A Good Nominee.

Democratic candidates are appeal

for office but there is not a single
Democratic candidate appealing to
Democrats to support Mr.. Cunning

Democrats would use Republicans

Along the line of expenditure and

The growth OF the state in popu-

cover that in proportion to the adj

ing more frugally and economically

than ever before, but there is less
Iextravagance in expenditure. less
waste and less graft in proportion to
actual legitimate requirements OF

The record set forth in detail in cold

Charles H. Hughes Gives Police
Views on Motor Car LunaCy'

ST. LOUIS, July 9.-If you have hes
itated for d word to describe those
weird walls from automobile horns and
sirens, read what DR.. Chas. H. Hughes,
neurologist, has to say of them. DR..
Hughes thinks that even the observa-
ton ward at the city hospital is none
too bad for the joy-riders who make
such noises. He gave vigorous express
sion of his views in a letter which
reached Chief of Police Young. as fol-
lows:
Dear Col. Young-Is there not some
way of stopping the reYelry of un-
bridled motor car lunacy on the streets
where sensible people are trying to live
and sleep and rest a little these warm

ON DESERT RANCH
Government Fosters Industry by
Helping Growers Get
Start with Trees
EXCELS IMPORTED PRODUCT
Home Grown DeIiCaCy Sells for a
High Price at Fashion
able Hotels
ExcELs IMPORTED PRODUCT

r. w. Stephens 247 South Flower
street, reports that great success is
being met with in the date industry in
the desert at Indio, Riverside county,
100 miles east of Los Angeles. Mr. Ste
phens owns a ranch of 100 acres at that
place. which he eventually hopes to
cover completely with date trees. At
the present time he has 10000 plants
growing and about eighteen acres in
cultivation.
Many years ago a date tree planted
for ornamentation by the Southern Pa
cific railroad at Indio was found to be
heavy with ripe dates. Immediately
the government established an expert
mental station at Indio, and it now has
a number of trees six years old bearing
punches of dates Weighing from TWEEN
ty-flVe to fifty pounds each.
The government supplies rancherS in
the vicinity with seeds and shoots. Mr..
Stephens has been given 1900 two
year-old plants. Government expert
ments have proved the practicability of
date culture in the desert, and many
persons have taken it up.
The home grown dates now bring as
high as 81 q pound from fashionable
hotels. They are far superior to i'm
ported fruit. Trees several years old
are worth hundreds of dollars. One
man at Indio recently received 500 for
four small shoots. The trees bear fruit
after they are three years old, and have
been known to bear when 1000 years
old. Thousands of acres in the desert
may at some time in the near future,
says Mr.. Stephens, to be given over to
the industry.

Supervisors Pridham and Manning Wig
orously opposed their stand and the
deadlock was not broken when the
board adjourned at the noon hour yes
tetrday.
Supervisor McCabe opened the pro-
ceedings by making motion TO take
under advisement the bid of the Cali
fornia Furniture company and reject
ing all others, giving as his explanation
for making the motion that the board
should cut out items on the bid that
were not needed. Just a few minutes
previous to Supervisor McCabe's MAX
ing the motion, j. L. Davidson, repre-
senting the Van Dorm Iron works, had
been denied the privilege of submit
ting additional figures to accord with
the wishes of the supervisors.
Supervisor Manning favored the re-
lection of all bids and calling for new
ones on definite specifications to be
decided on by the board, but this was
objected to by Eldridge and McCabe.

visors did not wish to give the Van
Dorm bid any lengthy consideration,

Raisin company, armed and protected
by patents on a process of seeding
raiains, hold the growers by the throat
with q relentless grip.
QUIT BROKERS
If the walnut growers would learn a
lesson of the fig tree they would
see that the sooner they get out of the
clutches of the brokers the better The
plan, working and utility of the ex-
change organized by associations for
pooling and marketing the crop is no
longer an experiment. 1t has been
thoroughly tried and proved a success
by the citrus growers of California.
If the philosophy is true that there is
a cause for everything, and nothing
ever happens, the result of our in
dustry is in our own hands 1t is by
way of the loyal cooperation of the
growers and a pull all together.
There Is before me a brokers' letter
of recent date, a copy has been ad-
dressed to the growers about the coun-
try. 1t contains a sinister design TO
weaken and destroy the association by
inducing its members to sell indepen-
IDENTIFY to the brokers. The letter con-
tains an offer to buy directly of the
growers on more satisfactory terms
than If sold through the association,
and informs the growers Nthat they
would be legally immune from damages
if they refused to deliver their crop to
the association. No doubt the brokers
would be delighted to see the growers
enter into competition against each
other. Scatter the sheep and the wolf
gets fat. We should stand closer to-
gether and all the growers outside the
association come in and help boost.
The outside growers are getting bene-
fits that the association has secured,
while they contribute nothing to main
tain them. The labor unions strenu-
ously call wage carriers who do not
cooperate with them "scabs" because
they reap the benefit of wages the
unions have secured and maintain.
People will be looking for Doodle IN
everything where politics is reeking
with graft and the air is full of the
malaria. There appears to be little
opportunity for it in, the management
of the walnut associations. In the
present system of selling it is possible
where it comes in touch with the brok-
ers, the point most remote from the
eye of the grower. The brokers bear
down the price for the grower. If the
associations agent chosen to agree on
the price is repeatedly acting with the
"bears," in this there is cause for sus-
picion that he is working for the brok-
ers and himself. JOHN WOOD.

ITALIAN SOCIALIST
PARTY At CRISIS
Lack of Direct Touch with Work
ingmen Cause of Appar-
ent Decline

ROME, July S.-The Italian Socialist
party is passing through a severe cri-
sis, of which the outward sign is the
resignation by Signor Bissolati, the
ablest man of the party, of the edi-
toship of the official organ of the par
ty, the Avanti.
The real cause of the failure of the
Italian Socialist party in parliament is
a defect common to nearly all polit-
zeal parties of Italy-lack of direct
touch with the working classes. Out
of the sos Italian deputies there is only
one bona fide workingman Gust as
there is only one convinced free trader)
and even the Socialists, with that ex-
cetpion, are all professional middle
class men without practical experience
of manual labor Thus their socialism
Is apt to be that of the chair, aca-
demic and lifeless, while Of late times
many circumstances have tended to
make them obey the crack of the min
isterial whip, especially when Signor
Giolitti, that great master of the art
of parliamentary management, was in
power.
The reason for this is obvious. In
Italy the bureaucracy is supreme and
it centers in the minister of the inte-
rior, who is invariably prime minister
also In order to obtain favors for the
numerous cooperative societies which
the workmen have formed the Social
list deputies. like their non-Socialist
colleagues, have to haunt the ante
chamber of the home office, and the
minister, especially if he be Signor Clio
litti, naturally expects that those whom
he thus favors win not oppose him too
truculently in the chamber. Hence the
Socialist vote is usually cast against
ministry only when there is no fear
of ministerial defeat. Moreover,
some of the best intelects in the party
have become moderate and monarchi-
cal.
Thus Signor Bissolati, although a So
cialist, represents the most aristocratic
and richest division of Rome which
comprises the Quirinal, and he knows
that he owed his election to monarch
list votes cast for him in order to keep
out a clerical. He has TO act accord
ingly. Signor Ferri, again, has publicly
said that he was willing to take office
and has been congratulated by the
king on a brilliant lecture. Thus Italian
Socialism is. on the down grade But
even conservatives may regret one
thing-that in Italy the working classes
like the aristocracy are practically
unrepresented; it is the bourgeois who
rule absolutely, for in Italian politics
the aristocracy does not count.

FINES NEWS AGENCY FOR
SELLING INDECENT BOOK
South African Judge Holds That
Cousin Laura Is Immoral

JOHANNESBURG, July 9.-The Cen
trail News agency, limited, one of the
largest news agents in South Africa,
has been fined $50 or fourteen days
(the person proposed to be attached in
case of nonpayment being its manag-
ing director, A. V. Lindergh), for SELL
ing a translation by Miss H. Hayes of
Marcel Prevosts Cousin Laura"
The chief witness for the police was
Mr.. Vachell (brother of the novelist
by the same name) ,.who gave it as his
view that a book which was not fit to
be read by the average youth or young
woman was not fit to be sold.
The witnesses for the defense in
cluded Howard PIN, the chairman of
the Johannesburg public library, who
gave it as his view that Cousin
Laura" was emphatically not indecent
and that it dealt with an important
phase of life. Mr.. Cartwright, editor
of the TransVaal Leader said that OBJ
1ectionabe isolated passages could be
taken from various great books, but
that work must be judged as whole.
and John Stuart a reviewer, quoted
a remark of Coleridge to the effect
that the person whom this work could
corrupt must be far gone in corruption.
This was all to no purpose. The sti-
pendary magistrate, Mr.. Gill. held that
he was bound by the decision in Regina
VS.. Hickling in 1888, to declare the book
indecent.
When Mr. Stuart made reference to
the Bible and Shakespeare the magis-
trate Indignantly stopped him. saying
that he was not entitled to institute
such comparisons.
The case will be appealed.
