ever has been interpreted as a sort
If neutral ground. The old law was
and the new law was not in
force, so it was assumed that di-
vorced parties could remarry wher-
ever and whenever they pleased
within the sixty days. A rushing
business was done in most of the
counties. Now the courts have
spread CONSERVATION in the camp of
the speedy marriages by declaring
that the old law was operative dur
ing the interval This means that
those who have been divorced and
remarked in California are not
legally married. And they cannot
now be married according to law
until the lapse of full year from
the granting of the divorce.
On the other hand other eminent
law expounders contend that these
marriages are not contrary to law.
And so things are pretty thoroughly
muddled. Judges and lawyers are
at loggerheads on such a vital sub
ject as marriage. And it all comes
of the spirit of monkeying with the
laws concerning questions which
should remain fixed and stable,
which seems to be a con trolling fac
tor with the law-making body.

The question whether the new law
providing salary for justices and
constables is applicable to present
incumbents, is now before the court
for settlement. The issue is clean
cut on the merits of the case. James
McCauley, a justice of the peace
elected in lone, brings suit for
salary according to the provisions
of the new law. 1t is likely, which
ever way the matter is decided, that
the case will be appealed to the su-
for final Lcattlonannt
At any rate it is sincerely to be
hoped that it will reach the highest
tribunal.

death was a resident of AmadOr coun-
ty. He left community property valued
at S400, consisting of 160 acres in Sec

J. J. Excl VS.. w. Phillips and A. l..
Walton appeal from Justices court
of township five. Plaintiff sued for the
sum of $299. 80 for damages The COM
plant alleges that defendants, on the
evening of November %, 1902, at the
Adams hotel in Plymouth, did by force
and violence lay hands upon plaintiff,
and took him to building in the rear
of the Central hotel, known as the old
bell tower, distance of 100 yards from
the Adams hotel, very improper
building in which to place person,
and detained said defendant there the
entire night, exposed to cold and dark
ness, without any comforts in the way
of fire, clothing or bedding, without
authority of law. On plaintiffs motion
for change of venue the case was trans
ferred to the justice court of township
four and tried before jury on March
81. 1t was shown at the trial that
plaintiff at time of arrest was walking
up and down the floor with pistol in
hand, under the influence of liquor;
that he drew gun on Arthur Prit-
chard and shot at him. The jury re-
turned verdict in favor of defendant.
Plaintiff appeals the case to superior
court. The cost bill of defendants
amounts to $3.50.

The board of supervisors have let
contract to put new roof on the
court house, the material decided
upon being tin. The present roof is
of shingles. 1t is in fair state of
preservation to-day, barring one or
two spots. 1t has done service for
seven or eight years. The water
proof character of wood roof,
properly laid, is conceded; the only
drawback being the danger from
fire-a danger from which a public
building should be safeguarded as
far as possible in the nature of it's
roofing material. Those who have
had experience with tin roofs in this
climate - where the temperature
varies during summer months as
much as 80 degrees in "a hours-are
not enthused on the subject. The
contraction and expansion of the
metal has proved source of con-
stant' annoyance from leaks. The
strong tendency is to turn to some
other fire proof material in prefer
ence. 1t is hoped the county will
meet with better success in this line
than has attended the efforts of

MUST BE PUBLIC.

Section 4O35 of the political code,
referring to the board of supervisors,
says:
"All meetings of the board must be
public. -
How strangely at variance is this
command with the practice of going
into executive" session, which is
getting so common in this county as
to be looked upon as a feature of
every monthly meeting of the board.
At the meeting of the board held
this week, another of these secret
sessions was held. The people of
Amador county, whose servants the
supervisors are, would like to know
what business affecting their inter
ests requires transaction, or even
discussion, with closed doors. And
in face of the above mandatory pro-
vision, what right has the board, as
such, to hold any meeting without
the hearing OF the public, and with
out even the presence of the clerk
or any other official. When one of
these executive" conclaves is called,
not only the spectators, but the
clerk and the district attorney, and
all other county officials are expect
ed to clear out of the assembly room
at the same time. The supervisors
want to be left alone with them
selves The idea is not only in con-
fiict with legal requirements; it is
absurd upon its face. Think of it?
The people of Amador county have
business of such delicate nature to
transact that they don't want to re-
veal the nature of it even to them
selves. That is the logical con-
clusion to be drawn from these So
called executive" sessions. And
we have no hesitation in saying that
------------ - ~ss-
out dissenting voice, will revolt
against the idea of being placed in
such light.

NO FREE ADVERTISING.

In future, the publishers of this paper
will not insert any article, item or
notice, which in any manner will serve
as an advertisement, without charging
therefor in accordance with the ad-
vertising rates, (within its classifica-
tion), as are established by this paper.
Angels Echo.
The Ledger extends the glad hand
to the Echo for the decisive stand it
has taken on this proposition. 1t is
the only straightforward and honor
able course for a publisher to follow.
If any person has anything that he
wants published in the local paper
that is intended to be of pecuniary
benefit to him, he should be willing
to pay fair price for the publishers
services. If he is not willing to pay
for the service, the publisher should
have the stamina to refuse to do it
for glory. 1t behooves every coun-
try publisher, from strictly business
considerations, and in defense of the
dignity of his calling, to adopt the
above rule. But we regret to say
that all newspaper men do not take
the same common sense view of the
matter. And while our Calaveras
county contemporary is taking firm
ground toward the emancipation of
the profession from crying evil, a
brother editor in Amador county is,
and has been for years past, flying
the following dishonorable proclama-
tion at the head of his columns:
The Dispatch desires to publish all
announcements of sOcials, festivals, etc.,
that are going on. All such notices OF
entertainments will be published one
insertion free, as matter of news.
What contrast. The Angels
paper is striving to elevate the busi-
ness, the Amador paper to degrade
and destroy it.

The superior judges of San Fran
cisco have given an opinion that is
likely to have a disquieting effect
upon those who have been divorced
and married within the last sixty
days. This time covers the period
between the passage of the new law
relating to divorces and its going
into effect. May l is the date of its
becoming operative. 1t was intend
ed to do away with the so-called Reno
marriages; that is the practice
which has grown to be so common of
persons, in order to evade the pro-
vision of the California law reouir-
ing period of one year to elapse
between divorce and remarriage, of
having the marriage ceremony per-
formed in Reno Immediately follow
ing the granting of a divorce in Cal
ifornia. The present law seeks to
avoid this by providing that a de-
cree of divorce shall not become
absolute until after the lapse of one
year from the granting of such de-
cree. The sixty days interval how
