CHINA

UHE West Coast Magazine is con-
graduated on having secured
Il from DR.. Wei-Chung W. Yen,
second secretary of the Imperial Chi
nese legation, what seems to be an
authoritative article on the relations Of
the United States and China. If we
choose to be alarmed over the awaken
ing of China, the following passage
will nourish our fears. Even if we
are not alarmed or alarmsts, it will
give food for thought:
"The doctrine of the survival of the
fittest is on the lips of every thinking
Chinese, and its grim significance is
not lost on a nation that seems to be
the center of the struggle in the far
east. Western knowledge is being alb
sorbed by our young men at home or
abroad at rapid rate and the MEN
TAI POWER of a large part of four
hundred millions of people, formerly
concentrated on the Confucian classics,
is being turned in a new direction, the
study of the civilization of the west"
Being an Oriental, Wei-Chung rea-
Lies and appreciates the psychology
of the Chinese question. He must
laugh up his long sleeve when he sees
e great and powerful nation becoming
alarmed over the material aspects of
the Chinese awakening. He knows that
China never viii bully or smash us
into an inferior place, But he also
knows full we'll that by the diversion
of their mentality into new channels
of force, the Chinese may THINK us
into an inferior place. 1t is amazing
TO behold the lengths to which our
Occidental materialism is carrying US.
We have not yet found out what cleo
tricity is, excepting that PERHAPS
it is the most refined form of ma
terial energy, that which most closely
approximates spiritual And already
with this puzzle unsolved we are in
the beginning of the aeronautic age
which, as far as human reason may
discern, is the ultimate of material
development, beyond which matter as
d form Of applied force cannot go.
When bygone civilizations have
reached the ultimate of their possi-
bilitles of material development, what
has happened? The pyramids of Egypt
tell us. The silence Of the Sphinx is
eloquent on the subject. The cuneiform
inscriptions Of Babylon tell us.
Chinese civilization, being moral and
not material, has outlived all the ma
terial civilizations Of the past,
simplicity o. living, patience under
suffering, industry, contentment and
an optimistic persistence in ones un-
dertaking and the power to endure are
some Of the virtues which have made
Chinese civilization so stable and so
venerable. Then there is the devotion
TO and worship of letters, politeness
toward all, respect for and obedience to
the law. and last, but not least, the
love for peace and tranquility. IT,
therefore, China is poor in mechani-
cal appliances and scientific knowl-
edge, she may be wealthy in these
virtues, which add to the happiness
and quality Of the life that is lived"

ROYAL ORATORY

7 T cannot have escaped the attention
of newspaper readers that King
h Edwards popularity has been in
creased greatly, and one Of the results
of this has been a demand for public
speeches by him. Oratory is a novelty
in the history of royalty. Edward s
speeches are not bumptous, like those
of his German relative, but extremely
plain and very practical Take by way
of Illustration the following extracts
from Edwards recent addresses:
Al trust that the commission ap-
pointed by me to consider the best
mehod of utilizing the waterways Of
this country viii point the way by
which the means of water transit which
lie ready at your door may be most
fully employed, and that the CONNER
cial activity of your city will thereby
be increased"
Radicals have good reason for saying
that if the kingdom should be trans
formed into a republic in the lifetime
of King Edward he would probably be
candidate for president, and in all
likelihood would be elected.

KING OF ELKs

n WAL candidates for the position
n, of grand exalted ruler of the
~ Elks are dividing the attention
of the members of the big herd, who,
as they arrive in Los Angeles, make
two remarks.
The first is a plain statement of
fact. 1t is:
"Well, there's only one Los Angeles
Didn't think there was as fine a city
as yours this side of kingdom come"
The second is either of two questions:
whats the outlook for Sammis?" or
TITS walkover for Garry Hermann,
isn't it?"
Garry is the plucky Elk who has
been heard to say he would be will
ing to spend fortune to be elected
grand exalted ruler
Sammis is the plucky Elk who is
confident more lodges have declared
themselves in his favor than have ever
indorsed any other candidate for grand
exalted ruler.
When there is more than one Rich
mcnd in the field, when two such splen-
ulQ CndpS as Hermann ana SamlnlS
are both "out for" the same honor, it
makes the non-partisan "rooter" for
the Elks wish both could be success
full. In fact, it reduces the average
citizen to the state of mind that once
embarrassed a Scotch king called
Jamie, who had a high opinion of his
own wisdom, and determined he would
sit on the supreme court bench and
show the judges how to administer
justice.
He listened to cause" with great
care, took copious notes, paid close
attention to the argument, first of the
brilliant counsel for the plaintiff, then
of the brilliant counsel for the de-
fendant.
The solemn hush in the courtroom
while the awed principals and onlook-
ers awaited the judgment of Solomon
was broken by the perplexed voice Of
his majesty exclamiing:
Dell tax the carles (fellows)
They're BATH RIGHT"

MAN QUOTES BIBLE AS
AUTHORITY FOR WRONG

LOS ANGELES. July -[Editor
Herald: Man is a born tyrant he
would enslave all creatures of the uni
verse. When confronted with ms
crimes he points to the Bible and says;
"There is my authority. There IS my
authority to slaughter, MAIN, enslave,
yoke, chain, abuse"
In looking over the history of the
world one cannot help coming to this
conclusion that the white man be-
lieves the Bible his weapon to invade
and to destroy. The Bible is generally
but a cover for the sword of the white
man, as Japan and China have Just
learned. other nations march with
the sword in plain sight, but not the
white man. Other nations enslaVe thelr
women openly; the white man uses the
Bible. Other nations (called heathen)

Secretary Meyer wishes commoners
to address one of the cabinet officials
as the Honorable the Secretary of
War" There was a time when such
an order or suggestion would have
caused riots in various parts Of the
United States. OF course, all officials
are worthy of honor. But as soon as
a formal style is tagged on to an of
ficiars name and INSISTED ON, that
formal style becomes the equivalent Of
title. So perhaps the Honorable
Uncle Sam won't relish the secretarial
Journalism.

SPORTS

A DMIRABLE in every respect is the
u Elks' week sport schedule, which
"A was begun Saturday in most ex-
cellent style with the Santa Monica
automobile race and the Pacific coast
amateur swimming championships, was
continued yesterday with the swim
ming championships, and presents to-
day the first of a series of daily pro-
grams unequaled in the sport history
of the United States.
EIks will have an opportunity of wit
Messing the amateur eighteen-mile race
for championship of the Pacific coast,
the Pacific Athletic association cham
pionship track and field meet, the first
day of Albert Schock's siX-day race on
a bicycle against twenty running horses
and an amateur wrestling tournament
for championship of the Pacific coast.
Each days program is equally good,
and guests will have ample opportunity
of healthy outdoor amusement. The
Elks are prepared to find in Los An
geles the finest outdoor climate in the
world. Already they have made many
comments on the agreeable mildness of
our summer weather, which, by the
way, is perhaps hardly appreciated by
stav-at-home citizens. An excursion
to the fiery furnace or boiling humidity
religions would convince chronic An
gelenos they have the finest summer
resort in the world as well as the best
winter resort. We believe the Elks will
enjoy the outdoor delights of the week
and will appreciate the enthusiasm
with which citizens of this metropolis
saw life is REALLY worth living in
loyelv Los Angeles.

TEMPERANCE

( WELL known and reliable trade
u paper, the American Grocer, has
"A been at pains to collect facts and
statistics relating to temperance and
the sale of spirituous and malt liquors.
Hard times helped the cause of tenn
perance. In one year the average per
capita consumption of alcoholic bever-
ages was cut down 0.53 gallon, and be-
levers in temperance are expressing
the hope it may mark a beginning of
a reform which will be continued until
the per capita use of liquors falls from
the maximum of 23.54 gallons in 1904
to the 14.65 of twenty years ago.
The total number of gallons of beer
consumed was the highest on record,
but the increase in population was
great enough to reduce its use per
capita from 21.3 to 20.97 gallons. At
that rate it will take over eighty years
to wipe out the beer habit The per cap
ita use of spirits was the lowest since
1902, and 019 gallon below 1907. This
rate of decrease would close all the
distilleries in less than eight years.
Close observers, however, say a con-
dition which would be agreeable to pro-
hibitionists is out of the question on
account of our methods of raising rev.
enue. THE conviction grows" declares
one authority, that the liquor question
is one of morals and not of law. 1t
is apparent that rum and tariff are the
two chief sources of Uncle Sans rev.
enue large part of which is spent
in providing an army and navy as an
additional destructive force to that of
alcoholic drinks" The showing is a
sad commentary on the principles of
Christianity and the progress of civ
ilizatiOn.

In making political prophecies, it is
best to obey the Roman advice and
make haste slowly. At the same time
indications are that an increase in the
price of shoes, which will follow the
protection" of the leather trust branch
of the hide trust branch of the beef
trust will result in a national kick
which will send the grand old protec-
tionists out of office. Think of the
children who may have to go bare
footed in eastern winter weather as a
result of this precious tariff revision!'
Outrageous, isn't it?

FOOD AND HEALTH.

as she does in worrying about their
ailments she would be happier and
her children would be in better
health" an eminent physician said
recently.
PLENTY Of fresh air, plenty Of
fruit and vegetables, soup, cooked
oatmeal and the like should form the
staples in every child's diet. Good
fresh eggs and milk are always de-
sirable, but meat, greasily cooked
foods and heavy desserts should
never be allowed. In the effort to
digest these things in youth the
stomach is often ruined for all time.
Mothers should encourage their chill
dren to talk and laugh during meal
times. This consumes time and
proves a valuable aid to digestion.

ONE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE
And DR.. Wiley's Ability TO Name II
Got Him Out of Tight
Situation.

When the National Biscuit Ba-
kers' association met in annual CON
vention at Atlantic City last sum
mer, DR.. Wiley, head of the pure
food commission, came on from
Washington to address ane of the
principal sessions. His attitude
toward yiolators of the food laws
was well known to the delegates,
who, however, pressed him with
questions as to the quality Of goods
that could legally be offered for sale
to the public. The commissioner
parried the thrusts of the biscuit
bakers with his ready wit.
The discussion ran into stale
cakes and biscuits. In the south, it
was stated, it is practically impos-
sible to keep bakery products for
any length Of time free from weevils,
and such stuff is said to be disposed
OF by selllng IL TO the negroes at
cheap prices. Was this right2 DR..
Wiley was in quandary. The com
mission could not interfere when the
goods were not shipped from one
state to another and to express his
own views on the matter might get
him into a needless tangle. He
thought rapidly; he would be diplo-
matte.
