LET Us SECT

Let US see. Is there anything the
matter with Captain j. D. Young that
he should not be reelected Auditor and
Assessor? Captain Young is a nominee
Of the Republican party. Is there any
thing wrong with j. Frank Brown why
he should not be reelected City Attor-
nee
Is there anything to be said why
Treasurer Porter should not be re-
elected to his present office? Mr.. Por-
ter is a candidate on the Republican
ticket. Has any man single reason
to advance why tried, trusted and COM
petent c. c. Robertson, who has served
the city as a deputy official SO long and
efficiently. should not now be promoted
to a principalship as Collector? Mr..
Robertson is the republican nominee.
Who is there who will venture the as
sertion that Woodworking, skilled me-
chanic Melvin, Sacramento-raised,
clearheaded, of irreproachable char
acter, Independent, thoughtful, intelli-
gent, viii not make a good Trustee
Mr.. Melvin is a Republican nominee. SO
we may go down the list and ask why
Messrs. Bening, Lowell, Robin, Sher-
burn, Dolan, Baker, Dillman and Driver,
all tried men who have been prominent
in city life, are widely and well known,
VIII not serve the people wisely and
We'll? Yet all these men are nominees
OF the Republican party, and seven of
them are incumbents, or in public
service, and not a single word has
been said against them and the dis
charge of their trusts.
And, finally what is the matter with
the nominee for the head of the ticket?
j. ". Wilson, it is on all sides conceded,
is able That he is patriotic is not
questioned. That he has had much ex-
perience in public life is admitted That
ne has come out of the offices of Sheriff,
Supervisor and Fire Commissioner and
Agricultural Director with clean hands
no one dare deny. That he has al
ways been a partisan Sacramentan is
granted.
That he has always been to the front
for progress and improvement is noto-
rious: that he never flinched from the
discharge of duty or declined call to
work for the public without reward or
thanks, every man, woman and child
knows.
It is said, it's true, that he differed
with some of the members of the In
dustrial Improvement Association as to
what policy should be pursued by that
body relative to a 100000 investment;
but an overwhelming majority sus-
tanned him, and right on the heels of it
all the association elected him d.
rector of the organization and he has
the confidence and respect of every
member of it.
That he took sides on a question be-
fore the body proves that Wilson has
opinions and the courage to back them
Infinitely preferable is a man who has
convictions and fears not to announce
and do battle for them, to the weak
man who has never been convicted of
having an opinion, who has never been

The father of bituminized streets in
Sacramento is going to be the next
Mayor of the Capital City, and his name
is Wilson. When everybody else gave
up, and protest WAS more powerful than
petition. J. w. Wilson took the matter III
hand, and by his personal canvass, his
persuasive powers, and because of the
confidence the people have in him and
his judgment, be made the first bitumin-
lied business street in Sacramento a
reality.

red hose for my lady" Leave it, We vol
atile SONS Of France, to the Yankee ma
ton; 1t will settle on red with unanimity.
The attempt to fasten upon J. w. Will
son the stigma of wearing boss collar is
laughable. People who know Mr.. Will
son know that he is no mans tool, and
never was. But Wilson needs no de-
Tense; he is making none himself because
he is too busy in the aggressive just now.
and moreover he who defends puts HIM
self at disadvantage. 1.-The people
know me-" said Mr.. w. yesterday, land
am contented with that fact. If am
not. after all these years, able to bear q
few lies shot my way, then [ have not
| lived in Sacramento to good advantage"
Says the New York Times of October
25th, referring to failure to properly clean
the streets of that city: THE dirt and
refuse must be got out of the city some
how. The manner in which 1t is done
will make no noticeable difference in the
quantity, but it will make vast differ
ence in the cleanliness of the city and the
health and comfort Of the people," But
suppose New York was like Sacramento,
without any system Of STRENGTHENING at
all? Would not the Times have good
cause to roar louder?
Some of the champions of candidates
in opposition to the Republican nominee
for Mayor are talking with their hats
over their mouths, when they clipper
about "walk-overs." Their principals
should pray to be delivered from such
braggarts. Mr.. Wilson will win, but in
well-contested election, such as that APP
preaching, assuredly there will be no
walking over the course; and we are glad
OF it. A contest with four candidates
means a large vote, critical canvass OF
claims and merits, quickened interest
IL city affairs and no little beneficial
study of city economics. No, there will
be no walk lovers, and we are glad of it.
We cannot repress admiration for the
prompt, courageous and impartial manner
in which Milk Inspector Dockery of San
francisco is doing his duty in correcting
| a shameful abuse in the metropolis. We
need milk inspector here too. The
dairymen who are honest and clean
hand are In favor of SUCH an agent, and
those who oppose the establishment OF
such an investigation bureau simply
suggest that they are not selling pure
milk. but cheating the people.
The woman suffragists have our SYM
pathy. One black eye they have re-
ceived this week, and another is in store
for them. The Constitutional Conven-
ton of South Caaolina has by an over
whelming majority tabled the woman
suffrage proposition, and Massachusetts

! passed last spring, to the women Of the
old Bay State this question at the ballot

they behave themselves ''Shall woman

will vote no.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The Republican platform is the only
one that talks sense concerning municipal
progress and reform. Such other plat
forms as have been put out deal in gener-
alities or impossibilities, and mouth over
old-time and meaningless phrases. at
least one of them amounts TO a threat
against property interests. and another
calls for such cinch of the railroads of
the State that reduction of the wages of
labor must follow if the destructionist
scheme is realized.
France is all stirred up over the resig-
nation of the Ribot Ministry; she is agi-
tated greatly over the celebrations for the
victories in Madagascar and the extension
of French jurisdiction. But these things
are as nothing compared to the heaving
of the national heart and the aching of the
national head over the question whether

Those who make a study of politics
have now canvassed the chances in the

The story of the dispatches is that Eng
land is aeking cause for war with China
in order to check the move Russia is
making to secure Chinese allyship in the
struggle with Japan for the spells OF
Corea. This is not improbable Indeed.
it would be the shrewd thing for the Eng
lish to do. AS for pretext, there is no
need to search far or long; there is cause
enough and in plenty for trouble with
China. Her promise TO avenge the death
of the missionaries has not been kept !;
she has intrigued with Russia in viola
ton of her treaty with England /; she has
allowed British subjects to bs subjected
to insults by Viceroys and the Mandarins
after protests had been made by Eng
land that her people were not given due
protection in China. There are other
causes for a showing of teeth but for the
matter of that. England can easily pro-
woke conflict If she is so disposed, and
that she should be is not surprising.

son is elected he will give his whole time
to the duties the Charter imposes upon
the Mayor, and there is enough to do to
keep him busy every working hour, and
more. He will not have other irons in
the fire, nor neglect public duty to ad-
vance private interest. His party be-
lieves N work, activity and the output Of
human energy. 1t is what makes it a

The IItghest-Prfced Wine.

At a sale in 1858 of the effects of the
deceased Duchesse de Raguse. the late
Baron Rothschild paid its weight in
gold for forty-four bottles of Madeira.
This wine, it appears. was tished up
in 1914 from a ship wrecked at the
mouth of Scheldt in IT'S. where it had
lain during that interval. Louis XVIII,
bought it at that time. and part OF it
was presented to the French Consul.
and thus came into the hands of the
Due de Raguse. The weight of a bottle
of the wine, including the bottle, is
about , pounds avoirdupois. so that
at this calculation each bottle would
cost about $50. Prince Worouzoff. il
is said. sells his Tokay. 30 years old.
for $40 a bottle. In the famous cellars
of the Hotel de Vile. at Bremen, there
are Il dozen cases of holy wine which
have been preserved for 80 years.
This calculation has been made in re-
gard to it: If the cost of maintaining
the cellar. payment of rent. interest
upon the original value OF the wine.
and other Incidental charges are all
considered. a bottle of this choice Ii
quor has cost $1,000. 600. each glass
