NATIONAL OUTLOOK

HI ITH Rev. DR.. Henry, we believe
w the hand of God has shaped
" American history. In one respect
America is remarkable. 1t is blood
bought nation, and we hope no reader
will misunderstood us when we say
reverently and positively it illustrates
the purchase of improved conditions by
blood atoneinent for national defcien-
cies and transgressions. No country
izations has seen so much human sacri-
fee as this great nation which exists
under the Stars and Stripes. We are
not a peaceful people. We have been
men of war from our youth up. and are
the heirs of the most truculent and
the northern Europeans. Judge Wilbur
addressed an audience recently on the
subject of "'blood- bought liberty" Yes.
our liberties are bought with that
price. Now, are we as nation to sink
into a belief that we may fold our

FRUIT INDUSTRIES

NAN DIEGO is growing over the fact
that a manufacturer has handed
~ it not merely a lemon but a big
bunch of lemons by establishing. a
lemon juice factory. There is room
for all kinds of fruit industries In
Southern California. Sometimes when
we have been wearing our thinking
caps we have wondered why there are
not more of them in Los Angeles. We
presume they will come with the big
water supply. There should be not in
divtdual instances, but whole streets OF
Jam and jelly factories, marmalade
factories, sugared fruit factories,
etc, ETC., etc.

CALIFORNIA

WITH Egyptian cotton added to the
w crops of California, this great
w state will not only be the richest
in the world in revenue producing ag-
ricultural and horticultural resources,
but will have demonstrated that the
ingenuity and enterprise of her citizens
never come to a standstill. Wonders
have been worked in this magical
country, and no one can guess what
may be accomplished in the future. For
instance, the Burbank edible or spine-
less cactus industry may yet become
a mammoth money maker. 1t is not
improbable that before many years
have come and gone practically every
accessible acre of land in the state VIII
be under cultivation, and the yearly
output of useful products viii ex-

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
CAMPAIGN FUNDS

WI HY should there be any secrecy
w about campaign funds? After
all, they are not benefactions,
but contributions to the expenses OF
a party by the success of which the
contributor thinks his fellow citizens
will be benefited. We all know that
the Republicans. who furnish the
principal examples of magniticence IN
giving during campaign time, are ac-
tuated by the purest motives of Amer
icanism. They believe it will be for
the greatest good of the greatest num-
ber to give new lease of power to
the party which has reduced the
United States to the fifth place among
the educated nations. The cause OF
Republican neglect of the educational
industry is that Republicans are too
obtuse to see it is an industry and
one of vital importance. We think
Scotland was probably the first coun-
try which had q popular educational
system, and it saved her from being
gobbled up by England when every
other country round about had been
assimilated without benevolence. Ed
ucation made the Scots more than
match for the English soldiery, most
of whom could neither read nor write
and were proud of this demerit Since
Republicans are about to expend large
sums of money in trying to secure
continuation of the reign of ignorance,
and since they will spend money freely
in order to maintain conditions which
produce illiteracy and tend to give
them cheap, ignorant labor, we should
all have the privilege of reading the
names of the contributors to the grand
old cause. We would like to know
who subscribes his thousands and who
his tens of thousands.
