THE ANTI-PRIZE-FIGHT FARCE, AND DUCKING Doubtless Miguel Estudillo received many a vote in the Thirty-ninth senatorial district from voters who are opposed upon high moral grounds to prize fighting. In every one of his speeches he dilated upon the fact that he supported the anti-prize-fight bill in the last legislature. His vote upon the anti-prize-fight bill and the anti-race-track gambling bill were his oratorical stock in trade. Now what is the anti-prize-fight bill? Nothing but a farce, as we repeatedly pointed out in the campaign. It was merely a measure designed to deceive the moralists and Estudillo worked it to the limit. While it did away with prize fights, as such, it permitted "boxing contests," which are merely prize fights under another title. From the evidence given by Morris Levy, the San Francisco fight promoter, in the Ruef trial at San Francisco last week, we quote as follows: "Levy showed the relations existing between Ruef and the supervisors and how the funds of the corporations were used to corner the fight permits of this city in 1906 during the Subscription period." VAST ARMY OF VOTERS The total vote of the state recent election was 386,597. Taft's plurality was 86,906. Of the seventeen and to the constitution and meant to voters, only two more than 200,000 votes. The direct primary law did not 200,000 votes, although, of which was carried. The bill proposed state capital removal polling Senate Amendment No. 1, separation of state from local tion, was the only other area polling more than 200,000 votes was a bad amendment, and it was lost received a vote for to 114,104 against. Proclamation ever submitted people of the state was more in its harmful effects upon property holder, yet 185,000 glected to vote for or again is this apathy of the people gives the machinists great rest assured that every master in the state was lined up as well as all other railroads, while, as we say, 185,000 were under the political fast asleep. This amendment undoubtedly be submitted to people at the next election, forchine keeps at a thing until it—and this is an important to the machine. Is it not time for the average voter himself and become acquainted what is doing in the politics. ARTIFICIAL JOY G. H. Shaw, a Santa Ana station clerk, sold a bottle of Saturday evening to Al Cochran had a prescription on file called From the evidence given by Morris Levy, the San Francisco fight promoter, in the Ruef trial at San Francisco last week, we quote as follows: "Levy showed the relations existing between Ruef and the supervisors and how the funds of the corporations were used to corner the fight permits of this city in 1906 during the Schmitz regime. Relating his trials and tribulations in trying 'to pull off the Gans-Sullivan fight in 1906,' Levy said he made numerous visits to the Pup restaurant, where the former political leader held forth at night, and was given the assurance that he could have the permit. Subsequently he matched Gans and Sullivan. "The court allowed Levy to tell of his taking a blank permit and securing the signatures of various immunity supervisors, and when Ruef heard what the witness was doing he took him to task. Levy swore that up to a week before the fight he had no permit. Ruef advised him to consult Eddie M. Graney, and the latter advised the formation of a corporation, each stockholder to put up $5,000. Levy said the trust was composed of himself, James W. Coffroth, Eddie M. Graney and Willus Britt. "How long have you been in the fight business?" asked counsel. "Don't say 'fight'; that's against the law, said Levy, looking shocked. 'I never gave a fight; I conducted a boxing exhibition.'" Precisely so. Now what is the difference, Mr. Estudillo, between a prize fight and a boxing contest? You voted for the anti-race-track gambling bill also, Mr. Estudillo, but your vote was not needed to defeat that iniquitous measure, or Jere Burke would have commanded you to change your vote, as you were publicly charged with changing your vote upon another bill at command of this railroad boss. If your vote had been necessary to carry the race-track-gambling bill, there's not a particle of doubt upon which side your vote would have been cast.

IDEAL ORE ASSAYS HIGH The Beatty Bullfrog Miner of recent date contains the following reference to a mine in that locality in which local people are interested: "Capt. Adams this week received returns from samples of ore from the Ideal recently taken to California for test purposes. The general average of five feet of ore exposed in a crosscut from the shaft, according to the assay sheet, is $26. These results are much higher than expected, and another sampling for verification will be made. The ore is an extremely hard quartz, with considerable manganese and iron oxide. Mr. Adams states development will recommence in a few days and the vein thoroughly opened."

ARMY OF VOTERS ASLEEP The total vote of the state at the election was 386,597, of which majority was 86,906 over Bryan. The seventeen amendments constituted and measures subpoenaed by voters, only two polled in 200,000 votes. Even the primary law did not call out votes, although, of course, it used. The bill providing for capital removal polled 253,008. Amendment No. 1, relating to the state from local taxation, the only other amendment more than 200,000 votes. It had amendment, and though just received a vote of 87,977,104 against.

Wright was one of four state senators indicted for taking bribes in connection with legislation affecting building and loan associations. Two of the four were convicted. All were guilty. The men who were convicted had no friends and they went to prison. Wright was permitted to run away and hide in South America. No real effort was ever made to find him. The fact is that Wright knew too much and strong political influences were brought to bear to hold him safe from punishment. Wright, of course, was guilty. His flight proved so much if there had been no other evidence, but now, after a lapse of years, it is declared that it would be impossible to bring together the convicting testimony required by our legal processes. Wright has confessed his guilt by running away, but under our law that fact is not conclusive evidence of guilt. By consequence, the indictment is dismissed and Wright will return to California "without a stain on his character." This is all wrong. It is a bitter tragedy of injustice that two men should go to prison and another man equally guilty should go free. In a moral sense the commonwealth owes compensation to Emmons and Bunker who were punished for the same crime that Wright confessed by his flight. Perpetual exile would be a light punishment for the crime that Wright committed, but the inequality of justice under our laws restores him to citizenship, if not to reputable standing. ARTIFICIAL JOY Shaw, a Santa Ana prescription sold a bottle of whiskey evening to Al Comer, who description on file calling for arruments, Comer said his call and he wanted the whispicinal purposes and under instances he was supplied question.
