HOME, SWEET HOME

3" ENRY T. FINCk in a magazine
article on 1.-THE Progressive Pa
H cific Coast" pays many well de-
served compliments to the good peo-
pie of California, and recognizes es-
| pecially their fondness for outdoor life.
We wish this fondness could be more
and more developed and that there
were more ways of indulging it. Cali
fornia is an outdoors and not an in
doors land, and among its chief ad-
vantages are cheap and safe means of
transportation to seaside resorts and
outlying districts. If automobiles were
within reach of the poor mans purse,
if even automobile hire were within
reach of the very moderately paid
salaried worker of California. condi-
tions for thousands of our fellow citi-
zens would be nightly improved.
But, even to people who are not
able to afford any luXuries or extras,
| life in california gives more open air
/ experience than they can receive in the
east, and the abundance of fresh air
is not only increasing vitality, but
work power. 1t is one of the anomalies
of California, that here the work Of
the worker is generally improved,
Hence, in the vast multitude of cases
in which he hires himself for small
wage, not only is he working for less
than he received in the east but for
much smaller sum he is doing more
and better work than he did in the
east.
A. j. Wells has collected statistics
which show the average yearly output
of each workman in California is nearly
TWICE that of a workman in Connec-
ticut, and ONE AND THREE
FOURTHS that of workmen in the
United States in general. 1t is no
wonder the Pacific coast is progressive.
Equally it is no wonder that people
who are not protected by labor unions
are apt to realize with a very natural
gust of mental rebellion that they are
being paid one-third eastern wages for
work that is twice as much as they
accomplished in the east, and easily
twice as good in average quality. 1t
certainly pays to be a capitalist and
man-hirer in California.
by anneXing San Pedro, writes
Mr. Finck in Scribners, LOS Angeles
became a seaport town, competing for
its share of the OHental and other Pa
eific ocean trade. The national gov
ernment has already spent millions on
improving this harbor and a great flu

We have the playhouses, but we
haven't got the players, nor the play
wrights. America has not yet produced
a Pinero, an Ibsen, a Sudermann nor a
Rostand much less a Shakespeare OF
Billie Burkes, Lulu Glasers and Marie
Doros we have new one every night,
but the loins of the continent have not
yet produced a Bernhardt, a Siddons
nor a Terry. The pillars of our temples,
with their splendid capitols and cor

rare design and of high price. But only
a. feeble flame flickers thereon, and the
incense that rises is tainted. Detroit
