The McNamara Caie.
It will take some tlmo before the
full significance of tho sudden end
ing of the Mc.N'amara case Is realized
by the public, and by those more di
rectly concerned, In what had come
to bo regarded as a combat between
organized labor and organized capi
tal. The Importance of the case Is
not to bo underestimated, but
neither should It be exaggerated, for
the Issues Involved are more likely
to prove merely, temporary and Inci
dental to the larger movements of
our Industrial evolution.
First, and foremoHt, it should be
a matter of general congratulation
that the confenslon and plea remove
all poesible doubt of guilt. The ac
cused McNamnraa had succeeded In
making n largo number of people
believe that they wero to be the vic
tims of a capitalistic conspiracy
solely because they had been uctive
union' labor men, whose conviction
would discredit tho cause of organ
ised labor. No matter what tho evi
dence presented at the trial might
have been, had the verdict of guilty
come frjom the Jurywith the priso
ners atlll protesting their Innocence,
It would not have changed those wh
held to this opinion, and tho charge
that they had been "Jobbed" and
"railroaded" to prison would have
been reiterated and aa stubbornly
maintained., . (
fcecoritf. the feature of the McNa
mara' ci,; which, to our mind, calls
for. severe crftldHm. is the use of
vast Burns of motley on both sides.
Mr Oompers has stated that the con
tribution of labor organizations,
and. their members, to the defense
fund .aggregated 1190,000, and pre
sumably equal, or larger sums, were
available to the prosecution. To get
a fair and impartial trial with un
bought jurors and uncorrupted wit
nesses In full view of these great
temptation funds, would at least be
doubtful.
.Third. So far aa organized labor
suffers from the McNamara case, It
will be through too hasty and over
cealous acceptance of responsibility
for the defense. If the McNamaras
were guilty, as' they now admit,
no labor organization, any more
than any other organisation,
should wish to shield them
from the penalty. The sooner labor
shakes off outlaws and dastards who
resort to criminal vlolonce, Jeopard
izing the lives of helpless men,
women and children, the more prog
ress it will make.
Friendship. .
The beautiea of true friendship
have been sung In song and story
since, the beginning of the world.
Life without friends would be life
scarcely- worth living, and, try as
we may, nothing can ' be found to
take the place of friends.' '
The life of the hermit," no matter
to what Ideal It may be consecrated,
Is repugnant because it Is shorn of
all ties of friendship.
The greatest sacrifice which the!
pioneer has to make in taming the
wilderness ia the foregoing of friends,
and the hardest part devolving on
tbe emigrant setting out for a new
hone in a strange country la to leave
behind tho friends of other days, and
take the hazard of making new
friends. Friends are even more neod
ful, and teas easily dispensed with,
than relatelves, for relatives are not
always friends, and the best friends
are rarely relatives.
' Friendship is predicated on mutual
respect and esteem, on unselfish re
gard, or mutual helpfulness. . Tbe
deliberate abandonment, or the wil
ful shattering of friendships, is the
most reckless extravagance ever in
dulged; it la the destruction of per
sonal capital alowly accumulated, and
built up only at great expense of time
and effort.
Too often, however, people appre
ciate frUnds only after they no
longer have them. It ia easier to
hold a friend than It Is to regain one.
A steadily widening circle of friends
is the best proof of a man's appreci
ation of what friendship means.
The Recall as a Woman's Weapon
The attorney general of Cali
fornia, Mr. Webb, went Into office
upon the crest of that reform billow
that beat back so furiously upon the
old rock-bound coast of ultracou
servatUm. He stood for all the new
dogmas and doctrinea of tbe Insur
geutveampaign and baa been with
Governor Johnson in all his ad
ministration since. He believes in
the initiative and referendum, wom
an'a suffrago and the recall and he
Joined in rejoicing when at tbe
recent state election woman tri
umphantly won the. right to vote.
But alas and alack, Attorney gen
eral Webb now stand in danger of
what he helped bo much to bring
about! He la himself threatened
with the recall invoked by the
women he cheered on to victory. It
happens that since giving woman
the ballot, la the ordinary course of
events, tbe state bad to determine
whether the right to vote carried
also the right to aerve on Juries.
Women held that it did; so did some
men. Attorney General Webb took
the matter under advisement. He
burrowed into the law with the
best light he bad. Finally he came
out of his research with an official
opinion that California women were
not eligible for Jury service.
I'realo, change. Attorney General
Webb, the woman's friend, becomes
Webb, the monster, the sworn enemy
of womankind! He would shackle
their once-manacled handa again;
he would give' tbem tbe ballot only
to mock them. Ah, the recall. It
shall be visited upon tbia base at
torney general. Bo threatens a
leader of women, and no doubt by
now her cry has been taken up and
a recall petition la on its way to the
state capital.
Declining' Tide of Immigration.
The restrlctlonist who Pleads for
a smaller foreign immigration, should
find much comfort In the statistics
for this year, showing the number
of newcomers admitted to our porta,
as well as the number leaving them
for their old homes abroad. Herbert
Francia Sherwood's Review of Re
views article on the subject Is quite
Illuminating. It shows a falling off
In Immigration from January 1. to
September SO, of 278,424 persons,
an compared with the same period
for the previous year, or(38.1 per
cent and the further fact that In
the same nine months 300,000 or
65.55 per ccnt'of tho total of those
entering our porta, left them for
.their old homes., Canada at the
same time Is showing gains in Immi
gration from Europe.
Many causes may enter Into the
explanation. In tho first place, it Is
natural that during periods of Indus
trial quietness the Inflow of aliens
should diminish and the outgo in
crease, but' that conies far from be
ing a complete explanation. The
government Is more strict In its re
quirements for entrance and .more
rigid In Its system of inspection than
formerly. On the basis of this the
debarments at New York one year
ago had actually trebled over previ
ous records and doubtless operates
as much as a preventive as It does
as a penalty. It must be also that
Europeans, who have been emigrat
ing, find attractlona greater at home
or elsewhere than In the United
States and hence are not coming here
In as large numbera as they did.
But what if the foreigner does no
longer find the attraction he once
did in the United States, that which
brought him here from a sense of
necessity can Americans quite con
tent themselvee with that? If we
shared the view of Lord Northcllffe
Alfred .Harmswortb, the London
publisher that we do not Ameri
canise, we only standardize, human
beings, we might, but we; do not
share that view. We belle vo that
America haa aomething to offer the
Immigrant which he needs and that
In giving - ti . to him a process of
benevolent assimilation take place.
If the immigrant class no longer
feel tuls, then., we -Americana, have
reason to institute a self inquisition
to locate the trouble -and, ascertain
the remedy. ,
A New York Mob.
The demonstration during the
Meek at the Maxine Elliott theater
showed that New York, too, haa Its
mobs and mob spirits and that city
mobs are not much more decorous
than mobs in small college towns'
Provincialism" has often been urged
against New York and the bombard
ing of actors on the stage with eggs,
vegetables and other tokens of en
dearment is circumstantial evidence
tending to support the charge. The
stage production may have merited
a violent form -of disapproval, but
the fnob surely cannot escape on that
defense. Suppose New York mobbed
every undeserving specimen that got
before ita footlights, it would have
to keep a standing mob, we imagine.
"The Playboy of the Western
World," however, fared but little
better In New York than did
Mrs. Pankhurst, the British suf
fragette, who was hooted and
Jeered off the atreets when ahe
attempted to apeak there. Speaking
la nothing more than she did in many
other American cities, but up to date
we have heard of her being silenced
nowhere but In the metropolis. Mrs.
Pankhurst spoke throughout the
country to many assemblages of
people who did not wholly agree with
all she said and yet, nt least in the
west, she was received with unvary
ing courtesy and consideration. New
York will continue to denounce the
surfragetto mobs In London, no
doubt, but it ought also to be more
polite at home.
Shipi of Peace.
Secretary Meyer makes a very sane
plea in hla annual report for main
taining a strong navy, building the
same number of ships each year that
we have been building to keep abreast
of the tlmea and needs. From his
showing of what other powers are
doing, tbe United States could not
now wisely adopt a different method.
While our government is building
two battleships a year, England 1
building four and one ' armored
cruiser, Germany three and one
armored cruiser, Japan four armored
cruisers and one battleship, and all
these natlona are making their ves
sels larger and more powerful.
The secretary submits plans for
two battleshlpa and two colliers only.
This Is the minimum If we would
keep up the standard we have been
maintaining and we can afford to do
nothing short of that. On thla point
an extract from the secretary's report
bears with timely emphasis:
History of all kinds, Including the
prsseut, khwws Ilia futility and danger of
. .
U'Mtmg to the good will and fair deal
ing, or even to the most solemnly bind
ing treaties between rations for the pro
tection of n nation's sovereign rights and
Inte'ests, and - without doubt, the time
la remote when a comparatively unarmed
and helpless nation may be reasonably
safe from attack by ambitious, well
armed powers, especially In a commer
cial age such aa thei prevent. The eco
nomical system of a great commercial
nation la so delicately balanced that even
a threat of war la very disturbing and
harmful, while a war with any other
great power would aure incalculable
damage, and It la more necessary now
than ever before that we should be fully
prepared and that every other power
should understand that,, while seeking
peace, we are prepared for war.
There la nothing particularly new
in the argument, but everything of
wisdom and good sonse. The nation
that falls behind In military and
naval prowess will never take the
lead in the movement for world
peace. It la one thing to make de
mands and deliver ultimatum and
another to enforce them. So long as
other leading powers are building
CO and 100 per cent more naval
force each year than we are, It Is
fdlly for ua to talk of cutting down
our equipment.
Copperfield and Stanley.
Many an American youth who has
pored over David Copperfield, par
ticularly of that unfortunate' lad's
school days at old Salem house,
must have thanked his lucky stars
that there are no Mr. Creakles to
preside over the affairs of their edu
cation. ' Doubtless each of Dickens'
readers settle for himself Juat how
much of these experiences were truth
and how much fiction. We might
assume, that they were raoatly truth,
perhaps, without transgressing the
bounds of logic too far. Later
authors, with no attempt at fiction
and unclsgulsedly dealing with fact,
give os to understand t'hat Just such
places and persons as Salem house
and Mr. Creakle existed during the
days that Charles Dickens and they
went to school.
Take thla extract from David Cop
perfield anent Mr. Creakle,-the bard
hearted master of Salem house:
I should think there never can have
been a man who enjoyed his profession
mora than Mr. Creaklo did. He had a
delight at cutting at the boys which
waa like the satisfaction of a
craving appetite. I am sure
when I think of the fellow now, my
blood rises against him with the disln
tereated Indignation 1 should feel If I
could huve known all about him with
out having ever been In hla power; but
It rises hotly because I know him to
have been an Implacable brute, who had
no mora right to be poaseaaed of the
great trust he held than to be Lord
High Admiral or Commander-in-Chief."
And thla from Henry M. Stanley's
autobiography, respecting his harsh
experlencea 'at St. Asaph's, the home
for orphans and indigents whither It
waa his misfortune to be sent: '
It tiok m nome time to lWn the Im
portance of Years In a worfcl'u.W. huh.
erto tears liad brought me relief "In one
shape Vr another, tut 'from this time
forth .they availed ma nothimr. W

passed,- my' resentment haa not a whit
abated. No Oreek helot or d.rk
slave over underwent auch discipline an
the boya of St. Asaph under the heavy,
masterful hand of James Francis.
Dickens was writing ln the '60s
and Stanley had had his experiences
in the '50s. It is very probable .that
neither was In this instance writing
fiction. There Is more similarity in
the early lives of tho two men
taking David Copperfield for Dlckena
than merely this, too. Both were
posthumous children and , Copper
field's mother remarried unhappily
for David whllo Stanley's mother
deserted hira. One is reminded often
in the reading of Stanley's book of
the great Dickens story.
It Is assumed that tbe outcome of
tbe McN'aajara case foredooms the
socialist candidate for mayor at Los
Angeles. That will very likely prove
true. Yet no one of real Inteli'gence
should expect it to be fatal to the
socialist movement, whoso recent
growth In this country has been
ominous. .

A VOW.
Detroit Free Press. -r
I may not ever scale the mountain
heights ,
Where all the great men stand in glory
now,
I may not ever gain tho world's delights
Or win a wreath ot laurel for my brow;
I may not gain the victories that men
Are fighting for, ' nor do a thing to
boast of:
I may not get a fortune here, but thou
The little that I have- I'll make the
most of.
I'll make my little home a palace fine.
My little patch of green a garden fair,
And I shall know each humble plant and
vine . , , j ,. t
As rich men' know their orchid blossotas
rare. . v
My little home may not be much tivve.
Its chimneys may not tower far above,
But ilt will be a mansion to me," - -
Fdr out of it 1 11 take a hoard 'of jove.
I will not pass my modest' pleasures by
To graop at shadows of more splendid
tilings,
Disdaining what Of -Joyounesn - i-ih
Because I am denied the Joy ot kUig",
But I will laugh and sing my : wav alojj,
I'll make the most of what i-rnlne tu-
day. .
And if 1 never rise atylve th thmng.'
i snau nave dvea a full lire, anyway.
