AUCTION SALES.
THE DREYFUS VERDICT.

~ the question, "Was Dreyfus guilty OF enter
| ] ing into Vaccinations to send secret docu-
- ments to a foreign power?' five members OF
the cour-martal at Rennes voted yes and two voted
no. The accused was therefore pronounced guilty,
but as the majority agreed there were extenuatlng
circumstances another vote taken to the pun
ishment to be inflicted and the official announcement
OF the result is The court condemns by majority OF
five votes to two Alfred Dreyfus to the punishment OF
ten years detention
That is the Judgment which the French court pro-
nounces upon the case which for so long time has
engaged the attention of the civilized world and
which in France has aroused such antagonsms be
tween the partsans of Dreyfus and the partisans OF
the army as at times to menace the security Of the
public itself
The decision is not logical conclusion OF the trial
whatever view be taken OF the evidence. II Dreyfus
were guilty OF the reasonable crimes charged against
him he should be executed for it is not easy to
dersand how there be eXtenuating circumstances
in case OF treason OF that sort. IT, the other
hand, he be innocent he should have received an
honorable acquttal instead of a conviction and
degradation.
To the world at large the verdict will appear
attempt to evade the issue that has so disturbed
France Dreyfus being pronounced guilty, saves the
credit OF the army and of the officers of the general
stan VINO COn0emneQ MIN III tne IISt pace Ills
lease after short Imprisonment, which is said to be
all that is meant by the years sentence, will silence
the camor OF his friends by setting him free from
further punishment. The decision OF the court is
therefore decision OF expediency rather than OF JUS
tice 1t is even likely that the Government which is
known to be desirous Of getting rid OF the case may
pardon Dreyus and thus summary dismiss the issue.
Such conclusion OF the trial will satisfy neither
side The majority of intelligent men throughout the
civilized world will continue believe Dreyfus inno-
cent and to regard the higher officers of the French
army as guilty of a criminal conspiracy against him.
On the other hand, the enemies OF Dreyfus will con-
tinue to assert his guilt and insist that his punishment
should have been death To the statesmen who rule
France these dssatisfactons will be OF little
They have evaded crisis The controversy over the
case after this will be hardly than academic
discussion The incident itself is closed 1t remains
to be SEEN however, whether in the end expedency
will have better results than would have followed the
courage to do justice.

JUDGE AND ATTORNEY AT OUTS
Ernest Graves Objects to Paying a
Fine for Contempt

Ernest Graves, a well-known attorney
in San Luis Obispo County, has locked
horns with the Judge of the Superior
Court of that division, with results un-
pleasant to his Honor Judge Unangst and
Improbable to Graves. The latter had a
case before the court a week or so ago,
and he presented an affidavit in which he
set forth that the Judge was biased, and
concluding by asserting that by reason Of
the alleged bias his client would not have
fair and impartial hearing. Graves re-
quested or demanded that the court call
In Judge from some adjoining county to
hear the case so that his client should not
suffer by reason of the bias mentioned.
Judge Unangst considered the affidavit as
uncallsd for and he fined Attorney Graves
$500 for contempt. Yesterday attorneys
representing Graves applied to the Su-
preme Court for writ of certiorari to re-
strain the lower court from executing the
order of commitment. The ground for the
application is that the lower court had
exceeded its jurisdiction. A writ was
granted by the Supreme Court together
with a stay of proceedings, until the mat
ter of the contempt and jurisdiction can
he reviewed.

THE DANGER AT COLMA.

IRON the earnestness with which representative
| men OF San Mateo County have expressed their
opposition to the gamblers scheme OF getting
Colma incorporated it is evident that the issue were
to be left to the vote of all the people OF the county
there would be no danger whatever. The gamblers
would be outvoted by majority so heavy they would
abandon the scheme at and forever.
Unfortunately the issue will not be determined by
the vote OF the whole county. Only the residents OF
the district it is proposed to incorporate Will nave d
vote, and as they not numerous it will be conf
paratvey easy task for the political bosses like Buck
ley and the rest who are associated with the gam
blers to fill the district with voters who will do their
bidding at the polls 1t is that fact which constitutes
the danger of the situation and arouses the watchtu-
OF the people.
The issue is virtually in the hands OF the Super
visors II that body concede the petition OF the gam
blers for election the question OF Incorporation,
and great be not taken prevent the lmporta-
ton OF toughs and touts and others of the gambling
push, it will be foregone conclusion the gamblers
will out, for they have stacked the cards, loaded
the dice and fixed the game. 1t will be in their hands,
and the genuine residents and property-owners OF
that pretty suburb will be helpless in the face OF the
odds against them.
To the Supervisors then, the people look for pro-
lection. The incorporation Of Colma by the gang
that is seeking it the establishment OF a
wide open gambling hell of the worst kind 1t will
draw to San Mateo the viler elements OF the popu-
lation of San Francisco and blight the county the
region around Sausalto has been blighted. 1t will
be place to be Stunned by decent people, and be-
come the resort OF knaves and their dupes.
The exposure of the evil effects OF the Ingleside
racetrack gambling in this county has been so re-
Gently made the Supervisors OF San Mateo cannot
have the readfi1I record of crimes and
tragedies that were traced to that source Moreover
they be of the dsgracefu that have
been again and again enacted in Sausaito in the strife
OF one set OF gamblers against another There may be
many points for the Supervisors to take into consid-
Grafton in dealing with the issue but surely the de-
termnng must be that of protecting the commun-
ity from crime.

THE ROAD MOVEMENT.
EBrly In the Century Highway Int
provcmcnt Was Agitnted Quite
Generally.

The good roads movement in this
country is not of re cent origin, as many
who are following and agitating it may
think. In the earlier part of the cen
tury an agitation for good roads was
kept up for nearly 30 years, and had
among its leaders such men MS Henry
Clay and John Calhoun. This move.
ment resulted in the government TAX
ing sufficient interest in it to provide
for national turnpike through the
leading eastern cities to those in the
west. About the time the movement
was we'll under way, the railroads, as
means of transportation, became SC
prominent as to caus the road work to
stop.
Railroad building has practically
reached its limit in this country now
though there will be extensions of the
system gradually, but the good roads
movement which they stopped in the
earlier days is now receiving fresh i'm
petus from the lessons that good stee'
highways have taught the people, and
because of the necessity of good high
ways as feeders to the immense railroad
systems of the country.
Instead of having one kind of goot
road to the detriment of the other, il Il
very probable that the work of thu
League of American Wheelmen, in con
junction with the Farmers Nationa
congress and other agricultural organi
cations, will result In the work of roat
building being taken up where it was
left off some years ago and completed
as far as the necessities of the countr,
demand. TO do this will require mil
lions of dollars and much patient effort
but the good roads agitators are conf
dent they can convince the Legislators
and the people that improved highway
are an economic necessity.

An Ohio man writes to local paper
urging the practicabiIity and economy
of building country roads 1G feet wide
eight feet to be of good macadam and
eight feet of earth, carefully graded
and thoroughly rolled. This is IN ex.
cellent plan and will answer every pur.
pose under most circumstances. lie
says: Let each township take care OF
its own roads-that is, issue bonds for
a certain amount, say to run 10 or Is
years; thus make the property Of the
township build its own roads, and then
give the laboring classes of our own
towns the first chance to work on same
Put this in the hands of trustees, lei
them decide which road to take first
and how many miles each year, as we
do not expect all this to be done in one
year. There are lots of things that
seem to be mountains ahead of us, but
when we get to them they are mere ant
or mole hills, and so it will be with this
road business"

salutary Erect OF Good Roads on the
Home and Social Life of Rural
Communities.

1t is not uncommon for agricultural
writer's and lecturers who wish to make
farmers contented with their lot to say
that farmers have teams and their
wives and families can go to town when
they like and attend churches, socia-
bles, lectures, farmers clubs, oranges,
history clubs and Chautauqua circles,
for study and entertainment. This is
all true to some extent, and Is excellent
except during the two to four months
Of fall winter and spring when large
part of the farmers living remote from

beautiful and poetic in being snow
bound in the way described by our be-
loved poet Whittier in his delightful
