Woodland Maui: Christian ministers
of the East are as usual indulging in lot
Of rot on the Chinese question. Every
time new phase OF this subject comes
into view the ministers of the gospel of
Eastern States, who know nothing about
the practical workings of unrestricted
Chinese immigration, indulge in a gem
eral condemnation of any steps token to
exclude the coolies.
Benicia NelU Era: Some of our friends
in the outside counties are afraid that San
Jose is tagging i'll the Capital fight, but
fear won't hurt anything. No,
neither Will San Jose.
Santa Cruz Sentinel, The agitation for
good roads seems to be bearing good fruit.
From many States come reports Of ex-
perimental trials of improved methods
of road-building and repairing.
Stock ton independent: Rev. Il. f. Pay
son delivered sermon against anti
Chinese legislation in New York on
Sunday, in which he spoke Of the United
States as a Christian nation. As Payson
and his kind say this is a country with Il
Goddess Constitution, it is impossible to
know by what process of reasoning he
can consider it Christian country
Tulare Register: Some of those rusty
dollars salted away III San Francisco
turned loose in legitimate industry would
help out wonderfully just now. OF course
the interior can dig its way out, and Will
do so, but if the metropolis would put less
advice and more cash into the partner
ship we could do more business.
Pomona Progress: 1t is a step in the
right direction, but the Geary Act should
be extended to cover all classes of immi-
grants W hose presence in the country is
as Objectionable as that Of the people
against whom it is especially directed.
[ nquestlOnably, IA reasonable
length OF time viii De allowed by the
Government for the registration of the
Chinese already here. Such a concession
is lust in view OF the uncertainty hereto
fore existing as to the coustitutionalIty of
the law requiring registration. 1t would
be the hight OF folly to attempt at once
the deportation OF all Cinnamon who have
not registered.
Yreka Journal: Good roads mean much
TO our people. This subject has attracted
the attention of our wisest and most
skilled economists. Good roads mean a
saving of power, time and private COM
fort. They save expense from breakage
and wear ana tear OF vehicles and horse
flesh. The saving III this particular would
be greater than all the expense incurred
in maintaining good roads. In the balmy
DAYS OF the Roman Empire all good roads
led to Rome. How wise those people were
in q commercial point. Any town or city
that has good roads leading TO it com
mands the trade.
Tulare Register: Tulare viii put a con-
siderable quantity OF dried fruit upon the
market this year, and by another season,
if all goes well, we may have enough high
grade fruit TO make it interesting for a
cannery.
Fresno Republican: We are not only
eating Salt Lake potatoes, but all kinds OF
vegetables shipped from san Francisco,
straw berries from Sacramento and cher
ries from the northern part of the State.
We are even eating ham and bacon from
the East, and frequently draw on that
portion Of the earth Tor our supply OF
eggs. All these things we can produce in
abundance right at our doors but we per-
sist in ignoring the very things which al
ways bring cash and fair prices and rush
into one or two channels OF production,
the consequences of which are familiar
story.
San Jose Record: Let US hope that the
members of the Council will act promptly
and vigorously tonight in the matter OF
street improvements and in providing
