THE CHARGES AGAINST THE JUSTICES

By informal, at least insufficient COM
plant, the Senate and Assembly have been
put upon inquiry as to whether two JUS
tees of the Supreme Court are physically
incapacitated from further service upon
the bench. The Constitution of the State
provides that when the Legislature is as
sembled in extraordinary session it shall
leeislate only upon the matters specified in
the call. The proclamation of the Gov
ernor in reference to the Judiciary does
not contemplate removal of Justices under
such charges. The constitutional provision
for the removal of Judges other than by
the method of impeachment, requires
concurrent resolution to be adopted by
two-thirds vote of each house, after a trial,
on notice to the accused, and opportunity
given to be heard.
1t is the burden of opinion that this is
not legislation, inasmuch as it does not
demand the requisites of bill or require
the concurrence of the Executive. The
only remaining question of authority is,
whether matter not Legislation may be
considered and acted upon by the extra
session, though not specified in the call
1t would appear, in present lights, that
this is to be answered in the affirmative.
Assuming this to be a well grounded point,
then the charges laid yesterday against
two of the Justices of the Supreme Court
for physical incompetency may be consid-
cred and acted upon by the Legislature
now in session, to ascertain if there is
cause for a proper complaint. No just
comment can be made upon the merits of
the charges until the answer of the JUS
tees is fled and the issue fairly joined. If
the occasion is seized upon for the purpose
of displacing portion Of the Court with
view of rebuking that body for its decision
in the late irrigation case, or-irrespective
of the wisdom Of the decision-indirectly
securing the reversal of the decree, it is no
more defensible than the original PROPOSE
ton to reorganize the Court for the same
purpose, which has been abandoned be-
cause of the protest of the people. One OF
the Justices charged concurred in and one
dissented from the judgment in the case
referred to. The removal Of the two
would create vacancies that might be so
filled as to insure the reversal. If that is
the purpose, then its indirection should
not shield it from condemnation. That
which may be right in itself may still
merit disapproval if made the pretext for
accomplishing indirectly that which it is
admitted is improper by direct assault
There is no need for other comment than
this at this time

SENATOR STANFoRD's views on the
current issues before the Legislature, as
reported by dispatch elsewhere, are pro-
nounced. 1t viii be seen that he reflects
the growing sentiment in favor not only OF
State control, but State ownershipof water,
but under such regulations that for the
cost of condemning rights by the State for
purposes of irrigation, the State shall
recover back-on easy terms, of course
from the people who avail of the water
thus taken by the State.

SURPLUS WATERS.

There is a good deal OF talk in and out
Of the Legislature about using the sur
plus waters" of navigable streams for irri-
cation. Confined to It's strict meaning,
there can be no objection TO this, and we
have said that they might we'll be so used
without objection. But it must never be
lost sight OF that the Federal Government,
and no other authority, is the judge of
what water may be diverted without dan
ger TO navigation. Now, any checking Of
the current of a stream lessons its carrying
and its securing capacity, and on these two
depend the integrity of its navigable chan
nels. 1t follows, also, that any starving Of
the streams tributaries that will lessen the
capacity of the river to clear its channels
tends 10 impair navigation, and thus in
vades the compact made with the Federal
Government by the "Act of Admission"
that the navigable streams shall remain
free highways for the people. Unfortu
nately there is no navigable river in the
valley regions of California that is not
more or less burdencd with artifcially de-
posted matter, requiring even more than
the effects of the river for its clearance.
This matter has been so deposited by the
reckless neglect OF the State and the Fed
eral Governments. The surest way to its
clearance would be a complete system of
ieveeing, by which the full volume of the
waters of the rivers would be driven
10 do duty against the matter and pro-
ject it into the bays below, plan people
who esteem harbOr integrity of value view
with apprehension. But while the ques-
ton of river cleaning methods is at issue,
and the subject of preventing the descent
of fresh deposits is being neglected, there
docs during winter and spring go through
the demoralized banks of the rivers vast
quantity of water which certainly is sur
plus, and the use and storage of any part of
this for irrigation is not likely to be ever
the subject of objection. So, too, il may be
determined by engineering examination
that the tributaries of navigable streams
may be deprived at times of part of their
volume without injury tothe main streams,
and, indeed, this is already done in the
Sierras on large scale. All these facts
and factors must be kept in view by any
wisdom that is exercised in the direction
of settling the irrigation question.

WHEREAS. We as body are aware of the great
necessity. In large portion of this State, for a
just and equitable system of irrigation that will
equably distribute the waters of the State so
that the dry and unwatered sections shall be
supplied with proper share thereof for agri-
cultural and other beneficial purposes: aud
whereas, 1t is apparent to the members of this
legislative body that any extended legislation
enacted at the present time on the subject OF
irrigation would be likely to result in the COM

What Baking Powder shall we Use


This plain question comes home to
every house-keeper. We all desire pure.
and wholesome food and this cannot be
had with the use of impure or poisonous
baking powder There can be no longer
question that all the cheaper, lower
grades OF baking powders contain either.

as we may be to admit so much against
what may have been some of our house.
hold gods, there can be no gainsaying
the unanimous testimony of official chem~
lists Indeed, analysis seem to find no
baking powder entirely free from some
one of these Objectionable ingredients
except the Royal, and that they report
as chemically pure We find some of
the baking powders advertised as pure,
to contain, under the tests of PrOfs.
Chandler, Habirshaw and others, nearly
swelve per cent of lime. while others,
are made from alum with no cream
of tartar. This, We presume accounts
for their lack of leavening powder as
sometimes complained of by the cook,
and for the bitter taste found in the bis
cults so frequently complained of by our
selves.
But aside from the inferiority of the
work done By these powders. the physi
Ologists assure US that lime and alum
taken into the system in such quantities
us this are injurious. They are not de>
composed By heat nor dissolved in mix
ing or baking. They go with the bread,
therefore. into the stomach, where their
physiological effects are indigestion. dys~
pepSia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why do
these cheap baking powder makers use
these things? Alum is three cents a
pound, lime still cheaper, while cream of
tartar costs thirty five or forty. The
reasons for the chemical purity of the
Royal baking powder were recently Civ
en- in the New York Times in an interest,"

filming argols. or crude cream of tartar
1t seems that it is only under this process
that cream of tartar can be freed from
the lime natural to it and rendered chem
ically pure; that the patents and plant for
this, cost the Royal baking powder COM
pany about half q million dollars, and
that they maintain exclusive control of
the rights.
Prof. McMurtrie. late chief chemist of
the Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington, D. G., in the interests of com
merce, made au examination of this pro-
cess, and reported upon the results at
tanned in the refined cream of tartar.
The following extract from his report
would seem to answer the question re-
peated at the head of this article. and
which is so frequently propounded by the
housekeeper:
81 have examined the cream of tartar
used by the Royal baking powder COM
pany in the manufacture of their baking
powder, and find it to be perfectly pure,
and free from lime in any form. The
chemical tests to which have submitted
