 A motion had been made for unanimous consent fix today, January 20, the time for voting the bill relating interstate shipment of liquors. MT Shoot moved for a submission the the confusion, the presiding officer failed hear MT Shoot and while looking in another direction remarked that he heard objection the request for unanimous consent which had been presented rather unusual way.
 When the matter brought up the next day, nineteen senators before the finally dis posed of by the resubmisson the bill, took part the running debate Those MT. Shoot testified that he had objected unanimous Those farther away discoursed upon parliamentary procedure general the effect of the precedent setting aside the order which had been made.
 How much time consumed in this debate is known but at the of $7000 year for each senator, the waste of the time was certainly much serious matter the nation than the waste of white paper.

California Roads

An open letter by C. w.

Wilder president the Rdgway Publishing company. publisher of Everybody's Magazine and other periodicals. He has a winter residence Redlands Cal, and is among The foremost in the good roads movement.
 The letter is called by report by gineers adverse to the Banning Yuma route via Palm Springs along the salton Sea
 Mir Wilder calls attention to the fact that this had been approved by four engineers prac- ticabe. The state commission contemplates high way through the Imperial Valley, least the towns of Fl Centro, BrawIey and others with the coast, whether it is extended to Yuma not.
 should not ado,ted Imperial Valley towns would probably be reached from San Diego, shorter route but which MT Wilder points out would be a more difficult one and more expensive of maintenance. An advantage of the advocated by Wilder would be the nection of county seats highway running north and south which, he says, would seem to carry the provision of the law and inland highways"
 the views of MT. Wilder should be adopted, of course, that highway would become a link of the transcontinental highway that would pass through Phoenix. If the route from San Bernardino to Riverside should be adopted it would probably be- a link of a northern route for which the people of those towns working.
 This letter of MT. Wilder. though relating solely proposed California roads, is in line with letter by him citizen of Phoenix December 20 the subject of interoceanic in which he stated that the association was working a $1OO, 900 fund the Banning-Yu and that $4OOOO had then been raised.

pr. Moore and the Ground Hog

The weather bureau on Saturday night unncees- sarily tried to give by predicting fierce recurrence of winter. Let the weather bureau itself with giving warning of cold snaps and storms which it approaching, and abstain from prognostications days and weeks in advance. It knows about what kind of weather going to have month than the least wise of the of us.
 Scientific prophecy regarding the weather is necessarily range For long range predictions about late winters give the old reliable ground hog fathers. If Dr. Willis L. Moore thinks that he suppant the grounding in the affections the people he is very much mistaken.
 Neither is such prediction expedient one just now on the a change of administration, if pr. Moore wants to retain his job weather maker If the prediction should fail his reputation reliability will suffer If it should be fulfilled the wrath of the nation vii fall upon him for pro ducing a winter out season
 Again, say it would be better to leave these long winter predictions the grounding which is seeking favors from a democratic administration and is indifferent the pOpu- lar indignation any kind weather he may bring forth.

To Hitch the Tortoise
(Kansas City Starr

One of the new purposes of politics. which best expressed in the the progressive party is to bring the judiciary department of government into closer relation to the people. The recall of the judiciary, the referendum decisions Cor recall of decsions), the short elective of judges other propositions, each and all expressions of that purpose. The strength of each plan is greater than reasoned faith that it is scientifically the right plan. Very largely it is the imperfect con crete expression of the perfect abstract understand ing that something must be done
 And surely all must admit that conditions satisfactory and SAFE. A majority of the people of the United States Cat least of the west) do more feel that the subordinate federal THEIR courts than they feel that the courts of England, Germany China their courts.
 Now, a court ought nearly express the national community life than any other activity of government. Our common law started by judges simply declaring the customs of the people "The law the land" laid down by the courts has been time and again set up in opposition to execu- tive tyrannies. So it is not logical traditional condition that courts should be considered less in harmony with the politics pOy of the people than their executive and legislative representatives.
 The world the shoulders of Atlas and Atlas stood the tortoise; but what the tortoise rested on was disclosed. The American judi ciary couples much the position of the tortoise. Its place is very clearly defined in govern mental scheme and yet the fabric rests on it. That say, judiciary determines the rights of the the government. but there is nothing to determine the rights of the judiciary.
 The Creator of the world and Atlas and the tortoise might have recreated them The people. as creator, have it in mind to do something with THEIR scheme of Order-especially with the tor toise part of it.
