harm apricots in this section, and that
he will have the largest crop he has
raised yet.
ADVERTISE.
Sebastopol Times: The man who ad-
vertises is the person who Is public
spirited, enterprising and shrewd. for he
knows that nothing pays better than a
good ad, and those who patronize such
men are the ones who contribute ma
terially to the support OF the community

THE DAY OF PREPARATION.
Stockton Record Has it ever oc-
Cured to the voter that it would be as
futile to try and stop the current of the
Amazon as to prevent triumph OF the
protective principles in American poll
tics ait the approaching election? The
people have not suffered four years in
vain. Their complaints have not been
overload, for they appreciate that their
misery was inflicted by their own fool
ish act. They listened to the deception
the conspiracy of deceit-that was
practiced by the Democracy and drilled
irto the public by the agents of the Cob
den Club; they listened to the doleful
wall of the Mugwump and accepted his
estimate of Cleveland. But the day of
reparation is approaching and nothing
can check it. The man who has toiled
in grim silence will cast his ballot with
a lightened heart.
CHANCE FOR ANNA.
Santa Ana Blade: The presence of
Miss Anna Shaw in the city at this time
cannot fail to help the cause in which
she is enlisted. If this, the brightest
speaker in the galaxy of bright women
working under the suffrage banner,
would turn her volatile wit and sar-
casm on the nuisance of high hats worn
by women she would win the everlast-
ing gratitude of the men. Tht legal
male mind" may not DC able to coincide
with her on suffrage. I.ut it may be set
down as a dead certainty that there is
not a legal male mind in all Santa
Ana that does not heartily condemn
sight-obscuring bonnets at any public
entertainment. Here is a practical field
for practial work for humanity Verify
the harvest is ripe, but the laborers are
few.
INSANE FIGHT.
Bakersfield Californian: The insane
fight now being waged in Los Angeles
County over the harbor appropriation
matter is another example of the folly
so often committed by Californians in
quarreling among themselves over any
public Improvement or benefit that is
suggested. Instead Of combining and
working for the common good. a fac
tional fight of the bitterest and most
acrimonious kind is being waged which
must result only in disaster to both
sides. 1t certainly would harm no one,
but be distinct benefit, to have harbor
Improvement carried on at both Santa
Monica and San Pedro. But insensate
opposition has developed against the
Santa Monica project. with the result
that neither place will probably get an
appropriation, beyond the small amount
for dredging at San Pedro necessary
to keep the channel from filing up. 1t
is a great pity hat Californians cannot
be a unit on all matters that make for
the public good.
GREEKS.
Oakland Enquirer: An esteemed San
Francisco contemporary, in writing
about the Olympic games, remarks edi-
torially: "The Greek intellect is as
bright as ever; wherever Greek mer-
chants settle they rise to the top of the
commercial tree Sir Boyle Roche him.
