CELESTIAL PHOTOGRAPHY.

The telescope not only reveals more
than can be seen by the eye alone. but the
sensitive film surpasses the power of the
eye when aided by the telescope. for the
camera records on the film objects which
the eye cannot see through the greatest
magnifying lenses. No matter how far
away or how dimiy it shines, the light of
the faintest star in time impresses the
film, and thus that which is invisible to
the eye becomes visible on the plate
In celestial photography the camera is
kept moving during the taking of a pic
ture. The exposure sometimes lasts sew
eral hours, and IL the camera were sta
uonary the motion of the earth would
soon carry the subject out of line with the
Telescope. The camera. therefore, is at
tacned to the tube of the telescope, and
the object to be photographed is brought
INTO the lens at the intersection of two
cross-WireS. Then, by a system of clock
work, the telescope moves so that the
SUBJECT occupies the same position on the
plate during the exposure. In the pic
ture or the Swift comet may be seen small
white lines. These are the marks or trails
of the stars. The telescope was adjusted
eled much faster than the stars, the pho
tographs of the stars appear as streaks
instead of as points of light

THE STORY OF TWO PULLETs

They live neighbors up on Indiana
street, and for years had been intimate
friends exchanging condolences and COS
sip as women will, attending the same
church, going to the same picnics and
buying at the same stores. Each bor-
rowed freely from the other, but the one
forgot to return about third of what she
received, and this is the rock on which
they finally split.
One of them keeps chickens and her en-
joyment in looking after them is only less
than that of eating them. They are pets
and her special pride.

THE SUPREME COURT.

THERE is a natural feeling that the Supreme
Court, the most august tribunal of the State,
ought not to be subject to the frequent changes
prevailing in offices and departments which may re-
qure knowledge less profound and where an expe-
rience less ripe may be trusted.
This year the Republicans offer two candidates,
both already the Supreme BENCH both on record
as wise and upright juriss In point of learning and
ability they may safely be said to hold advantage
over their opponents, while years OF training as JUS
tees of the Supreme Court have added to their capa
bilities No prentice hands desired where great
questions involving human rights and even human
life are to be adjudcated. Let have those who
have been tried.
Mayor Phelan has made direct appeal for the de-
feat of Justices Mcfarland and Van Fleet. They ac-
CURED his l-will by upholding law he had sought
to violate SO would they uphold any law the
statute books without fear or favor. This is why
there is public confidence in them and why the peo
pie will decline to make change

A Legislature controlled by the Maguireites could
seriously disturb the affairs of the State, if Ma
guire himself be defeated At this juncture OF
affairs cannot afford to have set of radical

We have seen what befel Kansas, Oregon and
Colorado when the Democratic and Popust fusion
came into power there California though financially
and ndustrially stronger than any of these States,
would, nevertheless, suffer to almost equal

only safeguard for prosperity is to elect conServa

None of them are advocates of any such political

WHY EDWARDS SHOULD WIN.

nominating ]. G. Edwards for the Board of
Equalization in the First District the Republicans
did wisely. They chose a who has lived for
thirty years in this city, whose reputation by no
means local, is without bemish, and who by energy
and force of character has risen to the propretorshp
of the best Underwriters Journal published in this
country Such strength as there is in rugged per-
sonality spotless integrity and long record of hon
orable achievement, Mr.. Edwards had, and bringing
it into the campaign he lent dignity and force not
only to his own canvass, but to the entire ticket.
1t is not alone in private life that Mr. Edwards has
been successful He soldier, and bears the scars
of wounds received he fought in the history
making battles of the Civil War. He possesses still
the military quality to the extent of being almost
verely conscientious in his dealings with men. He

is not given to compromise and personal interest
can swerve him from course which he conceives to
be right. AS member of the board Mr. Edwards
would be resoiute and fearless champion OF the IN
terests he would represent.
A membership this board is significant posi-
ton 1t is not to be lightly bestowed. This can
didate is eminently fitted for it. Beyond loyalty to
his party which falters, he is in no sense
politician, but he has won host of both personal
and political friends They know that in public office
as in private life he will be devoted to duty.
It is not always that candidate, strong in himself
has the privilege OF drawing strength from the weak
of his opponent but this advantage falls to Mr.
Edwards. The opponent is John P. Dunn, person
projected from the sandots into unenvable notorety
and since then thirstng, hungering and scheming for
office. The unpopuarity OF Dunn will add to the Ed
wards majority, but even against much more for
mdabe rival the election of the Republican candidate
would be assured by safe and emphatic lead.

THE FINAL RALLY.

TO-NIGHT at Woodward's Pavilion will occur
the most remarkable meeting of the campaign.
1t will be the final grand rally of the Republican
forces time of ubilaon that the hard work of the
canvass is over and victory in sight. The candidates
for Governor and Mayor will be present, as we'll as
the prominent orators who have been making
speeches throughout the State. Doubtless the ca
pacity OF the place will be taxed to the utmost The
committee having the affair in charge have been fairly
embarrassed by the enthusiasm. At first it was con-
tempated to have the uniformed clubs attend, but
there are many others who wish to be in line. The
clubs will assemble at Market and Montgomery,
thence marching in three divisions to the pavilion
each division preceded by drill corps. There will
be all along the way we'll at the pavilion plenty
of music and an abundance of fireworks. In fact to-
night will be notable as scene of joyous celebration
and will show how confident are the Republicans in
q sweeping victory Tuesday.

A CONSTITUTIONAL BUG"

HE attention of voters should be called to
paragraph upon the official State ballot by
which the ambitious legislative jobbers evil
IDENTIFY aspire to the adoption of constitutional
amendment No. 7. This amendment provides for
increasing the pay of legislators and splitting biennial
sessions into two partsa device which would enable
the lobby to do much of its fine work away from the
Capitol at Sacramento.
On the official State ballot opposite the words
Eyes" and NO." by which voters may express their
approval or disapproval of the amendment appears
the following description OF its purport: Amend
ment No. I, being Assembly constitutional amend
ment No. "a providing for adjournment of Legisla
ture for not less than thirty than sixty days
during each session.
Nothing is said about increasing the pay of mem
bers yet that is the main purpose of the amendment
there being doubt that the recess proposed was
invented merely to carry along a proposition to
lengthen the legislative sessions and make them
expensive. For the purpose of thoroughly uncover
ing the bug" which is here disclosed we append
constitutional amendment No. in full. 1t proposes
to change section of article " OF the constitution
to read follows:
Section 2. The sessions of the Legislature shall
common ce at IL o'clock meridian on the first Mon
day after the first day of January next succeeding
the election of its members, and shall be biennial
unless the Governor shall in the interim convene the
Legislature by proclamation. The Legislature snail
which 1T must adjourn to some date not less than
thirty than sixty days from the time of
adjournment. If the two houses fail agree upon
a time at which they will their session. the
Governor shall, by proclamation fix date for such
reconvening, which shall be within the limits above
prescribed. Upon reassembling the Legislature
shall complete its session. No pay shall allowed
to members for longer period than seventy five
days, AMI bill shall be introduced either house
except at the first twenty-five days of the session.
without the consent of three-fourths of the mem
bers thereof.
The duration OF legislative sessions at present is
sixty paydays. Ordinarily the members sit ten days
without pay making the session practically seventy
days in length Constitutional amendment N o, allows
pay for seventyfve days, makes the session eighty
days long and grants vacation between times to
enable the lobby to perfect its jobs. The effect
would be to increase mileage and expenses to the
extent of $4,000 or $4,000 per session without any
corresponding return to the taxpayers. That there
is pull behind this amendment is manifest from
the fact that its real purport has been kept off the
official ballot, evidently in the hope that voters will
be fooled into supporting it as an innocent change in
the law.
Every taxpayer should vote against it. 1t is tax
eating device and nothing else. No good can be ac-
complshed by increasing the duration of legislative
sessions; if they increased the money they cost
will be thrown away.
