TO RENT HIS BUILDING
snocial to The Herald.

Special TO The Herald
LONG BEACH, March 1.-R. p.
Fisher has made the executive commit
tee of the chamber of commerce busi-
ness proposition to tempt the organiza-
ton to rent the second story of his
building on the pier as permanent
headquarters.
on the front of the building there is
an advertising board containing fifty
nine spaces which Fisher says the
chamber of commerce could rent to bus
mess men for SO monthly, This would
bring in yearly revenue Of $2100 The
rent for the hall, signboard and all,
would be but 5000 year. Thus, Fisher
figures, the organization could clear
$500 annually which could be used to
good advantage in advertising the city.

HEARD AROUND

RooSEVELT'S CLOSE FRIEND
TALKS ABOUT THIRD TERM
BY THE EAVEsDRCPPER

Quietly spending his honeymoon at
Hotel Wentworth, Pasadena, is Presi-
dent Nicholas M. Butler of Columbia
university, benedict of week.
Mr.. Butler is one of President
Roosevelt's friends and when seen yes
terday after a vain attempt to plead
ignorance on affairs concerning the
United States and the chief executive,
he made some definite statements, ap-
plauding the stand taken by San Fran
cisco on the Japanese question and de-
nying that President Roosevelt will ac-
cept third term in the presidential
chair.
Mr.. Butler stated that the nations
chief had already declined the third
term and that settled it. AS for San
Francisco and the little brown man he
refused to consider the case as parallel
with the negro and the southerner.
The negro, he stated, was 5000, 900
strong-the Japanese but few the
races, too, were as different as possible
to make them. He decried the policy
Of allowing the adult Japanese to at
tend the public school with American
children. Arrangements should be
made to avoid that possibility. He
also stated that the San Francisco of
ficials showed themselves to be diplo-
mats when they went to Washington
and settled the Japanese question.
Mr.. Butler advanced the conclusion
that of the two prominently mentioned
for the presidency, Taft and Root, Mr..
Root will get the offer of the Republi-
can nomination. He gave as his reason
the fact that Mr.. Taft has his eye on
the judgeship.
Mr.. Butler has attained considera BILE
fame as an importer of German meth
ods of tutorage and also in the stand
he recently took in cutting athletics out
of Columbia university for a period
of two years.

GRE1T PSYCHOLOGICAL DISCOVERY.

1 GREAT PSYCHOLOGICAL DISCOVERY.
One Of our contemporaries whose heart beats
like a triphammer for the ''peepul' has made
an astounding discovery which will bring dol
lars and disciples to the Psychical Researchers.
Speaking knowingly of one Mr. Baer, sporad-
lcally known TO fame The New York Ameri-
can observes that "Baer personally. is not an
Important individual but Baer as head Of the
Coal Trust, president of a great railroad com
'pany and presumably spokesman for other
railway companies is a different person.
once again, then, the fancies of fiction writer's
have proved TO be realities Bulwer imagined
radium, Bellamy the telharmOnium and Steven
son the mysterious double personality the
Jekyll- Hyde duality, which, according TO mod
crn scientific observations made upon Mr.. Baer,
turks presumably in every mothers son of us.
After the first shivery feeling is over GER
tain satisfaction enSues. We cannot but re
ioce TO know that none Of the men Landed as
geniuses in the past are greater than ourselves.
Goethe personally a pretty poor stick,
although as the author Of Faust he was a
very different individual Shakespeare, too,
was an awful chump personally, but a wizard
when it came to writing dramas. Napoleon
was personally a persoufed zero although as
n general and ruler of men lie cut considera-
BILE figure. In short personally. all men are
equal but with respect merely to their achieve
ments, education, position, wealth and other in
significant superficialities they show striking
differences The discovery that these mper-
sOnai aspects do not reflect in any degree orr
personality is most consoling, indeed. 1t suf-
fuses us with the warm conviction that per
sonally we are just as well fitted to run the
universe as any other power is

MALLocK ON SOCIALISM.

From The Brooklyn Eagle.
Tho series of lectures which ". IT. Mallock Is
delivering ut Columbia on Socialism, ought 10
AFFORD a wholesome tonic American thought.
Mr.. Maock admits frankly that there has been
decided trend toward the acceptance OF socialism
on the part of educated men. and he thinks sees
tho reason. He finds that I'm tho failure OF
the earlier political economists to carry their deni
lions far enough Those economists taught that
wealth is the product OF labor. and since the days
of Mil the socialists and their sympathiZeTs have
calmly assumed that labor means only physical
toll; in the statement OF TolStoY, that the only
laborer is the with the hardened palms. This
assumption is quite mistaken Is that OF the
labor Unions that they represent all the labor in
the country. To meet that assumption. Mr.. Nal
lock PROPOSES n further scientific examination OF
production 10 learn lust the proportion contributed
by it's constituent elements and the logical and
ethical interest of each in its product. II
Mr. Maock substitutes logic for sentimentallsm in
the discussion of the share to which 'labor-in the
restricted sense in which the word has come 70
stand for political issue in this country-is en-
titled. he viii do a great and far reaching service.
