circulated asking Congress to amend
the immigration laws to still further
restrict immigration. This movement
finds support from three of the leaders
of the strongest labor unions in this
country; aside from this it is receiving
the united support of the different
patriotic orders. There can be no ques-
ton that the time has arrived when
tEeorizing should be relegated to the
past. and all native and foreign-b born
citizens unite and insist that our
country be protected from invasion Of
foreign hordes who come here to COM
pete with labor.
BOYS AND GIRLS IN ORCHARDS.
Chico Chronicle Record: There are
some people, even about Chico, who
complain that the boys and girls of
from II to 16 years of age must go
into the orchards and work during the
fruit season in order to make a living.
How much better it is that they can
have this opportunity and have their
minds occupied in light work than to
be roaming the streets and leading a
life of idleness. Small orchards, we
claim, will be the salvation of many a
young man or woman. The greatest
cause of downfall to the boys and girls
of this country is idleness, not over
work, and if employment can be pro-
vided for them when they are not at
tending school, many a boy and girl
will be saved from a degraded life, who
would otherwise have been better off
had they never been born. Save the
boys and girls and let 'Hongkong" care
for her own.
KOVALEV.
Stockton Independent: Kovalev's
case emphasizes the folly Of the delu-
sion that the United States is or should
be a refuge for the oppressed of all
lands, for, however much Americans
may Sympathize with the oppressed,
they must recognize the truth that OPP
preston is not proper school in which
to educate men for American citizens.
Kovalev is not, of course, to be regarded
as rule by which to judge all who flee
from oppression, but he is not merely
possible product of despOtism, but only
4 highly marked example of class
against whom this Government must
guard itself. Between Kovalev to the
bomb throwing anarchist the chief diff
ference is that the latter operates on a
depraved principle Of philanthropy,
while Kovalev acted on purely selfish
principles, yet is no worse than those
anarchists who imagine themselves to
be laboring in the interest of all man
k nd.
STOP LOADING UP.
Tulare Register: The San Jacinto
Register wants the puplic schools con-
nected with training schools for cook
cry and the proper care OF young in
fants so that school girls, when they
become mothers, may not kill their lit
tie darlings by stuffing them with the
wrong thing. The fact is people ought
not to have babies anyway until they
are 80 years old. and have, by expert
ence, acquired qualities which they are
not ashamed to transmit-if acquired
qualities can be transmitted at all,
which is doubtful. But let us not pile
any more onto the public schools.
Rather let US tighten the load of in
siruction heaped upon them that there
may be more thoroughness in the COM
men branches. Whatsoever is more
than foundation branches should be
left to the beneficent enterprise of
wealthy individuals. Make the want
felt and it will be filled.
FALSE IMPRESSION
Tulare Register: 1t is the constant
marvel of many people that so few
Eastern people of moderate means come
to California to live. People who have
property are now days pretty generally
staying where their property is, and
then, in spite of all the winds that blow,
Eastern people do not know much about
California. We have excursions here at
home, dinners of home products which
we ourselves eat, but when it comes to
telling the East what manner of country
we have we are negligent. The i'm
preston is that California is a rich
mans country, and that prices are too
high for men of moderate means to in,
vest here And the same is largely
true, too. An equilibrium between
Eastern and California prices is in pro-
cess of being established, and so Cali
fornia s prices are being scaled down.
When this task is finished, and Eastern
people find it out, they viii come to
California fast enough. Meantime,
what shall we do to put our affairs in
such shape that we can make dollar?

would be a dreary place if the boys
were not allowed to laugh and play

il seems to us that those who have
grown old enough to take university

little propriety with their desire for
amusement.
AHEAD AS USUAL.
Placer Herald: We, of Northern
California, are at least six weeks
earlier than our southern brethren
when it comes to the marketing of
citrus fruits. George D. Kellogg of
Newcastle has for a week past been
shipping oranges to San Francisco
from the groves of the Auburn Orange
Ranch. Fruit is also being shipped
from the great Whitney fruit ranch.
