PROBLEMS FOR The PUBLIC.

N RESIDENT MACCABE of the National Edi-
- torial Association, in delivering the opening
address at the, convention in Portland set forth
two important problems for the consideration OF the
association The first is the desrability Of bringing
about an equitable adjustment OF laws affecting
journalism throughout the Union, and the second
that OF rdding the public from the nuisance Of lille
gitimate advertising. Each of these problems is a
serious one, and it is certainly time solution should
be undertaken.
The laws affecting newspapers are not only conflict
ing in different States but many States so unfair
as to be virtually unfit for enforcement We have in
this State two instances OF such laws enacted at the
last session OF the Legisature-one known as the
anti-cartoon act and the other as the signature act
neither OF which has thus far served any other pur
pose than that Of showing how much like wild rams
some legislators can be- and how much like stray
sheep a Governor be who follows the lead OF
such
Laws of such nature varying with the freaks of
different State Legislatures while seemingly harmless
so long they unenforced none the less consti-
tute heavy handicap upon the smaller newspapers
OF the community. Journals sufficiently rich and
powerful to be able to fight libel suits or other suits
brought for spite coin afford to ignore most
OF the vicious laws, but upon the country press that
serves as the guard and the champion of the common
rights Of that great mass OF the American people
living IN comparatively small communities such laws
are serious intererences with the performance OF the
tu duty OF an independent editor 1t is for the gen
eral good, therefore, that such should be re
peaed and just laws enacted in their place
The evils of illegtmate Advertising to which
President MacCabe referred, becoming more por-
tentous every day. In New York where large cor
poratons chartered for other purposes have engaged
extensively in advertising, fight has been already
begun to protect the public from their exactions
Among the corporations which are the most con-
spicuous offenders in that way are railroads. None
of them chartered to do an advertising business
and yet all OF them are more or less engaged in it
Neither of these problems will be easy to solve
The evil in each case springs from what seems a
natural depravity Who can set limit to the fo11v
OF legislators? Who can fix bounds to the erasninq
OF corporations greedy for legitimate gains? Diff
cult, however the problems and the evils are il
is worth while to grapple with them. IF the editors
now in convention devise any well-considered
to remedy the wrong the public will cordially,
support it.

CALIFORNIA BUILDING MATERIAL

\ = little qualification has been felt the an
II nouncement from Washington that the Govern
ment, in awarding the contract for the stone
work OF the new postofice building, has stipulated
that the material used shall be Raymond granite. We
thus saved from the absurdty at one time threat
ened, of having brought from the East for the
construction OF public building in California.
1t appears that considerable efforts required
induce the Treasury officials to make the stipulation
III favor OF Californian material 1t may have been
that the suggestion of the of Eastern stone was
due to desire to throw the patronage of the depart
ment to certain firms in the East but it is more likely
to have arisen from belief that California lacked
stone suitable for the purpose No amount of ignor-
ance OF the of this State OF the Pacific
Coast generally need surprise the part Of the
officials at Washington Time and again our inter
ests have been sacrificed under circumstances which
force the conclusion that the sacrifice was made
through sheer lack of knowledge of the interests at
stake
The whole course OF the history of the postofice
building shows how Indifferent Washington is to
California At every step in the proceedings there
has been a fight, and we have obtained the new edi-
flee not much by grant from the Government as
by contest 1t is true that for the delay in beginning
the work the Government not wholly to blame
nasmuch as strong opposition to the site selected
was developed here, and warnings sent to Wash
ngton that the site unsafe Even after that fac
tious fight was ended, however the delay continued
and it was not until earnest and repeated petitions
were made behalf of the people that the work of
construction began.
At last everything seems to be moving in salts
factory way. 1t is indeed to be regretted that the
contract for the stone work was not awarded to
California firm, but that is a minor matter The
stipulation for the Of stone from our quarries
means not only that much Of patronage piven tO
local industry but shows that Washington has learned
that California possesses something besides gold
mines and orchards. The building will serve as
an advertisement OF the value OF quarries and it
may be that shall ere long be called upon to ship
granite to the East.

been incubus upon Berkeley is no secret.

instead of being solid the top of the
cone is cut off, making an opening in
the trap The top of the trap has over
it a metal cap on hinge. The cap is
perforated with number of holes to
permit Of the circulation Of water
