VOICE OF THE PRESS
Expressions From Newspapers of In
terror California.
Oroville Mercury: Those who insist
upon calling the marriage of Miss Van
derbilt to the Duke of Marlborough
| 'sacrilege" are away off in their Virtu-
Gus Indignation. If they were to have
their own way they would not allow a
poor Duke TO marry rich girl but
| would originate a love match between
a rich girl and her fathers coachman.
A RAFT
Tulare Times: In the demo-pop fu-
sion for revenue only which took place
| in Kansas during the recent election
quite a number of good offices fell to
the Democratic part of the partnership,
and all the Populists saved out of the
| combination was their Omaha platform
There are still some planks in that old
platform which the Populists propose
to preserve until something better has
been obtained. These planks will
probably serve for a sort of raft to get
ashore on.
WHEN TO ADVERTISE.
Santa Ana Blade: The question is
briefly answered: All the time. In dull
times the temptation is to economize in
advertising, to skip" day, or a week
| and to argue ones self into belief
| that nothing is lost thereby and money
| IS saved, says the keystone. 1t isn't
the way to build up an enduring trade
A business requires to be fed as regu-
larry as the man who runs it. The man
who eats on Monday Wednesday ana
Friday, and "skips'' Tuesday Thurs
day and Saturday, is bound to get thin
and run down." and his business
will experience the same decline If
similarly starved. It is asking too
much of an advertisement that it pay
for itself Immediately by the profits of
an increased business. The fact is,
very few people act on the impulse.
| Humanity moves deliberately and
declines to be hurried. A man needs
to have his attention called to his wants.
| again and again before that want is
recognized in his own perceptions.
OF NO CONSEQUENCE.
Napa Register Durrant has had
his day in court. 1t was a long one
and more trying to the patient populace
| than to the prisoner. What the felOn
now says or thinks is matter of little
| moment to people who CLEAN the daily
papers for news.
MILK INSPECTION.
San Jose Mercury: The proprietor Of
! =
good business sense byindorsing the Off
| cial acts of Inspector Spencer and by
| expressing a determination to sell only
pure milk himself and to support the
! Inspector in the latter's crusade against
unscrupulous dealers. Since the public
| has been informed Of the character of
much of the stuff that dealers have
been disposing of as milk, it has natur-
ally become suspicious, and those who
are really honest and supply only the
pure article will find it profitable 20
guarantee their present patrons and the
public in general against imposition so
far as they themselves are concerned
This will increase their business and at
the same time tend to bring about the
reformation of dealers whose wares
Will not bear inspection.
NEWSPAPERS IN SCHOOLS.
Oakland Times: A movement is set
ting in in England to introduce as part
of children's education reading daily
newspapers. Not those of a sensational
character but such as are recognized
to be free from everything that could
net be discussed in family circles, while
| the matter contained is written in a
way to afford pleasure and instruc-
| ton. The first institution of learning
, to introduce this innovation on old lines
| is Rugby, one of England'S greatest
public schools. It is believed that by it
a twOfOid educational advantage is
| gained in training the mind to apply
the lessons of the past to the exigencies
| of the moment. Added interest is given
to the men and deeds of other genera
tons, while a healthy interest is fos-
tered in the great movements of our
own day.
IMMIGRATION QUESTION.
Oakland Times: The impression
hot +oI-
this winter on immigration into the
United States. That it is timely is ad-
mitted on all sides, but how far Con-
eress should go is as yet a debatable
proposition While there is a very large
ana steadily growing following ia
! V3rable to the suspension for q term Of
! years of the privileges now enjoyed
by foreigners of all countries, except
China, TO immigrate to this country,
there are others that favor more strin-
sent laws than are now in force. But so
| far as can be ascertained through the
press and expression of about every or
ganiZation Of the different GLASSES of
citizens. there is only one opinion, and
that is that the evil should be abated in
some way.
The time has gone by when this coun-
Try requires population from the sur
plus of other nations to develop it's la
tent resources and promote its manu-
featuring industries. This opinion
seems to be based on good substantial
grounds. With a population of fully
| seventy millions the natural increase is
sufficient of itself to supply the de-
mands for help for all times to come.
THE SEASON SO FAR.
Santa Rosa Democrat: The rain of
the past week has left the ground in
fine condition for fall work upon the
farms, and it has already begun. There
is quite a demand for small farms, and
the prices which now prevail. So
nOma County never had a better out
icok, and it is largely due to the subdi-
vision of large tracts of land, which it
Is no longer profitable to hold for Specu-
lation. Our climate is all that could be
desired our market facilities are first
rate, and the variety of crops which can
be successfully grown here is not
eGUaled in any county in this State.
Improvement and progress is reported
from all parts of the county. Harrison
Barnes of Healdsburg tells us that that
place and the surrounding country is in
excellent condition and is undergoing
a very healthy Improvement Super
visor JoOst reports good times in and
around Guerneville, and altogether the
outlook for the future is as good as
could be asked
THE CHANGE OF PRODUCTS.
Chico Chronicle Record: The most
serious question which confronts the
farmer who desires to change his sys-
tenn of farming is, what shall L pro-
duce?' 1t is a well-established fact
that the lands about Chico will produce
Imost every variety of fruit. Peaches,
apricots, cherries, prunes, olives, pears,
apples, grapes, plums and almonds all
thrive here and when properly handled
and marketed pay big money. There is
