SHEEP-OwNERS.
Los Angeles Times: With wool at six
cents per pound in the Umatilla Valley
of Oregon, we do not very we'll see how
any sheep breeder can vote for Bryan
unless he (the sheep-owner) is a candi-

Legislature or for some county office

APPEALING. TO CLASS.
Alameda Telegram: Bryan admits the
failure of his arguments for free silver
and giveS notice that henceforth he viii,

form. He will appeal to the poor to ar
ray themselves against the rich, and
will work on the passions and preju-

Presidency has ever succeeded on tha
plane: in fast. no other has ever de-
scended to that depth Of political and

SHALL WE ASK LEAVE?
Modesto News: England, in obedience
to the behests of the money power, de-
monetized silver in 1916, but this action
on her part did not disturb the relations
subsiSting between the two metals III

tumble, proving conclusively that the
United States can exert a greater In

world than England, with all hel
boards of gold for following III qulcf
succession, Germany, France. Italy
Belgium, Switzerland and Greece also
demonetized silver
A MATTER OF HEALTH.
Los Angeles Express: The California
Dairy Association has been holding
| session in San Francisco. Resolutions
were passed advocating the enactment
of such laws as will hedge about and re-
strict the manufacture and sale of adul'
terated dairy products. Laws of thi:
kind have the sanitary well-being of the
State at heart. The adulteration of nt
| other kind of food product is so balefu
! TO communities as that Of dairy prod

Pasadena Star: Silver has been on'

quantities would inevitably do.
