SAYS Childhood. the parents maya
zine:
our country's greatest element OF power and
OF nope lies in the homes and mothers. Who
are the kings among men to-day? The sons
whose mothers did spin, and weave and knit
and nurse, and who made bread with their
own hands. There is not prominent man
before the public to-day whose mother was
iashion-pampered woman.
No, nor is there one whose mother
spent her time in business circles, or the
bloom of whose womanhood was rubbed
off by contact with commercial life The
girl in the shop, behind the counter, in
the business Office. selling, trading,
checking off, filling orders, measuring
tape, and shouting leash here" is not to
be the mother of foremost men, nor the
hope of the true home, or pure domes-
ITCHY. The kings among men for the
future, as of the past, are to be those who
spring from mothers trained for the
home in the home, and not for and in
business life.

COMMENCING THE ROAD CONvEN-
TON.

The San Francisco Examiner, COM
mending the call for the State Road Con-
vention, well says that bad roads are to-
day one of the heaviest taxes on produc-
ton that the people are compelled to
bear. The Examiner adds:
1t costs three times as much to haul load
over fair dirt road as II costs to haIl ii over
q good macadam or TellOrd road. and this
cost has to be paid by the farmer or the man
who buys from him, or both 1t was demon
strated year or two ago that bad roads were
costing the people Of Tennessee over 81. oOD,-
600 year in the extra cost OF hauling. In
States that ship greater amounts OF produce
the loss IS correspondingly more. While no
approximation to the loss suffered by Cali
tornla has yet been made, 1t is probably not
less than that of Tennessee. 1t is great enough
TO demand strong effort TO lessen the tax on
Its industry.
We think the Examiners estimate too
low. 1t costs more than three times as
much to haul on dirt road compared
with the haul on Teltord macadam. If
we consider the time as treble, the output
of power double, the wear and tear
double, the horse feed double, the depre-
citation in land values, due to bad roads,
and add the difference between capital in
vested in the two cases, and between the
heavy annual tax for maintenance of the
road and the light tax for repairs of the
good road, and we will find that, exclu-
sive of added cost to the consumers of
products, the poor road costs more than
three times the demands of the perfect
road, upon producer, taxpayer and land
owner.
The Examiner thinks the loss to Cali
fornia is 100000 because of bad roads.
There is no data at hand to verify this
estimate. 1t will be one Office of the
coming convention to erect machinery for
gathering such data While the delegates
will bring in some memoranda of facts,
it will be impossible to analyze them and
get at aggregates during the session. We
incline to the belief that S7,O00,0O is in
excess, but If it is only $500, 900, divided
among the fiity-fve counties excluding
San Francisco and we have a dead
loss of 100000 a year to the taxpay-
ers of each county. But while in
some counties it is slightly more, in
some others it is very greatly in
excess of 100000. But it is enough, and
as the Examiner we'll put it, sit is worth
saving" But above and beyond this
matter of saving present loss there are
other and higher considerations, namely
first. that the settling up of the State is
retarded by reason of bad roads: second.
that the loss by reason of bad roads will
greatly increase as population augments
and lands are brought under cultivation;
third, that means to settlement and
population is ease of communication and
transportation; fourth, that means to
retention of population in rural districts
and to check the drift to towns is tc
bring town and farm nearer together by
good highways.

tated; every summer we have put over,
postponed and dawdled; every winter
we have laid the matter on the shelf.
The question is simply and fatty, 'Is a
beginning ever to be made?' If aye,
why not now? 1t is too late of course to
do very much, but we can at least discuss
plans, estimate cost of site, locate and
bond it, and prepare the way for work of
some sort next year. In fact, a good deal
OF actual work could be done in the conf
ing winter if new system is resolved
upon at the fall election, when the plans
should be submitted to the people.

THERE is no reason for taking any
stock in the story that Russia will make
New York one Of her naval stations. She
may arrange to dock her western ships
there and also at a point on the Pacific,
but that the Cars Government intends
any action looking in the direction of
warlike menace to other powers, by
making the port of New York station
for her fleet, is not reasonable. Russia
has no need to do anything of the kind.
She has no possessions so near such a
station as to call for such movement
and its consequent heavy expense. With
swift cruisers and five fleets constantly
cruising she can reach any point of the
globe as quickly as can any hostile
fleet,

THE Grass Valley Telegraph says all
that section now needs is outside capital
to come in and set the development mill
at work. That is all that any section
needs; when there is stagnation where
there ought to be activity it is usually
due to the want of capital. Silurianism
is pretty well killed off in California. but
outside capital is still the one chief need
of each section seeking development.

WHO OWNS CEDAR POINT

.a ,3agl WHO OWNS CEDAR POINT? Yh Moses W.tWilson recently had erected
 at Cedar Point, .abont 300 rods, from the
 upland, a small building and pavilion for
 Edward 0lmstead and his wife, who were to use them for residence and restaurant
 sell ice cream, soda water, sandwich
 es and sundries in, which they, occupied for the first time on Saturday, July |. On Monday morning, July 3, David Bradley, his two sons and son-in-law, with a constable of Saugatuck, appeared l on the scene and claimed the buildings were on his land, although they stood on l the open sand beach and many rods from the upland. After some. argument, MT 1 Bradley promised MT Olmstead not to mo2lest the buildings or his. family before
 noon of that day, so that he might get
 advice in relation to removing the build ings and his family. Before Mr Olm- I stead's return, however, MT Bradley or dered Mrs Olnstead and her little few
 months old daughter out of the building | into the hot sun and with crowbars and
 axes tore down the building, threw their
 furniture, cooking utensils, ice cream,
 etc., out on the beach in the hot sun, and
 then drew the demolished building on to
 his own land and threw it into a pile
 there. When Mir Wilson heard of the | transaction, he, accompanied by Daniel
 Driscoll, sheriff7s deputy, and John w. Gault, constable, and others, who came
 to his assistance, immediately went 10
 the place and took the buildings off Brad | ley's land and put them up where they | had stood on the beach before. It IS an
 old adage that whom the gods wish to
 destroy they first make mad. The pub
 lie have for a great many years enjoyed this place with it's open beach and beau
 tiful bathing facilities and DO doubt will
 great many more. It is to be hoped
 that Bradley and his near by advisor who
 dislike to see the common people enjoy
 themselves, will now resort to the courts
 and once for all, settle this question of
 public or private rights on this beach, | that has been not only: a pride but d
 source of enjoyment and health to West port people and those for miles around
 who have enjoyed it's comforts.-f One ot 1 the Public. s2#5{ r!"zta r}# ztnG8}Hra

The tobacco crop is looking well. The growth in early set pieces is very rapid

 Many pieces are hood the second time and will soon begin to cover the ground. The average will not vary much from last year. But two or three old crops are in the hands of the growers.
