pcople to believe that he was incap-

Now Auditor Ciausen and his chief
deputy, Fred Jameson, are the most
aorgiving souls in the state. They are
tolerant almost to fault and gener-

WILL PUSH WORK

Word has been received from E. S.
Campbell, manager of the Golden
Zone mine now in st. Louis, that he
will be back in Oroville in few days
prepared to push work on the Zone
with renewed energy. The starting
up of the mill will be a part of the
programme when he gets back to the
mine. An impression prevails that
frost nipped the pedals of those be-
hind this mining venture, and an in
clinatiOn to drop active work was felt.
but the recent handsome strikes in
the lower workings have had a re-
vivifying and invigorating effect. Con-
sidering the slow process of obtaining
results in quartz mining, where heavy
expenditures are necessary at the be
ginning before there is hope of a
showing, it is not surprising that
those new to the business should COM

not met with at stage in the pro-

recent developments in the way of
striking large ore deposits of choice
quality is sufficient to put cheer into
a weakening corporation and encour-
age renewed exertions. The Zone is
so fortunately situated as to access to
transportation, being directly on the
railroad, that if it can be made a pro-
Queer 1t can be worked and the ore
treated at minimum of cost with
maximum of returns, and those most

SOME FLOSSY HAT

Our own dear governor has a thir-
teen dollar and half hat. Does that
correspond with your ideas of simple
JeffeTsonian democracy, about which
we hear so much in these unregener-
ate times? Can you imagine the mode

tlon,r1ding his nag to the capitol under
splendiferous$13.50 top piece? Some
how or other the picture don't jibe
with our conception of the man IL
lacks harmony, or balance, or pro-
portion, or something. But place this
glorious head gear ON one who boasts
not only of his Jeffersonian democ-
racy, but also OF his craving for econ
cmy and the discord is frightful to
behold. Yet it is true, deplorably,
undeIiably true. that Ernest spent
thirteen great big, round simoleons,
and one half of another, for such n
simply piece Of wearing apparel as
hat. If you were truly economical,
do you think that you would appro-
pirate so much for personal adorn-
ment? In Ernest it is unaccountable.

GREAT PRINCIPLE INDICATED

The recall of judges, the keystone
in the arch of progressive principles,
is at last a demonstrated panacea of
genuine virtue The press dispatches
from San Francisco last week tell OF
it being invoked to GUST police judge
in that city, and the dispatch naively
declared that the first application of
the recall of the judiciary has been
successful" Successful how? Be-
cause Il judge who had been proven
beyond a question of doubt unfit for
his place was discharged? No, not
that, but because a judge was yanked
off the bench without the trouble, de-
lay or inconvenience of trial of any
Kind. The infallibility of the popular
verdict was established beyond cavil
and the will OF the people made SUI
preme by the narrow margin of 815
votes out OF total of 60,629 cast at
the election, only small per centage,
by the way, of the total possible vote
in the district.
The police Judge was named Weller.
evidently an unpopular name with the
voting fraction of the population of
San Francisco. He was charged with
incompetency because he reduced the
rail of q man accused of white slav
sry. This action aroused storm OF
protest from the women, and they Sc
cured enough signatures to bring
about a recall election. They nomin-
ated a man named Crist to run against
Weller, and then, with the calm de-
liberation and spirit of strict fairness
so chacteristic of q mob, they invited
Weller to defend himself at a public
meeting. When the accused police
Judge appeared to present his defence,
this square deal audience hooted him
off the platform without wasting time
to hear his argument This action, OF
course established his guilt with
0ut all peradventure and he was
recalled by a vote of 30,722 to 29,907
40 means has as yet been devised
rnder this popular rule system for
.rnishing the 29,901 who voted for
lie retention of This guilty. Judge They
were evidently as wrong minded as
The man they supported, and it does
seem that they should be treated as
accessories after the fact. The atti-
tude OF the great majority of the peO-
pie of San Francisco who did not vote
Is of no consequence. They had the
privilege of voting, but since they
failed to exercise that privilege they
should be considered as though they
we're not. The people, popular gov
trnment, true democracy, the square
deal, the new deal, or whatever you
| care to regard it, was indicated and
enthrOned in Frisco by a margin OF
| 815 votes, and the recall of the judic-
| larry established firmly as great
| principle of business, fairness and
| equity, the very palladium of our lib
critics. In other words, it was sue
| cessful. So successful in fact that
since the result of the election all OF
the police courts in the city of San
Francisco have ben soaking bail bonds
up to the limit against every sort OF
accused brought before them. They
have become so severe in this respect
that general protest is brewing
against the practice, and there is pros
pect of another recall to undue the
result of the first.
