SAYS FELLOWSHIP
IS ALL IN LIFE
PROF. ZUEBLIN TALKS ON THE.
FUTURE OF CITIES
Predicts Great Future for Los Angeles
and Declares the Present Is
Time for Telling
Action

Fellowship is, after all, the only
thing we live for" said Prof. Charles
Zueblln of Chicago university last night
in the second of the series of lectures
that he Is giving at the Symphony hall,
and this in reality sums up his entire
address,
The hall was well filled and the audi
ence appreciated a lecture on civics
which could have been delivered only
by man who has made an exhaustive
study of the subject which he UNDER
took to discuss.
Prof. Zueblin predicted great future
for Los Angeles and a great growth In
every direction, and urged his listeners
to put forth their best efforts to lay out
the city of the future so that it would
be prepared to take care of the great
mass of poor people who must in time
come to every large city as they have
to the cities in the past.
He deplored the fact that some of the
districts here are so congested and the
people allowed to live in such crowded
and unsanitary conditions as they do
but congratulated his audience that
they are beginning to take hold of these
things and are making some headway.
Ignorance" said Prof. Zueblin
"rather than dishonesty, is the cause Of
much bad government 1t is always the
illiterate or the new immigrant who Is
ignorant, but it too frequently extends
to those who govern the city.
Good Citizens Do Vote
1--WE frequently hear the expression to
the effect that certain election would
have turned out differently if the good
citizens had voted. The good citizens
are the ones who do vote. We have also
come to the conclusion that citizenship
is not only expressed on elction day but
Is expressed 365 days in the year and
sometimes 366 days. But every one Of
us has responsibility, those who can
not vote as well as those who do vote.
1--WE have heard another expression in
the last two or three years and that is
The Simple Life There Is something
that is greater than this much talked
of simple life and that is common life.
The individual who is divorced from
common life is little less than human.
The only life is the one that is based
upon common life, and yet many people
are trying to dodge that very thing.
You must share common life to be a
good citizen. 1t is not the ability to ex-
clude fellow men but the ability to fra
ternize with them Is the measure of
good citizenship.
"There are two things in the large
city we must consider and they are con-
gestion and industrial dependence"
Prof. Zueblin then went on to say
that the crowded quarters in this coun-
try are worse than they are in London,
which is much talked of as city of
congested living. He said sanitary
conditions must be introduced.
Regarding industrial dependence he
stated that all seem to be dependent
upon one man and that man is John d.
Rockefeller. In treating this part of his
subject he took the stand that is taken
more or less by the Socialists today and
stated that the people as whole should
be educated and taught to be dependent
but dependent upon each other instead
of the great mass dependent upon few
men.
In closing he said: "There is a chance
right now for you to make your city
better. Build up your social functions
You can breed such race as the world
has never seen, but it requires an effort
on the part of every one toward the
betterment of the condition of his fell
low men"
