COMPULSORY SCHOOL ATTEND
ANCE.

Parents may not be aware that by
a law passed by the last legislature
the attendance of children between
the ages of 8 and IA upon the public
school is made compulsory. Every
child is required to attend for at
least five months during the year,
and at least eighteen weeks of the
attendance must be consecutive.
Any parent or guardian failing to
comply with this law is guilty of a
misdemeanor. For the first offense
the penalty is not to exceed SO fine
or Imprisonment not exceeding five
days. A subsequent offense is pun
ishable by fine not less than SO
nor more than $50, or imprisonment
not less than five nor more than 25
days, or both. 1t is the province of
constables in their respective town
ships to see that this law is complied
with. The percentage of children
failing to take advantage of the
liberal education provided by the
state is large. Our free school sys-
tem-the most liberal and thorough
vouchsafed by any government-is
not appreciated as it should be. 1t
is to correct the growing evil of
non-attendance that this stringent
law was passed.

STILL CARPING.

Our cotemporarleS continue TO DE
flooded with a lot of stuff anert the
appeal of the Justices salary case to
the supreme court. The shades of
Caesar and Alexander have been
appealed to in the frenzied effort to
stay further proceedings We pre-
sumo before the sluices are finally
exhausted, the rest of the worthless
-of ancient history will be called upon
to interpose in this high behalf. If
the same tactics which have been
resorted to in this salary matter had
been tried in any other litigation,
they would have called down upon
the would be obstructionists the con-
demnation of an outraged public.
The amazing part of it is, the JUS
tices and constables are held up by
our contemporaries and editors pro
tenn as martyrs. The supervisors
will not pay them their fee bills, and
the auditor will not pay them sal
aries, until he is satisfied by the de-
cision of the highest judicial tribunal
that he is justified in so doing.
Even if this were true-which it is
not, as the offer has been made to
allow them their fees on account,
and the offer refused-they have
themselves to blame for the plight
in which they are placed. We're they
not in high glee when the salary bill
was before the legislature? We're
they not hand in glove working for
its passage? 1t was common talk at
that time that its constitution ality
was matter of serious doubt if the
present incumbents were made the
benefciaries of the measures. But
Notwithstanding this, they were
more than anxious to line up under
its questionable provisions. Were
there not at the time it was before
the lawmakers, petitions circulated
with the view of booming it into
popularity, even in spite of its ap-
parently contraband character.
Were not articles published at that
time by its supporters urging that
the law be left in the hands of the
supervisors, and not be taken to
the courts for Interpretation? The
methods that have been following
since the mandamus proceedings
were started have been on par with
these initiatory steps. Everything
had been done to create an i'm
preston that it is an act bordering
on treason to think of taking the
case to the supreme court. To such
an extreme has the appeal been
fought, that widespread suspicion
is creeping over the public mind of
wheels working within wheels in this
program of hindrance. Blunder has
succeeded blunder; folly piled on
folly to close up the pathway of ap-
peal. But all in vain. The Alex
ander has not grown so great as to
be able to dictate absolutely the
policy of Amador county in such
matters. The weakness and vas
cillating course of the no-appeal side,
is in striking contrast with the firm
and resolute stand of those whose
business it is to do what they can to
protect the public interests. In the
face of great deal that calls for
censure; in the presence of abuse
alike uncalled for and unmerited,
the one redeeming feature of this
comedy of errors is the fact that the
district attorney and county auditor
remain immovable as rock in place,
determined to carry the controversy
to the tribunal which has been insti-
tuted specially for the final settle
ment of such questions.

FOOD PROTECTION.
The Circuit Court Of the United States
Decides in Favor of the ln-erseal
PACKAGE

A decision far reaching in its effect and
of interest to all lovers of pure food. has
just been handed down by Judge Adams
in the circuit court of the United States.
The suit in question was brought
against The Union Biscuit Company for
infringement on the In-er-seal package
controlled exclusively by the National
Biscuit Company. for the protection OF
biscuit and crackers against dust, mois-
ture, odor and germs.
In deciding against The Union Biscuit
Company. Judge Adams says:
The proof abundantly shows that prior
to the invention of the patent. the old
paper cartons or boxes. were inadequate
to the demands of the service required
Of them: that their contents deteriorated
rapidly in substance and favor: that they
were subjected to the baneful effects of
the air. moisture and dust. Since the in
PRODUCTION of the box of the patent radi-
cal Change has taken place. This box has
been found equal 20 the climatic and other
local conditions in all parts 81 the coun-
try. from New Orleans 10 New York. from
Florida to Minnesota and from California
to Massachusetts. The uniform testimony
from all these regions is TO the effect that
the contents of the box are preserved in
their original freshness and flavor
The whole testimony in my opinion
clearly shows that the box Of the patent
materially facilitates the distribution Of
inexpensive food products TO the consumer
and at the same time lessons the cost
and enhance the intrinsic value OF such
products"
Judge Adams fun decision against the
infringement not only shows the great
Importance OF the In-er-seal package. but
is so broad and conclusive as TO prevent
any further Infringement or use in viola

Under the present law this jury wouio
be for the May term of the district
court. but there is in the legislature at
he present time a bill providing for an
April instead of a May term of the court
and the jury will not be notined OF the
time they will report for duty until the
it becomes law the jury will be called
the first Monday in April.
Judge Dale and a number or other
members of the bar and bench in this
state have long contemplated this change
in the present law. They wish to avoid
having jury serve during the hottest
months of the year. To sit in a jury box
and listen to evidence and arguments by
the hour on a hot summer day is very
tiresome, and the attorneys and judges
believe that better service could be Sc
cured if court was held earlier in the
year The plan is backed by attorneys
from all parts of the state and also by
judges of the district courts. and the bill
will certainly pass the legislature.

street cars should run to the Union Stock
Yards, not one of which reasons did the
street car superintendent successfully re-
fute.
There are certain -inalienable rights
that belong to all people and one of the
rights of the stock yards people is TO
have the street car line extended to the
yards-that is sself-evident and cannot be
made palmer by argument. That is the
way the stock yards people feel about it.
Thousands of people who come to Wich-
tia would visit the stock yards If the
street car line ran to the yards. The
company ought to do it or take down
their signs on the North Main street
cars.
