Woodland Democrat
a few days ago we had occasion to men.
tlon the fact that the Sacramento repre-
sentative of q San Francisco newspaper,
winch takes great delight in roasting
members OF the Legislature on account o.
their extravaganza, accompanied g
Juhketlng committee on a trip to one OF
the many institutions receiving State aid

NO such Office is known to the law. II
involves no responsibilities or duties eX-
cepI TO lnQorse warrant in payment for
services That are not rendered. The only
excuse Tor It's existence is to enable some
legislator to make the State redeem some
political obligation that ought to be paid
Tor out OF his own pocket.
IL Is but falr to presume that the pro-
prletors OF San Francisco newspapers do
not always know of the questionable
methods practiced by their own repre-
sentatlVes TO Increase their earnings.
HOW absurd 1t all seems to men who
understand the real situation to read

agance and to know that they were writ

TEN ACRES ENOUGH.
lOroville Register
10 insure success in fruit growing
don't plant over ten acres. The man
who sets out big orchard always runs
In dept ere his trees come into bearing,
and then has hard struggle for years ere
his orchard is paid for. The man who
plants but i've or ten acres manages to
hold his own, and when his trees begin
bearing he can handle the fruit at a
smaller profit than the man who must
hire his help and pay interest. This To-
callty is being surrounded by many
small orchards, and We are thankful that
there are lew large ones. The small or
chafd VIII pay greater profit per acre
than big one. 1t Is usually better cared
Tor; tits better plowed and better pruned.
There IS manure enough for small or
cnard where the owner OF a large one
must buy chemical fertilizers. The
owners family can care for the fruit of q
little orchard, while the big place must
depend upon hired help. The little or
chard can be irrigated when the ground
needs 1t. IL can be looked after when the
fruit is just in prime condition, and there
is less waste and less loss than in the bio
orchard.
OH! HOW?

The need of good roads is apparent to
all. The question is, How can ws get
them?
COSTLY EXPERIENCE.
Oakland Tribune.l
Among the bills that have been signed
by the Governor and are now law is
one providing for the payment from the
stale treasury Of SlS3, co. to cover the
expenses OF the National Guard dSrjno
the railroad strike OF last sumner
That was a costly experience to the
State IN every respect. 1t made hard
times harder, and the passage of this
relief bill shows that we are stlll paying
the penalty. Nor does this end it. The
Federal courts are still occupied in the
trials OF the otfenses committed during
the stllke. and bid fair to be thus occu
pled ior long time to come.
NOT FOR HIS HEALTH,
LColusa SUM-
queer people are some people. A lot OF
men tor pure patriotism gotup a corpora
ton 20 build a competing line of railroad
from San francisco 10 Bakersfield. Thev
were going to put their money in il and
just build it. There was nothing said
about wanting the State to do ANYTHING
until ABOUT week before the time for
pay OF members of the Legislatul ex-
plred, and then bill was rushed through
on the double TO lease fifty acres in Mis-
sion Bay for hfty years at nominal rent,
The promoters demanded their bill with
out amendment, and the slogan was, "He
tnat does not co as we bid, let him be
anathema." Then they declare that thew
can't think of building a railroad unless
the bill passes. 1t is passing strange, if
this be true, that they did not go to the
legislature before. Why did they wait
for the end Of the session, always given TO
rushing schemes through? The bill
passed, Spreckels could build the road
and sell out to an Eastern road for a good
sum; sell the control OF the road in which
others have millions and sell the grant
from the State. Evidently the sugar
king Is not i'll IL for his health.
THEIR OPPORTUNITY
Stockton Independent.l
omen who believe they shouId have
tne privilege OF voting have now a wide
ueIu OF laoof before them. The whole
State has been thrown open to them 10
advocate their views before the peOnle
Their success will depend more on the
wisdom than on the zeal they display in
the field. They should now labor and
pray earnestly to be saved from some OF
the most active OF tneIr friends.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Los Angeles T1mes.1
The New York Legislature has passed
concurrent resolution, submitting to
the popular vote by constitutional amend :
ment the question of woman suffrage. If
woman suffrage is ever adopted in Cali
fornia, it will necessarily be by constitu-
tional amendment. The women who
have been wearing out their lungs and
wasting their gray matter in an attem pt
to get a woman suffrage bill through the
Legislature should have known whore
they were at before entering upon so
lrnltless, not to say foolish, an under
taking.
REQUIRES CONFIDENCE.

If it requires confidence on the part OF
ones self to make headway, the same
rule applies to community. 1t is abso-
