UNKINDLY BRETHREN

Have the newspapers Of Northern
and Central California no state pride,
that they should criticisc, abuse and
misreprcsent everything south Of the
Tehachapi, as though this we're alien
and hated land?
Surely there is enough glorious sun
shine and prosperity in this state to
spread over every spot OF enchanted
ground from Siskiyou to San Diego
and from the desert TO tho sea, with
out anybody turning green with envy
or bursting with passion because there
happens to be a little more sunshine, or
a little different brand OF glory, in one
spot than another.
Here is the Stockton Mail appealing
to its people to plant dates and palms.
avowedly for the purpose Of showing
easterners that "the climate OF this
part of the state is i'm many respects
superior to that of Southern Callfor-
nia," an appeal that meets with the
hearty approval OF the Oakland Herald
The Sacramento Bee has recently put
over its Northern California news page
and Keeps standing, a streamer head
line, Superior California"
The Oakland Tribune, in n lengthy
answer to n question from The Herald
as to orange growing UP north, says:
"Thc Southern Californians were driven
to orange growing because there was
no other profitable crop they could
produce on large scale under the con-
ditions existing below Tehachapi."
This, too, in face of the known fact that
Southern California produces more hay,
barley, wheat and vegetables than any
other section of the golden west.
Now Los Angeles doesn't care if the
whole of Northern California goes to
raising oranges to the very summit of
the eternal snow heaps of Mount
Shasta. If our county can ship $4,000
carloads of oranges every year why
should we object if Humboldt or Trinity
should shovel the snow off their roofs
and produce 10000 or $4,000 carloads of
oranges? We are not quarrellng with
Fresno because it is the greatest raisin-
grower in this country; nor with the
San Joaquin valley because of its glori-
Gus fruits and grapes; nor with the
Sacramento valley because of its Won
derful agriculture. We are simply
observing, with panied amusement, the
antics of our northern friends in trying
to do something that nature never in
tended they should do-all because i'm
migration from the east is pouring into
Southern California and passing by por-
tions of this state that are rich and
glorious in other directions.
st. Paul doesn't quarrel with New
Orleans because it cannot raise pepper
trees, nor does New York envy Palm
Beach because it cannot grow palms in
it's front yard Each has its own field
of usefulness and its own points of
superiority.
Southern Calirnia wins because of it's
splendid climate, its never failing sun
shine and its effort to "stick to its own
blackberry BUSH" And so, a merry
Christmas to you, Mr.. Up North.

TO DISCUSS DIVORCE EVIL
Protestant Clergy Will Call a Mass
Meeting to Arouse Public
Opinion

To discuss the divorce evil the
Protestant churches of Los Angeles will
call mass meeting early in the new
year to arouse public opinion and to
secure passage of a national divorce
law. A committee has been appointed
by the various churches, which has
drawn up a platform regarding the
divorce evil. DR.. B. F. McLaren, pas
tor of the Boyle Heights Presbyterian
church, heads the committee on mar
riage and divorce.
The divorce habit. as it is styled, has
been discussed by the local clergymen
many times, and it is expected by this
public action to bring results. The
clergy differ widely in regard to the
divorce law, some holding that in many
cases divorce solves domestic problems
in many families, while others hold
that it is not justifiable except on
scriptural grounds.

STOLEN MONEY A SOCIAL BAR

From the Hartford Courant:
There are men who love dollars sim
ply for the sound of their Jingle, and
others who seek riches simply for the
power they bring, but the great mass
of those who are trying to roll up
fortunes are in pursuit of the social
privileges that wealth affords. If it
were plain to all these last that stolen
money was a bar. not hoist; that
to be thief was to forfeit ones chance
to enter the coveted circles. then the
real remedy for the rot that has spread
so wide would be at hand. But there
are precious few signs of any such
sentiment.
