety and prosperity of the whole people of the Coast states and terri- tories will make it go through, though it take months and @ steady hammering.
