lNapa Register.l
We looked in several times this week
while in Sacramento on the Legislature
1t appears to be an earnest and honest
body OF men, thoroughly imbued with a
desire TO carry out the peoples demands
III the matter OF executing greater econ
omy IN the management OF public affairs.
Under the cry of 'Retrenchment" some
foolish measures have been given en-
couragement but in the final sitting of
bills we expect to see these eliminated
and roundup of wise legislation.
Taken as a whole, we doubt if a cleaner,
more representative lot of legislators
ever convened beneath the dome of Cali
fornia's Capitol.
THAT HAT.
Los Angeles Heraldl
If it is desirable that the tall theater hat
should not obstruct the vision of the back
rows in Los Angeles theaters, all ordi-
nance Will effect the reform. 1t is not
necessary to pass a State law or even to
amend the Constitution. But then it may
not be deemed advisable-it is woman,
lovely woman, who wears the hat.
TRAMP, TRAMP.
LOrovil!e Mercury.l
Work, either voluntary or compulsory,
is a sure cure for the tramp evil. Honest
men out of work should everywhere be
tramping about the country should be
compelled to work. We are pleased to
learn that III number of counties the
work prescription Is being administered
i'll allOpathic doses TO the tramping broth
erhood with gratifying success.
GIT WAS WISE"
[Stockton independents
The Good Road Convention wisely
avoided the error of recommending that
the retaining of a road engineer in every
county should be compulsory. Their
recommendation that Supervisors be en-
powered to employ such engineers was
sufficient and disarmed opposition to
what threatened TO become an engineers
cinch. No matter how wise a body may
be or how lofty its object the political
teredo will W DIRK his way into it ii posi-
bic. The good road movement offers q
good field tor the barnacle and the teredo.
and those engaged in the work should be
mercil6ss to those who try to fasten them
selves upon the reform for their own sell
fish purposes.
"a QUEER LOT"
COluSa Sum-
A queer lot are the Hawaiians playing
government. The United States Govern
ment was taken severely TO task for not
having man-Ot-War there all the time TO
look out for American interests. When
with much satisfaction, which. accord
ing to the call correspondent, was turned
to bowling lament when the following
instruction was made known: IAN
American citizen who, during a revolu-
ton IN foreign country, participates in
any attempt by force of arms or violence
to maintain or overthrow the existing
Government cannot claim that the Gov
ernment OF the United States shall pro-
tect MIN against the consequences of such
act.'
LIQUOR LICENSES.
alameda Encinal.l
The bill now before the Legislature to
make liquor licenses uniform throughout
the State is meeting with determined OPP
position from all quarters.
ALL ACCOMPLISHED.
[San Jose Mercury
Cleveland's grand reforms have all been
accomplished. The dangerous Republic
can surplus has been reduced 10 nothing,
free trade tariff has been adopted and
the Ubiquitous Sherman law has been re-
pealed. The Democratic party has done
this at Cleveland's behest. Now what do
they think of it?
