THE BILLS IN THE LEGISLATURE.

AS to how many of them will become
laws no one can forecast, but a care
full examination of the multitude of
bills before the Legislature reveals that
the fact that a very great number OF
them are either good measures in
single direction, or look TO better
ments all around. In this considera-
tion of course we throw out claims
bills and consider only those affecting
the codes and social and political con-
ditions, and herein we are not discuss
ing legislators, but measures. 1t is an
evidence of lack of knowledge of the
subject when wholesale condemnation
| of proposed legislation is indulged in.
For though vicious measures, un-
wise and cruel measures, appear in all
| Legislatures, we affirm that the dis
passionate examiner of the bills pro-
posed at this session will be impressed
with the fact we have stated, namely,
that a very great number move in
right directions. Some of them are, of
course, impracticable; some are ut
| terly vain, and some of them are far
in advance of public sentiment, while
others reflect experience in social and
| political life in other States and coun-
tries, and some are the outgrowth of
good original home thinking and con-
scientious endeavor to better Califor-
MIA conditions. We think that a crit
| ical classification of the bills after
| careful examination into the matter
would place fully half upon the ap-
proved side.
In the midst of the tendency to con-
denim legislation simply because 1T is
voluminous, the truth ought TO be
stated, and it is in our Judgment as we
have set forth. The difficulty is that
in the mass of proposed measures,
those looking upward and forward are
very likely to be left at the rear when
the question of what shall become law
and what shall be rejected; what is
best for the people, and what is self
ish and dishonest, is settled.
The mass Of the propositions worthy
of commendation have not selfish and
personal interests behind to push them
on to passage. They proceed from
honest conviction on the part of some
one, but their chances of passage are
descended because they are largely
general in character and must depend
upon disinterested effort to gain for
| them a hearing in the midst Of the
crush 10 get bills through which relate
more or less closely interests affected

The argument that the State in an
effort to better river conditions is in
vading the work the Federal Gov
ernrnent ought to do is erroneous. The
Federal Government when it does act
only undertakes to maintain navigabil-
ity at low water. 1t never takes any
note of flood conditions with a view of
remedying them. What the State
should seek 10 do is to preserve the
drainway of the valleys and enable the
river to carry the waters at high
stages. That is what the proposition
now before the Legislature contem-
plates. and 1t involves Improvement of
navigation as an essential. That the
Federal Government Will object TO the
State conserving betterment of a navi-
gable stream is absurd. Restore the
avlgability of q river and you work in
harmony with nature.

two excellent reasons. They could not
do it worse than il is done by machine
now; they will not kick up the dust
that is apparently insaparable from
machine work except the street is
sprinkled to flooding, whereas. the hand
sweepers will not permit the flooding of
the pavements. Let US try hand
sweepers by all means; it will be a dis
tinct advance. The streets will be
swept clean to the curbs by hand,
whereas, the machine cannot do that.
Moreover, the hand sweepers will not
leave long lines of ungathered dirt as
the machine now in use always does.

Salaries Earned by Successful BUYERS,

A good buyer who year after year in
creases his business and the reputation
of his department, who leaves for tn
semiannual inventory a clean and de-
sirable stock-one who in fact, has the
genius of money making-is paid sal
airy in the big houses of from S., 900 to
$40, 900 and often a percentage on the
yearly increase of his sales. In some Of
the largest departments number of the
most capable buyers thus receive as
much as $50, 900 year and are regard
ed as cheap at that, a fact which can be
readily understood when it is remem-
bered that in single department of a
great shop selling, say, $1,000, 900
worth of goods year, difference of 5
per cent in the profits, which may be
the result of good manager as distin-
guished from mediocre one, amounts
to $50, 900. On the other hand, in the
lower class stores buyers in many of the
departments are paid as low as $25 a
week, with no percentage. If the large
incomes are the great exception, it is
also to be said that the opportunities are
more numerous than the men with the
ability to take advantage of Them

Two Horses.

The editor of the New York Chris
tan Advocate learned not long since
from coachman that horses are not
unlike human beings He writes:
Riding in friend carriage one day,
we noticed that the coachman made con-
slant efforts to restrain one of the
horses and to hasten the other. AS the
pair were handsome and perfectly
mated, we said, "What is the difference
between these horses, that you are con-
stantly touching up one and holding in
the other?''
Said he: ''The one that I whip can
not possibly overwork himself. l will
not say that he is lazy, but he is so
made that he never can and never will
do himself any damage. 1t would be
impossible to whip him SO hard that he
would hurt himself. The other can trot
a mile i'll less than 1926, and he would
trot from the love of it until he drop
pod dead. Hot or cold, he does his best. "

FILLINGABULLDOG'S TEETH.
An Operation Which Scranton Dentist
Did With Hesitation, but Success.

An Operation Which Scranton Dentist
Did With Hesitation, but Success.
A powerful and ferocious bulldog,
owned by Dr. Ward of Scranton, Pa,
enjoys the distinction of having big
gold filling in one of his incisors, and
good many citizens, who have caught a
CLEAN of the gold in his mouth, wonder
how the filling was done. Some think it
was done through hypnotic influence by
the doctor over the dog, while others
insist that it was through the dogs i'm
plicit obedience to his masters COM
mand
The bulldogs name is Gem. He is as
ugly in appearance as prize winner in
dog show. His nose is mass of wrin-
kles, and his eyes have wicked CLEAN
for any one but his master and Mrs.
Ward. His affection for them, however.
knows no bounds. When Gem was dis
covered one day clasping his muzzle be-
tween his paws, rolling over and over
on the floor and moaning, his mouth
was examined, and it was found that
there was big cavity in one of the in
cisors. 1t was decided that a dentist
should be consulted The dentist found
that it would be necessary to use a rub
Der dam, and he promised to fill the
cavity provided Gem was etherized.
This was done, and the operation was
considered a successful one, although
Gem evidently thought otherwise. Some
time afterward the filling came out, and
Gems last state was worse than his
first, for he refused to submit to another
operation with ether. At the first sniff
of the an9sthetic he not only added a
score of wrinkles to those already i'll his
nose, but showed his teeth i'll so danger
Gus way that the dentist refused to
proceed. DR.. Ward insisted that he could
make Gem stand on the table and have
the tooth filled without wincing. The
dentist was dubious about trusting his
hand between the brute's jaws, but
finally consented to try.
Gem was put on the table, and his
master stood i'll front of him, kept his
eyes fixed on Gems and told him to
open his mouth. Gem did so, and a rub
Der dam was soon adjusted i'll place.
The dentist set to work with the instru-
ment of torture called a bur, and one
of Gems ears went down in threaten
ing way, while the other remained cock
ed. The doctor held one finger raised
and kept his eyes fixed OH Gems, that
never wandered from his masters gaze.
The attitude Of Gems ears proved
barometer of his sutferings when the
bur touched spot close to the nerve.
When both ears went down, the dentist
knew he had gone as far as dogs nature
would let him go. Gems eyes never
wandered from the doctors in the q
hours the dentist was at work Gem
stood the final polishing, and when his
master gave the word for him to get
down from the table Gem danced with
demonstrations of joy at his release.
Since that day he has no trouble i'll
