Indian Superstitions.


The Indian believes there are boa
constructors in the streams Of North
America and also that the South Amer.
tcan tapir lives in North America. he
calls the boa constructor the iste-ach-
war-nayer calls the tapir nocas-oh-
mer.
The Indian believes he has a cure and
preventive for rabies, or hydlophobia.
he also believes he can cure any snake
bite on earth, from ground rattler to
velvet tail or diamond rattler. An
Indian never was known to 60 mad
from dog bite or die from a rattier's
bite, while other races succumb to the
venom of snake or 60 mad from the
bite Of rabid dog.
The Indian when in battle and fatal
ly wounded believesethat If his medi-
cine man can reach him with his bitter
medicine before he dies 1t will give him
instant relief and he will be able to es-
cape from the battlefield. He thinks
every man is honest until he finds him
out, in which event he loses all conf
dence In him and never gets over it.
The Indian never makes up after
falling out with any one. He may speak
to an enemy as he passes, but dies with
the hatred in his heart.-Eufaula Jour-

The papers of Humboldt county
have started boom for j. N. Gillett,
congressman for this district, for the
republican nomination for governor
The t'erndale Enterprise. initiated
the boom, and the Standard, a demo
cratic paper of Eureka, has taken uI
the movement with a vim. They
claim that with multiplicity oi
candidates from other sections of the
state, the time is opportune to press
the claim of northern California upon
the convention. Gillett would make
an excellent candidate for this office.
1t is not claimed that he himself has
any aspirations that way. He is
making good record where he is;
his constituent are we'll satisfied, and
it is more than likely that he would
prefer to remain as a representative
in congress than run for the govern
ship. The attempt to boost him in
this way may be to distract rather
than help the dominant party.

The License Business.

Perhaps the most ticklish business
that county or city government Is
called upon to tackle is the framing
of ordinances providing for the pay
ment of licenses tor all classes of
business that come within the
purview of such enactments. Moth
Ing can have a more damaging effect
upon town than the levying of
paIpably unjust and iniquitous ex-
actions in this direction. 1t is more
over, very difficult task, in many
cases, to distinguish the dividing line
between a just and legal, and an
oppressive and illegal license. The
county ordinances for revenue pur-
poses have caused more trouble than
all other local ordinances com bined.
The perfect schedule of licenses has
yet to be framed. The very principle
that citizens should be taxed for ex-
ercising their right to earn living
by legitimate methods of business
is CALLING proposition. There can
be no valid objection to licensing
saloons, cigar and tobacco, and
similar branches of business, which
depends for support on a vitiated
appetite or taste, and which tend to
increase the cost of government. But
why an absolutely necessary business,
such as dealer in general merchandise
for instance. should be asked to con-
tribute for the privilege of plying
his vocation, is not easy of explain
alton. Why he should be taxed, in
addition to a property tax, and other
lines of business escape, is an enigma.
But so it is, and so it has been fol
many years. Revenue must be pro-
vided for supporting the government,
and a license tax is found an easy
and, where Judiciously guarded,
an equitable method of raising funds,
especially for municipal purposes.
But extremes in this direction are
dangerous, and apt to be far more
hurtful than the revenue derived
might prove beneficial.
A legislative body is wise in care
fully feeling every step of the way il
this matter. There is nothing to bt
gained by haste,' but great deal may
be lost thereby. Afew dollars more OF
less revenue is not so important as tc
be on safe footing. 1t is a mistaken
idea that every branch of human In
dustry may be subjected to the license
tax. There are some things that
demand exemption as a matter Of
right. Among these is the right te
exercise ones mental or manual labor
IN earning a living. 1t would be
ridiculous to impose license on 6
man engaged in shoveling rock for 6
livelihood, or a farmer tilling the
soil. Still we cannot see that it would
be any more out of joint than to tax
carpenter, a blacksmith, or doctor.
The logic of such a license system
reduces itself to this. If any man
is nonentity-a do-nothing, a va
grant, he is exempt; if he is ambit-
ious and active in any direction, he
must pay toll in the way of license.
No government can afforu, even by
implication, to sanction such a pro-
position.

The Lowest Bid System.

Municipal authorities, no matter
what class the city belongs to, are
required to let all contracts for
supplies to the lowest responsible
bidder. An amendment was passed
by the last legislature, bringing cities
of the sixth class specifically within
this rule as regards city printing,
although by a fair construction of
the old law such a course was therein
laid down. All governmental bodies
should be brought under the same
rule, particularly as regards advert1s-
ing. and printing. There is nothing
more demoralIzing than the practice
of doling out patronage to newspapers
for personal partisan ends. If print
ing OF every kind were contracted for
with the lowest bidder it would lift
the press from the partisan groove in
local affairs, and impaIt an independ-
ence which would speedily have a
wholesome effect upon the conduct
of affairs.
Civil service reform, removing
certain offices from the domain OF
party politics, and placing them on a
life or good behavior basis, is not to
be compared in Importance with the
policy for freeing the press from
political dictation as regards the dis
position of public patronage. We
believe in a great measure in the
policy of ''to the vlctors belong the
spoils." At the same time, we be-
lieve that public business should be
conducted on the same lines oi
economy as an individual would
follow in his own private affairs. II
years gone by all county printing and
advertising was let by contract will
the lowest bidder. In some years
the competition was such that the
county got its work done at ridicul
ously low figures-figures that NJ
printer could exist on. That, how
ever, was the fault of the newspaper
men themselves, and not of the law
1T Is true, printers and publisher!
could enter into combination among
themselves under the lowest bic
system to guard against ruinous
competition, and insure fair price
for public work, as for private work
That is their privilege, and certainly
nothing can be said against such al
arrangement. 1t is infinitely prefer
able to the system of attempting te
use patronage under a policy of re.
wards and punishments, as the exist
ing laws certainly favor.

How GAN Men Arc Born Equal" !"

The woman born beautiful doesn't
bother to educate her intelligence, Is
spoiled by flattery, Is unable to hold
the men she attracts. The woman born
hOmely is driven to develop her char
acter and her mind, and so more than
overcomes her handicap as against her
pretty sister. The man born clever
loses because he wins too easily and
has no incentive to that sustained ef.
fort which alone achieves success. The
man born "slow" develops patience, as
siduity, balance and, best Of all, tenac-
ity.
1t comes near to being a universal
rule that strong points and weak ones
Just about offset each other in any hu-
man being at the start and that the de-
velopment is matter for the man him
self to determine. And there is no IA
tai handicap except the disposition to
regard ones handicap as fatal.-Sat-

week may be formed when we state
that the rainfall OF over eight inches

New Cases.
W. E. Speer VS. d. Grillo, James
QuinIan, S. Scapucino, James Less
ley, constable, and A. W. Robinson,
justice of Township 3. The CON-
plant sets forth that in February
1904, A. W. Robinson rendered judg-
ment against W. K. Speer and A. j..
Speer in favor of Scapucino for the
sum of SITS SO and costs, taxed at
Sl1. In November, 1905 a writ of
execution was issued thereon, which
writ was placed in the hands of D.
Grillo as deputy constable, who there
under entered into possession of
plaintiffs premises and took poss-
esslon of certain personal property,
including u head of cattle, hay, grain
and farming implements; said pro-
perty was thereafter placed in charge
of James Quinlan. Complaint further
alleges that defendant d. Grillo had
no legal authority to serve said writ
or levy upon the property of plaintiff !;
that defendant James LESLEY, as
constable threatens to sell said per-
sonal property at public auction on
the 18th of January.
Judgment is asked that the ex-
ecution be declared unauthorized and
void, and that restraining order
be granted to prevent defendant from
interfering with defendants property
by virtue of the writ of execution.

ment as conductor on the lone and
