A SOLEMN WARNING The mass meeting of republicans at Santa Ana on Saturday is pregnant with significance to those members of the party who have prostituted it to their own base uses for years. It stands out as a solemn warning to them that their base usurpation of party authority must cease, and at once, or the party will cease to exist. Too many republicans, men who cast their first vote for John C. Fremont, as well as others who had not that patriotic privilege, numbering tens of thousands throughout the state of California, have arrived at the conclusion that if the party is to be maintained simply as an asset of the Southern Pacific railroad, it might just as well terminate its glorious career. Born in the throes of civil war, to what base uses has it come at last! As we write, on Tuesday, nothing has come of a determination on the part of the county committee THOSE APPOINTED DELEGATE The delegates arbitrarily pointed by the republican central committee to state and congressional meetings met at Santa Ana and adopted resolutions themselves to support S. G. for Congress. If these supposed for an instant such action they would action of the indignation of Saturday, they were mistaken. The question the republican voters of county today is, not whether delegates will support any other man—that quarrel not at issue—but, the usurpation of authority of county committee in disfragrant the voters of the county question is not as to the cause for congress, but this: A delegates programmed for H. the state convention? The arbitrary appointing these delegates by the county mittee was an insult to republican effort to shield itself by en Smith will avail nothing. The question before republicans, shall the party be disruptions of base usurpation of authority? Shall the party in Orange be delivered to Herrin by heeleders? We answer No. conclusion that if the party is to be maintained simply as an asset of the Southern Pacific railroad, it might just as well terminate its glorious career. Born in the throes of civil war, to what base uses has it come at last! As we write, on Tuesday, nothing has come of a determination on the part of the county committee to rescind its high-handed action in appointing delegates to state and congressional conventions. Probably a meeting of the committee will be called, on the initiative of clean members, when an effort will be made to right the wrong. Yet the word comes, on authority of a leading republican of Fullerton, that orders have issued from railroad headquarters in Los Angeles, to subservient members of the county committee, not to recede from this position, despite the protest of clean republicans throughout the county; despite the fact that such action would deal the party a blow from which it would not in years recover. That Chairman Morrison is a pliant tool in the hands of designing railroad politicians, is a matter which admits of absolutely no doubt. Given the sop of a "deputy fish commissionership," at a salary of $100 per month, he is relied upon to do precisely as his master bids him. His action in the recent political history of the county and of the Thirty-ninth district leaves nothing to the imagination in that regard. The republican state committee is just as rotten, just as subservient to the railroad, as is the committee in Orange county. Whether the meeting of the county committee to be held this week will vote to right this wrong of sending to state and congressional conventions delegates weight- The republican state committee is just as rotten, just as subservient to the railroad, as is the committee in Orange county. Whether the meeting of the county committee to be held this week will vote to right this wrong of sending to state and congressional conventions delegates weighted down with railroad collars, remains to be seen. But of one thing there need be no doubt. Unless that wrong is righted, Orange county passes from the ranks of republican counties. Too many republicans have arrived at the conclusion that the party must no longer be wholly a political asset of the railroad. A thousand republicans in Orange county stand at the threshold of the party, ready to depart from the political fold to which they have given allegiance during their manhood. Since the above was placed in type, we are informed by the committee appointed to confer with Morrison that the latter refuses to call the county committee together. It is as we expected. The railroad owns Morrison, and needs this county's fourteen delegates in the Oakland convention. Clean men of the state are at its throat. Battling with back to wall, it needs every vote it can draft into service. Morrison has done as he was bilden. APPOINTED DELEGATES delegates arbitrarily apply by the republican county committee to attend the congressional convention at Santa Ana on Friday noted resolutions pledging ties to support S. C. Smith press. If these delegates for an instant that by then they would stay the indignation meeting day, they were grievously The question before publican voters of Orange day is, not whether these will support Smith or man—that question is issue—but, the arbitrary of authority by the committee in disfranchising of the county. The is not as to the candidate less, but this: Are these programmed for Herrin in convention? A arbitrary appointment of delegates by the county community an insult to republicans out the county. Its evident shield itself by endorsing avail nothing. question before republicans the party be disrupted by insurpation of authority? party in Orange county led to Herrin by his paid We answer. No. If the Future of the Pacific "Henceforth European commerce, European politics, European thought and European activity, although actually gaining force, and European connections, although actually becoming more intimate, will nevertheless relatively sink in importance, while the Pacific ocean, its shores, its islands and the vast region beyond will become the chief theater of events in the world's great hereafter." This remarkable prophecy by Seward in 1852 made while Japan was still shut out from contact with the world, at a time when Alaska was as unknown and remote as Central Africa in that day, seventeen years before the first transcontinental railway was built, and long before the first steamship line from America to the Orient was started, is now emerging toward reality. At the time when the commissioners of the United States and Mexico met, in the closing days of 1847, to frame the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the war between those countries, nobody dreamed that gold or silver in any important amounts would ever be found north of Mexico's present northerly boundary. Since then, however, more than $6,000,000,-000 of these two metals have been mined in California, Nevada, Alaska and the Rocky Mountain region. And coal, iron ore, copper and other minerals abound on that side of the continent. Aside from the production of gold and silver, the mineral wealth of that locality has scarcely been touched; and in Alaska, which has already produced $150,000,000 in gold, the capabilities have hardly yet been fairly revealed. On the mainland of the United States west of the Rocky Mountains, says a writer in Leslie's, there are more than 3,000,000 of people. Men is an insult to republicans at the county. Its evident shield itself by endorsing avail nothing. question before republicans the party be disrupted by murpation of authority? party in Orange county led to Herrin by his paid We answer, No. If the to be successful at the November, this infamous be undone.

On the mainland of the United States west of the Rocky Mountains, says a writer in Leslie's, there are more than 3,000,000 of people. Men are living now who will see 40,000,000 or 50,000,000 of people in that locality. By the census of 1900 there were 343,- 000 inhabitants in San Francisco, 102,- 000 in Los Angeles, 90,000 in Portland, 81,000 in Seattle, 54,000 in Salt Lake City, 37,000 in Tacoma and 36,000 in Spokane. Except San Francisco, which has been impeded by earthquake. fire and bad municipal government, all those towns have grown rapidly in the past eight years. At the ocean gateways on our Pacific boundary $91,000,000 of merchandise was imported in the calendar year 1907, as compared with $51,000,000 in 1897. Their exports in 1907 were $94,- 000,000, and in 1897 were $64,000,000. In imports in 1907 San Francisco stood fourth on the list of ports, being led in this order by New York, Boston and Philadelphia only. As our trade with Japan, China and the Orient in general is bound to expand with great rapidity in the future, the element of proximity will give a decided advantage to San Francisco, Seattle, Tacoma and the other big ports on our western seaboard, as compared with Atlantic ports or those of Europe. The five transcontinental lines of railway already in existence aid in furnishing work for the steamers plying between our Pacific Coast towns and the Orient. Shoo Fly, Johnny Morrison!

I expect to go back. Mr. Stanley was a former resident of the east side, and his many friends will be glad to hear of his anticipated return. E.
