GiIlett Is Declared
to Be Governor

SACRAMENTO, Jan. S.-The usual
joint session of the Legislature to
canvass the vote for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor was held this
afternoon in Red Mems Hall, with
Lieutenant Governor Alden Anderson
and Speaker Beardslee alternately
welding the gavel. When James N.
Gillett was declared elected Governor
by a plurality of S242 votes there was
a modest round of applause, in which
the gallery, remembering that it
helped to give Theodore A. Bell 300
plurality in Sacramento County, did
not join.
Speaker Beardslee performed the
duty of reading the returns from the
various counties. While he was Civ
ing the result from Amador County
Imagination played tricks with his
eyesight. and instead of Warren r.
Porter he read Walter Parker AS

rim, had. lined up Southern California
for Beardslee and made his election
possible. the members of the Joint
convention thought of the injunction,
Remember thy creator" and laughed
heartily.

That let both out so far as Pardee was
concerned, but to add certainty in the
matter of Booth, he had the support
of the Santa Barbara machine. 1t was
an open secret that if Gillett had the
appointment Booth would dispense
Justice from the bench vacated by
Judge Taggart. If by any legal tech
nicality the Pardee appointment can
be thrown down, Booth will get the

SACRAMENTO. Jan. S.-Putting a
last twist in the tail of the enemy
and adding another credit to the vim
dication side of Al Lindley's revenge
slate, Governor Pardee cleaned up his
list of pending appointments today by
naming c. N. Post Judge of the Su-
perior Court in Sacramento to succeed
Judge z. c. Hart, who was elected to
the Appellate bench. Hart was the
only one among the Superior Judges
elevated to resign before the retirement
of Pardee.
Owing to the fact that Hart, unlike
those Judges under the thumb of the
organization, declined to play small
politics. there was no question of va
cancy for the organization to hang a
refusal on, and Posts commission was
forthcoming. In fact, before 2 o'clock
this afternoon he was a fully qualified
Judge and announced himself as ready
to proceed with the trial of a case.
The appointment of Post besides be-
ing a bitter pill for the organization to
swallow, is, so far as Pardee is con-
cerned, a pure spite appointment and
one that has separated him from con-
siderable local following, which, while
it had nothing against Post person
ally, worked tooth and toe nail to land
the place for James Devine. Among
these former Pardee adherents now di-
vorced from him are Charles K. Nc
CATCHY, Judge Hughes and Judge
Shields

WYOMING LAWMAKERS MEET

CHEYENNE, Jan. S.-The ninth Wyo-

the entire forenoon II caucus, but had
not completed the organization when
the Legislature met. Consequently
Governor Brooks message went over
until tomorrow.
On the first ballot the Republican
members in caucus unanimously voted
to support United States Senator Fran

tion insures a straight party vote for
Warren, and as the Republicans have
large majority in the Legislature.
his election is certain.

In my former message to the Legis-
lature i advocated the separation so
far as IL could be accomplished of
State and local taxation as being the
necessary first step toward the reform
desired This is the conclusion reached
by the commission and it has devised
a form of separation which it believes
will be both practicable and equitable
Briefly stated, il consists in taking for
the exclusive use of the State all the
taxes to be derived from certain classes
Of corporations; also the poll tax in
heritance taxes, insurance taxes, fran
chise taxes and fees collected by State
officers. If the product OF all these
taxes, at the rate suggested by the
commission, shall be retained by the
State. IL is estimated that there will re-
suit q revenue for State purposes of
from s9.000.00 to $40. 500, 900, which
would be sufficient to meet all demands
upon the State treasury at the present
rate OF expenditure, including the sup
port OF the public schools

Postal Savings Banks.

We are very glad to see it an
nounced by the newspapers, that the
postmaster general proposes to advO-
cate a system OF Postal Savings banks.
such a system has worked we'll in
England and there is no reason to
doubt that it would work we'll here.
The only opposition to it comes from
the bankers. Of course it would in
terfere somewhat with the profits
OF their business, but if it will be
benefit to the whole country, we see
no reason for giving it up on that
account A newly built line of railroad
puts an end to the business Of a lot OF
reamsters, yet no one advocates the
stopping of railroad building for
mat reason.
We hope that the next session of
congress will see several improvements
in our postal system.

Henderson's Handbook Of Plants,
printed in 1900, describes it as follows:
"Paspalum dilitatum (syn. P. ovatum) i,
and P. platycaule, sometimes called
Louisiana grass, natives OF Virginia
and southwark, are mentioned in DR..
George Vasey's report to the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, 1887, as valuable
pasture grasses for the South, espe-
cial1y P. di1itatum, (which has very
strong roots, and grows in the longest
drouth almost as fast as when it rains"
Baron Won Mueller in his Extra
Tropical Plants, printed in 1884 says:
"Paspalum dilitatum, Extra-tropical
America. PERENNIAL; Of excellent quail
ity for fodder; keeps green during the
hottest summer-t time. 1t grew four
and one-half feet in little more than
two months in New South Wales,
after drouth was followed by heavy
rains. introduced into Australia by
the writer with many other fodder
grasses"
Is not this enough to convince you
that it is worthy of trial? AS we said
before, Florida is lacking in good pas
ture grasses, and from all accounts
this is very desirable species for
that purpose.

quantities Of postage stamps for use
as currency in making small remit
tances This gives many newspaper Of
fees and dealers in large cities too
many stamps SO that they are often
obliged to sell them at a discount. In
fact some dealers refuse to receive
stamps for remittances. 1t is against
the rules of the poStOfflce department
to sell stamps to be sent Oft IN letters,
but the rule is violated daily all over
the country In fact how is it possible
for a postmaster to know what use a
person is to make Of the stamps which
are called for.
We do not see how there can be any
objection to the issue Of such cur
rency 1t would not compete with any
ones business and would be a con-
venience to thousands Of people. The
expense would be only the cost OF
printing, and if used in business gen
orally the amount lost would more than
cover the cost.

Paspalun Grass.

You will find, elsewhere, this week,
an article about this grass. When we
read it, we were impressed with the
TACT that it seemed to be good pasture
grass and prepared it for the paper
without looking it up. Intending to call
special attention to it, we began tins
editorial. On looking it up, we find
that it is a native Of the country, being
found in low ground in Alabama, Mass
lSsippi and westward. It is very high
ly recommended, and it seems strange
,nat nauve grass OF so much merit
onouIu have been so long overlooked.
FrOt. op1llman in his Farm Grasses
OF America describes it as follows:
Large Water Grass (Paspalum di-
l1tatum), is one of the native grasses
Of the South that has recently attracted
attention, particularly for pasture pur-
poses. 1t is exceedingly we'll liked by
stock, and furnishes abundance Of feed
OH meQ1um to moist soils. The stems
grow two ana One-half to three feet
nigh, but are not leafy enough to pro-
4uce much hay. 1t is decidedly bunchy
in habit, each clump producing a great
mass OF succulent root leaves which
are greedily eaten by all classes of
stock. Prof. S. M. Tracy, for many
years director of the Mississippi Ex-
pertinent Station, regards this as one
of the valuable paSture-grasses of the
South. Its seed has recently been
made available in the markets"

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER IL, 1907
Parcels Post.

We are very glad to note, IN various
papers, the announcement that the
present Postmaster General is in Ia
vor of a modified parcels post, but
why modified? Is it merely because
he feels sure that Congress would not
pass bill for such a parcels lost as
we need and ought to have?
Do you not think that the American
people are entitled to equal privileges
with the foreigners in our midst? DO
you know that package weighing II
pounds may be mailed from any post
office in the United States to any post
office in any of the following countries,
viz. Canada, Mexico and all the coun-
tries of Central America, all the West
India Islands except Cuba and Porto
Rico, Bolivia, Chile, British Guiana,
Columbia, Peru, Venezuela and New
Zealand. To any of these points such a
package can be sent at a rate Of II
cents a pound. But if you want to
send one to Australia, it must not
weigh more than 4 pounds and six
ounces. Can you imagine any good
reason for allowing II pounds sent to
New Zealand, and refusing to take one
that is over 4 pounds and six ounces
to Australia? Packages weighing 4
pounds and six ounces can be sent to
almost any part Of Europe or Asia at
the same rate, but if you want to send
some Christmas present to friend in
the next town it must not weigh over
4 pounds and the rate is 10 cents a
pound. Evidently our law makers
think great deal more Of the foreign
ers among us than they do of native
Americans. Of course, the explana-
ton is plain, the express companies do
not send packages to foreign countries
and the parcels post to such places does
not interfere with their business. Yet
it is also true that they do not carry
packages to one half of the postofflces
in this country, those who get their

Two Cartoons.

One Of the most striking cartoons
which we have seen for long time,
was in an exchange, but credited to the
New York Press. 1t was entitled,
Filming a Monopoly" 1t is evidently
intended to represent a scene in a
court room. Only the corner Of the
judges desk is visible, no face, but the
words which he is pronouncing
are given in a circle as if just
coming from the mouth of the invisible
judge" 'You are fined Steen million
dollars" Standing back a little way
from the desk is a gross caricature
Of John D. Rockefeller who is say
ing, Certainly, Judge, my little friend
here will settle, he always does" His
hand rests on a small man standing
in front of him on the tips of his toes,
trying to reach to the top of the Judges
desk and to place upon it his pocket
book, this small man is labeled "Con-
sumner" The absolute truth of the car
tOon, is its most taking point.
Good as this is, one which we found
in the Mirror and Farmer, was not
far behind. 1t represents a very stout
man, we'll dressed and with the appear
ance Of a prosperous business man,
with his tall stiff hat we'll back on his
bald head, showing two small horns
sprOutlng out just above his ears. In
his left ha1d he holds, by the back of
the neck, a small man labeled "Con,
sumer,' his right hand is extended and
the thumb points to a placard on the
wall. This reads as follows: Form
erly o4,5oo,ooo lbs. canned beef EXPORT
ed yearly. Present export 15,8oo,ooo
lbs. canned beef Loss in EXPORT
bacon 100000 lbs.
The large man is labeled "Beef
Trust" and is saying to the consumer.
Shall | lose that? Not much, when |
can force you to make it up by increas-
ing the price Of meats at home" Is
it not true?

mail at these small offices are deprived
Of the privilege of getting such par
cells except by sending to distant
express office or paying even more
exorbitant rates Of postage.
Is there any good reason why this
country should not have as convenient
modern facilities for the transportation
Of parcels as any Of the countries OF
Europe? Yes, according 10 John Wan
arnaker, there are four very substantial
reasons, not good ones, but reasons
which have strange power over the
votes of congressman, viz. the 4 great
express companies. There is no doubt
that they have been the CHIEF hinder
ance which has prevented the adoption
of parcels post law. But tines have
changed and the power Of these grasp
ing corporations is weakening. The
people have been partially arouse l.
witness the rate bill, Wllj' Il was adopt
ed against the wishes Of the railroad
members, and the modification Of the
denatured alcohol law which was SO
strongly opposed by the Standard Oil
Company. 1t is true that the rate bill
has not accomplished very much, so
far, for the relief Of shippers, but that
will come in good time, we believe.
Denatured alcohol has not yet done
consumers of oil and gasoline any ap-
preciable good, but it has not had time
to show what can be done, we still
have good hope that it will furnish us
cheaper light and fuel.
Now as to the parcels post, if you
feel that it would be a good thing for
the country at large and yourself in
particular, write to the member Of
Congress from your district and both
Senators from your State. 1t is not of
any use to scold them, simply tell them
how you think that it will be Of gen.
eral benefit to the whole country. Do
not be afraid that it will injure the To-
cal stOrekeeper in your town or village,
it has been found in other countries
that it has been a help instead Of
hinderance. Be a Knight Of the Post
age Stamp and put the stamps where
they will do the most good.

Postal Note Currency.

SO tar we have not seen any mention
OF postal note currency, among the pro-
posed improvements to be advocated
by the postmaster general in his report
ito Congress next December.
There is certainly great need of this
currency. AS it is now, every small
postohice is called upon to sell large

Birds of Prey.

Most farmers and poultry keepers
have an idea that all hawks and owls
are enemies which should be shot on
sight Scientific observers have found
that this is not the case. The Depart
ment Of Agriculture has issued bull
letin which gives facts and figures
which prove that with the exception of
three species, the Cooper's hawk, the
sharp Skinned hawk and the great
horned owl, the hawks and owls are
friends Of the farmer. 1t is evident
that if the chickens are properly hous-
ed, owls can do no harm. In early
spring while insects and small man.
mails are scarce, hawks do more or less
injury, by catching chickens, but for
most Of the year they are living off
from the foes Of the farmers crops.

Columbus Mckenzie, who resides
near Lake Helen, is one OF the sue
cessful farmers Of Volusia county
From 80 acres he had just harvested
246 bushels of fine corn, $Ioo worth of
fodder and hay, and from the same
piece of land sold $Ioo worth of mel
ons. Besides all this he has the pros
pect for fine sweet potato and pea
crops, and in addition he has garden
and fruit crops. Mckenzie has made
all this despite the long dry spell we
had through the winter and spring.
Farming is good paying business in
Florida when you go at it right like
Mckenzie. And such a man should
be happy, contented, and certainly in
