DEAR EYES
SIDNEY LANIFR


Q, love- O. wife thine eyes are they
My springs from out whose shining gray
Issue the sweet celestial streams
That feed my life s bright lake of dreams.
Oval and large and passion pure.
And gray and large and honor sure;
Soft as a dying violet's breath.
Yet calmly unafraid of death.
Thronged like two dovecotes of gray
doves,
With wife's and mothers and poor folks
loves
And home loves and high glory loves,
Ana science loves and story loves.
And loves for all that God and man
In art and nature make or plan;
And lady loves for spidery lace
And broideries and supple grace.
And diamonds and the whole sweet
rounj
OF Titles that large life com pound,
And loves for Gud and God $ bare truth,
And loves for Magdalen and Ruth.
Dear eyes, dear eyes and face complete,
Being heavenly sweet and earthly sweet,
| marvel that God made you mine;
For when he frowns, 'tis then ye shine!

here and there minister who realizes
that involuntary poverty, hunger and
rags are incompatible with the growth
of religious principles IN mems souls
But such instances are deplorably rare.
At the recent civic parliament in this
city the forty or fifty ministers of Los
| Angeles and vicinity were. with two oil
| three exceptions, cons picuous for their
absence. On the occasion when the chiei
| speakers selected were couple of clergy
men, one OF them distinctly stated that the
work OF the church was not one that per-
| tanned to matters of this world, but a spe-
cial work looking to the preparation of
peoples souls for the world to come. The
same speaker also dropped several re-
marks plainly indicating that he had no
correct conventions of economic princi-
pies, the science OF government or the
cause and cure OF the industrial evils
which prevail throughout the land. Nor
did the speaker intimate that he cared to
know anything about such worldly sub
iects. During the five sessions of the par
Lament numerous important and practi-
cal questions were presented and freely
discussed, but only in two or three in
stances. was the voice of minister heard.
The pastor of large and powerful
church in this city recently stated private.
ly that he does not believe that the masses
grow poorer becase few become enor-
mously rich. Just how the producers of
wealth can be deprived of nearly all they
earn and the surplus be taken by few
without the toilers being impoverished,
the learned minister failed to explain.
Possibly he has a system OF mathematl
of his own-a system as mysterious as
his theology. But such manifest contra
diction will hardly be endorsed by per-
son who thinks and Is mentally honest.
These are only few among very many
facts showing that the clergy OF the pres
ent age are not in touch wit h the people.
They are neglecting grand opportunities
for learning and expounding truths
which deeply concern ali classes, and for
which the masses stand in greater need
than for ecclesiastical platitudes. What
the people need today is a knowledge of
how to be comfortable first. and happy
next. How to honestly and without be-
ing slaves TO necessity procure those
things which will supply their ply sical
as well as their mental and moral ma
lures. How to exercise, without let or
hindrance, those natural rights W hich all
alike possess.
When perfect freedom for each one, re-
stricted only by the law of equal freedom
for others, shall be secured, the ministers
will be able to make much greater pro.
gress toward a realization of the miIlen-
mum than they ever can while the pres
ent industrial conditions continue. 1t
would be emlnently wise for the minis
ters to turn in and assist other people i n
the great work of abolishlng the hell OF
involuntary poverty. When that is ac-
complished it will be so much easier to
lead the masses towards happiness and
heaven.

"CAME UP MISSING"

Under the above caption the Pasadena
correspondent of the Times sends to that
paper the following untru.htul and ma
lIcious statements:
"I.ast week lady prominently con-
nected with the free kindergarten move
ment in Los Angeles, solicited advertise
ments among the business men of Pasa-
dsna for the Thanksgiving edition of
the Herald. Much against her personal
wishes but solely to benefit the cause this
lady labored here, and was then inform
ed from the headquarters in the city that
instead of advertisements which she found
it i'm possible to secure here, she was to
solicit contributions to the amount OF S25
which was to pay tor letter in the
Herald, descrl rlbing the beauties of Pasa-
dena. The munificent management of
the Herald was to appropriate $3.50 of
that sum and the free kindergarten was
to receive the other half for the column
letter. The money was raised and sent
into the city, but, when the hanksgiv-
ing edition of the Herald appeared, not
line of the Pasadena letter did it con-
tain, at which the business men who
contributed are exceedingly wroth. One
of these said today that he would have
been perfectly willing 10 have contribut-
ed his dollar to the free kindergarten as
that was deserving charity. but be did
object to contributing 80 cents to a news
paper Inat WOllu rake OH HaI1 OF the
proceeds, and, under the guise of doing
a charitable act, do tho Los Angeles
ladies who we're attempting 10 start
much needed institution. Now the peo-
pie who contributed are inquirinG who is
going to pay them their money back. e"
The Thanksgiving edition OF The Her
aid was under the sole management and
control OF the ladies, who organized to
undertake the unacoustomed task. The
publication was in many respects cred
liable one-better, perhaps, than would
have emanated from the Ia Dor of an equal
NUN Der OF inexperienced men. They
made several errors, and among them
were mistakes in computing the reading
space at their command and in determin-
ing the relative importance OF the mat
ter oollatad. We are informed that a
Pasadena letter was furnished, but was
''crowdsd out" If donations were made
by Pasadena business men based upon
the understanding that letter laudatory
OF that beautiful city was to appear in
tho Thanksgiving Herald, the ladies col
'ecting such donations will doubtless re-
turn the money 10 the donors. The as
sertion that The Herald was the bene-
dciary of one dime OF such donations is
absolutely unwarranted and malicious.
Tho Herald made proclamation several
days in advance of the Thanksgiving pa
per that the Free kindergarten would re
ceive the net profits or the publication,
and that promise will be verified. At
this writing the exact amount which Will
be realized for the Free kindergarten
cannot be stated, but it will be in excess
of 5000

MINISTERS AND INDUSTRIAL PROBLEMS

Notwithstanding the general discussion
Of industrial questions IN progress
throughout the land, there Is one class OF
men whose interest i'll such Important
matters. II indeed that class feels any
interest, is kept carefully concealed from
the public. We refer TO the clergy OF the
country. In the ranks of business men,
professional men, teachers OF schools
and wage workers, there is at the present
time growing disposition to investigate
matters pertaining to political economy.
Every person who has given the subject
even little thought knows that there is
something radically wrong with existing
industrial conditions; that The encroa CHI
ments of monopoly are becoming more OPP
pressive and dangerous every year; and
thai in a corresponding degree the secur-
ing Of an honest livelihood by the masses
becomes more and more difficult. Hence
the prevailing inclination to discover and
remove the cause or causes of this un-
fortunate social condition.
But the spirit of investigation into
such practical everyday questions, we
regret to sar, has not yet, except in a
few cases, developed among the clergy.
1t Is exceedingly rare that q minister is
known to grapple with these worldly
issues. The average church pastor seems
,mbued with the idea that his calling
has placed him beyond anl above the
social problem. His mission, Judging
from his own words ana acts, is TO tell
the people wha5 he don't know about the
world to come; to make frequent guesses
as to what will be the condition of
saints" and ''sinners" after they shall
have lett this mundane sphere; and also
to unfavel, or attempt to unrayel, the
mysteries OF theology so that 10 the
minds of the unframed laitv those mvs-
teries may become as clear as mud.
Meanwhile the great social problem on a
just solution OF which hangs the nation 5
destiny, remains unsolyed aud receives
