NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS YET
Status of City Court Remains Same,
With Candidates for Judge and
Solicitor Pressing claims

Status of City Court Remains Same,
With Candidates for Judge and
Solicitor Pressing Claims.
There have been no new develop
ments in the city court matter since
a majority of one vote was cast
against it in the recent election, and
subsequent opinion by Attorney
General Hall that, under the wording
of the law submitting the question
of abolishing the court to the people,
it was not voted out, as 6S voters
who participated in the election
failed to cast their ballots either
way
The opinion prevails that the stat
us of the court, before the ques-
ton of its adjustment is finally
settled, will be passed upon by the
supreme court. This can be done
by some defendant or litigant
attacking the legality of the
court or by the board of commits
sioners refusing to pass an order on
the treasury paying the officers Of
the court their salaries.
In the meantime the applicants
for the positions of Judge and solicit
tor are pressing their chains ON
Governor Brown, as it seems to be
generally understood that, acting on
the advice of the attorney general,
he will make appointments to these
positions.
Solicitor Yeomans, who was men
toned in the last issue of The News
as being an applicant for reappoint-
ment, says that he has not filed an
application, either written or verbal,
with the governor.

DISCUSSES THE QUESTION
OF PRIOR WATER RIGHTS

Editor Herald: I write this for in
formation. For instance, my equities
to water and land claims prior to any
other claims, and prior to the with
drawal for forestry, were so hampered
by claims of less value on the stream
below my point of diversion that it
rights below me to safely turn the wa
ter from the stream at my point of
diversion. l was trying to adjust said
claims with mine or purchase them, up
to the date of Roosevelt's conference
with governors of states, in regard to
the conservation of all such resources
to the best possible public use. At that
time people who had secured the rights
below me were building a canal, sup
posedly to use all the water in such
manner until they would have under
the old law a title to all the waters not
turned from the stream. My claim at
the head of the river included all that
could be turned at my point of diver
sion by gravity, and in my opinion was
of more value than all the river. L SO
stated in my statement of equities.
If special privileges have been grant
ed to the purchasers of rights below
me to enable them to take my claims,
1t is something they could not find in
the laws for the last twenty years
Well might Mr.. Pinchot ask, In whose
interest are we conserving the re-
sources? Should success attend the
trespassers on my rights, then all the
information 1 have had in the conser-
walton methods has been misleading.

ATTACKS NOISE NUISANCE
IN SONG, A LA WALT MASON

Editor Herald: With honks and
shrieks atrocious, the autos go fero-
clous, by day and night we listen to
their din, we try to keep on smiling,
our weary nerves beguiling, with the
thought there is no noise but cannot
win. In this glorious town of boosters.
where the gay and festive roosters send
out with voices clear their morning
calls, While with yelps and howls most
tragic, which cannot by any magic be
thought to seem like music as it falls
from a captive dog unruly, in his home
quite near yours truly (she is blessed
with ears not too unduly keen) who
would like to ask the reason, and hopes
1t issno treason to the power that be,
and was, and really might have been
why-with Tapping and with growing,
with yelping and with bowling, should
these loud continuous noises be al
lowed, when the accommodating ped
dler, who, with our comfort is no med
dler, can no more give word he's COM
ing to the crowd?
In this land where maids are prec-
ious, and peddlers' cries not vicious,
where milady with her own hand tends
the door, with horns and bells not
sounding, there will be an added
pounding, and tired feet must answer
quickly one knock more.
Would our city fathers listen and
make our glad eyes glisten, if 10 them
we'd send one vigorous appeal to sup
press those feathered creatures? To

~ Uncle Joe Cannon reads his
doom in the stars is needed than Is
to be round in the speeches he has
been making in Kansas. The old man
is making a sorry spectacle, answering
the blstering attacks of BristoW and

ties, garrulous inVectiVe, irreVerent ex-
CARNATIONS to the Deity and the old
appeal whereby the plunderbund so
long rallied support behind it-'stand

In his case the plea Is not without its
pathos, for he is tOttering toward a
political grave that the spirit of pro-
gress has dug for him, and he knows
it and cannot halt its steps, Not two
but many insurgents are using him for
a mark, and even some of his supposed
friends, after the habit of the rats
that desert the sinking ship, are turn
ing their backs on him in his hopeless
plight, for congressional candidates
everywhere are pledging themselves
against his candidacy for reelection.
one can almost hear those who are
still faithful to him and see his plight
echo the cry of the ring at Reno:
Don't let the old man be knocked
out Save him from a Knockout" The
old man must feel by this time that he
cannot come back. If he would throw
up the sponge his adversaries would
gladly let up, but so long as he per-
sists in his purpose to stand i'm the way
of progress the beaboring must and
will continue. His seconds should in
mercy take him out Of the ring.

The Law Against Cursing
lCharleston NeMs and Courierl


The last Virginia legislature passed
law making it penal offense Ito
curse another in his presence or hear
ing" The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot says
that this is the crystalization into law
of the old view that the passing of an
insult is equivalent to striking the first
blow. It is, although it does not give
quite the same advantage. Moreover, 1t
seems that the new law will require
careful study of the dictionaries to de-
termine what cursing is. For instance
II one man should say to another
II pray Providence to punish you and
yours" he. would be imprecating a
curse on him, cursing him, in fact, yet
it is hard to see why he should be sent
to prison for so doing. Many a good
preacher has to all intents and pur-
poses cursed the entire community, and
very Justly, sometimes; yet the idea
that the preacher for so doing should
be confined with hardened criminals IN
a state prison is preposterous.
A curse, very often, like chicken,
comes home to roost, as Roosevelt first
remarked. we believe, although the
saying was at one time attributed to
Solomon, and very often he who curses
is the one who gets cursed, ProVl-
dence seems to take care of that, ana
the state of Virginia, renowned as IL
is, is not yet to be considered Provl-
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-21


dence. There is, 1t seems, no word in
the language which adequately defines
what the Virginia legislature evident
ly means when it referred to cursing.
There are a number of words that are
commonly accepted as distasteful, un-
gentlemanly, vulgar and disgraceful.
Those who use them are said to swear
or curse, but a man may swear or
curse and not use any disgraceful Ian
guage whatever. 1t is true that almost
all of our curse words carry with
them the idea of a curse in the sense
of condemnation, whence probably
they came under the definition. but
there are countless expressions that
do not partake in any way of the
nature of a curse which nevertheless
are understood as curse" words. A
man may say "hell' in such way as
to shock everybody, or he may say 1T
in such a way as to do lot of good.
We imagine that Virginia will have
a hard time in enforcing the law which
has Just gone into effect, as the courts
doubtless will have a difficult time in
terpreting it. We imagine that 1t will
resolve itself into a question of fact To
be determined by the jury. However,
we are inclined to agree with our con-
temporary that the new law will never
be enforced unless indeed it be used
by some murderer as a means of es-
cape from the electric chair.

UP TO CALIFORNIA

H HOSE minions of the old machine

like Clifford Pinchot is welcomed in
California at this time both by Demo-
crat and by Republican.
Pinchot is nominally a Republican,
but he has left us in no doubt that
he is a thousand times more earnest
for a principle than for a party, and
would rather see his party go down
hying the flag of principle than
triumph by surrender to the plumber
bund of organized private greed. And

it honest. He got up the Municipal
Voters league and was its first presi-
dent The politicians almost laughed
themselves into apopleXy at the ridicu-
lousness of the thing. After a while
they quit laughing and began to curse.
It only took three or four elections to
do the business. The majority Of the
council was honest, and it has staid
honest ever since Ask the people of
Chicago who did it and they name
Kent first and then several others, for
it was more than any one mans job.
Kent is now n Californian, a rancher
and a large land owner in this state
and elsewhere. He is a very wealthy
man and a keen business manager.
The most beautiful piece of land in his
possession was under Mount Tamal-
pals, covered with enormous redwoods.
This he gave to the national govern
ment, to be used as n public park. Mr..
Roosevelt wished to call 1t the Kent
wood, but this did not suit Mr.. Kents
ideas of propriety and he suggested
that it be named Muir wood, which
was heartily agreed to by the presi-
dent, who is a sincere admirer OF the
great naturalist. And everybody who
knew him said: well, II that isn't just
like Billy Kent"
Here is a man of deep and genuine
convictions, courageous, independent,
forcible lover of the people and
student of political issues. Time out
of mind he might have been running
for office if he had wished that kind of
thing, but he waited and did his citizen
duty on the outside. Now he offers to
serve the people of his district as their
representative in congress, and the
event is regarded by the leader of
the conservation movement, Clifford
Pinchot, as of such national import
ance that he will come out to the coast
in order to speak in Mr.. KentsA behalf.
1t is to be hoped that the Republicans
of the second district will rise to the
opportunity that is afforded them.
They are in great luck
