THAT TURN-ABOUT PLAN We notice in the Santa Ana papers a discussion relative to the turn-about plan of nominating Senators in the Thirty-ninth district. This plan has about gone by the boards. It was brought out after the formation of Riverside county in 1891, when relations between the newly erected county and San Bernardino were, in politics as well as in other matters, strained to the utmost tension. There are no such relations at present subsisting between the two counties now composing the district, even though Riverside is not dealing fairly by us on the water question. As the rule came first from Riverside, so that county was first to break away from it, in its effort to renominate Caldwell four years ago. Moreover, Caldwell had been forced upon Riverside by San Bernardino in 1900. Riverside's choice for Senator in that year was George Frost, but HEARST'S NEW PAPER Members of the nationaltee of the Independence league meet in Chicago Washington day, Feb. 22, when a call for national convention, to select dates for president and vice-dent, will be issued.

Assoman Bishop is also a cand succeeds himself, and there As the rule came first from Riverside, so that county was first to break away from it, in its effort to renominate Caldwell four years ago. Moreover, Caldwell had been forced upon Riverside by San Bernardino in 1900. Riverside's choice for Senator in that year was George Frost, but San Bernardino balked at the mention of his name. So the turn-about rule, so far as a county's real choice for Senator was concerned, was broken eight years ago. Four years later Riverside tried hard to break it again. That county was coolly indifferent to the turn-about plan in that campaign. No less than six men have been "mentioned" in connection with the nomination for State Senator in the upper county this year, and each one has had to run the gauntlet of more or less personal opposition. It would not be surprising if Riverside, torn with political factions as it is, will fail to unite upon a candidate. Orange county has a score of men who knew the district before Senator Anderson ever heard of California, and who would grace the position. Why not agree upon one of them and give Riverside a modicum of her own medicine? John Eymann voices an emphatic protest to the competition now being waged against farmers by Japanese now in this country. He informs us that cabbage has fallen to $5 per ton, and that a company of Japs farming land between this city and Placentia now have several hundred tons of cabbage ready to ship at this figure.

Whites cannot compete with the little brown men when it comes to cheap living. These foreigners have no families, pay no taxes, and moreover ship their earnings out of the country. They come into competition with our cabbage, potato, berry and celery growers and subject the whites to ruinous competition. How long would an American in Japan be permitted to undersell the Jap in his native heath? With that country preparing for war against the United States, is it not about time this Jap menace to local producers be looked into a little closer, and the right of whites who have families to support and taxes to pay, and who are thus subject to unfair competition, more adequately respected?

Harriman of New York, is making an effort in that state to send a delegation to Chicago hostile to the nomination of Taft. It is significant as indicating that Mr. Harriman, through William H. Herrin, chief counsel of the Southern Pacific, has not ceased to be a factor in the politics of California. According to advices that have just reached Washington the bitterest kind of a fight is in progress in California between the republican machine, which is in reality opposed to the administration, and those who stand for the president and his policies. Both sides are voiciferous in their advocacy of the nomination of Secretary Taft as the presidential nominee. The republican machine, it is charged, is working on the surface for Taft to conceal a purpose to name a delegation that will vote against him at Chicago from the first to the last ballot. At primaries to be held in the state in May the republican voters are to have an opportunity to express their choice for the presidency. As both wings of the party are work ing for Taft, one honestly for him and the other at heart hostile to him, the indications are that the Taft candidacy will win out. The battle will then be waged to control the delegation to the national convention. The Sun states the case accurately, little as Mr. Harriman may relish the publication of such news from his subsidized newspaper. Republicans in California who stand for the Roosevelt policies became aware of the attitude of the machine a year ago, when puppets The Sun states the case accurately, little as Mr. Harriman may relish the publication of such news from his subsidized newspaper. Republicans in California who stand for the Roosevelt policies became aware of the attitude of the machine a year ago, when puppets of the Harriman push began chattering about the impropriety of nominating Secretary Taft for the presidency. They were not surprised at the action of the republican state central committee in calling an "informal primary" to determine the choice of voters for the nomination, and placed the date of such primary election under the very eve of the assembling of the national convention. Mr. Harriman showed his hand very plainly in that unclean job upon the party which gave Roosevelt 125,000 majority in 1904. It was nothing less than a slap in the face to these men, and they are going to resent it. They purpose eliminating Mr. Harriman from California politics. The republican state central committee knows perfectly well there is not a particle of sentiment in California for any candidate except Taft. Moreover, the party will not support a railroad nominee. As between Foraker and Bryan the state would go overwhelmingly for the latter. There is no sentiment here for Hughes, although he is a very good man; nor for Cannon, nor Fairbanks, nor La Follette. The party in California is a unit for Taft, believing him to be in every way the best equipped man for the office.

The party in California is a unit for Taft, believing him to be in every way the best equipped man for the office. Why did the committee refer the matter of endorsement to an "informal primary," and set the date thereof away off in May? By so doing, it simply eliminated California from the politics of the nation until Mr. Harriman got ready to put it back in the game. If Taft wins, Harriman will be for him; but, mark you, the machine, in California as in other states, will leave no stone unturned to bring about the defeat of the war secretary. It is Taft against the machine in California, as it is in Illinois, in Indiana, in New York, in Wisconsin, in New England and in Florida. It was Taft against the machine in Ohio, up to the recent elimination of Mr. Foraker. It is a powerful combination which is operating against him; but the people are mightier. What the people did to the machine in Ohio, they will do here in California, as well as in the states where "favorite sons" shield the sins of the machine.

To Strengthen the Eyes Unless one has unusually strong eyes, one must not read when one is extremely weary. Exhaustion and fatigue affect all the nerves of the body, and the optic nerve is so sensitive that it should receive particular consideration. Nor should one be guilty of the carlessness of reading or writing facing a window. This, too, is a cruel strain on the sight. Washing the eyes morn- and night in water as hot as it can be borne is a wonderful tonic for those useful servants which are so easily injured. When we consider how we neglect their welfare by using them by fading daylight and an insufficient artificial light, by forcing them to do work when they are weary and by denying them the rest for which they long, we have cause to wonder not that they sometimes become mutinous and refuse to fulfill our demands, but that they are ever faithful in our service. They will, as a gule, be as good to us as we are to them."
