some Famous Stout women.

Cleopatra, who by her fascination and
beauty, charmed so many of the men of
her time, was short and stout.
Many of the women of the middle age
were also large. Among them are Lu-
cretia Borgia, sometimes called the most
wicked woman in the world; Laura,
whom Petrarch made famous in his
poems; Marguerite of Angouleme, queen
of Navarro, and Marie de Medici, wife OF
the French king, Henry ".
Queen Elizabeth and her sister, Mary
Tudor, were both tall and stout. So
was the graf Russian empress, CathaT-
inc. Both the Empress Josephine and
her predecessor on the French throne,
Marie Antonette, became stout as they
grew old. Madame de StaeI, the great
wit of her time, has been called ''pudgy.'
George Sand, although she had beau
tiful head, vas unattractiYely stout, and
George Elliot was unusually large.
All the women of the Bourbon blood
have a tendency to fairness. The grand
mother Of SPANS young king weighed
800 pounds a few years ago, although
she was then very graceful. Queen
Marguerite, dowager Of Italy, tried tc
overcome her stoutness, but after a Sc
we're course Of Alpine climbing and vine
gar drinking had to give up the strug

Team Runs Away.

The team belonging to Charley KuDz
became frightened in front Of the
Hopes livery barn Saturday as they
were being unhitched, breaking away
and running south. The wind blew a
piece of paper under their feet which
frightened them. Liveryman Hopes
had them unhitched from the wagon ex-
cept- one tug when the team bOlted,
knocking Mr.. Hopes down and Spain
ing his ankle. The team was caught at
the rear Of Millisack's store. No other
damage was done.

Editor and Manager
EDITORIAL PERILs.

The prevailing idea that an editor
and publisher, rs such, can be held
criminally responsible only for the
appearance in the columns of his
paper of a malicious and libelous
article, must be revised, according
to the march of events in Amador
county within the past two weeks
Newspaper men throughout the
state will do we'll to take heed to the
new legal snags which have been
planted for their particular benefit,
and which their enemies may use in
an emergency for their undoing A
country editor without enemies is a
man who is without convictions, or
who lacks the courage to express
them. One who tries 70 do his duty
is bound to have a few evil wisbers
on the alert to entrap him on any
f1imsy preteXt that may present it.
self. This may be taken as a com
pliment, and almost invariably does
work to his advantage in the long
run; all the same it is a source of
annoyance and expense for the time
being. The powers that be in ANA
dor county have laid down the
principle that any item published in
newspaper, whether on personal
knowledge or on secondhand infor-
nation, has all the force of sworn
statement, as far as the responsible
ty of the editor is concerned. A
copy of the paper itself containing
the article, can thereafter be made
to do duty in criminal prosecu-
ton, in lieu of the corpus delicti;
also as absolute proof of the identity
of the writer, and conclusive evi-
dence Of the truth of the statements
contained therein. This far-reaching
legal effect of news item is phase
of journalism never before contem-
plated. If universally adopted it
would be bombshell in the ranks of
the fraternity never before exploded
in this country since the declaration
of independence. Such is journal
istic life in the far west, as practi-
cally exemplified in Amador county.
This is about the funniest PROPOSE
tion of the legion of funny happen
ings in local Jurisprudence in many
years. The deer case in it's other
phases will come within the purview
of the press shortly At present it
would be out of place to discuss it,
but we have no doubt it is, in it's
many-sided features, commanding a
full share of public discussion
throughout the county.

not, is prompted by the best of
motives. 1t aims to promote the
moral and material welfare of the
county. The object is to control the
number of saloons. No one will dis
pute that the number is far in ex-
cess of reasonable limit. The sys-
TEN has grown up, however, under
the fostering care of the local gov
ernment. 1t is the outcome of low
license system which has always held
sway. No doubt it would have been
better if different policy had been
adopted at the outset. But the diff
ficulty now facing US, is how to
remedy the evil without bringin g
upon the community other evils, per-
haps not one whit less disastrous
than those now existing. 1t is well
to consider the matter IN all its
bearings before taking action. What
would be the probable effect if a
sharp turn were taken? How would
property interests be affected?
What might happen in the way of
the principal towns of the county
adopting self government, thereby
taking the regulation of such mat
ters out of the hands of the county
authorities? If this were done, how
would it affect the income for the
support of the county organization
While recognizing, therefore, the
need of reform, it behooves those in
charge to make haste slowly, taking
a broadside view Of the situation
before moving at all
Amador ledger., 1903-12-18
CHANGE OF POLICY.

A sudden and radical change of
policy affecting the revenue or social
status of county, state or nation, is
to be deprecated. The country at
large has been discussing for several
years past the advisability of modi-
flying the tariff laws. It is admitted
that such laws need changing from
time to time to meet the require
ments of changing circumstances.
A tariff schedule, wisely arranged
and benefcent in it's operation to-
day, may be out of joint and op-
pressive in the altered conditions of
a year hence. This is admitted.
There is no tixity of such laws that
will apply with equal force to all pos
sible conditions. They are merely
temporary policies, intended to ap-
ply to certain conditions; when the
conditions change, revision or
modification of the policy becomes
imperative. But even when this
necessity arises, it is the path of
wisdom to avoid any sweeping
change. To avert violent disturb
ance of financial affairs, the modifi-
cation must be gradually and almost
imperceptibly accomplished. The
country passes from the old to the
new order of things without serious
detriment to any material interest.
When the democrats succeeded in
electing a president and congress, a
radical departure in fiscal policy was
inaugurated. From high protect
i've tariff, the administration pro-
posed to drift to tariff for revenue
only, withdrawing the protective
feature under which many infant in
dustries were struggling to sound
basis. We know the result. A panic
and financial crash spread through
the country. The threatened in
terests, in seeking cover, went tot
tering to the wall. Years of fam
ished industries and hard times for
the laboring classes interviewed, and
continued until the policy of pro-
lection was again triumphant at the
polls.
The idea herein conveyed of dis
aster incident to violent change of
policy, is applicable to county af-
fairs. A movement is on foot to
make a sweeping change in local
policy. The movement, we doubt

The strike at the Royal mine at
Hodson, in Calaveras county, has
assumed threatening aspect. The
strikers have resorted to violence to
prevent non-union men from taking
the places they have vacated. This
is the last resort, when the contest
from the strikers standpoint is NOV
ing onward to losing game. And
yet in adopting violent methods they
ought to know that they are only
contributing to their own defeat.
Labor unions cannot win by declar-
ing war against law and order. The
same tactics have been followed in
Colorado, and while that hitherto
f1ourishing state has been sadly
crippled industrially by the strife,
the labor organizations have been the
principal sufferers. They are strong
when they keep within legitimate
lines; they are weakness itself when
they defy established authority.
