THE VOICE OF THE PRESS

Downieville Messenger: The miners of
California should bear in mind that it is
only through organized effort that any
good results can be accomplished. They
now, for the first time in the history of
California, have a thoroughly equipped
organization, officered by able and trust
worthy men. The State Miners Associ-
alton has accomplished much, and can
accomplish much much more if the pro-
per support be given it by the residents
of the mining counties. True, the associ-
alton has been deceived and BETRAYED in
some instances where the association had
right to expect better treatment, but
the association itself has always been on
the right road and has done much toward
molding public opinion and preparing for
legislative victories.
Tulare Register: What is there par
ticular1y funny about buying climate?
There is nothing more intimately con-
cerned in the comfort and enjoyment of
life, and men pay fancy prices for what
adds to their pleasure. Ii one can save
what he would otherwise eXpend for coal
and invest it in open doors, fresh vege-
tables or fruits and blooming flowers, he
has certainly added to his enjoyment of
lite if be is rational being. Further
more, if an acre of California soil could
be laid down with all its productive
power anywhere in the East, it would
sell for as much money as it does here
even if the owner had to hibernate for
four months every winter and build a
bomb-proof cellar for summer emer-
gencies. To many people climate may be-
worth more than land, and the kind we
have would sell readily without a real
estate attachment If a title could be given.
Oakland Tribune: The newspapers
that are condemning Governor Penn0yer
| for his curt telegram to Secretary Gres-
! ham overlook one important fact
! that it is clear that the Administration
/ has entered into a conspiracy with the
| Chinese six Companies to suspend the
/ operations of the Geary law for a season.
/ This is clearly wrong, and while Gov
/ ernor Pennoyer might have been more
! courteous, he had perfect right to cali
attention to it. He intended to make an
/ impression, probably, and if so he sue
| ceeded, and for the good of the country
/ 1t is the duty of the President to enforce
! the laws, and the duty of the Supreme
/ Court TO declare them imperative when
/ in conflict with constitutional provisions.
( That the telegram to the Governors was
/ impertinent is admitted by Secretary
I Gresham, who regrets that a mercurial
/ subordinate should have placed the Ad-
ministration in that attitude. Pennoyer
may be a boor, an ass and all that, but
| here is an instance in which he is right,
and the country generally upholds him
/ in it,
/ San Diego Union: President Jordan of
! the Stanford University urges that it is
men of strong character with a college
education that are wanted in life. He
| does not clearly indicate how parents are
| to tell whether their boys are weak or
/ strong. Those who learn easily and are
regarded as the leaders in their classes.
often fail in after life to maintain their
place in the line. The dullards often
prove the ADLER men. There is no sure
index to the future of the boys who seek
a college education. Parents should OBJ
serve a strict impartiality in the educa-
| ton of their sons, leaving to the boys
