HARRIMAN'S QUEER LITERARY BUREAU MR. HARRIMAN is paying out good money to give himself a certificate of good moral or, at least, good commercial character. He maintains a queer literary bureau for the purpose of salting public opinion. It would be unkind to say that this is the tribute that vice pays to virtue. We have never shared the opinion that Harriman is all bad. He is a great railroad builder, and he makes money out of rail roads legitimately as well as illegitimately. We quote from one of his literary attorneys: The Union Pacific c seemed hopeless. But not to Harriman. His asso ciates, notably Mr. Jacob H. Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., have freely ad mitted that after they had bought control of the road their faith^ did not go so far that they were willing to put up huge additional sums for improve ments. Before Mr. Harriman had finished what may be called the pre liminary rebuilding of the property, however, he had spent $20,000,000.. This money cut down grades, reduced curves, bought new equipment Harriman's associates, many of them, never believed the money would ever come back until they saw it. It is coming back now in such amounts that when the famous 10 per cent dividend was declared people thought there must be something- wrong about it. Let all that be admitted. Let us add that he has rebuilt the Central Pacific road in the same thorough fashion, and that he is making money out of both properties. Let us add that Harriman behaved to the stricken people of San Francisco last year in a generous and large hearted fashion. We need no absurd literary bureau to tell us these things, and we resent it as an insult to the intelligence when the attempt is made to prove that there is only side of Harriman. In a word, Harriman's literary bureau is not only useless, but even a positive injury to himself. ;Z 1 . , What shall we think of a showing that ignores the Chicago and Alton deal, the most flagitious and cold blooded example of stock watering and overcapitalization that financial history records? We resent an account of Harriman that leaves out of consideration his use of Union Pacific as an agency for . private speculation in stocks. That was the gravest charge made against the life insur ance managers that they used the corporate funds to promote their personal profit, and Mr. Harriman, by the way, was one of those who made the charge. Mr. Harriman was asked by the interstate commerce commis sion to give particulars of his private concern in Union Pacific speculations. He refused to answer. That refusal is more eloquent than all Mr. Harriman's hired literature. . If he will take a piece o£ disinterested advice he will promptly discharge his literary bureau. It only puts a stick in the hands of his enemies, among whom The Call must not be included. We stand always ready to give him oredit when he does well, but we resent an attempt to treat the people like fools. ii _ _ ...... NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT NOTHING in President Roosevelt's administration has been more in line with public good than the radical change in policy regarding government lands. In former years the public domain was regarded as fair game by every plunderer, and it is notorious that this state of mind prevailed in the land office as well as outside. Indeed, it is not quite certain that the department has even yet been wholly purged. That will come in time. The important thing is the radical change in policy, of which the keynote is that the public domain, the, lands and forests and mineral deposits, shall be handled in a businesslike manner, with a view first to a wise conservation of these resources and secondly to a fair return to the treasury for property patented to pri vate owners. \u0084 * It is quite natural that this sweeping change of policy should have provoked the bitter hostility of great numbers of influential people '\ who had profited by the dishonest administration of the public domain and expected to be permitted to proceed with the game. That is the meaning of the forthcoming land conference to beheld in Denver this month. All the timber thieves and the coal land" thieves and their political agents in the United States senate, and the; house of representatives will be there to mak^e attack 'all alpngjthe ; line on the administration, under the specious plea that the new policy is hindering development of the country. r , . . k The president is known 'to take advanced ground on the con-; fervation of..mineral deposits, and in a striking passage of his speech at Norfolk on Monday he had this to say on the subject : v ; The mineral' fuels of the eastern United States have already passed into the hands of large private owners and; those: of J.thei.west . are rapidly following. This should not be, for such mineral belong, in- a peculiar degree to the whole people. Under private cohtrbr there is much waste from shortsighted methods of working, and- the 'complete utilization is often sacrificed for a greater immediate profit. - The mineral fuels under 1 our present conditions are as essential to our prosperity as* the forests will always be. The difference is that .the supply is definitely^. limited,'^for coal does not grow and trees do. It is obvious thatTthe mineral fuels should be conserved, not wasted, and that enough ; of "them ? should remain '^ in % the hands of the government to protect the people .. against .? unjust i or,; extor- ! tionate prices so far as, that can still be done. What has been accomplished in the: regulation^ of .the great oil fields of Indian territory/ overs' a- striking example of the' good; results' of such a policy. Last summer, accordingly, 1. withdrew most of the; coal bearing public lands "temporarily; from "disposal and asked for the legislation necessary to protect the public .interest •"\u25a0by the conservation of the mineral fuels;' that is, for. the; power. to keep the fee in the government and to lease the coal, oil- -and' gas; rights'; under^ proper : regulation*'; No such legislation was passed, but, l; stilK hope that ;we shall ultimately get it. , • . Undoubtedly)- we -shall; get such legislation: It is in the line: of honesty and the public good, but we shall.'not get it without a, fight It will be worth while to keep an eye on the course of the Deiv ver conference. EDITORIAL PAGE San Francisco Stands J ustif ied Before the World AT the end:of [manymonths of tr^ail such as no city has ever experienced^ after drinking the last bitter dregs the cup of the most humiliating shame ever placed at the lips of a proud; municipality, after baring to the scorn of jealous rivals all the deepdegradation of her base betrayal by her trusted sons, San Francisco once more stands with head erect, justified before the world.' ... After nine days of patient listening to all the testimony "given both by the prosecution and the defense, after a full and fair opportunity hadtbeen given the ac cused to refute the charges made, and after careful consideration of the lkw and the evidence, twelve citizens of Sau Francisco have declared Eugene E. Schmitz.their mayor and honored servant, guilty^ of the crime of extortion. : A jury of his peers, selected with full regard for all /the rights i of the defendant, without equivocation and without haggling, has found and has so declared to the nations .that Mayor Schxnitz was the willing partner of Abe Ruef in his contemptible crimes and has placed upon him^^'to stigma his^ base ingratitude has merited. ; '.."-" ') That Schmitz will appeal his case is admitted. That he will resort to every technicality, that he will test every trick and device known to the most skillful law yers his ill gotten wealth can hire, in th& hope of escaping prison, makes no difference in the judgment which has been put upon him by 1^ Yesterday San Francisco with humbled head fought with the courage of the Spartans for regeneration; Today she stands proud brow looks the world eye to eye while she pays grateful tribute to the men who have saved that honor which is dearer to her than priceless jewels. To the men of the prosecution who have kept steadfastly at their task against criticism and obstacles which would have daunted the 'less courageous, she acknowledges a debt which Js be yond payment save by their '-realization that the pride they have given back to their beloved city they have given back to themselves. They are her well beloved children, and while theirs is the accomplishment, they also share in the result. To Francis J.Heney, to Rudolph Spreckels, to William H;Langdon, to William J. Burns to Hiram' W. Johnson, to C. W^Cobb; to J. J. Dwyer, the mother city extends her arms with tears of gratitude. On the devoted head of the first named of these she places the laurel in token of her appreciation of the master mind that directed the fight for her salvation.^ Share and share i alike/ San Francisco pays each of them every honor and their names adorn a page in her history to which she ever will turn with pride. No one of them can rob his brother of his just due, as no one of these men of broad minded, high aspiring human fiber would wish to do. That the figure of one stands to the fore in the final summing up of the forces that have made for victory in this great battle for civic righteousness is the generous pride of the members of a faithful and loyal staff in the genius of the general whose glory they share. The tire less devotion to the work he had undertaken for the city's salvation, the undaunted faith in the outcome which ever was an inspiration to his associates^ the unflagging zeal with which he pursued the enemies of the municipality through all their devious ways, and the masterly summing up of the case before the jury with which he capped the work of months, give to Francis J.Heney a place in the heart of every loyal son of San Francisco from which he can never be effaced^ And to the members of the^ jury Sany Francisco) no less offers both hands and/ a full heart; h Equally deep iin the tablets^of her f^e engraves these names among those of the faithful: CHARLEiS;S^ BENSON, LEOPOLD WEIL, PAUL BANCRO^ JOHN O'MARA, THOMAS ELRICK, JAMES ROYAL W. CUD WORTH, HUGH BURNS, GEORGE 'DE URIOI^ sibility. (Dhosen above all their /fellow^citizens to sit^ in^judgment in the gravest crisis in the city's history, sworn to do even justice alike, to the accuser and the accused, beset with the knowledge that no common thief occupied the; prisoners' dock and that the most powerful interests in the nation sought his acquittal, assured that the favor of kings might be the reward* of faithlessness oi even one of their number and that piti less pursuit by a ruthless and powerful enemy bade fair it took no ordinary courage on the. part of these twelve to /stand out unhesitatingly for the people. Guardians of the' city's honor, vthey fell not nor stumbled. The end is not yet, but; the initial victory points the way and brings confusion to the hordes of graft and corruption from which they can in no possible way re cover. The questipn, "Where stands San /Francisco?!'^ can no^^longer be met with a sneer or a doubt. Proudly the answer has been heralded to the world, in the words of the Psalmist, "Behold, and see the reward of the wicked." ; ;C THE California Northeastern.; a branch of the Southern Pacific from Weed, will be opened for another 20 miles from Grass lal:e to Orrs lake about July 15.

She is very € the Boy Rapturist aVX thotightful of the welfare of the hum blest m'emfe^r, and when they go on tour she pays for the sleepers of all the girls.who do not have such luxuries included in their contracts with the man agement. As a rule small salaried thespiarfs do not take Pullmans on the one night stand tours, for the item of expense is too great when deducted from the wage. Miss Adams takes a personal interest in the girls in her company. • There is no Broadway star whom the New York juveniles love as they do Maude Adams. Her features are familiar to every New York child who has. ever been. inside a theater. I remember one afternoon she entered a streetcar during the lengthy ran of "The Little Minister." A little boy who sat opposite with his mother did not at first recognize the little lady in demure gray, but when he did it was wonderful to'sce the beatific expres sion that lighted up his freckled face. In a loud whisper he said: "Oh, ma, there, is the Little Minister." The whisper naturally directed other eyes to the quiet figure of the actress, and probably for an instant she regretted her popularity. ' - D . * V*. There isn't so much profit In a port warden's massing OT me job as there was 20 years ago, and there Old Port Wardens are no t so many prominent politicians after these positions in the governor's gift as there were when the salary and fees seldom came. 1 within less than $500 a month. The late Joseph Aastin was port warden here for a succession of terms, but Governor Perkins finally objected to leaving a democrat in office when there were so many republi cans awaiting reward for campaign service, and. Aastin -was deposed. He remained an unofficial warden, however, for some time afterward, for the steamshipmen fliked him- and gave his examinations of their .vessels prefer ence over those of the governor's appointees. Port wardens of the old days were for the most part genial souls who spent their easily earned salaries with large minded generosity. They were popular with the stevedores and sea captains alike, and the wardens who had the oriental ships to examine usually were loadeddown with gifts of tropical fruits and other products of the far countries. It may be the same now, but I have heard that there is nothing much in a port warden's office nowadays but hard work.
