with the following eloquent plea:
Here is our great task; here is
our opportunity. Shall we accept
it, or must God choose some other
race? Are we to go down to obliv-

so many other nations have done?
Or shall we accept the task and be
leaders in deed as we'll as in word ?
Let US 60 forth and labor to His

Wherein They Differed.

DR.. Emily Blackwell, one of the pio-

young physician deliver fierce dia-

profession to women. When he ceased,
she asked:
"Will you please tell me one reason
why they should not practice medi-
cine?"
Certainly. madam. They haven't

his weird falsehoods returned recently
to his home in Nottingham, England;
from abroad and gave a party in hon.

them during the course Of the evening
of the wonderful things he had seen
during his travels. Speaking of
churches in Spain, he said there was
one "a mile and half long," "Bless
my heart" said a person present who
knew better. "And how broad was
it?'' "About ten yards" replied the
traveller. Whereupon the questioner

zes. And last there was a ball
game between the ministers and
the laity. Revs., D. DIS, and Ph.
DIS were thrown to the winds and
it was Evans, short stop; Wilson,
Sd baseman, etc. 1t was a good
game too, in spite Of the fact that
good-sized punching bag was used
for ball. Even at that, some of
them fanned-but not the minist-
ers. AS usual they put it all over
the laity, at least up to the fifth

coming within one. Of tying the
score. AS it was, the final score
was 8 to 9 in favor Of the minist-

WOMAN MISTAKES
POET FOR A LONG
LOST SWEETHEART
Well Known Los Angeles Writer Suf-
fers at Hands Of Indignant Kan
sas Female, but at Last
Escapes

An inoffensive citizen made his way
Saturday through the throngs to be
found daily along Broadway AS he
was passing the entrance to one of the
big department stores an irate woman
sprang out, jostled the pedestrians right
and left and grasped the man by his
coat collar. How dare you, how dare
you, you brazen flirt!" she screamed.
The two were soon surrounded by n
hundred curious persons. The face of
each member of the throng wore an
expectant look, and the natural desire
to take a woman's side of an argument
without question was only withheld
from verbal expression by the look of
establishment on the mans face.
''Wh-why, madam" he exclaimed
"Wh-what's the trouble?"
That's right" cried the woman
whose voice was pitched in high key
deny your identity, George Herbert"
the woman released her vicelike grip
upon the coat her prisoner saw no out
let of escape
Madam" he said, controlling his
voice as much as possible, II never saw
you before in my life.'
"Oh, you liar!" she screamed; II sup
pose you'll deny promising to marry
me- L ohPpOoO JOu II oCiiy bhdb JOus
Evidently her vocabulary lacked the
necessary epithet, for she stopped long
enough to give her captive another OPP
portunity to speak.
Marry you, why, madam, I have a
wife and children now and"
But he was not allowed to finish, as
she brought a silk parasol down close
to his head and number of the spec
tators became enthusiastically approx
ing in their actions.
A large muscular man caught the
feminine weapon as 1t was about to
descend a second time.
Whats the matter, Blum?" he
asked
well, that's what I'd like to know.
I don't know this"
Don't you dare lie like that!'
shrieked the woman.
Madam, who do you think this man
is?" asked his rescuer.
Hes George Herbert, who promised
to marry me in Kansas year ago and
I've come all the way to Los Angeles
to find him. He's disguised his voice,
but I know him."
It was with some difficulty the
woman was persuaded mistake had
been made and that the man she be-
lieved to be her recreat lover was in
reality Isaac Blum, well known In
fraternal circles in Los Angeles, for
merly business man of San Francisco
and Portland, Ore, and who has made
some reputation as writer of verse.
well, he looks a great deal like
George said the woman, without
apology, and evidently offended be-
cause of the resemblance.
The crowd scattered as she made her
way back to the store entrance, at
which vantage point she again placed
herself, determination written on her
countenance.

LONG BEACH JINKS

r ONG BEACH reports that its jan
uary experiences have been thrill
- ling. 1t has had water spout,
tyrhoon and a cyclone--all to itself, for
certainly none of these phenomena was
discernible in Los Angeles The cyclone
was especially successful. 1t seized a
tarn and carried it 100 feet in the air.
If we were in Kansas sense of our
duty would compel us to add that when
the barn was picked up it was filled with
cattle munching hay, and that when 1t
was set down the cattle were still
munching hay in the barn. However,
since this is truthful California, where
President Roosevelt's vestpocket, two

THE CITY JAIL

IN HE sanitary conditions in the city
Jail have been altered for the
- worse within the last few days.
Prisoners have been taken daily from
the tanks to the receiving hospital in u
state of physical collapse. One victim
is said to have contracted a fever re-
sembling typhoid. Two others have
the grip, with fever. Jailer McCauley
is opposed to the plan of adding new
floors to the tanks. He says that it
will make conditions worse. A relief
dormitory should be built without de-
lay. One OF the public parks has been
suggested as a site for such dorml-
tory. Experts say that the dormitory
plan is much preferable to that of the
stockade would have to be guarded and
might be the cause of more or less
melodramatic attempts on the part OF
prisoners to escape. No one yearns for
any theatrical business" to aggravate
the jail scandal. 1t might be better to
leave bad enough alone than to create
a condition which might add gun play
and other unpleasant and possibly
tragical features. There will be no diff
flculty in obtaining a site for new
jail The only difficulty will be in
selecting one out of the large number
offered. Well begun is half done, and
we may agree that the Jail problem is
in a fair way of being solved if the
authorities will proceed WITHOUT
DELAY to sanction the building of the
dormitory and will refrain from any
further Entertainments on the over
taxed supply of fresh air in the prison.
To put new floors in the tanks will use
UP more of the available air, and the
result will be that the Jail will be more
like 1.-THE Black Hole than ever.
A sick prisoner has made the state
ment that the TRUSTEES show favoritism.
There are only dozen cots for sixty
prisoners, and it is alleged that the
rule first come, first served" is not
followed by the TRUSTEES who are in
command of the cots, but that they give
them to friends and to prisoners who
toady to them. AS human nature is
human nature, all the world over and in
1ail or out of it, IT is probable that
there is a foundation of truth in this
accusation and that a man who would
sleep on cot must curry favor with a
trusty. Thus one reprehensible condi-
ton creates another.

that Roosevelt always seemed Just to

ments. Which was in a measure true.
But he also led the nation to discover
them. Which was a splendid and
unique achievement.
Before Roosevelt there had been a
widespread feeling, fostered by the pre-
ceding administration, that the govern
mont was much more solicitous of the
millionaire than of the working man,
That belief was shattered by the North
ern Securities suit. From that time it
was apparent that the United States
would insist on obedience to law from
rich and poor alike Before Roosevelt
the great corporations had Stunned
publicity and had assumed that their
affairs were none of the public's bust
ness. In their dealings with each other
business men had striven without COM
junction for unfair advantages The
rebate, whether from the railroads, the
insurance companies or what not, was
claimed without a question.
The millennium has not come. But
there has begun fundamental trans
formation in the attitude of big bust
ness and of business men generally
expressed in such measures as the Hep
burn law--forced through by the pres
ident-and the pure-food statute. In an
address before the Knife and Fork club
of Kansas City few months ago JUS
tice Gaynor of New York ventured the
prediction that the future historian
would date the beginning of new
business era from the administration

SOCIETY ENTERTAINs WITH
BANQUET AND PROGRAM

The Normanna society of Los An
geles gave a banquet and winter en-
tertainment to it's members Saturday
night at Mammoth hall. SIT South
Broadway.
Practically the entire membership
was present. An elaborate program was
rendered, principally vocal and instru-
mental music, and several short adj
dresses were made by prominent mem
bers of the Norwegian colony.
The feature 1.-The entertainment was
the presentation of large and beau
tiful silk Norwegian flag by the women
of the auxiliary of this society to Nor
mama society, during the singing of
the Norwegian national air, amid the
lusty and enthusiastic applause of those
in attendance.
While this society carries no finan-
ciai benefits, it is power in itself and
does much good toward gathering to-
gether and holding people of this ma
tionality into one large family, and
extending helping hand wherever 1t
is needed.
There are quite number of Nor
wegians in this city. and that fact was
demonstrated by the large crowd that
assembled Saturday evening.
Dancing was INDUCED in until late
hour. Hereafter the society will meet
In Mammoth hall No. on the first
Saturday of each month. X, Lagro is

THE PROHIBITION WAVE
FLOODING THE COUNTRY

1t would slowly be convinced that there
was no way to fight the combination;
outraged, it would rise and destroy the
traffic. The liquor men have brought
the trouble on themselves"
We cite this national commentary be-
cause 1t furnishes complete corrobora-
ton of the North Americans explanaS
ton of the sentiment that not in Penn
sylvania alone nor in any one state or
section, but from border to border of
this country. is refusing to draw line
of demarcation between the law-abid-
ing liquor dealer, whose life and trade
have been decent, and the Stun trader
in the degradation of bodies and souls.
The wholesaler and the retailer of
beer and whisky who have kept their
dealings always within the law are be-
wildered. They see what is going on
around Them They read in the Jour-
nails of their trade such acknowledge
ments as this editorial, one in Bever-
ages, published in New York: 1--WE dis
like to acknowledge it, but we really
believe the entire business all over has
overstayed its opportunity to protect
itself against the onward march of
prohibition. Five years ago a
united industry might have kept back
the situation that now confronts us,
but today 1t is too late" And they
wonder why. They seek some special
cause for this great upheaval of an
tagonism.
Therein lies their error. No one thing
is responsible 1t is the gathering of
many rivulets into a flood. 1t is the
expression of cumulative sentiment. IT
is the elimination of ideas. observation,
experience and practical teachings that
have been accommodating throughout
past generations.-Philad North

GROWTH o. LOS ANGELES

DR. e. C. MOORE, superintendent
Of city schools, in an address be-
~ fore the City club, said that the
school business in Los Angeles should
be on a better basis. He pointed out
that there is a regular increase in
school population, but no regular way
of providing for it. The annual In
crease in school attendance recently
has been at the rate of ten per cent,
showing a rate Of increase in popula-
ton greater than that Of New York
city. IA man whose business increased
at the rate of ten per cent a year
would soon make plans to take care of
it," said DIR. Moore.
Under present conditions many chill
dren have to be satisfied with only a
part of a day in school instead of full
time. Since the annual increase in
attendance of pupils is about four
thousand, the annual building fund
should be not less than $25OoO0.
DR.. Moore's statements will not be
disputed by anybody. They come with
the force of authority. No time should
be lost in overtaking the educational
problem, which has apparently out
stripped everything and everybody in
Los Angeles. 1t is gratifying to civic
pride to learn that the unparalleled
growth of this city continues, and that
statements concerning this phenomenal
growth are not based on theory or OF
inclination, but on the situation that
is confronting those who are charged
with the duty of educating our citi,
zens OF tomorrow.

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
TROUBLES OF EMPIRE

WI E may he thankful that our for
w elgn estate is not big enough to
be a menace to the nation.
Even IL Germany girds at our. possess
sion of The Philippines and envies our
occupation OF Hawaii, she will take it
out in girdmg, especially when we
have q Iormida BILE navy in the Pacific.
Cur annexed di5trict'' beyond the seas
does not worry us, and we are in a
position to view with pleased interest
and with cons 'derable sympathy that
horrible ENHANCEMENT which the Brit
ish, with skiilful evasion of absolute
accuracy, call the Asiatic situation. 1t
is really ar Asiatic crisis. For the first
time since the Mutiny, the British en-
pire in India is menaced, and the mem
nee comes not from without, but from
within; not from Russia or some other
continental nation jealous of Britain's
possession OF the big treasure, but
from the Hindus themselves.
The new generation in Hindustan is,
as a rue, bright, alert and educated.
Many hindus can talk English as we'll
as they can talk the native language
cr dialect, and here, at the very out
set, they have an immense advantage
over tier masters, for few Britons
can talk Hin6ustani. They can hardly
be blamed for this neglect. Hindu
stan is not d solid country with only
one inhabited by only one people, al
though that is the common belief. 1t
is a little continent, inhabited by many
different tribes and nations, and with
almost as many languages and dia-
lects az there are in Europe. Lord

Bengal and nearly provoked an armed
rebellion, 10 compiling a book which
will be of equal Importance to Britons
and to Americans. 1t will deal with
the racial question between the Asiatic

This outcome of his attempt to gov

tion regarding Hindustan, dependent
upon the prolific pen of Rudyard Kip
ling, whoe1 testimony is apt to be
tainted or perhaps we would better
say scented, by a novelist's prejudice
in favor uf artistic aspects rather than
o. rock bottom details. In other words,
ii may be suspected that Mr.. Kipling
las avatio himself of his artists
privilege, and, as he was purveying to
the public readable romances, and not
blue books, he is to be praised rather
than blamed
But IL there any country on earth
which has been for so many years an
appendage of white civilization-an
outpost of Caucasian domination
about which 80 little is really and ac-
curately known as about India?
We are not even sure of the correct
rame. Sometimes we say Hindustan.
cometimes we drop the III and
shorten the word to India" The par
i.tion of Bengal was Curzon's crown
ing offense in the eyes of the Indians.
They retaliated at first with a boycott
against British goods. But that has
