The Bishops Address.

Bishop Shaku Soyen was not so much
surprised. perhaps. as some of his auditors
TO find himself in a congenial. intellectual
atmosphere In Washington. He knew the
tenets of the Christian religion better, per-
haps, than did the Americans the tenets of
Buddhism. Therefore. when he talked be-

number of errors on the subject of Budd-
hism and show It's close affinity in moral
precept to the Christian religion itself 1t
was an exceedingly Interesting paper.
Bishop Shaku said in part:
1T seems very appropriate or even neces-
sary al the outset to draw a well defined
line of demarcation between what is known
as Hnayana Buddhism and what is known
as Mahayana Buddhism Most people be-
lieve that there is only one school of Budd-
hism. and that one school is no more than

books, written, translated or compiled by
western orientalists-those orientalists who

eumstances, outsiders are usually either to-
tally ignorant or misinformed of the true

Its founder. say divisions but / might
better say stages OF development For

ment before 1t has attained it's present per

Historical Development.
Bishop Shaku then went on to tell OF the
historical development OF the Buddhist re-
ligion. which, he said, had expanded and
kept pace with the development of human
thought through all the centuries of erien-
ia! culture till now he felt that the Budd-
hism of Japan represented all the best that
had yet been reached in the unfolding Of
the human mind
He said that the Buddhism of Japan was
the law of love, but IL was at the same
time an intellectual religion that was WILL.

After a lapse OF ten years from that time
the abbott of kencho Monastery expired.
Though this monastery belongs to another
section of Zen sect. Rev. Mr.. Shaku was
chosen and elected as successor making
him thus the head Of the two largest mon
asteries In Japanese Buddhism At the
time of the worlds fair In Chicago, 1885,
he was elected as an official delegate of
Buddhism and commissioned to expound
his faith at the religious congress
Year before last. soon after war was de-
clared with Russia, Rev. Shaku took such
deep interest In the spiritual welfare of
the Japanese soldiers that he personally
accompanied one of the armies under the
Prince General FushimI that landed near
Port Arthur. All forms of hardship inev-
liable to the campaign life We're expert
enced by him, which considerably affected
his health; and one of the chief objects of
his visit to this country is to restore his
health.
Under his superintendent he has two
schools. one is devoted to giving a liberal
education to the monks of his sect and the
other exclusively to the monachai dis
clpline and study. The latter has a very
pc cular organization The monks can stay
there as long as they like, but if they want
to be qualified for mastership in the faith
they must be certified by the teacher and
to gain this certitication a spiritual en-
lightenment is necessary.

Japanese Buddhism, ana is generally ad-
yocated by men of refined culture and

More than ordinary interest attaches to
the personality OF the Right Rev. Shaku
Soyen, who is now a guest of the Japanese
legation in Washington. Next to the
mikado, who is the head of the Japanese
Church as well as state, Bishop Shaku is
the highest dignitary of the Buddhist re-
Igfon in Japan. He is a comparatively
young man. but he is the Lord Abbott OF
Yengakuji Temple at Kamakura and is
the head of both sections of the Zen sect
of Buddhism. This Is an almost unparal-
leled honor, as there are usually two heads
of these sects and both are chosen from
among much older men who rise to the
dignity of these offices through age, piety
and experience.
Just now Bishop Shaku is Ill at the Japa-
nese legation. The Illness is not serious but
Is the result of hardship and exposure. He
accompanied the japanese army to Port
Arthur, and with them shared all the ex-
periences of the field campaign. The
bishop does not speak English, but has
iectured In Washington through an inter-
prefer. Dr. Suzuki. who Is accompanying

FRnNzIED PEANUT POLITICS

The thirty or more prominent citizens
and taxpayers who had taken upon
themselves the responsibility of an eff
fort to break the deadlock between
the mayor and city council over the
appointment Of board Of public works
we're confronted at the chamber of
commerce rooms yesterday morning
with a motley throng Of politicians and
others. some of whom were there, not
for the purpose of assisting in any
effort at compromise, but to boost or
defend the interests of political fac
tions.
BY clever management a committee
was finally selected that Is capable of
welding a good influence on the mu-
nicipal situation, but otherwise the
meeting was transformed into a farce.
Still, the gathering demonstrated the
truth of The Herald's persistent decla-
ration-namely, that at bottom the
deadlock between the mayor and
city council over the composition of
the board of public works is a petty
game of peanut politics, involving the
rival Republican machines i'm this city.
There is not n spark of patriotism or
intelligent effort for the progress of
Los Angeles in the mayors attitude.
Perhaps there is not much more in the
attitude of the council, but the council
has the advantage in public opinion
Of having made several efforts for a
compromise. In fact the whole fight
appears to be based upon the ambitions
of the rival houses of Parker and
Bulla.
The situation is a shame to Los An
geles-a shame which the people
brought upon themselves at the last
election.
1t has become an axiom that a mu-
nicipal administration is no worse or
no better than people make it. If that
be true what must be said of the peo-
pie of this city, if Mayor McAleer,
Dock" Houghton and the like are
true representatives of the great city
Of Los Angeles!
The utter disregard of public inter-
ests at this critical time and the de-
votion to machine politics on the part
of those highest in authority are the
fruits of persistent demagogy and the
Widespread disposition to take up with
the man who talks the longest and
loudest concerning things he knows
the least about. 1t is the inevitable
result of elevating men to office who
have no qualification for public SER
vice; for however honest they may be,
they may lack the capacity for ad-
ministration. the faculty that makes
or mars a city.

EGYPT AND LOS ANGELES

1t is the habit of certain unknowing
ones to speak of the present active. de-
mand in Los Angeles for real estate
as "boom''-often in a disparaging
way. There is truth in the assertion
that the realty market here is active
and that property is on the upgrade,
but as for a "boom''--
Hear what Jas. A. Keeney, former
police commissioner who has just re-
turned from tour of the world, has
to say. He declares that Los Angeles
is the city toward which all eyes are
tate boom, it does not exist here.
1.-The only one l found on my
travels" says he, "was in Cairo,
Egypt"
Think of that you croakers, who
howl because Los Angeles is going
ahead rapidly and substantially! Why
shouldn't it? The newest great city
of the world is entitled to a fast and
even excited growth in times that wake
even somnolent old Egypt-the trundle
bed of the human race, where civiliza-
ton first sat up and took notice, yet
since wrapped in the sleep of ages,
is aroused, and they are selling
sand lots in the shadow of the
pyramids, while the sphinx looks down
in wondering awe and popders her old
question: Twill l make or lose.''
Out on the deserts the Bedouins are
bargaining for land and in the'deserted
streets of Thebes, which Moses trod,
his descendants are trading for land
in the country where their ancestors
made bricks without straw, where
Joseph ran the first corner in food
stuffs, and where they learned the les
sons they have ever since practiced,
and ''spoiled the Egyptians" The
voice of the boomer echoes the camel's
scream and the yells of the bidders
silence the howls of the hyenas that
haunt the crumbng tombs of the
Pharaohs.
Los Angeles is a good place in which
to buy realty just now. The city is
just beginning to realize it's own des-
tiny and to take its place among the
great communities of earth. But we
have here no real estate boom. For
that, one must go back to the worlds
first beginnings and on the banks of
Father Nile wrangle with burnoused
Arabs and turbaned Turks.

BRYAN WAS RIGHT

1t remained for the Sacramento Bee
to come valiantly to the support and
defense of William j. Bryan on the
Chinese question.
A telegram from Spokane, several
days ago. carried the news that "about
fifty American commercial representa-
tives and delegates from various
Chinese guilds at Hongkong had
agreed upon twelve proposed modlfl-
cations of the Chinese exclusion act
in consideration Of which the boycott
was to be called Off" In the course
of a speech to the Chinese merchants
the report says that Mr.. Bryan told
them that "the American people would
never consent to a repeal of the ex-
elusion law" Immediately thereafter
the boycotters determined to put on
the screws tighter than ever.
What these proposed twelve modifi-
cations were is not stated, but 1t is
certain they meant the nullification OF
the exclusion law. I'm any case" says
the Sacramento Bee, Bryan was right
ia the position he took, and the Amer
lean people will back him up. This
nation is too big TO be bluffed by any
petty Chinese boycott. A little Of their

The chamber of commerce Is acting
wisely in calling the attention Of con-
gress to the defenseless condition of
the Pacific coast and the urgent neces-
sity for securing proper protection of
oriental commerce. 1t is especially inn
portant that the Los Angeles harbor
at San Pedro have the immediate con-
sideration of congress. The Southern
California coast could be bombarded
by any old yellow tub that happened
along, and this great nation would
be so busy dressing up the Atlantic
coast that It would not know about it
until 1t saw the smoke from the ruins.
Now is the time to provide for coast
defense along the Pacific shore. and
the chamber of commerce is properly
advancing in this direction.
