Santa Cruz Sentinel: "One should
speak well and act honorably; the one
is an excellence of the head, the other
of the heart, and both arise from nopll-
ity of the soul Words are the shad-
ows of deeds; the former are feminine,
the latter masculine. 1t is more I'M
portant to be renowned than to convey
renown. Speech is easy, action hard
Actions are the stuff of life, words It's
frippery Eminent deeds endure,
striking words pass away. Actions are
the fruit of thought; if this is wise,
they are effective" Such was the re-
Election Of a wise man hundreds OF
years ago. 1t will ever remain true. 1t
is given to but a few to speak the words
which remain for all time; but all men
act and are seen by their fellows. 1t is
imitation which makes common sent-
ment. Those who act noblest are the
ones copied A dozen of upright men
in a township are as good, if not bet
ter than a library. Virtue does not re-
suit from knowing, but doing; and this
latter comes from following those who
practice the way of right living.
Everyone has a right influence, and SO
nothing is ever lost. Each smile goes
ever widening through all the ways of
men.
THE UNEMPLOYED.
Redding Free Press: The Santa Rosa
Democrat says that the unemployed
are a fearful product of class legislation
which protects the few at the expense
of the many" AS there We're more per-
sons out of employment during the
Democratic administration than before
c,i, nnIsot
editor, by the above remarks, does not
pay a high tribute to his party. The
Democrat then goes on to say: Bad
government makes the unemployed pos
sible. Remove the cause and the un-
employed will disappear" We do not
agree fully with this, although we must
admit that good or bad legislation has
much to do with the prosperity of all
citizens of our republic, and so far as
possible, the Republican party, with its
policy of protection. will endeavor to re-
move the cause But, under the best
possible conditions, there must be a
large class Of unemployed. Laziness,
drunkenness, improvidence, shiftless-
ness-all these are causes for unem-
ployed. In these days there is too much
shifting of responsibility on the Gov
ernment.
4 POSITIVE EVIL.
Winters Express: Some people don't
begin to know enough to mind their
own business. even if they had any.
The other day a party came to Win
ters to buy land They were shown
forty acres of fair quality of soil, and
the price was made to them according
ly. They had almost closed the deal,
when some smart aleck remarked that
that land wasn't good for anything.
That false and needless assertion broke
off the trade, and the gentlemen are
likely to leave here without investing.
The land they were offered was worth
the price asked. and was we'll suited
to the uses proposed for it. Just the
same the would be purchasers were
driven away by men who should have
better sense. This section needs more
people and more money; but few
funerals might not be aniss. There is
not a foot of land here but is worth
paying for at some price and worth
owning We have known people to get
rich minding their own business, too.
SEEKING INVESTMENT.
Tuolumne Mother Lode Magnet: Go
where you will on the mother lode you
will meet representatives of capital
looking for investments. These men
come from San Francisco, New York
and abroad The magnet that attracts
them here is gold. They find mining
conducted on the lode as a legitimate
business and they know that it has no
equal in any of the different branches
of industry as a profit winner.
THE DINGLEY BILL.
Santa Cruz Sentinel: Calling a spade
a pitchfork does not make it such.
Democrats. when they want the pro-
ducts of their sections protected, speak
of the rates proposed as a revenue
duty" Nevertheless, they are per
fectly willing to accept the rates OF
the Dingley bill. which everybody
knows and recognizes a sa thoroughly
protective measure. The Texans make
no objection to the Dingley rates on
