HOW TO REACH THE LABoHIN0
GLASSES " ~
The Episcopal Church VIII Open \
Campaign Of Christian Social
ism In January 81

For the past six months the Rev. John
Gray, rector Of St. Paul,s Episcopal
church, has been working on a plan to
make hts church reach out to the labor
ing classes, and. II possible. deal In .
practical way with the industrial Ques.
tions with which the country IL now
faced.
Previous successful work along theSe
lines In San Francisco has greatly aided
Mr.. Gray In his work here, and he has
now gathered men Of every class and
every shade Of opinion, and has cement-
ed them together In an organisation
known as the Peoples Club No. l."
the initial movement in course Of ac-
ton which he hopes may be adopted BY
church members Of every denominatioti
in Los Angeles.
Reports from the Lambeth conference
held in London last summer. and
Los Angeles and Nichols Of San Franz
cisco. and the presence on the Pacific
coast Of Rev. w. D. p. Bliss, Of the
Church of the Carpenter. Boston, who
Is recognised by all denominations az
an authority on Christian socialism,
have been powerful factors in assisting
Mr.. Gray In pushing on this movement.
Mr.. Bliss will come to Los Angeles n
January and will hold series Of meetd
ings and services for the spread Of what
may be termed the Christian socialistic
faith. Arrangements were completed
at the last regular meeting Of the Peo-
pies Club No. / for the reception Of
Mr.. Bliss, and in beginning a campaign
in which the Episcopal church. in open
alliance with the labor unions of the city,
will demand greater freedom Of oppor-
tunity for the laboring classes.
In a plain but forcible address the
president Of the club at that meeting
outlined the doctrine Of Christian social.

ties as John Stuart Mill, Prof. Nash, the
"Ecce Homo" Of the late Prof. Seeley,
Canon Charles Gore and other authori-
ties on the subject to show what the
Christian church is doing, II anythingj
and how far its work is effective along
these lines.
The census Of 1890 shows that besides
|142,621 church erifices there are In the
United States over 20,000,000 church
members and nearly 10000. 900 Sunday
school scholars. Yet In spite Of these
immense numbers, the Christian church
Is not making itself sufficiently felt.
Statistics show an amazing number Of
crimes, and any one who mixes with
the world will bear testimony that bust.
ness morality, even among protesting
Christians, ID not Of the best.
In concluding the address the speaker
pointed out the meaning Of the 6crip-
lures from an economic standpoint; the
disadvantages Of concentrated wealth.
and advanced theories for reconstrucS
tion in many ways. and definite lines
along which the work might be carried
to practical beneficial results.

the line 1t is not of course. n case or cause
and effect 1t is simply continued progression
of major forces unchecked by minor obstacles

the latter. That Is ALL The story OF 1910 is
repeated. The change from Empire to Republic
was good thing for France. but IT did not re-
pajr the damage Of Gravelote and Sedan. nor
stop the German march to Paris. Mr.. RAIN may

THE CAPITOL INVESTIGATION.

The prospect now is that an investigation OF
Superintendent Eastons management or the
public buildings will be made and that 1t VIII
amount to something. Governor Black has
taken the business in hand. and has Indicated
his intention to proceed with 1t promptly. in
stead of waiting until he has got rid of the thirty
dav bills There are doubtless some indiyid-
uals whom this move has disturbed and a good
many whom it has surprised. When the Senate
on the last day Of the session, following the eX-
annie of members Of the special committee who
lost no time In declining to serve, resolved not
TO investigate the charges involving Mr.. Easton.
but to turn the job over to the Trustees Of Pub
lie Buildings the general expectation was that
little or nothing would be done about the mat
ter. IL this was the intention as well as the be-
lief. the miscalcuatlon was apparently due to
misconccption of the Governors temper. He
was known TO be annoyed ut the conduct of the
Senate; indeed, he expressed the opinion with
considerable emphasis that 1t was running away
from its duty. But that conviction, instead or
leading him to adopt similar course, mas
prompted him to begin an investigation which
is meant to investigate
On the whole, therefore, II present appear
ances can be trusted, It Is fortunate for the
State. though not altogether creditable to the
Senate that this task was RENTED to the Trus-
tees of Public Budngs-that Is, to the Gov
ernor. the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and the Speaker
of the Assembly. There Is no doubt that these
charges OF favoritism and extravaganza in the
maintenance of the public buildings Mt the cap
ital ought to be the subject Of thorough and
rigid inquiry Described in the mildest terms.
they involve a scandal which 1t would he shame
full to ignore or cover up. The truth ought to be

reminds us Of the intimation which has been
craftily and persstently made and repeated ever
since this matter began TO attract serious atten-
tion namely that an investigation would he

on the part Of members Of the Legislature and
other conspicuous Republicans. This Is a IA
miliar device for keeping light out Of suspicious
corners, and it has succeeded in n good many
cases in which it ought to have failed-to the
great II not the exclusive satisfaction OF those
who slyly suggested the risk Of an illumination.
But suppose there are Senators and Assembly
men whom an investigation Of EastOn's opera
tons will put in an awkward position Is that
a good reason for ignoring them? 1t strikes us
as an uncommonly good reason for pursuing
the inquiry with the keenest zeal. The ACCUSE
ton is that public money has been spent with
reckless profigacy. The people want to know
whether or not this Is true 10 what extent II IS
true, who got what the State lost and by whose
contrivance they got it. These the things.
as we understand it. that Governor Black in
tends to find out. He cannot begin too soon or
be too thorough.

TILE SUPPLY OF WOOL

The 1st Of May has nearly arrived, with the
beginning Of new wool year. 1t is n fitting
time to inquire how much wool there now is in
the country, and also what the effect upon the
markets will be II for two months or more, by
abandonment Of the clause making duties apply
10 imports after April ], the recent imports with
many million pounds moro are admitted free. 1t
Is most natural that the manufacturer who has
accumulated nearly or quite years supply Of
free wool should prefer to get as large profit as
possible. But it is also wise for the manufact-
urcr to consider how public opinion In wool grow
ing States will be affected with respect to future
duties on wool and woolen goods.
Without repeating figures ut length, II may be
stated that the apparent supply Of wool In the
last three calendar years, domestic and imported,
deductlng known stocks unsold nj the end OF the
period and at the beginning, has been ,333 41O.
800 pounds. In no one calendar year prior TO
that time was the apparent consumption in man
ufaciure as much az 50O,OOOOO0 pounds 1t Is
certain that a large part OF the machinery was
idle through most Of the year 1894, through more
than half the year 1898, and through nearly the
whole year 1896 1t was not believed by com
petent judges TINT 20 per cent Of the manufact-
urlng capacity was employed last year, and II
would be generally regarded liberal to esti-
mate that 80 per cent was employed In the two
previous years taken together. There IL not

No one will pretend that the condition of the
people has been such that they have purchased
