STILL FIGHTING LOS ANGELES

The North California newspapers,
frantic in their anxiety over the rapid
development of Southern California,
appear to have lost their heads COM
pletely. They imagine that the way
to build up the north is to pull down
the south. 1t has not occurred to
them, apparently, that the place to ad-
vertise is in the east, where people
are calmly and dispassionately weigh
ing the marvellous tales of the Golden
West.
Here is the Oakland Herald, for in
stance, calling upon the chamber of
commerce of that city to establish "a
bureau of information at Los Angeles
for the enlightenment of eastern vis-
itors who come to California with an
inadequate idea of the attractions and
advantages of Northern California"
1t hasn't occurred to the esteemed
Herald that such course is in the
nature of beginning a job at the top
IT it be true that any considerable
number of easterners are not apprised
of the attractions of Northern Califor-
mia, whose fault is it? And why begin
to remedy the matter at Los Angeles? =?
1t seems to us that the place of begin
ming should be on the other side of the
Rocky mountains. Why does not the
north establish bureaus in New York
and Boston instead of coming down to
Los Angeles to grab at the fruit which
this city has earned and brought to
California? The Oakland Herald tries
to explain itself in the following re-
markable language:
Hundreds of thousands of tourists
yearly visit the southern cities ana
towns and return to their eastern.
homes without seeing the most fertile
and most productive counties of the
state; or II they see them it is merely
from railroad train on their home-
ward journey, or this number there

found conditions satisfactory In the
south 10 encourage their removal 10
California. Possibly property values
are too high, the climate is too ener
waiting and monotonous. water Is too
scarce, or some other local deficiency
has discouraged them.
Isn't that the argument OF the bow
bully who finds a smaller boy with a
big red apple? Take II away from himl

POST0FFICE TRUSTING SPOT
Chicago Buildings Corridors Are AL
ready Named Doves Roost and
Sweethearts' Lane

Special TO The Herald.
CHICAGO, Dec. 23.--Nooks and cor
ners of the new federal building have
already been turned into trysting places
for Cupid. Billing and cooling by love-
sick couples has resulted in the affiX-
ing Of descriptive titles to certain por-
tions of the edifce. The corridor on
the seventh floor has come to be known
as Lovers lane" The dark stairway
leading from the eighth floor to the
dome has earned the title of Doves
roost"
Sweethearts are especially numerous
in the building at noon. They are
mostly of the department store kind
and meet at some sheltered retreat i'll
the massive structure to make love
and eat lunch together. Federal office
holders and persons entering the build
ing on business have been startled by
humping into these couples at almost
every turn.
This state of affairs was brought to
light by Il fight between secret service
operative, Lawrence Richie, and a fed
eral watchman, Samuel Miller. A COM
plaint against the use of the building
for clandestne meetings recently was
lodged with Marshal Ames, custodian
OF the building. He issued an order to
Miller, who does policeman's duty on
the lower floor, TO keep every one NOV
ing who did not explain his business
satisfacto torily.
When Miller approached Richie the
latter gave him % surly answer, and
Miller attempted to eject him from the
building. Richie knocked the watch
man down twice. Miller attacked
Richie with a knife and cut his over
coat to ribbons before the fight was
stopped. Marshal Ames has suspended
Miller, pending an investigation

Don't waste time earning your own red
apple; just trip the fellow up and
take It. Tho north hasn't time or the
knowledge TO get its immigration
directly from original sources, so it
needs must establish a bureau down
here to muddy the water and divert
the stream. The program is small and
hopeless.
What a difference between the lam
guage of the Oakland Herald and that
of 70. E. Leake of the Yolo chamber
Of commerce, who, in a recent speech
in San Francisco, said:
The extraordinary development we
have witnessed in the southern part OF
the state is the result Of organized eff
fort. Speaking for Yolo county. we do
not envy the south for any of the
prosperity 1t has achieved. We admire
its pluck, its energy its progressive
ness and its public spirit. Indeed we
cannot afford to be sectional in our
efforts to develop the great state we
all love so well. We are all Calfor-
mans. We are animated by the same
purposes and inspired by the same mo-
tlves. Let us, then, work together in
fornia, this noble heritage that God
has given us; this land where nature
has been so prodigal with her favors
and where there is so much to remind
us OF the blessings that have been
showered upon us; where the skies
overhead are so blue; where towering
peaks make n profile against the skies
as clear and well defined as If cut with
sculptor's chisel: where the birds
sing their sweetest roundelays and the
flowers shed their richest fragrance.
Living i'm this land, warmed by the
most genial sunshine that ever shone
full from the face of heaven, and
cooled by the most delicious breezes
that ever called into existence the
flowers of n fair land, and surrounded
by the righteousness of Gods bounty
let us pledge anew our fealty to the
greatest state in the American union
That's the sort of talk that wins. A
spirit of that kind must first be devel-
oped in Northern California before
The south is solid. 1t has always
moved as one man. 1t has never de-
preciated the beauties and resources
of Northern California. On the con-
trary, it has gone about the upbuild-
ing of the south. as Mr.. Leake SAYS, in
an organized and patriotic way, with
results so marvellous that even our
good brethren of the north are moved
to envy and desperation. Undertaking
to seize by brute force or inuendo that
which Los Angeles has rightfully
earned shows a lack of patriotism. if
not common sense, on the part of the
Northern California newspapers They
may consult Mr. Leake with great
profit
