THE PRICE OF MILK.

The dairymen of Marin County, having
learned that the dealers in this City to
whom they furnish milk have raised the
price of the article to consumers have organ
lied for self-protection and decided to raise
the price to dealers They have discovered
that the dealers have raised the price from
is cents to 20 cents gallon, while still
paving the original price of 10 cents to the
dairvmen.
This is an interesting result of Milk
Inspector Dockery's discovery that adul-
terated milk was being largely sold in San
Francisco. The position of the Marin
County dairymen is peculiar. AS rule
they sell to dealers, who supply the mar
ket. 1t must be assumed that a dealer
who buys from a dairyman makes sure of
getting pure milk. What manipulation
the milk undergoes after it leaves the
dairyman's hands is another matter. At
the same time the dairymen on this side
OF the bay generally do business directly
with consumers, although numerous deal
ers appear between some of them and con-
sumers. The attitude of the Marin dairy
men means that they sell pure milk, that
it is adulterated by the dealers, and that
the dairymen on this side OF the bay VIII o
deal directly with consumers are thrown
into competition with dishonest dealers
and exposed to atemptation to follow their
| practices.
As the dealers have advanced their prices
about II per cent that may be taken as an
average of the adulteraton which they
have been practicing. 1t is clear, there
fore, that as they have now to sell pure
milk as they receive it from the dairymen
they are making no more profit out OF
their increased prices than they were max
| ing before. The determination of the
| Marin dairymen to raise prices to dealers
will therefore have the effect of creating a
| stronger inducement than ever, if not an
absolute necessity, on the part of dealers
to continue their adulterating practices.
1t would seem to be wiser for the dairy
men to form a combination for taking the
| places of the dealers and supplying the
| consumers from one central establishment
| This would tend to the creation OF a
| monopoly, but Inspector Doekery's work
has already produced that tendency in
more firmly consolidating the interests oil
Inilkmen in general. At the same time il
| is operating to produce friction between
| the dairymen and dealers.
| The whole situation requires careful and
| intelligent treatment and strict munich
pal oversight. Both dealers and dairymen
! should be brought to understand that hon
| esty is the best policy and that nothing
| will be gained in the long run by defraud-
| ing each other or the public in the quality
! or the price OF milk.

An Old Dog Tray.
Ukiah Press.


The Press in its last issue asserts that the Dis
patch has been retained to defend George E.White.
This statement is par with many other villain
Gus falsehoods manufactured by the editor of our
contemporary in connection with the Round Valley
troubles-D Dispatch.
A man is certainly judged by the company
he keeps. AS matter OF fact not single
material statement regarding Round Valley,
as published in the Press, has been denied.
On the contrary, even the signers OF the Dis
patch resolutions do not deny the correctness
OF the position assumed by this journal. They
may attack its policy, but not its facts.
We have sought to secure all the facts
concerning the Littleield murder, and these
facts as published by the Press, were amply
substantlated by the stenographlc report OF the
inquest as printed in THE CALL The facts
once obtained it was easy TO reason from effect
to cause, and logical deduction from the
premises established led irreslstibly TO the
conclusion reached by this journal. Aside
from this, Intellectual attempts were made by
the editor of the Press to secure re-
port of the tragedy from among the very
parties who signed the resolutions. Stamps
and paper were enclosed 10 three gentlemen in

their version of the affair to the Press. They

C0NTAMINABLE WATER.

1t is not likely that the agitation over
the quality of water furnished to San Fran
cisco will cease until there has come a
radical change in the character of the
spurce from which the supply is drawn.
When the agitation was begun several
months ago samples of the water were SUBJ
nhitted to a skiIlful bacteriologist, who is
the same one now engaged in analyzing
the milk furnished to City consumers, and
he announced in effect that, while the
water carried dense amount of organic
matter and swarmed with bacteria, none
OF these were pathogenic-in other words,
they were not productive of disease. The
engineer of the company declares that Pro.
fdssor Hilgard has made similar report
1t did not need the assurance of scien-
fist to inform us that the water was free
from malevolent bacteria. for had these
been present the City would have been

POINTS FOR ADVERTISERS,

The man who says he doesn't believe in adj
vertising and refuses TO use the newspapers for
that purpose generally advertses in some way
or other. Hotel registers, theater programmes
and such things are likely to have his al in
them. Then he charges what he pays for space
in them to adver Using instead OF to charity or
to profit and loss, and goes on swearing that
advertising doesn't pay.-Brains.
The wIde-awake, progressive and live bust
ness man must admit that g. three-inch
advertisement in a good trade paper has
more value than barrels of so-called circu-
lars. In fact hundreds of successful bust
ness men will conceda that this is the only
key to success. 1t is true catalogue well
written and prin ted is a necessity, and in many
cases is as i'm portant a factor in trade as are
the goods themselves, but the catalogue must
be supplemented by advertising in trade
papers, so that it may secure profitable dis
tribution. Experience has demonstrated that
the sending through the mail of any printed
matter unasked for, unless it be something
unique and of unusual merit, has seldom
brought in adequate returns. The waste-paper
basket could tell its story III this connection,
story which should prove a formidable warn
ing to those who depend solely upon that
means of building up trade..-Music Trade

Merchants should advertise for the good they
can derive from it, not as philanthropists, not
as donation to the newspsper.-Printers' ink.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
FIFTH IN THE UNITED STATES.

To the Editor Of the San Francisco CalI-SIR:
l find the following in the ''Notes and Que
r1es" column of the Pittsburg Despatch: 1.-The
banner county OF the United States, so far as
the value of its agricultural products is con-
cerned, is Lancaster County, this State. The
farms OF that famed county of Southeastern
Pennsylvania, according to a recent authentic
statement, yielded in one year farm produce
to the amount of 5000, 900. St. Lawrence
county, \. Y, comes next with total OF
$4,000 900, though the comparison is hardly a
lair one, inasmush as st. Lawrence is three
times as large i'll area as Lancaster. Third on
the list stands Chester, also a Pennsylvania
county, with yield last year of $5, 800, 900 in
agricultural products. Then comes Worcester
County, Mass, with So, 500 900; Bucks County,
Pa, $5,400000, and Colusa County, CAL,
50 800 O0O.''
The census of 1880 credits Colusa County
with two per cent OF the wheat of the United
States; that is, that it would take the product
of all the other States and Territories to bring
in the production of wheat. ColuSa County
occupies the center of the great Sacramento
Valley, and its soil is unequaled in productive
ness, but 1t was settled by stockmen and for
two or three decades enjoyed the distinction
of being the richest county in the United
tie 1t fell into wheat and still holds place in
National figures. Add to this the fact that
Colusa's oranges, on an analysis, took the pre-
MUM, and also took it on grape fruit, and
that her raisins have brought the highest
prices, and we have good showing for what
nature has done for Colusa. But Colusa needs
observation-disclosures the attention of capital
lists. There is no place in the State better situ-
ated Tor sugar factory, but the people do not
seem TO know how to reach out after one. Is it
really advantageous to be so highly favored by
nature? w. s. GREEN.

germs determinable by scientists. for the
health report will always be the best evil
dence on that point. The real question,
apart from the health effect of the water
on grounds related to the comparatively
few disease germs which are known to
science, is the liability of the water to con-
tamination by such germs when they APP
pear in this vicinity, and this does not
consider the pleasant or unpleasant char
acter of the supply.
The engineer of the water company an
nounces that the offensive taste which
now belongs to the water can be cured by
aeration, and that to accomplish this he
Will place aerating apparatus in the outlet
OF one of the reservoirs. This reads like a
pleasant sort of humor. Aeraton, it is
true, will hasten oxidation and breaking
up OF the organic substances which are In
process of decomposition, and which for
that reason are offensive to taste and
smell, but it will in nowise affect the main
questionable exposure of the water to
bacterial contamination.
The investigations of the Board of Health
have disclosed the fact that consumption
is prevalent among cattle. Some of these
cattle roam the watersheds of the City
supply. There is even dispute among
able scientists as to the identity of the con-
sumption germ. Any microscopic exam
ination for bacteria can have little value
under any circumstances. Common
sense and ordinary experience are better.
These prove that water gathered under the
system in vogue here cannot be expected
to be pure or wholesome, and is conspicu-
ously exposed to infectious germs. That
San Francisco has not suffered pestilence
produced by its water may be regarded as
one of those miracles which the climate
works; but those who repose faith in the
consistency of miracles do not belong to
this world

The Unwritten Law Against a Presi-
Dental Third Term.

Professor John Bach McMaster in the November
Forum.
No task is now quite so hopeless as that OF re-
electing President to third term. For much
of this. precedent is alone responsible. Had
our first President been willing to accept a
third term-and the people would gladly have
given 1.-THE would in all likelihood have been
followed by long line OF Presidents each serv-
ing for twelve instead OF eight years. But he
was weary of office and gladly laid it down.
His motive for this act is so often forgotten
that it is well to quote from his Farewell Ad-
Dress:
"The acceptance and continuance hitherto
in office, to which your SURFACES have twice
called me, have been uniform sacrifice of in
clination to the opinion of duty and to a
Difference to what appeared to be your
wishes. 1 rejoice that the state of
your concerns, external as well as internal, no
longer renders the pursuit of inclination in
compatible with the pursuit of duty or pro-
pretty"
No scruples about a third term troubled him
in the least. He went back to private life
solely because he was tired OF the Presidency
and because the state of the country did not
demand further sacrifice OF his comfort.
Yet this act set an example which Tor many
years WAS followed implicitly by his sue
cessors, though it was long before the people
saw anything wrong in the suggestion OF a
third term. Mr.. Jefferson was the first to
point this out. In stating his reasons for de-
Ginning third term he said:
'tThat 1 should lay down my charge at a
proper period is as much duty as to have
borne it faithfully. If some termination to
the services of the chief magistrate be not
| fixed by the constitution, or supplied by prac-
| tice, his office. nominally for years, will, in
! fact, become for life; and history shows how
| easily that degenerates into an inheritance.
| Believing that representative government
responsible at short periods OF election is that
| which produces the greatest sum of happiness
| to mankind, feel it a duty to do no act which
| shall essentially impair that principle; and l
should unwillingy be the first person who,
! disregarding the sound precedent set by an
illustrious predecessor, should furnish the first
example OF prolongation beyond the second
| term OF Office"
That his virtues had any influence on his
| successors is exceedingly doubtful, but his
| bold assertion that two terms were all that il
was safe to give any President had deep and
| lasting influence on the people, and did far
| more than the example of Washington to
establish the unwritten law which for more
| than sixty years none of his successors were
hardy enough to defy.

that Republican leaders like Quay, Plat,

no stampedes to an emergency candidate then
there ought to be. We have had enough of
