State and Coast Opinions on Sub
jects of Living News
Interest.


/ Los Angeles Record: Tradition be
hanged. Abolish the class rush. Our
State University has provocation to do
/ so, ard 10 inculcate the humanities,
seeing that two students manned for
life is the outcome of this savage privi-
| Iege.
AS EXPECTED.
Alameda Argus: Just as we expect
ed The public is now having a yellow
sort of sickly journalistic sentiment
poured over its head anent the five lit
/ tie paupers shipped here from Hawaii
/ by somebody who evidently desired to
get shut of their care The public is to
! be cajoled into the belief that the news
paper which for advertising purposes
gave d bond and got these children
/ landed despite wise provision of the
| immigration laws is engaged in a hu-
mane action. The public will also be
| asked 20 contribute for the support of
the children. If we We're the whole
public we would not be humbugged a
little bit by such blathering preten-
sions. The chances are that the chill
dren should have been sent back
whence they came If they should not
be sent back, they should certainly not
be MADE cheap exhibit of yellow jour
nalism.
IT'S BUT A NIGHTMARE NOW.
Marysville Appeal: Instead of put
ting woolen coats and dresses upon
men and women the Democratic tariff
| clothed most of them in shoddy and left
the others in rags, remarks the Cleve-
4 Il
| it make to a man who was without
! work or wages whether the cost of liv
/ ing had been reduced or not? The
| Democratic tariff law was studied by
the people in the light of solid and sub
stantiai facts, and they concluded that
it was the worst law that ever had af-
ficted this country
NO CAUSE FOR SHUDDERS.
Oakland Enquirer: Those people who
sit up o nights agitating their brains
over the dreadful things which Japan is
going to do to the United States have
now a new cause for shudders. The
news comes from Nicaragua by the
roundabout way of Galveston that the
| Government of Japan is secretly nego-
tiating with the Diet of the Greater Re
public of Central America, now sitting
| Nicaraguan Canal independent of the
interests and influence of the United
States or other nations When it is
borne in mind that the Nicaragua Ca
nal would cost $780, ,000 600 to $500. .OOO.-
900, and that Japan is spending all the
money she can get on new warships
and military equipments, it does not
look very probable that she is going so
/ fay
chance to spend money in such large
amounts.
THE LABOR ISSUE.
Oakland Tribune: The professional
labor agitators who would not hesitate
to plunge the country into revolution if
they thought their heads would be safe
in doing so are endeavoring to stir up
the delegates at the St. Louis conven-
ton. They are not. as a matter of fact
seeking an amicable settlement of the
| troubles that now confront the toilers
by means of arbitration where the
claims of both sides can be considered,
but want to upset the entire social sys-
tenn by a recourse to measures that if
adopted would only end in bloodshed
To strengthen their position they are
resorting to false arguments as for in
!
a resolution, which if read between the
lines. calls the working man to arms:
| Resolved, That no nation in which the
people are totally disarmed can long
remain a free nation and therefore we
urge upon all liberty-loving citizens
to remember and obey article two of
the Constitution of the United States,
which reads as follows: The right of
= L 6.1, e~1,o
not be infringed. "
This is a false subterfuge. The con-
stitution does not convey the idea ex-
pressed at all. This is what the article
referred to SAYS: "A we'll regulated
militia being necessary to the security
of free State, the right Of the people
to keep and bear arms shall not be in
fringed'
This is an entirely different PROPOSE
ton to the one advanced by the agita-
tors. The Constitution expressly de-
clares that the object of the article is
so that militia regiments can be formed
| in the various States and it needs no
argument to show that that was the
irtention of the trainers of the pro-
vision, for it is apparent on the face of
| it. The constitutionality of the stat
/
cealed weapons has been challenged
time and again throughout the Union
and there has never been a decision
that did not sustain the legislation en-
acted to prevent individuals from go
ing armed It would be a menace to
every community if the conditions the
agitators want existed, for if a man
had the right to carry weapons he
| would Dat,,ra1l1- assume some right to
use them and the result would be
bloodshed and murderers innumerable.
TITS STRANGE.
San Jose Mercury: 1t is strange how
some Of these Po2ocratic newspapers
| will declare that they never said that
silver had any connection with wheat.
Here is the latest utterance Of one of
these sheets: THE fact is that wheat
never had any particular direct connec-
ton with silver anymore than any other
commodity had such connection" In
the language of the market this quo
tation is subject to change without no.
tice.
/ THE BEET HARVEST
Hollister Advance: Beet harvesting
is in full blast in the San Juan Valley.
The ground is exceedingly hard. and
''nlowing out" is difficult. The leaves
of the beets are turning a bright yellow,
and will not furnish extra good stock
feed this season. The beets, as a rule,
| will be small. but with high per-
eentage of saccharine matter.
