about the state of California:
Tho crisis in the affairs of Wall street which

panic vibrations to timid hnanciers throughout

of the governors holiday proclamation Los

crop are being banked and active preparations
are being made for marketing that of 19O7-l9os,
which promises an increase of 300G carloads.
The celery, walnut, bean and raisin crops
being moved. Prospects for good returns
from celery crop are better than for several

Nation as Rich as Ever


The oil output for the year will reach be-
tween 3o.O0O.0O0, and 4o.ooO,00O barrels. but is
not meeting Increased demand. The reserve
supply is rapidly diminishing and price for
crude oil is advancing.
More people than ever before have this year
taken advantage of colonst rates to come to
us and the railroads bookings promise an un-
usually large number of winter visitors. There
Ia certainly no reason for feeling any appre-
henson concerning Southern California. In
the east the situation has been relieved by
gold imports and government aid, and seems
now to be we'll In hand. 1t is an anomalous
business condition that has been presented to
us. With railroads earning more than ever
before, their facilities unequal for business
offered. With mills and factories busy and
usual dividends ruling, and with country's 8
crops worth at present prices one-half billion
more than any previous year face a finan-
cial collapse. Values of stocks quoted on Wall
street show shrinkage for the year Of some
billions. but It was just the water being
squeezed out. There actual destruc-
ton of capital after the imitation and over
production of securities which marked a
frenzied promotion era came liquidation.
few men are not so rich the nation is rich
as ever. The newly created capital, in same
period, from crops alone to say nothing Of
other industries is much in Of shrink
age in listed securities, II that shrinkage rep
resented actual loss of country's capital.
The properties of industrial and transporta-
tion companies are intrinsically worth as
much as year ago; their earning powers as
great. Prices on change have no relation to
actual cash values and cannot affect prices
for commodities OF life, which follow laws of
supply and demand. The gambling interests
should be carefully segregated from the In
dustrlal. year ago there was money
enough for current needs. why should there be
insufficient money now to meet business de-
mands? What has become of the floating capi-
tai Of year ago? 1t Is in safe deposit vaults
and stockings drawn out of circulation by the
tinid and boarded by reason of growth Of
distrust and fear. Gold imports of s25, 900. 900
relieved greatly the New York money market
stringency; $34000.0 900 was withdrawn by a
run from one New York trust company alone.
1t is we'll for westerners to note the difference
between this financial disturbance and that

because of poor crops and heavy mortgages.
The middle west banks drew heavily on New
York. It a business panic, followed by
a money panic. This is money panic the
result OF reckless fnancering which disturbed
confidence of investors, but it does not seem
possible that under existing conditions it can
possibly be followed by business panic. Es-
pecially is this true in the west where big re-
serves have been accommodating the past four
years and where the resources were never in

AN ODIOUS CENSORSHIP

The joint postal committee of con-
gress has prepared a report and bill
regarding second class mail matter
which, in point of inquisitorial censor
ship and unfair assault upon the rights
and business of the American newspa-
pers and periodicals, exceeds anything
yet attempted outside the royal edicts
of the czar of Russia.
This bill-the details of which We're
published in The Herald of last Mon
day morning-is grave menace to the
liberties of the press. 1t frankly and
drastically proposes TO limit the busi-
ness of publishers and restrain all ten
denotes on their part to be ovcrliberal
with subscribers. 1t confers upon the
postollice department the power to
NEEDLE with the personal affairs Of the
newspapers, to limit the size, shape and
weight of newspapers and to sit IN
judgment upon their contents. BY its
provisions a system of inquiry and in
Quistion is instituted, under which ordi-
nary and proper privacy enjoyed by
every line of business, is forbidden to
the newspaper publisher. Instead, the
publisher is required to make a sworn
statement daily oc any information re-
specung his publication which the post
master general may desire.
The joint postal committee proposes
TO put into law the ideas of a few SEN
ators and representatives as to how
newspapers should be edited and to out
law those which do not meet with their
views; and what might otherwise be
regarded as mere impertinence becomes
an attack ON the essential liberty of
the press; for if the postofIlce depart
ment can be given authority to say
what and how much fiction or maga-
zine matter newspaper may contain;
what and how many advertisements
may be printed and on what pages; and
what size and form each section Of the
newspaper shall be-as this bill pro-
vides-what is TO hinder the govern
ment from eXpurgating editorial criti-
cism and cartoons and indirectly sup
pressing any or all utterances of the
public press

THE NORTH wINps,s MASTERING

From the dark of the boreal seas.
From the midnight morn OF the pole.
To the sands of your Southland ieas.
Where sweltering cities roll:
From the still of the Caves of the Cold
To the resonant marches of men,
BY the wind that runs, 1 summon my
sons
To the arm of the north again.
To the ships of the scurrying main,
Where the stern wheels southwark
thrum,
To the lands of the Sun and the Rain,
On the wings of the dark come;
And never thy love- nor the lure
OF thy fame shall make thee free,
For sail or soul, at my rallying roll,
Must turn to the north with me.
Ye have fathomed the fines OF the east
And the reach of the west ye know,
And the wlds of the earth, as the beast.
Ye have tanned to the whip and the
hoe;
But the breath of my pitiless plains
Ye have faced--Ye have failed of the
goal;
And the drums OF the north, they shall
summon ye forth,
Till We win to the prize OF the Pole!

HIGH SCHOOL GOSSIP

Although Los Angeles high school
will not formally end the term till Fri
day of this week for the two senior
classes, the years work is practically
over. Tomorrow and Tuesday the for-
malities of study will be continued, but
Wednesday the class exercises of the
senior B class will be held at the Be
lasco theater and the pupils will be ex-
cused to attend the festivities. The
day following the senior AS will pre-
sent Janice Meredith at the Burbank,
and again the young people Will be
freed from their studies Friday, the
last day of the term, the reports Will
be given out and the first half OF the
school year will be over.
Athletics at high school are suffering
from a temporary lull, incidental to
the close of the term. Jerseys when
were ordered for the football team sew
eral months ago have recently arrived
from the east and the team will meet
once more before Friday to have its
picture taken.
Among the new athletic equipment
purchased by the student body is q
hollow pole for Theodore Phel~, the
schools pole vaulter. The lead shot
used last year has lost weight and
new one had to be bought
The halls of the school are decorated
with the pennants and banners won by
the various activities last year and
the years before. Conspicuous among
them is a blue and white silk flag for
the womens basketball championship
Of Southern California.
The forensic activities of high school
during the past five months have more
than kept pace with the athletics. De-
baters representing tie high school
have won several victories, but the
contest to enter the finals will come in
March, when Los Angeles high will
meet Pasadena in an interscholastic
debate. A new method of marking is
now in vogue, by which Poly recently
won from Throop by one-sixth of a
point During the coming term the in
terscholastic oratorical contest will
also take place, giving the schools
orators an opportunity to shine.
