would do, and an attempt would be
made to secure the balance

position and suggested that q COM

BUT FEW "GILT-EDGERS"

Now it is said that of all the fire In
surance companies involved in the San
Francisco disaster less than dozen
are entitled to full credit for respond
ing on the dollar-for dollar basis, in
all that the phrase implies" All the
rest of the companies are charged with
evasion of their obligations in some
mented for doing all that seems possi-
Bile in square dealing.
Tie policy holders, who are mainly
acting in unison, divide the companies
into classes. ranging from the dollar
for-dollar "gilt-edgers'' down to the
self-confessed welshers. The highest
class next to the gilt-edged one is des-
ignated by the policy holders as Class
A. The companies in this grade are
adjusting their losses ''by charging a
moderate discount for immediate cash
settlements" Next comes Class b.,
comprising companies that "either from
choice or necessity are asking conces-
sions from the policy holders 1t is
said that the settlements effected by
such companies range from seventy
five cents on the dollar to near par.
Following the two classes noted come
the sharks and the welshers. Class
C represents the companies that re-
fuse to settle upon q basis in which
the policy holders are not defrauded OF
25 per cent or more of their money. The
Class d variety are described as
"welshers pure and simple, or compa-
MES that have postponed settlement
Indefinitely or taken refuge in recelv-
erships."
1t should be stated, however, that
many companies in the unsavory class
are absolutely unable to do better than
they offer. Companies that have been
inclined to deal squarely with the pol
icy holders were SO crippled by the
magnitude of their losses that they
have been forced to offer settlements
at heavy discounts.
There are about thirty companies i'm
all that are credited by the policy hold
ers' association with acting fairly and
meeting their obligations satisfacto-
rily.

EXTRAORDINARY DELUSIONS

An unusually interesting subject for
study is presented now in
Los Angeles. 1t is a manifestation OF
emotional religion, so called, reaching
the extreme point of belief, in the mind
of the subject, of ability to raise the
dead after the manner of the resurrec-
tion of Lazarus. The remarkable
feature about the case in question is
the fact that the person who assumes
to possess this supernatural power is
a man of unquestionably high, intel
lectual attainment, the head of prom
inent local hospital.
The physician alluded to has recently
become the head OF a sect numbering
about fifty persons who first attracted
attention by frenzied methods of wor-
Shipping leading up to a claim for pos
session Of the gift Of tongues" A
daughter of the physician was the first
member OF the group to claim the ex-
traordlnary gift. 1t was manifested IN
the utterance Of sounds utterly unin-
telligibe to any linguist in Los Angeles
But AN alleged interpreter was found
in the person Of a professor" OF oc-

HIDDEN JEW ELS

The quantity of tu. .uoises that lie
hidden in jewelry, combined with other
stones and with gold, or by themselves,
is so extensive in the cities of eastern
Europe that it is believed that more Of
them are bought by gem merchants in
this way than are at present secured
from the principal mines.
This is not strange, however for not
only turquoises but other precious
stones are known to exist in remark
ably large collections in Constantinople,
as we'll as in cities in Turkestan, Persia
and communities of southeastern
Europe.
They are hidden away in ginger jars,
rugs, old boxes and ether receptacles
of the household, where the owner be-
lIeves there is little prospect of search
being made for them Gem collectors
who have searched for stones in this
part of the world say that no one can
tell how many and what valuable speci-
mems are thus hidden away, only to be
brought to light when the owner is
absolutely forced to part with them
through dire necessity.
Undoubtedly many a gem brought
from the famous mines of India, Egypt
and Persia has been thus secreted.--

KENDALL HEARS OLD NEWS
Worried About an Alleged Crib Dis
trict Which The Herald Closed Up
Some Months Ago
LACROSSE, Wis, Sept. q

LACROSSE, Wis, Sept. q.
editor Herald: There has been
mailed to me a clipping from Los An
geles paper stating that it Is proposed
to restore in part the old crib district.
This proposition was made tentatively
a year ago and the silence of the Chris
tian public has encouraged its pro-
moters to proceed.
/ can see now that mistake has
been made in my remaining chairman
of the purity committee of the Minis
terial union, engaged as l am all over
the continent. With a live leader in
Los Angeles there would have been
from time to time an emphatic demon
stration that public sentiment had not
weakened on this subject and the "traf-
fic'' would not have been permitted to
return. | became convinced that the
white slave traffic called for national
movement that should have the recog-
milton and support of the national gov
ernment II will be recalled that the
first call for such a movement issued
from the Ministerial union of Los An
geles. | felt myself commissioned as
their representative to see that TINS
event materialized. 1t has been the
work of years, but the consummation
seems likely to be reached this fall in
a movement in which many cities will
participate. Upon my return, II not be
fore, the people of Los Angeles will be
asked to consider the matter. 1t would
be unfortunate for that city TO take d
backward step just at this crisis. TO
be sure, the present conditions OF the
traffic in Los Angeles is far from
satisfactory. But whence came that
condition?
L propose to show the people of Los
Angeles that following our movement
three years ago the traffic did not
exist in that city; that for some time
Los Angeles remained the cleanest city
on the continent; that a reform admin
istration was elected committed to ad-
vanced moral standards; that the pres
ent movement to reinstate the traffic
is of recent origin
This is the story that can be repro
duced from the pages of The Herald
and other papers.
The present condition and the one
proposed are equally bad; and both are
equally doomed by the rising tide of
intelligent indignation that Is sweep
ing over the land.
1t is appearing that purity workers
are not emotional enthusiasts, but men
and women with heads as well as
hearts.
The Christian public of Los Angeles
must be consulted before this new
| crib district is built. Yours very truly,
SIDNEY C. KENDALL.
| (Mr. Kendall needn't worry about his
absence from Los Angeles. Happily
| there are others who are also looking
after the morals of this community,
/ among them The Herald, whose recent
| exposures of an embryo crib district
caused the police department to prompt
| ly interfere and close the cribs. Los
! Angeles is about as clean a city today
as there is in the United States.-Edi-

cultism who claims acquaintance with
an infinito number OF languages that
were in vogue thousands of years ago.
The weird utterances OF the girl, as
thus interpreted, are all OF religious
character.
Intelligent observation of the evident
delusions manifested by the group in
question shows that the gift of
tongues" and the assumption of ability
to resurrect the dead are plain results
Of excessive religious emotion. There
appears to be no ground for questioning
the honesty of either the physician or
his daughter in their pretensions. The
combined mental and physical strain
which the subjects have imposed upon
themselves has caused such weakness
as leads TO delusions
Cases of emotional religion resulting
In insanity are not uncommon in Los
Angeles. The case in question is es-
pecially remarkable because of the high
personal and professional character of
the physician and the extraordinary
delusion leading him to n belief in his
ability to perform the miracle of resur-
rection. And there can be only one
outcome of that delusion IL its growth
be unchecked

THE ART OF HANDLING MEN

Business men often fail because they
do not know how to handle men. They
can do their own work all right. but
they are failures when it comes to di-
recting others. They lack tact, diplo-
macy.
Many men antagonize others; they
lack patience, lose temper, fly to pieces
over little things. And no man is a
good leader who cannot control himself.
A great many business men seem to
think that it takes a deal of driving,
scolding, fault finding to get the best
out of others. 1t is, however, just the
opposite. Employees never give up their
best in response to forcing methods.
/ know a young man who promises to
be a leader in his line who is as quiet
and gentlemanly in his methods as a
modest woman. He never raises his
voice, never gets angry When an en-
ploye needs correcting, instead of scold-
ing or nagging, he sits right down and
shows him or her just how to do the
right thing. He tries to help them out
of their difficulty, not TO confuse them.
He does not need to scold. because
everybody respects him, admires him.
and knows that he is always trying to
do the fair thing, to give square deal,
that he wants only what is just right,
and there is nothing arbitrary in his
methods.
The result is. he does not need to
abusive profane language. He knows
there is a stronger force, better way
than that. The result is that he has
perfect discipline.
Not one would think of taking adj
vantage of him or try to deceive him,
| because he is SO kind, square, true.
/ know another man In business near
/ by him who adopts just the opposite
method. He storms and swears, scolds,
nags. goes through his establishment
like bull through a china shop, MAX
| ing everybody feel mean and disagree
able. Nobody respects him. He rules
| by brute force, keeping everybody
cowed and afraid of him. They obey
him and let him impose upon them in
order to avoid a scene. or for fear they
will lose their positions. II an Office
boy or stenographer makes little mis-
take he will go all to pieces fly into a
rage and make it very uncomfortable
| for everybody about him.
| People waiting in the outer office often
hear loud talking and most abusive
language in his private office. But he
is not nearly as successful as his quiet,
| unobtrusive neighbor.
He never thinks of recognizing one
of his employees on the street.
The other man always lifts his hat
to the humblest girl in his employ, and
has a pleasant smile for everybody. be-
cause he feels an interest In everybody.
and they all love him.-Success.

AN ALL.sPlIr.UP MACHINE

The Endorsement OF the non-partisan
county ticket by the Democratic con-
vention Is having quicker results than
even the most sanguine citizen had anl
tlclpated. Within twenty-four hours
after the convention adjourned the rail-
road Republican machine began to
have conniption FITS, and TO roll and
tumble and pitch about like a sinking
ship in storm. These demonstrations
Of mortal injury have continued from
day TO day. and unless all signs fail In
dry weather. the lumbering vessel will
be found splintered wreck upon the
rocks OF public soorn when the ballots
are all in.
The Southern Pacific railroad bosses
and Republican henchmen fought sav.
agely and desperately on the outer
fringe OF the Democratic convention to
prevent the Endorsement of the nom
partisan ticket They knew IL meant
the ruin of Boss Parker's machine
ticket nominated at Venice. They knew
and still know that the non-partisan
ticket appeals eloquently TO the whole
people of Los Angeles county and that
it will be elected by a sweeping and de-
cisive majority in November. They
knew that the Endorsement OF that ticket
by the Democratic party signihed the
deathknell of the machine.
Now Boss Parker and his machine
Republican county committee, urged on
by such of their Venice nominees as
were discarded by the non-partisan
committee, has demanded that all Re-
publicans on the non-partisan ticket
shall remove themselves from that
ticket on penalty Of being scratched
from the Venice ticket by the machine
on the day of election. Thus far not a
single candidate has responded. Every
man selected by the non-partisans and
Democrats as being worthy of public
office has stood the test and openly
which placed them on the Venice ticket
and which already seeks to dominate
their conduct.
The machine dare not take any force
full measures openly. 1t is in the lime
light of the people of Los Angeles
county. and any attempt on the part
of Boss Parker or of hiss lieutenants
to summarily discipline the seeding
honest Republicans of this county will
only add to the certainty of public ret
ribution.
The machine shows signs of going to
pieces-but it behooves the people to
watch sleeplessly and fearlessly its
every move, for even gigantic animal
in it's death throes can do untold dam
age to spectators.
There is no question but what the
non-partisan ticket has thrown the
railroad bosses :-to a panic, and now
is the time for all honest, patriotic citi-
zens to line up and declare themselves,
to the end that the overthrow of the
railroad tyranny may be complete.
I'VE never sleep" should be the motto
Of all true voters from now until the
day of election.
