VOICE OF THE PRESS.

| Yreka Journal: 1.-The Pope has taken a
poll OF the American Archbishops upon
Mgr. Satolli's proposition declaring that
| the Catholic Church, while reserving to
herself the right to give instruction in
faith and morals, saw nothing wrong in
permitting Catholic children learning the
| first elements or even getting instruction
in the higher branches of arts and sci
ences in the schools controlled by the
State. The result is a majority of four to
one against the proposition, and the Pope
will therefore not approve the PROPOSE
ton. Those people who hailed with
! pleasure the evidence of the abandon
ment OF the fight of the Catholic priest
hood upon the American public schools
will be correspondingly disappointed and
disguised with the result
Marysville Appeal: ''Not in the past
ten years has there been such hopeful
| business outlook in California at the close
| of a winter season as now. There We're
more tourists in the State than ever be-
fore, and they are staying longer than has
been their practice heretofore. hundreds
of them have become investors, and the
names of non-residents appear promi-
nently in almost all lists of incorporators
| and directors of new enterprises. The
home people, however, still hold firm
hand in the direction of their own affairs,
and they show stronger disposition to
J
at any time in the past decade. The
tendency now is from the south to the
north and at present Central California
is being the most extensively benefited.
AS we of the north become better known
our records will show more that the few
stragglers of the present"
Modesto NelOS: Low prices, together
with the oft-recurring uncertainties of the
wheat crop. must sooner or later result in
a still more general diversifcation of the
products OF California farming. Wheat
culture, as an exclusive product, is stead
lily becoming more and more unsatisfac-
tory TO farmers. Irrigation will enable
farmers of StanlslauS to successfully cul-
tivate and produce many products not
now thought of by our people,"
Fresno Republican: "a Willows, Co
lusa County, newspaper announces, as an
evidence OF its enterprise and the pro-
gress of the community, that it has quit
cutting paper with a cheese knife, having
purchased paper-cutting machine. 1t
concludes the announcement with an in
vitation to delinquent subscribers to
stand in with the march OF progress by
paying up, and also requests those who
can't pay and have no excuse for living,
to drop in and chop their heads off with
the paper-cutter, thus giving their home
paper the latest news in the suicide line.
1t is pity that paper with metropolitan
instincts should be cramped upin small
rural field"
Newcastle NelCS: ''The Placer Herald
says that the time is coming around for
the wide-tire ordinance to take effect in
Placer County. In self-defense, those
who use wagons should do all they can to
see that this ordinance is enforced. 1t is
economy in the long rum The farmers
who use the roads most and who pay the
burden of taxes to keep them up, should
use wide tires without being compelled
to do so by ordinances. They grumble
continually about high taxes, and by
their own acts they help to bring about
this result, by using narrow tires on their
freight wagons. Let the farmers study
this question. They will see that it is
cheaper to use wagons with wide tires
than to pay taxes to repair roads cut to
pieces by wagons with narrow tires"
Napa Register: "Judge Ham talks to
and of the Directors of the Veterans,
Home in manner not to be misunder-
stood. He says the home is and for years
has been in the hands OF San Francisco
clique; that its affairs have been grossly
mismanaged; that personally he has no
quarrel with any member of the board,
and that the accusation that his charges
are the result of his failure to be reelected
is not true. He simply believes there is
something wrong and that it is his duty
to probe 1t to the bottom"
Los Angeles Times: Judge Mckinley
of Duluth is in a singular position. Heis
Judge of the Circuit Court, in which his
own wife, recently admitted to the bar,
will practice. And yet he is probably the
only man in the world to-day who can
prevent his wife from having the last
word or fine her for contempt if she does
not stop talking when ne tells her tor
Chico Chronicle Record: "Why is it
that men will prevaricate in so outra-
geous manner when it comes to giving
an account of their property valuation to
the Assessor? At this time and in this
matter men who are entirely truthful in
all other matters will evade and dodge a
truthful statement OF their property hold
ings in most senseless and ridiculous
fashion. If a mans property is actually
worth 10000 he tries to wiring it in on
the Assessor at a valuation OF s. 600: if a
merchants stock is worth $500, he will
try awfully hard to succeed in rating it at
$500. And SO the story goes. The man
OF small means who owns his little home
is expected by the large business man to
