Some Ideas From Interior California
Journals.
Oakland Times: The expectation and
Importation of gold is controlled by the
same laws as the expectation and i'm
portation of any other commodity. i'll ad-
dition to the natural laws which control
its influx and retluX as money. AS
money the Office of gold is TO pay the bal
ance of trade between countries, but apart
from the balance of trade Influencing the
flow of the metal from one nation to an
other, there is at work the law to which
it is subject as a mere commodity.
Palermo Progress: People who have
much wealth and find it difficult to be
happy on that account might try the ex-
pertinent of helping those who are in
financial distress. The experiment is
worth trying.
Red Bluff NeacS: We belong to the
class that believes the United States have
no use for the Sandwich Islands. and
that annexation would be great mis-
take. We think they would be source
of trouble and danger.
Newman Banner: 1t is misnomer to
call football, as at present fought, a
sport.
Oroville Mercury The fact that Wash
ingtOn navel oranges, grown at Oroville,
have already been marketed here this
season speaks volumes for the early ma
turity of fruit IN the northern citrus belt.
The further fact that these oranges brought
as high as 81 so box is evidence of their
high quality.
Colusa Sun: We were at Los Angeles
this fall. The people had heard Of hard
times but felt it not. We went out around
the country and found small farms. That
is universal. There is no hard times;
"a " c1lul
the rule.
Woodland Democrat: Whatever may
be said OF the rough habits and unrehned
tastes of our barbarian ancestors, no
such cruelty or wanton destruction Of
Gods creatures has been charged to them
as that practlced in procuring ornaments
for the modern Woman's head.
San Jose Mercury: The process that
purified literature can purify journalism,
If it should be needed. Why should any
man or woman read newspaper which
they believe to be demoralizing? Why
should they take it home If it is corrupt
ing? There are plenty of good newspa-
pers IN the country, why not buy and
read them?
Stockton Mail: Our dealings with other
Governments is upon the basis of what
they are and not what they should be.
We should like to see England Repub-
lie, but IL is not our business to make her
Republic except through the teaching
of our bright example.
Riverside Enterprise 1t rather looks
as though the football craze were being
pushed to the verge of that brutality
which renders prize lighting SO objection
able. A San Jose dispatch concludes the
story of ''friendly' game between the
Stanford University Club and team
from that city by saying: "Taylor and
Wykoff had their noses broken, and Ed
wards had leg dislocated." 1t appears
further that 5000 persons, presumably
men and women of culture, were present
to witness the breaking of the noses and
dislocating of the limb-about as big
crowd as usually gathers to watch pair
of pugilists pummel each other for
purse.
Alturas NeaO Era: Mr.. Huntington's
action is certainly praiseWorthy, and the
public should be willing to give him due
credit for it. Ii the settlers had almost
any other individual to deal with, the
chances are that the victor would avail
himself of all the law allowed him. and
SO well as they will with the railroad
company.
Oakland Tribune: 1t is rather hard to
find a man in Oakland now who would
agree to a reversion to the system of free
riding on the local trains. In fact, all
men agree that the new system is a great
improvement over the old, If only in the
matter of the abolition of the local train
hoodlum, but the change has worked
more good than that, for it has helped
the suburbs materially, while, so far as is
yet apparent, it has worked no harm to
: the business center.
