This thrifty little village that al
ready presents quite an imposing ap-
pearance together with the country
from which it is to derive its wealth
and importance, is deserving of more
than passing notice from the tourist
seeking pleasurable, relaxation from
the cares ofbusiness, and the capital
ist intent upon a judicious investment
of his funds. 1t is an unfortunate
fact that many who come into our
county to examine its yet almost un-
developed resources, go away from us
unfavorably impressed, for the simple
reason that they do not stay long
enough, or look far enough to dis
cover all ofour charms, beauties and
unrevealed agricultural advantages.

Mr.. HoUGHToN is the originator of
the theory that If q man commits a
wrong act and fails to realize a hand
some sum thereby, he must be held
blameless. In his speech here on
Wednesday evening he admitted that
he voted for the back salary steal but
said, 81 gained only $439, and I don't
think that enough to justify charge
of mercenary conduct This is the
weakest attempt at justification on
record. He voted away the peoples
money but as he got small portion of
it, he thinks he should not be held re-
sponsible for the outrage he aided
in perpretating. According to Mr..
HoUaHToN, If man murders another
for his money and finds only small
sum on the body of his victime, he
has committed no crime. If this no.
ton obtains it is wrong to punish for
small offenses and the laws furnishing
petty larceny are wrong and should be
expunged from the statutes.

WHY was it that the Democrats
gave HoUGHToN so nearly their en-
tire vote in a portion of Monterey
county at the last election, when that
party was largely in the majority.
We answer, because those people re-
ceived pledge from the Southern Pa
cifc Railroad Company that the in
fiuence of that powerful corporation
should be devoted to a division ofthat
county which was to come before the
next Legislature in this form. an act
to create the county Of San Benito.

thoroughly that pledge was carried
out. ( - ~ = 4sAe4 - t-~

Business Men who Dabble in Stocks.

1t is said that the banks OF discount are en-
deavoring to perfect plan by which they
may privately ascertain the names of mer-
chants and business men who dabble in
stocks, the object being to mark them and to
curtail the credit heretofore extended to
them. This is right. A man legitimately
engaged in a business to which he Is giving
close personal attention is entitled to liberal
credit, but when he steps aside from it to
take risks in stock gambling, he can hardly
ing money which should be kept in it. When
a bank loans a merchant money, IL does so
under the belief that he is using the money
prudently In his legitimate calling; when,
therefore, he uses 1t in the risky business OF
stock purchases, he acts foolishly for himself
and dishonesty toward his creditors. The
banks propose to know, who among their
customers do this, and to treat them accord
ingly. We are glad Oft. Anything that Will
tend to check the folly Of stock-gambling
must meet with the hearty approval Of all
who wish to see legitimate business prosper
and good morals promoted, T. E
