court or to one of the district courts OF
appeal. 1t is true the supreme court
has the power to revise any decision OF
district court of appeal, butit is not
obliged so to do. In this respect its
jurisdiction is similar to that of the
supreme court of the United States,
which has the power, although seldom
exercised. to review any decision of a
United States circuit court of appeals;
1T is similar to the power now held by
the California supreme court in banc
(also seldom exercised) to revise any
decision of the court rendered in one of
its departments. Itis considered that
a reservation OF such supervisory pow
er in the supreme court will have an
influence for good upon the district
courts OF appeal, and will insure uni
formity of their decisions throughout
the state.
The amendment provides for the dis
tribution of business from time TO time
so that each of the district courts and
the supreme court shall always bear
its equal share of the judicial labor.
Under the amendment, the judicial
business OF the state will thus be tran
sacted by four competent courts, act
ing concurrently, although there will
be the addition of only four judicial
officers to the present judicial staff.
And yet the supreme court will con-
tinue to be, in case of need, the court
of final resort; having at all times
power to take to itself and decide any
case, civil or criminal, whatever may
be the amount of property, or the char
acter Of the question involved.
1t is of the highest Importance that
the present opportunity of amending
the system be availed of. If the amend
ment now proposed should fail to re-
ceive a majority of votes, the present
deplorable condition of the supreme
court must continue until some other
measure can be brought before the
legislature and by that body again
submitted to vote of the people, The
The present measure was prepared
with great care by special committee
acting in conference with other mem
bers of the bar, and with the judges.
In our opinion it is in every respect
satisfactory. We commend it to you
accordingly, and bespeak your aid in
it's adoption.

A story of Matt carpenter.

Matt Carpenter, the famous Wis
eonsin senator, was pleading case be-
fore the supreme court. Before he had
got half through with his argument the
judges had made up their minds that
his case was without merit, and, more
over, that he was unprepared. When
he finished his argument and counsel
for the other side got up to reply, the
judges whispered to each other nodded
and then the chief justice said, II don't
think it will be necessary to hear from
you, SIR" Carpenters opponent was
deaf. and he could only tell that the
CHIEF Justice was addressing him. He
turned to Carpenter for aid. what
did the chief justice say, Matt?" he
whispered. HE said he'd rather give
you the case than listen to you," Car.
penter bawled In his ear.

The Jurenile Jananese.

There are no children in Japan. They
are dignifed burlesques on the grown
ups. The little girls of the family take
care of the babies by having them
strapped to their backs. Nearly every.
maid of five or six has a baby tied to
her back, and perhaps that accounts
for the bent back and tottering gait Of
the Japanese woman. Though one
never hears Jap baby cry, if one be-
gins to make mouth and wrinkle up
its funny little face, its child mother
quiets it by raising her body on her
toes and heels as fast as she can, and
placidity reigns in short order. A man
would feel like fool quoting Mother
Goose" to japanese child or trying
to amuse it as one does our children.

BIRTH OF THE BUS.
This Class of Vehicle First Appeared
In Paris In 1852.

In Paris In 1862.
The omnibus appeared in Paris in
1862 as "carrosse cinq sous" coach
for twopence halfpenny), by authority
of Louis XIV, under the management
of Pascal, the mystic and philosopher.
Whether this eminent thinker originat-
ed the idea is not clear, but there is no
doubt that hts influence assisted in the
establishment of the service under the
auspices of a royal decree.
Later on these earliest omnibuses
ceased to run owing to lack of support,
and did not reappear in Paris until
1927, when LATTE, the banker, who
was among the largest proprietors,
was credited with originating the re-
vived service.
The new coaches started to ply in
London on July 4, 1920, when the first
one left Paddington for the Bank OF
England, and another ran from the
bank to the Yorkshire Stingo, New
road. These first British buses were
known from the man who organized
them as "Shillibeers," and the conduc.
tors of the first two are said to have
been the sons of British naval officers.
Three horses drew them, and they car
ried twenty-five passengers, all inside

The one-crop system of farming in
California will soon be thing of the
past. The broad-spreading fields of

GELS and diversified farming, with
many homes, school houses and small
villages will take the place of the big
grain fields and the bunk houses and
sheds.
The conservation of floodwaters be-
hind big dams in storage reservoirs
will prevent in a large measure rag
ing rivers that burst their levees and
inundate the land adjoining them, and
irrigation will double and quadruple
the production of the lands of the two
big valleys. When that day comes,
COWS and sheep and pigs will be seen
on many farm that never knew
them before. Poultry will be raised
and the farmer who went to the
village formerly with nothing in his
wagon to sell at the store or market,
will, in that day, take eggs and chick
ems alive or dressed and will bring
home his weekly lot of groceries and
other things bought with their pro-
ceeds, instead of getting them on
credit and waiting till his wheat crop
is harvested and sold.
Diversified farming in the East is
what has, when united with judgment
and system, made the Eastern farmer

"The fact that believe in the superior

"a sick woman cannot be a beautiful

the young woman or the mother is the
proper understanding of her womanly sys-

JOHN BANiSTER.
An English violinist Who Won Fame
In the Seventeenth Century.

In the Seventeenth Century.
Public concerts owe their direct en-
couragement to John Banister, who
had won fame by his playing on the
violin and who succeeded the cele-
brated Baltzar as leader Of Charles lis
band of twenty-four violins. Pepys, In
an entry in his diary for February,
1857, tells us the court gossip Of the
day-"how the kings viallin Banister
is mad that the king hath a French
man come to be chief Of some part Of
the kings musique."
Banister's concerts at the close Of the
year 1872 were advertised In the Lon
don Gazette as follows: These are to
give notice that at Mr.. John Ranister's
house (now called the Musick SCHOOL,,
over against the George tavern in
White Fryers, the present Monday will
be musick performed by excellent mas
tiers, beginning precisely at of the
clock in the afternoon, and every after
noon for the future precisely at the
same hour
-Four years later on we read again.
"At the Academy in Little Lincoln's
Inn Fields will begin the first part of
the Parley of Instruments, composed
by Mr. John Banister." The admission
was at this time as rule a shilling.
and these concerts seem to have been
held pretty regularly down to within a
short time of Banister's death, which
took place in 1679.-Chambers Journal

CHURCH ALES.
An Old English Custom That Wa.
Suppressed In 1903.

Suppressed In 1903.
From almost the earliest times in
England Church ales" were often Civ
en- in building adjoining any church,
where were hearth of good compass
and stout oaken table upon which
the "ale" and viands were set forth.
The founder of the feast gave his best
brew and was content to receive mon
ey in exchange, the spirit animating
these quasi religious symposia being
akin to that which obtains at the mod
ern charity bazaar-that is to say, all
who attended were prepared to pay lib
orally or even dearly for their fare.
Thus the man who had lost his mon
ey and was down on his luck' would
give a IBID (begginD a1e'' that, if he
was popular, might suffice to set him
on his feet again. The more romantic

couples into housekeeping, while pro-
sale "Whitsun ale'' was furnished by
churchwardens, who used to raise
money for the poor, for church repairs
or other pressing cause, the malt pre-
yiously presented to them and stored
in the 1.-THE barns.
Dancing was tndulged in at such

propitious an adjournment might be
made to an adjacent meadow, where
archery, quintain and other diversions
would ensue. But excesses became
more and more frequent, so that in

HATS OF STRAW.
China Gets the Credit For HAVING
First Made Them.

N0u9 Inems
The earliest makers of straw hats
were unquestionably the Chinese.
Their work was by no means rough
in character, but plated and sewn to-
gether with considerable skill, as may
be seen today In the neighborhood Of
Canton.
In Europe hats were first made in
Paris by Swiss so early as 14O4, and

as worn in Provence, with a hundred

School Election Monday.

Monday promises to show up a very
fight for the dictatorship of the Sa-
lem school district, and over the
question of having any grades above
the ninth grade.
The progressive elements of the
district have put up a popular young
Republican, A. A. Lee, employed by
the Salem Abstract Company wao has
publicly declared himself as favoring
grades above the ninth.
There are campaign committees at
work for Mr.. Lee composed of prom
inent Republicans and Democrats, in.
cmding two members of the Salem
Woman's club, who will labor to get
out full vote of the district on Mon.
day, and to place the principles of
their candidate before the voters.
The opposition have put out j. w.
Young, a Republican alderman and
contractor and builder of the fifth
ward. He is represented as the can
didate of the elements opposed to pro
gress in the affairs of the district.
This makes a square issue between
the two elements, and the fight will
be warm one. Mr. Young was a can
didate for the nomination year ago.
