GENEROSITY

IT OS ANGELES is entitled to great
credit for it's generous and IMME-
- date response to a request for
funds for the relief of Italian earth
quake sufferers. Our warm-hearted
citizens are always quick to respond to
any appeals for help fer the unfor-
tupate, as The Herald has good
reason to remember. The promptness
and the abundance of the generosity
with which citizens answered our plea
for money and provisions by which a
good Christmas dinner could be assured
to the children of parents in unfor-
tunate circumstances in Los Angeles
was memorable, and deserves to be
marked with a white stone in the
philanthropic history of our noble city.
Now, again, with great pleasure, we
are able to call attention to the human
loving kindness of our citizens, who
have already sent $4,000 for the relief
of the Italian earthquake sufferers,
with the assurance that several thou
sand dollars more will be realized this
week from benefit performances and
subscriptions. With appreciation we
repeat the reported words of Luigi
DelP Orto, Italian consular agent. He
said: 1.-THE citizens Of Los Angeles haze
been very generous to US. Other cities
are without doubt showing the same
spirit OF liberality that is manifest
here, but none of them can surpass this
city in promptness of action and deter
mination to do all in it's power to re-
lieve suffering
An old proverb-far older than our
civilization, far older than the Ian
guage into which we translate it-says:
Twice he gives who promptly gives. -
The philosophy of this is as true today
as it was twenty-five centuries ago.
Prompt giving doubles the efficiency Of
gift. Our citizens deserve praise not
only for the sums of money con-
tributed, but for the cheerful readiness
with which they have made their con-
tributionsS Los Angeles believes in
practical Christianity.

DESCRIBES IMMORTALITY AS
LACK OF SELF-DISCIPLINE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9.-[Editor
Herald: immortality is defined by "A
Young Man" as the vindication of d
real law. This is very good defini-
ton. and it covers a great deal. I'm
morality consists of a lack of self-dis-
cipline in men and tvomen, pertaining
to both the small things and serious
things Of life. Little sins and big sins
both arise from weakness Of will, and
this is the violation of the real law
The real law says: BE a ruler of
yourself and the closer we keep to
this law, the more human we are and
less like the brute creation. Where
does the real law come from?
The creator, the God Of Nature" or
whatever you may call the guiding
force of the universe, has given us
each this claw and written it upon
our souls. Another word for it is
conscience" which we all have, until
we have destroyed it by disobedience
to its commands, when we become
nearer the lower animals, who have no
guiding principle Of right and wrong
When we fail to become the man or
woman physically, mentally and psy-
chologically) that the Creator intended
us to be, we have broken the real
law" VERA FIDELIA.

RATES GOUGE

by THE report of the interstate
n commerce commission issued yes
~ terday, the last possible excuse
for the railroad rates gouge has been
jolted out of its place, and nothing
remains to prop up the structure of
the rates advance but the nerve Of the
advancers. The report says the gross
earnings of the railroads for 1908, al
though 1854, GAL less than for 1907,
which was an exceptional year, the
banner year in American railroad his
tory, were $98,S75, 40 in excess of gross
earnings for 1906 and $342, 15S, 231 in ex-
cess of those for 1905. The net earn
ings for 1908, although Sill, O51, 006 less
than for 1907, and $59,439,1 SS less than
those for 1906, were $37, $780, in excess
of those for 1905.
The report says. bluntly: "These fig
ures indicate that the railroads of the
country did NOT suffer so severely in
comparison with the years of normal
traffic and business conditions as may
have been supposed The report adds
that a continuing business depression
could not be held to justify the main
tenance of particular rates which are
unreasonable or unduly discriminatory,
since the right to equal treatment at
reasonable rates does not depend upon
the financial condition of the carrier
The report puts the rates gouge Of the
railroads in a worse light than ever
It does not appear that the ''magnates"
even had legitimately and truthfully
the excuse with which they sought to
convince California of the justice of
the advance. Californians, naturally
enough, object to paying for losses in
Cured by the railroads in other parts
Of the country, but a review of the fig
ures shows clearly the railroad man
ayers were trying to befool the public
by instituting unfair comparisons be-
tween last years earnings and those of
a bumper year. Even if they had not
practiced this easily detected and ex-
posed guile, the question might yet be
asked, why should the railroads ex-
pect the west to pay for losses sus-
tanned by them in the east?
1t should be reassuring to the bust

CHARTER AMENDMENTS

az GREAT Importance to Los An
geles, both in relation to present
conditions and to the future, is
the charter amendment election which
will be held February 2. The Herald
has already called attention to several
features of this election, among them
the provision intended to bring about
municipal reform by the elimination
from municipal elections of the worst
features of partisan politics. The pro-
posed charter amendments are thirty
one in number, and the subjects dealt
with are Of vital interest to the citi-
zens of Los Angeles.
All voters should familiarize them
selves with the amendments, which as
rule are plainly worded, and may be
understood easily by citizens who have
not had legal training or experience.
In voting on the charter amendments
our readers should be guided by only
one consideration-good citizenship
and the question by which the merits
of the proposed amendments may be
determined would simply ask, els this
for the greatest good of the greatest
number of the citizens of Los Ange-
les?"
A charter amendment election in the
experience of the average voter comes
nearer home than perhaps any other,
because by "the result of the election
local conditions will be affected, and
the influence of the verdict of Febru-
airy will be demonstrated in the life
of the city.

COMPARES EDITORS THEORY
WITH HIS ACTUAL PRACTICE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10-The moral
uplift is on us, and William Randolph
Hearst is it's prophet. With the dis
play appropriate to the gravity Of the
subject the Examiner, in its editorial
of January 9, calls on Los Angeles to
try, for just one fortnight, the expert
ment of Giving as Christ. would have
lived"
With fevered anxiety I bought the
Examiner this morning to greet the
illustration of the sermon-a paper as
Christ would have edited it-and I
found:
Vividly colored-red predominating-
representation of the ''siren" for whom
Lieutenant Ullmo sold his country
naval secrets; profusely illustrated
page devoted to "Only six of them
left" giving full details Of the British
earls still in the matrimonial market;
page with deliciously realistic photo
graphs, given to the lady who swims in
tights and has danced Salome before
King Edward; some three, pages of
court tittle-tattle and scandal, mostly
from England; Bishop Webb's cure for
divorce, with pictures of ladies in light
attire: "Jilted doctor sues widow for
$3.50, 000;" pretty stenOgrapher's hus-
band Of day wanted for passing bad
check" Thinks wife under hypnotist' S
power" and about an acre of similar
stuff too tedious to give in detail, or
for me personally to wade through.
We live and learn. had not thought
Christ would be that sort of an editor.

SAYS QUAKE RESULT OF GAS
AT WEAK PLACES IN EARTH

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11.-TEditor
HERALD: The cause for earthquakes
seems to be mooted question. and
scientists have given many agencies
1or these terrible disturbances in the
eartns crust. 1t is noticeable that
nearly all earthquakes are near the
ocean. The San Francisco, Valparaiso
Jamaica and the more recent disasters
OF Messina and Reggie are contiguous
to the ocean.
1t is also noticeable that mountains
are formed near the ocean, by its tire
Lhendous pressure, which makes it the
weakest spot in the earth's crust.
1t has been estimated by the increas-
ing degrees of heat that the crust Of
the earth should be about TWENTY-FIVE
miles, and if that estimate is correct,
the comparative shell of the earth
would be 1-160th of it's diameter, Ieav-
ing 1850 miles of supposed molten mat
ter within
In comparing this with an egg whose
smell IS one-fftieth of its diameter. we
md the earth's shell is three one-ffths
times thinner, comparatively, than the
smell is to an egg, or about as thick
as the skin of an egg.
Is it to be wondered that when gases
are formed in the earth's interior, from
ocean leakage or otherwise, that this
thin shell must be disturbed at the
weakest point, which would naturally
be near the ocean?
William A. Spalding stated in a lee
ture before the Academy of Sciences
that the equinoxes Of three Of our
planets would cause disturbances on
the earth, during the years 1907-S-9,
which has seemed to be prophetic.
The jumping over from one pole of
the earth to the other of the earth's
magnetism, we knoW produces violent
storms, and the changes on our mon
ster planets no doubt would affect the
magnetism of the earth.
We need not expect that Los Angeles
will be troubled with more than an oc-
casional tremor. G. MAJOR TABER.

PLEADS FOR SYMPATHY FOR
THREE IMPRISONED MEXIcANS

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 8.-[Editor
Herald1:, The people Of these United
States with one accord say "Amen" to
the 100000 appropriation for the re-
lief of the sufferers in stricken Italy.
Even the starving, half clothed, pow
erty-stricken American citizens, made
so by no fault of their own, join in
the universal amen. Why? Because
one touch of nature, it is said, makes
all the world kin.
This saying, like many others, is
only partly true. The ghouls who mu-
tilate the bodies of the dead and rob
the helpless living in the midst of such
calamities as these are a part of the
world, yet no touch of nature seems
to arouse the least spark of humane
feeling in them.
G. c., in yesterdays Letter Box, asks
what kind of civilization produces these
ghouls. With shame we must confess
they are a part of the product of what
we seemingly are pleased to call Chris
tian civilization. In this particular in
stance these things occurred among a
people who for more than a thousand
years have been known as a Christian
people, constantly under the rule and
tutelage Of the church, the oldest and
most powerful church in the whole
world. -
We need not ask, Is Italy civilized?
Press reports from the scene of the
disaster tell the story. Yet some of
the high and mighty leaders in Amer
lea would if possible force this kind
of civilization on the American peo-
pie. Will they accept it? On the sur
face, signs would indicate eyes"
But faith in mankind and the ulti-
mate triumph of truth say emphati-
cally MOP Only time will tell. Think
of it, Christians of Los Angeles. Are
you teaching and practicing what
Christ taught and practiced? Has a
single Christian man or woman in Los
Angeles raised his voice against the
illegal Imprisonment of the three Mexi-
can patriots in our city Jail, deprived
Of their liberty yet charged with no
crime? Even the press is silent in this
land of the free and the home of the
brave. Sometimes we wonder are we
far removed from savagery. American
patriots, are these things nothing to
you? T. J. POLLARD.
