"Beautiful City Vision Riverside Realized ment, acknowledged to have begun in California, grew Into the overwhelming proportions evidenced in the nation's vote by virtue of the man himself, and also because cf the determination of his many faithful adherents. One of the best known of the early California publican leaders who have broadcast a general welcome to the general public a welcome to the Jubilee which will begin at 6:30 pja, in the Eiltmore's new ballroom. Reservations are new being taken at the Republican headquar ters at the Alexandria. Since 1S20 a band of Californlans, fellow-classmates some and admirers of Hoover, have worked steadily in behalf of the man of "Godlike benevolences and unrivaled administrative genius" as one of his biographers has written.

And so it Is that dwells in the spirit of the wonderfully fine things that Riverside has done as spontaneous tributes to the building while glorifying the ideal of world peace in a day to come, in the selection of its beautiful lines pays subtle tribute to the character, to sacrifice ana to I i i i i 1 Ir. -V I fc.

a solid cast of concrete and a fitting symbol of community unity. cleared away, it is invariably found that the community has settled upon the thing which endures to its credit, bringing satisfaction and praise long after any common use which may have paraded as a present need has been forgotten. There la a wealth of treasures, both of the beautiful and the curious, hid about Riverside doing little good to anyone. These would miraculously come cit into the open if a place were provided for them where perpetual care could be guaranteed to them. It is to the thought of many Riverside people to make this memorial building a storehouse for these treasures where they may remain for all time to please and instruct It is a community thought in the making, but it will find expression because it is the Riverside way of doing things.

On the four sides of the Memorial Auditorium are the Congregational, Universalist, Christian Science and Christian churches. There is a plan to have flood lights placed to the towers of all these edifices and so trained as to illuminate the spires of all five buildings, making them bright spots to the night heavens. Thus, through the genius of Riverside, these faiths will cease to focus their light upon themselves, leaving others in the shadow, but will shed their light upon each other. May this not be an omen of a brighter day when the mists which tend to make creeds self -centered will be dissolved by the one great Light on high, spreading its comforting charity over all who point their aspirations upward. This is not too glorious for a Riverside vision nor too splendid as a Riverside example.

There is a memorial to one who is still alive. It is good to praise and place our garlands while may see and ears may hear. There is a towor for Frank Miller who hns ever been the high tower of Riverside's inspiration. The sentiment upon its keystone Is a declaration for peace. It is called a "peace tower," and from time to time ceremonies are held in its shadow celebrating our efforts toward world understanding.

At the base of the tower, facing the rising sun in the symbolism of the Orient, is a garden planted and tended by the Japanese people of Riverside who laboriously carry water up the mountain and patiently dig its rock and coax color and greenery from the grudging granite. The soil seems utterly sterile and, yet these shrubs are actually flourishing as a reward for this fine sentiment and consistent devotion. If those who are holding the vision for Riverside today have their way the new Soldiers' Memorial will house the community's treasures of art, sentiment and historical romance. While it is said not to have been definitely settled upon, some hoping for a different sort of service; still anyone who knows Riverside will not doubt that the finer thing will prevail. Riverside never does anything commonplace.

After the dust of the inevitable conflict between the util- if not in all tne nonessenwaia 01 the day's routine, certainly in great civic ideals. The building meets a community need and was conceived for practical service. Yet it is consecrated to sentiment rather than mpn utility. A tablet at the en ilk -v 'C-w 'f A' i 1 i ft' s. trance says, referring to tnose ior there is a high per capita of wealth; but it is not a flush community.

There are no bonanza oil wells and there are no $1,000,000 incomes among its citizens. Indeed, hardships have often stalked in Riverside. Never has there been any "easy come, easy go" in its experience. As a community Riverside has had to have its money's worth. It could not just step to the telephone and order the best Riverside has had to shop and in its civic shopping it has demonstrated that Mission architecture provides most for the money.

In the hands of the masters who understand its genius this type has possibilities of marvelous beauty. At the same time it Is practical and economical. It is substantial and enduring. It is plain and so is easy and economical to maintain. It is distinctive.

It has character. It has color and romance. VISION UNFOLDED Riverside of today Is an unfold-ment of the vision of 1900. It can be glimpsed only imperfectly from the sketches which are here presented. It can be better appreciated after a pilgrimage to its shrines; but whom the building is a memorial: "Rphinri us are their glories.

An impressive ceremony was held in Riverside on Armist ice Day consecrating the recently completed municipal auditorium as a memorial to the valor and sacrifices of those who have served their country In time of war, and as a shrine to which in time to come tne people of Riverside will resort to offer tribute to ihe ideals of peace. The triumphs of war and the triumphs of peace were in the foreground and eloquent tongues glorified brave deeds and spiritual victories. In 'the misty shadows were conquests not less remarkable but which no one mentioned. Their history is woven into the epic story of a community's aspiration for the beautiful and of the warfare that has been waged to achieve it amid the crossfires of an age of materialism. The victories of this other Iliad have consisted of a demonstration of the truth of these words of President Cooltdge and have proved that nothing Is so supremely practical as the sentimental and the beautiful.

But this cannot be. Such thrills are reserved for Deity. The utmost that mortals can do is to have faith, magnify patience and fix their gaze upon the heights, keeping the objective to view and striving toward it Riverside has done this.
