Chico Chronicle-R Record: The news
paper helps to build up and educate
the people. 1t formulates and crystal
ICES. public sentiment, upholds the right,
suppreSSeS the wrong, encourages en-
terprise, advocates economy, pleads for
justice and stands for the public veal
THE MATTER OF DEFICIENCIES.
Stockton Independent: Governor Budd
is finding out that others can think as
we'll as he, and that he cannot force
them to think his way. The resolution
before the State Board of Equalization,
which will probably be adopted and adj
hered to- will force State institutions to
keep within the appropriations as the
Governor cut them down. 1t would be
easy, Of course, to allow them to make
deficiencies, which would have to be
supplied under the administration OF
Governor Budd's successor, and give to
the discriminating the impression
that Budd's administration was very
economical and its successor the re-
verse That was Governor Budd'S evil
dent purpose, but he omitted from his
calculation to consider what others
might do to defeat his intentions. The
State Board of Examiners now pro-
poses to take the Governor at his WORD
and hold him to it also, in saying that
the appropriations he approved are SUI
fcient for the two years before the
meets again. The Governor
can find no logical objection to THIS
course. If he meant what his action
said, he should adhere to it and lind no
fault with the other members OF the
board in doing likewise. If he votes to
permit deficiencies to be made his vote
will contradict his vetoes. In DISCUSSING
his vetoes he defended them by point
ing out how he thought even the state
Printing Office could do all the work
necessary without the appropriation
he vetoed Now let him exercise like
ingenuity to show how the State hos
pitfalls and other institutions can do the
same, or come out in manly fashion and
that he was wrong. To
do so would be only candidly admitting
what a vote for allowing deficiency
would be admitting in uncandid form.
IT ISN'T FAIR.
Los Angeles Herald: The New York
Evening Post" taking the part of
wolf in Sleeps clothing, cunningly ad-
vocates the placing of duty on imports
of silver It says that the white metal,
as much as cabbage, potatoes or garlic,
is entitled to protection.
It is all very we'll for the Post" TO
lay bare the gross inconsistencies of the
Dingley tariff bill, but every
true friend of silver will protest against
it's further degradation as a commodity.
Silver is not involved in the question of
the tariff 1t belongs to the currency
question alone, and will stand or fall
on that issue.
NO HOPE AND HOPE.
Tulare Register: The Stockton Mall
deliberately affirms that the purpose of
the gold standard people is to enslave
the masses. Populists affirm that hard
times are produced by the demoniacal
Vaccinations of capitalism, with delib-
Grafton and malice aforethought, but it
was left to a Tulare County man re-
Gently to affirm that the Salvation Army
is another device of satanic greed whose
is to make the depressed and
oppressed needy cOntented with their
lot and thus prevent those overt acts
of resistance which might entail up
pleasant consequences upon capitalism.
The man who can see some good in
all things evil will never walk alto
gether disconselate, but there shines no
ray of hope on the pathway of him who
sees only evil and evil intentions in all
things good That man will walk in
desert places all mis- days and he will
drink wormwood habitually as bever-
age. He is soul damned before the
Day of Judgment. The only hope
of such a one is that, while he is yet
young, something may transpire to
turn his face toward the light.
LOOK OUT! GIRLS.
Modesto News: 1t is well for girls
to bear in mind that the United States
has risen in it's majesty
and proclaimed that it will no more be
insulted by permitting coins bearing
its stamp and superscription to have
holes punched in them and be dangled
from young women's arms. Young
ladies are forbidden to wear any more
bangles or bangles made of United
States money.
JUST so IN ALL THINGS.
Santa Rosa Press: When a man
comes to Santa Rosa looking for a
good horse tell him he can find one
here. If you cannot sell him one do
not give your neighbor, who has horses
to sell, black eye figuratively. If
you cannot sell him a horse don't try
to keep him from buying from some
body else. This foolish kind of work
has prevented the sale of more than
one good horse in Santa Rosa Such
a policy is suicidal.
SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED.
Oakland Enquirer: The spoilsmen,
who have been making brave progress
in the State institutions, are now af-
ter the position of e. c. Bank, who is
the Superintendent of the Preston
School of Industry at lone. 1t is re-
ported that at meeting soon to be
held an effort will be made to have the
post declared vacant in order that
some politician who has a claim to be
taken care of may be provided for at
the States expense. Mr.. Bank is
probably not a politician and therefore
has no claims of this nature. His only
claim to tie position is that he is the
right man to fill it, having the benefits
of experience combined with the nat
ural fitness for such a trust.
We believe it is the opinion of all of
the many persons who have visited the
Preston School that it is one of the
best managed of our State institutions.
Such was the judgment of those mem
bers of the late Legislature who paid
a visit to lone, and their opinion is
confirmed by those who have enjoyed
still better opportunities to form con-
such as the agents of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children These perSOnS who NAV
