TIE NEW ERA EDITION.

HE CALL is in its home The New
Era edition that celebrated the home coming
has been published Every voter in Califor-
MA, and thousands of persons beyond the State,
have now the means of learning the conditions Of
California life to-day and the bright prospects that
glow on the horizon of the immediate future.
It is with satisfaction The Call invites public at
tention to the edition. 1t in respect
a mere holiday advertising number filled
with freaks and fakes designed to catch
the fancy of the careless for a day 1t was
IN the main valuable compendium OF the resources
and industries of the State made by men for
an important purpose. 1t merits careful study. and
will undoubtedly receive it from all who take in
telligent interest in California industries
The edition contained $4,000 copies. 1t is the
intention that every voter in California whose name
and address can be obtained shall receive one, in
order that all may know what the conditions of
California, what problems OF industry and commerce
demand solution, what clouds, if any, threaten the
welfare of her people, and what bright promises are
revealed for them in the general prospects OF the
time
In preparing the edition The Call received the
willing and helpful cooperation of many of the
eminent and reliable authorities in their several lines
OF work in the State. By reason OF this help the
articles which make up the chief part of the great
issue instructive they are interesting They
abound with suggestions OF valIe to those concerned
IN the industries to which they relate, and must be
studied by all who desire to acquire comprehensive
understanding of affairs in California as they now
exist
1t was no slight task to prepare and publish so
large an edition of SO large a paper in
so short a time. A few years ago such
feat would have been impossible Even in
these days of giant presses it record breaking
accomplishment. The success attained in it is a
striking proof OF the marvellous efficiency of the
plant and new appliances OF The Call office and
press rooms.
A notable feature OF the edition is the fact that it
wholly the work of Californian enterprise,
energy, skill, talent and labor The richly illumn-
ated covers and all within them were the work of
home industry. The paper can be sent abroad as an
evidence of what California do in the way Of

dawn of the new era in California Great was the
work, however it was none too great for the occa-
sion. 1t is wonderful future that awaits Golden
State, and it required something wonderful in the
way OF journalism 10 picture it the readers Of the

AVOID THE RUSH.

I ITH the beginning OF Christmas week will
\AI begin in earnest the Christmas purchasing.
HH Those who set about that task to-day will
avoid the crush of the throngs that to
crowd the shops later in the week. and they will also
have the advantage OF earlier choice OF the novel
ties displayed and more time in which to make their
selections
All things considered, this is pre-emnently the
season to put into practice the old counsel come
early and avoid the rush. Many persons who
have learned wisdom in such matters from past ex-
perience have already made their purchases and
awaiting the coming OF the great holiday with
serene minds undisturbed by the worry OF hav-
ing to shop in haste and struggle with crowds in
OIL der to have a chance to shop at ALL
To those who have the shopping yet to do the
best course is to read the advertisements in The
Call carefully learn where are be found the things
that suit you and where they offered at the best
bargains, and then go ahead Delays dangerous
this week. While you are looking for something
better the thing that pleaseS you may be sold Make
up your mind promptly transact your business with
dispatch and give others chance. That is the WIS
dom and the courtesy OF the season
All who can afford the time to make their pur-
chases before dark should do There thou
sands of people who are kept busy at their work all
day and who perforce must do their trading in the
evening 1t is only fair consideration for the
fort of Others that those who have the leisure to
shop by day should do so and leave the later hours
for the working classes.
1t is going to be busy week and gay one
The best Joy of Christmas is that which will be felt
during this week OF anticipation OF what the day will
bring If any finer Joy is fond in the realization it
is that which will come to those who have not for
charity To remember the poor with generous help
is one OF the duties OF the week and that also should
be provided for early lest in the closing rush it be
overlooked and neglected.

CHINA HND THE CHINESE.

+ It should turn out that the occupation OF
Chinese ports by Germany and Russia is the be-
i ginning OF a general movement for the partition
OF the Chinese empire, then indeed at the
dawn OF a new The breaking up of that old
empire and the establishment of European domina-
ton in all the sea coast provinces would mean vir-
tuai revolution IN the political conditions OF the
world and would also materially affect the cond-
tons OF commerce and industry
1t is the industrial aspect of the issue that is
most interesting. From merely political stand
POINT the overthrow of the Mongol empire in China
would be OF little consequence AS nation China
has counted for almost nothing in recent history.
She has no military force and her diplomacy has
been without influence The one mighty factor that
makes her interesting to the world is the Chinese
race Whether ruled by the present dynasty or by
european vceroys the would still exist, and the
most potent and far reaching effect that could be
produced by the overthrow of the empire would be
that which the change of rule might have in chang
ing the habits of the race.
The Chinese will not fight Germany and Rus
sla have occupied two of her principal ports and they
nave made no resistance. England and France can
take other ports with equal impunity and it will be
as easy to take provinces as ports Having taken
them, there remains the problem OF what to do with
the people. 1t is this problem that may be found
greater than the conquerors can master. Many ma
tons have conquered the Chinese empire. The
present dynasty is descended from a conqueror. No
people, however, has permanently overcome the
Chinese. On the contrary, that has absorbed
the conquerors, and the victors in war have in the
end been destroyed by the patient labor and treess
toll of the subugated people.
No part OF the world outside the Orient would
be more affected by the partition of China than the
Pacific Coast of the United States. The establish
ment of powerful centers of British, French, Ger
man and Russian domination on that side of the
ocean would place face to face with the aggres
sive front of European conquest The partition
would make the Pacific Ocean the principal scene
OF international strife, and California would then be
not the back but the front of the United States. 1t
would be from San Francisco that would keep
watch the rivaries of nations, and here would
be the advance guard of protection against any pos
sible aggression against

A VOICE OF DISCORD.

- OMMENTING upon the probability that
Governor Budd may declare January "a legal
~ holiday in honor OF the celebration of the if-
tieth anniversary OF the discovery OF gold in Cafor
MIA, the Redlands Citrograph says: We hope the
Governor will do no such thing. San Francisco
celebrate all she wants to- and hope she will have
d big time. But gold mined and shipped from
South California good deal longer ago than fifty
years. And there is no sense in trying to paralyze
the business OF huge State like California simply
because one city in the State wants to have cele
Dration 1t is nonsensical and unbusinesslike.
So far as we know this is the first note of dis
cord raised to disturb the harmony Of the State
this subject The proposed celebration has been re-
ceived with favor almost everywhere. The pioneers
of all sections of the State the prime movers
in it, the Native Sons and Native Daghters OF all
counties united in supporting it, and the miners not
cnly co-operated with the original movement, but
added to it the further enterprise OF grand expo
stion of mines and mining. The press OF the State
has been cordial in its approval and the Citrograph
alone shows signs OF sulking.
Whether the anniversary is made a legal holi-
Gay or not matter but little The day will be
celebrated in San Francisco and people from all sec
tons of the State will take part in it. In the mining
exposition the mineral resources OF Southern Cali
fornia will have ample and impressive showing,
and mutitudes of visitors will study them 1t is of
little moment if "gold was mined and shipped from
Southern California a good deal longer than fifty
years ago" The issue is to have gold mined and
shipped now. 1t is to promote the present industry
even than to celebrate the past that the day is
to be made notable and the exposition opened
The Alaskan mining excitement will draw to
the Pacific Coast this winter thousands of persons
eager to invest in mining property. If we show
good investments of the kind nearer home than
Alaska we will retain many persons and large
amounts of capital that otherwise will go to the
north. This therefore is opportunity. 1t offers
benefits to all who take part in the exposition but
none to those who stand aside and kick. II the
Citrograph will study the situation with its usual
intelligence it will find for joining the process
sion and marching with the movement instead Of
raising the silly cry that is attempt to paralyze
the industry OF the State in order to make holiday
for San Francisco.
