After the gun went off it was hard to tell which of the two men was most badly scared. but Jim says the way that rosette went to pieces was a caution.

Protection.

The protection of infant industries by the tariff laws of the United States has done much good, and may yet do much good but when it comes to pro- tecting industries that are so strongly intrenched that they may defy the markets of the world then the limit has been reached and protection should be withdrawn. The Pomona Progress talks sensibly on this sub- ject. It says:
 The Republican party is going to have a hard time in the future Tn proving to the taX-paying and consum- ing public that the gigantic, world conuuering trusts are infant indus tries that need to be nursed on the bottle of protection. The protective tariff has had a useful mission and has accomplished a most beneflcent work in the history of this nation; but that mission has surely ended so far as regards those industries that are so firmly established, so thorough ly organized and so strong that they can defy the competition of all na- tions in the markets of the world. AS well send a nurse-girl along 10 guard Jeffries or Fitzsimmons when he goes out for a walk, as to protect Wlth tariff industries that are so strong.

No Panic at Present.

The Fresno Republican argues that there is no panic due in the immedi- ate future or at all as considered from the theory that panics do appear regularly once in from IF to 20 years.
 There is no panic due for several years yet It is fact, however, that during the first century there were panics in the years 1919, 1887, 1857, 1873 and 1895. How is that for regu- larity? The causes that produced those panics are still at work and will produce similar results in the future. From the dates above given, the peo- pie should be prepared for the next panic in 1910 to 1912-this will give a period of from 17 to 19 years from the last panic.
 The business condition of Southern California is very rapidly approach ing the condition of affairs in 1SS6 and it will not be surprising at all if the experiences of 1S86-7 are repeated again in 19O3-4. In that event, col lapse of the local financial conditions may be expected during or following the next Presidential campaign. But this will be local in character and will not be connected with or have anything to do with the general world wide panic due in 1910-12 any more than the collapse of the boom of 1887 was connected with the panic that took nlace in 1S92-3. l..

When the Nation is ready to spend as much money digging ditches in the West, as it has spent digging graves in the Philippines, the con- quest of arid America will have begun in earnest.-William D. Smythe in Out West.
 That MT. Smythe is an earnest ad- vocate of the objects which the Cali fornia Water and Forest Association was organized to champion the Ap- peal does not doubt, but it must say that his zeal frequently gets the bet ter of his judgment. The Water and Forest Association is a non-partisan organization and the Appeal does not believe that the off cers thereof approve of MT. Smythe's efforts to use it for political purposes. -Marysville Appeal.
 Unfortunately for the above com ments MT. Smythe is not in the en- ploy of the Water and Forest Associ ation and is not therefore responsible to that organization for what he may say. Criticism of his sayings is ir order, probably, but not from that standpoint.

The Imperial Hay Crop.

The stacks of hay and the yield per acre in the Imperial Settlements thls season remind one of the hay crop that Abraham Lincoln once raised, as given in the following story:
 In the summer of 1857 MT. Lincoln was sitting in his office, when he was visited by one of his neighbors, an excellent farmer, but one inclined to increase the size of his crops, even after harvesting He had given, on this particular morning a skillfully padded account of the hay he had put in.
 "I've been cutting hay, too," re- marked MT. Lincoln.
 "Why, Abe, are you farming?"
 "Yes."
 What you raise?"
 "Just hay"
 Good crop this year?"
 Excellent"
 "How many tons?"
 "Well, don't know just how many tons, Simpson, but my men stacked all they could outdoors, and then stored the rest in the barn."

The CHAMPION ANANIAS of the WORLD

from coming here to locate. If it was good for the correspondent to come to California, it may be good and best for others to come from the same To- cality. If it was not best for the cor respondent to come to California, he had better leave this country for the country's good and go way back to more congenial surroundings and sit down.
 This correspondent has written fourteen letters to the St. Thomas Daily Times up to July 9th, since his arrival in California last March. Each letter contains three or four columns of matter. The ones that we nave read-the first four or five written al- ter his arrival-are all of the same kind of vilification and misrepresent- alton. A sentence or paragraph can be clipped out at almost any point 1n any of the letters and the same un- friendly class of misstatements will be found. A man being in the coun- try from one to three months, living in an obscure village, where rents are cheap, having no opportunity to see the country, except in his daily walk to and from the depot, which IS necessarily through the most unde- sirable portion of the city, is hardly competent to pass judgment on the State at large or even on the most beautiful city in America. He sees nothing good in anything. The flowers are profuse but odorless; the fruits are plenty but have no flavor; the peo- pie are lazy and shiftless. It is pitiable to see man waste his energies in such a way. As result of his work few are kept away from this coun- try who would otherwise come, but the masses come all the same, and are contented and happy.
 One of these days some of these men in the East who have been de- tered from coming to California by the writings of this modern Ananias will come out here and see what op- portunities they have lost by follow ing a blind leader and then you will see this correspondent handled in a way that will make him feel as though this reference to his letters was very complim entary.

world. He is a newspaper correspond- ent and has been writing letters reg ularly to his home paper in Canada the St. Thomas Daily Times, over the cognomen of "Onlooker." These letters appear to be written at so much per column and arc Intended to attract the reader and thus secure a market for his productions, regard less of the statements contained therein. The greater the lie-bel, the better it seems to please him.
 These letters are written evidently from his home in Alhambra during evenings and Sundays, as he is em- ployed during the day as proofread- CT in the Los Angeles Times Job Ot- flee during the week.
 The writer of this sketch has had nearly thirty years of experience Ill Southern California, and much of the time has been devoted to advertising the resources of this section of the State, and therefore he has come In contact with many letters Of Dill ous character written by dyspeptic people to the eastern press, for pure fun or cussedness, regarding this State; but this last series of letters, in the St. Thomas Daily Times cer- tainly carries off first prize for vllll- lying and mispresenting this coun- try.
 In order that the reader may fairly judge as to the correctness of this statement, we publish herewith ex- tracts, with comments thereon.
 The correspondent says in one or his letters, that enthusiastic Cal1for- nians boasted to him that "It never rains from January to October"
 No one that was entitled to a resi- dence outside of a lunatic asylum ever made such statement, ana anyone that would pay any attention to such a statement should be care fully deposited in an institution Tor the care of feeble minded children. The rainy season lasts from October to June,-January being one Of the rainiest months and everybody here possessed of a modicum of brains knows it.
 Another eXtract,-"I believe, and have been told Gin confidence) by or ange growers here, that it will be only matter of time till orange cul ture in this State will cease to be profitable, because of the growing frequency and intensity of the frosts''
 More nonsense. There are locall ties here where damaging frosts dc not and never have occurred. Ihese are on the slopes of the valley III from the bottom of the valley neX to the mountains. Years ago oranges were planted everywhere and in col' locations much damage has been don' by frost, but these localities are beini deserted by orange growers, ana th land there is being used for othe purposes. Hence each year sees les damage done by frost to the orang crop. because the bulk of that cro is now raised on the uplands wher frosts rarely, if ever, occur And SUI more oranges are grown here nov than ever before, as statistics wi show.
