All nl! the nicnihcrs of the triimgle composed of lTpton Sinclair, Mrs. Tpton Sinclair and Henry Kemp, tint poetical affinity, seem to think that Iheir commonplace ami vulgar little affair is un usual. The poetical affinity holds forth to this effect "The present is an unusual situation, and if the persons in it were of the usual sn.-'t. there probably would be attacks and incviiu'n ations and recriminations. But we are not of that sort." "Ye cannot see any difference between Hie Sim-lair case and the dozen or more similar ersrs that are in the Ueno divorce courts today. Ir there is any difference, it is probably '" lavor of the cases which are mentioned only c.;s:ii"y. Tn spite of the delusions of the poet and iiTii the Sinclair-Kemp case is a very usual one. In spite of the talk of soul, intellect and tempera ment. Mrs,, Sinclair ran away with tho pool" rVom the same motives that caused the butcher's wife to run away with the baktr. All tha'; Mrs. Sinclair has to say might be epitomved in 'Arriett's letter to 'Arry, "T 'ave gone with a 'andsomer man." Kemp's statement would show him io be a pitiful sort of creature, pa"t ninconir.oon. part scoundrel on the Avliole, a poor iieeiinen !' the home-breaker, lie is trying t. ddiid? himself "into believing that he has done something un usual, whereas he is only a commonplace co respondent, no belter and less frank than the baker who ran away with the butcher's wife. Sinclair would be deserving of some of the sympathy that is due tin wronged husband had not been a preacher of the doctrine or the lack of doctrine which his wife and the p.ietical affinity have put into practice. More over, he has the bad taste to discuss his matri monial troubles with the same frankness with which he held forth in his article on diet, when luAliscusscd at great length on the significance of the rumblings in his intestines. The only Ihing unusual about Mr. Sinclair in this affair is his desire to rush into print. The attitude of all the members of the Sinclair-Kemp triangle is somewhat nauseating to the general public. Where the trio expect to be glorified and exalted, they are only earning for themselves the contempt of decent folk. Mr. Sinclair will find out that his ease is no more important to (he world at large than that of t lie liutchei'' whose wife ran off with the baker; Mrs. Sinclair will discover that she is just as wickedly foolish as the butcher's wife, and the poetical affnity will be forced to' realize that he and tint baker who eloped with the butcher's wife have much in common, only the baker may have a few of Ihe elements of decency left in him. The general public will marvel at the ego lisin.lhat has led these three foolish people to believe that their vulgar little affair is any more important than any of the nastier divorce eases now on the calendar. It, is a very usual storv. SCANDALOUS OREGON CASE. A scandalous abuse of law and miscarriage of justice is reported in a recent number of Ihe Portland Oregonian. A Mrs. Brannock eloped from her home at Tuft, California, with a man named K. If. Lovegrove. The husband, W. Urannock, .chased the fugitives to a lumber camp in Oregon, and caused their arrest. When they were arraigned in court, the lawyer for . Ihe defense contended that the woman could not be required to testify because her evidence would tend to convict her. The court sustained that plea. Then the court excluded the testi mony of Urannock, the husband, on the ground that :t husband could not testify against the wife without the consent of both. This left the sole charge of immoral conduct against the eloping couple, whose lawyer contended that under a decision of the Oregon supreme court a couple found living together are presumed to be married unless proof can be brought to the contrary. But the only available proof be ing that, of the husband and wife, and both of their testimonies having beern-excluded, there was no evidence possible to bring that the elopers were not legally husband and wife. And so ihe complaint was dismissed. The Oregonian very properly denounces this sort of legal jugglery, and points out that- under it. conviction for adultery would be impossible in Oregon. Since no prosecution for adultery is permissible except on complaint of husband or wife, and since under this ruling whichever should make complaint would he forbidden to testify in the ease, any prosecution for adultery would fail. "In other words,'' says the Ore gonian, "there may be an arrest but no prose cution, an indictment, hut no trial." . The complaining husband or wife is ex cluded as a witness in such a case, and, of course, his or her testimony could not be avail able for the prosecution. It is a shameful perversion of law and of. morals; and we cannot believe that the courts of Oregon will consent to allow law, morality, decency and the saneness of family life to be thus juggled with. The Oregon courts will certainly have to amend that sort of practice, or the law and the courts together will fall into the deepest public contempt. Oregon has a con stitution which admits of the recall of judges. "We do not think that there could possibly be a better ease to exercise that privilege of re call upon than is offered by Judge Tazewell, who made the astonishing rulings that are cited herein. WAR TO HEAD OFF SOCIALISM. It has been said that Germany "needs" war to solidify the empire and "divert public at tention from socialism." This statement serves to illustrate the op portunist type of mind that fails to reason, look ahead or examine into causes. The socialism of Germany is a protest that is based on governmental abuse. It is the ele ment of justice in it that gives it whatever power it has to embarrass the government. War would not wipe it out. Nothing hut the correction of the wrongs that have burdened the people of Germany will rob socialism of its hold on the masses of Germany. State socialism presents itself as n definite plan to some, to other it comes as an indefinite ili-eam. To still others it means no more than a chance to strike at what already exists. It matters little that human nature in its present stage of development would assert itself un justly under any system. The thing that the German hates is the thing he strikes at. So cialism is the weapon at hand and he uses it. War would only increase his unjust burdens and develop his socialism into an even more aggressive type. Socialism in Germany, says the Los Angeles Express, feeds on the same intellectual food that it feeds on in other countries. In the lnited States, the socialist works in modera tion, within the body citizenship in general, in the hope of peacefully converting the. mass of his countrymen to his ideals. In Germany he embarrasses the government for the reason that the abuses against which he inyeiirhs are imposing intolerable burdens. Socialism there is correspondingly able to com mand more recruits and is more aggressive and radical in its demands. In Russia, the socialist has developed a hatred that makes him defy government and tibaudon all hope of governmental correction of abuses. , A fair opportunity for all would leave small demand for a change of system. War as a cure for socialism would be about as sensible as to prescribe fits as a cure for the measles. MR. SMITH A TRUE PROGRESSIVE. The entire coast will- be saddened by the news that Sylvester (J. Smith, representative in congress from the Eighth California district, is dying; and, although the doctors have said that the statesman's recovery is impossible, we know that tens of thousands of thoughtful persons who appreciate his distinguished service are fer vently hoping that in this case medical judgment may have erred and that Mr. Smith may yet be spared to the people for whom he has worked Avith such unselfish devotion. Congressman Smith has been a progressive but ever since he entered the arena of national affairs to represent the complex elements and interests of his vast district he has scorned the practices of the demagogue. Alwavs con sistently broad-minded and patriotic, always con siderate of the opinions of those who opposed him, always capable of rising above partisan differences once the issue at the polls was decid ed, he has been in every sense a representative not only of the Eighth district, but also of the entire state. Indeed, his career in congress has shown that he regarded all California as his constituency rather than those counties which alone contributed to his election it Aol ,Ven bofore he Avas sent t0 Washington -Mr. Smith, as editor of the Bakersfield Echo exerted a powerful influence for political hon esty. Should death summon him at this time, when he has just been snatched from the very prime of his physical and mental ability to help solve the vital problems of the day, Cali fornia will lose one of its most useful public characters and the west one of its biggest men. A gentleman giving the name of John Doe has written an impassioned letter declaring that all of Upton Sinclair's troubles are due to th fact that he was legally married. It b npr. pnate that the familiar name of John Doc should be signed to a communication of this sort. Only Mr. John Doe, should have told just what he was wanted for. We are left to suppose that it was for the trifling offense of bigamy. He writes as one who has had experience. A vaudeville agent who knows very little of art or ancient history wants to book this Mona Lisa" that everybody is talking about, the reason being that the name is in the papers even more frequently than Ethel Barrymore's Has anybody the heart to tell him the bitter truth that ,"Mona Lisa" is only a painting and not an actress. Spain wants the bones of the old Santiago fleet, and as nobody else eares for them it ought to be easy to oblige. r PERS ON'ALS Coming and Going of Our Local People end Other V. W.

REDUCING FORCES IN THE BIG RAILROAD SHOPS AT SPARKS The Southern Pacific officials, fol lowing out the policy of the com pany to reduce the expenses of op erating the road, last night laid off a number of men. A , member of the Machinists' union of Sparks stated that seventy-five shopmen had been laid off in Sparks and an officer of the company at Sparks de clares that only thirty-eight wore laid . of,'. At any rate the Sparks shops ar now running short-handed and fur ther than this the men who are working only put in five days per week and eight hours a day, instead of nine as formerly. A labor union man of Sparks this morning stated that the shopmen of Sparks voted to strike by a large vote some time ago, and that like shopmen in all parts of the coun try along the Harriman system, they feel that the company must recog nize the federation of unions or a strike will follow. As an example of tha feeling in the Sparks shops, this union man stated that when the question of a strike was voted on the machinists voted to strike un less the company would recognize the federation and out of a mem bership of 35 it is said that S'4 voted to strike unless the demands were granted. It Is further stated by this union nan that in Sacramento the shopmen have been with the company for years and many are soon to be pen sioned and for this reason some hesitated to vote for a strike, but despite this the Sacramento unions were in line with the others on the Harriman system and when the final vote was taken the men were in favor of striking unless tho de mands were granted. An official of the company iii Sparks stated that the laying off of the men in the Sparks shop last night had nothing to do with the pending labor troubles, but was sim ply a result of the company's re trenchment plan on account of the falling off of business.
