In his response to the address of welcome on the | opening of the convention on Wednesday President | Armsby, speaking for the Colleges and Experiment | Stations, said: “We have heard much of California, | the Empire State of the West, and we anticipate with | pleasure. our inspection of it. We accept your wel- | come in our representative capacity, for we have| come to see and examine your resources, of which | we have heard so much. What little we have seen of the State has been far beyond our expectations, and | assure you that we shall make known through- | out the country the things that we find here.” In that statement is summed up in a brief but com- prehensive way the motive which has impelled our | Eastern visitors to come to this remote portion of thei Union for the purpose of holding conventions. The | routine work of the meetings, the reading of papers and the discussion of various problems, could be per- formed in FEastern cities as well as here. It was, therefore, not solely for the purpose of holding con- ventions, but for the purpose of studying Pacific Coast conditions, that the editors have met at Port- land, the agriculturists in this city, ana the educators will‘meet in Los Angeles. Our benefits from the study of such bodies of men as are now gathered on the coast are certain to be great. Even the language of exaggeration when ap- plied to certain special features of the Pacific Coast and its resources has fallen short of the real great- ness and variety of the natural richness of the land. The more carefully our conditions are studied from Puget Sound to San Diego Bay, and the more scientifically accurate are the reports given of them, the more impressive will their magnitude appear and the more attractive will they be to the world. We ask neither of the editors at Portland, the edu- cators at Los Angeles, nor of the agricultural experts convention i [ held at Los Angeles. | It would have placed before the | | of corporations greedy for illegitimate gains? [in this city anything more than President Armsby has | promised. If the visitors will study the coast from | the standpoint of that department of knowledge in | which they are experts, and make known throughout | the country the things they find here, we shall be | satisfied. We shall indeed have occasion to give them thanks for their study and for their reports. CALIFORNIA BUILDING MATERIAL. O little gratification has been felt over the an- N nouncement from Washington that the Govern- ment, in awarding the contract for the stone work of the new postoffice building, has stipulated that the material used shall be Raymond granite. We are thus saved from the absurdity, at one time threat- cned, of having stone brought from the East for the construction of a public building in California. It appears that considerable efforts were required to induce the Treasury offitials to make the stipulation in” favor of Californian material. It may have been that the suggestion of the use of Eastern stone was due to a desire to throw the patronage of the depart- ment to certain firms in the East, but it is more likely to have arisen from a belief that California lacked stone suitable for the purpose. No amount of ignor- ance of the resources of this State or of the Pacific Coast generally need surprise us on the part of the officials at Washington. Time and again our inter- ests have been sacrificed under circumstances which force the conclusion that the sacrifice was made through sheer lack of knowledge of the interests at stake. The whole course of the history of the postoffice building shows how indifferent Washington is to! California. At every step in the proceedings there has been a fight, and we have obtained the new edi- fice not so much by a grant from the Govermment as by a contest. It is true that for the delay in beginning the work the Government was not wholly to blame, inasmuch as a strong opposition to the site selected was developed here, and warnings were sent to Wash- ington that the site was unsafe. tious fight was ended, however, the delay continued, and it was not until earnest and repeated petitions | were made on behalf of the people that the work of | construction began. | At last everything seems to be moving in a satis- | factory way. It is indeed to be regretted that the ;comrnct for the stone work was not awarded to a | California firm, but that is a minor matter. The | stipulation for the use of stone from our quarries | means not only that much of patronage given to a | local industry, but shows that Washington has learned that California possesses something besides gold mines and orchards. The new building will serve as an advertisement of the value of our quarries, and it may be that we shall ere long be called upon to ship granite to the East. PROBLEMS FOR THE PUBLIC. RESIDENT MACCABE of the National Edi- p torial Association, in delivering the opening address at the. convention in Portland, set forth two important problems for the consideration of the association. The first is the desirability of bringing equitable adjustment of laws affecting journalism throughout the Union, and the second that of ridding the public from the nuisance of ille gitimate advertising. Each of these problems is a| serious one, and it is certainly time a solution should | be undertaken. [ The laws affecting newspapers are not only conflict- ing in different States, but are in many States so unfair as to be virtually unfit for enforcement. We have in this State two instances of such laws enacted at the | last session of the Legislature—one known as the anti-cartoon act and the other as the signature act— | neither of which has thus far served any other pur-| pose than that of showing how much like wild rams | some legislators can be, and how much like a stray sheep a Governor can be who follows the lead of such rams. | Laws of such a nature, varying with the freaks ”'1 about an S different State Legislatures, while seemingly harmless & so long as they are unenforced, none the less consti- | tute a heavy handicap upon the smaller newspapers of the community. Journals suff iently rich and powerful to be able to fight libel suits or other suits brought for spite or coin can afford to ignore most of the vicious laws, but upon the country press, that serves as the guard and the champion of the common rights of that great mass of the American people living in comparatively small communities, such ]a\\'s3 are serious interferences with the performance of the | full duty of an independent editor. It is for the gen- eral good, therefore, that such acts should be re- pealed and just laws enacted in their place. The evils of illegitimate advertising, to which President MacCabe referred, are becoming more por- tentous every day. In New York, where large cor-| porations, chartered for other purposes, have engaged extensively in advertising, a fight has been already begun to protect the public from their exactions. Among the corporations which are the most con- spicuous offenders in that way are railroads. None of them are chartered to do an advertising business, and yet all of them are more or less engaged in it. Neither of these problems will be e: The evil in each case springs from what seems a natural depravity. Who can set a limit to the folly of legislators? Who can fix bounds to the grasping Diffi- cult, however. as the problems and the evils are, it is worth while to grapple with them. If the editors now in convention can devise any well-considered means to remedy the wrong the public will cordially support it. | | | | sy to solve. King Leopold of Belgium can do nothing less than decorate his “Old Probabilities.” The weather sharp to the King has undoubtedly saved that monarch his job.
