LEGALIZED BRIGANDAGE The tariff controversy continues throughout the country and will continue to be the main topic of discussion until the end of the extra session to be called by the new president after the fourth of March, for the revision of the Dingley act. A long time ago when the Moorish pirates crept from their lair at Tarifa near Gibraltar to levy tribute from ships sailing upon the Mediterranean, they were engaged in a lawless, piratical warfare upon trade which it was necessary for civilized nations to suppress. These pirates have been long since quieted and their seaport, Tarifa, from which the name of the system came, is abandoned. The legalized tariff tribute upon commerce still flourishes in its most flagrant form in the Dingley act. The question is how much longer will this legal system of piracy be permitted to levy tribute upon the industries and trade of the greatest nation of the world. A SARDINE TRUST In a federal court in Portland, Maine, a grand jury has returned "not a true bill" in an indictment of a local company as a "sardine trust" violating the laws. This corporation, it appears, collects great quantities of the small herring that swarm on the Maine coast, packs them in neat boxes in cotton seed oil and then through the protection RECORDER PETERS' BAY SHEET Recorder Peters has filed hisance sheet with the board of visors, which shows his office a money maker for the people report indicates that 10,439 were filed for record during the Upon these papers fees were due to the amount of $655.10.

This corporation, it appears, collects great quantities of the small herring that swarm on the Maine coast, packs them in neat boxes in cotton seed oil, and then, through the protection of the tariff, uses them to compete with sardines collected on the Sardinian coast of the Mediterranean. There is no infraction of the pure food-law—the little herrings are not adulterated—and the Maine merchants are acting in strict accordance with the tariff law, which enables them to foist an inferior and spurious article on the public. SOUTH AMERICAN RULE This country has about one-fourth of the aggregate foreign trade of the South American republics. In the year 1907, it aggregated $2,100,000,000. Europe gets three-fourths of this trade. Mr. Barrett, chief of the bureau of American republics, suggests that in order to compete with Europe we must establish better mail and passenger service on both Atlantic and Pacific sides, as well as to secure inter-banking facilities and send as commercial travelers refined and tactful men who can speak Spanish fluently. This is no doubt well and in fact indispensable, but Mr. Barrett has failed to indicate the most important step, which will be the repeal of our repellant navigation and tariff laws. It is folly to expect to sell in markets where we refuse to buy. LITERATURE WANTED From the California Promotion Committee there comes a message—a New Year's declaration of vigorous tactics in the development campaign for 1909, as it were—urging that all commercial organizations keep it supplied liberally with their booklets and other publications setting forth, authoritatively, their attractions, resources, opportunities, and possibilities. Not only does the committee want printed matter for distribution at its headquarters in California building, Union Square, San Francisco, and through its correspondence, but it wishes to keep California literature in ample supply at its various bureaus in the east and Europe and have on hand sufficient to meet the demands of distribution through Total number of papers to through the office during the 10,939, of this number 2563 charged no fees.

TO TEACH SANITARY METAL WITH CAR The state board of health, on the suggestion of Passed Assistant Surgeon Rucker of the United States public health and marine vital service, is to fit up a car make a tour of the state for the pose of illustrating sanitary medical of preventing disease. The Southern Pacific railroad agreed to furnish this car and that company and the Santa Fé agreed to transport it free of over their lines in the state. The exhibit will demonstrate typhoid fever, tuberculosis and other common diseases could be vented. Special attention will paid to the smaller towns and try places, because it is the population that is constantly fusing the cities with typhoid fever with milk from tubercular cow. Simultaneously with the appearance of George Hatton, Walter Parker eral George Stone, and others co-ed with an interest in the so-called Southern Pacific "machine," have arrived at Sacramento, car B. Anderson of Los Angeles, will have charge of the "People lobby. Anderson and his assist will watch every bill in both halls and report every movement on legislators. They intend to put a legislative record describing supplied liberally with their booklets and other publications setting forth, authoritatively, their attractions, resources, opportunities, and possibilities. Not only does the committee want printed matter for distribution at its headquarters in California building, Union Square, San Francisco, and through its correspondence, but it wishes to keep California literature in ample supply at its various bureaus in the east and Europe and have on hand sufficient to meet the demands of distribution through the other channels it has developed. Certainly one of the first steps taken by a commercial organization in doing development work should be the publication of attractive printed matter, and it should ever be the aim to keep its literature up to normative, and convincing. But printing a booklet is but a part of it; the distribution is an important factor that unfortunately too often is not given adequate attention. Put in the hands of the committee every copy is sure to be placed where it will reach those who wish to profit by the information contained. It is well at this season of the year to "lay the wires" prior to the beginning of the colonist season and the subsequent influx of settlers. In connection with the distribution of literature the committee has advocated the interchange of literature among the various organizations in the several counties, a suggestion worthy of adoption and one that to the traveler and tourist visiting different localities has a strong appeal. Then too, it is another aspect of the trend of the times, "One for all and all for one." Market day will be hereafter held on the third Saturday of each month, at the corner of Chartres and Los Angeles streets. An auctioneer will be on hand and his services will be free to those desiring to avail themselves of the same. Simultaneously with the appearance of George Hatton, Walter Parker,eral George Stone, and others co-ed with an interest in the so-called Southern Pacific "machine," have arrived at Sacramento, can B. Anderson of Los Angeles, will have charge of the "People's lobby." Anderson and his assistants will watch every bill in both hands and report every movement of legislators. They intend to put a legislative record, describing a bill with its good and bad features and to show how each senator assemblyman voted. This will be sent to all the newspapers, civic bodies, municipal stees and county supervisors.

Henderson of Orange was burned to death shortly before noon on Saturday by the explosion of a gasoline stove. The remains burned to a crisp, were found near the door of the house, which was burned, showing that the paralyzed woman had struggled desperately to get out of the flames. Mr. Henderson, a carpenter, was away at work. Just before noon neighbors saw the flame and smoke pouring from the doors and windows. Many people, including the firemen, rushed to the place. Neighbors turned on a stream of water and put out the fire. The house was gutted. It is thought gasoline exploded and caused the fire. Mrs. Henderson was in an upholstered chair, and that she attempted to get away from the flames is proved by the fact that her body was found two feet from the AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT Elbert Osborne of Los Angeles, brother-in-law of Robert Whiting of East Anaheim, was thrown from his auto while returning from the Pasadena rose tournament on New Year's day and was badly injured. He was accompanied by his wife, who escaped uninjured. Mr. Osborne's auto was struck by a rapidly moving electric car and overturned. The machine fell upon him, thirty feet from the track. When he saw the car coming he tried in vain to steer the auto out of harm's way, but was unable so to do. He was with difficulty removed from the wreckage, and it was at first feared he had been fatally injured. He recovered and was taken to his home, where it was found his injuries were serious. Yesterday his condition was reported to be improved and he was resting easily with fair prospects of recovery. Mr. and Mrs. Whiting on learning of the accident left immediately for Los Angeles and have since been at the bedside of the patient. W. E. McFadden and family of Placentia and Miss Hope Forster of Capistrano, granddaughter of the late Don Marco Forster, had a narrow escape from serious injury in an automobile accident at Santa Ana on Sunday.
