FI RTH'S SENTENCE
THE EMPIRE has no feeling at all against Jacob Furth. In
common with every good citizen it regrets exceedingly that
he was unable to convince a jury of his peers that his con
nection with the failure of the Shricker bank was not innocent
of crime. This much to show lack of prejudice. But, does it
not seem, when one considers all the facts of that case in the
light of the jury's verdict, that the trial judge had Mr. Furth's
millions in sight when he refused to impose a jail sentence and
fixed a fine so small that it could easily be paid by Furth's bank as
a commission on the collections it got out Shricker's bank after
Furth came to know that it was in an insolvent condition? Poor
Shricker had no money, and he went to the penitentiary. Did
it ever occur to some of these judges that they are responsible
in a large measure for the lack of confidence in the judiciary that,
in an unwarranted degree undoubtedly, obtains throughout the
country ?
Of course, no man that knows Judge Hardin can imagine
that any undue influence was brought to bear upon his court.
He is the soul of intergrity and probity, as nearly all of the
Judges on our benches are. But. apparently, he is not imune
from the awe that has developed for great fortunes in this money
grubbing age. At any rate he could not bring himself to think
of Furth in jail, while he probably regards it as the proper abode
for Shricker and many of the others that he has sentenced to
prison for offenses that are not so great as that of which Furth
was convicted.
At the beginning: of the special session of Congress Chair
man Underwood of the ways and means committee of the House
estimated that it would take the House of Representatives three
weeks and the Senate five weeks to pass the tariff bill. The
House has lived up to his guess, now it is up to the Senate to
complete its task in five weeks. If that is done the new tar
iff should be placed in operation, as now provided in the bill, on
August 1. and a new speed record for a general tariff bill will
have been established.
JAPANESE GAIN ONLY SHORT RESPITE
WHILE the Japanese have probably prevented for the time
being the passage of a bill by the California legislation
that will deprive them of the privilege of obtaining the
ownership of land, by insisting upon the observance by the
United States of the treaty rights of their country, that give
them the same privileges in the United States as citizens of
other countries have, except that of becoming American citizens,
their advantage is only temporary, if, indeed, it shall extend be
yond the present session of the California legislature. It is gen
erally conceded that Califoria will stop the acquision of lands in
that State by Japanese even if it shall become necessary to pre
vent the ownership of land by any alien in order to do so. There
ire just enough Asiatic natives in California to bring home to
ih ? people of that State the fact that conditions are not condu
v ? to happiness or good government where there is a mixture
ices. The unhappy conditions that prevail and have pre
vailed in the Southern part of our own country, as well as upon
N borderland of countries occupied by different races of peo
everywhere. should and must not be permitted to come to
upon the American Pacific coast. This country is a white
m in's country now and it must remain so.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says the need for more brains
in the Seattle police department is greater than the need for
more men. Others have suspected it.
SULZER AND MURPHY
AX OPEN fight between Gov. William Sulzer, of New York,
and Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany, is likely to
develop over the direct primary election law that was prom
ised the State by the Democratic platform upon which Gov. Sul
zer made his campaign. Recently Gov. Sulzer sent a special mes
sage to the legislature calling attention in plain language to the
fact that those elected had pledged themselves to the people of
New York to provide a direct primary election law; and that one
had not been passed though the legislative session is nearing its
end. It is said that the failure is due to the almost constant pres
ence of Murphy at Albany. No one understands the situation
better than Sulzer, and he has determined that the bill shall
pass. Murphy or no Murphy.
Sulzer's wrath at Murphy has been accumulating during
the entire legislative session. It was not appeased in the least
by Murphy's interference in behalf of Senator Stillwell. whom
Sulzer had asked to resign and whose seat in the Senate was
saved by the narrow vote of 28 to 21 upon the resolution to
expel him.
The New York World and other great newspapers of the
metropolis are supporting the Governor in his fight for the di
rect primary, and are advising him to demand the retirement
of Murphy from Tammany control. If he should make the de
mand, no doubt he would be supported by men high in that or
ganiation, and by a large percentage of its rank and file. The
Democratic Senate leader, Wagner, a member of Tammany, Sen
ator Foley, of that organization, and others supported him in
his fight on Stillwell, and they will, in all probability, go all the
way with him if it should become a fight to the end.
LANE'S IDEA OF CONSERVING
Secretary Lane, of the Interior De
partment. appreciates the needs of
the present day in favoring the im
mediate settlement and development
of agricultural lands. This is far bet
ter "conservation" than locking up
the' lands for the use of generations j
yet unborn.?Seattle Times.
An Honest Plea.
"Can I get off today?" asked the
office boy.
"Somebody dead in your family, I
suppose," rejoined the sarcastic em
ployer.
"No, sir. But we're threatened. I
don't think I'll survive if I don't feet
to see the ball game."
