SENATORIAL COURTESY Word comes in a roundabout way from Sacramento that Assemblyman Estudillo of Riverside will be next year a candidate for senator from the Thirty-ninth district, composed of Orange and River-side counties, and that as he is backed by the railroad organization he will probably be nominated by the senatorial convention. For so long a time that the memory of the oldest inhabitant runs not to the contrary, it has been the practice in the Thirty-ninth senatorial district to swap candidates for the senatorial toga, first one county taking the honor and then the other. Who originated this color scheme we are not prepared to say, but it dates back to a time, as we say, when the oldest inhabitant knows nothing to the contrary. But the pact was broken in the last campaign, when Riverside came down, like a wolf in the fold, declaring its intention to renominate Senator Caldwell. That it failed in its attempt and that Senator TOPOGRAPHY Following almost part with the ridge of the Sierra, the Pacific ocean forms the boundary of California, giving more than 1200 miles coast to the state. With a width of two hundred and 800 miles, California peculiar as well as plea graphical appearance. The clad range of the Sierra forms a watershed where streams in almost countless bringing life to the fertile below. The various passes the ranges of mountains wind out like a fan and force as it sweeps over the below. The interior port state lies in two valleys,imento and the San Joaque combined length of more miles and an average width miles. The surface of the is almost as level as a floor formed of rich alluvial dune bed of an ancient sea. Following closely the coast runs a lesser mountains, meeting the Si north at the high peak and on the south, across hachapi, forming a mountain around the great centre. This great mountain wall peculiar condition as temperatures throughout the thermal lines of Cali north and south instead of west. From the extreme line to where Mexico to southern border, all the color scheme we are not prepared to say, but it dates back to a time, as we say, when the oldest inhabitant knows nothing to the contrary. But the pact was broken in the last campaign, when Riverside came down, like a wolf in the fold, declaring its intention to renominate Senator Caldwell. That it failed in its attempt, and that Senator Two-spot Anderson came forth as the get of that political sewing bee, is not to Riverside's discredit. Orange county outvoted her, even as George Frost and Jim Mills were about to come to blows upon the subject of sky-scrapers and mudscrapers. Riverside having broken the pact, what about the turn-about swap next year? Is Orange county to have a candidate? If it have one, it will be doing nothing more than was done by Riverside in the last campaign. That Riverside did not nominate Caldwell was not the fault of that county. It exhausted its efforts in his behalf. The convention is a long way off, but this practice of Riverside playing fast and loose with this county fails to set well upon stomachs of voters hereabout. Orange county may have a candidate next year. Senator Anderson himself has said it. He has not tired of the game, and his advocacy of Mr. Harriman's four-track bill seems to indicate that he is rather anxious to line up with the push. But whether it be Anderson or some other patriot, Orange county will not soon forget Riverside's effort to cram Caldwell down its throat. It may show that county a thing or two before another year is forgotten in the political history of the Thirty-ninth district. Certainly the plain people of hachapi, forming a mountain around the great centre. This great mountain wall peculiar condition as regatures throughout the thermal lines of California north and south instead of west.

But whether it be Anderson or some other patriot, Orange county will not soon forget Riverside's effort to cram Caldwell down its throat. It may show that county a thing or two before another year is forgotten in the political history of the Thirty-ninth district. Certainly the plain people of Orange county have not forgotten E-tulillo in the experiment station business of a year ago, nor have they overlooked Senator Two-spot's work in changing the text of the bill so that Riverside and not this city might have that station. In a word, if the Thirty-ninth district is to be for Riverside alone, let us become acquainted with the facts at the inception of the argument. But if there are others, let them have a bit of surcease from the stench of the present legislature before suggesting a senatorial candidate for the campaign a year hence, for the smell of the present session is not yet blown over. A tamale before breakfast may give one appendicitis before dinner. Let's see! Did not Abey Ruef say some time ago that he wanted to represent California in the United States senate? TOPOGRAPHY Having almost parallel lines on the ridge of the Sierra Nevadas, Pacific ocean forms the western boundary of California, giving some more than 1200 miles of sea to the state. With an average width of two hundred and a length of ten miles, California presents a very well as pleasing topographical appearance. The snow-covered edge of the Sierra on the east coast watershed whence come in almost countless number, leading life to the fertile valleys. The various passes through ranges of mountains spread the land like a fan and lessen its sweeps over the country. The interior portion of the hills in two valleys, the Sacramento and the San Joaquin, with a total length of more than 500 miles and an average width of fifty miles. The surface of these valleys is at level as a floor, and is of rich alluvial deposits on the bed of an ancient sea. Having closely the contour of most runs a lesser range of runs, meeting the Sierra in the high peak of Shasta, the south, across the Tehachapi, forming a mountain wall in the great central valleys. Great mountain wall causes a condition as regards temples throughout the state, and animal lines of California run south instead of east and north from the extreme northern where Mexico touches the border, all the mountains under divide bearing heavy snow. THE PRESIDENT A FACTOR President Roosevelt made himself a factor in the California legislature on Tuesday by putting an end to all consideration of anti-Japanese legislation. Governor Gillett transmitted to the assembly a protest received from the president against passing the Japan bill that went through the senate on Friday. The protest came in the form of a telegram, and is as follows: "White House, March 10.—Hon. James N. Gillett, Governor of California: The action of legislature as reported in this morning's papers is most unfortunate in its effect upon my efforts to secure the exclusion of Japanese laborers by a friendly agreement, and, if successful, probably will render legislation of congress for that purpose ineffective. Please secure suspension of further action until receipt of letter from me. Theodore Roosevelt." Assemblyman Johnson announced his confidence in President Roosevelt's judgment and moved that the president's request be complied with. He also moved that no further agitation of the Japanese question be made at this session. The motion met with the approval of the assembly. Assemblyman Drew wanted a telegram sent to the president protesting against his attitude on Japanese naturalization. This was defeated, only the democrats voting in favor of it. Three anti-Japanese measures were on the verge of discussion in the assembly when the telegram was read. They were Senator Wolfe's forming a mountain wall in the great central valleys.

Assemblyman Drew wanted a telegram sent to the president protesting against his attitude on Japanese naturalization. This was defeated, only the democrats voting in favor of it. Three anti-Japanese measures were on the verge of discussion in the assembly when the telegram was read. They were Senator Wolfe's bill aiming at the exclusion of children over ten years of age from the primary schools. Keane's proposition to submit the exclusion question to a vote of the people, and Sanford's joint resolution rebuking the president for suggesting the naturalization of the Asiatics. All died in committee. One more billion dollar congress has passed into history. Billion dollar congresses are becoming rather the rule now than otherwise. This country is getting so large and there are so many imperative demands on the national finances, that the mere fact of congress having appropriated this huge sum of money is not enough to convict it of extravagance. The question is whether we have got the worth of our money. The money we have, and we can afford to spend it if it is spent wisely. Two monster battleships were authorized for the navy with the hearty approval of the president. They will cost $15,-000,000 each before they are in commission, and they may never have to fire a shot in anger. But they are a sort of insurance paid for international peace, and as such are cheap. The artillery corps has been enlarged, the service pension bill has been passed. Over $80,000,000 has been appropriated for river and harbor improvement.

They were all measures that were needed, and the only thing that remains is to be thankful that we had the money to spend. H. Trowbridge, agent of the Los Angeles Wholesalers' board of trade, and by that body placed in charge of Hinkel's market, 547 South Main street, was scored by Police Judge Chambers for selling doctored meat and fined $20, which sum the board of trade will have to pay. Judge Chambers grilled Trowbridge, not only for selling the poisoned meat, but for causing trouble for half a dozen others who were also arrested and all, of whom said that they purchased from the Hinkel market, now in the possession of the board of trade. The charge was that Trowbridge sold meat in which sulphurous acid had been mixed to preserve the meat and freshen it.

Many of the proposed regulations are impudent, unfair and troublesome, and not in the interest of the people. The editors forget that the man who invests in railroad stocks has the same right to a square deal as the man who invests in farming operations, or banking operations, or business operations of any other kind. Just now we have prosperity, but a period of depression is not far away.

A Warning The newspapers have a habit of overnearly everything they attempt. They are overdoing their attacks on roads. The Globe doesn't receive large railroad pass, and it hasn't a railroad contract for advertising. Receives not a dollar from any source a railroad company, yet it realizes railroads are necessary to the dement and prosperity of the countries. While the railroads should be opposed in a spirit of fairness and liberthey can be hounded to a point in the country will suffer. That has been nearly reached now unwe are mistaken. Newspapers tions are impudent, unfair and troublesome, and not in the interest of the people. The editors forget that the man who invests in railroad stocks has the same right to a square deal as the man who invests in farming operations, or banking operations, or business operations of any other kind. Just now we have prosperity, but a period of depression is not far away. When the period of depression comes, railroads will not be so prosperous as they have been of late years. During the dull times of a few years ago, railroad investments suffered, and they will suffer again. Because passenger fares are two cents a mile in some of the thickly populated states, it does not follow that two cents a mile is a remunerative rate in Kansas, where the population is small and scattered. These things should be considered. It has been stated by railroad men that because of vicious attacks on railroads, investors are timid, and that it is difficult to find additional money with which to make needed improvements. We can easily believe this is true. Should the people whip the railroads to a point where it become cruelty and unfair? That is the question. Compel railroad managers to be fair, certainly, but don't hold them up as mercilessly and unfairly as ever Jesse James and his associates did.—Atchison, Kansas, Daily Globe, Feb. 7, 1907.
