COZY CORNER CHAT
ONLY ONE WEEK remains before election. Sample balYots have been mailed to the voters and candidates are making
last minute appeals. It remains for the ballots to tell their own
stories. :
The most important and interesting fight is, of course, that
for the governor's chair: Fitts is definitely out of the picture
in the mountain counties although he is expected to pole a
large vote south of the Tehachapi Pass. The fight in the
north is between Governor C. C. Young and Mayor James
Rolph. Each one has behind him an excellent record as a public
official and each has many adherents. The outcome of the
election cannot be foretold as there are many angles to consider. Young’s friends point with pride at the excellent roads
built under the able direction of B. B. Meek while his enemies
point to the hydraulic bill veto as a direct slap on mining. A
lengthy article comes from Sierra County hydraulic miners to
show that the $200,000 proposed by the bill was a mere grain
of sand compared with the millions needed. So it goes on— .
pro and con.
Many tales are told on James Rolph, but he has the faculty
of making friends and keeping them. Taking over the reins of
San Francisco after a political turmoil he has guided the city
in a creditable manner and has been returned again and again .
until sixteen years are to his credit as mayor of the metropolis
of San Francisco.
The Editor never goes to Sacramento without hearing the
praises of Congressman Harry L. Englebright sung. Now that
Hoover has proved that it is possible to elect a president west
of the Rockies we may see our Harry ruling over the nation.
We are certain he would do it with the same efficiency with
which he has represented this district in Congress. Besides he
iis a gifted talker and posesses a magnetic personality. Here’s
Aoping!
With a full program of mining legislation coming up this
‘winter it is most important to send back to the Assembly the
aman who has proved himself a friend to the mining industry,
J-L. “Jerry” Seawell.
MISPLACED EDITORIAL
‘Getting out this paper is no picnic.
If we print jokes, people say we are silly—if we don't, they
assay we are too serious.
if we make a change in the other fellow’’s write-up, we are
60 critical—if we don't, we are asleep.
fl we clip things from-other papers, we are too lazy to
-write them ourselves—if we do not, we are stuck on our own
stuff.
If we don’t print contributions, we don't appreciate true
genius—if we do print them, the paper is filled with junk.
Now, like as not, some one will say we clipped this from a
amagazine.

~ TROUBLES OF 1865
Here is the chronicle of a far
seeing editor right here in Nevada
Lity who, 65 years ago advocated
in strong language the short dress
and he really doesn’t know what to
do’.
Here is the article of the day previous, which brought about the furious onslaught on the editor:
TRAILING SKIRTS
A great many articles have been
written about the expense of trailing skirts. Much also has been said
about the filthiness of allowing a
robe to drag over the dirty streets
and sidewalks but with, to some
persons, little effect.
It is no wonder however that expense and filth are no reasons for
discarding dragging skirts with some,
if what one of her sex tells us is
true. *
She informs us confidentially that
there are good reasons why some
persons wear trailing skirts, and
when you see that kind of a dress
on the streets, it is safe to say they
cover large feet, dirty. linen, or-both
It would appear then that ladies
with pretty feet and unimpeachable
underclothes have no motive to
wear mop skirts, but only those who
have something~™ objectionable to
cover up. Boys, take note of this
and be governed accordingly’. ~
of our girls of today and as a conwequence got himself into trouble.
Read what the Nevada City Gamette, published by E. F. Bean in
1865 has to say about it:
“Our item of yesterday about
frailing skirts has produced a burst
of indignation.
A deputation of ladies in long
robes waited on our Local yesterday
