TEHAMA LANDS
EXPECTED TO YIELD OIL
Capitalists Bond ZOO Acres for
Experimental Behring'S

capitalists have bonded Zoo acres of
land directly south of Red Bluff and
west of the railroad for the purpose
of prospecting for oil. IL they find oil
they are to pay $50 an acre. Not finl-
ing oil in a specified time they are to
get off, 1t is understood Santa Bar
barans were induced to take up the
proposition because a local mans mag
netic indicator showed that oil could
be found at a depth of 500 feet. He
says oil runs in channels and all that
is necessary is to hit one of the chan
nels. They will begin drilling right
away.

Representative Barker Of Macon
county thinks the primary law is O
bad thing, and proposes to intro
duce bill to repeal it. He rather
suspects that it vii! not pass, but
thinks it will result in amending
the primary law. The law needs
some amending and perfecting, it
is true, but the principle is all
right and there is no reason why
it should not work practically. The
fact that there may have been some
fraud in q few precincts of the
larger cities in the last primary is
not enough to condemn the law,
fur the same thing occurs at every
general election; ii is something
that cannot be entirely eradicated
as long as human nature is what
it is. But there is good ground
for the belief that the frauds that
may be perpetrated in the primary
election are not greater than those
practiced in the ward meetings to
elect delegates to nominating
convention, if they are as great.
The ward meetings are almost uni.
versally controlled by the political
bosses; that is, those who make
politics a special business and are
away up in all the tricks of the
game. The primary places the
matter of nominating candidates
in the hands OF all the people in
stead of in the hands of the few.
1t was great mistake. however.
in placing the nomination of a can
didate for United States Senator
in the general election instead Of
in the August primary, and this.
along with some other matters,
ought to be remedied.

DON'T HAVE TO TELL.

The Uuited States Supreme Court,
speaking through Justice Day, ruled
that Il. II. Hartman can not BE- re-
quired to answer the questions con-
corning certain dealings In stock
which Frank kellogg put to him dur
ing recent investigation into the
Hartman mergers. A similar de-
cision was also handed down In the
cose OF Otto Kuhn of the firm of
Kuhn, Loeb d Co., who was asked
the same questions, but refused to
answer, following Harriman's lead.
The denision Is regarded as a sweep
ing victory for Hartman, and an
other blow TO the powers OF the in
terstate commerce commission. Up
on the basis of this decision the gov
eminent may start as many investi-
cations as II pleases into the work
ings of the big transportation lines,
but will never be able to discover
any more than the managers of the
lines are willing to tell. Justice

This Ia something which no one

fore him, nor with any contention
Of Gompers and his associates or
their lawyers. Their contention
was not that there Is any lawful
right to libel "houorable menu and
"chaste women" The whole con-
tention was that there ia a right to
speak and publish with freedom,
subject to punishment If the right
be found by jury to have been
abused. What was insisted upon
was not that libel shall not be pen

penalized by injunction judges. II
Judge Wright's words mean any
thing, they must mean that In his
mind judges may issue injunctions
forbidding injurious publications,
and thereby secure the power, by
the subterfuge Of punishment for
contempt, Of passing judgment up
on the fact OF pblication, the uchar-
acter Of publication, and the excuse
or justification, all without a jury,
and then to pass sentence in their
own irresponsible discretion. This

CHRIST AND PoLIT-
ICAL ECONOMY.

ICAL ECONOhx.
Oliver Mcknight writes to the
Philadelphia North American TO
say:
1.-THE Rev. f. b. Sanford, secre-
tary Of the Federal Council of the
Church of Christ In America, Is re-
ported to have said: 'All Of the
bodies making up the great fellow
ship Of 1900, 900 adult persons look
to the Christ az the way, the truth
and the life.' should think II we
have 1900, 900 adults who are really
anxious to live lives founded on the
example and death of Jesus, the end
of vice, crime and swollen fortunes
Is at hand. A few years ago n GER
tain minister won great prominence
by advocating bringing into every
day affairs the precepts of Jesus. |
do not know how he succeeded, but
let us hope he failed financially, as
1t would never do to advertise the
fact In this self-seeking age that
there is money in it, From the
advent of Jesus In the manager at
Bethlehem until His triumphant
death on Calvary Hill, where three
people remained to do Him homage,
II was one long fight against the
established order OF things both of
church and state. This being so, IL
we wish to follow His example, we
should render to Caesar the things
that are Caesars and unto God the
things that are Gods It is in no
irreverent spirit that l ask every
one of the $4,000, 900 adult Christians
TO follow the advice OF the minister
aforesaid, and ask themselves, be-
fore deciding any question, religious,
business or political, What would
Jesus do?' Let them ask them
selves, Would Jesus be a free trad
er or protectlonist? A monopolist
or anti-monopolist? Would His de-
sire for world power be backed up
by the newest patterns of warships
or machine guns? Would He advise
the taxation of the products of in
dustry, while the values created by
the community go into the pockets
of the holders Of the bounties of
natureP The object desired by the
council is praiseworthy, but 1t is Of
vastly more Importance how the
Christian people answer the ques-
tions | have propounded.

GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION

What Governor ALLEGED predicted
when he denounced government
by injunction" is fast coming to
pass. In the Gompers- NJ itehell-
Morrison case we have an example
Of the anticipated use OF the In
junction process as substitute for
jury trial for alleged abuses of the
right of free speech and free press.
The injunction against Gompers
and his associates was essentially
command that they refrain from
publishing certain statements. for
disobeying this injunction, they are
convicted by a judge, without a jury,
of an abuse Of freedom of the press,
and sentenced to terms of imprison-
ment for periods of time wholly
within the judges unlimited discre-
ton. Government by Injunction
has therefore reached the stage at
which freedom of speech and Of the
press--heretofore consistently ex-
ciuucu ioii Ito uutiiotits --lh uIuWii
within its reach.
The judge who setenced Gonpers
aud his associates makes no ques-
ton Of the power of judges to pro-
hibit by injunction the publication
of libels, and then, without jury
trial, to punish the alleged libeller,
really for the ofIense but nominally
for ,disobedlence Of the injunction.
Listen to him In his diatribe from
the bench on the occasion OF con-
demning Gompers, Mitchell and
Morrison. "Who can be persuaded, /"
he said, 'sthat the pe.alizing of
false and malicious libels upon the
integrity OF honorable men, or SLAM
ders upon the virtue of chaste
women, Ia an outrage upon the con-
stitutional rights Of the villifler?n
And then,he added, as II to remove
ali room for doubt of his sinister
meaning: "No right to publish
either the libel or the SANDER can be
sustained. except upon the theory
of a right to do wrong"
What he said does not mean mere

Court of the District of Columbia
