! adopted in several counties in this
State. If the State, by a general tax,
| equips and maintains Normal Schools
| for the education and training Of those
desiring to enter the profession of
teaching. it IS not in the line of good
policy to refuse to recognize the in
stitutions in the conduct and manage
nent Of the public schools
! The argument IL advanced by var1-
Gus School Boards that the Normal
School graduate is not more competent
to teach than are others of like educa-
tional advantages, and therefore should
received no privileges not granted to
| the graduates of similar institutions OF
| learning.
| If the premises are correct, and the
writer is inclined to think they are not
without foundation, then the state
should rectffy the error and so change
the plan of work that the Norman
Schools will be such in fact as we'll as
| in name For if the work of the schools
| is not such as is acceptable 10 schooi
officers, the sooner the institutions are
abolished the better. But so long as
they are maintained at public expense,
and SO long as the graduates are not IN
ferior in educational equipment, the
guarantee of the State to the holders OF
| diplomas that their credentials enutle
them to grammar grade certlncaleS
should be fulfilled, and the right OF
| local board to nullify the spirit OF
State law is properly denied.
A GREAT RECORD.
Salinas Index: The Southern Pacific
!
and prompt transportation of the many
thousand Endeavor VISITORS 10 oah
Francisco the past week. 1t was an
unprecedented feat, as 1t was tie
largest movement of passengers IN SO
short a space of time on single track
| that the world has ever seem IL IS eSll-
mated that about S900,U0O Will De ieAI
in this State as a result or the enter
prise. besides inducing great NUMBER
to either remain here or come back. Inc
beneficial effects of such large NUM-
Der of visitors from the best class OF
people in the world cannot be overesu-
| mated.
NO COMPLAINT.
Fresno Republican: The Californian
who thinks of complaining or warm
weather should permit the words to Ole
in his mouth when he reads of the loss
of life due to heat in the Eastern cities.
We have hot weather here, but 1t does
not hear death in it's train. We hear OF
the mercury going to 40 degrees above
zero at times in various parts OF TINS
State but we look in vain, if we are un-
tutored enough to look at all for ac-
cunua nyins loss of life. There is moth
ing like the California climate. 1t has
no cold and no death dealing neat.
A COMBINE.
Fresno Expositor: The rumored EiX-
aminer"- -Budd- Mcguire complnatloii
would be a strong one, certainly, ana II
might be regarded as in the best IN
terests of the party by those constltut-
ing it. but we feel confident that II
would fail and end in defeat for the
party. If such a conspiracy has been
| formed or is in contemplation those
engaged in it should take warning and
abandon the movement.
SINGULAR.
Los Angeles Times: 1t is a little bit
singular that Mr. Bryan has not re-
marked the fact in any one of his way
worn speeches that wheat is worth
| 81 30, while bar silver stands at 6U
cents A few observations as to the
why of it would be interesting coming
from Mr. Bryan, who knows all there
is worth knowing about silver-in his
mind.
1T WILL BENEFIT FARMERS.
Marysville Democrat: Farmers de-
pend upon a protective tariff just as
surely as does the prosperity of every
other American producer. The remedy
for agricultural depression is an en-
largement of the market for agricul-
tural products. In order to secure a
larger market for agricultural products
we must make the home market larger
and increase the home demand. The
only way to do that is by building up
our manufactures, by increasing the
number of our industrial plants, by Civ
ing employment to all idle working
men, by creating such a demand for
labor through the opening up of new
industries, that the increased number
of consumers will afford a market for
all the farmers products This is the
best way to secure prosperity to the
farmers, and the enactment of a pro-
tective law will benefit no class of
workers more than it will benefit the
farmers.
