The morning was a sort of a reception to the visitors. Shortly after 11 o'clock the parade, with H.

Awaken an interest in Iocal history and you instill into the hearts of the people a love of State, stimulating & pa- triotism that cannot be confined within geo- graphical lines. The Iives of those devoted padres are an in- spiration. In that city of the whose shores a n Diego Bay, religious enthusiasts first landed in 1769, and from that pericd, enduring hardships which tongue cannot describe, they | struggled on unfalteringly until the last link in the chain of twenty-one missions had been completed. Civilization folldwed In the wake of the Franciscans, and the history of the ar West began. Creat changes were continually taking place in this “‘land of easy miracles,” as it has been | termed, and world history was being made. The sovereignty of Spuin gave way to the sav- erelgnty of Mexico, and rulers changed with | bewiltlering rapidity. In 1834 R. H. Dana | Ir. visited this coast and declared that Call- fornia was at the ends of the earth—a country where there was neither law nor gospel. But this chaotic condition was soon to end and a | #table government to be established. | on July 1848—and it should have been | on July 4- banner of enlightenment and | progress was unfurled over the old Custom- | house at Monterey, and & new era dawned for California. Other flags had been rafsed and lowered over this historic buliding, but the Stars and Stripes, the insignia of the mighty American nation,” when once flung to the | breeze, was there to remain, to be displaced by the emblem of no nation wpon the face of | the globe. DISCOVERY OF GOLD. | Events followed in rapid sequence.

In the convention's dellberations. 1In September, 1849, in historie Colton which the Native Sons have been instrumental in preserving—convened that famous conven. tion which drafted for Californla a constitu- tion. ‘Again was California destined to play an im- portant part in national affairs. When this Prospective State knocked at the door for ad- nission there were fifteen free and |fifteen slave States. The question came before Con- gress at_a time when the first dark clouds were gathering, forerunners of the impending storm that was to break later in all its fury upon the nation, threatening the very foun- dations of government. A bitter fight was waged. The preat statesmen of the nation gave vent to their best efforts. It was during the memorable debate upon this question that Senator Seward uttered these words, which, in view of tter-day events—the acquisition Philippines—now rophetic: goll'\’mervzlfl, social, and political affinities and sympathies, are steadily renovating the gov- ernments and the social constitutjons of Europe nd Africa. The Pacific States must neces- rily perform the same sublime and beneficent function in Asia.”” A phophecy that is rapidly fulfilled. When a vote was finally taken California was admitted as a free State and the tide was turned. NEW WORLD’S MECCA. During the first few years following the gold Aiscovery California was the world's Meeca. The methods of travel were slow and irksome. The tollsome journey across the plains, with its attendant perils; the sea voyage with its uncertainties and hardships—thus did this State invent a serious need of steamboats and long distance railroading. Necessity is the mothe. of invention. On May 10, 1860, was driven the last spike connecting the Unioa Pacific with the Central Pacific. When on that grassy plain north of Salt Lake the impressive ceremonles took place which unitea e two, meat oceans, the practicability of long-dis- tance railroading had been demonstrated by Californta. The completion of this read, threo times the length of any rallroad of the world at that time, was one of the achievements of the aze. When public officials refused to uphold the laws: when corruption existed in high places, it was the citizens of California who organ- ized vigilance committees, demonstrating to the world that no man or set of men were above the law. Still, again, within recent years, has this sm‘ fllyld a most im nt part fn na- tional affairs—again has lifornia furnished indi; table evidence of her loyalty to tl Government founded by our foetather. Whes on that May morning in 1898 was flashed around the world the news of Dewey's great naval vie- tory in Manila Bay. the eyes of every American citizen were turned toward this land by the Golden Gate: Without immediate reinforce- ments a signal victory might be turned into a humiliating defeat. California was equal to the emergency. From, this gateway to the Orfent safled” the first transport, her decks crowded with the young manhood of this commonwealth—Native Sons, many of them- willing to sacrifice their lives to upheld ti flag they loved, and eventually secure to a nighted and oppressed people a free gover ment. Californians, this beloved State of ours has a glorious pa: past that should be an spiration, awakening an ambition to make her future as brilliant. The Fourth of July is no longer a day when we meet to rejoice Hke chil- dren, but it is an oceasion when, in the midst of a'busy life, we pause to reflect. It is a day that should forcibly bring home to every loyal American citizen m responsibilities; heirs to possibllities of a still more glorious future. With this oriceless leg. acy—a free and united cquntry with its advan- tages and opportunities—we must tzke ourselves duties that cannot be avoided: must face responsibilities that we have right to shirk. Cifizens of California and Native Sons of the Golden West, on this Independence day let us pledge anew ‘our allegiance to country and devotion to her sacred institutions, resolving that not alone on the glorious Fourth will our patriotism be manifested, but that in+ civil life, by never neglecting to exercise our pre- rogatives as citizens, we will furnish practical demonstration of our loyalt. As an order let the Native Sons continue with renewed activity in the commendable work they have undertaken—the preservation of those valued reminders of our golden past— for through no movement can this great or- ganization give more practical demonstra to this and future generations of its loyalty to State and respect for the honored memories of those who have passed away.
