ROBERT STEVENSON AND HIS
FATHER.

Editor CdN-SIR: ! am sure that the able
writer who penned the sympathetic notice of
R. L. Stevenson in last Sundays CALL will be
glad to correct very unfortunate impression
which he seems to have received from some
quarter quite unknown to me. He speaks of
''the iron of his fathers contempt and casting
off," had the happiness to be intimately
known to Stevensons father and l can youch
for the fact that the father was proud of the
son and the son was devoted to the father.
The mutual admiration and respect pictured
was indeed singularly touching on the part OF
two men whose aims in life were SO wide apart
and yet who each in his own sphere achieved
distinction To all lovers of literature this cor
rection will be, l am sure, very intense pleas
ure. Faithfully yours, CHARLES BAXTER.

lensburg tWash.) Capital says: "Unfor-
tunately we have men high in polltlcai
places who are so ignorant of the geogra-
ply OF the Republic that they literally
know no North, no Southland more par
ticularly no West. They are narrow and
lopsided, provincial and un-American. BY
reason of this they should have an object
lesson, and this lesson can only be had by
inviting them to come West and widen
their views and expand their circum-
scrlbed horizon" The man who doubts
the wisdom of this statement would doubt
the wisdom of an invitation to dinner.
Decidedly there are too many statesmen
who know no West, and it is about time
Tor them to come out of the Eastern
kindergarten and get National education.
Evidently we are living in festai State.
Where there isn't fiesta, there is some
thing else woven of roses and chuck full OF
fun. For example, the Pasadena Star says:
"Los Angeles fiesta and Santa Barbara's
hower-festival are all very well In their
way, but Pasadena has the drop on two
still more original events, to wit, the
tournament of roses and the pageant OF
roses" 1t must be conceded these names
sound well, and it was lucky thought OF
Pasadena to bring them forth as twins. In
that form they will hold supremacy until
some town starts a three-ring circus OF
roses and menagerie of beauty under one
tent.
Under the heading of "a bee line" the
Lemoore Leader says: clay straight edge
down on the map, with one end at Walkers
Pass in the Sierras, and the other at the
Pacheco Pass in the Coast Range, and 1T
passes through Lemoore. 1t will require
an effort and involve additional expense
for the main line of the San Francisco and
San Joaquin Railway to miss u.s." That is
one kind of bee line, but the Leader
points out another and better kind by
saying: "a little effort on our part to
show up the advantages of this section as
natural, short and easy route for the new
road would result in having our claims in
vestigated by the management. Can you
see the point2" If the readers of the
Leader do not see the point they must be
blind. The first bee line is mere geography,
but the second bee line means 'get there"

OUR EXCHANGES.

1t is the opinion of the Santa Cruz Senti-
mel that San Francisco will continue to be
strong candidate for the honor of enter
tanning the next Republican National Con-
vention until about the time to decide,
when ''she will be found not in it." 1t is
evident the Sentinel has been sleeping at
his post and doesn't see the situation
rightly. San Francisco has no desire to be
in the convention. The thing is to have
the convention in San Francisco. Nearly
every other large city in the Union has
favorite candidate, and will desire to be in
the convention to stampede the delegates
that are opposed to him. San Francisco,
for that very reason, offers the fairest field
to all the candidates, and assures to each
an unprejudiced environment. This fact
is bound to have weight with the National
Committee in selecting the place for the
convention, and it will be found one of
the strongest arguments in our favor that
no matter what conflict may arise we will
not be in it.

In commenting upon an editorial in the
CALL, commencing the people of Santa
Barbara for the prompt energy displayed
in rebuilding the floral pavilion when
destroyed by fire on the very eve of the
fiesta, the Los Angeles Times says: 1.-THE
State seems to have awakened fully to the
fact that progress is the law under which
the southern counties have been doing
business during the past few years. Our
fiestas and fairs are good things to draw
our people together into closer contact
and through these means to dispel igno-
rance and Misrepresentation. AS we be-
come better acquainted we shall come to
have more pride in our great State as a
whole and shall realize more fully that our
interests are mutual and interdependent.n
Words like these are fortunately becoming
common now, but they cannot be too often
repeated. In the truest sense they are
flowers of language that embody festal
sentiments and are well fitted to the cele-
bration of the new birth of enterprise and
State patriotism. The swift work of Santa
Barbara in rebuilding her pavilion was in
deed commendable, and hardly less so is
the generous praise which the rival fiesta
city of Los Angeles has joined the rest of
the State in giving her.
The ever vivacious Woodland Democrat
says in its usual happy-go-l lucky, slap
bang style that "when the National Re-
publican Convention has nominated a
candidate dictated by Wall street, as it
will do, it will be an amusing spectacle to
watch the wriggling of the CALL, Chronicle
and other free silver newspapers" No
doubt such an affair will be amusing
enough when it happens, but it won't hap
pen. In the meantime, however, our
Woodland contemporary can find the
amusement it wishes in watching the
wriggle of the Democratic newspapers over
the Democratic President, whose nomina-
ton was dictated by Wall street.
