CONGRESS TO RESTORE FLAGS

By a unanimous vote the Nation
al House of Representatives the
past week adopted Congressman
Lambs resolution providing for
the return to the Southern States
of the hundreds of Confederate
battle flags captured by Federal
troops during the Civil War. For
forty years these trophies of one
of the bloodiest wars of history
have been locked up in a vault OF
the Treasury Department, and
their return by Congress to the
States from whence they came
shows how completely the passions
engendered by the fratricidal con
fict have disappeared and how
closely and firmly the country is
united today. From 1861 to 1906
is far cry, and in the years that
have elapsed new generations have
been born and much has occurred
to weld the people of the two sec
lions together in the bonds of mus
tual affection and esteem.

LIGHTS our AT SIXTY YEARS

DR.. Osler, late of Johns Hopkins
University, but who is about to
leave us to become the head of the
Medical School at Oxford, takes
occasion in his farewell remarks to
give us his opinions concerning one
or two things. He thinks men &C
complish nothing after they are 40
years old, while men who have
reached so should be chlOroformed.
Says the Doctor:
In the sciences, in art, in litera-
ture, in the science of the art OF
medicine, there has not been an
advance of the first rank which
has not been initiated by young or
comparatively young men.
NV second fixed idea is the use
lessness of men above go years OF
age. and the incalculable benefit it
would be in commercial, political
and professional life, if, as mat
ter of course, men stopped work
at this age;
AS it can be maintained that all
the great advances have come from
men under 40, so the history of the
world shows that very large pro
portion of the evils may be traced
to the sexagenarians-nearly al
the great mistakes, politically and
Isocially, all the worst poems and
most Of the bad pictures, major
ity of the bad novels, not few o.
the bad sermons and speeches"
While DR.. Osler can cite many
instances to support his contention
he ought to be aware that many
can be cited to disprove it.
| While the years of a mans lift
before he reaches 40 cover the pc
riod of his greatest daring and en-
ergy and enthusiasm and capacit!
to study and to learn and store hi
memory, often ipeness and breadth
and the soundest wisdom lie beyond
| that age.

and Of people who come from the East
and North to winter in that milder
climate, is one that is counted by the
tens of thousands. There can be no
doubt that the population of Los Ange-
les and of neighboring cities and re-
sorts is growing so rapidly, not so
much because of the development of
natural resources, as because of the
tremendous influx of visitors.
If there were no other evidence of the
magnitude, character and importance
of this tide of travel, abundant proof
of it would be found in the character
and class of the hotels that are being
built and opened to take care of it.
Take such a hotel as the Potter at
Santa Barbara, a hotel that has al
ready by its size, it's architectural
beauty, its surroundings and the at
fractions it offers, taken it's place as
one of the worlds we'll known hotels.
Its existence and prosperity proves the
immense volume of travel that pours
annually from the east through the
Southern California gates. The Ange-
lus, the new and magnificent hotel at
Los Angeles, is another piece Of evil
dence to prove the volume of tourist
and pleasure travel, and the continued
prosperity of the Hotel Green at Pas
sadena, one of the large and worldwide
known hotels, proves that this tide Of
travel is a permanent and continuing
source of growth and development to
the state. These are only cited as
Illustrations of what is a condition
throughout the resort portions of South
ern California. The number and mag
nificence of the hotels i'm that region is
source of wonder and surprise to the
visitor, as well as being testimony to
/ the greatness of tourist and pleasure
travel as a resource of any country that
has the attractions that draw tourists,
to offer, and will properly exploit them.
/ But what Southern California has
now become as a Mecca of tourists and
winter sojourners, she has become
through persistent and continuous adj
I vertising and promotion. The people
of Southern California have exploited
the advantages they had to offer to the
seeker after health, recreation, or
pleasure, and now they are reaping
their reward.
In the beginning the people of South
not quite as great disadvantages as
Hawaii does, or did. 1t was distant.
It was expensive to reach But the
work has been kept up. New agencies
have been enlisted. The tide of travel
has grown to a volume that makes II
one Of the chief resources of that par;
of the state.
What has been done i'm Southern Cal
ifornia can be done here not in a year
not in a short time, but i'm an ever in
creasing tide of travel, bringing with
it an increase in permanent population
and a development of natural resour-
ces, There is more to be looked for in
the way of building up a permanent
white American population through a
| development of the tourist traffic of the
Islands, by making this a winter re-
sort, a place where people come to
spend their vacations, than probably
through any other channel Immediately
open to us. Through this means too
