SO unfair as to permit Misrepresentation
in its name of Central and Northern Cali
fornia under the mistaken idea that the
way to rise is by pulling Others down. 1t
did not for long time apply for admis-
sion to the State Board of Trade, and gen.
orally, by its localism, it has driven the
north and center to the adoption of such
sectional or district advertising as it has
engaged in, since it was found to be i'm
possible to secure the cooperation Of the
south.
We believe with our contemporary that
the true friends OF the southern belts have
at last realized the unwisdom of these d.
visions of effort, and that sectional jealousy
is on the decline. The recital we have in
dulged in has not been advanced to re-
kindle local preiudices, but simply to en-
phasize the folly of renewing sectional
efforts, such as the sending ont of dis

would be the old story over again of con-
tending and rival sections of State, the
interests of the people of which are mu-
tual. 1t would do the State more injury
as whole than would be compensated for

reap If our exhibition of California pro-

What we want to preach to the East is
California and each and every part and
portion thereof, and we therefore welcome
the expression of the Champion as broad
minded and wise and, applauding it, COM
mend it to the attention and thoughtful
consideration of all our southern con-
temporaries.

faithful workers it would have been much wiser
TO urge the people generally to use a most vaIu.
able advertising medium. The State Board Is
acting fairly and literally toward the southern
counties, but if these counties will not place
exhibits and printed matter in its rooms nc
