OF his colleagues. Mr.. Bartnett at least
sees very clearly that the thing is
dangerous to those who hold it. 1t may
he that his plan for getting rid of the
responsibility is somewhat hasty He
would give it away. like one who drops
a hot potato, as speedily as may be.
| His plan has the virtue of simplicity.
We are free to admit that the subject
is full Of difficulties The committee is
on wholly new ground where the prev
| fous training of it's membership is quite
as likely to mislead as to guide in the
way of safety and success That which
may look like a smart bargain as "a
business proposition" may prove their
undoing.
1t has been given out that the COM
mittee proposes to invest s3,0000eO in
building permanent homes for the
refugees and very much smaller sum
in putting up temporary lodgings for
working people. 1t looks as If the
committee had hold of the wrong end
of the stick. How many substantial
houses does it suppose it can build be-
fore Christmas? The time is short
there are bargains to be made and titles
to be searched. 1t would never do to
forget our business principles. Building
materials are scarce and hard to get.
than goose on a fallow and is con-
sumed with talk.
Homes for the people" is an inspir-
ing cry, but homes are only priced as
they are the product of individual en-
terprise and labor. The gift horse ia
mostly a sorry beast that not even
politeness will tolerate. The committee
might take warning by the fate of men
who with the best intentions sought to
create model towns founded on a mix
ture of business and charity. You can't
be philanthropist on a paying basis.
What the working people of San
Francisco and the refugees in camp
need most of all is shelter from the
tempered rigors of winter. They do
not want that shelter all in one place.
They want it distributed in such quar-
ters as will bring them near their work.
They cannot afford to pay the rents
now demanded. They ought not to be
made to pay car fare.
If the committee succeed in getting a
dozen such shelters built ready for oc-
cupation before Christmas day its di-
recting minds will have to strike a
faster gait than they have hitherto
shown. When they have met the i'm
mediate and imperative need it will be
time to fiddle-faddle with ornamental
plans for model villages and happy
villagers and the young May moon.

FORECAST OF INCARCERATION

In the course Of sermon delivered
last Sunday before a local negro audi
ence, Bishop Hamilton Of the Methodist
church said: 1T might create a sensa-
tion IL should say a union Of the races
of this world Is possible. The papers
would take IL up in the morning II I
should tell you the blacks and whites
will eventually merge into one people.
This I know: all determinations must
come to an end and IL is not a question
which nation shall reign in this world"
Bishop Hamilton has an unquestion-
able right to his Views on the subject
Of miscegenatlon, and likewise to the
personal demonstration of them IL he
sees At. 1t is not the purpose of Tho
Herald to reopen an Issue that was
supposed to have been buried with the
abolition party nearly half century
ago. Every one to his or her liking in
regard to the old question whether a
negro is "a man and a brother" and,
lnferentially, whether a negress is a
woman and a sister.
1t is the effect of such preachment to
a negro congregation as Bishop Hamil-
ton is credited with that The Herald
especially criticises. The bishop prac-
tically tells hundreds Of negroes TO
their faces, and through them he tells
the whole negro race in the United
States. that mlscegenatlon is foreor-
dained by the almighty. Note what the
bishop says following the above quo
tation: 1T won't matter whether
man is white or black. IL he is a son
of God, he shall become an individual
part of that people which shall eventu-
ally own this earth"
The effect of such preaching to
negroes cannot be otherwise than per-
nicious. Its tendency is to fill the
negro mind with notions of social
equality, going the full length to ANAL
gamation of the white and black races.
And with these notions we'll rooted. is
it not logical to suppose that such
present negro crimes as are reported
almost daily, would be multiplied in
definitely"
Not one white American in a thou
sand will indorse the miscegenation
doctrine. substantially. which Bishop
Hamilton is preaching to the negroes.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-24

The Call is convinced that the finance
and relief committee is making a grave
mistake in devoting the largest part of
its communal energy and the available
funds to an elaborate plan for building
permanent homes, and this for many
reasons. No matter how good may be
the intentions or how honest the pur-
pose of the committee, the execution of
any such plan will assuredly be at
tended by ugly scandals and bitter
quarrels.
The episode of the flour sale is an
illustration in point. We attribute no
unworthy purpose to the men who
planned that deal. There has been a
great deal of confused thinking on the
subject and the reasons that were first
put forward in support of the plan
were not valid. but in the result,
perhaps, the transaction as finally con-
summated was forced on the committee
by lack of storage and danger of waste.
But this action of the committee, how
ever inspired was, nevertheless, a clear
violation of trust, a diversion of prop
erty from the purpose for which it was
given.
If the committee begins Tying land
and building houses on a large scale 1t
is Qulle Certain lHdL very SlilllidT COiil-
plications will arise. The multitude of
councillors in that body does not appear
to bring wisdom. Some of them are
afflicted with an impediment in their
logic. Others have none at all. On no
other theory can we explain the original
reason put forward in justification of
the flour sale. that it was done to pre-
serve the local market from demoral-
ization. The committee was never con-
stituted keeper of markets.
If this fuddled habit of mind should
have its way unbridled among the in
tricacies of a highly speculative real
estate market; If the committee under
take, as Is proposed, to create new CEN
ters of population and build houses on
any considerable scale there will as
suredly arise ugly and distressing COM
p'!cations that will leave lifelong scars
on many regulations
II seems easy, doesn't it? Just adj
minister the fund" they say, ION busi-
ness principles" 1t is, of course, a
grave and vicious heresy to question the
validity of business principles" as ap-
piled to any relation of life, but the
committee applied or sought to apply,
such rules to the flour deal, and the
results were not encouraging. There is
no charity in business and no business
in charity.

"N0 MORE TROUBLE"
CAUSES MORE FUN
AT THE 0RPHEUM

Although this is the third week that
Wilfred Clarke and company have been
at the Orpheum the act in which Clarke
has the lead is still by far the best part
of the bill. The sketch which he pre-
sents this week is called mo More
Trouble" and, although it is not more
than twenty-five minutes ltng, whole
farces have been constructed around a
smaller number of situations than are
contained in the act.
Clarke is more than a master of facial
expression, and he gets many laughs
from parts for which an actor of or
binary abilities would not be able to
create a smile. Miss Carew. a member
of Clarke's company, was like a short,
fat Dutch comedian in one respect-she
was abused shamefully.
The headline act, "A Strenuous Pro-
posal," Is somewhat disappointing. A
great deal can usually be expected from
a headline Orpheum act, but that does
not work out this week. Claude Gill

A LESSON FOR SAN PEDRO

San Pedro is having trouble with
harbor grades. 1t has granted mole
concession to Mr.. Huntington which
the genial BILLY" Dunn declares may
never be used. San Pedro wants it re-
voked. The Southern Pacific also holds
franchise which rests securely in its
inside pocket, but in regard to work
under which there is nothing doing.
Whereat San Pedro is wailing long
and loud and demanding that some one
get busy.
1t was with great eclat and aplomb
that San Pedro granted the two fran
chises aforesaid. The trustees hastily
and with large generosity fairly
chucked the papers at the petitioners.
Other and outside villages were grab
bing for control of the harbor, and San
Pedro, unable to defend itself from out
side rapacity took a unique way to
prevent further encroachments by CIV
ing away all that was encroachable.
The corporations were willing and the
harbor town rejoiced.
Now. however. there comes an
awakening. The corporations. having
secured about all the town had to give
away, are in no hurry about improving
the opportunities bestowed upon them.
In fact they show no disposition to do
anything more than the merest tech
nical complying with the least possible
terms of their gifts. And San Pedro,
betrayed wounded. indignant, finds
herself alone in her fight and power
less; her antagonists merely sneer at
her and ask: What are you going to
do about it2"
What San Pedro should do is to get
into Los Angeles as soon as she can,
and thus have the powerful backing Of
Los Angeles in her fight. 1t will do
some subterfuge will secure their reis-
suance. Get in under the strong wing
of Los Angeles and let her bring the
corporations to terms Los Angeles
can do it. Remember what happened
to the attempted steal Of the river bed.
San Pedro has thus a very pointed
argument for consolidation or annexa-
tion in this, her trouble. If Los Angeles
were her hacker. none of this trouble
would ensue. II she doesn't come into
this city. and continues to war with
the corporations, only one other end
is in sight-a state harbor commission.
And with the Southern Pacific firmly
intrenched in the harbor. San Pedro can
guess what the harbor commission
would mean.

is more than usually tuneful. Others
who made good with last nights audi
ence were Warren Ellsworth, G. L.

WALTzING AT ARMS LENGTH

Creating better tone to the mod
ern academy and ballroom Is one OF
the worthy objects of the United Pro-
fessional Masters of Dancing of Amer
lea, as stated in their prospectus. To
this end at the annual session now in
session-or shall we say in saltation?-
in this city it has been decreed that,
for the next year at least, men and
women must hold each other at arms
length in the waltz. "See how the
young men and young women hug each
other in the waltz" said one of these
masters. That's all wrong"
These gentlemen are on the right
tack. Anyone must have noticed that
the current styles of dancing, particu-
larly those from fair Harvard, are a
trife too clinging. To the bachelors
and spinsters who paper the WALL
people on the floor apparently act on
the principle laid down in current
popular song. "It's the time, it's the
place. for a great big embrace" But
it isn't. The women of the land should
have corrected this matter ere this;
instead of it they are all singing.
waltz me around again. Willie" So
the embattled masters have intervened
to impose a lesson of decorum. No
body objects to people sitting out
waltz if they want to, but waltzing out
tete-a-tete in the ballroom glare is
quite another thing. Excuse u.s. ex-
claimed the scandalized masters, and
we who paper the wall ndorse.
AS many sins are committed In the
name of dancing as in the name of
acting. 1t is both an exercise and an
art, and in either capacity self-indul-
gence is fatal to it. 1t demands of it's
votaries self-restraint and self-denial,
and that is the ruling factor even in
the oriental modes which have been
so caricatured in this country. Prop
erly interpreted. the dance is a highly
impersonal institution, and as Have
lock Ellis has pointed out, an aid to
morality rather than a breach of de-
corum.-New York Mail
