[Truckee Republican.
The way to make community pros
porous is to patroniZe the men who are
trying to build 1t up, who spend their
money in the community and who al
ways have an encouraging word for the
various industries of the community.
If the thousands of dollars that are
unnecessarily sent out Of the various
towns in the county to help build up
other places were spent at home, we
would have more prosperous section.
SHOULD BE TAUGHT A LESSON.
Stockton independent.
San Francisco's Coroner is being be-
rated for the brutality Of two of his as
sistants. who removed the bodies of Miss
Kent aud Brown, who killed her and
himsek on Monday. The story is that
the girls body was flung into box with
as little respect for decency as II II were
that of hog. and the body of Brown
was thrown upon it with the feet in the
face of the girl. This makes people
ready to believe other stories OF indecency
by the Coroner's assistants at the morgue.
| These stories are that corpses are flung
about like the carcasses OF dogs at the
pound and all sorts of ribald Jokes are
INDUCED in concerning them. The Civic
Federation might do some good work by
sending man to the morgue occasionally
to watch the proceedings there. Mean
while some OF the hundred who saw the
brutal treatment of the body of Miss
Kent should make it their business to see
il the perpetrators cannot be taught
| lesson in decency through the medium Of
the courts.
OUR MONGOLIAN LABoRERs.
Chico Chronicle-Record.
About 700 Chinese in and about Chico
are now working daily, and at the end OF
every week draw down regular salary,
which, though not large for the indi-
vidual, is enormous in the aggregate.
| That this condition Is a disgrace to the
community there is no doubt, but how to
remedy it is question that has puzzled
! the best people OF the community tor
! years. Each summer Chinese are shipped
! into Chico from below, for the purpose of
caring for the fruit crops. They work for
two or three months and then depart for
other quarters with their purses we'll
filled with money that ought 10 have
| been left with white men who have fam
lilies to support. Where the money goes
| is easily explained. Nearly every cent
reaches China; even that expended for
| food.
The difficulty in endeavors to sup
! plant the Chinese by white labor is
| that white men as a rule have homes.
while the main part OF the work IN or
| chards lasts but a few months in the
year; and furthermore, many white Ia
bOrers are not willing TO work at wages
which allow the grower a chance for
profit
MORBID SENSATIONALISM.
Los Angeles Express
The scheme TO put on the stage drama
founded on the murders in the Emman-
uel Church, San Francisco, should be
Irowned down by the respectable clement
in the State the moment it materialzes.
1t is degradation and disgrace to the
drama that it should be lowered to the
level which it is proposed by the authors
and spectators who have the church
tragedy drama in hand to reduce.
The object OF the stage is, or at least
| should be, to educate and amuse. The
! picturing of two horrible murders
will DO neither. Il may entertain, but it
| will not amuse, and beyond question 1t
will not instruct. The effect of such a
play will be TO lower the public taste; to
weaken the natural horror of the young
especially for crime, and will familiariZe
/ the public with events of which they
already know too much.
STILL THEY COME.
LOroville Mercury.
Oroville has better advantages for sup
plying electric power than Sacramento,
and we earnestly advise our citizens 10
form an Industrial Improvement Asso-
citation and proceed TO harness the power
that flows by our doors in the Feather
River Don't sit still and wait until
every other locality in the State has util-
lied its water power, but take action
now and push the matter TO a successful
completion. Now is the time to grasp
the opportunity, and every effort should
be made to get a firm hold. The future
of Oroville depends entirely upon the
| efforts of the present Inhabitants. One of
! the secrets of the wonderful growth Of
Los Angeles snd Southern California is
the unity and liberality of the people and
/ their pride in ali that makes the place at
! tractive.
PROSPECTS FRIGHTENING.
Tuiare Registerl
| We have noticed that those who have
/ the heaviest burdens TO bear generally
! bear them with the most fortitude; that
! those who find life the hardest often live
the most cheerful lives and are most be-
| loved; that the 'croaker" is one who has
received more good at the hands OF Prov
!
/ but himself to blame for the hard bed he
sleeps on. The writer has recently rid
/ den some 1000 miles and has talked with
! men IN all stations OF life from all parts
/ OF the country, but he has heard more
! ''croakin in three days at home than
| he heard in the three weeks that he was
away from home, and yet nowhere that
! he has been are the conditions of life SO
easy as here in Tulare County.
GIVE THEM A CHANCE.
Fresno Expositorl
The RECoRD-U L MON reads lot of crank
! fault-finders a lesson in connection with
their criticisms on the Bureau OF High
ways for 'junketing" about the country
and regrets a very prevalent disposition
to assail every public official as @ rascal
every official trip a junket and every
/ official act u robbery.
IN the case of the Bureau of Highways
the law which created it requires the
! bureau to visit each county once a year
to learn the conditions and costs of road
making, with the purpose of giving eX-
pert advice TO local authorities in the
matter of making good roads. Let us
give this bureau chance and reserve our
criticisms until after its work can be
| tested.
There is no more important work the
State can do that to have the highways
built on the most improved plan of road
making. and in no county III the State is
the need greater than it is in Fresno.
W hen the Bureau Of Highways comes
here its members viii be treated with re-
spect and it is hoped that their advice
will be followed, for the road making of
Fresno County has been about the most
shittless imaginable. Thousands upon
thousands Of dollars have been spent In
grading up roads, TO be left and cut up
with wheels and blown away in dust
