In North Dakota a bill to create a
State Board of BARRIERS to act as 'EX-
aminers" of all BARRIERS was paralleled
by similar bill in the California Leg
islature at the present session. IN
Dakota also a bill was introduced to
make the playing Of football misde-
rIeanor. but it met its fate in death on
vote being taken. Michigan was
offered a bill to regulate newspapers
by making them pay a special tax ana
Ohio did not escape the craze for reg
ulation. It came in the form OIL
measure to prohibit rail and street car
companies from excluding newsboys
from their cars, for sale of papers. But
the protests of people who do not WISH
to be walked over every five minutes
by ragged, muddy news urchins served
to kill the bill.
We have no idea of attempting to list
the freak bills that have appeared III

The New York Association for reliev-
ing the condition Of the poor recently
employed Professor Atwater to make
critical examination into the methods
employed by some of the poor in large
cities in choosing and preparing their
food. The result OF his examination
was the conclusion that a very large
loss is visited upon the poor, or a large
proportion OF them. because of the un-
economic methods they use, and that
this is due to want of knowledge of
the economies OF marketing and of
cookery The selections of food are
very often made regardless of their nu-
tritive qualities. and the highest prices
least sustaining power and is least
wholesome The housewives of those
not poor and yet not rich. are far more
wise in their selection and in prepara-
ton of food. /. would seem, therefore.
that one of the ways to help the poor
is to instruct them in the values of
food and its proper preparation for
consumption. All this recalls remark
made to us not long ago by a dealer in
fresh meats in a city, who said that
the most careless and extravagant GUS
toners he has arr those least able to
pay. In the selection of meats, he
SAYS there is absolute waste on the
part of very many of those who are
suffering from poverty and when he
ventures to advise them, he usually
meets with a rebuff. If this is true.
then ii would be a work of beneficence
to have public instruction upon this
subject either delivered by free lectures
or printed and circulated where most
needed. For instruction OF this order
If accepted amounts practically to d-
rect giving Of rleans. Whoever is
taught how best to use what he has, to
sustain himself is really given all that
he saves by employing proper as com
pared with wasterul and uneconomic
methods.

LYCADORD DISCHARGED.

Threats Against Life.

The case of threats against life, with
which offense Joseph Lycadord, the
Swiss laundryman who was recently
buncoed cut Of $500 by some of his fell
low countrymen, was dismissed yester-
day by Justice Henry and the defend
ant discharged.
The evidence showed that the prose
cutting witness was living on the earn
lnSs OF his wife, who occupies a den in
lower l. street, and that his reputa-
ton was bad while that of Lycadord
was good. The weapon with which the
alleged shooting was to be done was
produced in court and Judge Henry
said if it was fired at a man it would
take him at least a week to find out if
he were shot.
The weapon could not carry more
than three feet and was not large

FAIR PLAY.

| IT is a trick as old as the barren hills
Of Egvpt to charge a Legislature as
corrupted in the passage of bill, ana
when confronted with an investigating
committee to refuse to say what was
the source of the information OF the
accuser, on the ground that the COM
munication was confidential.
It is a trick as old as the pyramids
tc lay charges against legislative
body and when called upon to produce
the proofs, to say that they are in the
possession Of another, and intermingled
with vast mass of records not mater
ial TO the issue. and revelation of which
it is well known is not wise or in line
with human right.
Fair play is a jewel. 1t is more, 1t
is the soul Of honor When, therefore,
any newspaper attempts to lead its
readers to believe that legislative in
vestigating committee appointed to use
all it's powers to evolve the truth under
charges laid is really striving to cover
of it. and when on the basis Of such
representation such paper procures ana
publishes expressions from citizens
condemning the legislative committee
because of such assumed attempt to
suppress the truth, that newspaper
has taken a mendacious, dishonoraple
and unmanly course.
That. it seems to US, is precisely the
position occupied by the San Francisco
Examiner" to-day. 1t is publishing
statements by citizens denunciatory of
the LEGISLATURE now in session. on the
basis of the assumption that the houses
are refusing or obstructing inyestiga-
ton into charges by the Examiner,
when in fact there is no ground what
ever for any such assumption.
We are not concerned in the matter
further than the truth concerns all
decent intelligences in the State. But
we are concerned at all times and in
ali things in the demand for fair play,
and we assert unhesitatingly that the
course of the San Francisco "EXami-
ner" in this matter of securing and
publishing expressions of opinion on
the basis of information that the leg
ielatiye investigating committees are
obstructing the Investigations, and
blocking the way to the exposure of
the truth. is mendacious and little
short Of infamous.
