APPEAL TO THE COURTS.
They VIII Settle This Most Important
Question.
From the Stockton independently

From the Stockton independently
1t Is well that the dispute between the
Railroad Commissioners and the South
eru Pacific Company has been taken to
the courts for settlement. The questions
involved are not merely whether the
recent reduction of freight rates Is right
or wrong, equitable or negotiable. An
other and a deeper question is involved
and may be settled. That question is
whether men elected to even quasi
Judicial positions shall be controlled in
their actions and decisions by party plat
forms and ante-election pledges or by
law and equity; by facts and figures after
due investigation and elaboration or by
threats Of party vengeance. We're can
didate for Judge to pledge himself to
make certain decisions in case OF his cleo
uon the pledge would certainly dis
qualify him from sitting in cases in which
the questions involved were like those to
which he was pledged.
a judicial candidate who would mako
such a pledge would be scorned by all in
telligent voters, yet one OF the Railroad
Commissioners has said he was bound
by such a pledge, and another, after dis
claiming the pledge, suddenly abandons
his position of independence while a
party storm is gathering about his head
and, by complying with the party plat
form, calms the tempest. Taking the
case 10 the Federal Courts places the is
sues where they will be decided without
the warping influence of local interest or
party passion. 1t will result in close
definition of the powers and duties Of the
Railroad Commission, as well as the
rights of railroads, and though it will de-
lay the reduction Of freight rates the rail-
road company will not be wholly to
blame. Much, if not all of the blame,
will prove to belong to those Commits
sioners who made up their judgment in
political conventions, refused to proceed
in Judicial or business-lke manner to
accomplish the much desired object, and
dec idea arbitrarily to reduce rates with
out evidence to show that their action
was right or wrong.

soap. and when the ingredients are of
great purity the product goes by the
name of primrose" soap. Bar soaps so
made on large scale, are, as a rule. stock
from which the varied forms Of toilet soap
are made by processes intended to render
them more attractive for personal use,
but generally the consumer gets far bet
ter value for his money, and far less in
jury to his skin, by using good white
curd" or primrose" soap than by en-
ploying high-priced toilet soap, while
cheap toilet soaps. especially cheap trans
parent soaps, should be studiously
avoided.
The demand made by consumers for
cheap soaps, which in many cases are
sold retail at prices considerably below
the wholesale market price for true
soap, has given rise to the introduction
ofhighly watered soaps. caused to set hard
by the addition during manufacture OF
sodic sulphate. which enables the manu-
facturer to make so-called soap often
containing less than 20 per cent. of true
soap.-The Popular Science Monthly.

The idea OF publishing an illustrated
pamphlet was not favored by the Valley
Press League. II would be a profitable
piece of work for engraving houses, and
Tor the valley a very unimportant piece
OF advertising, for such pamphlets are
looked upon by Fasteners as containing
q lot Of unreliable advertisements. The
local newspaper was favored as the best
possib ole means of bringing locality be-
fore the world and we believe with many
others OF the league that 1t is the only
practical way. The man OF recognized
business bent does not look in advertis-
ing magazines TO post himself OF the pro-
ductIveness of any locality, nor for infor-
NATION as TO climate. lie desires TO see
the local paper, the contents OF which he
knows the editor must vouch for before
the readers as being true. He notes the
weather reports, the little item as to
yields, he scans the business advertise
ments, and by study OF the home pa
pers he learns from u reliable source
Nearly every publisher has almost daily
applications from the East for sample
copies OF the local paper. and the requests
are freely granted; but to issue several
hundred extras month for sending East
is asking more Of the country publisher
than he owes TO the community. Some
method might be adopted whereby the
local papers could be sent regularly to
Eastern people who are contemplating
moving 10 California. Every publisher
would gladly carry out such mission if
the actual extra cost could be met.

''If 1 were millionaire" began the
Idiot one Sunday morning. as he and his
friends took their accustomed seats at
the breakfast table, Il would devote a
tenth of my income to the poor, a tenth
to the children's fresh air funds, and
the balance to the education through
travel of a dear and intimate friend of
mine"
That would be a generous distribu-
ton of your wealth., said Mr.. White
ehoker graciousIy. but upon what would
you live pourself?"
Il should stipulate in the bargain with
my dear and intimate friend that we
should be inseparable; that wherever he
should go l should go, and that of the
funds devoted to his education through
travel, one half should be paid to me as
my commission for letting him into a
good thing"

Collecting rare books and a good bus

books once. but I gave it up and col
leeted coins. I chose my. coin and de-
voted my time in that variety alone, and
it has paid me-"
Il don't exactly gather your meaning"
said Mr.. whitechoker. You chose your
coin?"
Precisely. 1 said, Here! Most coin
collectors spend their time looking for one
or two rare coins, for which, when they
are found, they pay fabulous prices. The
result is oftentimes perjury. I, on the
other hand, will look for coins OF a com
mon sort which do not command fabu-
lous prices So / chose United States five

Homan1ac, setting back IN his chair in q
disguised, tired sort of way. He had ex-
pected some sympathy from the Idoit,
as a fellow-collector, even though their
aims were different. 1t is always difficult
for a man whose ten-thousand-dollar IL

the auction rooms to find, even in the

his woes and helps him bear the burden
thereof by expressions of confidence in
his sanity.

Since that day he has been a quiet man

the working season he goes to work reg-

oxen nor himself a noon meal. Doggett
is the owner of about seventy hounds
