TRANS-MISSISSIPPIANS CHOOSE THE RIGHT CITY
FROM a new state comes cheering- word to a new city. A tele
gram from Muskogee, Okla., tells that.the trans-Mississippi
commercial congress, now. in session at Muskogee, will hold
next year's meeting in San Francisco. -
It is not only cheering but significant news, indicating the
feeling that exists toward our regenerated city. The world has
learned tha? we have rebuilt ourselves morally and are achieving
; wonderful things in rebuilding ourselves physically. It has heard
-that San Francisco is self-sufficing, self-supporting, self-reliant.
The song of our riveting machines, the sound of the whirring saw
and the tapping hammer have carried to all the corners of our
epantry, until our city is looked upon as a marvel for recuperation.
;^he does not "sit indifferent to fate,*' but challenges fate T and is
winning in the battle. She \ has driven political leprosy from her
walls and is able to say to all the world, *' Behold me, clean, pro
gressive, triumphant over disasters, both great and small!"
It is -estimated that between 5.000 and 10,000 people will attend
this congress, for the California delegation has extended a cordial
invitation to the "women folks.'' And truly we will have some-
thing worth showing these visitors from all the states west of the
Mississippi. A year ago they could have seen little better than
four square miles of debris and ashes, dotted with shacks and tem
porary buildings. Now we can -show them clean government; pros
perity, in spite of a cruel pinch in the money market; skyscrapers
by the score, in various stages of completion; some large residence
districts entirely built nntp t others partly so: busy and prosperous
'shopping centers, and for music could bid them listen to the song
that rebuilding makes. A year from how we can point out still
greater marvels to them — a city built better than we had ever
dreamed; a city with a" greater population than existed here before
the great disaster ; a "city with people living in peace and plenty.
.We will not need to boast that we have overcome a series • of
unparalleled physical and moral obstacles. Our works will speak
for themselves.
And it should not be forgotten that much of the credit for
bringing this congress to San Francisco is due to H. D. Loveland,
president of the board of trade, whose eloquence was a large factor
in winning the day for this city.
BAD TASTE OF JUSTICE BREWER
MR. JUSTICE- BREWER of the United States supreme court
is hard to please. Apparently he holds the president respon
sible, for all the floating talk of politicians and the scatter
ing fire of gossip printed in the newspapers about a third
term. That is the only premise on which Justice Brewer can base
• his declaration that Roosevelt is "playing hide and seek with the
.' American . people.*' Now, a certain responsibility, even for after
dinner utterance, is dee from men holding the exalted position of
Justice Brewer. ~A justice of the supreme court is, or should be,
by virtue of his office, precluded from flippant speech about the
chief magistrate of. the nation. If he has ground for his accusation
he owes it to himself and the people he serves to produce the
• specifications.
Justice Brewer's words are virtually an accusation of falsehood
. /directed at the president of the United States.' He charges Roose
velt with bad faith and a'design or desire to repudiate his declara
tion that he would not be a candidate for a third term. What is
. the evidence on which. Justice Brewer bases his charge? The
| accuser produces none. :
There is no such evidence. Roosevelt can not control the
\ [political gossips and wire pullers who would like to see him run
; again. He can not get an injunction to restrain newspapers from
! printing what people say about him. Possibly the theory is that
| the president should, let us say, once a week, on Monday morning
at the opening of .business, make a solemn public "announcement
: that he is still of the same mind. A settled practice of this sort,
<v;hile it might reassure persons of cynical, or skeptical habit, like
Justice Brewer, would be virtual admission that the president
thought that the American people suspected him of bad faith. Yet
it is even possible that were some such ceremonial observance
solemnly arranged there might still be persons, like Justice Brewer,
who would not be satisfied or convinced, because they do not want
• to be convinced.
Theodore Roosevelt is far from being perfect. He is very
'human, choleric, perhaps, and impulsive, and it may even be that
• the American people love him all the more for these qualities, which
i have their root in aa acute sense of . indignation at wrong.' It is
•certain that no man, being 'an honest man, will accuse the presi
ident of insincerity. It is very plain that in the -war he has waged
2gainst dishonesty in high places he has made many enemies. W r ith
L t£ose enemies Justice Brewer.apparently, ranges himself. We should
-"not lightly apply to Justice Brewer the maxim that a man is known
by the company he keeps, but it is a grave scandal of, national
significance when a justice of the supreme court can not withhold
' flippant speech, based onnothing and reflecting on the good faith
of the president.
LIBELER AND SNEAK
•» rR. HEARST finds the libel prosecution by William Astor
!\/i ( -^ ian^ cr -.somewhat embarrassing. It is not that the gates
j_YJ_ of prison yawn for him or the, turnkey stalks behind, because
he is not in serious danger of going to jail— not yet— but
-he has been caught and nailed doing dirty politics in the customary
EDITORIAL PAGE
way characteristic of the Hearst newspapers , wherever published.
The people of San Francisco know the" style and 'method by
experience. I . v .-,'.. v. . . •' * ".. . . ~
William Astor Chanler. has a brother who ran for lieutenant
governor of New York on the same ticket with Hearst for gov
ernor last year. Chanler was elected by a comfortable plurality."
Hearst was defeated. It was a hard slap in the face and Hearst
does not readily forgive; If he can not get back at Louis Stuy
vesant. Chanler he is quite ready io take it out on the family.
Besides his original cause of offense, Louis Stuyvesant Chanler has
recently developed something of a boom for the democratic nomi
nation for president. No man in a position of that sort is safe from
attack in the Hearst newspapers. ,
We all know. the plan. We saw it in active operation during
the summer here in the sneaking attacks on District Attorney
Langdon and the graft prosecution. The newspapers,
whether -in New York, Chicago or San Francisco, dare not say
openly what they desire to convey by indirection. Therefore, an
attempt was made to connect the Chanler family with a malodorous
case in the New York courts, in which anactor of dubious* fame is
most concerned.
In the same policy of the sneak was the effort to evade service
and deny responsibility for • the publication, but all these tricks did
not avail, .and Hearst "was finally run to ground. Hearst Jikes to
pose as a man of mystery. To drag him into a vulgar police court
and brand him libeler and sneak was a ; bitter indignity.
£1 ENATOR FORAKER^S stuffed dub has been heard from.
The senator has organized a league of so called republican
j^J dubs in Ohio, professing to represent the whole party. As
a matter of fact, the league is stuffed witH federal office . hold
ers who owe their places to the senator. That explains their
indorsement of him for the republican nomination for president.
Of course,;they know that Foraker has not the most remote chance
of getting -the nomination, but - the thing sounds well and is not
meant so much to ; boost Foraker as to stab Taft in the back.
It is the small politics of a small -man, who, an forty years
of public life, has never learned anything better and is unable to
rise above these petty tactics. Of course, it is regarded as . an
open declaration of war by the Taft forces in Ohio, and they' can
not ignore the challenge. It must sooner or later come 'to a show
down between the contending • factions in OhioV and if the Taft
following proves 1 the stronger \u25a0it may even drive Foraker out of
public, life. / .
In the meantime the crowned heads of .Europe are falling over
each other in the , effort to meet the secretary of war, who is
tryingto make up his mind how. best to dodge the lineup of kings
and emperors without . appearing to be rude.' He will attend to
Brother' Foraker later. \ - , " • :
