Time to take a Little Recreation See the Santa Fe Agent FRA JUNIPERO SERRA Read at the Good Roads club meeting at the city hall by Rev. Father Dubbel: I will borrow a few words from an ode, to serve me as an introduction to this task of love, which a friend of mine induced me to undertake: "We are his heirs; we wear his name; we boast his deeds; we spread his fame." What does all this enthusiasm mean, these meetings in all the cities of California? These resolutions, subscription, pledges, etc., to go before a state legislature and introduce and use every effort to pass a bill constructing a public highway? Is it merely the spirit of commerce desiring better means of transportation? Is it merely the spirit of sociability in interlinking the commonwealths of this state more closely together, affording them a better opportunity of closer observance, imitation or emulation? Or is it the spirit of hospitality, so proper to California, offering the Eastern tourist greater facility of beholding all the wonders of this favorite portion of God's earth? No, gentlemen, there is something grander, more sublime, and elevating, a higher inspiration which urges the promoters of this project of constructing El Camino Real, The King's Highway. Our scientists and historians love to visit the ruins of ancient greatness; to linger around the monuments telling of the past; to gather the relics of ancient civilization; and deem it a life well spent if they have deciphered the hieroglyphics of an obelisk; unearthed a tablet; rediscovered the boundaries of a city or an empire; when he can stand boldly before our enlightened age and declare: Modern wisdom go to Troy, Athens, Carthage, Babylon, Pompeii, Rome, and there learn the greatness of your forefathers, their were made, from San Diego and from Monterey so blessed land was dotted withure to the glory of God civilization.

And with a great question mark ask, Is our modern boast of learning equal to the lost knowledge? What these savants are doing in distant lands the promoters of El Camino Real are doing here. We are going back in history, and we will reconstruct what the heroes of California undertook. With a loving heart allow me to pay a tribute to the hero of them all, to California's first and greatest son, the sainted Fra Junipero Serra, the Franciscan Padre. To the glory of Spain let it be said that in the golden age of her discoveries she forgot not the mission of a civilizer and educator. From the first expedition, she recognized that she had received a sacred trust, to the unenlightened uncivilized aborigines she must bring the light of the gospel and teach them the mysteries of the cross. Hence by a royal decree, it was ordered, that priests should accompany every exposition. The Indians learned to love the black-robed father. Dominicans, Jesuits. Franciscan Padres left home and kindred to devote themselves to this difficult task, ready to sacrifice their life blood for God's truth. In the Sixteenth century Spain's ambition was to possess and colonize the northern coast of the Pacific and in the year 1765 Don Jose Galves was appointed Visitor General to Mexico. One of his first acts was to organize a land and sea expedition for the colonization of Alta California. As spiritual director and Superior of the Missions to be established was chosen Fra Junifero Serra, from San Fernando college in Mexico. How wise the selection was, may be learned from Bancroft, the historian: "A St. Augustine in his religion, he was a Juvenal in his philosophy. He managed easily the mission interest, both spiritual and temporal. Few who came to Californiesshowing a peaceable conquer ing constructed on our coast loves monuments, and theruins will be an important f education of our future g The reconstruction of El Camino will also be a debt of gratitude. Junipero Serra. It will be mission bells, a reminder o f the Padres. I will conclude, citing the Mr. Charles F. Lummis, Junipero Serra, whom he Apostle of California, and his claim to the hall of fame: "No other man in the histo region now included within States ever approached his lishments. No other ever far or worked as hard or left to show for, whether you just standards which he partici lowed, or by the results in our history." Gillett's Honorable R Hon. Robert N. Bulla, spn James N. Gillett, with who in the state legislature du memorable contest in which R. Bard was elected United senator, speaks thus highly: "The political opponent Gillett charge that he has ered to the machine politic know the charge is not true; it would be entirely foreign past record. Surely a man be judged by what he h rather than by what some o tends to think he may do. "For James N. Gillett to subservient to the machine, ing which my position in th and at present is too well k require explanation,would be foreign, too, to his character man and a representative of th ple, both in the state legislat in the United States congress. "I venture the opinion tha machine gave him support Santa Cruz convention w idea or belief that if elec would prove subservient to th tates or wishes of any clique land and sea expedition for the colonization of Alta California. As spiritual director and Superior of the Missions to be established was chosen Fra Junfpero Serra, from San Fernando college in Mexico. How wise the selection was, may be learned from Bancroft, the historian: "A St. Augustine in his religion, he was a Juvenal in his philosophy. He managed easily the mission interest, both spiritual and temporal. Few who came to California during the missionary regime were his equal in devotion to his work and successful in it." Junipero Serra was a native of Catalonia, Spain. At an early age he entered the religious life, consecrating himself to the career of a missionary in the Franciscan order. In 1749 he arrived in Mexico, for nineteen years he filled the offices respectively, of educator, director of the college and guardian of the community. Selected as the first Superior of the California missions he arrived with the first expedition in San Diego in 1769. July 16th of the same year marks the date of the first mission in California. In the archives of the parish at San Diego, may be read in a clear hand the data relative to the foundation of the mission, signed by Junipero Serra. Is there any one of us who can fully understand the difficulty of the task assigned to this man of God. A stranger in a strange land; strange people whose language has to be learned and whose confidence has to be won; and who must be evangelized. The canopy of the heavens is the roof of his shelter, and the bare earth is his couch. Sparsely must they use their provisions; anxiety is their mental pang; but these men are equal to the occasion. In a remarkable short time other foundations "I venture the opinion that machine gave him support Santa Cruz convention will idea or belief that if elec would prove subservient to the tates or wishes of any clique they will be the sorriest and fooled set of individuals that attempted to control a Chiefutive of the state of California. "When elected, Gillett was governor of the whole state, and the people of the state, and 'take orders' from no man, constitution or political faction. "I have known Mr. Gillett mately for over ten years, and ways have admired his sterling substantial character as a man as a citizen. "He is a splendid type of Lincoln so felicitously termed 'plain people,' and by his own est efforts has raised himself very humble position in his manhood to one of great influence and usefulness in public and private life. "I sat with him for two sessions the California senate and for reason am thoroughly familiar with his work and record in that book know that the things he accomplished and the principles for which stood are unimpeachable. He not be assailed with reason be made, from San Diego northward from Monterey southward; this land was dotted with structures the glory of God and honor of nation. Incontestable testimony to the energy of the Mission Fathers their wisdom and zeal. San Luis Rey, Pala, San Juan Coriano, San Gabriel, Los Angeles, Bernardo, Santa Barbara, Santa San Carlos, Conception, San Carran Miguel and a dozen more are elements of which California may be proud. Connecting these miseries El Camino Real, The King's Way. Over this highway the Serra passed on foot and ani-teaching, instructing, overseeing, giving the cause of religion and education. There is no doubt but he passed through our very town; when, as public-spirited citizens, join in this work which means so far our state. In years, labors and good works hispero Serra passed to his re-august 28, 1784, at San Carlos. He saw the missions establish many places. The Indians learned to make Roman brick, accomodate construct adobe dwellings, use the soil, and an air of contentment over the Pacific coast at any time the patriots of our countrys fighting for liberty and laying foundations of our constitution. They on the Atlantic were making by the sword; monuments of peaceable conquest were constructed on our coast. History monuments, and these historic will be an important factor in the man of our future generations. Construction of El Camino Real be a debt of gratitude to Fraida Serra. It will be, with its bells, a reminder of the work undertaken. conclude, citing the words of Charles F. Lummis, writing of his stand on any measure that came before the senate. He was everything that the people of the state could desire in a representative. "While the commonly accepted opinion that the vast majority of the members of the California legislature are incapable, dishonest, or worst, is greatly exaggerated, it must be admitted that there are a good many who are incompetent, not a few who are indolent and careless and some who are corrupt. "It is undoubtedly true that a comparatively few members do the hard, honest, conscientious work for the entire body, and of these few Gillett always was recognized as one of the strongest, ablest, most industrious and most efficient. "He always was in his place in session or at committee work, always knew what he was doing and how to do it, and always voted right upon measures which came before the legislature for adoption or rejection. "During the memorable contest of 1889, when all the powers of the machine were invoked to secure the election of Dan Burns as United States senator; when every influence good or bad, was brought to bear upon members of the legislature in his behalf, Gillett stood firm as a rock against all such influences, and for what he conceived to be his duty to the people of the state. He finally contributed his vote and his great influence to the election of that splendid representative of American citizenship, Hon. Thomas R.

He finally contributed his vote and his great influence to the election of that splendid representative of American citizenship, Hon. Thomas R. Bard. “My long personal acquaintance with Mr. Gillett, and my close association with him in the senate, where he was tried and found not wanting, convince me that he will be the real chief executive and not the creature of any machine, corporation or clique, when he is elected governor.” Stirring Appeal to Republicans Office California State League of Republican Clubs. Stockton, Cal., Oct. 15, 1906.

Gillett, the republican candidate for governor, stands before the people as the representative of that great party which proposes and accomplishes things for the advancement of the country and the welfare of the people.
