THE PER CAPITA EXPENDITURE
ESPITE the fact that the government expenditure last
year amounted to $640,232,.00, the per capita expenditure-in the United States was only $7.97. It appears from a statement just issued by the Department of
Commerce and’Labor that in practically every country aside
from China and India the per capita expenditure is greater
than in the United States. New Zealand heads the list with
a per capita of $38.38, Australia comes next with $37.69 and
the United Kingdom with a per capita of $21.39. It is significant that in those countries in which the people do most
things for themselves the report shows the highest per capita
of expenditure. There is nothing appalling in these statistics because in those countries many public utilities are sup
plied by the government. In this country and others with a
low per capita of public expenditure these services are
largely performed by private corporations at an even greater
expenditure to the people.

DARK VIEWS OF SOCIETY
RATHER dismal view of society, as expressed in his
A lecture before the Purity Club in New York, is taken
by Henry Hopkins, president of Williams College, a
man whose conservative judgment and opinions are often
quoted by many of the leading newspapers of the Eastern
States. al
He thinks that most of the current influences that now
confront the young are debasing and that the foundations of
personal character in our national life are being seriously
threatened.
He furthermore sees a growing infidelity to financial
trusts and consequently a visible loss of confidence of man
in his fellowman. Defalcations continue and multipiy in
disheartening succession.
But more disheartening and startling than all, he declares, “‘is the lawless spirit in towns and cities, where have
grown up crowds of hoodlums, of which there is an increas—
ing population, who break out into reckless violence at times
of strikes and lockouts. Of the same nature are the worse
than brutal exhibitions in defiance of all authority and decency in the lynching and hideous burnings that dishonor
human nature itself.”
As for lynching, there is one feature to be noted in the
late affair at Springfield. The lawlessness had three natural
stages. It began with the lynching of the negro. Next day
its scope was widened and the enraged element was willing
to burn out all the negroes. In the last stage of the proceed
ings we see the white boys in the public schools suggesting
the lynching of the black boys.
It will be readily seen that it will not do to condone
lynching, whatever may have been the provocations of certain localities. Like a brush fire in summer, it easily spreads
until its original environments are*obliterated and the whole
social structure is ablaze with revolution.

Although Much Delayed,
Is Being Rushed Since
the Weather Settled.
The past two days have been ideal
spring days and have not only been
greatly appreciated and enjoyed by
all, but many of our people are taking
advantage of the good weather to get
their flower and vegetable gardens
started. Gurdens are all backward fo
the mountain sections of the State this
year, owing to the long and cold period
of wintry weather prevailing in March
and April. However if the present fine
weather continues— and everybody
hopes it will—a few weeks will work a
marvelous transformation in the appearance and conditien of gardens,
and by Decoration Day the front yards
around town w:ll be veritable bowers
of floral beeuty and fragrance, And
there is no other time when flowers
are more beautifal to the eye or more
appreciated by our people than on the
80th of May. .
Although Weather Prophet Gicks
has several storms predicted for May,
—
today, it is not likely that they will
prove long or severe, but are more apt
to be local storms or showers which
will soon pass away. Ino fact, late
Spring showers always prove a blessing to California crops and our people
ccald not very well do without them.

Lawrence to be hanged for the marder of Jobn McCarty on a hop ranch
near Elk Grove in September, 1908.
Lawrence is an Indian. Heand seyeral other Indians, among whom were
Augustine Mirando and Padillo, while
employed at hop picking on McMahon’s rancb, got drunk at their
camp. McCarty and a hop picker
named Mize came along with a jug of
wine and gave the Indians a drink.
After getting a taste of the wine the
Indians determined to have the rest of
the contents of the jug. Tehy dragged the white men from a cart and
gave them a terrible beating, and MoUarty was shot to death. Lawrence
and Padillo were tried and convicted
and sentenced to be hanged. Mirando,
who was only 15 years of age, was allowed to plead guilty to marder in the
second degree, and he was sentenced
to seventeen years’ imprisonment in
the penitentiary. After he had been
sentenced he swore that he was the one
who had fired the shot which killed
McOarty. The Supreme Oourt has
