QUESTION OF MAJORITY.
Duty of Sacramento in the COMING
Election.
From the Sunday News.

From the Sunday News.
The talk now is Of the plurality that
Grove l.. Johnson will receive In the
Second District. Estimates run from ], 500
to 800 as his plurality in sacramento
County. Neither of the figures should
seem too high, unless Sacramento delib-
erately makes up its mind to throw awav
a valuable opportunity to accomplish
something for itself by the election to
Congress of one OF her most distinguished
citizens. We have no idea that the people
entertain any such notion as that. Sacra-
mento ought 10 have the Congressman
from this district, and will have him if
her citizens are loyal to themselves. We
hope TO see such majority in this county
for Mr.. Johnson that il would be no half
hearted Endorsement of the people, but an
emphatic and unmistakeable testimonial
not only to the distinguished citizen him
SELF but to the fact that the people of this
community are alive to their own inter
esis, and that they are ready to pail to-
getner whenever the public good calls
them.
That is the way we feel about Mr. john
son. We believe that he is the best man
Ill the district TO represent our people in
Congress. We know that his ambition
lies in the right direction, that his in
dustry never lags, that his faculty of tact
would help him vastly in his new field.
and that his commanding ability would
enable him TO do more for the people than
any other citizen of the district could do.
1t seems to US, indeed, that the reasons
why Grove l.. Johnson ought to he
elected are so palpable that it is almost
idle to enumerate them. Especially
difficult is it TO discover why any Repub-
lican in Sacramento should conclude to
vote against him, while his candidacy
appeals, we think irresistibly, to the in
dependent voters who do not permit
partisanship to influence their decision.

THE English creditors OF the Central
Pacific Railroad Company, with English
stockholders, have made a manifestation
of their interest in the security the road
is to them. This may serve TO open the
eyes of the foreclosure shouters to the
fact that before the United States Govern
ment can ioreelose its mortgage it must
discharge the senior lien. That done and
the second mortgage foreclosed the Gov
ernment will have paid out twice the
amount of money required to duplicate
the road and stock it. In the light OF
that fact what is the obvious duty of the
wise creditor? Clearly to so conserve
the interests of the road as to enable it to
earn itself free of the senior Indebtedness
that the security of the later debt may
not be wholly lost.

a WEEKLY contemporary takes the
daily press of the city to task for alleged
injustice to the City Trustees in the mat
ter of the saloon grant on the road to the
cemetery. II says that there was no
proposition to open a saloon at the gates
of the cemetery, but that refusal to grant
such license was put of record by the
board and license granted for saloon
thousand feet away. That is disin-
genious, to put it mildly. Nobody said
that the Trustees were attempting to
open a saloon at the gate of the cemetery.
That matter was disposed of long, long
ago, and a saloon at that point was
broken up. In this case it was simply an
application to permit another saloon to
be opened on the only line of sidewalk to
the cemetery and within 500 feet of the
gate. The Trustees should pray to be de-
liyered from such laundering advocates
as our weekly contemporary. Even
those who voted for the new rum-mill
do not defend their action by citing the
TACT that some months ago another saloon
was closed by the board that was bit
nearer to the home of the dead.

A Lively Pebble.

of fishing" said A. r. Grant. Upon
his trips he usually brought home
few pretty pebbles in his pocket for
his 5 year-old daughter. One day he
went fishing and hung his coat upon
a bush. After catching a few fish he
gathered some pebbles, put on his
coat and went home. a distance of five
or six miles His little girl met him
and at once explored his pockets to
see what he had brought for her.
Suddenly she screamed and ran, her
cries continuing as she went. The
father. bevildered at her strange
conduct, looked around and saw d
snakes head sticking out OF his
pocket, the reptile darting it's fangs
in an angry way, ready to strike. 1t

Mr. Harmon. who moved its adoption:
i Whereas. 1t has come to the knovl-
edge OF the Board Of County Commits
sioners Of Custer County, Montana, sitt-
ing as Board OF Equalization, through
communication made by the State Board

be it,
Resolved. BY this Board, that in the

and May Be W atcheu.
Cataract is said to be due to the
gradual deposition OF oxalate OF lime
in the substance of the crystalline
lens, at first in small spots or streaks,
sometimes i'll one part and some
times in another The deposit grad
ually increases until 1t penetrates the
whole of the lens, causing blindness.
The remedy, then, Is to remove the
lens, and after Its removal the pa
tiept needs substitute i'll the form
of highly magnifying spectacles.
All that is necessary to enable
patient to see his own cataract for
himself is piece of card and nee

Pierce a clean round hole near the
middle of the card and hold the card
up to the light close to the eye, look

WISCONSIN enjoys the distinction of
being the first state west of the Allie
ghanies to take up the university ex-
tension work, and is now one of the
recognized leaders in the work in the
Northwest. Nearly ten years ago
Wisconsin had applied the essential
element of university extension in the
work which was then and is still being
done in the farmers Institutes that
are being held all over the state
each winter. These meetings take
the instructors of the College of
Agriculture out to the homes of the
people just as extension lectures
take the teachers of the other de-
partments out to those who cannot
come to the university.

ticket is less than that on governor by
1000 or 5000, and about the same
as two years ago. Two years ago
the vote for governor exceeded that
Tor the rest Of the ticket by nearly q
900. The total vote gradually de-

total Populist vote for governor. is
25, 613 against 10000 two years
ago. The total Prohibition vote is
1920, about 1000 less than two
