TuEM.JoRITY SHOULD RULE

The News objects to the proposed
changing of the charter from a two
thirds vote to majority vote, for the
purpose of voting bonds, on the the
ury "that it is juggling with dan
eerous power" Ii also says: 1.-The
present provision OF the charter in Ie-
gard to taxpayers election was de-
eided upon after due consideration
and there is no question as to Its
wisdom and fairness. "
In regard to Juggling with dan
gerous power" it is a reflection upon
the intelligence of the small property
owner, when be cannot be trusted to
vote upon questions which concern
him as much as the heavy tex payer.
The man who owns small home is
even more concerned about a slight
increase in taxes than the man who
has ample means to pay much II nee
essary. An election to vote bonds IL
perhaps safer in the hands OF tie
small tax payer for this reason. The
coming election, however, is not on
a question OF voting bonds, but to
change the charter so that majority
vote shall rule. All voters will have a
vote at this election. We do not
think there will be any question,
either, as to how the matter will be
settled. The principle of majority
rule is thoroughly American and must
prevail.
The provision of the present chaI
ter, which takes two-thirds vote OF
freehold voters to carry bond cleo
tion, was the demand of a small mi
nority of the committee which framed
the new charter. 1t was against the
better judgment OF the majority OF
that committee, but who yielded In
the In crest OF harmony, The city at
that time WAS small. The require
ments we're few, and 1t was decided
to let the future take care of itself.
This clause in the charter has been
against public improvements and has
more than once interiered with ur-
gent development work ut the city.
1t is stumbling block that should
be- removed, and the coming election
is the time to do 1t. Let the will o
the majority, and not one-third, ct
the freehold voters, prevail.

Tho special election which has been
called to amend the charter IL not
an election to vote bonds or put in an
Independent water system, 1t is for
the purpose of changing the charter so
that majority shall rule. 1t is has
for it's object the giving of the major.
ity of the freehold voters the right to
say whether or not certain public i'm
provements shall he made. Should 1t
carry, as we think it will, each sepa-
rate improvement thereafter proposed
will first be passed upon by the Com
mon Council, which is body of men
selected by the people and supposed
to have good Judgment, and then sui
mitted to vote. A majority of the
freehold voters will determine the
question. Another proposed change
in the charter enables the city in
case it should own aud operate its own
water plant, to use the net proceeds
OF water rents to pay for the system,
and not pay for the water plant by
general taxation. 1t is In the inter
est of public good. This provision
should, as it no doubt will, carry.
The question OF whether or not the
city shall put in water plant of its
own, whether 1t should tuy the pres
ent plant, and IL so, what shall it pay
for it, will be future questions to be
decided by vote of freehold voters
There will be plenty of opportunity
fuI duliberntion in these matters.
The proposed change in tho charter, is
the first question, and must be set.
tied. The provisions named are wise,
have been carefully considered, have
been agreed uYon unanimously by the
council, who are all interested prop
eIty owners and taxpayers OF the city
and have the future welfare of the
community at heart. Both the large
and small tax payer are represented |

Abuse of the sign privilege will nc
doubt result In the removal OF all
signs aud wooden awnings over the
Sidewalk and streets. There seems to
he no safe middle ground that will not
be encroached upon by the am mbitious

is the final result that is reached in
all cities to remove all ohstructions
that there may be no controversy ss
to where to draw the line. 1t may
come rather hard on the man doing
business on side street or a somewhat
obscure location, but 1t is impossible
to pick out few isolated places
where a sign across the street can be
permitted and refuse more favored

The HISTORY OF A
TRADE Mark

A slight difference In the expression
of. the mouth or eye, or IA peculiar in.
tonation of the voice may be the dis.
tinguishing mark.
A trademark is the symbol Of In.
dividuality; the Identification mark
Of merchant or manufacturer. The
United States protects this mark"
by copyright"
A coat-of.arms was formerly the In.
sigma or badge OF distinction. of merit
and Of quality.
Heraldry Is not used as largely as
! In former times-but a trademark"
to represent an article of merit Is uni.
versally used
Designs may be either fantastic or
| illustrative.
The symbol below is "The House of
Staples" trademark.
The five points of the star were de.
signed to represent the five principal
distributing centers. "a sixth has
since been added.)
The star is enclosed within a circle
which indicates that the distribution
from the five points covers great
extent of territory.
| The center and each OF the Ave
points of the star is fastened with a
staple"
| In the commercial world staple" is
applied to all articles recognized as
the standard OF value.
The House of Staples" Is therefore
the trademark peculiarly appropriate
to this business.
THE House of Staples" Is q develop
ment and a product Of the Golden
West. founded in 1874.
Its expansion has measured the
growth Of commerce on the Pacific
Coast.
Point by point the business has adj.
yanced until today there are six main
POINTS OF distribution where whole.
sale stocks are carried:
u San Francisco and Los Angeles
Portland-Seattle and Spokane. and
Honolulu.
"The House Of Staples represent.
atives canvas the cigar trade of the
entire Pacific Coast.
In every city and hamlet the doc
trine OF staples" with all 1t means
to dealer and consumer. Is being firm.
ly established.
"The House of STAPLES" has the
largest independent cigar business I'm
the United States.
A tremendous purchasing power
renders 1t possible to own stock.in.
trade very close to cost of manufac.
ture.
To buy right is the first and i'm.
perative requisite. That requires
broad avenues for distribution.
The very best goods In the world
will not sell themselves--they must
become known. must win the favor OF
dealer and consumer-then only dc
they become staple"

Tn. Bank Could Stand II.

A western lawyer tells ola remark
abl. ms auce of the convincing power
of feminine logic as evidenced by an
occurrence which he once witnessed
while standing OF the edge of a crowd
that was bssisging the doors of a bank
supposed to be on the point of sus-
pending payment.
A conversation between rosy
checked Irish woman and her husband.
who were near the lawyer, at once at
tracted his attention.
Mary said the man. I'VE must
push up, go ye can dhraw your money
at onct!''
But I don't want to draw it out,
Roger replied Mary placidly.
Don't ye know, Mary persisted
the husband. that they II lose your
money for ye if ye don't hurry t'draw
it QUIZ
IAN shure, Roger" retorted Mary,
"ain't they better able to lose it than
we are?"
Roger was stunned by this answer
able logic. and after a few more words
the two withdrew. Fortunately the
bank survived its difficulties, and no
deposltor lott cent.

The Significance of whistling.

Whistling is the bows own music.
Ii is as natural for him to whistle as
it is for bird to sing-although the
music is not always as melodIous.
But wbistling. like certain other prac-
tises. is restrainedin society by un-
written rules of etiquette. A writer
in the Pail Mall Gazette discusses
this interesting subject from the point
of view OF manners.
Whistling is understood everywhere
to signify GOODNESS, confidence, care
leeeness. These may be virtues in
their proper place, but that place lie
not the society of ones fellow Great
ures, whether one be acquainted with
them or not.
A boy reprimanded. servant dis
missed, goes home whistling. if he
dares. He wishes to express con-
tempt, and be succeeds at least in en-
raging his master generally. A hob
bledehoy who commits some breach
of the prophecies COMMONLY bursts
into a whistle. This is to save his
face, meaning no harm but it signi-
fes II don't care !" which is just the
reverse of the apology needed. At
best it shows Indifference; at worst,
az the dullest feel, insult and provo
cation.
Boswell tells little story Of whist
ling, illustrating the independent sig
nifcance. Johnson and he were din
ing with the Duke of Argyll, who
asked a gentleman present to fetch
some curiosity from another room.
The gentleman brought the wrong ar
ticle, and the duke sent him back.
The exact position of this gentle
man toward his host is uDdisclosed.
However, Boswell says, che could
not refuse bu. to avoid any appear
ance of servility he whistled az be
went out of the room. On my men
tioning this afterward to Doctor john
son, be said it was nice trait OF
character.
Boswell grasped with ease the OBJ
lection, which is unintelligible TO some
persons.
The gentleman desired to show
his INDEPENDENCE" That is always
the motive of whistling, when it has
any. You very often see young
bar bariau in this country survey his
fellow passengers and then fall to
whistling deliberately. But cultured
persons here, or quite common folks
abroad, are trained to regard polite
ness toward strangers as duty.
