VOICE OF THE PRESS.
EXTRACTS FROM EDITORIAL
EXPRESSION.
State and Coast Opinions on Sub
iects Of Living News
Interest.

Stockton Mail: There are seven pro-
posed amendments to the Constitution
to be voted on in November. The very
first one is a vicious thing. We trust
every voter who reads this will cast his
ballot against it.
The amendment allows the city and
county of San Francisco to pay, with
interest, any unpaid claims for mater
ials furnished and work done during
the forry-third and forty fourth fiscal
years, and provides that no statute OF
limitations shall apply to these claims
in any manner. They may be sued on
hundred years from now. The amend
ment also provides that the city OF
Vallejo may pay debt it owes.
We the strongly opposed to cum
bering the Constitution with such spe-
cial legislation as that. The precedent is
altogether evil. If this amendment car
ries others like it will be pulled through
from time to time until the Constitu-
ton, which ought to be dignified and
noble instrument, dealing only with
generalities, will bear the appearance
of a crazy patchwork quilt, pieced to-
gether of this and that bit of petty
special legislation.
This Juggling with the Constitution
in order to accomplish ex post facto
legislation is bad precedent; it is dis
tinct lowering of the tone of the SUI
preme law; it is vicious in conception
and debasing in execution. The passage
of this amendment is a menace to tax
payers in every other large city in the
State, Stockton among them.
Let every voter remember to vote
against amendment number one. 1t is
a bad and mischievous proposition.
THE HOOLEY REVELATION.
Fresno Republican,: We are properly
shocked at the revelations of Terah
Hooley as to the methods used by En-
glish promoters to secure the use OF
titled names as directors or sponsors of
their companies, but we should not for
get that a milder form Of the same Of
fense is common in all countries, and
regarded by most people as perfectly le>
gitimate. There is no man of public
position or large reputation who is not
frequently offered sinecure positions as
director or titular President of corpora
tions which are willing, to give him
stock or salary for the use Of his name
Up to certain limit this may be legiti-
mate enough; beyond that limit it is
certainly illegitimate; the trouble is to
draw the line.

HANLEY'S CHANCES

For Succeeding Turpie in the United
States Senate.
j. Frank Hanley does not say he is
going to win when the final crash comes,
but he wears an air of confidence that
tells very plainly that he has strong
hopes of getting the senatorial toga
that is being held by Mr.. Turpie.
The Indianapolis News places Mr.
Hsnley in the front, claiming thirty
votes at present for him. Hr. Hanley
is not talking for publication. Asked for
an opinion of the outcome of the strug-
gle he courteusly declined to say any
thing. "You know that | an not in a
position to say any thing" he added.
Mr.. Hanley says that he has not given
out an interview to any paper thus far.
When shown copy of the News con-
tanning the estimate giving thirty votes
in the caucus, and asked if it was his
opinion, he evaded the question, but
his manner left no doubt that he ex-
poets to have that many or more when
the fight opens. There will be eighty
nine votes to the caucus, and forty five
means a choice.
MIR. Hanley is the youngest candidate
that has aspired to the United States
senate from Indiana. 1t is generally
accepted that Mr.. Beveridge. of Indian
spOlis, is the youngest, but he is thirty
six, year MIR. Hanley's senior. Mr..
Hanley is thorough politician, having
made his debut when he was II years
of age. He is smooth talker, has an
easy manner and attractive personality
