Reyes that the COrbin Banking Com

The opinion of Attorney General
Bonaparte would seem to confirm the
apprehension that Senator Lodge and
his followers hit a death blow to the
one means the south had found for
getting immigrants from Europe. The
"opinion" seems to be the plain Eng
lish of the amended law and it Ger
tainly seems strange that u senators
and representatives did not pursue
the simply plan of reading the law

meaning instead of taking 'assur-
ances" from cabinet officers and con-
gressmen. Our representatives have
allowed a lemon to be passed out to
us.-Charlotte Chronicle.

 that when the matter of taking over the plant was pending there was an
 inclination to doubt the statement Of the water company that the profits above operating expenses were $2S,- O0C a year. It is shown that they aver age a little more than that for the

Other offenders there in the same net were Roberto Villa. Juan Ign. gno, Pedro Diaz, Ana cito Bensor and Manuel NillanueVa
 The latter was drunk. but his drunk enness was partly eXcusable. He was celebrating his release from jail, where he had been held awaiting the acton of the federal grand jury on the charge of selling liquor to an Indian. but he was not indicted. John Kiernan and
 Dave Sorg were also before the court for drunkenness and disturbance of the peace. All of them were sent to jail for five days. Juan Ruiz and Alfredo JimeneZ were fined 8 each.
 HELD TO THE GRAND JURY The case of Felipe Pacheco. charged with the burglary of Chinese house and the theft of $160, committed on
 June 19, was before Justice Johnstane
 yesterday afternoon for preliminary examination. The crime took place
 one evening while all of the Chinese
 were at work in a field near by. Pach-
 eco had at one time been employed
 about the garden and knew something
 of the lay of the house. He was seen
 looming out of it with a box of curious
 Chinese manufacture' and when the lChinamen were notified they started
 in pursuit. The thieves got away but the box was found empty not far from the house. Pacheco was not captured until within the last month. In the meantime one of the Chinamen inter- tested in the stolen, Lum Way. had gone back to China and did not ex- lpect to return to this country for a Iyear or two. Pacheco was held to the grand jury.

Extravaaant Wives.

More marriages are spoiled by the
feminine love OF clothes than by the
masculine love Of liquor. to whlch so
many failures are attributed. Last
week one husband said TO me, speaking
Of money he made at night: "Oh I'd
never think Of working nights for my
self. But I'm a married man and I
have to. It takes so much money to
dress my wife" Another said, not
cOmplainingly. but in a casual way:
Il haven't bought any new clothes for
two years-not since I was married" >"
wonder II wives realize how many
husbands are turned into mere money
making machines by their extravagant
demands. OF course, the wives OF very
poor man lead lives OF perpetual toll
and sacrifice. 1t is the wife of the
saaried employe who too often let's a
man sacrifice mis- youth and strength
and happiness to her desire to dress
as well as the wife of his employer.
What do these wives give their hus-
bands in return? They are in no sense
the helpmeets they should be, but
human parasites. True marriage is an
equal partnership. Let yours be a true
marriage. If you are Inclined to Ne
extravagant, try to love clothes a little
less and your husband more-Bettv
Vincent.
