State Needs More Land.

According to TIE reports of the peni-
tertiary trustees. there has been ginned
and baled, ready for marketing, about
700 bales of this seasons crop, though
none has been sold as yet, the sales so
far having been confined to one or two
lots of seed. All three of the trustees
and Superintendent Neylands are prac-
tically agreed in their estimates of the
probable gross return from the State
cotton fields. which is estimated at be-
tween 1000 and 1900 bales, though Col.
Leroy Taylor, the president of the board,
places his estimate at 1000 bales, in
round numbers.
President Taylor has made up the fol-
lowing as his estimate of all crops: Corn,
10000 bushels; cotton, 1000 bales; peas,
$500 bushels; molasses, 10000 gallons.
and hay enough to supply all farms
In the course of his report, President
Taylor gives expression to the follow
ing suggestions:
The State has opened up and put in
cultivation about 700 acres of new land
this year, which is nearly all that we
have in the delta to clear up. SO, l
would respectfully suggest that, mas
much as there is Il continuous increase
of the criminal population, it would be
we'll for our governor to recommend to
the next legislature the purchase OF
more delta land. adjoining the State
lands. and sell the Rankin and Oakley
hill farms, which have never been profit
able to the State"

TEMPERANCE MOVE INSWEDEN

Increasing Rapidly.

They still drink in Sweden, but they
likely will not do it long" remarked
o. L. Nelson of Stockholm to Wash

Already one-tenth of the whole
population belongs to temperance So
cietieS. 1t takes seven of these So
cieties, among them the w c. T. u,
to accommodate the membership of
this one-tenth, and there are many
total abstainers outside. There are
5000 members of the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance union in Sweden,
and there doubtless would be many
more if so many women had not be-
come members of other temperance
societies before the advent of the w.
c. T. U.
Sweden has a students total alb
stinence association with a member
ship of 1000. This remarkable in
stitution appears to give a hopeful
promise for the future The w. C. T
q. and other societies in Sweden hav
successfully handled the government
for last month the Swedish parlia-
ment gave a large grant toward
courses of temperance instruction for
teachers this year and next and the
city of Stockholm grants 1000 kroner
yearly to a permanent temperance ex.
hibition. The local veto bill has
been thrown out, however, by the
first chamber, though it passed the

CLUBS INSTEAD OF SALOONS.
Reading and Lounging Rooms Ar
ranged by Railroad Companies for
Use of Employees.

The Southern Pacific Company has
adopted the policy of building club
houses at division points, the main
object being to keep its employees
away from saloons. This is an ex-
cellent idea, says the Los Angeles
Herald. The Santa Fee has, for years,
had accommodations and comfortable
reading rooms at principal points. 1t
has gone further and has sent out lee
turers to speak on interesting topics
from time to time
The club houses so far erected by
the Southern Pacific Company for
their employees on the Pacific coast
include buildings at Roseville and
Dunsmuir, in California, and at
Yuma and Tucson in Arizona. There
is nothing cheap about the buildings
or the furnishings The cost ranges
from $4,000 to S35, 900 each, and they
are furnished with hot and cold
baths, Libraries OF fiction and refer
ence books, correspondence tables and
stationery, billiard and bath rooms,
game and recreation rooms, barber
shop, cigar counter, a restaurant
which is never closed, and large bed
rooms. From Is to % cents buys
a good meal, Is cents pays for clean
bed, and ten cents for bath.
The Chicago City Railway Com
pany is fitting up comfortable and
attractive club rooms for it's car men.
They will contain libraries, billiard
rooms, pool tables, barber shops,
bootblack stands, shower baths, and
assembly halls. with stages and
pianos.
This is an excellent idea. 1t is
not surprising to learn that these
club houses have been most success
full. AS frequently suggested, the
good people who are continually roar
ing about the rum fiend" and doing
impossible politics, could accomplish
vastly more good if they would only
establish substitutes for the saloon.
Think or say what you will about the
saying that the saloon is the poor
mans club, that saying is absolutely
true, all the same. Take, for in
stance, the gloomy, sloppy weather
that we often have in Los Angeles
early in the year Where shall
man go of an eevning, who is unmar
ried, and whose only home, perhaps,
is a cold ten by twelve bedroom in
a cheap lodging house. Have you
ever seen the sitting room" in one
of those cheap lodging houses? 1t
is enough to drive one to worse places
than a saloon.
Many men resort to a saloon of an
evening not so much for the sake of
the liquor-some of them perhaps
only drink a couple of glasses of beer
during an evening-but for the
warmth, and light, and cheerfulness
which they find there. Where else
are they to go? The Y M. c. A. has
accommodations for limited number.
but there you are expected to be fair
ly well dressed, and a wOrkingman
is often too tired to go and dress up
of an evening. Besides, at these es-
adjustments there is not the freedom
which men finland have a right to
eXpect-in a saloon.

DUTY OF NEWSPAPER
READERS.

In an article on this subject in the
Youths Companion, President Hadley
OF Yale, says in more forceful Ian
guage what has been said in these
columns again and again. After show
ing from historical argument that we
are governed by public opinion and
that newspapers are the greatest
molders of public opinion, he says:
eff we want responsible government,
we must have responsible newspapers.
II we are to have RESPONSE
BILE newspapers, the reform must be-
gin with the readers themselves. Most
of the men who edit newspapers will
give the people the kind of news.
papers they want. The aver
age editor will work for the average
reader. He cannot be any more indie
pendent of the man who buys his
goods than the manufacturer or mer-
chant can be. A manufacturer who
refuses to produce what the people
want because he thinks they ought
to want something better will be driv-
en- out of business, and so will a news
paper editor
This is sound doctrine in every
word. The circulation of the best
newspaper in any city, compared with
the circulation Of the worst, repre-
sents the number of people in that
community who support honesty and
responsibility as compared with those
who do not. The paper which is try
ing to be clean and Independent de-
serves the support of all the people
who admire independence. No good
citizen should encourage a yellow
sheet by so much as the expenditure
of one penny.
