TELEPHONES AND THE LAW.

TELEPHONES AND THE LAW.
 Has a telephone company the right to lay down rules with which its subscribers must comply on pain of having their instruments removed one. would hardly hesitate to answer this question in the affirmative, as suming that the regulations were reasonable. Some of the papers have hastily concluded that a different principle was laid down by the supreme court of Iowa in it's decision in favor of a subscriber who had been deprived of the use of a tele- phone for violating the acompany's rule against swearing. In this case, however, the patron had promised to comply with the rule if the com pany would restore his instrument. That places quite a different con- struction on the case. It may be that the courts decision would have been the same without this pledge, but we doubt it. The telephone is a public convenience, and telephone companies operate under a public franchise. it is true; but it would clearly be against public policy to say that they had no right to control their own prop erty to the extent of prescribing reg ,rIat tfpps and restrictions directly in the interest of public morals.

THE SHORT BALLOT IDEA.

An article which appears in last weeks outlook proposes the radical simplification of politics so that the people can master it's intricacies. This is good common sense. The long blanket ballot. which the aver age voter never even reads, consti- tutes a handy natural ambush for anyone who desires to exploit the public. By its compleXity it makes political machines necessary to pre- vent chaos, and if these machines are frequently corrupt, it is only be- cause their power and opportunities offer rich pickings to corrupt men and nothing but thankess labor to good men. Give a party organization power and the grafters will flock to it and will in time surely control it since they have a more compelling motive to keep them at work than the ordinary party member.
 On the other hand, if the ballot in clude only very few offices, all of which are important enough to at tract close public scrutiny. the aver age voter will absorb enough infor nation to enable him to pass inde- pendent judgment on each issue. There is hope in such a situation. Straight tickets are voted now be- cause the ballot is to the voter mere list of names. When the bal lot becomes a very short list of can didates who have become conspicuous by reason of their fewness, the good citizenship of America will. begin to vote for men instead of eagles and roosters and stars.
 The Galveston or Des Moincs plan of governing cities by a powerful commission of five is a short ballot plan. Likewise the English scheme of governing cities by a council of members elected singly by wards is a short ballot plan. The two types are both successful in producing the election of the best men term after term. It is because every voter knows which man he wants and no poli- tician can boss him.

or all the many mysterious products
Of the ocean, none can compare with the
sea-bean. Scientists are divided as to
its origin, as no one has ever seen the
shrub or vine on which it grows, and it
is never found save when the bosom of
the deep has been rent by hard storm,
when the sea-beans, cast forth from
some mysterious depth, are found scat
tered along the beach, derelicts of the
tide. There are numerous varieties,
large and small, and some are very rare,
especially the large liver bean, and the
banded bean. The savage tribes which
inhabit the South Seas regard them as
almost sacred, and look upon the lucky
possessor of one of the rare varieties as
particularly favored by the gods. Dusky
bellies, having in their possession these
rare products of the deep, will fight foi
their treasure against all corners, as they
believe that the sea-bean gives them un
usual power, especially in love, and that
any man on whom their affections are
set, must yield to their charms if theJ
but touch him with the lucky bean.
One touch of the bean binds their lover
to them forever.
Mr.. Leak, manager of the Stanislaus
county exhibit cars from California, is
the fortunate possessor of a rare speci-
men which has thrilling history which
would seem to prove the superstition OF
the savages of the South Sea Islands.
1t was given to hipi by sailor friend
who was wrecked mighty storm which
swept the tropical seas The sailor, IN
conscious and nearly dead, was washed
ashore on an island, and when he recov-
cred his senses he found himself sur
rounded by crowd of savage men and
women. They were cannibals, and his
fate would undoubtedly have been hor-
rible one, but suddenly a native saw
erasped in the sailors hand, ore Of the
rarest of the sea- beans. Where it came
from and how it happened that he heidi
when he was cast upon the beach he
never knew, but the superstitious ma
tives looked upon him as one especially
protected by the gods, and the bean
proved to him lucky one indeed for It
undoubtedly saved him from a terrible
fate. Some years ago Mr.. Leak be-
friended this old sailor in San Francisco,
and as a reward this lucky bean was
presented to him, and he values it high.

Leak in speaking of this bean, which he
has had made into watch charm, "but

Sherman took the oath at 11:12 p. m.

The ceremony OF the Inauguration
was accompanied with all due for

Notwithstanding the adverse condi-

main change was in modifying the
original program so that the inaugural
