To the People of Gold Hill
and Vicinity—
OLD HILL arises to claim a new distinction. Its citizens
G
modestly embrace the honor that has been thrust upon them
bv the Luther Burbank Society, of Santa Rosa, California. No­
where else, in so small a compass, has ever been discovered so
large and brilliant a coterie of citizens distinguished for then-
zeal as patrons of science and disciples of progressive research.
Of the very first one hundred honorary members of the society
made famous by its gifted preceptor, the humble little hamlet
on the Rogue lays claim to a considerable tally. Handsomely
engraved invitations of membership, seductively Mattering with
their hint of exclusiveness, brought smiles of self appreciation
to many countenances, before it became generally discovered
that thè favors of the Society had literally been thrown bro d-
cast Letters accompanying the invitations, and signed by the
secretary, intimated that, although the memberships to lie so
disposed had been limited to five hundred, it was considered very
probable that the recipients, who were among the chosen, would
alone be afforded the distinction of being polled among the first
hundred memberships so accepted, and that the further exten­
sion of the Society’s roster would not be deemed advisable for
some seasons to come. Those desiring to be enrolled, and to
whom the honor had been extended in recognition of their sing­
ular fitness for membership in the Burbank Society, were re­
quested as a mere m atter of form to forward membership fees
of $10.00 per month for fifteen such periods, and enter into the
unrestricted enjoyment of their privileges - namely the freedom
by card of the Burbank experiment farm at Santa Rosa, where
‘•the influx of visitors, tourists, curiosity seekers” and other hoi
polli is so great as to preclue a general admission, and the ebul­
lient satisfaction of beholding their facsimile signature append­
ed to the scroll of life memberships as reproduced in a complete
set of the Bnrbank books. Stripped of its empty verbiage and
soft flattery, the proposal reduces itself merely to an ancient
and not overly clever scheme of book peddling. That the com­
piled research of the genius, whose experiments have revolu­
tionized the most ancient of industries, may well be worth the
money is beyond the issue. The method proposed for their dis­
posal is shoaled on shallowness and insincerity. Commercialism
has taken root in Santa Rosa, and the old process of fertilization
will be practically adapted to Burbank’s acres of admirers.
THE SHADOW OE DOOM
N A CURRENT WEEKLY appear two new departures in
J political method in the endeavor to get the ear of the people
The one constitutes a full page of almost prohibitively priced
advertising, the other a modest little single column space. Each
represents an extreme in American political theory. The one
promises panic and depression if its mandates are disregarded
the other offers financial independenc to the toiler, ihrough
one runs the same old flimsy thread of bulldozery and deceit,
through the other the silver weave of faith in human betterment.
One cautions the meddlesome who presume to voice the com­
plaint of their class, the other invites the freedom of thoughful
investigation. They are the representations of two parties, the
Republican and the Socialist. It is written that both may not
endure. One must go down to the junk-room of the centuries.
On the face of things as they are —with the scale yet unequally
balanced—which will it be? ,
