Dreams of Lifetime Realized.

Boone Feb 2S.-John NJ. Brainard
secretary of the Ericsson library board
of this city. also curator for the Eric
son library historical department, and
special friend of Curator Charles AID
rich of the state historical department,
is about to have the dreams of life
time at last realized. Mr. Brainard is
one of the up-to-da library man of
the state. For years he was editor of
the Aegis, of Story county, later edited
the Boone Standard during its palmy
days. and is perhaps one of the best
known educators and publishers in the
state. He has long wanted to secure
a greater cooperation between the
townships of the various Iowa counties
and the libraries located in the county
seats, or other towns, so far as that
goes. He interested Senator c. ]. A.
Ericsson, of this city. in the measure
some years ago, with the result that
a law was enacted. which provided for
the extension of the privileges of a city
library to the country districts. upon
equitable terms. arranged by a joint
meeting of the boards of library and
of ownership trustees. He has there
fore called a meeting of the Ericsson
library board of this city, and the
trustees of Des Moines Jackson and
Worth townships for March 18th. to
take UP his proposition. He thinks
that the people of the country districts
will be glad to cooperate in this work.
after being shown just what returns
they get--tl1e privileges of the library
as accorded to the people of the in
corporated city This meeting will be
watched with interest. and the results
noted by all persons interested in Ii
brary work in this state. This is
practically the first movement in the
state Of this character.

Young women,s Affair

So many people have the impression
that all the entertainments given by
the Young Women's Christian assoc
citation are strictly feminine affairs
that it is sometimes difficult to get
the men to believe they win be well
come even when they are specially in
vited. A reception will be given on
New Years day by the members, to
which the general public is ivited, and
it is hoped that as many men as
women will attend. The affair will be
in the afternoon and evening, and two.
of the association orchestras will play
throughout the receiving hours and
program will be given in the audito-
rum. Miss Elizabeth Yoder will read
from Van Dykes Last Word" and
other features are being arranged. A
large reception committee. composed
of the social committee of the assoc
ciation and half dozen members from
each of the clubs. will do the honors.

SCHOOLS

VIZ nth extreme regret friends OF
w education in Los Angeles-that
is to say, friends of the best
interests of this city-see the orderly
progress OF the greatest of all public
works again interrupted by official con-
troversies. What we, the public, are
mainly interested in is whether we
are to get a square deal for our chill
dren, whether proper school accommo-
dations are to be provided, whether
salaries sufficient to attract good teach
ing talent and enough of it will be Of
fered. We believe the public is AL
WAYS willing to pay for a good edu-
cational service. We believe as a rule
the value of education is recognized.
We also think, since there is an urgent
necessity for more school accommoda-
tions, it might be wisdom's part to
provide the funds necessary for the
education of the children of Los An
geles, and when that vital matter is
assured THEN, if need be, conduct an
investigation into the resources and
the financiering of the board of edu-
cation.
More school rooms are needed. Pro-
vide the schoolrooms. Then, If there is
to be financial controversy let us
have it, and let those engaged in the
debate thresh it out so thoroughly that
public business will never again be in-
terrupted by historical references. OF
course the public is entitled to know
all the facts with regard to education,
but 1t is on the very face Of 1t contrary
to public policy to ''hold up any
measures proposed for facilitating ed
ucation in Los Angeles. Here are we,
the taxpayers and the parents, the re-
sponsible citizens OF Los Angeles. Here
are our children. Give them their
American rights-schools and school
masters. And if officials are bent on
squabbling let them squabble later on,
when it won't interfere with the edu-
cation of our boys and girls.

SAYS NATURE HAS MIND
SAME AS AN INDIVIDUAL

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2S.--CEditor
Herald: Charming Severance, under
date of Dec. "a, asks: where they see
anything in the universe to indicate
that nature has a mind in the same
sense we do as Individuals"
1t must be conceded that all nature is
law-governed, that all phenomena and
all acts, whether mental or material.
are the results of operations of natural
laws, of which there is no exception.
Obedience to law implies knowledge, in
telligence. All nature obeys her laws.
Therefore all nature is intelligent, and
has mind. The implication is correct.
One illustration.
There Is a natural law, which may be
called the law of unity, working thus:
Wherever, whenever and however ma
ture does a thing she never contravenes
herself. AS, one and one makes two,
water runs down hill, and so on. Find
q fact and you never find its contraven-
ton. What is true in one part of the
universe must be true in all parts of
the universe, else there would be chaos
instead of cosmos.
1t is a fact that mind is a property of
NATTER as Mr.. Severance says. Then,
why not of all matter? Where will the
line be drawn? If one particle of mat
ter be intelligent, then all particles of
matter must be intelligent, else the law
OF unity fails, but natural laws never
fail. Therefore, the intelligence Of all
matter constitutes the universal mind.
The intelligence of the rock is not of
the same degree as that of the plant or
animal, even as the intelligence of ami
mails is not equal, but it is the same in
kind. In this sense nature has a mind

SAN PEDRO HARBoR

N ENATOR PERKINS, who is CHAIR
man OF the subcommittee on for
~ tifcations and ordnance, says he
will insist that enough money be al
lowed to protect both San Pedro and
san Diego, The protection Of San Pc
dro is of vital importance to Los An
geles and Southern California.
That there should ever be necessity
for making use of the Notifications is
as improbable as anything that may be
imagined; at the same time every one
knows that no harbor is complete I'M
less it can guarantee to shipping reas-
onable protection. not only from stress
81 wind or wave, but from possible at
tack by hostile fleets bent on destruc-
lion. San Pedro will increase con-
stant1y in value. Even a tyro can ap-
preciate its strategic importance, and
every naval nation in the world is well
aware Of It.
Even although we are reasonably
certain no one will ever attempt to
burglarize house. we put good lock
ana bolt on tie door. San Pedro is
tic front doorAof Los Angeles. Put a
good lock and Jolt on it.

THOUSANDS OF CALIF0RNIANS
OFFER PROTEST
MEETINGS ARE HELD IN OVER
THIRTY CITIES
"Rate Day" on Coast Brings Out Tree
mendous Complaint at Pur-
posed Advance in Freight
Prices

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30.-With
the adoption of resolutions declaring
the proposed increase of transconti-
mental freight rates to be unjust and
a discrimination against California
shippers both importers and exporters,
rate day. was observed throughout
the state today by enthusiastic mass
meetings in over thirty cities and
towns.
Thousands of shippers, small inde-
pendent dealers as well as the largo
companies with widespread connee-
tons, Joined in giving voice to unani-
nous protest against what is termed
the exaction of an unjust and un-
reasonable tax from the industries OF
this state.
The new rates, which become effec-
tive January l, 1909, were prepared by
the transcontinental freight bureau,
which is composed of representatives
of all roads doing business to and
from the state, and it is estimated by
the shippers the new figures will mean
an increase of $4,000, 900 annually.
In this city the executive committee
which was appointed at the great mass
meeting of shippers on December
and which has had charge of the work
Of organizing the shippers in a COM
bined and far-reaching protest, met
today and adopted resolutions which
are exactly similar to those presented
to each of the other mass meetings.

sIcIL1AN vEsPERs

m HE horror in Europe may be inter-
preted as a fair warming to man
Il kind to cease from maniacal at
tempts to destroy the race by inventing
war engines. OF late years Providence
has enlarged the scope OF human activ-
tiles to an extent undreamed by our
forefathers. Blessings have been show
cred on the little being who is pre-
dominant among created things that
have the breath of life. His intelligence
has been quickened to a marvellous de-
gree. Some of his inventions have been
almost miraculous. To what use has
the wonderful progress of the human
race been put? The rich have been
growing richer, the poor poorer. Man
and to cap the climax of terrifying and
blasphemous perversion of Providential
gifts every new discovery, every ad-
vance in science, has been considered
first and foremost with relation to its
war making and destructive properties.
AS soon as inventive science gives tho
world the use of a new force men ask
feverishly. How can we use this in or
der to destroy our fellow men? And
nature, in one terrible and resentful
convulsive movement shows how death
may be dealt on a scale which makes
mankinds most ambitious efforts n
murder paltry and Insignificant "If
We will have slaughter, slaughter We
shall have" says Providence, and the
talk about armies, fleets and airships
is suddenly interrupted by the most
colossal cataclysm of all time.
The fleets Of the world.are engaged in
carrying aid to Italy. That is better
business than target practice. One good
deed is worth all the great guns ever
perfected. The deadliest of all earth
quakes has made a farce of war and
war preparations. 1t should be many
a long day before silly war lords and
stupid jingoes again begin to brag of
the superiority of warships, the de-
structive possibilities of airships and
the invincibility of armies. Profound
and lasting peace among men should
follow the new Sicilian vespers.

DEMOCRACY

REPUBLICAN, newspaper says:

~ Mr.. Taft" and adds, That's the
Aeanest thing that has ever been said
about golf" According to an un-Amer-
.ican school Of thought and Of writing,
(which is unhappily gaining ground In
the United States, anything that is
democratic is mean. If you would be
respected by writer's who represent this
school, you must be plutocratic, auto
cratic. bureaucratic, or any kind of
cratic but democratic. In the bright
lexicon OF the trustophiles there is no
such word as democracy, consequently
the adjective democratic is impossible.

since democracy is to go out of
fashion, what do you propose to give
us in exchange for it? OF course if

will have nothing more to say. Can

JUSTICE

WI HEN justice deals en-handedly
w with all offenders, great and
small, rich and poor, the sta
bility of the nation will be assured
and its progress toward a more and
more perfect condition will be certain.
1t is only when the broad laws which
govern all conduct and all morals are
interrupted in especial cases and for
exceptional purposes that even an OPP
timist may begin to ask whether
what had been believed to be the man
ifest destiny Of a great and mighty
nation might not be a manifest mirage.
The only disagreeable feature about
the sentence of Ruef is that it should
have excited any surprised comment.
The immediate conviction and the as
sured punishment of the guilty ought
to be among the commonplace of our
civilization. The law should be so de-
fined as to meet the approval of all
reasonable men. In order to make for
the reign of righteousness and equity
every law should be of such a nature
that il may be enforced without pro-
test and every law should be enforced.
There should be no more graft scan
dals in any part of the United States.
Any corporation or individual guilty
of using or attempting to use money
IN order to influence or effect Iegisla-
ton should be treated, not merely as
a common criminal of the most dam
gerous type, but an enemy of the re-
public. With the new year let the
nation turn over a new leaf.

sonal friends of his. We trust and be-
heve that he has the grace to regret
having made some of these appoint
ments which have not reflected honor
upon his administration and which ex-
perience shows to have been unwise and
injurious to the best interests Of the
city as well as to his own reputation.
He has also shown consideration for
the interests of the city and a proper
respect to the opinions of its best citi-
zens by making some excellent appoint
ments.
We trust that his appointment of a
member to the board of public works,
when made, will be such that it may
be accepted by the best sentiment of
the city as being evidence of his single
ness of purpose to do that which is to
the interest of the city, and at the same
time will reflect credit upon his admin
istration as It's chief executive.

If anybody thinks race track gamb-
ling is all right, let him reflect on what
would happen to any man holding a
responsible position who was found to
be a frequenter of race tracks. Would
it be the fact that horses ran races
that would bring him into trouble?
Or would it be the fact that bets are
made on the races? Let us be honest
about this matter. Why bubble?
