Charles Fletcher Lummis: ‘Stand Fast, Santa Barbara’
Pearl Chase referred to Charles Fletcher Lummis as “good-looking and considerate, and he knew how to arouse interest in public affairs.” She noted that, “He had the gift of gab and writing, and one of the things which Santa Barbara has cherished has been a speech he made here.”
Lummis, who lived from 1859 to 1928, gained national attention when he walked across the country, from Cincinnati, to take a job as city editor at the Los Angeles Times. He documented his journey in columns he later turned into a book, A Tramp Across the Continent, one of 20 books he wrote. The Los Angeles Conservancy notes, “Lummis is considered by many to be the father of historic preservation in Southern California, having founded the Landmarks Club in 1895 to promote restoration of the badly deteriorated 18th-century missions.”
Like Chase, he was a transplant from Massachusetts; she from Boston, he from Lynn. Lummis had attended Harvard University with Theodore Roosevelt and had the privilege of joining his former classmate on a trip to the Grand Canyon in 1903. The president gave an impassioned speech to the Arizona residents who had gathered to witness his presence.
Standing at the rim of the magnificent canyon, Roosevelt exhorted the assembled to stand up for the natural wonders, natural resources, history, and romance of their country. Lummis was moved by Roosevelt’s powerful speech and reworked it into his own.
As a friend of Santa Barbara painter Edward Borein, Lummis first visited the town in 1888, the year of Pearl’s birth. He was a fierce admirer of Santa Barbara: its history, traditions, and cultural heritage. Lummis saw Santa Barbara as the best example of the best of California and delivered his classic speech, “Stand Fast, Santa Barbara!” at scenic Gaviota Pass in 1923.
As he described it, “It is a sermon for all who love Santa Barbara, for all who love California, for all who love the West, and Beauty, and History, and Romance which is as
much to say, for all who really have souls. Not a gospel of Sissies and sentimentalism, but the two-fisted gospel of the men who have made the world nobler by their words. And my text may very well be from TR.”
Thanks to Pearl, his speech immediately became a rallying cry for the protection and preservation of Santa Barbara. She knew the value of his “picturesque phraseology and his knowledge of and interest in the West,” and quickly sought his permission to reprint and distribute the work widely.
Under the auspices of the Plans and Planting Committee of the Community Arts Association, Pearl commissioned a brochure featuring a portion of his address and sent it out all over the country. She also arranged with local publisher Thomas Storke to have the entire speech printed in the local newspaper once a year, and he did so for decades. Here’s an excerpt:
Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin Santa Barbara of her Romance! They are sure to do it, unless you watch and stand fast. This is essentially the Vandal Age. Romance is the greatest asset California has. It has been, for more than 350 years. To all this centuried romance Santa Barbara is the legitimate and favorite heiress about the only town left that has yet to trade away her birthright. Beauty and sane sentiment are Good Business as well as good ethics. Carelessness, ugliness, blind materialism are Bad Business. The worst curse that could befall Santa Barbara would be the craze of GET BIG! Why big? Run down to Los Angeles for a few days see that madhouse! You’d hate to live there!
By all that is fine and reverent and high Faith to Patriotism get together! The honor of Santa Barbara is in your hands and do not fancy for a moment that her Good Name will stand if you let the materialists strip her of her Romance and leave her nakedly Common.
It is up to you to save Santa Barbara’s romance and save California’s romance for Santa Barbara. I would like to see Santa Barbara set her mark as the most beautiful, the most artistic, the most distinguished and the most famous little city on our Pacific Coast. It can be, if it will, for it has all the makings.
Lummis, known as a well-traveled, adventurous Renaissance man, founded the Southwest Museum and built a distinctive home, “El Alisal,” in Pasadena’s Arroyo Seco. He frequently hosted gatherings of local artists, writers and other Bohemian spirits. The remarkable historic stone structure, known as the Lummis Home and Gardens, is now a part of the Los Angeles Parks and Recreation Department and can be toured on weekends only.

True #Hacks in Today’s Market
When it comes to real estate, it seems like there is always a story. Barbie finds dream home in Super Bowl TV commercial! Buy Sunset and flip your way to millions! Home remodel for less than your grocery bill! Rates plummet! Rates skyrocket! Clickbait abounds, and seeing folks on another side of the country find the perfect, slightly beat-up to beautiful abode for less than the lowest closed condo in South County can make anyone feel like the deck is stacked against them. That said, there’s plenty of opportuni-
ties to put yourself in the right position if you know a few key rules of thumb. From qualifications to budget, here’s a few that you can keep top of mind.
The Rule of 45 Percent: Qualifications vary per program, company, investor, and offering, yet most loans will qualify with a 45 percent debt-to-income ratio. This means that the total of your monthly obligations fall within 45 percent of your total gross income. So, if you bring in $10,000 per month, then the total of your housing payments and minimum monthly payments from your credit report are capped at $4,500.

Your housing payment is your mortgage + taxes + insurance + homeowners association dues (HOA). It is not your utilities or cell phone bill. Your minimum monthly payments from your credit report are things like car loans, student loan payments (yes, even if deferred, they’ve got be counted), minimum credit card payment (yes, even if you pay to zero, some sort of payment usually reports), and even things like alimony, child support, or co-signed debts can be included. It is not your wine club or Netflix subscriptions, or even your car insurance. Looking at these levels of payments in relation to your income tells you how much you can qualify for.
by Austin Lampson
fire area however, this will give you a general idea. It is commonly known that down payments are usually broken into percentages: 5 percent, 10 percent, 20 percent, and so on. Yet even if you have a strict goal of $75,000, you can still use the Closing Cost Factor of 2 Percent This gives you a buffer for the three buckets of closing costs that apply to every mortgage transaction: loan fees, title and escrow fees, and prepaid items. The first are relevant to your lender and loan structure. The second is relevant to the terms laid out in your purchase contract, or selected title and escrow company. The third refers to the recurring cost of homeownership that you prorate at closing; property taxes, insurance bills, or interest may all be due at the time of closing.
But in order to qualify, we have to know the housing payment level, right? A rule of thumb here is that every $100,000 in real estate costs around $700 per month. So, if you are buying a $500,000 condo, then it would cost around $3,500 per month. Or if you are buying a $1,000,000 house, then it would cost around $7,000 per month. Again, your terms can and probably will be different insurance is quite variable these days if you are in a flood zone or high
By combining these three rules into your personal situation, you can do some quick calculations, put yourself on the right path, and save yourself that next annoying pop-up ad.
