Today We Celebrate

California Celebrates Admission Day.
Few nations, States or provinces cell
citrate any momentous anniversary In
their history with 80 much enthusiasm
as the Native Sons of the Golden West
bring to the observance of Admission
Day in California. 1t was sixty-eight
years ago today hat California be-
came a State, two years after 1t had
been coded by Mexico to the United
States.
The Order of the Native Sons of the
Golden West was founded by Gen. A.
M. VIM. who called a meeting to
form such an organization late in June
1875. The Native Sons first appeared
in public in a Fourth of July parade
in 1875, three score young men
marching under the banner of the new
order. The first Admission Day to be
observed by the Native Sons was on
Sept 0. 1875. The order Immediately
gained In popularity and in 1878 a
grand par1or," or supreme governing
board, was constituted. Today the
membership of the Native Sons OF the
Golden West is something like $4,000.
The principal purpose of the order is
to perpetuate in the minds of all Call
fornians the memories Of the early his
tory of the Golden State, and espe-
cially of the days of 40. The order
also has various social features and
benefits. The descendants of the pion-
GERS who constitute the memberships
Of the order have BEEF accused of un.
u pride in their ancestry. but mons
can deny that they come from one o
the sturdtest and most stalwart an,

world has ever known. No othei
State celebrates its birthday with $,
much eclat as California. and the ma
tive Californian, no matter where h
may have wandered. will tell you toda
that the people of no other State hav
so much reason for celebrating. TIL
pioneer spirit and ideals of the Grea
West are well worthy of perpetuatjoi
and the Native Sons and Daughter
may be forgiven the air OF superiorit
they will wear today.

Simplifying the Excise Problem

President Wilson's order prohibiting the manufacture of beer
after December 1 ought to simplify the excise question considerably
With the breweries out of business practically all of the saloons VIII
have to close. In that case licensing boards will find little to do.
AS a matter of fact, the order putting the breweries out of bust
ness December 1 will mean that applications for renewals and trans
fers will cease at once, a no man will want to pay a license knowing
that within two months he will have to close. 1t is likely, therefore,
that licenses expiring between now and January will be permitted &c
die and no n will bother about a transfer for so short a time.
While the Presidents order is only for the duration of the war,
congress is almost certain to pass the prohibition amendment making
the whole country dry, anyway, so that the notice to the DreWeries
will act as a preliminary step toward this accomplishment.
Once the saloons are closed there is very little Likelihood OF them
ever being opened again.
Perth Amboy has been disgraeed for a long time by the handing
of her excise affairs. Not being able to correct the evil herself, 1t has
remained for Kaiser Wilhelm to do it for her. No one would ever
have dreamed that the German emperor would have been the cause
of closing the saloons in Perth Amboy, yet the action is taken as a
result of the war, and the kaiser is responsible for the war.
