PROSPERITY IN CALIFORNIA.

| We take the liberty of publishing the
following extract from letter recent
ly received from our friend, Leon Z.
Beals, at one time editor of the INDEX
and later county attorney of this coun-
ty. He and his family now reside at
Oxnard, California. where he is engag-
ed in the mercantile business:
I'VE have been doing very we'll in
our California home, though not so
well as we would have done had We
staid in Kansas. 1 can testify from
California that the prosperity we read
about in the newspapers, tor the TOOr
man, is myth. The grinding power
of trusts is keenly felt. Here under
the shadow of the largest sugar factory
in the United States, we pay more for
sugar than you do. The glories of a
protective tariff are finely demonstrate
ed. Here is factory owned mostly by
Englishmen. The profits go mostly to
Englishmen. 1t is protected, therefore
wages must be good. But if am an
expert, and seek job, 1 find myself in
competition with imported Germans
and Frenchmen. If seek common la
Dor, find myself in competition with
Mexicans, Japs and Chinese. If 1 at
tempt to raise beets for the factory. l
find my prices beat down by the factory
farms hiring the cheapest kind of drift
labor, and putting gauge on prices.
When eat sugar, pay trust prices.
In short, Englishmen invest in Ameri-
ca, employ foreigners to beat down
American wages, take advantage Of
American trust prices in a trust pro-
tected market and use the money 10
pay taxes to English cruelty In crush
ing the Beers and starving her Indian
subjects. And the glorious American
fool votes for it and shouts God Save
The Queen' But I've written too much;
I'll get into politics if don't quit"

My Dear Comrades:-I am sure your
hearts have gone out in than ksgiylng
and praise TO Him who holds the hearts
OF all men In His hands, at the signal
victory just gained i'll the successful
passage OF the anti-canteen amendment
IN the Z. s. senate
You will remember how the Little
held amendment passed the House while
We were in convention at Washington.
and OF your rejoicing; Of the hearing"
before the senate committee on militia
~ affairs, to whom the amendment had
been referred, and of the room being
crowded full with our women. A few
days later 1t was announced by the
chairman of the committee, Senator
HaWley, that no further testimony
would be received by them; notwith-
standing this, AdJutant General Corbin
brought Archbishop Ireland and Bish-
0p McGoldrick. before the committee
to testify in favor of the canteen with
beer.
The report of the committee to the
committee to the senate, concerning
section 40 of the army reorganization
bill 1.-THE anti -canteen sectiOn), was
unanimously in favor of retaining beer
in the canteen with one notable excep
ton, Senator BurrOws). The army bill
was discussed in the senate two days
before section 40 was reached. Janu-
airy 8, Senator Galllnger opened the
discussion, by a most excellent and
elaborate address, quoting from the
latest testimonies of medical experts
concerning the action of beer on the
BODY, and as the senator is a physician
he could speak with authority. 1t was
gratifying at the close of the senator's
speech to see the temperance physiolo-
gies pass from hand to hand, and the
contents scanned with seeming interest.
Senator Sewell followed, advocating
beer. Among other things he made the
following declaration: Upon enlist
ment the American soldier does not
want and ought not to be condemned to
q refOrmatory. In my opinion you can
not recruit the army if you pass this
provision as it came to us, advocated
by great many good men and women.
A young American will not volunteer
if he is going, as Isay. to reformatOry
institution" Senators Hawley and
Money followed in the same strain; the
latter opened his address by saying he
had ''never beer addicted TO the nse of
liquors Of any kind. nor tobacco" and
yet he made q lengthy speech contend
ing that liquor be furnished the soldie~.

the day in an able and comprehensive
speech against the government contin-
uing In the liquor business.
The day following all the speeches
we're on our side, and at four o'clock
the vote was taken. Our hearts almost
stood still when the vote was announc-
ed "a in favor and Is against. We could

STANLEY IS CHILDISH.

About the smallest trick that a man
in big place could play, is cited
Gov. Stanley's llttleness in the matter
of appointing the new school book COM
mission. The governor has the power
to appoint this commission but the very
intent of the law is that be should fol-
low the recommendation of the state
superintendent who is eX- officlo chair
man of the Board. But Gov. Stanley
has refused to follow Supr. Nelson 8
will do is to appoint eight men out of
fifteen submitted by Prof Nelson.
Before Stanley displayed his childish
ness in this respect, Prof. E.A Shepard
son, of this city, had what is popularity
known as "cinch" on a membership
on the board but now it is not so GER
tain though not by any means hopeless.
Prof. Shepardson is Mr.. Nelson's first
choice. His name heads the list of
those whom the state superintendent
has in mind, but On account CT the
governors contrariness it IS expected
that he Will appoint the last eight that
Prof. Nelson recommends. The APP
pointments Will be made before the
first day of April.
Prof. ShepardsOn'S candidacy is the
result of the Part he took in defeating
the trust text book bill which came
near carrying at the recent session of
the legislature. He wrote great many
letters urging representatives to retain
state uniformity as we'll as the maxi
mum price feature, and but for one lit
tie incident the trust measure would
have passed in spite of all that was
done by it's opponents. After the bill had
passed the senate and near the time the
vote was to have been taken in the
house, Prof. Shepardson received tel
egram from G.. G.. Burton, who until
recently was agent for the American
Book Company, to wire Representa-
tive Millar and Senator Noitzger to
support the new text book law. But
instead OF wiring as directed, Prof
Shepardson quietly enclosed the mes
sage TO State Supt. Nelson who in turn
submitted it to the house which had
the effect of turning the tide against
the bill and it was defeated. This
leaves the old text book law in force
and to Prof. Shepardson is due most of
the honor for the victory. We would
like to see our townsman appointed.
Upon this commission depends the kind
of books to be used and with educators
like Prof. Shepardson on the Board the
work would be in safe hands.

According to its own logic
the New York Post has be-
come a convert to Populism.
For nearly FIVE years it has
accused the democrats of be-
ing Populists because the
Chicago platform declared for
certain reforms already advo-
Gated by the Populists. Now
that the Post has come out
for election of senators by
the people-a reform demand
ed in the democratic platform
OF 1895 but suggested in pre-.
vious Populist platforms-it
ought to be consistent and
call itself a Populist paper.
If, however, it insists that it
has a right to endorse a good
policy no natter what party
proposes it, it ought with.
draw it's criticism of the dem.
ocrats who are advocating
measures entirely in line with
democratic precepts and prac-
tices. but first specifically de-
handed in a Populist plat
form. -Bryan's CoInmoner.
