Whercin at last our souls must fall, O Love of God most free! —Eliza Scudder READ CONSTITUTION AND GET INSPIRATION Go back to the original fountains of free government in this country—go back to the Declaration of Independence and to the United States Constitution—for inspiration and reassurance in this harrowing time of shocking disclosures affecting government departments at Washington. Regard the revelations as only episodes, not as indicative of prevailing conditions. It should reassure any true American to read the Constitution—to contemplate its wonderful balance; to consider the glorious history that has been written under it; to meditate upon the large measure of liberty it guarantees to the humblest citizen, and the wonderful opportunities it opens to all. It is as tonic to one's Americanism to read and re-read this grand old charter—the solemn confession of faith of the fathers of this republic in the capability of the American people to govern themselves. Washington news is dark and oily.

It is as tonic to one's Americanism to read and re-read this grand old charter—the solemn confession of faith of the fathers of this republic in the capability of the American people to govern themselves. Washington news is dark and oily. Honduras has a revolution that actually shoots to kill. This country should have no caste except the aristocracy of decency, brains and character. Repulations, in Washington, are quoted just a little lower than the mark or the franc. There is vast difference between mere peddling of scandal and actual working for reforms.

DECLARES THEATRE CZAR Drama is deathless, but the spoken drama is being killed. Augustus Thomas, executive chairman of the Producing Managers' Ass'n. and czar of the theaters, following his appearance a short time ago before the committee on ways and means of the house of representatives, condensed figures which he presented at the hearing on revenue revision. It is not Thomas' contention that the 10 per cent federal tax on theater tickets is alone responsible for the enormous decrease in travelling theatrical companies and theaters outside the largest cities, but he does hold that this tax puts a heavy and burdensome handicap upon one of the greatest forces of culture in the country. "In the last three years," he said, "the theaters throughout the country in which the spoken drama is housed have decreased in number from 1200 to 400 houses. The cities—I mean the medium sized and smaller cities—throughout the country in which the spoken drama had a house have decreased from 800 to 200. Thus 66 per cent of the theaters have been cut off and 75 per cent of the cities."

Fifty years is a tolerable span in the life of any community; in a new country like Southern California it marks changes more notable than a century of old settled commonwealths of the east and south. In the case of Pasadena it means the development of a city of more than 60,000 people on a site where a half century ago sagebrush and cactus sheltered the coyote, the rattlesnake and innumerable jackrabbits and quail. Pasadena was established as a fruit colony in 1874, its founders being from Indianapolis, and the embryo city was at first known as the Indiana Colony, being christened Pasadena two years later. This was an Indian name and signified "Crown of the Valley," proud and worthy title. The 4000 acres included in the purchase of the Hoosiers-cost $17 an acre, and the early settlers planted out orchards and vineyards and entered upon the development of a community life early in the history of the colony. The writer was a resident of Pasadena 40 years ago, when the colony was merging into the town and its people began to have a misty vision of future greatness. There was at that time but one brick building on Colorado street, and it is guessed that the founders would have materially widened this thoroughfare had they guessed that it would one day be the "main street" of a city of Pasadena's size and importance. Pasadena began to make its real growth with the coming of the railroad in 1885, and its nearness to Los Angeles and its favorable climatic conditions combined to make it most attractive to persons of wealth and culture. Its fine community spirit has found expression in the annual Tournament of Roses and in the development of an unexcelled public school system and the building of churches and clubhouses. No city of its size has hotels in number and quality comparable to those of Pasadena and no city of its size has so great an aggregate per capita wealth. It is regretted that more of the founders of the Indiana of 1874 could not see the Pasadena of today. They were warded with a vision fulfilled in greater measure than any imaginings pictured.
