SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

A speaker in the Manufacturers Convention
said the water now going to waste could fur
n1sh power to operate all the railroad feeders
OF the San Joaquin Railroad This fact is ap-
parent but the men who have the means OF
Harvesting that power do not seem to grasp the
idea When they do and apply it to practice
California will be "gridironed" with railroads
as Illinois is and its population will be in
creased very rapidly. The truth cannot be too
often repeated until the capitalists see how it
can be made to increase their wealth.-Stock-
ton Independent
There is quite growing feeling among the
public that the average Grand Jury is good
deal of farce, and very expensive farce
at that Whenever by some unexpected and
fortuitous combination of unforeseen cir
cumstances Grand Jury finds something
definite against wrong-doer who has any in
fuence or pull some means are found to declare
the Grand Jury illegally constituted and the
expense and labor have all been in vain.-
Bakersfield Californian.
Southern California fruit-growers should lose
no opportunity to advertise their products, not
only throughout the United States, but in Eu-
rope. There is practically no limit to the mar
ket for dried and canned fruits, and they
should be pushed in the markets OF the world
for all they are worth. Every community
should have its drier and cannery, for every
pound Of fruit saved and marketed means an
addition to the wealth of the State.-Los An
geles Herald.
The proper way to settle the'money question
is to stamp silver and gold as to weight and
fneness and let their values settle themselves
from day to day. By doing this the money
question would be removed out OF politics and
an army ofdemagogues and beneficiaries would
be out of jobs which give them something for
doing nothing.-Pendleton Oregonlan.
Although the University OF California is
ahead $3.50 on football tournaments, 1t should
not be lost to mind that there are several
necessary members of the anatomies OF the
players absent These may be called dead
loss.-Los Angeles Express.
A State contemporary offers the services OF a
lawy er free to every rancher VINO desires to
staye off foreclosure proceedings until he gets
his crop harvested. This beats all chrome
schemes and premium lists.-Seattle Times.
Times are so hard in the Eastern cities that
men are reported to be cutting their mustaches
off SO that they can smoke their cigars shorter.

The Illinois Legislature proposes to put
an end to boodling by a law declaring void
any ordinance, franchise or privilege, the
passage of which is secured by bribery in
any form. The idea is that no one will be
willing to pay anything for a franchise
when such payment would render it void.
1t is hardly likely, however, that the law
would have much effect, for it is very diff
cult to prove bribery, and the boodlers
know it. The only way to get an honest
government is to elect honest men.

elevated board walk, under which the
ball had rolled.

when the ball disappeared under the
boards, Norma, anxious to reclaim II,
pushed her head into this narrow
