Today If' hy Do They Quarrel? The. Hope of America. With a Shaved Head. But This Is California. ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE j On this train, bound for the Pa cific, you learn that there is jeal ousy in California, where no evil thing should be. It’s hard to imagine human beings living on a mountain of solid gold quarreling as to which end of the mountain is better, but they do quarrel in a brotherly way. The man from San Francisco: “There are two kinds of people in California. In the north, descendants of people that start ed for California, in 1849, and got to California. In the south, descen dants of people that started for California in 1849 and got as'far as Iowa.” *The man from Los Angeles: “Quite right. People in Los Angeles stopped off in Iowa first to make enough money to build up California and enjoy life in that heaven on earth, then they came to Los Angeles and made their end of California the big end.” The Los Angeles man adds, cas ually: “By the way, Los Angeles has gained 80,000 population in the last six months.” No easy answer for that. I One that has wavered between ! southern and northern California, j as a small boy wavers between ; “vanilia and strawberry” at a pic nic, can testify that it is impos sible to choose. At both ends you have the Pacific, climate of which you may have heard—finest of all oceans and the California today. — An earnest young man, with shirt, cravat, handkerchief and socks, all of them well matched, refined, delicate, pale blue silk, introduces himself because he un derstands you are a friend of Mr. Michael that used to run the ad i vertising of Monroe Shops. He was in the gents’ furnishing line him self, but strangely enough he has changed to cigar jobbing and re tailing clear Havana is his spe cialty. You never can tell what changes will occur in this world, he thinks, and he is right. He used to he in Portland, now he’s in San Fran cisco. He is willing to admit that scenery “leaves him cold.” It’s sagebrush here and sagebush there, and mountains with streaks on them. “I’d rather study that fine kid.” He is right again. The fine kid is worthy studying. His adoring parents, aged about 23, circle around the earth. They have shaved the head of their 2-year old baby, nicely, half way up the back of his skull, and he never cries because father or mother re fuses to obey his orders. They never refuse. Every stop the baby walks up and down and eats an ice cream cone, while father and mother, in a trance, look first at each, other, then at the baby. Their look says, “There is the hope of America.” Made thoughtful by this you read the newspapers, real hopes of America, intellectual irrigation plants, scattered all along the rail Toad. It is touching to read in Senator Capper’s (Topeka Daily Capital) last Wednesday’s paper of Mr. and Mrs. Bath, both age 82, both praying every day for 50 years not to be separated, and dying together. You know their life was worth while. Then you read that they were buried after “& double funeral in the Reorgan ized Latter Day Saints church in Scammon, Kan.” By whom, how and why were the Latter Day Saints reorganized? Reorganize the New York, New Haven & Hartford, the Rock Island or the B. R. T. by all means, but why reorganize the Latter Day Saints? Dear old Mr.- and Mrs. Bath. What a surprise when they reach heaven, hand-in-hand, and learn that there is nb special section set apart for “Reorganized Latter Day Saints.” But this is California. When you have said that, you have said everything; and after you have said it the last thing you would think of is work, even workless work, dictating such as this to a phonograph. Yet the people that live here all year ’round work as hard as the old time boomers of Kansas City in days when Nelson got out the Star in a basement near Seventh and Delaware and wrote about a four-story building as thdugh someone had moved the Parthenon from Athens to Kansas City. They work like demons, all through the business day, these California men. And when the day's work is finished they spend four hours telling you and each other how wonderful California is going to be, but they don’t tell half the golden truths. They relight in oil wells, spouting everywhere, and just now disturbing the oil giants by ruining the oil market. A few years from now memories of “oil wealth” will seem a child ish dream. There is a million times the value of all the oil in that water going to waste back east in the Glorietta mountains, and in> other mountains that bring down rain from the clouds. Put that water on this soil and it turns into gold. There is the real wealth. - Come west, young man; the chances are as goof, as ever and better. If that is possible, hring money with you. This is the place to.invest it, enjoy it..

Freight Blocks Auto; Columbus Man Finds Remedy for Trouble Autoist Blocks Train Special Dispatch to Th» Omaha Bee. Columbus. Neb., Aug. 13.—Some times a train pushes an automobile off the track, and sometimes— Did you ever sit In your motor car patiently or impatiently waiting for trainmen to leisurely cut a string of cars that was blocking your progress?
