Governor Roosevelt, in an essay in
the Century Magazine" treats Of fell
low-feeling as a political factor In the
course Of the paper he uses words which
are SO we'll put and are SO charged
with sound sense that we quote in full.
since no comment could add value to
them, and no other expression than
that of the author convey the thought
so we'll. Said the Governor:
Fellow-feeling, sympathy in the
broadcast sense, is the most important
factor in producing a. healthy political
and social life. Neither our national nor
our local civic life can be what it should
be unless 1t is marked by the fellow
feeling, the mutual kindness, the mu-
tual respect, the sense Of common
duties and common interests, which
understand one another, and to asso-
ciate together for a common object. a
very large share of the rancour of
political and social strife arises either
from sheer misunderstanding by one
section, or by one class, of another, or
else from the fact that the two Sec
tons, or two classes are so cut Oft
from each other that neither appreci-
ates the others passions, prejudices,
and. indeed, point of view, while they
are both entirely ignorant of their COM
munity Of feeling as regards the essen
tails of manhood and humanity.

THE UNIVERSITY.

President Wheeler in one of his ad-
dresses in this city the other day stat
ed that despite all the talk about the
cost of maintenance Of the University
of California, the State expends but
$3.50 there for the educational training
of student, whereas In New York it
costs as high as $500. He thought
that $500 was about the right figure to
expend for the purpose, and that it is
the best expenditure the people can
make for higher education.
A thing of interest, noted In his
travel about the State, Is that the peo-
pie here are not, as Is unhappily true
In many Eastern States, insisting upon
a poor class level Of education for the
children Of the poor. They are not
dragging educational means down to
the poverty level, but on the contrary
are demanding for the poorest the very
best. and hence the educational levels
in California are placed high, and
means are afforded for reaching them
by the humblest.
That the University Of California is
not equipped equal to the demands
now made upon 1t, he insisted. So
much is 1t crippled indeed, said the
new President, that every copper
has to be scrutinized, and the way of
its going carefully guarded to get the
most service out of it that is possible.

There is evidently no sentimental
twaddle among the Manitobans about
hanging women when they deserve It;
no such sickly fear about it as af-
hicts some other communities. They
hanged Emma Blake, aged %, at Bran
don, Manitoba on the 9th, for MUIR
der. She wen deserved the hemp. 1t
seems that she confessed, without be-
Ing cornered by the truth, that she
murdered Mrs. Lane, whose servant
she was. because she loved the chill
dren OF her mistress. and was Jealous
Of Mrs. Lanes affection for her own
offspring. If a woman becomes a muir
deresss and there are no extenuating
circumstances, she should receive pre-
cisely the same punishment that is
melted out to men. But g. very decided
sentiment against hanging a woman,
no matter what her offense. is growing
up in this country, and it is not to the
credit Of our gallantry or good sense
that it is augmenting.

The Mint Director, whose extended
which was printed in Wednesday,
Record Union" is surely sound. He
is right when he says that no matter
how plentiful money is made in the
market, in an era of unwise speculation
and imitation and the floating of count
less stocks of doubtful enterprise, the
panicky condition would not be less
likely to come on because of plenitude
of money. Indeed, the more money
there is to be had when sensational
stock speculation is on, the worse for
every one, for specializing will simply
be stimulated by the plenitude of cash.
Let the gamblers in stocks swamp each
other If they will, the production of
the country is just the same; the crops
ripen and are harvested just the same.
The panicky feeling will naturally be
felt in outside enterprises somewhat,
dustrial panic in a season of prosperity
that will retard legitimate industries.
That monetary stringency of a tenn
porary character will result from stock
exchange panics is certainly true. But,
as Director Roberts we'll says, it is not
legitimate business that causes the in
fiation Of credits, multiplies the bank
reserves required and thus absorbs any
possible money stock, but speculation
greed will do it" No possible amount
of money put out will satisfy that
greed

appellant. Grand larceny. Affirmed.
1t is Of the essence of the crime OF
larceny that the title to the property
alleged to have been stolen shall no,
have been parted with. If one is in
duced by fraud or deceit to part with
the title to personal property, the law
recognizes such a crime as the obtain
ing OF goods by false pretenses. It is
not larceny. But, where possession
merely has been parted with, or where
some special property in the goods, as
by the way Of pledge or security, is
transferred, If such special property
and transfer be fraudulently secured
with the present of felonious intent to
convert the property so acquired, the
onense is recognized as larceny.
See People VS.. Tomlinson, 1OH Cal. -.
The mere fact that under the peculiar
circumstances of the case the crime.
While shown to be larceny, might have
been punished under another provision
of the Penal Code, did not make it OBJ

the other. See People vs. Feigerio, lot

CELEBRATING THE NEW YEARS
ADVENT.

Unhapplly Tor themselves as Wei as
for the community, there exists among
certain ranks OF men, mainly young
men, the fantastic idea that there is
real fun" and a degree Of humor In
despofling the property of people on
the birth of new year. These go
about. Of recent years-it is, to the
credit OF old times, a recent practice

them to some distance, disfgurine
fences with daubs of black and red
paint. removing lawn ornaments,
breaking down trees and shrubbery
jerking off bell pulls. rousing house
holds from rest, and not infrequently
going SO far as to steal ualuables and
to do serious damage to residence
fronts.
Just where the fun" comes in In such
procedure no one except these hood
luIns have ever been able to discover.
As to the humor of the thing, we can
understand 1t to be Of the order JUS
tifying an indignant householder using
a gun loaded with small bird shot. No
sane person can draw a line between
mischief done in fun that damages
the property Of another and mischief
done in malice, SO far as footing the
bill of cost Is concerned. Nor in the
law Will the fun" plea avail Those
who engage in these coarse and inde-
cent methods Of celebrating the birth
OF a new year are as guilty in the eye
OF the law Of offense, as If they worked
the damage out of revenge.
The law does not justify one in prey
ing upon his neighbor Gin fun" 1t is
to be hoped that the warning of the
police authorities will be needed, and
that the vigilance of officers and citi.
zens, operating conformity, will be such
on Sunday night and Monday morning
as to stamp out the practice referred
to SO far as Sacramento is concerned.
That there should be ringing of
church bells, and some loudly Jolly
exchange Of New Year greetings at the
midnight hour Is expected. Super
abundance Of animal spirits on such
occasions may find relief in that man
ner without particular offense But

else the privilege of noise is made man

pens to be the first of the new year.

"Examiner' and Extra Session.

e~>.~.
(From the San Jose Herald.)
If the Republicans of California wish
to be fully informed as to their duty
and the interests of their party in the
matter of the extra session, let them
read the Examiner" and, while doing
so, remember the source from which its
inspiration springs.
There can be no question that the
Democratic party of this State does not
desire an extra session called. This
opposition is not based upon the expeh-
siveness Of such a session and could not
be SO with any consistency, since that
party set the precedent for extra ses-
sions having for their real object the
selection of a Senator. The only real
reason why the Democrats oppose an
extra session now is that they hope to
profit by the Republican failure to fill
the Senatorial seat, and expect to Sc
cure a Democratic Legislature III the
next election. This wouio give the Sen
ator to them and that Senator would
probably be James D. Phelan.
Hence the Examiner" fury against
every person and every newspaper IA
voring an extra session of the Legisla-
ture. Hence the forgetfulness of its
editor of Democratic precedent in the
matter Of making Senators at such a
session. Hence it's belching Of mud bat
teries against the Governor and his
friends and against every legislator who
favors the idea of an extra session, and
against every leading man whose name
is mentioned for the position in the
event of the session being called.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that the
Republicans Of California will neither
be deceived nor frightened by the flu
rious noise and foul assault of this
yellow demagogue among newspapers,
but that they will find in it's frenzied
opposition the best of reasons why an
extra session ought to be convened.

CONNECTIONS FOR SOLDIERS.

MOSt people Will De surprised 10 leafA
that the United States has added candy
to the ration of the soldier. This is no.
because it is considered as a luxury,
and therefore as a sort of treat to the
soldier, but because experience has
demonstrated that as an army ration
it serves very useful purpose, and Is
wholesome and generally beneficial II
taken in proper quantities and not too
freely. One New York firm during the
past year has shipped over sixty tons of
candy to the armies in service in Cuba,
Puerto Rico and the Philippines, and
other contracts of equal size have been
or are being filed from other cities for
the like purpose The Government is
very particular that the candy shall be
of good quality, and it secures that

80 cents a pound It consists mainly

coanut macaroons and calculated fruit
drops.
The use of candy as an addition to
the army ration originals some ten
years ago with the German Govern
ment, after experiments on the diet Of
troops. One of these experiments was
to divide an average regiment into
squads, then to feed each squad differ
emily. Thus the effects of exclusive
meat diet, vegetable and cereal diets,
and of combinations of these were
studied Through this and other means
demonstration was made of the fact
that the addition Of candy and choc-
olate for discreet use greatly improved
the health and endurance powers OF
the men. Since that time the German
Government has issued cakes Of choc-
olate and liberal amount of mixed
candies to it's soldiers.
Only recently, it will be remembered,
the Queen of England forwarded to the
English troops in South Africa 5OO,-
600 pounds of chocolate tablets in half
pound packages. This was done not
as a special favor, but as dietary
measure, and proved not the senti-
mentality, but the practical good sense
Of the Queen, who probably had the
advice Of her physicians upon the sub
ject, and knew likewise Of the practice
in the German army.
Manufacturers of American jams and
jellies are now considering the ques-
ton Of asking the Government to in
troduce occasionally such food sweets
into the army ration. Jams have long
been in use In the British ration. and
only lately the English Government
sent to the army in South Africa
1,450,00O pounds of jams to meet a
demand for four months supply for
10000 soldiers

Another objection would be that one
could not find ones way in the dark,

Mr.. Alexander Winton says he almost

Going through the Mohawk valley the
carriage was at times compelled to
cross bridges which were just wide
enough to allow it a passage, while the
clumps of dirt in the road, larger than

-~HE court of cessation on Satur-
day rendered what was a for
gone conclusion--a verdict in
favor of revising the Dreyfus case.
Dreyfus will be tried by a court mar
tial, which is instructed to find an an
swer to the question rs Dreyfus guilty
of having in 1894 practiced machna-
lions or having communication with a
foreign power or its agent with the
view of facilitating acts of hostilities in
the case of war with France, or having
furnished the means therefor by fur
nshing notes or documents retraced on
the bordereau?" 1t is told that the
audience greeted the decision with cries
of "Vive la Justice proceeding finely
illustrative of the volatility of the
French character. 1t was only a few
months ago that the French populace
was as bitter towards Dreyfus as it
now is friendly.
The court will be mere mat
ter of form. The court of cessation
agreed that Dreyfus had been improp-
erly convicted. The official prosecutor
strenuously maintained that all the
evidence indicates his complete inno-
cence Of the crime for which he was
condemned. Summed up, the conclus-
ion is that there is no evidence what
ever duplicating Dreyfus; that of the
three documents by which it was
sought to justify the condemnation of
the accused officer two were forgeries
and the third did not apply to Drey-
fus, and that the discriminating Dor
dereau was not written by Dreyfus but
by Count Esterhazy, who was one Of
the principal witnesses against him.
During the anti-Dreyfus excitement
Esterhazy was tried and acquitted of
the forgeries, so that unfortunately he
cannot be tried again. If he could be,
he would very likely take Dreyfus'
place on DEVILS Island

liberate murder of Filipino prisoners by
Americans have been received in this
country, but they have been promptly
set down as incredible. After the
atrocity committed by General Smith,
one can believe anything. If his cold
blooded murder of "a number of MEM
bers of bands of insurgents whom he
found in the neighborhood" is civilized
warfare, then there is no such thing as
civilized warfare. General Smith might
as well have gone the extreme and
adopted the Filipino. tactics of mutilat-
ing the dead. Or IL to terrorize the ma
tives was his object, he might have
burned a number of them at the stake

The American people, particularly we
Montanans, would Iike7to see the MUIR

derers, he would have been commended
for giving them short shrift. But he
didn't know who the murderers were
and so he kills number of people, ap-
parently in the hope. that the guilty
ones are among them. No battle was
in progress, mind you, there is nothing
in the dispatch to indicate that any re-
sistance was being offered-Smith SIM
ply found a number of insurgents in
the neighborhood and killed them off
