CLEAR, CRISP AND 3LEAN
CLASS RULE?
THE Fresno Republican raises an
Issue that Is worthy of widespread
discussion when it declares that
"there is no such thing: as public
i opinion In a people divided into classes.'
It adds:
, '."Class opinion is not public opinion.
, Whatever the aristocracy thinks, the
proletariat is pretty sure to think th.s
- opposite, and the bourgeoisie will differ
• from both. The military class will as
sume as axiomatic what civilians reject
as outrageous, and the scions of old
birth will despise what the winners of
new wealth admire. On strictly class
questions this is, true everywhere and
always. ■ And when class lines get
drawn so tight that they include all
questions, then public opinion disap
pears. *-.-"■
••This moans that government by pub
lic opinion cannot survive the crys
■ tallization of classes. A mere major
ity; has no right to rule If that ma
jority consists of the more numerous
' class seeking to Impose. its class rule
on the other. Minorities will not sub
mit to that sort of majorities, 'and can
not be compelled to do so. Neither
will an Ignorant majority submit to an
'intelligent minority, if that minority
Is a class, though it will readily do so
if that minority is merely the indi
vidually most intelligent men. The
very foundations of popular government
are undermined, even its axioms ara
refuted, when class lines become Im
penetrable.
.' * "There are signs that this may hap
pen in America, unless we are aroused
coon enough to the danger to set our
selves i : firmly against it. The move
' ment ' has already begun, from both
ends, and made considerable progress.
It 'must not succeed. If it does there
are only two solutions. Either we
must have a governing class to rule
over the others, or we must have
: an interclass parliament, representing
classes rather than persons, and ruling
by compromise."
V The editor of the Fresno Republican
Is a thinker and a student, and his
'- opinions therefore have weight. His
' .ideas in regard to what may eventuate
in America, under certain contingencies,
have not been frequently expressed, by
himself or' by others, but this snould
not be taken to mean that because so
little smoke has been raised there is no
fire worthy of notice.
:';■ In one conclusion most thoughtful
'men will agree with this writer, and
that is his belief that "the very founda-
I tions of popular government are under
* mined, ' even its axioms are refuted,
■when class lines become impenetrable."
.It Is ; useless to deny many of the
points made In the articles of Impeach
■ ment ", he has drawn up. The whole
nation has come to recognle the fact
•that there has developed in America a
■. 'class spirit which Is inimical to genuine
popular government, though relatively
few Twill admit, probably, that popular
> government is a total farce as the re
1* sult of ', the 'growth 'of this spirit. ■ In
any event It will be difficult to convince
many intelligent men, we believe, that,
failing ' the ascendancy of a governing
■ -'class,! government ; will bo maintained
by compromise between the predomin
ating classes.
Rudolph Spreckels has Joined handi
with the good government forces now
at work in San Francisco and will ren
der euch service as he can in the effort
to rehabilitate that city. Inasmuch as
Spreckels and his forces are "making
good" in their efforts to bring to book
the criminals who for so long have de
fled the public in San Francisco, no
body who kueps po«ted will question the
>m_ of the .-o-operaflon between
. elements working for the re
nulne popular gov
fornla's metropolis.
NAVAL DISCIPLINE
IN* Russia the bureaucrats govern.
In the United States of America a
different order prevail". The con
stitution makes the president of th»
United States commander-ln-chlef of
the army and navy. It Is therefore
plainly to be seen that the course of
Admiral Brownson Is resigning his poet
In the bureau of navigation rather than
carry out the? orders transmitted to him
by his superior officer, the president, is
a proper subject of criticism.
In his If-tter to Secretary Metcalf of
the navy department. President Roose
velt takes the ground that the action
of Admiral Brownson was "unseemly
and Improper, nnd, coupled with the
various controversies among the officers
of the navy and their adherents as to
details of naval construction nnd
methods of training, has undoubtedly
been prejudicial to the Interests of the
navy and may seriously Impair confi
dence In the navj\ which Is essential to
secure the legislation «o sorely needed
by the navy."
The policy of the president in thus
publicly rebuking this bureaucrat calls
for the plaudits of the people. Discip
line in the navy Is essential to its wel
fare. "Without it there can be little
popular confidence in It. When an
officer In this department of govern
ment willfully resigns sooner than obey
the orders of the highest authority in
his department, he tacitly declares that
he does not hold himself amenable to
the discipline which he administers in
that branch of the service directly
under htm.
Men like Brownson reflect little credit
on the navy or any other branch of
governmental service. It is not strange
that the president should feel impelled
to declare, in discussing this case with
the secretary of the navy, that such
conduct as that exhibited by Brownson
and the other members of the clique
which is endeavoring to embarrass the
president "Is deeply mortifying to
every American who believes in the
navy and Is anxious to uphold its in
terests and heroes."
We have some evidence that the dis
ciplinarians of the navy need discip
lining themselves. The president will
be amply Justified if he order a careful
investigation into the methods employed
in this department to the end that
those who have been fomenting trouble
may be weeded out and the navy placed
on a basis which will promote greater
popular confidence in it. The remaining
months of the Roosevelt administration
doubtless will afford sufficient time in
which this general cleaning out of the
navy department may be effected and
if the president at this time adopt
drastic measures to increase the ef
ficiency of the service by punishing
those presumptuous and haughty of
ficials who regard themselves as beyond
the purview of executive authority no
reasonable man will protest.
WHEAT IS KING
THK London correspondent of an
American flour milling Journal
writes. In regard to the wheat
supply of the world:
•'The world's visible wheat supply
during November, 1907, decreased about
800,000 quarters, whereas in 1906 It In
creased 1.150,000 quarters and In 1905
about 2,600,000 quarters. The present
total of 15.700,000 quarters is the small
est since 1893. when the total (about 13,
--600.000 quarters) ,was the smallest on
record. In 1894 the total was over 25,
--000,000 quarters on December 4.
"The total Australasian crop Is likely
to come out at about 45,000,000 bushels,
against 66,151,000 bushels in 1906-7 and
68,520,000 bushels in 1905-6. From neither
Russia, Rojmania nor India are there
any offers of importance, so that Europe
is almost entirely dependent for Its
future supplies upon Argentina and the
United States. Argentina, as is well
known, cannot begin to ship freely of
new wheat until next February, but In
the meantime is rather pressing the sale
in anticipation of a big crop, which, of
course, has to be moved at once."
All of which is well calculated to
produce an expansion of the counten
ances of the American wheat growers.
The market for American wheat will
be strong and high prices will prevaU.
THE PERKINS MANIA
1"] HE "lid" Is off Senator Perkins'
lips. Five or six weeks ago, when
- the work of Ills Washington press
bureau for the present session of con
gress began, he veiled his attacks upon
the president In choice and not very
objectionable language. Week by week
he has grown bolder. Under date of
January 3 he writes as follows:
"Secretary Taft Injected a little life
into the presidential"situation by re
turning and getting into a campaign
that needed a stimulant, and he has
begun speeehmaklng, ostensibly in be
half of his candidacy,". but which ap
pears thus far to he simply a defense
of the president and an explanation of
what he meant when he was hot on
the trail of the trusts and other large
business organizations. It is very sig
nificant that Just before the secretary's
speech in Boston the textile manufac
turers of all Now England voted to cut
down the running time of all the mills
one-quarter, so that over a million peo
ple will find their means of subsistence
reduced 25 per cent. As this reduction
Is due to the financial situation, which.
it Is claimed by capital, is In turn due
in no small degree to the constant
and indlscrimlnatlng hammering which
large business organizations have re
ceived at the hands of the administra
tion, It may readily be seen that an ex
planation was in order." . ;
Hiding beneath the trusts and other
"large business organizations," Senator
Perkins "takes a fall" out of the presi
dent. Ha has not yet found It wise to
assail the executive more openly . than
has been ■ indicated in '_ these columns
heretofore, but he allows no opportunity
to strike at Roosevelt 'to escape him.
Thatr* Mr. _. Perkins ; takes pleasure *In
these raps at the head of the president

tion in dealing* with the manning of the

fleet as "most ill-advised, as tending
to the prejudice of the naval service."
Prom ths standpoint of the political
spoilsman he criticises ths policy of the
president In regard to civil service mat
ters, laying upon him the responsibility
of throwing out of employment sixty
two clerks, "many of whom are from
California," he explain!", who received
Jobs In Washington "through tho ef
forts of senators and representatives."
The Perkins literature is replete with
adverse criticisms of President Roose
velt, but a careful perusal falls to re
veal a single line In which the president
Is commended for anything he has
done. The pen of the senator from Cal
ifornia is a hammer. Incidentally It
may bo remarked that these letters,
which for three or four weeks were
sent through the malls under the Per
kins frank, are now covered by postage.
It would appear from this that Mr.
Perkins has received In the proper
spirit a suggestion from, some, source
that this style of denunciatory mattes-
Is hardly the kind of material which
should go through the mails under
the frank. Some of his friends
should suggest to him, also, that he is
monkeying with a buizsaw in sending
out letters of this stamp under any cir
cumstances. /
MEXICAN LUMBER
THAT American capital continues to
be poured into Mexico for the de
velopment of the resources of that
country Is indicated by a recent report
to Washington made by the American
consul general in the City of Mexico.
He states that a prominent American
has purchased near the capital 15,000
square meters of land which is to be de
voted to the establishment of lumber
yards greater in extent than any now
in that country. It is proposed by the
cmopany that has been organized to
keep in stock large quantities of native
Mexican lumber, the proposed buildings
to be sufficient to accommodate 8,000,000
to 10,000,000 feet of lumber and to com
pete as much as possible with foreign
importers. The company controls large
tracts of timber in the northwestern
part of the republic and has already en«
tered into arrangements for rates and
tariffs to New Tork, Liverpool and
Havre. It will probably export
through the port of Tampico. which is
rapidly becoming one of the great ex
port outlets of the republic.
Mexican lumber during the past few
years has been generally used In the
country and has successfully satisfied
the tests of railroad construction,
hence it is probable that If the new
company carries out its plans there
may be a noticeable decrease in Ameri
can exports of Oregon and Georgia pine
to Mexico. It is evident that if the
plans of this big company are consum
mated one of the most important in
dustries of the Pacic coast will feel the
effects. However, there are other mar
kets for Oregon pine, so the Webfoot
state need not fear that the ground is
about to slip from beneath its feet.
The Molokanes who recently have

would try to conform a trifle more
closely to the American style of dress.

The Wonderful Mother
of John Wesley
HUE remarkable man, whose mon

from one end of the world to
the other, and at his *eal, en

and are marveling still.
This wonderful man had a wonderful

Their weapon* never rusted;
When they got through

The Knabe Angelus
We know of nothing equal to the fascination of driving a
motor car—the perfect rhythm of its motion as it glides along
over smooth roads—the exultant feeling of the quivering
monster responsive to the lightest touch of guidance—the ex
hilarating, kaleidoscopic sweep of landscape, field, brook and
farm—unless it be the joy of playing the Knabe-Angelus.
You love music—of course —it's an instinctive passion
which you can gratify by means of the Angelus combined
with the Knabe Piano—both in one handsome symmetrical
case which occupies no more space than the usual piano. If
you play the piano, the player will not interfere at all with
your personal playing —it is Piano or Piano-Player-Piano,
just as you like—and you will enioy comparing your technique
and interpretation with the authoritative playine of the An
grlus. which is taken from the interpretations of masters.
Of course the "Melodant" attachment has contributed
largely to the individual supremacy of the Knabe-Angelus.
Call on us when down town and see this extraordinary
instrument.
