a. m.-The Russ, in an editorial article
this morning, strikes stirring note,
not minimizing the extent of the de-

no word about peace, its whole thought
being uncompromising prosecution of

Ordinance Buried

The council looked askance at the
three ordinances and finally buried
them In the committee of the whole
where they have peacefully rested ever
since. The people are aroused on the
subject however and a committee of
the Good Government league called on
the councilmen last Monday and gave
them two weeks in which to act on
the ordinances, telling the city fathers
that If action was delayed the affair
would be taken in care by the people
through the initiative and referendum
and recall If necessary. This together
with other pressure brought to bear
on the councimen seems to have had
effect, and those Interested In the pas
sage of the ordinances believe there is
an excellent chance for them being
favorably handled Monday. Several
councilmen spoke favorably of the or
dinances yesterday, but Councilman
Hitler was most emphatic in his state
ments.
"At Mondays session of the council
l will call for a meeting of the COM
mittee of the whole to consider the gas

Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-11


The Los Angeles city council has at
last realized that the time for action
has come on the gas ordinance, if
statements made yesterday by MEM
bers of that body Indicate anything.
The fight for better gas at fair
prices, inspection of gas and of meters
which was naugurated several
months ago by The Herald and since
taken up and supported by the people
themselves and various civic organi-
zations promises to be carried to a
successful finish in the near future
according to the frank statements of
several prominent councilmen.
When The Herald called attention of
the citizens and council of Los Angeles
that the city charter put the regula-
ton of such corporations which were
dealing or handling public utilities the
people instantly asked their council
men to act. The city attorney was in
structed to draw ordinances which
should regulate the telephone and cleo
trio lighting companies, and greatest
of all the gas monopoly. These ordi-
nances were prepared carefully and
City Attorney Mathews told the coun-
Gil that in hiG opinion they would
control the monopolies mentioned and
also stand the test of the courts, II

SUBSCRIPTION So PER YEAR
A Defective. Code.

AS investigation continues its
being found that The code reviis:o
of the laws Of the state contains
a good many serious COMMISSIONS
SO that it is apparent that the
code ought not to be passed by
thelegislature inits PRESENT. rm.
A striking instance of the def
ciencies of the code is found in
the fact discovered few days
ago that the code has at one
stroke done away with all the re.
forms asto hail insurance enacted
the legislature two years ago.
At the last session Of the legisla-
ture Senator Stephens of Crook
ston secured the passage Of a
/.
law materially amending the law
as to hail insurance. The amend.
ed law put an end to the whole
sale hail insurance to which the
farmers of the state have. for
many years been subjected, The
revised code omits this Legislation
entirely thus making possible
again a horde of wild cat insur-
ance companies to prey on the
farmers Of the state. This re
form legislation was secured only
I in the face of strong and deter
mined opposition on the part Of
the hail insurance companies and
if the code is adopted in it's pre-
sent form the fight will have to
be made all over again.
This is one illustration of which
many might be cited. The revis

The New Theology.

In our judgment the book Of GenesIa
b a collection of ancient traditions, some
of them certainly rot OF Hebraic origin,
which were rewritten by an unknown
prophet for the purpose OF imparting to
them ? spiritual significance and making
them the vehicles of a spiritual lesson
The relation 6t Genesis to these ancient
historic traditions is something analogous
to the relation Of Tennyson's "Idylls Of
the King" to the ancient Arthurian
legends of English history.
If a professor OF English literature
were teaching Tennyson's "Idylls Of the
King" to a class Of young pupils. he
would spend very little time. probably
none at all. in considering their relation
to the ancient legendary material Of
which the poet made use. II a pupil
asked him, Are these idyls founded on
factY be would reply. "They are found
ed on legend, and how much Of fact
there is in the legend we cannot now
tell" He would then return to the
poems themselves to point out their
beauty Of diction and their ethical aud
spiritual significance. This is the course
which we should advise any teacher OF
Genesis to pursue.-OutlOOk.

Miss Van Orden halted and regarded
the display in the windows Of Berg &

was no excuse for her to linger at that
particular window, for Berg & Co. as
everybody knows, are haberdashers.
and Miss Van Orden was fatherless,
brotherless and unmarried.

its display Of masculine attire whose

fascinating, kept rising before her eyes,
and almost automatically she retraced
her steps in that direction.
