GOOD ROADERS CONVENTION.
A Large Gathering and Much Interest Taken
in the Work.

! III tiI5 WORK.
| The good roads convention held at
the court house last Saturday was
well attended by farmers from every
section of the county who manifested
| much interest in the work. Judge
w. w. Graves made short talk on
the Importance of good roads to
county and state and displayed much
knowledge of the subject, showing
he had given it some thought.
Miss Harder, of st. Louis, Sec. OF the
State good roads association, then
explained the work that the associa-
ton is doing in the State. They are
assisting in perfecting organizations
In each county in the State to agitate
and educate the people upon the best
methods of permanently improving
the kigh ways. The object is to OBJ
tain proper legislation that will make
the cities, which have two-thirds of
the wealth of the State, bear their
proportionate part OF the expense.
Miss Harder is an educated lady, who
has given this subject much thought.
and her exposition of the plans of
the association was thorough and
satisfactory to her audience.
Rev. Jewell delivered q thoughtful
address in which he compared the
roads OF foreign countries to our
own.
The chair appointed the following
committee on permanent organize
ton and bylaws: John B. Newberry,
Pierce Hackett and J. D. Allen,
The report OF the committee was

COL, ROOSEVELT'S DISCRETION

In his acceptance of the Republican
nomination for governor of New York
Colonel Roosevelt gives very little evil
dence Of his natural independence. He
evidently perceives that he will need
all the assistance that the party machine
can render. Therefore he plants him.
self squarely upon the Saratoga plat
form and dons the party harness as II
he had no fear that it will chafe him.
The only semblance of his character
istic independence is found in a single
sentence. He says that if he should be
elected he will strive to administer the
duties of the office 'in the interests Of
the people of the state as whole, know
ing that owe my position to the people,
and to them shall hold myself account
able"
Colonel Roosevelt's moderation must
be ascribed to desire to conciliate the
regulars" who opposed him because of
his previous intractableness in party
harness. He knows that he will need
the full strength of his party, and lit
tie more, to beat full Democratic vote
polled by Judge Van Wyck. 1t is quite
probable that a more characteristic ac-
ceptance would have pleased the colonel,
but nobody knows better than he that
"discretion Is the better part of valor."

SOUND BAY STATE DEMOCRATS

There is the ring of pure metal In the
resolutions adopted by the Democratic
state convention of old Massachusetts,.
Neither evasion nor equivocation is
there. OF all the official utterances of
the party, in state conventions, we
think the palm should be awarded to the
Bay state for vigorous, caustic English
In the arraignment of the Republican
party.
The resolutions Of the Massachusetts,
Democrats eulogize Mr.. Bryan and en-
dorse the Chicago platform with re-
freshing heartiness. They "reaffirm
and emphasize with profound convic-
tion the great and patriotic platform Of
principles adopted by the party in ma
tional convention at Chicago in 1885,"
And then it is further declared that the
Massachusetts Democrats again de-
mand the return Of bimetallism, by re-
storing silver and gold to coinage at the
old ratio.
The conduct of the war Is scathingly
criticised, and the military administra-
ton is characterized as "a stigma onithe
history of the republic and disgrace
to civilization" The platform also de-
mands a thorough investigation Of the
war management, mot by an admins
trative committee, organized to acquit,
but by authoritative action of congress.
This action of the Massachusetts
Democrats is specially interesting be-
cause their state is quite as capital
times that in the contest two years hence
the Democrats of New England, and
New York as well, will be found standing
firmly on the issues embodied in the
Chicago platform.

WHY HIS BLOOD BoILs

A REMINDER TO REPUBLICANS

We publish herewith some excerpts
from the platforms of recent Republican
conventions, national and state, to re-
fresh the recollections of the members
of that party. We are moved to this by
the same spirit which animated the
Apostle Paul when he wrote, II think
it meet, so long as l dwell among you,
to stir up your pure minds by way of
remembrance" The honest and pat
riotic members of that party, through
forgetfuness, have been lead astray
from the doctrines not only of the faith
ers of the republic, but of those held by
their party from the time of Abraham
Lincoln to Mark Hanna.

CHRONIC oFFICEHOLDERS

The fight between the outs and the
ms in the late Republican county con-
vention was won by the outs on the
charge that the ins had been in office as
long as they should be, and that official
favors should be passed around.
It would be as much trouble to keep
a record of the holding of the con-
testants as it would be to compile rec
ord of the weather for the last twenty
years. We have not kept such record
hence cannot speak with absolute au-
thority, but some of the Republican as
pirants, as they claim, have kept
record of the periods during which both
sides have had their noses In the public
crib They state that the ins have held
office in the aggregate forty-one years
and that the outs, who have been nom
mated to be voted In, in the aggregate
have been in office one hundred and
thirty-eght years.
In view of these facts the nominees
that to elect them will be distributing
favors, but a recognition of the value
of experience in long public service.
Those who were successful before the
convention are astute politicians. They
used one argument to secure nomina-
tions. and are using an opposite one to
induce the people to elect them. They
hoodwinked the convention, but to do
the like with the people will not be so
easy. The general sentiment is that 1t
would be best to wipe out the old score
and begin a new one. So say we. Let
US have a thorough house cleaning now
and then; it will promote cleanliness and
health. And besides it would be q bless

THOMAS o. ToLAND

| The Democratic convention of the
Fourth equalization district showed its
good judgment in nominating Thomas o.
Toland of Ventura for member of the
board Of equalization.
For the last four years this Office has
been filled by George Arnold of this city,
whose record has endeared him to the
railroad corporations, but has earned for
him the distrust of every reasonable
voter in this district, irrespective Of
party.
Arnold during his term of office has
served the railroad so faithfully that
its managers have awarded him a re-
nomination, and are leaving NO stone
unturned to secure his election.
The Los Angeles Times has this to say
Of Arnold and his administration:
In previous articles the Times has
shown that George L. Arnold has been
the plant tool of the Southern Pacific
company of Kentucky, while ostensibly
representing the sovereign people Of
the state of California. Having been
nominated through railroad influence,
he has consistently served the interests
from his employers their influence in
favor of his denomination, which was
consummated in spite Of the earnest
opposition of the Independent and
untrammeled elements of the state con-
venton.
Through the acquiescence and con-
nivance of George l.. Arnold, member
of the state board Of equalization. the
Southern Pacific Railroad company
has been enabled to evade the payment
of its legitimate and honest share of
taxes. not orly in Los Angeles county,
but In other counties throughout the
state In consequence of this inequal-
ity of assessment the taxpayers OF
California. in both city and country,
have been subjected to unjust and
onerous burdens.
In Mr.. Toland the voters Of this dis
trict have a man whose record upon the
railroad question. is without a blot, and
whose standing at the bar eminently fits
him to see through the legal cobwebs
with which railroad attorneys attempt
to blind the eyes of public officials and
thus prevent an honest discharge of their
duties.
Mr.. Toland Is entitled to and should
receive the votes of every man who be-
lieves that the railroad should pay its
full share of the tax burdens of the state

A JOINT DEBATE

A correspondent sends the following
suggestion, which Is commended to the
committees of the opposing
political parties:
1 beg to suggest that the two csndi-
dates for governor be invited to Jointly
debate the issues of this campaign at
various leading cities in California,
and that those debates be jointly
printed and widely circulated. The adj
vantages of joint discussion are clearly
obvious, and l believe that such a plan
regularly executed would call out more
hearers and result in the dissemination
of more real knowledge as to the situa
ton than any other that could be de-
vsed l feel quite sure that Judge Ma
guire would cheerfully concur In the
plan, but do not feel so certain that
Mr. Gage would. The least Mr.. Gage
could do, however, would be to decline.
