all water falling upon the road or shed
towards it threatening its integrity.
Water is plentiful throughout the
route into the valley. so that at proper
points sprinkling plants could be eco
nomically established. For an essential
in any good road system where rock
enters into the superstructure of the
highway is provision for its proper wet
ting. that it may be kept firm, hard
and smooth 1t is the hight OF folly
TO build a macadam highway and per
NIT its superstructure to wear away
under use for lack of water Indeed,
the surface wetting is as material in a
good roadway as is the preservation
Of the substructure from the assaults
of water.
The thing for the press and people
Of California to do is to move with
such reason, persistence and public
spirit in this matter that the Federal
Government will concede the proposition
and order the construction The moral
reasons for it are Of the highest char
acter. The value Of anything man pos
sesses resides in its use The owner
ship Of anything is valueIess so long as
its enjoyment is inhibited. The Yo-
semitic Valley is one of those great nat
ural wonders, the sublime architecture
of which should be enjoyed by the
largest possible number of the people
Of the Republic. Whatever adds to the
cost and inconvenience of attaining
this supreme pleasure is a restriction
upon the right of all the people.
A visit to the Yosemite Valley is a
liberal education. 1t enlarges the com
prehension of the stupendous works OF
nature. 1t augments and emphasizes
the conception of a first Great Cause
/ 1t ennobles the mind by contempla-
ton of the wondrous works of nature
and the littleness of the arts of man
in comparison. 1t is a lesson of delight
and a book Of instruction that should
be accessible by and open to the whole
| people, and the Federal Government
can in no way better conserve this ed
ucational process than by rendering ac-
| cess to it easy and the more desirable
Instead of throwing away money in
the purchase of present roads into the
valley, the Federal arm should con
struct its own road. The cost of pur-
chase of present highways, if they may
| be dignified by such a title, would go 3
long way if not indeed the whole way
in building a modern highway to the
valley, a permanent good road object
lesson.
Any present road purchased would
amount only to the transfer of a striI
of dust or a streak of mud 1t would
be uneconornic in the fullest sense
and to the extent of absolutely repre-
hensible waste to attempt to rebuild
any old road to the valley. This mat

and her children have utilized the hot
season for trip to Japan land will re-

| There are no developments in the
Hawaiian japanese controversy, and
no reply has been received to Secretary
| Sherman's latest communication. The
press opinion of Japan has become
much more conciliatory, and the ar
| bitratiOn of the negotiations between
Japan and Hawaii are regarded as dis
| posing of the chances of trouble be-
| tween the United States and Japan.
| The Japan Mall explains that the
man-of-war Naniwa was not dispatch
ed to Honolulu for the purpose OF max
ing an armed demonstration, but sim
ply to secure th4 orderly behavior of
Japanese justice in Hawaii. 1t adds
that Japan is TO be congratulated that
arbitration, the Only civilized exit from
an international difficulty has been Sc
lected as a means of settling q mere
question of compensation.
The ''Mainishi Schimbun" urges that
the United States should be compli-
mented by being named as arbitrator
rather than Norway and Sweden. 1t
says that decision by the United States

CHECK THE DRIVERS.

The authorities of Sacramento should
put little nervous energy into en-
forcement of the law regarding driv-
insufficient, they should call upon the
City Trustees to enact the needed or
dinances. Yesterday no less than three
complaints We're lodged at this Office
of Instances in which they narrowly es-
capped being run down at crossings by
drivers who swing their horses around
corners, grazing the curb as closely
as they possibly can, and going always
at a lively rate.
The most of the cases of this kind are
chargeable to people driving light We
hicles. Bicyclists, against whom there
have been so many complaints, some
we'll founded and some not, in rounding
corners frequently ride close to the curb
to avoid the danger of collision with
these same vehicles driven so recklessly,
and this all but compels the wheelmen
to add to the peril of the pedestrian.
In our local columns yesterday there
was recital of severe injury to Mr..
Herman, a wheelman, who was forced
to collide with a wagon. While Her
man was turning a corner hugging the
curb the team was whisked about the
curb and upon him. In New York to-
day a driver of an animal in harness
! is under severe penalties prohibited
from turning a street corner on the left
hand. He must pass over the intersec-
| ton and then turn upon the right side
| of the way Under no circumstances
| is he permitted to drive around a cor
ner at a greater speed than three miles
sition that will enable him to check
| his animal instantly if he meets a
wheelman or another driver or pedes-
trian on the cross walk.
Very frequently, indeed, daily and
nightly in Sacramento. teams. single
and double, are sent spinning through
the streets and whirled sharply and az
| full speed around a corner without the
/ least warning of intention to leave the
/ straight course, and, hence. it is that
! pedestrians are placed in such peril. In
turning corners it is noticeable that
seven out of ten of our drivers turn
/ across the left, or wrong side, in order
to reach the right side of the new line
they are about TO take. This renders
/ collision with anyone approaching
them or the new line on the right side
extremely probable.
Notice should be given that these
abuses must be stopped: that the right
side Of the street must be driven upon;
that in turning into cross streets the
turn should. if made on the right side.
be well away from the corner. certainly
never less than eight feet from the
curb. and that in turning in a direction
that puts the driving side of the street
the most distant, the driver must cross
over the center line of the intersection
1 before making the turn. If the pres
ent regulations do not justify such or
ders BY the police, then new regulations
should be promulgated. But it hap
pens that the rule of the road is the
law, and that the requirements sug-
gested are amply supported by the law
as it stands.
