In their plea for higher Ktl-
rt t io.-. A.s usual, almost all
advance has been made to those em
ployed In the High school. While no
erltlelfm Is made concerning this pin
ftesshe action, It Is to he legietted
that year after year only the High
fohool teacheis (-com to be In a posi
tion to icele consideration. They dp
sfrv all they set, and In most cases
probably mute, but their duties entail
letf, oveitlme work and tar le.-s respon
fihility In many dt-partments, than are
oemanded In several grades In the out
side schools, wheio the teacheis ate
certainly underpaid.
The much-needed reform In establish
Ing a system nt Mipei vising pilnclpals
In the l.uge buildings wheie tunny
teacheio ate employed was also en
tirely Ignored.
While the High school Is certainly
deserving ot gieat care in keeping up
Its standaid to measure with Institu
tions in othei cities, It Is a pity that
the boaid of contio! should be so parsl
monlous with regard to the schools
which must feed the High school.
Owing to th" crowded curriculum In
the lower gtades, little oppoitunlty for
Individuality Is possible with teacher
or pupil and any nmbltlon toward
original work Is tacitly discouraged;
yet It Is unfoittinate, to say the least,
that the hatd-worklng. conscientious
teachers In the other giades ate not
more adequately compensated.
One step taken by the hoatd of con
trol must meet with the heartiest pub
lic approval, and that Is the appoint
ment of .Miss Kllza Chase as lihratlan
at the High school. The position Is one
which Is demanded In that building,
where Mil pupils are supplied with text
books at the expense of the stale and
wheio, theufoie, It Is necessary that
a cateful tecoid ot such supplies shall
h kept. As no teacher has exclusive
control of any one set or class of pupils,
no on has the lesponslblllty of th
books used by the classes as is made
possible in the other buildings. The
lihiailan'. task will be one of Import
ance, and Miss Chase will most ably
fill the position.
Probably no one In the citj has
touched and Influenced so many lives
as-thls faithful teacher and ttue gentle,
woman. She Is loved and honoied In
all elides where for yeais she has been
known, and now that falling health has
intc-rfeted to some degree with her ac
tivity as a teacher it Is a satisfaction
to a multitude of taxpayeis and fiiends
that she will he still connected with the
High school in a lesponslble capacity.
A ft m pie Instance of how Wana
makerlsm woiks. Son Tom's North
Ameilcan the other day printed an in
teivlew with the pastor of the church
to which John Weaver, lleptihllcan
nominee for district attorney of Phila
delphia, belongs. In which the cleigy
man. after eulogizing Weaver's per
sonal character, said he could not vote
for Weaver on account of the had
character of Weaver's backeis. Now
comes a telegram from this minister
who is absent on a aeatlon--denylng
flatly that he ever said anything of
the kind and branding the North
American interview as a fake. Is It
any wonder such cheap John methods
(all?
Jury Reform.
NK OF THE propositions be
fore the Virginia constltu-
Jtr tionil -convention which Is
;. likely to call foith the In
terested attention of publicists gener
ally contemplates giving to the legls-lature-dlscietlonary
power to frame a
law allowing trial of civil causes by a
Jury of seven men, whose verdict, to be
errective, must he unanimous. The
proposed reduction from twelve Jurors
to seven Is defended on the scote of
the economy that It would effect, more
especially In rural counties, where the
majority of -causes for trial involve
very elemental questions of Justice,
determinable quite as readily by seven
men an by twelve; and fur that matter,
by fivor thiee.
The proposition by which thin Is
countered by those reformers who fear
to talft- so lone a step In departure
from the venerated traditions of Antlo
fiaxonJurlsprudenre suggests that the
Jury o twelve be retained, but that
Instead of the unanimity requirement
powerjbe given to the majority of say
two-llilrds to vitalize n verdict. Thl Is
a widely advocated scheme of Jury re
form and It erems to us that It af.
fords a wholesome escape from the
vexatious plfj-lieadodness of tho one or
two Jurors who Invariably dissent from
their colleagues without regard to the
law or tho factit. It is not proposed
In Virginia to make any change In the
present procedure In criminal trials;
S H
hut th reritilroment of unanimity In
mlMlemfntwr ration mlsht well bo
waived, lnce It Ir n direct Invltntlnn
to the attorney for the defence to
iRtioto nil the Jutorw hut the one or
two ("elected n irntnlxlng mn.terln.1 for

At all events this whole subject of
Jury reform Is In for a ihoiotigh dis
cussion In tin1 VlnrlnM convention and
those Inteusled will no doubt wntch
the debute Intently.

A (Mistaken Policy.
THF. AMALCJAMATKI Sheet
Metal Workers' association
having tecontly placed In
Its constitution a ptovlslon
making Ineligible to membership, ex
cept In case of war with a foreign
foe, any person a membr of the regu
lar at my or navy or state mllltla or
naval reserve, nnd tequlrlng the Imme
diate resignation of any member
who shall Join either of those four
institutions, the New York Times has
been cndeavoilng to show how fool
lh this policy Is. One of the reasons
urged In favor of the provision was
that the state mllltla as used in labor
Doubles are "practically put at the
disposal of the cmploycts." The
Times says It has never heard of a
case wheie that was ttue and adds:
"The citizen soldiery Is called out
to serve the stntc. the community; to
piotect lives nnd pioperty, anil pie
vent violations of law. As the vio
lence of tiotous strlkeis Is Invariably
directed against Ihe property of thft
employer whose service they have left
and aglnst the persons of other work
men seeking to tnko their places It Is
natural and Inevitable that the de
fense e lines of the mllltla should be
drawn around that property and those
persons. There is no Instance within
our knowledge whete the employer has
assembled his ofllec staff and begun
an assault upon his employes, beating
them with sticks nnd stones and set
ting fire to their dwellings to prevent
their going out; but If such a case
should arise the National Guard would
promptly anil effectually defend the
employes, using ball cartlrdges, If nec
essary, upon the ilotous employer and
his men. nut even then the armed
foice would not be nt the disposal of
the assailed strikers. It would be
serving the state nnd the community
by pteservlng public order."
Another charge made against the
mllltla by Its opponents among the
metal woikers that It Is. often called
out without real cause, on a suspicion
that trouble Is brewing btlngs from
the Times this lejolnder: "Troops havo
never been called out on 'mete sus
picion." Their aid Is Invoked In sup
port of the civil constabulary when
disorder actually exists or when theie
Is Imminent probability that the order
of the court will be forcibly tesisted.
Tha't Is complete Justification. Tho
executive often errs by delay, never,
so tar as we have observed, by too
great readiness to call out the mllltla.
Men have a right to quit work when
wages or conditions are unsatlsfac
toiy. The courts of every state up
hold that right. But otganl;:ed labor
Is more and more taking the position
that the men have also the right to
enforce their demands by violence and
1 assault and mayhem to ic.straln
other men from taking their places;
and that any Interference with their
exercise of that supposed right Is op
pression and Injustice. This is the
doctrine of freedom of riot. It Is the
doctrine embodied In tho amendment
to the constitution of the Sheet Metal
Workers' association forbidding their
members to join the mllltla or enlist
In the army."
The fault for the disposition among
strikers to use foice Is not wholly
their own. When a war Is on It Is
natural for the belligerents to make
use of all the means of attack at their
command. The tendency to assault or
intimidate men willing to take work
that the strikers have left Is unfair,
unmanly anil unlawful, but It has
grown up by public tolerance, has
been accelerated by demagogical yel
low Journalism and has gained a foot
hold through the moral cowardice of
the men who know It is wioug and ul
timately Injurious to those who prac
tice It, hut who fear to speak their
real sentiment against it lent they
should incur the nntagonlsm of the
labor unions. The great bulk of tho
men forming the membership of tho
unions ate men of reasonahlei and
honest Intentions, who will break no
law that they know Is a law and that
has behind It a law-icspectlng public
sentiment. It Is because thete Is no
strongly asserted sentiment behind tho
law protecting the worker ngainst the
striker that the latter is often encour
aged to hurl taunts and bricks nt
the former and to drive him and his
family into beggary.
The greatest mistake that tho lead
ers fit organized labor can make la
to cultivate an attitude of opposition
to tho police and mllltla forces of law
and otder. It puts their followers in
a false position and sacrifices rapidly
the necessary sympathy of tho public

f tr-HlS NAVY department's ns
I eignment of Captain riov-
JL man If. MtCall.i, late
r.'ommandcr ot the Newark,
whlrh he hi ought over from Hong
Kong In 5 days less time than the feat
hail ever been accomplished In before,
to the command of tho new Kenrsarge.
ono of our premier battleships, is a
conspkious compliment that tho public
will cordially applaud. Captain Mc
Calla Is ono of tho cracker Jack odlcers
of Uncle Sam's navy who, when there
aro things to bo done, lose no time or
ceremony in doing them. Like his pro
totype, Colonel Wlnt, of tho army,
McC'alla Is of the thniough-golng,
ready-for-huMness typo of fighting man
who doesn't do his work before cameras
or with an eye to the npplauso of the
mob. Leaving that sort of thing to
those congcnltally fitted for It, Ills un
varied practice has been to go straight
ahead along the pathway of duty.
When Pchloy nt Clonfuegos, In tho
crisis of the late war, had been for two
days Inactive because ho didn't know
whether t'orvern wa,i In port or not
and hadn't taken tncasuics to tlnd out,
It waa Captain MoCalla, steaming up
on tho Mnrblchead, who in a few
minutes solved the mystery by com
municating with tho CubaiiB on shotc.
That ono Incident gives the key of his
chai actor. When tho nfllcots of tho
nllled forces at Tien Tsln wete wrang
ling among themselves over details of
precedence nnd ceiomony In tho pro
posed relief march to Pokln, It was
Captain McC'alla who, wearying of their
Indecision, cut the knot by saying; "1
havo no advice to give to others; but
my minister Is In peril and I am going
to hlni." Tho Seymour expedition, of
which McCnlla led the advnnce guard,
failed of Its put pose, chiefly because
the wi anglers had wrangled too long:
but It was McCnlla who headed the
hard fighting of It, who was shot full
of holes day after day and yet wouldn't
give up, and who received the unique
honor of most llattorlng mention In
Admiral Seymour's t opart to the queen.
This six-foot hunk of n man has a
temper which in earlier days used to
get him Into trouble sometimes, and
one time a court of Inquiry, which
had peon him only through the eyes of
pence, gave hint a sounding whack
of punishment thnt threw him way
down the ladder of his profession. It
Is pleasant to know that tho numbers
thus lost havo been regained by dint of
brilliant merit displayed In two hem
Ispheies under circumstances peculiar
ly trying, and thero Isn't a man In the
navy ftom Dewey down who has a hot
ter hold upon tho esteem of those who
know, than this fearless, go-ahead
human old salt, whoso merit and mod
esty match.
That BaiMighf af
the Paifimerican
AND SO you want to hear about the
bull-fight at tho Pan-American
exposition. Now, of course, bull
fights are veiy naughty things; every
body knows that. Their Influence Is
wholly bad. They tend to demoralize
tho public, to brutalize and dull refined
feeling and to develop degrading tastes.
Why een tho Now Yoik Journal de
nounces this Midway feature at Buf
falo, and when the Now York Journal
Is shocked, well something, of course,
ought to be done.
fl
it Is not necessary to state that It la
no real bull-tight. The bull at the Pan
American Is like the wary man in the
couplet:
Ho who rlffht and run iwav
Will lle to Bcht mother da).
That'p the way with tho Buffalo bull;
he win be still In tho ring when the
exposition hns gone tho way of all big
shows, and the beautiful buildings are
laid waste. Ho doesn't die. Not that
bull. They kill him with long paper
wreathed wands every afternoon, but
he blithely trots out to join his family
In the stables, apparently undepressed
by his experience in the arena.
One thing nbout the bulls In the
Mexican village lights. They come into
the ilng and go out with all their horns,
which Is more than can he said of the
poor cattle In the heids In tho vicinity
of Seranton. You won't find a dairy In
Lackawanna county whete tho unhappy
cattle are not cruelly mutilated, and
yet the New York Journal, the min
isters and other good people make no
crusad" against the horrid practice,
any mote than they do against the
torture of horses which deprives them
of their defense ngainst tho fiendlsh
nes of files. You will not find a dairy
hoid which Is not more or less com
posed of cows who look humiliated and
degiaded without that badge of im
memorial dignity their horns. Tho
pain and misery which they have en
dured In the dehorning process are far
gteator than the hulls suffer In tho
mock fight at the exposition.
Now, this is In no sense defending
tho custom of bull-fighting. It Is a
relic of barbarism even In Its most
Improved condition, Just as prize-fighting
and glass-eating aro relics of bar
barism, nnd oven divested of Its cruelty
n it Is at Buffalo, is not especially
elevating In Its tendency. But theie Is
teally nothing to shock the most sen
sitive beholder. Theie Is a big nmphi
theatto provided with seats, sheltered
and otherw Iso, according to your
finances. All round tho central en
closure Is a closely hoarded tailing or
fence too high for the bull to leap over,
sinco In the course of his evolution he
has not had time to learn tho acro
batic possibilities contained In a ladder
or a slight projection acting as n step.
Tho agile Mexicans, however, when too
closely followed for comfort, can elude
their four-footed pursuer by springing
over this fence by aid of the step and
aiigntlng upon a raised walk outside.
Tho baffled animal looks after them
with surprise nnd dlsplcasutc, but Is
soon dlvei ted.
The scene Is rather a gay one In the
brilliant sunshine. The official box,
whore Is frequently seen some Mexican
senor and senoin ot rank; the Presidio
band, of Mexico, numbering sixty or
more, In their brilliant uniforms; tlfe
presence of many of the "Rurales" or
cavalrymen, also gaily attired, go to
make up an exceedingly picturesque ef
fect. Through tho audience pass Mexi
can lads and lassies In native costume,
selling wares of various sorts, one
young follow Insisting vociferously thnt
you shall buy an official programme.
"Don't bother your neighbor by ask
ing questions," ho shouts with charm
ing frankness. "It's so monotonous.
Pay live cents and read it all for your
self." The band plays "The Toreador," and
you almost expect to see a lovely Car
men, with roses In her black locks, flit
forward to speak to that resplendent
picador who has Just entered the ring.
Then many other tesplendent gentle
men with yellow cloaks lined with ted,
disposed pictuitftqucly over their shoul
ders, appear. They wear satin and vel
vet and spangles galoio, and the won
der Is that they aro able to hop about
with so much alacrity In those amaz
ingly tight nether garments. They are
banderllleios or cuadrlllas,
Then enters Mr. Bull. He is a very
largo and comfortable looking animal,
this ono of today .He has a miracu
lous pair of horns, wide-spreading and
sharp. One of them curlti down a llttln
over his left eye, giving him a comlc-
l ally ruUIsn appearance. The picador
rides Jauntily armtnd on a small Mexl
enn horse and Irritates the hull more
or less by his flaunting red cloak. Af
ter the animal has discovered that this
horse, like the ono of yesterday, Is able
to make quicker turns than himself,
and Is therefore nn unmitigated nuis
ance tho plendor rides out and tho
"Chulos" or "Bandetllleros" begin their
patt of the giitiio. There ate four or
five of thein, each ono more stnrtllngly
bespangled than his brother, nnd they
skip merrily to nnd fro before tho be
wildered gaze of that hull until he Is
distracted with rod nnd yellow draper
ies nnd wishes ho were back on tho
plains. He ohnses ono In a calflsh, kit
tenish sort of fashion, awkwardly lop
ing toward him nnd getting his sharp
horns entangled In that vexatious
mantle, which never seems to have
within It tho coveted solidity of flesh.
Then another diverts his attention nnd
he starts angrily after hint. At tho
further side of tho arena Is a board
protection several feet high and about
a rod In length. It Is removed from
tho wall sufficiently to allow a man to
slip behind It when closely pursued,
but the bull, with his utmost endeav
ors, finds his unwieldly body too ex
pansive to crowd after him of the
red nnd yellow mantle. Sometimes
with nn ncutoncss which brings down
enthusiastic npplauso from the audi
ence ho Is clever enough to trot hastily
to the other end of the defense where
his tormentor Is about to emerge and
tho man is forced to withdraw precipi
tately. o
This sort of amusement Is kept up
for some time, the bnnderllleros adroit
ly eluding tho animal's approaches and
sometimes narrowly missing tho sharp
horns. Occasionally your heart gives
a big bump for you think that daring
fellow will surely got Impaled. The
next moment as ho lightly swings over
tho fence out of reach you almost wish
ho had been jabbed Just a little for tho
satisfaction of tho poor bull who must
surely bo tired of all this teasing.
Next, with a flourish of trumpets. In
rushes a matador, who. with two long
wands encircled with frills of red,
white nnd blue paper like a lamh-chop,
"kills" the animal amid the shouts and
applause of tho spectators and he trots
away contentedly. That Is all there Is
to the Buffalo bull-fight.
H. C. P.
To Wage Earners
and Others of
Moderate Income
Do not spend your money foolishly
because you havo so little of It, but
save what you can ftom month to
month nnd Invest It In something that
will multiply many fold. The mil
lionaires of this section were laboring
nif-n a generation ago and they pur
sued this course while most of their
comrades blew It all In. The pru
dent ones saw that fuel was a good
thing, that tho world had to havo
It. and they bought coal land, a little
at a time as thty could spare It, and
it has made them rich, and their fami
lies live and will live in the greatest
comfort, while tho descendants of
their imprudent comrades ate labor
ing as their fathers did for dayl
wages.
Keep this object lesson in mind.
Tho opportunities of tlTat earlier time
were In coal, today greater opportuni
ties exist In oil, which is fuel In a
more concrete form and Is ranldly
supplanting coal, because It Is easier
and cheaper to mine and handle, and
is, besides being a more economlo
fuel for all large consumers, profit
able for a hundred other uses. The
oil of California Is furnishing that
state with cheap fuel, for the lack of
which her progress has been woefully
retarded. Tho entire Pacific coast
will consume oil as a fuel, so that
the demand upon the oil fields of Cali
fornia Is unlimited. California oil
refmers will hold tho morkets of tho
far East and of the west coast of
South America. It Is plain to bo seen
that the oil fields of California will
be tho source of incaleu'ahle wealth,
far beyond what the coal mines of
Pennsylvania have been In the past.
All thoughtful men can see that tho
thing to do now to make money Is
to buy the shares of conservative, re
putably managed oil companies hav
ing large holdings of undoubted oil
lands secured nt low prices, nnd only
requiring development to become tho
source of enormous revenues for
shorpholders.
The PACIFIC COAST AND TEXAS
OIL COMPANY has in the most Im
portant oil fields mnnagers of ability
and integrity and of the highest prac
tlcal qualifications for their business,
nnd the shares of this company aro
today, without doubt, tho best invest,
ment obtainable. These shares would
be cheap at 4fc but are selling for
the time being at 20c per share, to
procure monev to bore tho first v.vlls.
The price Is sure to advance rapidly
to keep pace with tho developments
on tho company's lands and on ad
Joining lands. Tho market value of
tho lands is constantly advancing. Do
not delay making an investment In
this stock. As to the value of this
oil property and the character and
ability of its managers this company
refers, by permission, to the presi
dent of tho Broadway Bank nnd
Trust company, of Los Angeles, Cal.

and it is an opportunity that may never be repeated. The Trib
une may find the returns much less than the expense and would
then be unable to again make such generous offers. Such a con
dition will be The Tribune's loss and the contestants' gain.
There are many young men, and young women, too, who
would be glad of an opportunity to "work their way through col
lege," in fact, the presidents of these institutions are deluged with
applications for chances of this kind. Here the work for an entire
course of four years can all be accomplished in three short months,
and an education that would cost in cash $1,000 is assured with
out further outlay. Parents should urge their boys and girls to
enter the contest and work for one of the special rewards. One
of the eight is within the reach of everyone who really tries.
