Our old friend J. C. Ord of Bay City showed a clean pair of heels to a field of three opponents in his contest for the democratic nomination for supervisor of the second district in Saturday's convention. Out of 23 votes cast in his district convention he captured 12 on first ballot, defeating W. T. Newland, the well-known peatland politician, who polled 3 votes. Judge Ord believes in publicity. His announcement as a candidate for the office was published in this newspaper, and was seen all over the district. His card as the regular democratic nominee appears in another column today. The attention of our readers in the second district is directed to it. Judge Ord is one of the pioneers of Bay City, and conducts the Morning Star grocery at that popular beach resort. He occupied for several years the responsible be after. He should port of every license county, as well as even voter. He is probably qualified man in the office.

The attention of our readers in the second district is directed to it. Judge Ord is one of the pioneers of Bay City, and conducts the Morning Star grocery at that popular beach resort. He occupied for several years the responsible position of township justice at Los Alamitos, dealing out justice to all alike. The Judge is a veteran of the union army, and is qualified by uprightness of character and integrity to fill the office which he seeks, or which is seeking him. The soft winds that blow up across the raging Santa Ana tell of impending treachery to the republican ticket. It cannot be. No man who has been honored by his party year in and year out, should sulk in his tent when suffering defeat, much less talk of "getting out his knife." No! No! Let us hear no more of it. There would only be political ruination in it for himself. The regular party nominee would not be defeated thereby. Let us hear no more of it. Speaking with a licensed saloon keeper the other day, he informed us that it is the purpose of license men throughout this district to vote against S. M. Davis, the republican nominee for district attorney, because he will probably have the endorsement of the anti-saloon league. This course, we submit, would be rather a foolish one for license men to pursue. Mr. Davis as district attorney will have no more to do with a licensed place of business than any one else in the community. It is the unlicensed places which he will be after, and now that rate legislature accomplished fact, it may by some people what the enlarged Interstate Commission is going to do. It is safe to say that the work enough for all seven commissioners provided the new law. Heretofore mission has been more than anything else, and more or less on the lines preme court, only instead exclusively in Washington or elsewhere exigencies of the situation ed and heard the complaints were brought to it by the It is worthy of remark that the complaints were brought railroads. They were ate a situation with were perfectly satisfied. But even the most off-plaints of the shippers r to a hearing. Numerous hearings were, nine-tent cases were settled out of were, and this was really of work that demanded the attention of the commissioner. Heretofore, also, the co always worked together. Missioner was assigned to ticular duty. But in the created by the Tillman resolution, the commission that it had to split, and ing before Judge Prouty missioner Clements was his oil business in Cleveland other on the coal roads was the rest of the commission adelphia. With a larger with the growing railroad have the endorsement of the anti-saloon league. This course, we submit, would be rather a foolish one for license men to pursue. Mr. Davis as district attorney will have no more to do with a licensed place of business than any one else in the community. It is the unlicensed places which he will be after, and in this he should have the support of license men the county over. The anti-saloon league may be said to have some positive ideas upon the "beverage liquor traffic," but its endorsement of any good man should not turn away license people from his support. If he is otherwise fitted by experience and ability, by honesty and integrity, to fill the office, such endorsement should not lose him votes among those who differ with the league in their views upon the license question. Mr. Davis will give his attention rather to violators of the county prohibition ordinance, and in this should have the support of license men. Why not? They pay their license regularly in advance. The other fellows do not pay at all. Why should a self-respecting license man be made to pay, while a blind-pig scalawag alongside of him is permitted to dispense liquors in open violation of the law? It is these kind of law breakers the district attorney will create by the Thinman resolution, the commission that it had to split, and going before Judge Prouty missioner Clements was his oil business in Cleveland other on the coal roads was the rest of the commission adelphia. With a larger with the growing railroad of the country, it is likely commission may now splice and simultaneous hearing held in Washington and S. cisco. And it is possible court review feature to there may be one or twoSIONers always engaged in ing the rulings of the boo the courts. This is the specialization, and it is not that the Interstate Commission mission will escape. Here is more likely that the commission will seldom be all found place, and if the commission up to its privileges and att earn its salary under the there will be work enough eleven of the commission they will not get much ho the summer either. The directors of the State cultural society have decided fer cash prizes for the best choirs in this state, and to they would have church choir the fair from all parts of Ca after. He should have the supsence of every license man in the county, as well as every republican man. He is probably the best qualified man in the county for the state. He ought to be elected. The public printer will be fully employed till the next meeting of press explaining how that $3,-1000 appropriation got into theury civil bill after both houses voted to cut it out. Watchers on the Bryan battle-s have not yet noticed any kind of dust hurrying toward them on the road from Princeton. Now if the Chicago packers really want to do the proper thing, they must present Chairman Wadsworth with a silver plated cane. Is about the limit of ordinary business when a gentleman gives his seat to a lady in the street?

They believe that those visitors to the fair who by reason of their situation are denied, except on rare occasions, the privilege of listening to the best music of the human voice as exemplified in the choirs of some of the larger churches, are entitled to the benefit of this refining and elevating influence, and therefore invite all well-trained choirs in California to come to the fair and contribute their part to the music features. As an inducement for choirs to accept this invitation the directors offer $500 to be distributed as prizes among them, as follows: For the best choir of four voices or more, $200; for the second best choir of four voices of more, $150; for the third best choir of four voices or more, $100; for the fourth best choir of four voices or more, $50. The prizes will be awarded by a disinterested and competent jury, carefully chosen for the purpose. AS TO THE CONGRESSMAN. The esteemed Riverside Press, whose editor went to Washington as Congressman Smith's private secretary, continues lustily to beat the tom-tom in favor of returning the Kern statesman to congress. It seems to take little stock in our statement that Smith will in all probability be sequestered from the Eighth congress district by the next THAT rate legislation is an explained fact, it may be asked the people what the new and interstate Commerce commission is going to do with itself. Safe to say that there will be enough for all seven of the new missioners provided for under law. Heretofore the commission has been more of a court anything else, and has worked far less on the lines of the suc-court, only instead of sitting lavely in Washington, it sat Washington or elsewhere as the ties of the situation demand heard the complaints that brought to it by the shippers. Morphy of remark that none of complaints were brought by the ends. They were able to cre-rituation with which they perfectly satisfied. Even the most of the com- of the shippers never came hearing. Numerous as the were, nine-tenths of the were settled out of court, as it and this was really the sort that demanded the largest sum of the commissions. Before, also, the commission worked together.

But in the emergency by the Tillman-Gillespie commission, the commission found lead to split, and one hear- Judge Prouty and Com- Clements was held on the press in Cleveland while an- the coal roads was held by of the commission in Phil- With a larger force and growing railroad system The esteemed Riverside Press, whose editor went to Washington as Congressman Smith's private secretary, continues lustily to beat the tom-tom in favor of returning the Kern statesman to congress. It seems to take little stock in our statement that Smith will in all probability be sequestered from the Eighth congress district by the next federal census, and bases its opinion upon the facts and figures following: "Under the new apportionment it will require from 200,000 to 225,-000 population for a congressman. The four counties of San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange and San Diego promise to have 150,000 to 160,000 population when the next census is taken. That is quite a good many people shy of enough for a congressman." The population of the four southern counties will probably be nearer 200,000 in 1910 than the figures here quoted from the Press; yet accepting its figures as approximately correct, it overlooks San Antonio county, which will undoubtedly be formed out of Los Angeles county before the next census is taken. The Press admits Los Angeles county will be consolidated before 1910, but omits to mention that Whittier and a large belt of contiguous territory numbering 20,000 people will inevitably become a part of Orange county, and thus be transferred to the Eighth district. San Antonio will have a population of not less than 25,000, and this new county will inevitably be included in the Eighth district. Of course it is too early to speculate upon the lines of congressional districts here in California by the time of the next census, but does it not sound reasonable that the five southern counties (including the new county of San Antonio) will be placed in a district by themselves? And having population sufficient to entitle us to a congress- the commission found road to split, and one hearre Judge Prouty and Commer Clements was held on the access in Cleveland while and the coal roads was held by of the commission in Philadelphia. With a larger force and a growing railroad system country, it is likely that the commission may now split oftener multaneous hearings may be Washington and San Franand it is possible with the view feature to the law, that may be one or two commissions engaged in defenslations of the body before its. This is the day of ation, and it is not likely Interstate Commerce comwill escape. Hereafter it likely that the commission from be all found in one and if the commission lives privileges and attempts to salary under the new law, be work enough for all the commissioners and not get much holiday in ever either. Directors of the State Agriociety have decided to offrize for the best church this state, and to this end have church choirs visit from all parts of California Of course it is too early to speculate upon the lines of congressional districts here in California by the time of the next census, but does it not sound reasonable that the five southern counties (including the new county of San Antonio) will be placed in a district by themselves? And having population sufficient to entitle us to a congressman, why should we not now prepare ourselves to take advantage of the situation? That Kern county will be sequestered from the Eighth district by the next federal census, we have not the least doubt. That is why we oppose Mr. Smith's renomination. Besides, his record in attempting to hold up the Owens river conduit right-of-way bill smells fishy. The attitude of the president upon this bill was manly and straightforward. That of Mr. Smith—well, it smelt like two dead fish. F. K. Marter of Placentia was arrested on Monday and locked up in the county jail on a charge of obtaining property under false pretenses. Marter was arrested by the police in Los Angeles on information sent them Santa Ana. Constable Smithwick brought the prisoner down and he was taken into court immediately. At his request his arraignment was put over until such time as he could consult an attorney. Marter is a rancher at Placentia, where he lives with his wife and family. He came recently to this section from Boston where it is understood he was in the life insurance business and was a man of prominence.

Investigation followed the return of the check and, it is alleged, showed that he had no account at the bank. It was learned that he had purchased property at Riverside, said to be worth $25,000, but that it was not paid for. When he was arrested he was without money.
