body they imagine they are not doing
their duty"
That quotation is from the San Fran
cisco Post" and the Post" should be
ashamed of its utterance. Most legisla-
ton at Sacramento is not designed TO
hurt somebody, and even the careless
writer of the quoted words cannot sup
pose that it is. A Legislature which
chiefly devoted itself to injuring some
body would hardly endure for single
session, so hot would be the blast of
popular Indignation which would blow
upon it. Nor have the Solons an idea
that they nfast ''cinch' somebody if
they would do their duty the ridicu-
lous assertion answers itself.
There is too much of this undigested
and indigestible proclamation that all
or most legislators are rascals. Suppose
that the assertion were BADLY true, to
whom would be the chief reproach? To
the people. of course. Do not the peo-
pie elect these Legislators, and if they
elect only knaves, who but themselves
are to blame? Nor can any proposition
be safer than that lawmakers generally
represent fairly we'll those who elect
them. If our representatives are ras-
calls we must look back of them for the
root of the disease.
WELL DONE.

Three thousand dollars of the new fund

make the university, as it is, poor

those who roll in wealth. We are heart
lily glad of the passage Of the bill. That
