VOICE OF THE PRESS.
Extracts From Editorial Expression Of
Journals
OF the State and the Coast on Sub
iects of Living and News
Interest.

Merced Sun: a number of the men,
bsrs of one of the prominent churches
of Los Angeles have raised big muss
over the fact that two colored children
were allowed to attend Sunday-school.
They have threatened to resign If the
duskv Youngsters are not shut out and
prevented from associating with their
own children even to such small ex-
tent All of which goes 10 show that
a very peculiar quality of Christianity
has developed in part of the congre-
cation of that church.
wHEELMEN AND SUNDAY
Los Angeles Herald: There seems no
valid reason why wheelmen should not
have their sport on Sunday afternoon,
as we'll as the baseball and gun clubs.
1t is unfortunate that in order to secure
this privilege many California wheel
men have had to break with the L. A.
w, but the California Associated Cy-
cling Club is a home industry, and de-
serves encouragement.
GRAIN FARMING.
Bakersfield Echo: The growth in
grain farming in this county during the
last few years is a most gratifying Cir
cumstance, for that is a valuable
branch of farming. The very potent
fact must not be overlooked, however
that we are favored with a very meagel
rainfall and the business at best Is
quite precarious. The opinion comes

Populist, but a Republican, not at
all. It is better to spend fifty million
dollars any day than to have Uncle
Sam fail of being master of the Pacific
and the power that controls the Ha-
waiian Islands will be master of the
Pacific.
OF RENT.
Fresno Expositor: Men talk of the
burden of interest but heavy as it is
it is no circumstances to the burden of
rent. Why should water and air be
free-a common and inalienable heri-
tage-and land be permitted to be
monopolized? Land is as essential to
mans existence as air and water and
comes from the common creator. Can
that system be right which will permit
a man to monopolize thousands of acres
and hold them untitled while countless
thousands are starving for want of
bread?
ANONYMITY.
Alameda Argus: There is not much
to be said in favor of anonymous letters
or posters abusing people, yet the trait
of wanting to SANDER somebody from
ambush is very general. The editor of
a newspaper encounters it on nearly
every turn. Nothing is more common
in every newspaper office than the re-
ceipt of communications grossly abus-
ing or denouncing men, and with the
authors name omitted, or if attached, a
private note carrying instructions to
omit by all means the same when put
in type. This desire or Willingness
to fire from cover, to the injury, often,
of peoples regulations, we could never
understand. 1t seems to us that a man,
when he has any charge to make or
anything of a criticising character to
say of another, should come out into
the open We believe in striking
straight from the shoulder. and we
have made it rule that all who speak
in a critical way through these columns
must do so over their own names.
