apple between them. This is familiar

Amador ledger., 1906-07-27

We have been requested to voice
our opinion concerning a matter of
general interest to the people; name
~ the practice of closing public
offices, schools, etc., on account of
funerals of private citizens. We have
had instances of schools being dis
missed on account of the funeral
of prominent citizen it may be, but
who is not officially connected with
the school. The same thing some
times occurs in regard to offices in the
court house. They are closed and
locked, for brief time, to enable
those connected Herewith to pay
tribute of respect to the deceased by
attendance at the last sad rites.
The subject is a delicate one to
handle. Nevertheless we are tree to
say, that while every opportunity,
consistent with public interests
should be afforded to show proper
respect for dep arted ones, there Is no
authority for suspending public bust
ness for this purpose. unless the
deceased is a county official, when in
conformity with established custom
it is not out of place for brother
officials to attend the funeral in a
body, and close their respective office
while the ceremonies are in progress.

State Support of Orphans.

A. j. PIllsbury, secretary of the
state board of examiners, was In
jackson Monday His visit here was
not to do politics, but to look into
matters concerning the orphans and
half orphans, who are charge upon
the state treasury. He informs us that
there are 5000 orphans in public and
private institutions that are either
wholly or in part supported from the
state treasury. Besides these there
are 1000 orphans and half orphans
who are supported partly by the
various counties, which are reimburs
ed for all moneys so paid out of the
state treasury. The aggregate sum
paid for these orphans is immense,
and requires tax of between three
and four cents on each 500 of taxable
property in the state. And yet the
counties have not all lined up at the
state treasury to demand their quota
for the support of such children.
Some ten of the largest counties in
the state (includIng San trancisco)
have put in no claim on this score so
far. But they will all wake up to the
issue ere long, and when the roll call
of the counties is complete on this
proposition, it is safe to say that the
death kneIl of the law as it now
stands will be sounded. The state
treasury could not stand such drain
or rather the people generally
would not stand for it. 1t would break
down of its own weakness, and the
more rational plan of compelling each
county to look after its own orphans
be substituted in its place. The
Ledger is not arguing against the
proposition of extending aid to
orphan children from the public
treasury We believe in the wisdom
of such a course But we do contend
that it should be the business of each
county to look after this matter; that
upon the taxpayers of each county
the burden should fall exclusively.
In that event, each application for
aid would be examined and passed
upon strictly on its merits. The
Iooseness that now prevails, born of
the fact that the money comes from
the state and not the county treasury
would be done away with.
Prof. Jordan has branched out into
the prediction business, and has giveu
his opinion that the next serious
earthquake Will likely find its focal
centre about HaywaIds. Ii such cal
amity talk came from q less distin-
guished man 1t would be denounced
and ridiculed as was the venture of
Mrs Budd in the same line recently
1t comes with with poor taste for a
scholar and a scientist to indulge in
scare talk. He fixed no date, so he
cannot be called down for non-fulf1I-
ment.

THIS HORSE
A MONSTER

Up in wyoming lot OF scientific
grubbers have unearthed the fossil re-
mains Of a horse thirty feet long and
more than thirty feet high. The grub
hers seem to have pieced the horse to-
gether without any comment and they
do not offer a word of Information
concerning it's genealogy or it's track
record. A horse thirty feet long would
appear to be a lot Of horse. If it be-
longed to the cave man the latter GER
tainly had his hands <ull. A horse so
tall that thirty-foot Iadde~ became
necessary when bride was 70 be put
on might well be called the pride OF
the stabIe-although no ordinary stable
would begin TO accommodate such a
beast. If the cave man had no ladder
and could not borrow one the next best
thing was to climb a tree. Then try
to imagine him shining up a tall palm

THE MATTER OF
FREE KICK

A correspondent asks II a referee Is
right in giving a free kick for an offence
committed inside the penalty area The
answer is that obviously the referee is
wrong in so doing, the rule stating dis
tinctly that I'm the event Of any in
territorial infringement OF Law by the
defending side within the penalty area
the referee shall award the opponents
a penalty kick Law 9, referred to-,
states that: Neither tripping. kicking
nor jumping at a player shall be al
lowed. A player. the goal-keeper ex-
cepted, shall not handle the ball. A
player shall not use his hands to hold
or push an opponent. Charging must
not be violent or dangerous. A player
shall not oe charged from behind unless
he is Intentionally obstructing an OPP
ponent."
Possibly the referee in question based
his decision on the clause which pro-
vides for cases of unintentional breach
es of the law. But under such circum-
stances no penalty, either free kick or
penalty kick should be given.
Only under one condition may ref
free refrain from awarding a penalty
kick for an offence within the penalty
area and that is when he is satisfied
that by enforcing the provisions OF the
law he would be giving an advantage
to the offending side.

GUNNER NOR
AND O'BRIEN

If the English sportsmen are willing
to bet any amount - on Gunner Moir s
chances against Jack O'Brien, as the En-
glish fighter says they are in his chal-
lenge to the Philadelphia scrapper, they
| must hold very poor opinion of the
men in the game over on this side of
the pond.
Gunner Moir, or the dope, would
last about one or two rounds at the
most with o 'Brien, the best line be-
ing furnished by the Gunner's recent
battle with Jack Palmer Palmer is
great big pug with no science and
no punch. When O 'Brien ducked to
England to avoid meeting Fitzsimmons
he looked around for some easy money
and stumbled onto this same Palmer
and match was either made or about
to be made when Jack came rushing
back to the States for some reason or
another. He planted Palmer carefully
for a later day stake, and has had
him in mind ever since.
When the Englishmen heard that Pal
mer was going to fight O 'Brien or any
one else there was a laugh from one
end of the United Kingdom to the
other, and close followers of fighting
over there declare that Jabez White,
small as he is, could beat Palmer to
death in less than ten rounds
Then Moir turned around and had
hard time getting away with Palmer,
but as a result of that battle the
Gunner now thinks he is a real cham
pion, and talks about a big bet and
big purse for fight with o 'Brien.
If the purse and the bet are in sight
it is good bet that O'Brien will
make the trip after he gets through
with Burns.
