Tulare Register: The pot is beginning
TO boil down in Cuba. The Cuban eie-
ment longs to take to the bush and re-
new their favorite occupation OF busn-
Whacking and brigandage They also
long to wreak their vengeance upon the
Spanish property owners and others
who were not with them in their reVo-'
tuition against Spain and strain at the
leash which Uncle Sam still holds in ms
mighty grasp. They also evlnce d
strong dislike to the cleanliness Whlch
Isl being imposed upon them. Gomez IS
an agltator and adventurer and smaA
reliance Us to be placed upon his stapll-
lty OF character. In fact, it is getting 10
De, In the eyes of the Cubanss long
time between revolutions, and they
want another one. Peace means work,
and work in is an abomination in their
eyes.
A CONFLICT WITHIN.
Kern Echo: Some Populists of the
old school have been holding conven-
tion in Kansas City and have conclud-
ed that they still have a. party. They
also have concluded that they will not
fuse. with the Democrats any more but
will go it alone There is much in the
sound of their report which indicates
the approach of dissolution, and still it
will be a political wonder if this party
should desert the field at this time.
At no time in the country's history
has there been so much interest in
socialistic ideas as at the present time,
and that is now and always has been
the corner stone of that party's creed.
In battling for that principle the Dem
ccratic party can be an ally of the
Populists in one way only namely, by
forswearing the faith of their fathers.
1t is not conceivable that the party Of
strict individualism can become the
party of communism without setting
aside all of it's sacred traditions.
AND THESE ARE STUDENTS(?.
Alameda Argus: The students of
berkeley have again given expression
to their sense Of humor. During the
recent exhibition of the Norris show
of trained horses and dogs in the col
lege town they threw some sort of
chemical, said to have been carbon
bisulphide, upon the animals, break
ing up the show. They say in defense
that the humorous sally was not in
tended to physically injure the animals,
only to confuse them and produce fun.
The manager of the show says he has
travelled over a large part of the civil
lied earth and given exhibitions, and
never before met with such outrageous
treatment. The witty sally seems to
have been wholly unappreciated by the
citizens of Berkeley, who have set the
officers of the Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals after the
wags.
GAMING
Fresno Republican: The Sacramento
Grand Jury has reported in favor of
licensing gambling on the ground that
it might better be decently and profit
ably regulated by license than left 10
blackmaI and subterfuge There are
two sides to the question, of course, but
there is more than we sometimes think
in favor of THE policy of licensing all
these public evils which We will not
prevent. There. is a false and hypo-
critical virtue about our laws which
blinds our eyes to the notorious faults
of our practice. If we were under OBJ
legations to recognize by law every evil
we did not choose to prevent, and to
enforce absolutely every law we chose
TO enact, it would give a new meaning
TO law and a new disgrace to the toll
Grafton of vice. We show too little
sense of public responsibility when we
enact laws which we know will not be
enforced, and then leave the manner
or their nom enforcement to the choice
OF officers sworn to enforce them.
MR.. HUNTINGTON'S TEXT.
Red Bluff News: A good deal has
peen said about a speech made by c..
Z. Huntington at dinner given by him
in San Francisco recently to the
officers and prominent employees of the
Southern Pacific Company The fol-
lowing paragraph from it is being crit
iczed:
How many young men with college
educations are standing about wait
ing for something that will never come.
because the work that lies nearest at
hand is not to their liking Somehow
or other cur schools, which teach young
: people how to talk, do not teach them
how to live"
We see nothing about this that is
not worthy of commentator. The
schools do not teach young people how
TO hive as much as they should do. and
TOO many young men are turned out of
them who can talk well and appear
WELL but who do not know how to do
anything to earn their bread, and find
the fine things learned at school of but
little assistance to them in the strug-
