IN STATE BOARD OF TRADE.
Napa Register: Among the visitors
| to the State Board of Trade in San
francisco last Friday, as shown by the
register" says Secretary and Manager
j. A. Fflcher, there We're representa-
tives from fourteen States and Terri
tories, outside of California. and two
foreign countries. The list of those
who visited the boards exhibit from
California included people from almost
nall the counties in the State. Not
W1thstanding only a few of the many
visitors stop to register, yet the show
ing forcibly illustrates. not alone the
value of this exhibit to California as a.
whole, but particularly to the counties
that are represented therein By means
OF their exhibit in this aggregated show
their characteristics and products are
brought forcibly to the attention of
many people who otherwise would per-
maps not know of their existence 1t
can safely be stated that as many peo-
pie from near and far visit the State
Board of Trade exhibit in one week as
visit even some Of the accessible coun-
ties in one year.
A county. or even a small commu-
nifty would think nothing of spending
Slo or S2O to illustrate to passing for
elgn visitors some of its possibilities
IN the way of production, and yet by
exhibiting with the State Board of
trade II is accomplishing this feat
| daily at an expense of less per month
than one modest show gotten up for
one small party would cost at home.'
ASSAULTS ON CAPITAL.
Tulare Register: The San Francisco
| POST has an intelligent and rational
article deploring assaults upon capital
on the part Of the journalism of San
Francisco in particular 1t is a fact
that demagogy in journalism and poll
tics are continually making assaults
upon capital that are not justified by
the state of facts taken as provocation
and the city Of San Francisco and the
State of California are greatly injured
thereby. But the most cruel terroriza-
ton of capital is by capital which or
games itself into trusts for the pur-
pose of crushing out capital What

envy to investment and enterprise
though denagogism is bad enough.
THE BLUE AND GOLD" MATTER.
Alameda Argus: The faculty of the
State University has dismissed the
manager of the class publication, blue
and Gold, from that institution. There
was petition, signed by 900 students
for the reinstatement of the editor. and
1t was thought it would receive favor

therefore, matter of much surprise.
There are two things that suggest
themselves in this connection: Will
the student body be moved to reprisals
and thus to further foolishness? And
VIII the action of the faculty bring
nome to the undergraduates a better
reaflzation of what they may do with
seemliness? The latter is certainly de-
sired. The thing is not to prevent
through fear such raw work as that
found in Blue and Gold,' but to- incul-
cate a sense of the prophecies that will
restrain the students on their own ac-
| count. 1t doesn't seem that thew can
understand what is generally thought
OF their "joshing' by the great outside
world. Many of them may not care
personally, but the reputation of the
states institution, and through that.
to a considerable extent, the estimati on
OF the stage of civilization that exists
out here, are matters that others are
concerned in, and that must be taken
account Of
TFaEASONABLE OPPOSITION
Los Angeles Times: The unreason-
aoie, irrational Off not reasonably op-
position to the course of the Govern
| nent IN attempting to restore order and
prevent anarchy in the Philippines, is
due to a dense Ignorance of real condi-
tons in those unhappy islands. Such
| ignorance on the part of those worthy.
yet misguided persons who pose as
teachers and philanthropists is certain
ly mexcusable and deplorable. Before
making further exhibitions of them
selves before the public in opposition to
the course of action in the PHILIPPINES.
| the leaders of the so-called anti-expan-
sion policy should endeavor to acquire
an elementary knowledge, at least, of
the character of the people who are at
| tempting, by a species of guerrilla war
fare, to prevent the exercise of the
lawful authority of the United States
IN those islands. To men of the Bryan
stripe, who improve every opportunity
to oppose the. Government from purely
partisan motives, no appeal to reason.

None are so blind as those who re-

their views and influence in respect to

weight with thoughtful, unbiased peo-
pie. To this class of men we appeal
for an intelligent consideration of the
case in question upon its merits.
