BUILDING RECORD

Il OS ANGELES is steadily keeping
ahead of all it's own wonderful
IA records of building activity and
prosperity. In November the million
dollar mark in building values was ex-
ceeded by nearly 100000. At the rate
of material growth at which Los An
geles 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
dustrialism 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
cnums" to contribute to that pros
perity. But when to general prosperity
there is added a superb, health giving
ufe-inspirng climate, it is easy to see
why the name Of Los Angeles is not
only zone to conjure with" but is ir-

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
first brought up. 1t either puzzled or
annoyed Paurs 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-
ogles 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
il accepted and obeyed would give us
the millennium, are of vastly greater
Importance than genealogies or 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 1t hath been
said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and
hate thine enemy; but / say unto you
love your enemies, bless them thai
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 max
eth his sun to rise on the evil and or
the good, and sendeth rain on the just
and on the unjust. For if we love them
which love you, what reward have yei
Do not even the publicans the same
And if you salute your brethren only
what do ye more than others? Do moi
even the publicans so? Be We there
fore perfect, even as your Father II
heaven is perfect"
That Is of much more Importance
than what Paul called "profane anC
vain babblings"

MARITIME INTERESTS

A 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 thai
a 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 $1S,OOO,OOO to $780,
O0O 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

dom has 1000.
Every year foreign ships receive $780,

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. +. S." denies, is that man SO
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 a
monarch followed a cessation of hos
| ttlities. 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-
tifc confidence have left the modern
man In q very similar dilemma. "F. +.
s." knows that he has will. He does
not think that 1t is free. He has not
given 1t a chance to be. His philosophy, 4
has taught him that every man is
slave to heredity and environment
Epictetus was a slave in most respec
to both, according to the philosophy 81

enslavement this undaunted Romat
calmly and fearlessly asserted his spi
itual liberty, somewhat as the Chri
/ ton martyrs defied an environment Il
burning fagots and a heredity of paga.a
fatalsm to vindicate their faith.
Men are doing the same today, de-
| spite the shackles of a 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 cherishes 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 the
viewpoint of materialism. He begins
by freely willing to free himself from

freight. As soon as 1 got aboard I

ference they had gone out along the line
of the canal and picked up 500 tons
of old iron, parts of machinery left

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

Mr.. McLachlan reminded his hearers
and the public of the great obligation
of the people of the Pacific coast TO

"It was the influence of the trans

the railroads should oppose the CANAL

AND WANTS TO HEAR MORE

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2o.-[Editor
Herald: Referring to articles written
October 20 and November 10 from Elsi-
more and Los Angeles by T. H.: Sew
eral of Los Angeles women greet the
arrival of a man in our midst who is
willing to stand shoulder to shoulder
by us and help us win the battle for
the ballot.
We all have husbands, fathers or
brothers, but not one has come out in
public and demanded for us the ballot,
although protesting to love us de-
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. H. Is right, and we dare any
man to deny the truth of his accusa-
lions or our right to vote.
There will soon be a "revolt of
women" such as has been referred to
in a 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
ding BELLS"
Now that we have a self-declared
leader ready, we ask: Are you ready,
sisters, to come out and make a 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.
Let us hear further from r. H. and
any other man courageous enough to
get in line and stand up for women.
