HABITS

BROTHER and sister at Long
IN Beach tasted forty days. This
II demonstrates clearly the power
of mind over matter. If they Lad been
shipwrecked, or shut up in wrecked
mine, or tyrannically imprisoned. they
could not have survived the ordeal of
fasting. But conscious that they could
at any time end the fast, and that
at the end of forty days they would
resume a regular habit of living, they
are not any the worse for their ex-
perience, and, on the contrary, claim
it helped them physically and mem
tally. There is nothing more extraor-
binary than the power of mind over
matter. If mankind could acquire alb
solute control of this wonderful power
a man would be his own master. To-
day, even in land of freedom, we are
all slaves to habits-food habits. sleep
habits. Most of us would not care to
lose those habits, because in our opin-
ion the loss would deprive life OF much
of what makes it worth living.
The saying that a man who will not
work must not be allowed to eat would
have no terror for anyone who had
successfully overcome the food habit
1t strikes us that mankind without its
habits, bad or good, would be insipid
to the verge of nonentity, and in all
probability would soon cease to exist

HERALD'S CHRISTMAS

N VERY day of early December is a
H. reminder that Christmas is COM
- ing, with its annual revival of
good will among men. This year the
genial tutelary saint, who would be
referred to by the Japanese School Boy
as Hon. Santa Claus, has selected The
Herald to be his steward at big chill
dren's festival to be held in the Y. M.
@. A. building in Los Angeles. In order
that the festival may be democratical-
Iy popular and that citizens may take
an interest in it, The Herald has in
vited its readers to unite with it in
providing Christmas cheer for the boys
and girls of this city. We thank heart
lily the friends who have volunteered
to join the forces of the Christmas
saint under the banner of The Herald.
We think it is understood, but would
repeat 1t for the sake of making assur-
ance doubly sure, that this is not
meant to be an occasion in which few
people are to initiate certain great and
good professional philanthropists by
appropriating all the delight Of giving.
We hold that giving, especially to
causes as worthy as The Herald's
Christmas festival, is delight.
Everybody who contributes money,
supplies or gifts to the Christmas festi-
val will enjoy his home festival all the
more because he has added to the hap
piness of boys and girls of Los Angeles
outside Of those who are in his house
hold or his circle of relationship and
friendship.
Remember, this is DECEMBER, and
time flies, AS a philosophical humor-
list remarked: 1t is habit time has.
For the sake of The Herald's staff OF
workers, who might almost be over
whelmed if there was great final rush
of donations and subscriptions, we ask
our friends to announce their gifts as
soon as possible. We wish to be able
to look ahead and make all the neces-
sary arrangements without hurry or
furry. We promise the children
bully good" Christmas festival, and
we know many of our readers are anx-
ious to help the cause and thereby
share the fun.

compensation for certain privileges re-
ceived is restricted to such earnings as
will afford a reasonable income on the
investment, including fair profit IN
compensation for risk. That income
and more the Hartman lines are now
receiving; and if other lines inter
ested are not, it is their misfortune"
Thev must all compete with the lines
which can do the business at least
cost. There is a studied effort to con-
fuse the public mind by showing, as
it can be shown, that the net revenues
of the railroads of the country have
been seriously impaired by the in
crease of expenses and falling off in
traffic. That has nothing to do with
the case. AS the lawyers say, it is
incompetent, immaterial and irrele-
want" All that we have to consider
is the Hartman lines. and their state
ments to possible buyers of their Sc
curites show prosperity which is ac-
tually phenomenal. The west has not
suffered by the depression as the east
has suffered, and the Hartman lines
have lost only by not gaining so rap
idly as was hoped for.
The increase should be and doubtless
will be resisted before the interstate
commerce commission. In that hear
Ing consumers ought to be represented
and may be if they will organize and
employ counsel. Probably they will
not, but it is competent for our state
railroad Commission, as representing
consumers, to take part in the con-
test, and it should be done.

GOOD TIDINGs

MT OF for many a year. has Yule-
tide message been given to the
~ world that is as delightfully."-
Christmas like, filed not only with
the spirit but the promise of peace and
good will, as the message conveyed in
the plain news statement: Secretary Of
State, Elihu Root on behalf of the
United States and I<agoro Takahira,
ambassador, on behalf of Japan, ex-
changed diplomatic notes, defining the
policy of the two governments in the
far east. The exchange Of notes is
based on the idea of encouraging and
defending free and peaceful commercial
development in the Pacific"
The third great power in the Pacific
is the Australaslan branch of the
British empire, and America has the
most definite assurances of the friend
ship of Australasia. AS Australia and
New Zealand have given plain warning
to the United Kingdom that the in
terests of America, Australia and New
Zealand in the Pacific are identical, the
acquiescence of the British ministry IN
the peace of the Pacific would be as
sured, even if the good will of London
could be doubted.
But we believe it is beyond reason
able doubt that the British government
is at present more concerned about the
Cancellation and retention of the far
flung empire, with an eye perhaps to
ultimate federation, than it is to assert
ing or claiming grievances or annexing
territory. Solidifcation is to be the
aim during the next few years of the
nations which have interests in COM
mon and use the same language.
With the peace of the Pacific guaran-
teed, every country which has Pacific
shore line will be helped. Commerce
will be increased, and long before the
| completion Of the Panama canal the
harbor Of San Pedro will become one OF
the most important commercially, as II
is one of the most important strategic
| ally.

n RGANIZED opposition to the pro-
posed increase of freight rates on
the transcontinental railroads is
developing in all parts of the state.
An increase of 10 cents per 100 pounds.
for example, seems trivial, and it is
trivial when only 100 pounds is con-
sidered. But on a carload of fifteen
tons it is $50 and on one of twenty
tons it is $40, and that difference is
quite sufficient to greatly limit the
area within which many important
California products can be marketed.
Gamers say that it prohibits the sale
of California canned tomatoes in dis
tricts which they have hitherto sup
piled The producers of beans make
the same statement, and our tanners
declare that their market for hides
will be greatly curtailed. On the other
hand, the increase in a great number
of westbound commodities will be a
heavy tax, part Of which will be shift
ed to consumers and some of which
will be felt by jobbing houses as a
handicap to their trade. In some cases
the westbound increase affects COM
modities which enter into manufacture
on this coast and will seriously impair
our ability to compete in the markets
for their products, says the san Fran
cisco Chronicle.
The objection to the increase is that
it is an unjust and unnecessary tax on
the community. If unnecessary, it is
certainly unjust, because railroad prop
erty is dedicated to public use and IN

GAMBLING

T oS ANGELES presents a queer
spectacle to the world by reason
- of the city councils action in
passing an ordinance excepting from
the provisions of the law against dice
shaking "any game for merchandise
only or in any regularly established
place of business" We presume it Is
well known there are regularly estab-
lished places of business in New York
and nearer home where gambling is
conducted with the approval of the au-
thorities. An artist with a gift of sar-
castle humor might make a hit by
publishing a picture representing a
boys crap shooting" game on the
steps of the stock exchange. Attempts
to suppress gambling in the United
States have only been partially sue
cessful because of the universal ten
dency TO make fish of one species of
gambling, flesh of a second and fowl of
a third.
Dice shaking is now legalized in Los
Angeles. Advocates of the gambling
ordinance said men who shake dice
are usually men of wealth. Why this
should be regarded as an excuse for
gambling is puzzling. Are men of
wealth above the restrictions which
govern the common herd? We are
hearing altogether too much about
"men of wealth" in the United States.
We do not believe it is the part of
good citizenship to attack honestly ac-
quired wealth. A man is entitled to
the reward Of industry and thrift.
But when a place is made for a
species of gambling on the ground it
is the pastime OF men of wealth, then
set the danger signals, for-the very lib
critics of the republic are menaced. We
hope the police will not absentmindedly
raid boys and poor men for gambling
In public places. We do not think
gambling in public places or any places
is right, but since the council has as
serted the right Of men of wealth to
gamble, we submit that the right of
poor men to gamble has also been as
serted by our brilliant, patriotic. high
minded bulwark of public morality and
civic progress. the city council Of Los
Angeles.

BIGGY MYSTERY

KT EITHER Edgar Allan Poe nor
~ Robert Louis Stevenson could have
~ invented a plot which would have
outdone the reality which is being UNI
folded and developed at San Francisco.
A mere recital of the various incidents
which have kept that amazing city ION
the ragged edge between hysteria and
excitement ever since the fire would
read like fantastic novel, 1t is almost
impossible to realize that Chief Buggy
has disappeared from the troubled
scene. 1t is said he was lost from the
police launch while returning from a
visit to police commissioner. But not
until the launch was almost at the
wharf did the engineer discover that
his important passenger was, not on
board 1t is most extraordinary story.
If Chief Buggy committed suicide how
did he manage to jump overheard with
out attracting the attention of the en-
gineer? A police launch is SO small
that the man who is operating the en-
CINE and steering should be conscious of
everything that is going on aboard I'M
less he is in trance or a big storm
is raging. The disappearance Of Buggy,
following the alleged suicide of Haas
and the attempted assassination of
Heney, makes a logical train Of criminal
events rather than a chapter of acct
dents. The suspicious aroused by what
has happened in San Francisco since
the murder of Heney was attempted
may well be pardoned. They are ma

SAYS SOCIETY MUST HAVE
WAY TO DECIDE QUESTIONS

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29.-[Editor
Herald: Those writer's in the Letter
Box" who oppose collectivism because
it is in favor of the majority deciding
mooted questions, are putting tnem-
selves in a preposterous position.
Society must have some method OF
deciding differences. Otherwise we
would be taking a long step back
ward. Each individual, If there were
no laws or rules, would endeavor to
right his own wrongs-real or fancled'
others would line up with one or the
other of the combatants. ana thaL
would mean internecine warfare.
But why waste any more time on
this? We passed through TINS stage
thousands of years ago. Society must
and will have some method Of settling
internal disputes. The ballot is the
enlightened method. That is the So
cialist method. To again revert to
brute force to settle such questions IS
atavistic.
To say that everyone would do right
without laws or restrictions Is a dream.
Undoubtedly 1t is a dream that viii
some day come true. But is 1t not mad
ness to believe that society will sud
denly awake from the nightmare OF
capitalism, a perfect society? No, no;
it will take more than one generation
In the meantime, either a minority or
the majority must decide where de-
cision becomes necessary. And we be-
lieye it should be the majority, not be-
cause it is infallible, but because no

SAYS SIMILAR RULES DO NOT
APPLY TO MEN AND WOMEN

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30.-[Editor
Herald: 1t seems to me a deplorable
and mischievous fact that, almost with
out exception, the women reformers
who enter on q discussion of the social
evil refuse to face facts. A gentleman,
whom 1 happen to know as being
scientific author of really distinguished
attachments, recently wrote short
letter to the Box in which he set out
the old story of the woman whom
the populace was about to stone, recit-
ing it as a plea for kindlier thought.
1t brought bitter reply along the lines
OF an inquiry why it was that then, as
usual, the woman that was to suffer.
Who, L ask, are the most bitter
against the woman who, as the phrase
runs, has gone wrong? No one in
his or her senses can reply otherwise
than 1.-THE women"
Why? Doubtless there are other col
lateral reasons, but the main one is
that women are far more conscious
than are men of the great basic dis
tinction of sex on which the entire
scheme of nature rests. And, there
fore, they are keenly alive to the fact
that the rules for the two sexes are not,
never have been, and probably never
will be uniform.
The difference can be illustrated very
simply, and in way that, l think, no
mother will dispute. take the case
of an affectionate and dutiful mother
who has a grown son and daughter
She learns that her son has visited the
redlight district, and then she hears
that her daughter is also known in the
same haunts. Does she feel equal grief
in each case, and if not why not?
The question answers itself to any
one who has even the crudest ac-
ouaintance with anatomy. T. K. G.

A UTOMOBILE accidents are increas-
n ing throughout the United States.
- AT a recent meeting of the
National Association of Automobiles
it was recommended that automobile
owners should join in a movement to
suppress scorching.
The New York Sun recently pub
lished a report made by the New York
Central Railroad company. 1t showed
that recklessness is the rule, except in
New York City,, where the police are
Vigilant and where arrests for speed
ing are frequent
One of the things characteristic of
San Francisco and other cities of this
state is the terrific speed at which
automobiles turn corners, and skim
along crowded thoroughfares. The
query as to the limit of speed allowed
by law remains unanswered as far as
actual demonstration is concerned, says
the Sacramento Union.
Newspapers, almost daily, portray
scenes of accidents enacted in the city
by automobiles that whirl through
residence sections, unmindful of obsta-
Giles that are prone to present them
selves at inopportune moments-henee
collision, disaster, and death follow in
the wake of those auto-maniacs who
defy the laws of man, and who invite
