Kern County Californian: Never was
there such a complete vindication as that
which has come to Professor koebele and
the State Board of Horticulture i'll con-
nection with their Introduction of the
Steel-colored lady bug as an enemy of the
red scale. A confirmed attack all along
the line was made upon them during the
past winter and spring. They were
charged with squandering the States
money the lady bug was said to be of no
use AS a parasite Of the red scale, and all
sorts of abuse were showered upon them.
Through it all they have maintained a
dignined silence, waiting for the Vindi-
cation which they knew would come and
which has now arrived. \ dispatch from
Los Angeles states that investigation
shows that the lady bugs have increased
in number and are making clean work of
the scale, with the promise that it will
prove as deadly an enemy thereto as did
the veoalia to the cottony cushion scale.
This is just what Professor kOebele and
the State Board claimed and all that they
ever claimed. At the very outset they
stated that this new parasite differed
radically from the vedalia in that it was
propagated far more slowly and good re-
t'ONNSN~
months.
COlusa Sun Anent the war speech of
Governor Waite of Colorado, it has been
suggested that that State be allowed to
secede and set up little silver dominion
of her own. Suppose it should be prac-
teal to allow her to do this? Would it
not be an illustration of the United States
trying TO set up money of her own?
Could Colorado keep up the price of sill
yer by making it legal tender in that
State If clothed with the attributes Of
sovereignty to that extent? Every body
says Mop Then could any commercial
nation?
San Jose Mercury: Every day finds the
project OF grand California Midwinter
Fair increasing in volume and in the GER
tainty of a large success. The counties
quite generally are selecting representa-
tives and giving assurances OF their cor
dial support. AS the people of the State,
and especially of San Francisco, become
appraised of the amount of assistance to be
expected from the East their enthusiasm
grows apace.
Bakersfield Californian; The Southern
Pacific Railroad has come to the aid of
the fruit growers Of California III sub
Stantial fashion by materially reducing
the rate on canned fruits to Eastern
points. ON Thursday Of this week a rate
of $40 ton will be put into effect on
canned fruits to all points reached by the
Southern Pacific, Rio Grande, Burlington
and Rock Island lines. Formerly the
rate was SO a car. Last winter it was re-
duced to SIS ton, and now the new rate
Will permit OF canned fruit being shipped
for 500 ton. If the banks will only
do their share now i'll advancing money
on warehouse receipts, as in the past,
there will be material Frightening of
the prospect in this direction. With the
rate quoted there ought to be a stop to the
senseless cry that the railroad STILES in
stead Of promotes the industries of the
coast.
Oakland Times: Our bankers and
money lenders are pursuing a very
shortsighted policy in refusing to loan
money to the merchants on ample and
approved security. They are simply
Fastening inevitable ruin by withhold
ing from the farmer the means by which
he may harvest and market his crop.
They are retarding the prosperity Of the
community by compelling the cessation
Of labor in our manufactures for lack Of
money to carry on these industries.
There is no necessity, in California, in
any event, to refuse to loan to the
merchant, the farmer and the manu-
tacturer. The material resources of the
State were never in better condition; the
outlook for the future was never brighter;
and the mass of citizens comprising the
commonwealth were never more willing
to depend upon honest industry for the
livelihood that is theirs by every right of
law and nature.
Fresno County Enterprise: "a Gov
eminent of the people, by the people, for
the people," From Topeka, which is the
capital of cyclone-swept, dronpbt-
burned, cinchbugged, calamity camp
Kansas, comes the following dispatch:
Governor Lewellen advises strikers in
the coal mines to hold out, and saws that
If operators attempt to use non-union
men there Will be trouble Coal has
doubled in price because of the non-pro-
ductiOn. one company has secured 900
negro workmen from Alabama. have
built a stockade about their place and de-
clare they will work their mine" Evil
IDENTIFY, the people" are the union labor
ers. The few millions outside are some-
thing else. Let them starve.
san Leandro Reporter: 1t is doubtful if
there is single enterprising merchant
IN the State who will not admit that ad-
vertIslng pays; every merchant who has

more sales when he advertises than When
he does not. Still there are MANY mer-
chants who Will advertise largely for a
few weeks, and then not advertise at All
for longer period. Now if it paws and

do IL to advertise for a week or a month
1t Will certainly pay to advertise ali the
time. The merchant who gains the at
tentlon Of the people and then keeps
them informed in regard to what he has

larger trade than the one who advertises
lrregularly-who let's the meat in his
business sandwich get stale. 1t is per-
sistent advertising that pays.
Oakland Tribune: There are some in
nuences at work to kill the Midwinter
Fair by Withholding money and Undue
ing others to do so. 1t is not necessary to
enter into discussion OF the underlying
motives Tor tins opposition. 1t is enough
to say that they are contemplate. There
can be no fair without money. The peo
pie are unit in favor OF the exposition
and are looking forward to it hopefuIIv.
They regard it as the one thing that NAV
bring back prosperity. or at least avert a
more serious depression in the financial
situation. The people see clearly on this
