A STREET RAILWAY PARALLEL
THE uses that a traction company may have for a corps of
private detectives, such as the United Railroads employs in
this city, find illustration in the testimony taken before the
public service commission in New York -concerning the
scandalous stock watering and juggling with franchises by the
Interborough-Metropolitan system of thar city. In San Francisco
we see a similar bureau employed in suborning perjured testi
mony and kidnaping witnesses and supporters of the prosecu
tion of street railway officials. In New York there is evidence
that the traction officials \u25a0. spent as much as $200,000 shadowing
and trailing Mr. William N. Amory, who was described by Quigg,
the street railway lobbyist, as "the most persistent and able of
the company's enemies." Among other forms of industry prac
ticed by this secret bureau, they trumped up charges! on which it
was hoped that the district attorney might be persuaded to insti
tute criminal proceedings against Amor)'-, but these had so little
foundation that the prosecuting attorney refused, to act and threw
them out with contempt. . ;
The extensive character of this espionage was described by
Mr. Amory. On one Sunday in 1903 he drove uptown in the
afternoon, and he was able to count eleven detectives, including
two women, shadowing him. They employed three different cabs;
two rode on horseback and one had a bicycle. Frequently Mr.
Amory discovered that his telephon* wires had been tapped, and
once he caught a man in the act of connecting, a wire in his back
yard. The most serious charge made by Mr. Amory is that his
mail was tampered with by the detective bureau. He testifies
\:zX whenever he. mailed a letter a yellow envelope was dropped
in the box immediately afterward by one of the detectives, so that
its approximate position might be located later. This accusation
of tampering involves a postoffice inspector and a district super
intendent. If these charges can be substantiated they go far to
justify Amory's definition of the New York Metropolitan com
pany as "the most dangerous, the most vindictive and the most
powerful influence at work in this (New York) community."
Like causes produce like /effects. ;> The significance of the
New York disclosures for San Francisco lies in the fact that when
a corporation starts on a criminal career it does not stop at bribery
of public officials and the corrupt purchase of franchises. One
form of crime inevitably entails the commission of other crimes.
A CONCERTED MOVEMENT
MR. E. W. WILSON, a banker of this city, just returned
from New York, gives a rather : amusing account of his
experiences in Wall street, which goes to bed every night
cursing Roosevelt. "Wall street," says Mr. Wilson, "is
in a blue haze," doubtless flavored with brimstone. The country
is going to the dogs and Roosevelt is driving, the wagon. Presi
dent Ripley of the Santa Fe ; orders all new work stopped.' Har
riman follows suit and lays off all the men he can possibly spare.
It is a concerted movement to damage Roosevelt and hamper the
accomplishment of his policies. *
Wall street feels that way because Roosevelt has put a stop
to the stock jobbing game for the present. Issues of inflated
capital fall dead on the market. Several big underwriting syndi
cates are carrying a mass of "undigested securities"" that were
issued before the investigations of the interstate commerce com
mission exposed the nature and methods of the game.
But Mr. tells us, further, that in the middle west
business is good. The crops are moving and there is ample money
to do it. In Chicago there is no feeling of despondency. As for
San Francisco, Mr? Walter J. Bartnett writes in the New York
Evening Post: r * : . / .
To those who do not, know the spirit of the people it seems no less
than marvelous that the city has held her business in this masterly way
Her merchants and others have actually done everything that a great city
xs designed to do, in shacks and other temporary structures, and done It
without delay. The proof of this lies in the bank clearings, the customs
receipts, the harbor charges and dues, the tonnage of the port and' the post
emce receipts. The city is there to stay. Her people know* this and they
for the most part realize the magnificent future before her.
If there are doldrums in Wall street the causes are' easilv
understood, but Wall street is no longer the whole country^ Reck
less issues of capital for stock jobbing and speculation of the sort
exposed by the interstate commerce commission are bringing their
own punishment.
-AN UNHAPPY OBLIQUITY
THE deplorable behavior of the Vancouver mob makes sore
embarrassment, not only for British and' Canadian journals
but likewise for Japanese publicists. One of these 'latter*
writing for a New -York paper, observes that "Japanese gen
tlemen and others residing in New York are making very secretive
about attacks on their people in Vancouver, because it is not
proper to be critical to noble allies. All Japanese -in this city
believe that it is most unfortunate that noble ally's people in Van
couver shall have attacked our people." This respect -for "noble
ally" made the writer's fellow countrymen "express their minds
.obliquely." No matte^ how they felt, there -: were no insults nor
(reproaches for "noble ally/ In illustration of: this obliquity
ivvc quote: „ • , - ' ;
.1 am greatly griefed over our noble ally's colonial men in that Van
; couver barbarous place. \ It is worse than the: San Francisco precincts.' But
unfortunately! Japanese men cannot' express "opinions *at \ this time,* because • it
! would not be diplomacy to Ulk rash agaiost noble ally who has stretched
EDITORIAL PAGE
hand of friendship. across the Suez canal and embraced fair Nippon about
her waist to make her sister of the biggest nations: of the world. But if it
would be diplomatic to say something in circumstance maybe we would.
,It is, perhaps, fortunate that this distressing necessity for
obliquity of expression does not ; cover San Francisco. They can
say what they please about this city and nobody minds. Because,
when, we see "noble ally" with one arm around fair Nippon's
waist and with the other' punching ;her in the ; jaw, -* it seems as
if the lady might, have got her head into chancery.' But we hope
there wilK be no unpleasant or oblique feeling > when the; British
cupid puts in a stiff jolt. They can feel as obliquely as they please
about San Francisco. Our^withers-will not wring if the "Japanese
gentlemen" get cross eyed over' it.
A MIDWESTERN VIEW OF SULPHURED FRUITS
THE Omaha Bee represents a certain hastily formed sentiment
relative to the enforcement of the pure food law, and is impa
tient because; for instance, the department of agriculture has
not yet said the last word in relation to sulphuring. fruits and
the use of other preservatives. Thus the'Bee:.
:The trouble seems to find origin in rulings by the department of agri
culture holding up or suspending the operation of certain phases of the law
pending a final test of the points at issued The" number of these suspensions
has increased until some abuses most strongly complained of have been
allowed to remain, /at least temporarily: ; The canners. for, instance, have
secured a temporary concession allowing them to continue to use a certain
percentage of .prohibited preservatives. The fruit packers on the Pacific
coast were, by 'the "original law denied the employment of^^^ sulphur in drying
and coloring theirfruits for the market. They filed a protest with the depart
ment and have succeeded: in securing a respite, while other concessions have
been made to various manufacturers. :;-v.: .\u25a0'•'-V:'^.-V:' v
The question, What is pure; food? is wholly a matter of evi
dence and cannot be - determined offhand. Sulphur, saltpeter, salt,
sugar and the smoke of a wood fire are all well known preserva
tives. It is absurd to say that any of these should be rejected and
prohibited without a hearing. All of them' have been in use for
curing food almost from the time.; that men undertook this * form
of industry, and no* injurious results are recorded. Nor if it could,
be proved that any of them are hurtful to the human stomach
would that, settle the question as long as the products' are sold
with full notice to ; the* consumer declaring the process of manu
facture and. the constituent parts. The pure Ifood "law does not
forbid the sale of whisky, although its effects may prove injurious^
Why should the sale of sulphured: fruit be forbidden as long as
the process of preservation is disclosed ? As a matter of fact, dried
fruit sterilized with sulphur ffumes is, every :: bit as wholesome as
strawberry jam or other preserves made .--.withl sugar.
The trouWe: with the United Rail
roads seems to be not, lack of op
portunity to buy . power, but lack of
willingness so^ to'do. •

THE INSIDER
Tells of the benefit given in 1852 to aid
the Mercantile library association and re
• counts the startling reply of a girl pupil
Reminiscences of (^l°* the larg^
_.- - . I I thts city was held in 02, when Sstr.
Pioneer Library \S Franci3co had no library . Men a few
bright young men met at that time to organize the Mercantile library associa
tion of San. Francisco tent dwellers on'the hills sent in contributions and
volumes brought around the Horn or overland were donated with enthusiasm.
In 'S3, 1,500 volumes were bought, as the ajso'ciation had incorporated with
David S. Turner for first president, and more donations swelled the stock to
5,000 volumes. After,l6 years of nomadic life the library organizers determined
to have a home for it and made the mistake /of buying a lot in the downtown
section of the, city instead of in the suburbs. This plunged the association
deep in debt. W. H. L. Barnes came to the rescue,, donning the sock and
buskin as Elliot Gray in the play of Rosedale and raising $4,000. This helped
a little, but further relief was found in the benefit organized by Camilla Urso
and given at the Mechanics' pavilion in Union square. This was an immense
musical festival which "netted the library nearly $20,000. Soon after the stat«
legislature passed a special law authorizing the association to hold three gitt^
concerts. The profits from these amounted to $310,000. After the payment
of its indebtedness the library had only $20,000 left for books, but it entered
then upon its most useful period. Ina Coolbrith speaks of her first visit to
the old library in Bush street as* a young girl. It was the first library she
ever had^seen and the effect on her was startling. She never had realized
that there were so many books in the world.
\«— « ~* r> 'i A new course of study is in use in the public
Answer of Pupil schoo , s and the results so far are highly
Startles Teacher entertaining. Two good examples of this
occurred lately when a teacher spent some time talking on the subject of
gravity as related to the earth. After expending her best efforts and earnest
thought in.her^talk and noting with secret pleasure that the children even
to the smallest seemed. to be intelligently impressed, she ceased her discourse,
well satisfied with the result of her labors. But the next day, wishing to
be sure that her words had been understood, she called on a child of eight
or nine who had seemed to listen most attentively the preceding day with
the question, "Now, Mary, tell us what gravity is."
The girl rose in her seat, apparently thought hard for a few moments, and
then responded with perfect faith:
"Men and women is kept on the earth by graft." ;* . : •
Penlv nf Another Another is the case of the pupil who had
\u25a0\u25a0KCpiy oi Jinoincr never been able to discern the difference
Is Equally Good between «j seen » and saw> » Her fa .
structor, after laboring long and patiently to instill a ray of light into her
mind on the subject, finally succeeded in getting some good examples from
the child which would seem to prove that the difference was at last recQAv
nized and appreciated. The teacher paused for a moment and demanded
of the child a correct explanation of the difference as she saw it. The girl
answered beamingly. She was sure of herself, but it took some thinking to
express just what she wanted to say. However, after much inward tumult
and obvious effort, the following statement was heard*
"When you see a thing it's 'see/ and when youidon't see it it's 'saw.'"
