AN OAKLAND MORALIST DESCRIBES HIMSELF
THE moral processes of William E. Dargic, publisher of the
Oakland Tribune, as explained by himself, find their inspira
tion in the gutter. The popular impression in Oakland that
Mr. Dargie changes his opinions only when he changes his
meal ticket is a mistake. Ke has said so himself. The anonymous
letter writer, actuated by malice and too cowardly to sign his
name, is the source from which Mr. Dargie declares he derives
those moral ideas that he has elevated to the dignity of a com
mercial asset. This easy moralist does not take the trouble to
verify a slanderous accusation. Any man with an ink bottle and
a malicious spirit is good enough authority for Dargie. He has
said it.
It is no exaggeration — this account of Dargie's methods, as
explained by himself. Of course, it is not true. It is, indeed, so
lame as to be pitiful. That a man should so degrade himself as
to refer his action to a bundle of anonymous letters, containing
charges that Dargie knc.v to be false, shows to what straits of
evasion he is reduced. These charges, to which Dargie attributes
his rapid conversion, were so obviously inspired by malice and
without foundation that this tender moralist wasted no- time or
money in attempting to verify them. This is his own testimony.
If any of these anonymous charges had borne the slightest aspect
of probability Dargie would have rejoiced to find the proof.
When a man sinks so low that he can find no more creditable
explanation of his action than a bundle of malicious letters, which
he does not even now pretend to believe, some guess may be made
as to how base his real motives are. One day he is convinced
of the wickedness of the grafters and the boodlers. The next day
it is only the prosecution that is vile. A bundle of anonymous
letters accomplished this miraculous metamorphosis. So says
Dargie. ' ;
The plain truth is that Dargie's morals for publication are on
sale to the highest bidder, and the man who buys them gets a
gold brick. If you doubt it ask any man who lives in Oakland and
knows the sort of reputation that this thrifty moralist has acquired.
To be sure, the picture of himself, drawn by himself, is not alluring;
but it beats the real thing.
"TEARING UP THE TOWN"
TT is not difficult to understand that certain disgruntled mem-
I bers of the police force would be pleased to make the. municipal
J[ administration unpopular, if it could be done, by neglect of
duty. The slack discipline and petty graft that had become
a habit under Dinan are not" likely to be cured in a week or a
month, and any attempt to improve the efficiency of the force is
at once resented. Now the attempt is being made to give .1 the
administration a bad name by /extending a certain immunity to
pickpockets and thieves. Dinan directs the work and his criminal
friend, "Kid" Sullivan, "king of the pickpockets," provides the work
men. It is the old Tammany trick of "tearing 'up the town."
Disaffected policemen are able to promote this criminal scheme
without showing their hands in a way that can be made the basis
of specific charges.
All that will be attended to after the' election of Taylor, and'
these disloyal officers may make up their minds that he will be
elected. We do not believe that they, constitute anything more than
a small minority of the force, but Dinan had placed them in posi
tions where they could do mischief. In the meantime, their records
are kept and their cases will be attended to when the appointed
time comes.
THE SORROWS OF HARRIMAN
K. HARRIMAN is troubled because the newspapers treat
him badly, and, indeed, in his view, the whole generation
of railroad magnates is suffering from the same affliction.
PThey are not given a hearing by the press. ;
All this is distressing, and Mr. Harriman's sufferings now
tnat he has discovered them — will bring him a ready sympathy.
Most of us who have had^to do with the making of newspapers
had imagined that publishers were only too glad to give railroad
meira, hearing on all occasions. Indeed, the newspapers have been
nursing, a grievance because they attributed the difficulty of finding
out the truth about- railroad matters to a calculated policy of con
cealment dictated by the magnates.
Let us take an example within Mr. Harriman's knowledge:
One year ago the annual meeting of Union Pacific was quietly
held in Salt Lake City. 'At that time the naked announcement was
made that the company had a cash surplus of $55,968,582, chiefly
accruing from the winnings made in the Northern Pacific deal. .No
announcement was made of the purpose to which this vast sum
was to be applied, but Mr. Harriman was given full power to
deal with it. He did not call' in the reporters. to explain his- inten
tions as to the disposition of this money. If any of the stock
holders imagined that these accumulations \yould be applied- to
improve the physical condition, of the property he ; was badly mis
taken. Mr. Harriman had other ideas, but he kept them closely
comcealed; wisely, perhaps ; unwisely, perhaps. \u25a0 -'^'/ i
Mr. Harrinian,* keeping his mouth shut, took this $55,000,000 !
and, borrowing $80,000,000 more, went into the st6\:k market .'and
bought at top prices on an inflated; market. The depreciation jn
the stocks that he then' bought witK other people's money^has run
EDITORIAL PAGE
I "What Is the Pleasure^di^^efOij^x^h?:"
into many millions, but Mr. Harriman has not shown any anxiety
to explain his extraordinary policy. y
As a result of indulging this debauch .of t speculation Mr.
Harriman found the Union Pacific in, straits and had to issue
bonds of that road for $75,000,000 on a tight money market. "He
now complains that he cannot borrow money to make the needed
extensions> He, blames the newspapers and orders the work
stopped. '/
Mr. Harriman has not shown any disposition to explain these
transactions to the newspapers or elsewhere. His testimony on , the
matter before the interstate commerce commission was shifty,
evasive and characterized by reticence. Mr. -Harriman's disclosures
are welcomed by the newspapers wnen he tells the truth, but very
often he does not tell the truth. Suppose he had calledrin the
reporters after that meeting in Salt Lake and told them that he
intended to use $130,000,000 of Union Pacific money for the pur
pose of speculation on Wall street— we venture to say that not a
newspaper in America would have refused him a hearing.
THE FARMERS' VIEW OF ASIATIC IMMIGRATION
IT is a popular fiction among the advocates of Asiatic immigra
tion that the farmers, and fruit growers of ' California are suffer
ing for want of such labor as the Chinese and Japanese might
be expected to' supply. This fiction has had a sore setback
from the recent action of the California state 7 grange in rejecting
by a decisive vote these resolutions offered by John Tuohy
of Tulare: • . \u25a0_)\u25a0
The want of labor sufficient for the industries of this state is a serious
detriment to the same and more particularly to our agricultural ones. .
We ask _ the National grange to urge and use its best exertions for
such a modification of our exclusion laws as will admit annually a suf
ficient number of Asiatic laborers to meet the deficiency. The plea
of antagonism between our own people and, people of Asiatic races is not
well meant or just. Our own people and industries want a class of labor
that.will.do a class of "work to which .we ? do not desire to see our own
people subject, to which they need not and will not be subjected if Asiatic
labor, to a sufficient extent, is admitted.
As the Chinese exclusion law now stands it is the result of envy and
prejudice; it is a -feproach to. the high of the United States;
it is a detriment to our > industrial .progress. We ask the National grange
to use its best endeavors to have it modified.
These resolutions" were defeated by a 2 to I. vote after a. full
discussion on the floor, in which B.G. Hurlbut of Santa Clara
county represented the sense of the body when he said: 4
Not alone would the orchardists suffer if the Asiatics were allowed
free entry into ' this cotfntry, but . the. merchant, the manufacturer, would
also suffer from the deplorable conditions that would arise from the great
influx of the undesirable Asiatics.- \u0084 * \u25a0' < ; *
.Let us not modify the present exclusion laws, but let us vote that
the government of • this country pass more stringent ones, and let our
watchword be. "America for the Americans- and desirable European im
migration, and not for the Asiatic hordes." \
Those farmers who have had experience with Japanese" labor
know, that it is trickly and untrustworthy. When they get the
farmer in a tight place they' do not hesitate to break a 'contract
and hold -him up; for a higher wage. -> \u0084"-\u25a0"\u25a0 ; \u25a0'"
Notwithstanding the ' action of the state grange, the, fiction
about the farmers' long felt want persists in the pro-Asiatic press,
of which tliere are examples even on this coast.

Twain. Don't you find yourself looking for them? I met a charming young
bride the other day and our first sentences of greeting revealed the fact
that we had a mutual friend. I knew at once from the look in her eyes that
she was going to deliver herself of a flat, bromidism and was not dis
appointed. "What a small world it is, after all," she/ said.
A group of women were chatting in a Key Route car Sunday. I.found
myself listening, involuntarily, for bromidisms. My expectations were
realized. "What strange things happen every day," said one of them, and
just them another woman over the aisle was saying, "I just washed my

Oh, why did we ever hear of the classification of bromides?

SOCIETY folk here are delighted to
learn that the Hopkins family and
all three of the married daughters
will come up to town for the win
ter after all. Their original plan was
to stay in San Mateo again this year,
but the opening season has proved too
attractive to be Ignored. Mr. and Mrs.
William Taylor Jr. have taken a charm
ing house in Broadway and the Au
gustus Taylors will stay -with Tay
lor's parents in their Pacific avenue
home. Mr. and Mrs. Fred McNear
have almost decided upon an apartment
in one of the big. new apartment
houses. All these -will come to town
on «the first of November, but the
Hopkins family proper will not come
up for another week or two. Miss
Florence, the only remaining daughter,
,whose coming out party next year is
being discussed, went back to school
in New York last we^fcte. Miss Mary
Keeney, who has been her guest for
the summer,' returned to San Francisco
a few days ago.
First of the debutantes' affairs yet to
be announced is the coming out party
of little Miss Helen Baker, who enters
upon her first winter as a recognized
beauty and favorite. The date set for
her. debut is November 9 and it will
take place at the Fairmont hotel under
auspices that ought to make her envied,
among the year's debutantes. A few
days before the event Miss Baker will
be hostess at a luncheon in her own
home, her guests being 14 of the
debutantes, some of whom will help her
receive her mother's friends at tha
following affair.
•• - •
Cards will be out in another day or
two for a large tea., on November 16,
at which Mrs. Newhall will be hostess.
It will be given in the Newhalla* hand
some new home and will be in honor of
Miss Marion and Miss Elizabeth New
hall, who make their first bow to so
ciety on that day. This is sure to be
one of the really important events of
the opening season, for both sisters
are beauties and both popular in the
most exclusive set. A dozen debu

her' guests, and several hundred per

especially brilliant and beautiful one.
