CALIFORNIA AT ITS BEST.
The whole Pacific slope VIII Make n
Holiday of 1t.

Holiday of 1t.
The Rights Templar who will attend
the Triennial Conclave in San Francisco
next September have scarce faint idea
what pleasure awaits them on the Pa
cific Coast. They will get a taste OF
Western hospitality long before they
redch the Golden Gate. From the time
they cross the mountains their journey
will be one continuous ovation. Wheth-
err they travel over the Northern route,
by way of Ogden, Salt Lake. Portland,
Gre, Puget Sound cities. or come over
tire Southern route, passing through
the paradise OF the Western hemis-
phere their progress will be one round
of constant festivities. At every town
and city the people will assemble at the
depot upon arrival of the Templar
trains. extend cordial greetings to the
IiIgrims, offer them the Inequalities OF
the town, show them the special re-
sources of that particular section, offer
them souvenirs and show them such
other courtesies as the inhabitants will
be able to crowd into the short space
while the pilgrims will tarry among
them. Special arrangements for the re-
|ception and entertainment of the trav-
elers have been made in all places in
which a Templar Conimandery is sta
toned.
Nearly every train coming from the
East will enter California from one end
and return by the opposite direction,
thus affording the greatest stretch OF
country possible. California covers a
Latitude equal to that from Canada to
the Gulf of Mexico. with perhaps q
greater variety of temperature, scenery,
pre- ducts and greater wonders than can
be seen on the rest of the American
continent. Traversing California from
the extreme south to the north, the pill
grims will have an opportunity to see
the rich mining regions which have
supplied the worlds stock OF the pre-
cious metal which has CREASED the
wheels OF commerce for the past half
century. They will see miles of or
thards, vineyards, orange groves, the
largest hopyards in the world, wheat
fields larger than some counties in the
8. ates, lofty mountains, and many OF
the natural wonders of California
The fare for the round trip Is to be
made the lowest in the history of trans
continental travel. That may be one
Involvement for people TO make the trip,
though net the only one During the
Conclava. before and after, the people
OF California, all the people of the whole
Pacific slope, will entertain the visit
ors at an endless round OF festivities.
Tourists will have an opportunity to
aX all themselves of the numerous ex-
lcursions and side trips at a nominal
cost, see California at its very best, and
lenjoy the generous hospitality of the
real westerners. The event is to be
made the most memorable of any gath
ering on the Pacific slope.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE IS, 1904.
BRYAN.s ABSURD OBJECTION.

1t is now said that Mr. Bryan objects
available because the Judge failed to
vote for him in 1896. II that Is a
valid objection then Bryan himself was
not available for the Democratic nonhi-
nation in 1896 or 1900. 1t matters not
what excuse he gives. or what reason
he assigns, the fact that he did not
vote for Cleveland in 1892 is and should
have barred him from the nomination,
according to his own reasoning.
But was there ever anything in
politics more unuttsFably silly than
this sort of argument which Mr.. Bry-
an IS so fond of using? 1t must be
remembered that others than Judge
Gray have fallen under his ban for the
same absurd reason. We do not know
whether the Judge did or did not vote
for the apostle of cheap money in 1896
II he failed to do so it was strictly
a matter of principle with him.
A large minority, If not an actual
majority, of the Democrats in 1900 were
thoroughly convinced that Mr.. Bryan
ought not to prevail, but most of them
voted for him largely on the score of
regularity.
Yet here comes this stickler for
dangerous and discredited theory who
himself failed to vote for the best can
didate the Democrats have had since
the war and places his ban on a sound
ct pA
wei qualified for the Presidency be-
cause that man, it is alleged. refused
TO yield his honest convictions for the
credit OF being called regular"
1t is rank impertinence, to use no
harsher term, but Mr.. Bryan has
standard of measurement for Democrats
which he uses on all of them. 1t mat
tiers not with him that he does not
measure up to it hinself--he applies
1T to all whose names are even men
toned as possible Presidential candi-
dates. He should not be considered
for the nomination because he did not
vote for Me-" is the argument he uses
in all cases.
So far as Judge Gray Is concerned
the probabilities He is really in the
prime of life. Democrat OF the old
school served In the United States
Senate is now Judge Of the Federal
Circuit Court, and has held other posi-
lions OF honor and Importance, in all
OF which he has acquitted himself
with credit That he would make a
strong candidate is no doubt true and
that he would make a good President
is still less doubtful, for he is good
material for the position.
We can freely say all this for him
without being considered an advocate
Of his nomination. We look on Par
ker as the man to nominate, but as
we have frequently observed nothing
is sure in politics, 1t may be that
when the test comes it will be found
impossible to nominate him. and then
the honor will be for the man who can
get it. That man may be Gray, or it
may be Olney, or Shepard, or Cleveland,
or John Sharp Williams, or 1t may be
a man not yet known among the can
didates. OF one thing we feel pretty
sure. and that is that the convention
will not be led or frightened away
from any man by Mr. Bryan's objee-
tions to his regularity" Unless we
greatly mistake that body it viii not

soured and diseredited visionary.

Democrats who are apprehensive of
the effect of Mr.. Bryan's appearance in
the National Democrats Convention as

met in Chicago in 1884.
