PARTIES A PUBLIC NECESSITY.

In an editorial upon IAN important de-
mand upon which the people should
unite" to-wit, economy in public eSpen-
ditures," the Galveston News a day or two
since took occasion 10 hammer away again
on the party evil' and to express its
utter and pt!able hopelcssness of ever
seeing reform instituted by either OF the
great political parties.
The News would have something like q
great union meeting OF tine American mill
ions to put out a platform In opposition to
tho party tricksters' and 'machines!
1t places no reliance any more upon the

platforms put forth By organized millions
and wants something dictated by the ''un-
attached" forces OF the Nation. OF course
the propositions are mere words and silly
enough. but It Is one OF the co.,conitants
OF ''indepeadent Journalism" that 1t must
abuse Ia the organized political agencies OF
the time a journal without party
naturally wants everybody elses party tail
cut of. There is no moro dlsagTcsahle
character in life than a common scoid--a
bilious. cross. peoyish, suspicious. pessi-
iisistic kind OF fellow whose hand Is against
every man. The Galveston News poliu-
caily has degoaerated .;ito such char
aeier journalisilcally ind its daily install

As matter Of fact one OF the first
things school boy learns in America is
the necessity for political parties. little
republic OF some few thousand people might
get along with mass meetings IN the pub
Tic squares. bu; In q republic Of millions
there is TO other means OK ascertaining
the popular will except by the representa-
tive convention system and the distinct de-
narration of party lines and policies
Some organized. visible and tangible re
sponsibility must exist In order that the
people may know whom TO punish and
whom to reward. The congressman must
stand or fail by the general record Of his
party, so the governor. so the legislator.
SO office holders generally. Parties in
turn become watch and check on each
oiher. Think you there would be less ex-
trayagsnee IN legislative halls were legls-
lation and personal conduct a go-as-you-

state OF affairs would be the adyenturors
and spoisman's paradise. How formulate
and promulsa,e great policies without po-
liucal Organizations speaking through
party platforfus7 Who would announce
the policies ard who father them. In that
utoplan establishment dreamed Of by the
News?

 Gle Known.
 In the first place, California is known not by what millions of people have seen, but by what millions have read Europe is better known by contact fo Americans than Oalifornia. 4 praYT i- nent American author recently diseaV. cred California and filled the newsps- pers with the interesting and suegesti4e impressions 1t had made upon his mind. He had been to Europe 20 times and to the Pacific coast once, which is once of tener than many other distinguished travellers of tho eastern seaboard. Still further, the AHglo-Saxon race is dealing with new conditions in California. Coming from dense forests, from a land of heavy rainfall and from a temperate climate, where winters arc long and stern, 1t settled in treeless deserts, in a land ot slight and peculiar rainfall and under sky that never knows tho win ter. Finally California is in it's infancy.
 Born in a paEoxygm of speculation ono of the widest the world has seen 1t has outlived trying experience of lesser economic epilepsy and come to the threshold Of its true career strengthened and purified by the extraordinary Droe- ess. In less than half century several farraaehing changes have swept through the aaasSTiaI and social life of the stato, swiftly alto1iag the conditions of labor and q bus-5oss, Even for thoso living in t.-e midst of these events it has been difficult to read their significance and estimate their influence on the ultimate character of tho place and people. What wonder, then, that to tho outside world Calleo13la faa meantime appeared like a tumble of gold, palms and oranges, Of gilded millionairea and hopeless pau pors, ef eaeiablo farmers living luzari ously on small sections of paradise aaI of soryile alien laborars herdod in stifing taDemeats2 saeh are the conflicting as- poets ef the Golden Btato to those who view U 1rola -far.

 The story was curious. As related by the father Gfterward, 1t appeared that the common difficulty of choosing ! name for tine babo arose. Multitudes of suggestions only confused the young parents the more, uatil at last 1t was proposed to cast tho names into q hat This was Cone. A romantic aunt sug- geated Theodore. The mother favored Albert, in honor of Abort Gallatin Grandfathor Simpson voted for Hiram, because he considered it handsome name. The drawing resulted in two names, Hiram and Ulysses.
 Ulysses i5 is said, was cast into the hat by Graudmother Gimpaon, who had been reading a translation of Fene- lon's 'Tolemachus and had been much impressed by the description of Ulysses given by Mentor to Tolemachus " Ro was gentle of speech, boaeioent of mind.
