THEIR POINT OF VIEW

The Populist sheriff of Alameda county
is in Sacramento lobbying against re-
duction of his salary. Before he was
elected he thought the salary of the office
too much by twenty five per cent but now
that he is in he has developed all the
traits of ''plutocrat' and wants every
thing in sight.-Visalia Times.
fAnd there's a whole lot more Of city off,
cials who were elected on reform and
reduced salary" platforms who are belly
aching just as hard as Alameda's sheriff
for salaries about twice as large as would
be paid in any business house for the
same kind Of services. Bakersfield Cali

sFNow that Ex-Queen Lii will receive her
sentence in the form of foater, we
would suggest that she come over to Amer
lea and put dramatic troupe on the

While San Diego is vainly trying to
agree upon some system of water supply.

The Modesto Herald says an irreverent
Woodland man is willing to wager that
the women would not exercise the
right of suffrage in California If granted
the privilege. His conclusions are based
on that section of the election law which
provides that in the booth the legs OF the

willing to allow her to support him, is
either a rascal or is deficient in brains,
yet our American girls are picked up
every month in the year by men OF title
who could not earn $1,000 or q fifth Of it to
save their lives. The very fact that a man
is willing to accept his support from a

and certainly is humiliating to the true
man, yet these titled roues are so hard
ened that they take it as q matter OF
course.-Pasadena News.
The incompatible cheek Of those South
ern Californians is really getting worse
and worse. There isn't a good thing on
the face of this earth to which they do not

Joy because a carload of olives has been
shipped East from that section If the
country, is hollering: Our olives, too,
