The Times of Seattle says Alfred
Holman, one time on the Portland
Oregoniam, and later employed as edi-
tor of the P.I., is now editor of the
Sacramento Bee. This announcement
will cause the McClatchy Bros, edi.
tors and publishers OF the Evening Bee,
to smile. Alfred Holman is editor
and proprietor OF the Sacramento
Union, a morning paper. As long as
there remains McClatchy living,
connected with the Bee, there will be
no one but McClatchy editor Of that
journal. Their deceased father was its
editor for years, and one of California's
most noted writers. The McClatchy
boys will take care OF the Sacramento
Bee, never fear.

to the same union following the views
Of their favorite leader or speaker.
There are members in every union,
I firmly believe, who hate each other
as Japs do the Russians. They quar-
rel amongst themselves. They can
not sgree as one man on any resolu-
tion or motion that may be made or
passed. 1t is jealousy. and jealousy
will always be among any organiza-
ton long as organizations exist.
