HANFORD WEEKLY SENTINEL THURSbAY, JULY 6, 1911 PAGE TWO SIGNED BY-LAWS CONGRESS WILL NOT STOP CALL ERINOSE DISEASE ON VINES GOOD REPORT FROM THE PHILIPPINES SENT SPECIMENS TO BERKELEY W. A. Champlain, the janitor at the Hanford Union high school, Friday sent to Prof. L. E.

The California debris commission has recommended to the government a plan for controlling the flood waters of the rivers in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys at a total cost of the state to pay two-thirds, the nation one-third, and the state to control the flood works after completion. The engineering corps concurs in the plan for immediate work in the Sacramento valley. The report says the wink is unnecessary for navigation. The plan contemplates construction if auxiliary channels through the low lands for passage of the flood waters the building of levees, spill-ways and bridges and for the purchase of rights if way.

ALL THIS IN SPITE OF THE TRUSTS The Tulare Register notes the im proved conditions of the people spite of the trusts and the manifold troubles politically and otherwise. That paper says: What has become of the barefooted boy with a stone bruise on one foot and the big toe-nail knocked oD the other? asks the Hanford Sen tinel. Guess lie has advanced to tillage of corns, bunions and ingrowing toe-nails. This little pleasantry ind'-cates as strongly as anything else, perhaps, the changed conditions Id ihe prosperity of the people as whole.

Time was when children went barefoot as a measure of econ jm.v, while in these days, with few exceptions, tin boy who goes barefoot a few hours at a time lias to do more jr less coaxing to obtaiu the privilege. The writer remembers that when he was a boy at least half his playmates, to save the expense ol shoe leather, ran barefoot until the skin on the soles of their feet was so thick and tough that sand jurrs and other stickers were trampled on with impunity. And when the ooy did have shoes they were not the sort one buys nowadays. They were copper-toed, or otherwise reinforced to stand wear and tear, and they were constructed of heavy material to withstand the knocks. Barents, in the majority of cases, were not able to afford tho footwear that protects and adorns the leg terminals of the present day boy.

The people of this country are not only better fed today than ever before, but they are a mighty sight better shod. Ml' THE SYSTEM IS WRONG Santa Ana Register: Our system of criminal law practice is all wrong. It is not only contrary to the best interests of society, but it puts the criminal lawyer in the position of being compelled to resort to despicable methods or be a failure. There is no class of men whose practical lives and professional system is so contrary to all the original objects of their office as that ol criminal lawyers. In the trial ol murderers, every case abounds in cunning, ingenuity and adroit exaggerations of the law's remote in sharp practice and often in humbug and pretense so absurd that one wonders at the variety of the learned attorneys ability and at the courts lack of a sense of humor; but in it all there is not the slightest mention of any desire for justice.

The "criminal lawyer fights bitterly to cover up and confuse the issue, the guilt or innocence of the accused being lost sight of from the moment the trial begins. If one has never noticed this be will find watca-ing it very instructive. The lawyer who makes bis living by the crime of others is not to blame, but he really ought to take the lead in reforming the law and th? practice of courts in this matter, for he suffers more from, it than any other single individual or class. The community is the heaviest loser, o' course. (From Saturdays Daily.) WORK STARTKD ON MACHINE SHOP Work was started Monday on the machine shop of Daniels Rutherford.

Johnson, If he deems It necessary, will call a Special session und include in that call the re-apportionment of Qje state into ltgislutive, railroad and equalization districts, and the question of whether or not lie would include congressional districts would in no way change his plan of including legislative districts, the more important, he said. Dispatches from Washington are to the effect that the re-appoittonment Mil is not likely to be taken up until the session in December. Whether or not this will mean that California with three additional congressmen, will be obliged to elect them at large in 1912 will be determined later.

Authorities are divided on whether or not the statecan be re-divided into congressional districts by a bill dependent upon the passage by congress of a re-apportionment bill in December. And authorities are divided upon whether or not California can be redistricted according to law after 1911, although there has been a precedent established for sugh irregularity. Governor Johnson said to a reporter for the Bee that hq had not decided upon what would be the procedure, but that when he was ready to take It up he would search for the proper way to handle it DELINQUENT BOY SENTENCED TO A TWO-YEAR TERM AT WHITTIER REFORM SCHOOL. GIRL SENT TO RESCUE HOME It is seldom that a judge is called upon to exercise his duty in as delicate a situation as confronted Judge Covert, sitting in the Juvenile court Friday, with Frances Amador and Manuel Amador before him on a petition that they be declared delinquent children. The testimony given by a Bister and aunt of the two children showed that their mother was deud, and that their father was thought to be in Bakersfield, but that his exact whereabouts is not known.

Newt Nelson, on whose dairy ranch near Stratford the children had been wording, stated to the court that he had provided them with a house to live in but that he thought they both occupied one room as sleeping quarters, and before that had lived in a tent. He received a reprimand from the court for his negligence in not providing separate sleeping quarters for children of such tender age. The age of the boy is given as 17 and that of the girl 15. The proceedings resulted In the boy being sent to the reform school at Whittier for a term of 2 years, and the court ordered the girl to the care of Miss A. Davis, at the rescue home at Los Angeles.

Cerf Rosenthal, who owns a lar.te tract of the Hail Eaton lands near Hardwick, came from San Francisco Friday and went out to the ranch to oversee some of the operations going on there. It is his intention to make a trip to the east within a few weeks and while there he will investigate regarding dairy cattle, with which to stock his Hard wick ranch. He is at the present time inclined to' favor the Jersey and Guernsey breeds for a strictly dairy business.

DISEASE IS NOT QANGEROUS, BUT IS UNUSUALLY PREVALENT IN VINEYARDS THIS SEASON If vlneyardlsts notice leaves of their grape vines covered on the upper side with what appears to bo small green blisters, they will know that the vine is being attacked with the disease known as erAiose, and which Is caused by the ravages of a minute insect too small to be discernible without the aid of a strong magnifying glass.

The blisters are the first stage of the disease, and later the under portion of the leaf becomes a greenish-yellow, and at the last stages of the disease, the veins of the leaf become yellow and afterward brown. Horticultural Commissioner Sharp has had numerous complaints regarding the disease of late, and he states that It Is not at all dangerous as it hardly ever progresses far enough to defoliate the vino, and Is not nearly so destructive as mildew. The remedy for the disease Is sulphur, used the same as for mildew, and Mr. Sharp, says that no one need get excited over the prevalence of the disease. (San Francisco Chronicle) What more referendum than we have now the most enthusiastic reformer could ask for is hard to Imagine.

Next October the people are to vote on twenty-three laws which is enough. And if the initiative" is to give us any more than that to worry over those of us who desire to retain our sanity will do well to move to Mexico or some other country where some benovolent or other despot saves us that trouble. However, ihe job is before us, and there is nothing to do but to tackle It. Unquestionably there is something to be said for and against every one of these amendments, but the chances are that most of the discussion will center about three or four of the amendments, and that' that will be rhetorical rather than reasonable. There will, of cource, be a good deal of discussion, which is entirely reasonable.

The granges in particular have the habit of a rather careful study of such legislation. That of the labor unions is less valuable because less Individual. Labor unions refer such things to committees, usually very intelligent ones, and depend upon their reports. But it Is individual study that counts. It is not always, however, easy to get the facts and the arguments for and against these measures.

The law permits the friends and opponents of each measure to submit brief statemnts, which are officially printed. The last time it was not done. Whether it will be done this time remains to be seen. If it be done the law does not require publication for more than thirty days before election, thus giving less than a day and a half to an amendment If the voters had nothing else to do. And some of these amendments are corkers.

The quicker the people get to work at them the better. GAVE CHOI EASES A SURPRISE Mrs. Joe D. Biddle, leader of the Presbyterian church choir, was the victim of a surprise Thursday night, when the members of the session of the church and the choir invaded her home on Eighth street uninvited. Mrs.

DOCTOR TRAVELS 15,000 MILES TO ATTEND LOS ANGELES MEETING OPTOMISTIC RE-GARDING SITUATION AT MANILA Los Angeles, June 30.

Dr. Musgrare interestingly ol the progress of the Philippines, ana especially of the beauty and advance meat of Manila. He lias lived there ior 13 years, going to the islands with die army, und making his home there since the Spanish war; He says he snows of no more delightful spot on earth than the capital of the Philippines, nor one where American men and women enjoy life more. One takes things easier in the Orient, said Dr.

Musgrave. "Life is more leisurely. Americans have servants than at home, ride in carriages more and walk less. They go Jut less in the daytime and enjoy the nights more. Generally, though, ws do in the tropics much as here.

We are hustling the east a trifle, but we are trying to lift the Filipinos to a higher plane. "There is more English spoken in islands than Spanish; more English now than there ever was Spanisa. With nearly 000,000 Filipino boys and girls in the public schools annually, it will be only a matter of a few years until English will be the usual medium of communication. It will supplant Spanish and the 00 dialects of the halt hundreds tribes in the archipelago. And with English will come better standards, higher Ideals and arnbi tions for western civilization.

The Filipinos are a most amiable people, simple, lovable and docile. They respond readily to kind treatment. A1 though war between them and Amerl cans is not 10 years over, there Is a cordial sentiment between the governed and the governing which indicates a happy future.

Dear Editors: In last nights paper you mention the necessity of spreading the news that Kings county is going to have a county fair this year.

Is not a good way to boost that fair the way that we boosted our Kar-nival? Get a lot of pins or buttons like the ones we had for the Karnival and every person that goes away to the coast or to a near-by town always liuve a button on their coat so the people can see it. Lets try this. Put the buttons In the depots and let the ticket seller give one to every person that buys a ticket BOOST THAT FAIR! EVERYBODY! Yours truly, A BOOSTER. Mr. A Booster.

Is right. The Sentinel hears that the directors have ordered buttons, caps, horse blankets, for advertising purposes, and the same will soon arrive.
