Battle Creek enjoys a unique distinc-
tion, that of having been the home oil
more strange and freak religions than
any other city in Michigan, if not in the
United States. The intellectual SOIL
seems to be fertile for the growth OF
mystic and occult isms,
Fifty-five years ago the Seventh Day
Adventists located there and made Bat
tie Creek their headquarters for the
world. Their subsequent wonderful
growth made the name of Battle Creek
synonymous with Adventism Then
came the Spiritualists, and the city be-
came widely known as the headquarters
in Michigan for that cult. At one time
they had a very large society," and all
of the noted free thinkers and agnostics
in the country came there to lecture.
1t is singular that these two demon
nations represented the two extremes
in religion, one extremely orthodox and
the other the broadest kind of liberal
ism. More literature of these two faiths
has been sent out from Battle Creek
than from any other city in this coun-
try. The ablest and best known au-
thors of both isms have resided here
at some time Among the first settlers
was a band of Quakers. subsequently
they all became Spiritualists.
Next came a colony from the east

DISCUSSES PROBABLE RESULT
OF FORTHCOMING ELECTION

Editor Herald: A person with
any political sagacity and par
ticularly an old veteran, cannot
fail to diagnose the case pretty cor
rectly as it stands at present, SO far
as the next governor of California is
concerned. OF course, aspirants may
differ, because they have all been fiat
tered with smiles, handgrasps and
even promises. For instance, candi-
date Curry asserts, and no doubt be-
lieVes that he will receive 10000 ma
jority at the primaries in San Fran
CISCO
Curry leads in the race on the ma
chine basis, but Johnson Is ace high
among the people. AS an aspirant on
the Republican ticket for governor,
Johnson is the man Curry has to set
tie with. Stanton has some strength
in Los Angeles, where his sterling quail
tiles are recognized, and the bulk of
his support at the primaries will de-
tract from Curry more largely than
from Johnson, simply because he Is
in the same boat and not allied to the
reform movement, of which Johnson is
the champion.
1t would probably be we'll and good
politics for Republicans to be a lit
tie wary, for the very air is preg
nant with the sentiment of anti boss
ism, no matter from what quarter, and
reform is valuable annex. The
word Insurgency" does not fully COM
prise the meaning of the revolt. There
is something rotten in Denmark, but
here in California it has become a
malignant cancer and nothing but the
ballot will remove it.
At the present time, looking at it
squarely, the conclusion is irresistible
that if Johnson secures the nomina-
ton he will be the next governor of
California. On the other hand, if Cur
ry succeeds, Bell will be the next
governor. The American people ad-
mire brave men and Johnson and Bell
seem to measure up to their standard.

In coming to California at this time
Clifford Pinchot had in mind as ms
chief purpose the hustling of votes 1or
his friend. Hiram Johnson, yet cali
fornia held another consideration LOT
him which, dollars to doughnuts, ne
couldn't keep out of his mind. 1t is
probable that while Pinchot, late Tor
ester of the United States. was com.
plimenting the growers of the rural
districts upon their big melons big
grapes and big crops, his secret opln-
ion was that the biggest and best crops
that are harvested at this western
edge of the continent comprise yellow
tail, tuna, black sea bass, bonito, skip
lack and the countless other big game
fish that make the waters off the
Southern California coast the Usher
mans paradise. Pinchot knows all
about them, for the biggest and best
fishing he ever had was down in those
waters. Catalina was too tame Tor
hin-too many people around, too
many amateurs-so he and Prof. Char
lie Holden, and sometimes Senator
Frank Flint and DR.. George c. Pardee
used to cruise around the other islands
of the channel and do their fishing.

After big fish had struck and
taken the hook for fair Pinchot never
liked to sit down to it. His great stunt
was grabbing up the short rod, brac-
ing himself by spreading his long legs
wide apart on the little after deck of
the launch and inviting the twenty,
thirty, fifty or 'steen hundred-pound
fish to do his durndest. He seldom let
excitement warp his judgment, and he
could catch and bring to gaff more big
fish in a day than most of the anglers.
He loved to get ashore on some of the
islands that had little or no population
and do some first hand exploring.
On San Clemente Pinchot found a
good natured hermit flying above his
cabin an American flag, made by
stitching together pieces of cloth of
the right colors from women's dis
carded dresses. The following Christ
mas that hermit received a large silk
flag and a library of books of the kind
he had said he liked (none of them

CONTENDS THAT PROPERTY
NOT NECESSARY TO VOTE

Editor Herald: Speaking of bond
elections, 1 would respectfully re-
mind C. L. that in the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments
to the constitution of the United States,
the qualifications and the rights of
citizens are clearly set forth, it being
evident that no property qualifications
can be legally imposed, for the pur~
pose of restricting the right of the cit
izen to the franchise.
To say that those electors who do
not own any property, have not any
interest in the country's welfare, is
not only mistake, it is a positive in
suit to honest workingmen. Being Of
the working class myself feel keenly
this insult. We working men vote for
school bonds, because we do not wish
our children to grow up in ignorance;
we vote for water, and other bonds
that our cities, counties, and states,
may have the necessary funds to make
the improvements that are demanded
by our growing population.
1 venture to say that if the matter
of public improvements were left to
the option of the moneyed classes, a
la c. L. and Mrs. Clara Burdette, we
should have no school houses other
than the costly institutions that no
vagrant CD working man would be able
to send his child to; we should have
no public -7ater systems and no good
roads.
1t is a pity, that these women should
clamor for the right to vote, and still
expect to keep other citizens from vot-
ing who have been robbed for years
by the rich, through some sort of ex-
ploitation, because they lack proper
prOperty qualifications.
| heartily indorse the right of wom-
en- to the franchise, but 1t is my
opinion that when the American work.
ing man or woman shall have been dis
franchised, through the property quail
fication dodge if ever such a state of
affairs may exist, then will there be
another revolution against the powers
of predatory wealth, as there was in

Any public official that faVors the
exhibition in pictures of the degrad-
ing prize fight or fails to use his
authority in opposition to such an
exhibition is unworthy of public of

and duty.
Brother Brisbane he makes us laugh.
Some of the pictures he prints with
so much gusto in the paper that he
edits are from the very films that sup
ply the moving pictures against the
exhibition of which he protests.
And yet, on the whole, we agree with
him in hoping that the moving pictures
will meet with so much opposition that
they won't pay. We don't think they
are so bad in themselves, but as part
of the means of making prize fights
profitable they are Objectionable.

marvellous achievements of Los
IA Angeles from new angle Like
the old, old story that is ever new, the
month-to-month record breaking of the
Angel city in bank clearings, in the
number Of building permits and cost
of new structures, in school attend
ance and other features of growth,
is constantly fascinating tale be-
cause it is unmatched elsewhere and
is a new experience for the former
residents of the eastern country who
have come here in the last decade.
There are a few cities, of less pop
ulation, that have beaten Los Angeles
in percentage Of growth, but only in
that way and only because to a small
town percentage in three figures does
not mean as much as one of two here
Still those that have gained 200 per
cent in 10 years like us are few enough
not to make a heavy draft on our envy.
But there we part company with all
arrivals. We stand unchallenged on
the fact that whereas in decade we
have gained 200 per cent in numbers
we have in the same time advanced
42S per cent in assessed valuations in
this county.
From $9I161,11 in 1900 to $521 945, 1854
in the present year is a record proba-
bly, not paralleled in the world by any
territory of equal area and capital as
starter for the decade. Even more
interesting as showing a consistent
large advance (with the single ex-
ception of the first half decade in
the last preceding this) are the figures

weather decomposed this wash, reduc-
ing it's particles and freeing the gold
they carried. Then came water, work
ing and reworlxing, carrying away the
lighter parts and concentrating the
heavier gold at the bottom, whence
the miner gathers it.

ciers nor frost, the gold remains chiefly
in the rocks where it was first de-
posted by heated solutions or Vapors

mines of this district produced $685.

poor, and for lack of water are worked
by dry processes-fanning and the

Placer mining, which went into
eclipse in California and on the Pa
cific coast generally with the apparent
exhaustion of the rich gold-bearing
gravels, is still yielding considerable
returns to the hydraulic plant and the
