AN EDITORIAL FOR EDITORS

Politics is quite game when those playing it keep from getting the political viewpoint that s the following viewpoint:
 That the other fellow is so bad he really ought to be locked up.
 That your man is perfect.
 That the really good work the other fellow does is merely playing to the gallery.
 That your man never makes mistake.
 That the supporters of your mans opponent recog nize ability in your favOrite without trying to crawl the bandwagOn and shove you away from the perquisites
 That you are being given a deal if the man you for doesn't immediately apOint you to fat job.
 That the world really depends on politics to keep it moving.
 Just now the editorial friends of Wickersham tend to forget the Golden Rule when they speak of Suzer and S gers cohorts of the pen and typewriter figure that Jim is under indictment Why not act about like you would want the other fellow to act you either of the two above mentioned?

FISHERMEN'S EYES

Anglers are the same the world over-the fish they catch is larger than it measures heavier than weighs and wtha more perfect than appears to others Sports who angle for the festive trout have monopoly in this for the husky hawer of the deepea set line also double when it comes to measuring his catch
 With ali candOr the men aboard big fishing steamer arriving in port recently numbered their catch which had not been weighed but merely cleaned and thrust into the hold at well above the sevenyve ton mark Then along came the man with the scales and calmly weighed the catch; it tOtalled little more than forty-five
 And men who follow the game say this holds good for the man who runs doIy or master of siXteen-hand schooner.

EXEMPTION PROBLEMS

Members of the various exemption boards who will consider the question of whether not drafted shall be sent to war face many problems The question of how vital is the work being done by the drafted will be the continual bone of contention Then there will be the question of dependent relatives In the final analysis very few entirely independent Some must suffer hard ship the result of this and the longer it continues the more rigid must be the decision of the boards
 The proposition to exempt Alaskan fishermen, who adding materially to the food supply of the land has it's merits and it is probable that those engaged in catching food fish the year round will not be taken.

award was made to the G. NJ c.. after
the committee had deliberated only

UNFAIR TREATMENT.

A few days ago immigration lnspec-
tor Albert Voligny received word that
he had been transferred from Oroville
to Winnipeg. This was the first init
nation that Mr.. Voligny had of an in
tended change, and it took him COM
pletely by surprise. Mr.. Voligny had
asked for change to some southern
point on account of his wife's health,
which had been promised him as soon
as an opening occurred. To take his
wife to the cold climate of Winnipeg
would be equivalent to pronouncing
her death sentence. and if the depart
ment cannot be induced to recind the
order Mr.. Voligny will leave his fam
lily here and go to Winnipeg alone
This is hardly fair treatment to an eff
ficient and Jealous official and one
who is veteran of the Spanish Amer
lean war. Mr.. Voligny has lived in
OrOville for several years, and has
made a record as an active govern
ment official. That record entities him
to some consideration through the
hands of the officials of the depart
ment under which he serves. He and
his family have made many friends
during his residence in Oroville, and
every effort is being made to have Mr.
Voligny retained at this point.

sumption developed. The inroads of the
disease made rapid progress until h
became but shadow of his former
self. Although his parents are still liv-
ing at an advanced age Mr.. LeichneI
would not inform them of his condi-
ton. A friend Loomis wrote to the
family stating his alarming condition,
and brother, Albert F. Leiclmer came
out Immediately.
The brother made arrangements at
once to take the sick man back home.
and he left with the patient last Thurs
day morning Mr.. Leichner was too
weak to stand the trip and succumbed
the second day out.
1t can be truly said of the deceased
that he was a man without an enemy.
He enjoyed the friendship of all classes
and his death will be deeply deplored
in the old camp where he resided for
SO many years. OF a jolly, genial and
happy disposition, Big Bill Leichner
won the hearts of all with whom he
came in contact. His friends were le-
|gion. Generous to fault square in all
his dealings, big hearted and whole
souled his memory will live long in
the hearts of all who knew him.

DISTRIBUTING WATER.

The Whitestone irrigation system is
finished out nearly as far as the old
Dave Smith ranch, near Whitestone
lake. The ditch has not been carried
out to the Whitestone flat proper. Ash
phon carries the water across the val
ley from the south to the north side at
the Loomis cemetery, and from there
is flumed to the narrow flat between
Spectacle and Whitestone lakes. A few
new houses have been constructed by
land purchasers and some new land is
under cultivation. This is a start at
least and in a few years every acre
under the system that can be cult
waited will be producing. The construc-
ton of this system has been an expen-
sive, undertaking. and represents
vast amount of labor Yet it embraces
some of the best land in the county
and in time the promoters should re-
ceive the reward that should crown
such an enterprise.

DEATH OF WIN. LEIGHNER.

Word was received here Friday last
that VIM. Leichner, of Loomis, had died
on the train in Montana while en- route
for his old home at Portsmouth, Ohio.
VIM. Leichner lived in Loomis for
twenty years or more, and for a long
time followed mining. He was an ex-
pert machine drill man, and physically
one of the most powerful among the
many men who have worked in mines
in this upper country. For about year
he lived in Oroville, but returned to
Loomis early in 1916 He was appar-
emily in his normal health until some
two months ago when miners con-
