It doss 70 with a much honesty Of pus.
pose ~ N commenting on any subject
and It bases Its opinions on the due and
inevitable relationship between known
area Of irrigated land and prospective
population.
Fresno, with but a fraction Of trib-
utary irrigated area, has now reached
a population Of $4,000. The Press has
predicted $4,000 in ten years for Ell
Centre, and believes it is right.
This is by way of illustration, but
the essential things are these:
The Press never undertakes to pass
on the motive o: any person. That is
left for infinite judgment.
The Press never wilfully neglects
any person nor purposely wounds the
feelings Of any person, but on the con-
trary almost daily suppresses news that
would help no one and might wound
some one.
The Press prideS itself that no per-
son can tell from its news columns
whom it considers its friends and whom
It's enemies.
And finally, the Press does put its
conscience into its columns, with the
purpose OF presenting truthful accounts
Of that which may be helpful or whole
somely interesting.

without t tssnss being eana!dsysd an
extremist, aud the editor OF the Preas
recently has received four friendly crit
icisms OF his work which seem to war
rant some comment here, for there
onght to be intimate understanding
between a newspaper writer and his
readers.
A farmer some weeks since made the
remark: "You must be good Chris
tian to be cussed as much as you are
| and never retaliate."
Another farmer more recently put 1t
thus: "In spite OF the fact that you are
doing more good boosting than any
ibody else, you are the most cussed
person in the valley"
| The third person, Is a former news
paper man, present real estate agent
and good critic. He said: 1T was you
who started this great rush OF people
to the valley"
| And the fourth one, a prominent
'awyer, said last evening: II like the
way you write of the city and the valley
and you undoubtedly believe what you
| write, but personally would not place
the population Of the future as high
| as you do"
| Begging forgiveness for thus intro
| ducing the personal element, It Is well
| to say that no successful newspaper
ever avoided getting cussed. Newspa-
per making has never been reduced tC

One person criticises US because we
have not noted favorable land decis-
ion received by him when he held in
his pocket the only notification of tho
decision and had not made IL known
A contractor who has never reported a
contract made by him objects because
the Press publishes news given in by
other contractors and not news Of his
work. And when scores OF men have
manifested offense without the writer
having the slightest idea OF the cause,
he learns to grease his skin that the
curses can run off like water.
Such criticism is an incident to the
newspaper business, is taken as part
Of the days work, and no attention is
paid to it.
But criticism that goes to the honor
or alleges inaccuracy OF the journal,
hits hard. There will be differences of
opinion. like that expressed by the
prominent lawyer last night, and a few
| times in life time there will be COM
pliments like that Of the real estate
man.
The one thing the Press does de-
sire is to present itself in candor and

son can be quoted on both sides OF
many questions, which is far from
true Of the real dOctrinaire of the
French type as we understand him. AS
an administrator Jefferson did much
that he had denounced when in the op-
position. In short, despite his unques-
toned greater intimacy with the course
Of French thought of the day than any
Of his peers among the makers Of the
nation, he was none the les sa typical
American dominated throughout life by
that willingness inpolitics to get what
you can when you cannot get all that
you want.
That Jefferson stood for a decentral-
lied rather than a centralized form of
government is true unquestionably,
but when great national opportuni-
ty came or when duty called he was
as quick to obey the signal for action
as President Wilson was in the CaIifor-
mia land law case. II jefferson had been
nothing but sentimentalist or doc
trinaire he never would have inspired
the support Of the men Of his time
as he did

r-hE REAL CONTROVERSY

Things are not always what the,
eem. Just now there is bitter contro-
ersy on in Los Angeles between fac
IONS OF the Progressive party led re-
pectively by E. T. Earl, publisher OF
ne Tribune and Express and by Never
-issner, chairman Of the Republican
tate central committee.
To those men the issue apparently
lppears to be a personal matter, but
viewed from this distance it appears
% be question how far the Progress
i've movement shall so In seeking the
root Of industrial, political and social
evils that undoubtedly exist In this
country.
The faction which Mr.. Earl leads
wishes to go as far as the roots them
Selves go-to the depth outlined rec.
ently in speech in New York by Vive-
President Marshall and later in the SEN
hte by Senator Works of California.
On the other hand, the faction led
by Mr.. Lissner is apparently as anxious
30 avoid disturbing existing economic
conditions as it is TO correct certain po-
itical evils.
Between the extreme stand pat
crowd and the extreme radicals there
are people of all degrees OF stand pat
bsm and all degrees of radicalism.
The situation parallels that Of the
period before the civil war, and Mr.
Lissner's attitude is apparently Of the
compromising character taken by Clay
and Douglas on the slavery issue, while
(Mr. Earl, refusing to endorse Socialism,
still recognizes great industrial evils,
and when the line is drawn as 1t Is in
Los Angeles by the city election, Mr..
|Lissner as naturally finds affiliation
with organized capital as Mr.. Earl does
with those who are seeking the thor
|ough regeneration Of industrial and
social conditions.
II is the old. old question-Which is
|the Greater. the man or the dollar?
And Mr.. Earl seems to think that the
man should have priority.

Thomas jefferson, q pemocr..

(Christian Science Monitor)
The memorial to Thomas jefferson
to be dedicated in st. Louis this week
will be theworthiest Of the many that
exist, says one, :he University Of Vir-
| ginia. Scarcely adequately has any gen.
Grafton, much less his own, appraised
the pioneer place that jefferson holds
a5 an educator and as thinker. Very
suitable this new memorial will be eGu-
catiOnal in its influence as well as re-
| fInlng with It's art. Thither will go
antiquarians and historians for use Of
the valuable archives that have TO do
with the Louisiana Purchase and the
beginnings of government and social
order over the vast region that Ma
nuleon surrendered 10 the United States
| for an insignificant srm.
JeffersOn's fellow Vjrginian succcs-
sor to the presidency, the present in
cumbent, in his essay on "A Calendar
Of Great Americans" denies the title
Of great American to the Welsh radi-
! cal who overthrow the conservative
Federalsts as completely as President
Wilson has downed the conservatives
Of his time A great man jefferson was,
| dulIuIS, Dul IoL III tiIC SoiilC Clooo
with Franklin, Henry Clay, Jackson and
Lincoln as men Of type that all Eur
0pe could not have produced. The
causes Of Jefferson's failure to be
typically American, as analyzed by the
president, are these: He was abstract,
sentimental, ratiOnalistic rather than
practical. Touched with the current
French political philosophy Jefferson
was good deal Of dOctrinaire. His
writings lack hard and practical sense.
1t was thus that critics also wrote OF
hinNerecisely what he is forced to ad-
mitH FoFH(ferson, namely, that "he
was I riattlq6 leader and manager OF
men, not because he was imperative
or masterful, but because Of native
shrewdness. tact and segacity, an in

newsboy days, is a product Of the
Sums During a demonstration
against a wealthy banker whose In
stitutlon had failed, he throws him
self in front Of the rich mans little
girl and thereby intercepts a bullet
meant for her.
The banker conceives a decent graf
itude and sends the boy to college in
the South. There he grows up filled
with love for Nature and imbued with
a feeling Of devotion to the little waits
with whom he passed his early years
After his graduation he returns to
New York at the solicitation of his
protector and there meets again the
young girl whose life he had saved,
now grown into a lovely young wom-
an.
Michael also meets the mother, who
tells him frankly he is not wanted.
He starts out to work his own way,
and his efforts to meet the old friends
and To reform them constitute the in
teresting part Of the novel
There are times when ones doubts
are uppermost For instance, II is al
most impossible to conceive Of any
mother talking as Mrs Endicott talks
She is too much Of a puppet and her
remarks smack Of the penny thriller.
But as far as MiChacls own story
is concerned it rings true and fur

be accomplished among the tene-
ments by one whose heart is really

MichaeIs successful efforts TO pre-
vent the wedding of his beloved starr
daughter of the banker, to a dlssipat

crude and melodramatic, but then it
Is just possible he may not have
known what else TO do.
In the end he marrics the girl he
has twice rescued. With a husband
like him it is a safe prediction that
she ought to live happily ever after.

The charm of the book lies in the

Anna Borden's Career.

A vivid illustration Of INDUCING in
career" to satisfy self and the
devotion Of self to a cause, Is Clev-
erly evolved in a novel entitled
Anna Bcrden's Career" by Margaret
Munsterbery. published by D. Apple
ton & Company.
Anna" is a beautiful girl. daugh-
ter of a wealthy Boston manufactur-
er, who loves herself dearly-and
adores the popularity that is accord
ed to her in diplomatic circles abroad
and in her home city. She rejects
marriage. although she loves her
sweetheart. she isn't ready to sac
rfice the thrills of a present general
popularity for the one popularity Of
being the wife Of even a rising young
English diplomat allied with nobility.
Anna" elects certain service for
herself in the limehght of careers"
thirsting for the thrills of the mo-
ment and hour She wearies of the
seriousness of apprenticeship for one,
and shifts into another where she is
conspicuous as the star. Again she
wearies of the tawdry work and the
cheap associations that she didn't
com prehend went with the job aC-
complishing which, she receives the
plaudits of the paltry little multitude
Then she yearns for thrills as wife
of a radical labor leader; soon she
wearies of this seCond-to-him popu-
larity seems rather relieved
when he meets with sudden death
She is Stunned by his followers be-
cause she demonstrates that she
serves self instead Of the cause FL
nally. she gets her own retribution
in the same line Of measure that she
dealt out to her father and lover
bitter retribution for abandonment to
a selhshness that she qualified as
Individual freedom in ambition to
accomplish a career"
This story of Anna conveys the
spirit of many women-and we may
say in passing that men likewise are
obsessed with this ruthless "tempera-
ment''-who manage themselves into
the discard pack" through their own
sacrifice of the happiness of others
to their own capriCious desires and
deeds.
This story is well constructed and
told without any waste of sentiment
and without high lights in its trag-
edies. But 1t is a sensibly poised
story with a sensible warning in the
evolution of its theme.
