East African Religious Ceremony.

Recently a strange ceremony wa,
performed at Changamwe, East AfrL
ca. to bring rain. A house-to-houss
visit was made among the natives By
a self-appointed committee who col
Iected from each hut the sum OF two
annas. With the total thus COLLECTED
an OK was purchased. A processios
was then formed, in which all the
available children took part. After
the procession had proceeded around
the district for period of two hourS
the OK was sacrificed, prayers from
the Koran being sang by the children.
The meat of the OK was then boiled
in pots by adult participators and
given to the children to eat until the
whole was consumed. The bones and
remaining offal of the carcass were
later put in a sack, carefully carried
to the sea and thrown into deep water.
Circumstantially rain fell for a few
hours on the succeeding day.

Few Old Facts.

A historian recalls the fact that in
Mr.. Lincolns speech to the notification
committee at Springfield there were
139 words, and in his former letter of
acceptance there were 134 words. In
his speech of acceptance to the COM
mittee in Washington in 1864 there are
1876 words and in his letter of accept
ance there are 200 words. But let US
remember that there were no type
writer's in those days, and such thing
as photograph had not been dreamed
of.

TURBINES

ITO the disappointment and conster-
nation of several governments,
\ some steamship companies and a
few financiers, turbines have not full
filled expectations. The Cunard COM
pany is far from satisfied with the per-
formances of Lusitania and Muare-
tania. Their speed has not averaged
up to anything like what was ex-
pected and predicted, and it may be
doubted whether, in comparison with
smaller and less costly vessels. they
are worth all the money that has
been expended on them. The British
admiralty is not satisfied that the big
vessels have come up to the standard.
This will have an important bearing in
the future on the Dreadnought class Of
ships. Every day we hear of evidences
of the fact that the new school of
marine and naval architecture is in
great measure experimental. 1t is re-
that from time to time ex-
pertinent should be so costly.

UNDERWRITERS

TN August the annual meeting of the
National Underwriters association
Il will be held in Los Angeles. Five
hundred insurance men from all parts
of the United States will assemble here
to discuss matters pertinent to their
calling. 1t is important the city should
be on its good behavior when the dele
gates are here. If Los Angeles pro-
duces a good impression on them 1t
may mean a good deal to our citizens,
especially in the business district
Many impressions with regard to Los
Angeles that are prevalent in eastern
insurance circles are mot So" For in
stance, we hope the eastern insurance
men will realize, and remember and
tell their offices and friends back east,
that Los Angeles is NOT a kind of
suburb of San Francisco and that it
is NOT in what is called the earth
quake belt. To citizens who have spent
all or the greater part of their lives in
California it is hard to realize that
eastern ideas as to this state are still
somewhat primitive. Our friends on
the Atlantic coast find it impossible to
realize the magnificent distances of our
big state. 1t is desirable that citizens
who have to deal with the pre-eminent-
ly practical, business aspects of life
should visit us, and we hope local
insurance men will not only take pains
to entertain the underwriters-We know
they will--but will also take pains to
send them home with revised, reformed
and accurate ideas about conditions in
California,

SOLUTION OF INDUSTRIAL
PROBLEM NOT THOUGHT OUT

Los ANGELES, June 7.-IEditor
Herald1: Having followed with much
interest the controversy between Mr..
Thomasson and his opponents, 1t seems
to me that the latter do not under
stand the fundamental objections that
men imbued with the Jeffersonian
faith have to their proposed program.
1t is felt strongly that such program
of necessity implies an industrial
army, acting under the orders of the
political managers who inevitably will
run the vast administrative systems
that 1t is proposed to put In operation.
1t is obvious that such systems must
be run on the majority principle, and it
is feared that this will put the rebel
lious individual-the man who, for good
or bad reasons, refuses to toe the or
thodox mark-at the absolute mercy
of the will of the majority, or, in act
ual practice, what the managers may
declare that will to be.
Surely 1t is possible for thoughtful
men to be utterly discontented with
the manner in which things are run to-
day, and yet, in their very wish to
secure full freedom FOR every man and
woman, hesitate at a remedy that may
prove worse than the disease. For if
the individual is to become the slave
of huge social apparatus, admins
tered on the majority principle, it may
turn out that we shall be under q
government worse than that which we
now complain of. The workings of uni
versal suffrage hitherto have not been
such as to inspire investigators with
answering confidence.
Moreover, if the Socialists. when
they get into the saddle, are to domi-
neer over all those who venture to
differ from them-witness the recent
treatment of Mr.. Riddle-it is inevi-
table that many will feel seriously
alarmed at the prospect of their live
lihood being at the mercy of people
with such very decided ideas. They
may we'll think that they would get
all the hard end of the industrial army
work and that, perhaps. they would be
lucky If they got a job at all.
Such people are apt to say that a
better solution of the social problem
has yet to be thought out.
