MR. 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.

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.

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^

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 INSIDER
Tells ot the kindliness of Maude Adams
toward members of her company and ex
plains why port wardenships are not
sought by politicians
. • j TV fl-AUDE ADAMS is adored by every
Maude Adams and M member of her company. 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.
