The city is best governed-the matter
Of the laws and their sufficiency being
supposed to be the same in all cases
in which there is the highest executive
ability. There can be no question then
as to what will best conserve Sacra-
mento interests in the coming cleo
tion--it is the election of William Land
as chief executive officer of the city.
The matter lies between him and the
present incumbent, though strong ef-
fort is being made to create a different
impression.

ONE WEEK MORE.

Mr.. Oxnard has extended the time
for securing the necessary subscrip-
tion Of ten thousand acres as a con-
dition precedent to establishing a beet
sugar refinery in Sacramento County
to November 1st There are needed
1000 acres more. If Sacramento does
not subscribe them in the next seven
days we lose an industry that would
be of benefit to every man, womap and
child in the entire county. A week is
short time, but it must be used to
the very best advantage. San joaquin
and Fresno Counties, Yolo and Solano
Counties stand ready to snatch the plum
from our lips. Shall we confess inabii-
ity to grasp a prize similar to those
which have done so much for Southern
California and for some of the coast
counties, where such establishments
have caused millions of dollars to be
disbursed in the county communities?

MISS LEILA M'KEE.


tional heights to which a typical Ken
lucky girl may rise is the career Of Miss
Leila Mckee, the famous president Of
the Western College For Women at Ok
ford, o. Born and reared in the blue
grass region, Miss Mckee is thorough
southerner. but at the same time she
has gained for herself place among
the foremost educators Of the day.
Her father, the Rev. John l.. Mckee
of Danville, was for 20 years vice presi-
dent of Center college, Danville, from
which institution he resigned last June,
being made vice president emeritus.
Miss Mckee went from private schools
to Caldwell college and in 1877 was
graduated from what was then the
| Western Female seminary at Oxford, O.
| By special consent of the faculty she
then entered Center college, being the
first woman student to do so. She took
the complete course and was graduated
| with honors, receiving a classical de-
gree. Next she entered Wellesley, from
| which she received bachelors degree
in 1885. In the same year Center col.
lege conferred upon her the degree oi
A. M, and that of Phi. ID. in 1892.
For time Miss Mckee occupied the
chair of Greek literature and philosophy
in Caldwell college, and in 1888 she
was called to the presidency of the
Western Female seminary. That posi-
tion she has held ever since. During her
administration the seminary has become
q college. 1t has been no mere nominal
change, but under her skillful and en-
terprising direction the curriculum has
been broadened to the full dignity of q
college course and classical degrees are
now conferred
