THE MEXICAN EXPOSITION

The Chamber of Commerce of Los An
geles should begin to bestir itself in an
effort to place Southern California in evil
dence at the International Exposition of
Industries and Fine Arts in the City of
Mexico. Ground will be broken for the
exposition on April I'd, and the inaugural
ceremonies will take place one year later.
There is ample time for the collection and
arrangement of a special display, and this
very important commercial advertisement
should not be postponed to the last mo-
ment. This section of the state has not
heretofore been backward in taking adj
vantage of similar opportunities, and the
results of every effort have been profit
able. We certainly appreciate the value
of giving information regarding our re-
sources, and we have frequently proved to
our personal satisfaction that the benefits
derived from that method are more sub
stantial than those that accrue by waiting
for the world to make inquiry regarding
them.
The Mexican Exposition will cover 800
acres of ground-nearly square mile-as
against 100 for the Midwinter Fair. 1t
will be divided into three courts. The
Grand Court, National Court and Foreign
Court, and the Foreign Court alone will
comprise about 300 acres. The projectors
are confident that they will have display
which will be second only to the World S
Fair at Chicago.
The Chamber OF Commerce at Los An
geles is the representative commercial
body of California, and it is within the
province of this organization to take the
initiative. We are closer to Mexico than
any other section of the United States,
and we produce many things that. the
Mexicans want and are willing to pay for.
A permanent trade with Mexico, such as
may be secured through proper display
at this Exposition will constitute another
market for all we have to sell and mar
ket in which we need not fear competi-
ton. If Los Angeles should ever embark
in manufacturing industries the most
available outlet for the product would be
in Mexico. The results would be imme-
date and whatever we had to offer would
Immediately enjoy virtual monopoly,
especially if we make the proper impress
sion by an attractive and useful display at
this Exposition.
There is money in it for Southern Cali
fornia, and the Chamber of Commerce is
the medium through which it should
flow

TWO CALIFORNIA BOOKS
EUGENE FIELD

There are but two books read in Califor-
MIA; one is Helen Hunts Ramona and
the other is the Whittier Birthday Book.
You cannot go anywhere between Fresno
and Tia Juana without having pointed
out to you the house where Ramona
lived. There are no fewer than sixty OF
it. We have made a special study OF Ra-
mona and her career. and we are satisfied
that Mrs. Hunt drew very largely upon
h er Imagination when she wrote that
romance. and we think she ought to be
turned over to the remorseless Judgment
of Hamlin Garland, who hath come to

husband, was not murdered, as Mrs.
Hunt alleges. His last days were spent
at San Juan Capistrano and they were
devoted to getting drunk-not wildly or
hilariously. but just loggily. soddenly
drunk. One time he secured quart bot
tie of whisky at the hotel kept by old Mrs.
Mendelssohn, and he went out into the
climate and lay down under a palm
tree. In two hours he was as dead as if
he had taken prussic acid. Judge Dick
Egan held an inquest on the remains and
rendered verdict in accordance with the
testimony afforded by the empty whisky
bottle. By the way, this Mrs. Mendel-
Capistrano is quite character. 1t was
she who originated the philosophical and
memorable saying: when you're in
Rome do as Romans do"
But as for Ramona. she still lives Gas we
are told and as we believe) at San Juan
Capistrano. We saw her as we journeyed
to and from San Diego. Upon the first
occasion she came aboard the train, SELL
ing insect powder in small, brown paper
packages. She was o'erburdened with
the infirmities OF age rather than with
clothing and her appearance served AS a
most eloquent tribute to the propriety OF
the trade in which she was engaged.
When we came back from San Diego
Ramona's house was pointed out to us as
we pulled slowly through San Juan Capis-
trano, and we saw Ramona in the back
ward butchering a hog.

APOLOGY AND INDEMNITY

The United States is involved in three
distinct quarrels with foreign govern
ments Spanish gunboat has fired on
an American mail steamer; all American
mob has injured British subject in New
Orleans; and some citizens OF Colorado
took the liberty of lynching half dozen
Italian murdelers. 1t is not likely that
any of these little differences will amount
to much 1t will be proved to the salts
faction of our State Department that the
Alliancia aft ir was merely an excess of
Spanish courtesy based on the custom
prevalent on the Spanish main of COM
pellng American merchantmen to ''heave
to- whenever the proud hidalgo of the
high seas desires to assert his authority.
Spain will apologize as usual, and Ami
rante Don Caesar de Bazan, shifting his
sombrero to the other side Of his cabeza,
will boast in the presence of admiring
landsmen of Havana OF how he made the
hated Gringo run. The Italian episode
will also be adjusted; pro ably by pay
ment OF American dollars as indemnity to
the families of the signors who were
hanged. An Italian is easily appeased,
and the bitterest vendetta may be placated
with money. The only difficulty will
arise in assessing the damage. 1t is not
necessary to pay as much for a
dead Italian monkey as for a dead
organ grinder of the same nationality,
and an Italian count would come rather
high considering the intrinsic inconse-
quence of the corpse. But it is not likely
that any OF the pirates who were hanged
in Colorado will be rated higher than or
binary lazzaroni, and their heirs will not
get more than a few hundred dollars
| apiece for the remains. Why the Ameri-
can Government should pay a cent for the
cadavers is what puzzles the average ma
| tive of this country who is in the habit OF
! dying abroad in any manner that may
suit the foreigners who dispose of him,
| and making no fuss about it-least of all
demanding coin indemnity for his ex-
! tirpation. In the matter of the British
| subject our olfense is somewhat more
. grievous. England never permits her
subjects to be maltreated while abroad
without demanding ample PREPARATION
from the oifendin nation in which the
Outrage was committed. 1t will be
necessary in th.3 instance to show that

Santa Cruz has revolted against the

have organized and undertaken to give

the right direction. The next will be for

A Woman,s Paradise

A woman's paradise exists in the In
dian ocean. The tiny island OF Minicoy,
midway between the Maldive and Lacca-
dive group, is entirely under feminine
rule, the men humbly taking the second
place on every occasion. The woman is
the head of both the government and the
home, and when she marries her husband
takes her name and hands over all his
earnings throughout his married life.
SILK gowns are the universal wear, the
upper classes donning red silk and ear
rings, while the lower ten appear in dark
striped silk of coarser quality.
