CALL OF THE POPPY FIELDS

Just at the moment when the east
and the middle west had about decided
that they had evolved climate rival
ing that of Southern California, the
bottom dropped out of their thermom-
eter, the mercury fell below zero and
everything and everybody froze up,
good and hard and fast" Hence
forth until the first Of May, when the
cyclone season shall formally open, the
easterners will shiver and shake AMI
rustic for coal and wrestle with bursted
water pipes and suffer from pneumonia
and grippe and long for death in an
even tempered, fiery furnace.
They have yet one ray of hope and
promise. All the roads to Los Angeles
are still open-crowded, to be sure, but
always with room for one more. Here
we have no extremes Of heat or cold;
here it is always spring or summer;
here the fuel question is nearly elimin-
ated and the water pipes never freeze;
here is perpetual verdure, beauteous
sunshine and the unfailing gladness of
nature.
Isn't it strange that anybody will
persist in living in the rigorous eastern
and northern climates, when natures
most perfect work is calling to them
from the poppy fields and the orange
groves of Southern California?
But they are coming fast enough
so fast, in fact, that the people already
here are taxed to their utmost to pro-
vide for their reception. Blizzards and
storms and snowfelds and sunstrokes
are good advertisements for Southern
California. A few cyclones and tor
nadoes, thrown in for good measure,
will eventually uproot enough citizens
Of the east and transplant them TO
this country in numbers sufficient to
populate every available acre between
the Tehachapi pass and the Mexican
line. Let them all come and welcome.

SYmphonY Concert

The third concert of the symphony
series was given yesterday at Mason
opera house to the usual fashionable
and select gathering which patronizes
these musical treats.
The principal feature of the program
was the symphony, Aus der neuen
Welt" and Director Hamilton dis
played unusual cleverness in his direc-
tion of the Largo" This composition
Is u work of art that should be studied
more by our modern composers, as it
portrays realism of the pure and true
sort and is not contaminated by the
realism" or, rather, "unrealism," of
some other modern composers who in
sist on using dynamic theatrical ef-
fectS for music of the soul, music that
Bach began, Beethoven developed and
Dvorak in his Largo" makes eminent.
Although the themes come from the
negro, the treatment Of them is so re-
fined that effect is Unique in its presen-
tation.
Miss Estelle Catherine Heartt was the
soloist and sang the "Traume," by
Wagner. Miss Heartt was in good
voice and sang an exceedingly pretty
encore with orchestral accompaniment.
The Suite of Mcdowell is in some
places dry and undressing. although
the ending piece, Forest Spirits" is
novel and realistic. The ending of this
piece reaches a brilliant climax, which
is the charm of MacDowell's compost
tiOnS.

while playing with schoolmates at the
East First Street school.
A man who said his name was
Simons was driving past the school
with one horse attached TO a light
buggy when the child ran under the
animals feet.
The horse seemed to see the little girl
and understand the situation, for the
animal, which was not going at rapid

body, and the youngster was only
slightly injured by the wheel Of the
vehicle, which passed over her right
leg.

While in San Francisco the Murillo art

BANNER OF DEMOCRACY

DnlNlNLh VT DLllVOhhOA
II am a Democrat" said former Con-
gresham Ben Caldwell Of Illinois In
yesterdays Herald. "some people ask
me II I am a Bryan Democrat or a
Cleveland Democrat but I do not
know Of any living man after whom I
fashion my politics"
This Is the sentiment that is be-
ginning to actuate every true and loyal
Democrat in the country. The Bryan
Democrats and the Cleveland Demo-
Gratis are disappearing-merg into a
single Democratic organization, at
tached to the interests or peculiar pollt-
ioal principles of no one living man.
"Get together and keep together"
says Chairman spellacy Of the Callfor-
MIA state Democratic committee. It Is
the watchword Of California Democracy
and the sentiment Is spreading to
every state in the Union Even in old
Missouri, that has been torn asunder
by divisions into Folk Democrats and
Francis Democrats, Bryan Democrats
and Cleveland Democrats, the work of
Iharmonizlng has begun and begun prop
erly by the elimination of the indi-
vidual leader.
There are stirring times ahead in
this country, and 1t is to the Demo-
cratic party that the people will
eventually turn to secure marked
changes in Federal and state govern
ment, if the Democracy shall he found
we'll organized, harmonious and fully
abreast of the times. But It must drop
It's personal followings. 1t may con-
tinue to respect its leaders. It may re-
ceive some advice from Mr.. Cleveland
and some from Mr.. Bryan, but there
must not be Cleveland Democrats and
Bryan Democrats.
The party was rent asunder on the
financial question. That issue has set
tied itself for years to come, and the
question that divided the party is
therefore dead as a doornail. New is
sues, or old issues under new condi-
tions and circumstances, are pressing
for settlement There must be tariff
reform, freight regulation, the elimi-
nation of boodlers, the return of
governmental affairs to popular
basis and a preparation for the new
and greater responsibilities that are
coming upon the republic. The Repub-
lican party has settled back into n
dcgged defense of all the immense con-
oentration of wealth and power which
1t fostered and encouraged. 1t is losing
the confidence and sympathy of the
people because it has ignored their in
terests and given itself over to cor
porate greed and trust support. 1t no
longer prates of liberty and equal rights
as in the old days. 1t talks now only
of vested rights" and the interests of
corporate wealth.
California has begun the work of
Democratic consolidation. Get to-
gether and keep together" is the one
present aim and object. 1t is a founda-
tion rule, basic principle. and if the
Democratic party of the state and
nation will determinedly carry it out
1t will as surely win the victory as
that God reigns.
Former Congressman Caldwell is q
true Democratic soldier. He is carry
ing the banner of Democracy from
Illinois to the Pacific and he will find
here a welcome greeting that must
cheer his heart. California and Illinois
can shake hands and take courage.
