men we all know, who are SO intensely

that belong to this world and must be
left behind with this world, that tney
forget that we are really bound for an
other one. The material lays holds on
us tremendously.
1.-THE spiritual the real, we reiegate
easily to the background. We come TO

are the whole thing, whereas we are
assured that they are unreal things ana

unless we are honestly and faithfully

Everything that makes life stronger

With her full $4,000 feet of canvas ready

r. c. Rickmers, the first ship OF her size
ever to visit a port near Los Angeles
and one of the nve square rigged five
masters afloat. majestically sailed from
the harbor of San Pedro yesterday MORN
ing, while $4,000 interested spectators lineo
| the wharves and beaches to wish the
vessel and it's mariners bon voyage.
The five-masted bark, as she Is known
to sailors. was starting on her long
voyage to Australia, having unloaded the
great cargo of cement which she brought
to this country from Hamburg and with
holds filled full of new freight for firms
in the country for which she is bound.
In addition to the members of the crew
the bark carries with her on this trip
| group of eighteen marine cadets and SIX
| officers including instructor and physi-
cian These men have been offered the
courtesies of the vessel by her owner, r.
c. Rickmers, proprietor of the extensive
| ship yard at Bremerhaven and head OF
the rice trust in Germany
The young men were sent out by the
Maritime association of Belgium, an or
ganization formed for the purpose of in
structing youths for the merchant marine
| service They are to use the vessel as a
training ship until such time as the vessel
4 now being constructed by their govern
ment is ready lor their use.
| Examined by Crowds
Since the arrival of the bark at San
| Pedro she has been constant source of
wonder to landsmen from Los Angeles
and surrounding cities. Each day hun
dreds of them have visited the vessel, ex-
amined her magnificent furnishings and
gone away awed and impressed with the
floating palace.
The vessel is said to be the fastest sail
ing bark afoat. In evidence it Is pointed
| to the fact that she makes seventeen
knots an hour under sail, while with the
assistance of the engine on board 1t is
possible to increase this to twenty.
The vessel is built of steel, even to the
masts From the deck to the truck of the
mainmast the height is III feet, while the
masts are thirty-two inches in diameter.
She is Al feet long at the water line and
4S2 feet from fgurehead to stern. She
weighs 1850 tons and has carrying ca
pacity of 5000 tons.
Elaborate quarters have been arranged
for the cadets, the officers and the crew.
The captain, H. Bandelin, has his quar-
ters furnished throughout in mahogany
while the walls are covered with watered
silk.
1t is probable the vessel will cover the
distance. of nearly 10000 miles before she
again reaches the port of Hamburg. Dur
ing all this long voyage she will be accom-
panied by the cadets, who arrived here
from Belgium Saturday and Immediately
| went aboard.

ROW LEADS TWO TO JAIL
AND ONE TO HOSPITAL
Mention Of Woman's Name Starts a
Fight Involving James Palma, His
Opponent, Tom DavIantis,
and Nick Diamos

One man is in the receiving hospital
with a badly lacerated face and bruised
and torn left arm, while two others are
in Jail, one charged with battery and the
second with interfering with an officer, as
the result of fight on North Main street
about o'clock yesterday morning.
The injured man is James Palma, a
teamster living at 142 South Los Angeles
street. A broken nose, a cut cheek and
a number of bruises are his injuries.
The fight occurred over a discussion be-
tween Palma and Tom Daviantis. The
men had been together during the greater
part of the night and had been drinking
freely. At last Palma mentioned a
woman's name.
Hot words followed. At last Davlantis
struck Palma in the face. knocking him
to the ground. Before Palma could arise
Davlantis jumped on him and struck
him several times with small club he
had picked up.
The noise of the scuffie reached Pa
trolmen Mellon and Clifford and they ran
to the scene. Palma was unconscious and
Davlantis refused to answer any ques-
tions. He was then placed under arrest
and the wagon summoned.
While waiting for the patrol wagon
third man appeared on the scene. This
was Nick Diamos, friend of Davlantis.
He approached the officers and demanded
they release his friend. He became
abusive and was at last warned II he did
not leave he also would be placed under
arrest.
This SO enraged Diamos that he sudden
ly turned and struck at Mellon. A fight
followed and Patrolman Clifford succeed
ed in placing the handouts on the man.
He was placed in the patrol wagon with
the wounded Palma, his friend, and the
officers. He was booked at the station
for interfering with an officer.

the other life.
'In the coming city the human heart
will find satisfaction. Our lnstlnctiVe
sense of truth. our longing for justice
our dreams of advancement will enter
upon a process of fulfillment. This COM
ing city will have an element OF per-
manency which is absolutely unknown
here. Here everything is changing. The
currents of life eddy back and forth. we
build all sorts of structures to have
them swept away by the years. There
we shall know an element of permanency
which will preserve all our attainments
and of progress which will make every
attainment a stepping stone to some
thing better and higher.
"In this world the good often goes
down with the bad. The evil that men do
is not always inferred with their bones.
In roofing up the tares we pull up
good deal of wheat also.
Progress Program
SIN the coming city progress will be
the sole program. There will be per-
petual action and perpetual change but
ali action and all change will lift life
to higher level.
"With all their worldliness and forget

continue to think of the coming city.

statements of the Bible with its highly
figurative languages is enough. 1t tells
them all they wish to know about the
future. With others of a different turn
of mind, more scientific and recent
knowledge seems to be necessity.
"As sensible men and women we ought
to look with reverence upon the efforts
of all earnest souls who are faithfully
seeking the truth in every realm of life.
1t is the truthseeker to whom this world
owes all that it is, to those noble and
pioneer souls who have been gifted with
a desire to possess more of the truth
than has been held by the vast majority
of their fellows and who having beheld
q new truth hand it on down to those
below. This attitude toward everything
that seeks to throw any light on the
most serious question with which the
human race has had to deal would bring
us all more truth about the coming city
and would fit us to enter and enjoy II

Pilot face to face, when we have crossed

THE DANGEROUS LOBBYISTS.

Pueblo Chieftain.-In his recent
message to the legislature of Iowa,
Governor Cummins of that state criti-
cised the pending anti-lobby bill, de-
claring that the most powerful and
dangerous lobbyists are not those that
appear openly in the halls of the cap
itol, and that It would be far more
effective as a means of reform if the
people of the several districts would
send to the legislature men who could
be trusted as senators and representa-
tives to stand firm for the interests of
their constituents, and who did not
need to be protected by law from the
arts and wiles of the professional lob
byists of the capitol corridors.
Governor Deneen of Illinois, also a
man of experience. holds similar views,
and the opinion of these two eminent
executives is worthy Of general atten-
ton.
The plan Of excluding professional
lobbyists from the capitol during the
sessions of a legislature has some ad-
vantages and may sometime avoid op.
en- scandals of the worst Sort but 1t
will not cure the evils sought to be
remedied, SO long as powerful but UNI
worthy influences can be brought to
bear from other quarters, and SO long
as the people continue to send mem
bers to the house and senate who can
not be trusted to resist such influ.
ences.

loWA's PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The report of State Superintendent
Riggs shows that the common schools
of Iowa cost in 1883 $6,OOO,0O0; 1891,
$7000,000; 1894, $S,0OO,OO0; 1900, So
100000; 1908, $10,000,OOO; 1904, $10,-
100000; 1905, $10,217, 900.
The superintendent states that
while the population of ,.'e state has
been practically stationary for dec
ade, the number of students at Iowa S
best high schools, normal schools, col
leges and universities has more than
doubled
This is very gratifying, but. it does
not explain the increase in the cost
Of the common schools. Besides larger
attendance the causes no doubt include
longer terms, better buildings AMI bet
ter salaries.
A growth in school costs from $6,-
100000 in 1888 to $10,000,OOO in 1893,
with no important increase in popula.
ton meanwhile, also means that Iowa
has been sending the other states
young men educated at the expense Of
the taxpayers of this state. Such facts
suggest the propriety of national aid
to education If this government ever
establishes inheritance and income
taxes the proceeds should be devoted
largely to the support Of public educa-
ton which heretofore it has aided by
gift of land to new states.
