California has more independent men
and women than any other state.
In mere money, California is the
richest state PER CAPITA. The av-
erage Californian has more money
than the average individual in any
other state. But that is only half.
Californias bank resources of twenty
five hundred millions are not worth
one tenth, or one-thousandth, as much
as CALIFORNIA; soil. And the worth of
the California climate, which gives
happiness, is not counted at ALL
What the mere material wealth of
California will be in future years no
one can guess. The state will have
tens of millions of inhabitants They
will live on the magnificent heights,
overlooking the Pacific, and fly down
for work-or pleasure-to the fertile
valleys. All the water that the west
side of the Rockies takes from the
clouds will be used, first for power,
heat and light, then for irrigation.
The future gigantic empire of Calf
ornia with It's thousanG-mile long
magic coast line, will be the wonder
of future ages. All the more reason
for keeping it we'll protected from
Asia now. No wonder the Asiatics
dream of it and long for it.

Your Editor must feel quite silly
when he reads the election returns
after his editorial of last week ad-
vising the mothers and daughters OF
Wisconsin to vote dry.
The two hundred thousand major

Bently leaves a very small minority
for prohibition.
AS a superior American Citizen, he
will surely want the majority to rule,
and will now use his editorial talent
to help repeal the Volstead and Sew
