A MARES NEST.
Bakersfield Californian: A number
of fool papers are making great hula
balloo over the alleged fact that some
one is hauling a lot of supplies from
Fresno to Stockton, en- route to Alaska,
sit being cheaper by 81 a ton to use
mule teams than to ship by rail-" The
plain truth is that Frank Dusey and
his party are taking number of mules
to Alaska from Fresno, and in order ITO
make them earn their expenses for part
of the trip they are driving them over
land and making them haul a very
small part of the outfit of the party.
The alleged saving of 81 a ton Ghere
are but twelve tons all told) cuts no fig
ure whatever.
THE FRESNO EXCITEMENT.
Stockton Independent: Should Evan
gelist Johnson bring suit against those
Fresno people who scared him int
silence or out of town, as he threatens
to do, either the official board of the
church where he preached or the news
papers will be placed in an awkward
expressed his belief in the slanderous
anonymous assertion about the girls,
and attributed the moral degradation
to the influence of the schools. The
official board says johnson SO qualified
the assertion as ITO imply his disbel1ef
in it, and, as he uttered no word against
the schools in his sermons, they discredit
what the reporters say of him on that
1,,~ ,<.l, ,0f fIa hn nf
the official board is awkward, even on
their own showing. They place john
son in the position of repeating a scan
dalous statement that he did not be-
lieve; say he made a grave mistake in
making it; that they branded it as
false before the general public were
aware that it had been made, and yet
they believe the imprudent mans de-
malls in preference to the assertions OF
the reporters concerning the schools
What commentary this is on the
double capacity of the members of that
board to believe and disbelieve, accord
ing to their preferences. The Fresno
people are arraigned by the official
board of the church for their indignant
action, but the evangelistic plunger is
treated with great tenderness by the
should welcome the threatened suits
because they will result in justifying
their action or that of Johnson, and
they owe to themselves to have the
truth well proved.
IT IS COMING.
Santa Rosa Republican: The time Is
coming when there will be smooth
bicycle path on each side of every COM
plete public highway in this country.
The law will provide for the construc-
tion of such paths, and they Will belong
to the wheelnen as much as the side
walk belongs to pedestrians. Future
streets should be laid out of a width
sufficient to admit OF Such pain.
Mheelmen themselves should be willing
to have imposed upon each wheel an
annual tax of from 81 to 81 for the
purpose of constructing and maintain
ing these paths.
CAST OFF THE PLANK.
Placerville Nugget: To quote Con-
gressman Johnson, Cast off the gang
plank at Castle Garden" There's but
one way to control this undesirable i'm
migration. That is to stop it altogether.
The capitalist will continue to do as he
blooming pleases about it. He'll hlre
or fire whomsoever he likes. There $
only one way in the world to get at him
and that is to cut off his supply and
this Congress ought to do right quick.
No one doubts the benefits of the pro-
tective tariff, but that measure is foiled
in it's very purpose by the influx OF
alien pauper labor. There should be nc
half way protection to American indus
tries about the Republican party. Cast
off the gang plank at Castle Garedn,
and. the Nugget adds at San Fran
cisco, too, to keep out the Japs. Let us
try America for Americans" for a
couple of decades and see how we come
out.
