with the exception Of Senator Wolfe
ard Assemblyman Schmitt, is lined up
with the governor. To be sure, the
delegation is made up Of men who
have been Democrats, Republicans, In
dependence Leaguers and Progressiyes
IN turn, but they are programers from
wherever the program is made, ami
this time it is the governor who Is
making the program tthat they take
with smiling faces.
So San Francisco has usurped the
position Of Los Angeles closest to the
gubernatorial heart. She is at last
"close up, right next 10 the pie wag
en-, nearest to the throne Of grace.
But some Of the practical politicians
are declaring that the laugh IS on
Governor Johnson in the matter of his
civil service reforms. This is the tale
they are telling to support the laugh:
Z The governor went into the state
institutions and when he found that
women wefc doing the same work as
men he insisted that they rhoild re-
eeivc raised pay till their pay en-
yelopes were on an equality with those
Of the men. When he found that the
mechanics were not getting as large
pay as wa the rule for similar me-
chanics in the different neighborhoods
he had the pay raised to local stand
ards. And then he put all the en-
ployes under civil service, so they could
not be turned out with every change
IN the administration.
What gratitude do you suppose
these employees showed him? That
where the laugh comes in.
Two year ago tho Progressives lost
the vote at Folsom, whore the state
prison ballota control This year men
On the San Francico water front pay
toll worked ipdu5triously for Freder
icks. The Aendocino asylum vote
went again Johnson.
But the csse Of Patton is most i'm
potent. At Patton, in Southern Cali
lorna, Is tate asylum, and the asy-
lum vote IS about the only vote there
"hen Johna11 ran against Alden An
Gerson for The Republican nomination
Tor governor Patton went 50 for An
oerson and orc for Johnson-sfld thev
hunted for weeks for the man VIM
feIi down" on the regulars ard their
program.
Ihen Jobn7pn, instead Of firing the
Ration employees, got the ballot for
the women and put them all under
civil service . they couldn't be fired
At the las election Patton voted 9G
ior Frederick 10 ~ for johnson. And
that Is why he practical politicians
say the laugh is on the governor.

LEGISLATURE OF A
THOUSAND SHORES
by Edward HamiltonJ

Sacramento, Jan. s.-~Ee have hsd
the Legislature of thousand steals,
there has besn Legislature q
thousand laughs and also a 1egisla
tUre of thousand drinks
This Is t. be known as the -legiz-
Iature Of q thousand snores.
For lack Of interest ard exciteneat
this session promises 70 Be far GU
in front Of any sitting in the history
of the tate. The lzbors u legisla-
ton have been gwen the twilight
sleep.
There Is not z real fight in sight.
TIE governor, never sanguine Entil
after full accomplishment, expects
hard battle Of his pct project Ct max
ing al state officials non-partisan.
But Il IS not going 70 be ary fight
At al. The measure Is Only at act,
and not q constitutional amendment.
Is it has been supposed. So forty
cne votes in the assembly and twenty
one IN the senate are al that viii be
necessary to pass the bill and make i
2 law. Those votes can be secured,
ard many more, whenever the cover
nor winks his fayoring eye. The biz
Is as good a passed now.
Beyond this the only chance for
good fighting seems to be on labor
bills like the anti-injunction law ard
the cement container. These we're
teaten at the last session and the
skids seem to be ready for them
again. Some Of the extreme Repub
licans and loyal Democrats who hope
for postoffices will throw IN measures
TO worry the administration, but the
governor forces are 50 overpower-
ing and 80 well in hand that it viii
be lucky if one Of the cid line legis-
lators is able to get any Of his an
noying bills out Of committee.
So it really looks now like the leg
isIsture Of thousand snores."
In looking over the field one Of the
strsngest political flipfIops is in the
standing Of the Los Angeles and San
Francisco delegations with reference
to the administration and the posi-
bilities Of executive favor
Now for four years last past, Los
Angeles has had everything her own
way. When Governor Johnson had to
count noses for the votes TO carry
through one Of his progressive pro-
jects he always could begin with Los
Angeles and depend on that big dele
cation for practically a solid vote.
At the same time ne had to pull hard
to get anything out Of San Francisco
to favor his most desired bills.
Naturally ME heart warmed rather
to the city and the county Of the south
than toward the metropolis Of the
Eorth. Los Angeles had it on San
Francisco when it came 10 a question
Of patronage or favorism But now
note the change. Los Angeles has
sent up To the assembly a delegation
very largely Republican and reaction
ary. She has one senator, Ballard.
who is wull Of anti-Johnson virus.
On the other hand, San Francisco.

WHO WILL FIGHT
CHAMPION WILLARD?
Ready To Defend Title But
No One Is Qualified To
Contest
By George R. Holmes.


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
New York, Nov. 16-The recent and
widely heralded announcement by Jess
Willard that ae will defend the title
hewon from Jack Johnson next March
has brought to light another situation
akin to that of several years ago when
johnson was in his prime. And that is
that there is no heavy now looming
up on the pugilistic horizon capable of
giving the champion a real champion
ship battle.
Since Willard barred the blacks, it
leaves but seven men who even by
stretching several miles of points can
be considered cOntenders. OF these,
perhaps Frank Moran, of Pittsburg,
stands the best show, but ring men
consider it a mighty poor best
Moran's chief claim to fame is that
he held johnson off for 20 rounds, and
that he knocked out Jim Coffey in
three rounds. There was a suspicious
odor to that johnson affair in Paris
which has never lifted, and his showing
against Coffey, oven while he knocked
him out, was not impressive.
The Roscommon giant was busily en-
gagged in building up victory on points
wnen Frank slipped over his sleep kiss.
Then there is that tremendous handi-
cap in size. Willard would stand full
head taller than Moran, would reach
four inches farther and have a big
advantage in the weight.
Frank 8 best friends do not claim he
is boxer And Willard 3 worst en-
emies will have to concede that Jess is
fairly clever for a big man.
Coffey has glass jaw which elm
mates him. Fred Fulton, the Mime
sofa Giant, is clamoring for recognition.
Fulton's claim to fame is his size and
the fact that he knocked out Arthur
PellSy.
About the only ones that haven t
knocked out Arthur are those who
haven 7 fought 1m. Fulton should
meet and lick such men as Coffey,
Weinert, Jack Dillon, Tom Cowler,
Gunboat Smith and three or four Others
before he can really claim to be a top
n0tcher.
Gunboat Smith S star is fast setting.
Charley Weinert licked the Gooner last
summer, and Charley in turn has lost
twice to Jack Dillon by big margins,
once by two.round kayo.
That should elevate Dillon, but Jack
fights best at ITO to 175 whica would
give Jess about 40 pounds in weight,
at least seven inches in reach and over
foot in height. Dillon, as good us
ho is, could hardly overcome those
things.
Tom Cowler is a big man, dug out of
the wilds by Jim Corbett, but he is as
yet untried against good men.
jess, 1t appears, is the king of all
he surveys.

NO EXTRA BEER FOR
EXTRA LARGE FAMILY
SAYSSTATE ATTORNEY
Grown Up Children AT Home
Do Not Constitute Separate
Families

A family consists of all of the per-
sons living in one household under one
head, according to Attorney General
Brown, and even though some of the
children may be of legal age and sup
porting themselves they do not consti-
tute q separate family as long as they
reside under the paternal roof This
ruling was made in response to an in.
quiry from citizen of the state as to
the shipment of liquor next year. I'M
der the law each family is allowed two
quarts of whiskey and two dozen bot
ties of beer each month and the inquir-
er stated that one of his daughters was
over 80 years of age and two sons
were over 25 and he wanted to know
if they could not secure additional
shipments on their part. The attorney
general, however, considers family, a
family whether it consists of two peo.
pie or a dozen.
Mr.. Browns definition Of family
follows:
"In its ordinary and primary sense
the term signifies the collective body
of persons living in one house, or un-
der one head or manager, or one do
nestle government, the relations be-
tween such persons necessarily being
of permanent or domestic character,
not that of persons abiding temporarily
together as strangers; household;
those who live under the same roof
with the pater families, who form his

however, Coach Mathews will take
charge of the work and will begin
series of eliminations of candidates for
the first squad; there is considerable
material this year in school, practically
all of last years team are back and a
number Of inter-scholastic stars will try
for places SO that Coach Mathews will
be able to build up strong team. He
stated that this years team would be
one that would strive to work in unison
and would use team work at all times,
as that was the only method by which
team can win victories.

The Mother Consents.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Mrs. Anna Boil
lingers baby was slowly dying today
sentenced by the verdict of the mother
herself, doctors and nurses, to end its
career without surgical aid because it
is subnormRl.
Born without one ear, deaf in the
other its head sunk deep between its
shoulders without any sign of neck,
the baby would grow up without a
chance in life, if surgery saved it,
both the mother and the doctors agreed
So they took ballot.
Should they perform an extremely
delicate operation in an effort to per-
nit the abdominal organs to function
or should they by inaction allow the
child to die before it had known the
misery of living death7
They decided 1T should be death
through inaction.
Tearfully, the mother agreed tnat
this method was best. Her husband
concurred So Anna Bollinger's babe
has no chance. It's life ebbed during
the day, and there seemed no chance
that the child would live another "a
hours.
When it came to making the tragic
decision, nurses in the hospital were
asked what the verdict should be. All
but one said death would be the most
merciful thing that could happen to the
child. The one though the babe ought
to live if modern surgery could save it
DR.. G.. S. Haiselden spoke the decid
ing word He felt the little one ought
to die through inertia.
cit is a question Of ethics" said
the doctor, who passed the death sen.
tence. "We all know that physicians
do not allow monstrosities to live. Tle
line must be drawn somewhere and /
have drawn the line in this case" f."
The babes malformation resulted
from its mothers illness, before It's
birth, of typhoid fever.
The death sentence aroused varying
opinions among prominent persons here.
:" 1t is an act Of mercy to let him
de-" said Rev. A. II. Anderson, pas
tor Of All Saints Episcopal church.
On the other hand, Mrs. Gertrude
Britton, prominent in tle feminist
movement commented, "If the child
could be saved, it should be"
Jane Addams of Hull House shared
this view.
"This childg as well as every other
child should be kept alive as long as
possible. If the child is defective, il
should be taught all it can learn. The
law says that only u Judge has tae pow
or to decide who shall die, and then
only for crime.
Circuit Judge Victor Arnold said:
:" | think il best for the child itself to
die. | do not care to discuss the legal
ity Of the action"
