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

Los Angeles Times: Our friends, the
BARRIERS, are going to the Legislature at
Sacramento to get a bill passed creating
a BARRIERS college, similar to a college
of dentistry or medicine. The principle
is by no means new for the statutes or
the German Empire require two years
study at college before a man can be
allowed TO hang out a BARRIERS pole and
square himself away to remove. other
mems hirsute appendages.
The first section of the bill is almost
1udicrous TO the average citizen, who
knows that the American barber does
nothing but shave and hair cut, while in
foreign lands he is the man who ad-
ministers leechess and does cupping for
pleurisy and like diseases. The ball says
that there shall be a Board of Examin-
ers Consisting of five competent bar
bers) to carry out the purposes and en-
force the provisions Of this Act" En-
force" is good.
''DRIVEL."
Alameda Encinal: The female re-
porters of the big San Francisco papers
We're turned loose on murderer Butler,
and ground out columns Of the dreariest
drivel that ever found its way into print
Like the phrenologists who have been
discoursing learnedly about his criminal
characteristics, they are able to find
murderer written all over him, from
the tips of his fingers to the soles of
his feet Knowing the crimes Of which
he stands accused, it is mere child's play
to build up a bad character for him, as
who could not.
STATE ROADS BILL
Santa Rosa Democrat: The bill for
building State roads is one that should
pass. Under the present condition not
a dollar is spent by the municipalities
of the State on road building outside of
their boundaries. The cities Of the State
may properly be called upon TO do some
thing towards road building outside of
municipal limitations. Under the plan
as outlined nearly every county in the
State will be favored with a State high
way. Solano County viii be favored by
a State road running from Davisville to
Vallejo The proposed plan has accom-
plished a great deal In other States and

OLD OR NEW.
Fresno Republican: Considerable
heat is being generated in the columns
OF metropolitan journals over the dis
cussion as to whether new journalism
is superior TO the old. Ii is a good deal
like the new" and old woman con
troveTsy. The question of superiority
depends largely upon the matter OF use.
New journalism is a bowling success
in the cafes and upon the street but
in the homes of the people something a
little more subdued win always be in
demand.

The Aitkin Republican is of the opin-
ion that Mr.. A. Y. Merrill should be
paid for his professional services in
connection with the proceedings for
testing the validity Of the law taxing
unused railroad lands, and that .Aitkin
county can not reasonably be expected
to foot all the bills. The Republican is
right. 1t was mainly owing to- Mr..
Merrill's efforts that the law was
placed on the statute books of the
State, and he richly merits a handsome
fee for his invaluable services. If the
other counties interested in uphOlding
the law will not contribute their share
and we question their legal right to
do so-then it should be done by popu-
lar subscription. One thing is certain
Mr.. Merrill should be recompensed for
his arduous services. a.. ...&.

SPAIN is making pitiful whine
about lillibusters and telling in mourn
full numbers what she would have done
to Cuba ere this if the United States
had not permitted fllibustering Out fits
to be sent from our shores to the relief
of the islanders. AS a matter of fact
this government has done more than
it had any moral right to do in the di-
rection of SURPRISING fillibustering,
and a good deal more than the people
want to see done in the future We
have spent more money to prevent fl
libusteri ing than it would take, if it
were properly invested in arms and
ammunition, to drive the Spaniards out
of Cuba. When congress meets it, is
be hoped some action will be taken
that will be the equivalent of saying,
I'VE sympathize with the Cubans, who
are fighting the same battle we fought
a hundred years ago, and if you don't
like it you can lump it and take the
less of it, There has been too much
of this business of diplomatic courtesy
and diplomatic red tape and m;scel-
laneous damphoolishness and the peo-
pie are getting awfully tired OF it. g.,

ST. PAUL has not yet solved the
mystery of the rag and a bone and a
hank of hair with which her police
have been wrestling for the past
month. The only person of whom we
have heard who has mysteriously and
permanently disappeared is a person
by the name of Arthur Sewall, or
Sewell, or something of that kind, who
was reported to have been seen some
thing over a year ago up in the State
of Maine. But he didn't wear hair
switch and a shirt waist, so we are as
much at sea as ever.

SENATOR MASON. of Illinois. is {

SENATOR MASON, of Illinois, is one
of the noisiest of the senatorial advo-
Gates of Cuban recognition. The fact
is Senator Mason is really too noisy to
be of'any great practical benefit to the
Cubans. What the Cubans need in
this country is few men. of the good
old Jim Blaine type, who would tell
Spain the simple truth that this coun-
try is tired of looking upon the carni-
val of corruption, embezzlement and
assassination that has characterized
the Spanish war in Cuba, and give the
Dons the choice of getting out or being
kicked out.

WHATEVER may be the opinion of
Secretary Roosevelt about the increase
of the naval force, or that of Gen.
Miles about an enlarged army, the peo-
pie of this country will not willingly
witness any greatly increased appro-
priations for the support of the fight
ing force of the country until there is
some real fighting to be done, and
some real soldiers to do it. At present
the greatest ,feats of the privates seem
TO be in contests with the demon rum,
while the officers can find nothing
more important to their hand than
kicking the privates. -. .~..- -.

lines for the paper in the past six

not visit Princeton oftener than eight
or netimes during the year: his time

A. PLEA FOR THE CHILDREN, :


Have parents a right to train their
children to promotion in the criminal
classes? That is what very many Of
them are doing. When children are
taken from such vicious influences, they
have then large opportunities for true
and noble living. Yet the percentage
rescued, of all the children under bad
environage is SILICON aratively small.
The rescue of these children is the
best rescue work Of ALL. They are
turned from the criminal classes to be-.
come honored members Of society. The
strongest, the most efficient rescue
work must be done among the throngs
