Apologists for the building say that the profuse ornateness rightly suggests the richness of California's horticulture. Perhaps the best view of the dome is from the east end of the Avenue of the Nations, near the Denmark building, because from there one can see it unobstructed, escaping the disturbing effect of the portals and their spires.
During the next few years the Sixteenth Amendment made little headway, although the complexion of Congress changed, the Democrats breaking the Republicans' hold and winning a substantial majority. Encouraging as was the more liberal spirit of the new Congress and the defeat of several implacable enemies, Susan found California's failure to return Senator Sargent an irreparable loss.
At the time we regarded it as a triumph of American diplomacy when Japan, in the face of California's threatening attitude, apparently gave in after a little diplomatic bickering and issued the well-known proclamation concerning emigration to Hawaii and the Pacific States, at the same time dissolving several emigration companies at home.
The board of health found traces of arsenical poisoning in all the Jap maladies. The Japs decamped as if by magic. Simultaneously there broke out from Alaska to Monterey the anti-Jap, anti-Chinese, anti-Hindu agitation. California's exclusion and land laws became party planks.

"It sounds familiar," Mrs. Mortimer said, pondering. "And there was another I remember that began: "'I've stolen away from the crowd in the groves, Where the nude statues stand, and the leaves point and shiver,
The story used to be told that after the Reverend Horace Holley had delivered a prayer on some public occasion, Major Ben. The "Alta California's" "elegant tribute" is not quite up to this rhetorical altitude.

A law to prevent the use of poisoned meat baits anywhere in southern California, should be enacted at the next session of California's legislature.
