Bright Outlook.

San Francisco, Feb. 1.-THE
monthly bulletin of the California De-
velopment Board, now on its way to
eastern subscribers, carries a mes
sage of January sunshine, with the
financial forecast for 1914 ''clear and
fair"
The state horticultural commission
er estimates the value of the fruit
crop at S1O0,O00,O00, with an addi-
tional $15,OO0,OOO for alfalfa. The
value of dairy products is fixed at
S34,000,000, and the butter produc-
ton is reported at 55,542,000 pounds.
THE present outlook" says the
bulletin, "is most encouraging for
large crops and the snow in the noun
tains bids fair to furnish abundant
water for irrigation, mining and pow
er purposes"
There is drawn a picture Of orange
loaded trains passing the ice harvest
ers at work near Truckee and men
tion of ripe blackberries and cherries

From Dickens to Shaw.

New York Tribune: No one seems
to have been very keenly interested
in Edwin brood or in John Jasper
at the belated trial of the latter in
London. The mystery which Dick
ems left behind him for faithful ad
mirers to ponder is hardly of the hour.
Of far greater concern was what
George Bernard Shaw might say or
do next-a perennial something to
worry about in English-speaking
lands. 1t is long jump from Charles
Dickens to G. B. S. Yet there is
an odd occurrence of motif in the
brood mock trial which sets one
wondering. Dickens as a reformer
and propagandist is not the way the
later generations think of him. What
he did in his day, however, for the
children of England and for the re-
form of justice makes most of our
present propagandists look rather
small. And, here is the curious part
of the brood trial. The law was the
constant butt of Dickens satire and
tragedy, as every lover of his "Pick
wick" and "Bleak House" knows.
That was sixty years ago and more.
Now, in the year of our Lord 1914
comes Bernard Shaw as the foreman
of the brood jury, and, as his chief
jest, holds up present day British JUS
.tice to boots and howls. The con-
trast between the men could hardly
be greater, nor the similarity Of
theme more ominous. Do we never
get on? Is all our reforming on
paper and in the eye? Must the bril-
liant, capering Mr.. Shaw take up the
battle exactly where the sentimental
Mr.. Dickens found it? Surrey not,
we dare assert. The world has pulled
on from where Dickens found it
and from where he left it. The laws
delays still exist. Trial by jury is
often food for laughter. And chill
dren still work in cotton mills. But
an averaging of records would show
an advance very real advance-all
along the line. Our discomfort with
ourselves is the one unchanging fac
tor; for each quarter-mile down the
road shows a new turning and fresh
hills to win. Who would have it
otherwise?

H. V. Platt Given
S. P. Promotion

Los Angeles, Feb. 11.-Los Angeles
is now the center of operation of all
the lines of the Southern Pacific rail
road between San Francisco and El
Paso.
This new arrangement in the organ
ization of the road materially in
creasing the railway Importance of
this city, is provided for in a sweep
ing order issued by W. r. Scott, who
last week succeeded f. K. Calvin as
vice president and general manager.
The order, effective Immediately,
combines the Coast, Stockton, San
Joaquin, Los Angeles and Tucson di-
visions into what is known as the
southern district, with Il. V. Platt,
promoted to the Office of assistant
general manager, in charge, with
headquarters in Los Angeles.
Together with the Encouragement
of the management, involving gem
eral shake up among the Official
heads, comes the announcement from
San Francisco that favorable action
will be recommended by the state
railroad commission on the applica-
tion of the Southern Pacific Com
pany to issue per cent bonds run
ming twenty years in the sum OF S55,-
100000.
Part of the bond issue is to be
used in retiring short-term notes,
but something in. excess of S1O,000,-
900 is included in a budget contem-
plating extensive improvements IN
California.
Both the establishment of the CEN
ter of the vast stretch of railway
lines in Los Angeles and the improve
ments to come from the new bond is
sue will mean big things for Southern
California, it is asserted in railway
circles here. Part of the money is to
be expended by the railroad company
for the electrifcation of its lines IN
California and Nevada, and it is un-
derstood that the Pacific Electric.
which is owned by the Southern Pa
cifc, will come in for big share of
the development expenditures.
According to the new plans of or
ganization, authority is localized, so
that there will be an assistant gen.
eral manager in Portland and one in
Los Angeles, each with authority to
settle all ordinary problems relating
to his own territory Resulting from
the Encouragement there has been
general shake-up, number Of pro-
motions and one retirement.
H B. Titcomb, who, as district en-
gineer Of the railroad has for a. num-
ber of years maintained his office in
Los Angeles, is now, together with
R. M. Drake, made a maintenance of
way assistant, reporting to the as
sistant chief engineer, with head
quarters in San Francisco. H. J.
Small, superintendent of motive
power, who has been with the COM
pany a great many years, and has
built up the mechanical department,
retires. and T. w. Heintzelman is ap-
pointed general superintendent of
motive power, with headquarters in
San Francisco. r. w. Younger sue
ceeds Heintzelman as superintendent
of motive power of the northern dis
trict. E. L. King is made sunerin-
tendent of telegraph, to succeed F. W.
Rawlins, deceased.

find some method of estimating the
genuine moral worth of such plays,
and of presenting those which are
deemed to have an evil effect.
At present the only definite meth
cd is that of police censorship, which
is bungling, inefficient and more than
half the time hits the, wrong plays
altogether.
Free speech must be permitted on
the stage-to those who are quail
fled to speak.
But no sane person could say that
most of the writer's whose work has
deluged the New York stage this past
autumn were so qualified.
What are we going to do about
it?
Personally we believe that the one
efficient weapon against the present
dangerous wave of sensational and
harmfully infiaming sex dramas is to
be found in the cities outside of New
York. If those plays cannot be TAX
en- proftably on tour, they will not
be worth while to produce, and they
will die natural death. The SAN
ity of the nation will have to come
to New York's rescue.
A representative committee in any
city, composed of men and women
from various walks of life, including,
of course, the industrial workers, can
decide justly on the moral and ar
tistic values of play, and their con-
demnation would amount to pro-
hibition to the local manager. Ii
New York's eroticism can be kept
out of other cities 1T will cease to
be profitable to the managers, and
will be snuffed out soon enough.
Of course the public in the end is
the best censor.
: But the verdict takes time. We
want as little harm done in the in
terval as possible.
In the long run, however, these sa-
lacious plays, this infiamed curiosity
about sex, will turn decent people
from the playhouse altogether, even
in New York, and as such people are
in the majority the managers will
wake up to realization that decency
is the best policy, after all. Even
now there are signs on Broadway that
the reaction has set in.
After all, if such a reaction does
not set in it means that we as ma
ton desire such drama so strongly
that no amount of censorship will
save US. 1t means we are as rotten
as the plays. None of US is quite
ready to believe that yet.
