THE BIRTH OF FELLOWSHIP.

The Los Angeles Express cheerfully
agrees with the sentiment expressed by
the CALL that 'the interests of all parts of
California are the interests of San Fran
CISCO" And, while it charges, perhaps
with sufficient foundation of truth to
entitle its assertion at least to respectful
attention, that "there is too much of the
idea prevailing in San Francisco that it is
the only place on this Coast" and "that
she should no more be expected to inter
est herself in the rest of the State than a
grown man would be expected to go out
and play marbles on the street corner with
a crowd of boys" it generously refrains
from singing the old song of Southern Cal
ifornia's superiority over the rest of the
State, and expresses a desire for the pros
perity of all parts of California.
1t is true that wise consideration of her
own interests might years ago have made
San Francisco more alert to the Importance
OF lending her sympathy, enterprise and
capital to all parts of the State. For her
shortcomings in this regard she has suf-
fered abundantly and justly, and in addi-
ton to this she has received due punish
ment and disgrace from neglect of her in
ternal affairs.
But all this is past and gone. The first
departure from the old order came when
the Merchants Association began to clean
the streets and take pride in the appear
ance of the City, and then, feeling at last
the great heart of the whole State pulsa-
ting in harmony with her own, she has
stretched forth her arms and taken to her
bosom that splendid garden through which
the San Joaquin wends its shining way to
the sea. Into these smiling plains will she
now pour her boarded millions, and be the
benefactor that one is who makes a flower
grow where none had grown before. Is
not this splendid evidence that San Fran
cisco has awakened from dreamless sleep
and will nourish and fraternize with her
sisters and children wherever they may be2
