FAILED OF SUPPORT.

The Fresno "Expositor" was one Of
published in the State. It chose this
ground upon the theory Of a longfelt
want. 1t recently suspended publica-
ton. The facts taken together would
seem to indicate that anti-railroad pho
bia is not demanded at the hands of
newspaper readers. The paper had just
entered upon a campaign wherein the
only issue offered by great party was
unthinking anti-railroad sentiment.
Mere sentimental opposition, or, rather,
prejudice, against the transportation
corporations is the only stock in trade
of the Democratic party. If this great
issue had journalistic embodiment and
exponent it was in the Fresno "Ex-
position"
But the people failed to sustain it..
The Democrats evidently thought that
they could get along without a mouth
piece of this character, while the com
munity in which it was published fail
ed to appreciate the value to the COM
munity itself Of a paper which in sea-
son and out of season indulged in bill
ingsgate toward a leading transporta-
tion corporation of the State. The
Evening Expositor" at Fresno was the
only considerable Democratic daily or
gan published between Stockton and
Los Angeles, a distance of 400 miles.
Its failure, under the circumstances, in
dicates that the Democrats cannot be
depended upon to sustain their organ,
and, especially, that anti-railroad pa
resis is not demanded by the class of
people who can read and who do read
newspapers.

Porto Rico for Americans.

Porto Rico under American control

deavors to establish a government the
Spaniards, who own the plantations
and compose the business community
will go back to Spain, after disposing
Of their property for whatever it will
bring. They are so proud and their
hatred of this Government is so grea.
that they will not be willing to live
under, our, flag. The island is of vol
canic origin, gushing streams abound
in the mountains, and yellow fever is
unknown, except at seapOrts, where il
is introduced from Cuba and other West
Indian islands. The natural riches ot
the island have remained practically
undeveloped.
The Spaniards have worked the plan
tatfons with negro labor, but have not
devoted any attention to the construc-
ton of railroads, except short spurs
about their plantations. The native
negro population will furnish all the
unskilled labor required by American
enterprise. Capital will find profitable
investment, but men without money
should hesitate before surrendering en-
ployment in the United States to seek
a fortune in Porto Rico. Limited num-
bers of mechanics will be required to
operate the plantation mills. construct
railroads and work upon other enter
prises, but, as in all countries newly
thrown open to Americans, the labor
markets Of Porto Rico are apt to be
overstocked before the island is a
month under the American f1ag.-Chi-

Finally our party triumphed, but,
alas, it has brought no relief to our
suffering people. The benefit of
that triumph has amounted to no
more that the distribution OF few
official prizes to the friends and
relatives Of wealthy aristocrats and
to the henchmen of political
bosses. There are, of course, ex-
ceptions, but this has been the rule.

THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION.

Aguinaldo's conduct, no matter what
it is cannot absolve US, as has been
suggested, from an obligation imposed
upon us by our own action in the Phil
ippines. What we have done had no
reference to Aguinaldo. Moreover,
the island of Luzon to which we have
confined our operations is as large as
New York and Illinois, and contains
some 100000 people, not a quarter Of
whom Aguinaldo represents.
Whatever our duty regarding these
people we must do it. 1t is going to
now that we have asserted over them
and their capital the authority of cap
tors. If we withdraw, as it Is inti-
mated the President is inclined to be-
lieve we should, Spain will re-enter and
the condition Of the Filippinos will be
more deplorable than ever. We have
covenanted with Spain to treat in COM
mission concerning the future of the ISL
ands If we waive that now, Spanish
control must be absolute and our retir-
acy complete We do not therefore
credit the story that the President
wishes to withdraw the authority Of
the United States.
The tale is more probable that he
wishes to do what the great body Of
the people desire done in this Philip
pine matter 1t is most likely that we
will treat for the retention of Luzon.
Assuredly no one will favor the sur
render Of the city and bay of Manila
TO Spain. To withdraw our army and
navy now, will be to give UP all the
fruits Of glorious victory, and will go
far towards negativing the success of
the Republic in arms in other quar-
ters The law of nations, the usage
of civilized war, justify US in holding
fast to so much Of the fruit Of our
conquest as is best for our own in

Politicians are now planning for the

SCIENCE VERSUS FASHION

It is interesting to note that DR.. Sar-
culture, who has for fully twenty years
studied the question of the physical ma
ture of woman, concludes that, in spite
of the follies Of fashion and the tyranny
Of old ideas regarding the proper sphere
for women, there is a better class of
women in the country to-day from a
physical view point than ever before.
Within the last twenty years all col
leges, academies and even public
schools, have given more attention
than in the past to the question Of fresh
air and exercise AS a result the lung
power and muscular development of
woman is better than in the old days
when it was believed to be sin for a
woman to take exercise or engage in
sports.
Sargent's researches have been con-
Quoted with great care, and his conclu-
sions are based on the result of millions
Of measurements. In spite of the fact
to-day as the physical superior Of her
grandmother, it is still true that GER
tain features Of the mode of dress COM
mon among civilized women are still
prominent factor in producing a
widespread and marked physical de-
terioration among the women of Amer
lea.
One of the most interesting facts de-
veloped by the researches of Sargent,
as well as by those of DR.. J. H. Kel-
logg, is that the ruling ambition among
modern civilized women is the desire
for smaller waist than nature intend
ed. These eminent men conclude, as
have all previous investigators, that
physiologically and in a state of nature,
the waist of woman is larger than that
of man. In proportion to her size and
weight woman has a larger liver and
larger abdominal capacity than man
and for reasons that pertain to the
draft made on her system in the func-
tions Of motherhood
1t is said that the hope Of the race
lies in the physical development of it's
women. In this age of thousands Of
new and complex callings, where the
future men and women will have new
obligations to encounter and new
strains to undergo, it will indeed be well
If parents see to 1t that their girls are
not warped by fashions that construct
the proper and healthful development
of the body. 1t is already dawning on
the plate makers that fashion must
adopt some form of dress that is at
least a partial compromise with Sci
ence, or science will obliterate the old
fashions by leading the most sensible
people to follow its behests, after which
ii will only be a question of time when
the great herd will follow the more
thoughtful leaders

DANGEROUS BICYCLING.

1t is discouraging to see every section
of the law that governs bicyclists and
drivers daily and fagrantly violated
by both riders and drivers. The law,
like similar enactments in other cities,
was made to protect pedestrians as
well as the very persons who pay no
attention to it.
To be more specific, there is a provi-
sion in Sacramento to the effect that
bicyclists shall have on their wheels a
continually ringing bell. This provi-
sion was made that the public might
know of the coming of a wheel, even
though the scorcher should fail to touch
the thumb piece of his gong. There are
bells that jingle and give warning, be-
ing sounded by the motion of the wheel.
Any one may readily discover that more
than half of the wheels are without this
bell. Why is it that some policeman
does not hail riders and give them
warning, or mount wheel, overtake
and arrest them?
There is another provision of the law
that makes it crime to whiz through
the streets beyond certain limits of
safety. This law is shamefully vio-
lated by bicyclists, many of whom fly
through crowded streets as if they were
in the open. Why does not somebody
enforce this provision of the law?
The rule that people driving and rid
ing should go to the center of the
street before turning, instead of whirl-
ing diagonally across corners is almost
never remembered. The violation of
this wise and safe provision of the or
dinances endangers the lives and safe
ty of all persons who cross the streets,
either driving, walking or riding on a
wheel.
The apathy that permits a just law
to remain a dead letter on the statute
books fosters bad citizenship There is
much in the example of obedience If
the laws are not good, especially laws
governing municipalities, they should
be speedily repealed; but in any event,
they should be enforced without hesi-
fancy. Nothing will more quickly lead
TO the repeal of a bad law than it's en-
forcement to the letter, and nothing
will make laws more respected and lead
to general good order and good citizen
ship more effectually than the enforce
ment of all laws
