BUILDING RECORD

II OS ANGELES is steadily keeping
ahead of all its own wonderful
IA records of building activity and
dollar mark in building values was ex-
ceeded by nearly 100000. At the rate
Of material growth at which Los An
geIes is travelling soon it will be in
every respect. as it is already in most
respects, the leading and metropolitan
city Of the Pacific coast.
Everybody wishes to come to Los
Angeles. People in all parts of the
United States are contented to plod
along or drudge for weary years if as
a reward of their industry they can
see in Los Angeles a home, 'all their
own" And the rapid growth Of in
dustrialsm is attracting thousands of
people who are finding and will find
opportunity here for working at lucra-
tive employments. Los Angeles is a
city for everybody" for the wage
Garner as well as for the capitalist.
Prosperity is always attractive, and
the remarkable prosperity of Los An
geles doubtless brings many new
chums" to contribute to that pros
perity, But when to general prosperity
there is added a superb, health giving,
life-inspiring climate, it is easy to see
why the name of Los Angeles is not
only zone to conjure with" but is ir-
resistibla.

CHRISTIANITY

n NE of our correspondents is seri-
ously concerned about the gene
" alogy of Jesus, as contained in the
gospel Of Matthew. He is greatly ex-
ercised over the fact that the genealogy
is traced in the male line, as if Joseph
were the father and not the guardian
Of Jesus. The New Testament writer's
distinctly record the fact that Jesus
was reckoned as being of the household
and family OF Joseph, and we fail to
see any relevancy of the question of
genealogy to a question Of Christian
doctrine and life.
It must be nearly two thousand years
since this question of genealogy was
first brought up. 1t either puzzled or
annoyed Pauls protege. Timothy, to
whom Paul wrote a letter which we
commend to the attention Of our friend.
In this letter Paul said:
"Neither give heed to endless geneal-
ogies which minister questions rather
than godly edifying which is in faith
The end Of the commandment is LOVE
out of a pure heart, and of a good con-
science and of faith unfeigned; from
which some having swerved have
turned aside unto VAIN JANGLING "
The teachings of Jesus, which form
the basis of the Christian religion, and
if accepted and obeyed would give US
the millennium, are of vastly greater
Importance than genealogies OF systems
Of theology, or any other "ology."
In the same book (Matthew) in which
our friend complains that the genealogy
Of Jesus is traced on the male line,
through his foster father and guardian,
Joseph, we find the following:
Eye have heard that it hath been
said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and
hate thine enemy; but I say unto you,
love your enemies, bless them that
curse you, do good to them that hate
you, and pray for them which de-
spitefully use you, and prosecute you;
that We may be the children of your
Father which is in heaven: for he maxi
eth his sun to rise on the evil and on
the good, and sendeth rain on the just
and on the unjust. For if we love them
which love you, what reward have We?
Do not even the publicans the same
And if you salute your brethren only
what do ye more than others? Do not
even the publicans so? Be We there
fore perfect, even as your Father in
heaven is perfect"
That is of much more Importance
than what Paul called "profane and
vain babblings"

HELP!

TROM the Thanksgiving season it is
easy to look ahead to Christmas
n tide. The Los Angeles society
for the prevention Of tuberculosis,
which maintains a helping station and
dispensary for poor consumptives at
797 Buena Vista street and by its Wig
ilance protects the people Of this city,
asks YOU to lend a hand in it's
merciful work. This YOU can easily do
at small expenditure and without any
trouble. The California greeting and
Merry Christmas stamps of the society
are for sale by generous merchants
everywhere, and the secretary at
24O Bradbury building, VIII fiji all or
ders that may be sent in by others
who wish to engage in this work.
Those stamps cost 1 cent apiece.
Remember that many a little maks
a muckle and that if everybody will
use a few of these stamps in mailing
Christmas packages the resultant sum
that will be available for the work of
fighting the white plague win be very
large.
The Red Cross stamp system is a
splendid method of helping an excel
lent cause, and we hope and believe
that from this city there will go to all
parts of the civilized world many
thousands of these little messengers of
peace and good will, carrying Califor-
MIA greetings for a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.

HISTORY CITED IN PROOF
OF MANS FREEDOM OF WILL


LOS ANGELES, Nov. 24.-[Editor
Herald: The signal and appalling
proof OF the freedom of mans will,
which "F. Il. S." denies, is that man 50
often has consented to be enslaved. The
ancient Jews had every reason In their
heroic heredity and prosperous environ
ment to be content with a theocratic
government, yet they desired a king.
To be sure they were surrounded by
foes, but they had conquered them.
Their voluntary enslavement to
monarch followed a cessation of hos
tilitles. They were free from external
strife, but not from the anarchy OF
their own turbulent Wills. Modern sys-
TENS of philosophy. for all their scien-
tihc confidence, have left the modern
man In a very similar dilemma. IF. f.
s." knows that he has a WILL He does
not think that It is free. He has not
given 1t chance to be. His philosophy. 4
has taught him that every man is
slave to heredity and environment
Eplctetus was slave in most respec
to both, according to the philosophy ],
IF. f. s." Yet In the depths of h
enslavement this undaunted Roma
calmly and fearlessly asserted his spi
ltual liberty, somewhat as the Chri
ton martyrs defied an environment q
burning fagots and heredity of paga.a
fatalism to vindicate their faith.
Men are doing the same today, de-
spite the shackles of philosophy
which logically would forbid them to
stir hand or foot to better a supposed
ly remorseless environment or master
an irrevocable heredity. The tolerant
tone of the last letter of "F. f. S."
unconsciously reveals that in his inner
life he cherlshes a certain defiance of
the restraints of his materialistic phil
osophy. Perhaps he wants to be free
from all doctrines and theories which
he finds difficult to maintain from thes
viewpoint of materialism. He begins
by freely willing to free himself from
the doctrine and theory of free will.
l have never been able to act on thS
theory that my will was not free, al
though l once tried Intellectually to be-
lieve 1t. AS a philosophical eclectic, I
have held myself free to choose and
reject what has seemed true or false
to me in any and every mans theory
In the free practice of this essentially
individualistic philosophy, I one day
discovered that the orthodox Christian
religion not only explained every mys-
terry that other systems of thought
tailed to comprehend. but that II also
had the divine audacity 70 explain IT.
self, and yet to concede my freedom OF
will to accept or reject it. As an
eclectic who was as willing to believe,
as to reject, | accepted 1t because
had convinced me. 1t has FIRE,

ticular
Coerced, he says. by his environl
ment, IF. f. 81 believes that couragd
is matter of ancestry and training ;
or at least is "in" mana highly un-
scientific expression. His philosophy
does not tell him how or why It quite
ignores the fearlessness Of lunatics, the
heroism of slaves, the cheerfulness of
the sick. 1t Is a philosophy which can
humble man before the wonder OF the
universe, but 1t cannot permit his will
to be free to enjoy that wonder.

MARITIME INTERESTS

VIVID and earnest presentation
n of the facts with regard to Amer
"a lean mercantile maritime condi-
tions was made by Congressman Nc
Lachlan before the City club. Mr..
McLachlan, as a member of the rivers
and harbor committee and author of
the bill now pending to establish a
line Of ten steamers on the Pacific
coast to ply between Puget sound and
the Panama canal, is in a position to
speak authoritatively on this subject.
AS a matter of grim fact, general
conditions at present are such that
most determined effort will have to
be made by all who are familiar with
them to effect changes, improvements
and reforms that will restore to the
high sea the American flag.
Mr.. McLachlan pointed out that our
nation spends from $18,000,000 to $780,
900, 900 every year for improvements of
harbors and rivers, and yet there are
practically no American ships to use
them when completed.
There are only eleven American
register ships, FIVE on the Atlantic and
six on the Pacific, engaged in our for
eign trade, while Striking, nay APP
palling contrastD the United King
dom has 1000,
Every year foreign ships receive $780,
900, 900 to carry American products to
foreign lands.
The following illuminating instance
illustrating the condition which con-
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-28

fronts men anxious for the maritime
development of this coast and this ma
ton was given by Mr.. McLachlan:
THE United States government now
operates six steamers from New York
to the Panama canal. 1 took passage
in one of those steamers which car
ried 100 passengers and 5000 tons OF
freight. AS soon as I got aboard
asked what the cargo consisted of, and
was told that by far the biggest part OF
1t were products of the Pacific coast
states. These goods were shipped
across the country on the transconti-
mental railroads and then loaded into
government-owned vessels to be trans
ported to Panama. WITH A LINE OF
GOVERNMENT STEAMERS ON
THIS COAST THEY WOULD HAVE
BEEN TRANSPORTED DIRECT. I
came back on the same steamer out
In place of 5000 tons of freight we had
only 300 tons, one-tenth the amount
we had taken to Panama. The YES
sci required 800 tons to be properly pal
lasted and in order to make up the dlr-
ference they had gone out along the line
of the canal and picked up 6OO tons
of old iron, parts of machinery LETT
there by the French when they tried
to cut a canal.
IF WE HAD A GOVERNMENT
OWNED LINE OF STEAMERS ON
THE PACIFIC COAST, the cargoes
discharged at Panama could have
been shipped to New York and the
vessel gone back laden with proper
cargo"
Mr.. McLachlan reminded his hearers
and the public of the great obligation
of the people of the Pacific coast to
former President Roosevelt by recall
ing the fact It was not until that
strenuous and patriotic American be-
came president proper canal legisla-
ton was secured.
ut was the influence Of the trans
continental railroads that defeated inc
bill repeatedly in the senate" said MT
McI,achlan. ut was only natural that
the railroads should oppose the canal
for men engaged in the transconti-
mental transportation business must
look to the interests Of their stoekhold-
ers. and It appealed to them that cut
ting off 5000 miles of waterway between
the Atlantic and Pacific ports "ouio

eral of Los Angeles women greet the

public and demanded for us the ballot,

votedly
All we need is a leader such as T. H.
must be to write so fearlessly on this
subject, when he knows nearly every
man is against him, although none
have dared to write one word in an
swer to his three articles. Why has
no man lifted up a protest? They
know T. II. Is right, and we dare any
man to deny the truth of his accusa-
lions or our right to vote.
There will soon be "revolt of
women" such as has been referred to
in novel already in regard to house.
work, and if needs be a further revolt,
farther reaching and of more import
ance to the men-"No ballot, no we'd

Now that we have a self-declared
leader ready, we ask: Are you ready,
sisters, to come out and make stand
for your rights. for the sake of your
selves and your posterity?
The present is pregnant with burning
questions, but none of more Importance
than woman's equality with man in
a political service.

get In line and stand up for women.
