STANTON'S VOTE RIGHT ON FEDERAL SHIPS SUPPORTED ORIGINAL RESOLUTION WITHOUT CHANGING A LINE Two Sections of Preamble Endorsing Kansas Man Stricken Out, and the Names of Senator Flint and Representative McLachlan Substituted, Inasmuch as They Had Recently Introduced Bills at Washington Making An Appropriation of $10,000,000 for Establishing the Steamer Line—Facts of the Case There is only one charge made by Franklin Hichborn, and so industriously circulated by the Santa Ana Register, against the character of Speaker Stanton, which, if true, would unfit that gentleman for the high office of governor of this state. The other four charges, which constitute, with this one, the entire network of accusations against the speaker, are so steeped in the wanton prejudice of a mind gangrened with vindictiveness, that they fall of their purpose miserably when revealed in the light of the truth of our current political history. These, moreover, have been proven so false, so mendacious, so splenetic, that they have reacted in favor of the Speaker, and recolled upon the discredited man who gives them utterance. We have already shown that all these five charges are untrue, but, as we say, only one of them, if proven true, would unfit the Speaker for the governorship. Yet this is if possible representative McLachlan have recently introduced in congress a bill calling for an appropriation of ten million dollars to establish a federal line of steamers on the Pacific coast; therefore, be it [Here follows the wording of the original bill.] "Amendment No. 2" "Strike out lines 37 to 49 inclusive on page 2, and insert the following: Resolved, That we recommend the speedy establishment of the line proposed in said bills introduced by Senator Flint and Representative McLachlan at as early a date as possible, in order that relief may be afforded to the manufacturers, merchants, and prouducers of this state. Mr. Drew moved the adoption of the report and amendments. "Motion carried." The motion was carried by unanimous vote, the Speaker voting aye. The portions of the preamble stricken out are as follows: Paragraph 7. Lines stricken out: "Whereas, In a report to President elect Taft issued by their Special Panama Railroad Commissioner Joseph L. Bristow, it was recommended that the United States government establish a line of steamers on the Pacific ocean, to connect with the railroad across the Isthmus of Panama, owned by the United States government, and the line of steamers on the Atlantic ocean, owned by the United States government, and Whereas, In the said report the Hon. Joseph L. Bristow especially charges that the Pacific Mail steamship company is dominated and controlled by the transcontinental lines, and therefore does not solicit through business via the Panama line," In paragraph 10, lines struck out: "Resolved, That we request the con- with vindictiveness, that they fall of their purpose miserably when revealed in the light of the truth of our current political history. These, moreover, have been proven so false, so mendacious, so splenetic, that they have reacted in favor of the Speaker, and recoiled upon the discredited man who gives them utterance. We have already shown that all these five charges are untrue, but, as we say, only one of them, if proven true, would unfit the Speaker for the governorship. Yet this is, if possible, more dastardly false than the others. What, then, becomes of these Hichborn charges against the Speaker? Let us look at this particular one to which we refer. Mr. Hichborn charges, and the Register reprints the charge, that Speaker Stanton voted against a resolution in the last legislature asking the United States government to establish a line of steamers plying between Pacific coast ports and the Isthmus of Panama. If true, the charge would place the Speaker squarely in the railroad camp, and we should not now be supporting him for the governorship. What are the facts? In the last legislature Senator Sanford, a democrat, introduced a joint resolution asking congress to establish a federal line of ships plying between the Pacific-coast terminus of the canal and ports along the west coast of the United States. In the preamble to the resolution, Sanford extolled the political virtues of Mr. Bristow of Kansas, and ignored Senator Flint and Representative McLachlan of California, who had a few days before introduced bills in the senate and house of representatives at Washington appropriating $10,000,000 for building and inaugurating this identical line of ships. Speaker Stanton regarded this as an affront to the California senator and representative, who were doing yeoman service at Washington for this federal line of ships, and a slap at the republican members of the legislature who had elected Flint. Mr. Bristow had done nothing to warrant this honor, except to report to the President in favor of the line. That is all. Speaker Stanton struck out the eulogium of Bristow, and in its place put the names of Flint and McLachlan, whose bills paved the way for the establishment of the ships. Let us look at the record: "From the Assembly Journal, Mar. 11, 1909, page 1433, Report of Committee on Free Conference: Whereas, In the said report the Hon. Joseph L. Bristow especially charges that the Pacific Mail steamship company is dominated and controlled by the transcontinental lines, and therefore does not solicit through business via the Panama line." In paragraph 10, lines struck out: "Resolved, That we request the congress of the United States to speedily give consideration to the report of the Hon. Joseph L. Bristow, special Panama railroad commissioner, as submitted by him to President-elect Taft, and that we recommend the speedy establishment of the line at as early a date as possible, in order that relief may be afforded to manufacturers, merchants and producers of this state, and "Resolved, That we denounce the arrangement made by the Pacific Mail steamship company with the transcontinental lines whereby they have never solicited any of this through business, and urge our representatives in congress and in the United States senate to give this matter their immediate time and attention." The objection to the resolution originally intruded by Senator Sanford (democrat) was that it, first, assumed that the Hon. Bristow had made the charges and recommendations stated in the resolution; and second, that, if such report was made, that the charges against the Pacific Mail Steamship company were true. In the debate on the resolution, there was not a scintilla of evidence produced as to what the alleged report contained, or on what evidence the denunciation of the steamship company was made, and it was held by a majority of the assembly that it was unnecessary to load the resolution with endorsements or vituperation in regard to matters about which they had no information. The resolution as finally adopted is certainly in better taste and carries out fully the purposes and intent of the original resolution. The resolution itself was not changed. This is the one single charge which Franklin Hichborn makes against Speaker Stanton which, if true, would unfit him for the governorship. We say Mr. Hichborn has deliberately falsified,and the Santa Ana Register has given publicity to the fabrication. Neblett, Riverside Sacramento.

We say Mr. Hichborn has deliberately falsified, and the Santa Ana Register has given publicity to the fabrication. The only change Speaker Stanton made in the bill was the elimination of the eulogium of Bristow of Kansas, and substituting therefor words of commendation for Senator Flint and Representative McLachlan of California, who had recently introduced in the senate and house at Washington bills carrying an appropriation of $10,000,000 for building this federal line of ships. Mr. Hichborn's charge fails. Speaker Stanton stands out in the light of the truth, as he has always stood, the friend and the champion of the people's rights, wearing no railroad collar and the brand of no man alive or dead upon his forehead. Will the editor of the Santa Ana Register be fair enough to tell the truth about Mr. Stanton and his action in this matter of this line of federal ships?

Full details of the recently enacted California dental law regulating the practice of dentistry and insuring the better education of practitioners of dental surgery are given in the newly issued twenty-fifth annual report of the State Board of Dental Examiners and which may be had on application to the secretary, C. A. Herrick, of San Francisco. The board now consists of J. L. Pease, Oakland; C. A. Herrick, San Francisco; G. M. Crow, Los Angeles; F. G. Baird, San Francisco; H. R. Harbison, San Diego; J. W. Neblett, Riverside; A. B. Mayhew, Sacramento. The report also contains a complete register of licensed dental practitioners, with their residence. Under the present law diplomas from dental colleges or licenses from other states do not give their holders the right to practice in this state without first passing an examination. California does not interchange licenses with other states. The receipts of the board during the past year were and keeping up the average daily attendance, in an article prepared by Job Wood, statistician in the office of the superintendent of public instruction, for the next issue of the official school journal. "Last year the state gave to the high schools $339,462, of which $226,-219 or 66 per cent was given on average daily attendance," says Wood. "This was $9.37 per pupil on average daily attendance. Those who give a little thought to the plan of apportionment provided for by law can see that the real purpose of the legislation in apportioning the money to the elementary and high schools on attendance is to offer a premium to the teachers for keeping children in the school. The compulsory education law has not been a success in causing children to remain in school so this plan has been provided to supplement that of compulsion. Those teachers and parents who realize that they can add to the income of the high school from $9 to $10 per pupil for each boy or girl kept in school and a much greater amount for each boy or girl kept in the grammar school, ought to do all they can to enroll every pupil possible and then hold them when they get them. "The schools are for the education of the children and a pupil, even though he may not be able "to make a record in Latin" may get something from the school by being there.

This subject is treated more fully in this bulletin than in any previous publication and considerable effort has been devoted to obtaining data and opinions as to the best means of carrying on this important work from experts up and down the state. Ernest Bryant Hoag, medical director of the Berkeley schools, and lecturer in hygiene in the university of California, submits a general plan for health supervision in the schools. He declares that no school can any longer claim a place in modern educational progress which ignores or neglects the health conditions of its pupils and says that one cannot properly educate a child who has not good health. In speaking of medical inspection and supervision in the schools he says that it is a mistake to think of such work as first of all medical for it is first of all educational. "It must aid the boy and girl in healthy growth," observes Dr. Hoag, and development; it must help the school to adapt its work to individual physical and mental conditions; it must assist in the correction of existing physical defects and in the prevention of others."
