An Emperor at the Plow.

In order to emphasize the import.
ance of the cultivation of the soil and
to encourage his subjects to follow
agricultural pursuits, the Emperor of
China sometimes performs certain
rites at the "Emperor's Field" and
goes through the form of blowing and
other work'of the h~usbandman. One
day recently the Emperor set out at
daybreak from his palace, with a nu-
merous and magnificent train of
courtiers and others. Before breakfast
the Emperor arrived at the shrines of
the deity presiding over agriculture,
and his majesty stopped to offer up his
Thanksgiving and sacrifices. After
changing his dress, the morning re-
past was served, at the end Of which
the Emperor proceeded to the field, at
the four n of which were erected
four pavilions, where the seeds of
wheat and other cereals were placed.
In the center were numbers Of mag
Efficiently attired courtiers, each hold
ing aloft a ~many-colored flag, while on
the side of the passage were scores of
aged and white-haired farmers, each
having in his hand some agricultural
implement. Placing his left hand on
the pillow and holding the whip in his
right hand the Emperor began the
ceremony of the occasion. By prear-
rangement the officers did their al
lotted share, some welding the agri-
cultural implements, while others scat
tered seeds out of the baskets as if
sowing, while the Emperor was busted
with the pillow, which was hitched 10 a
richly caparisoned bullock draped in
yellow and led by two of the Emper-
or's body guards. On the Emperor
finishing his round at the pillow the
three princes were ordered to go

cessfully throttled and the moral tone of
the community strengthened.
And now after twenty years and over
Of hard struggle, we look back upon
series of self triumphs on the part of the
Capital City accomplished in the teeth of
obstacles such as no city in the Union has
encountered, and in the face of public
sentiment that was long non-progressive
and debilitating; triumphs that presage
for the Sacramento of the next ten years
advance, prominence and commercial
importance that will make her second
only to the metropolis.
The city trade has at no time been mar
rowed, but has steadily expanded. and
to-day assures the city of still greater ex-
tent and volume throughout all the CEN
tral and northern regions. With no bank
failures, no commercial embarrassments,
no houses closed by the Sheriff, no dis
tress in the highways, though pinched by
the hard times and feeling the stress of
the financial stringency. Sacramento is
to-day an enviable city, with the news at
hand to crafty her people that the con-
tract has at last been closed for the plac-
ing of the lines and the machinery plant
that will, it is understood, within few
months result in the delivery in this city
Of electrical power generated in the most
economic manner at the great American
River dam, twenty miles above the city.
What that means to manufacturing, to
city economy, to business activity, all the
people understand.
Sacramento's future, therefore, prom
ises all that the most ardent friends of the
city could wish. She has taken her place
in the front rank at last, and nothing
short of a calamity against which human
foresight cannot prepare, nor human
energy avert, will stay her march to the
position of greater prominence she will
early take among the cities of the land.

AJURY has determined that the avn
ing ordinance shall be enforced. 1t is
nothing less than a judgment that the
city authorities are wise in their reso-
luton to remove from the streets the un-
slightly posts planted there to uphold
mid-air structures for property owners
who have no title or right to occupy the
highway with suchssupports. This de-
cision may be taken as an end 10 all OPP
position to the removal Of post awnings.
1t is settlement of the controversy on
that head, with which the people should
now concur who have held out against
the ordinance.

The Riverside Enterprise is puzzled to
account for the fact that the people to be
most benefited by good roads are most
opposed to them. 1t is not strange at all.
1t is the result of lack of information as
to what constitutes good road building.
As rule these people think little coarse
gravel sprinkled on mud means a good
road. The failure of such "road-over-
seer-good-roads" has led many people to
reject propositions for roads that are
worthy to be called permanent highways
When the Road Overseer and work out
system were abandoned we began dis
tinct advance that will lead US up to per-
manent roadbuilding. Our word for it,
a single stretch of ten miles of modern
good road in Riverside County, built by
men who know their business, will con-
vert every Riverside opponent to good
roads within the year.

A PROPOSITION sIMPLIFIED.

Solano county needs twelve good roads
right away. 1t is estimated that the
longest will be twenty-four miles, and
the shortest three. The cost is fixed at
$1,000 a mile for the 152 miles. That will
necessitate the use of 1904, ZOO. The plan
is suggested of the county issuing bonds
for 40 years for 100000 at per cent. Last
year Solano spent S35,901 Is on her roads,
and will spend as much more next year,
but she does not get permanent roads.
The interest on $500, 900 will be Sl5, 900 and
the sinking fund 81 800 year, total S22,-
500.
The Rio Vista NelCS asks:
Which do the people want, poor roads at
S35, ,901 Is per year, for ali time to come,
with no enhancement of property, or excellent
roads at S22. 500 with the amount continually
growing less and all property steadily ad-
vancing by the improved surroundings?
The opponents of the scheme reply:
"But you will pay all these 40 years vast
sum in interest, which, to avoid taxation
of bonds, must be sent out of the State"
That is not wholly true. The bonds can
be made on five, ten, fifteen, twenty,
twenty-five, thirty, thirty-fve and forty
year calls, so that their sum total will
steadily decrease each five years. and the
last lot will call for but s., 800.
However, interest is the rent of capita!
which the borrower believes he can make
better use of than the lender. If Ifinterest
is paid on the capital to build roads, in
terest income to the county by reason of
having the roads must be taken into the
account That is to say, without the roads
will not the county pay or lose more than
interest on the sum needed to secure the
roads?
Interest output in all such cases must
be considered as offset by interest income
from the benefits secured by the use of
the capital borrowed. If A borrows 500
from B and pays him S. for its use one
year, and by that use makes another Sl00
and S. also, he has really paid nothing.
He has by the leverage of the loan made
the sum do service both ways.
Suppose that 500 is needed to place a
certain culvert by which A would be
enabled to save in the year S1O5 on trans
portation of his products to market. But
he declines to borrow, and the culvert is
not placed. Has not A really lost more
than the interest on the money be might
have borrowed? In other words, by re-
fusing to use the capital has he not paid
more than interest upon it?
