Father Is Secretary of the Dean Drug

lowed Sons Marriage
to Actress

John Douglas, better known as Jack
Douglas, "a years old, son of Charles K.
Douglas, secretary Of the Dean Drug
company of Los Angeles, has fallen heir
to $4,000 under the terms of will left
by Col. G. H. Warfeld, for whom young
Douglas rode as a polo jockey. Douglas
is now a bellbOy at the ManX hotel, San
Francisco.
He became estranged from his pa
rents several years ago, after his mar
riage to Helen Sutherland, a beautiful
young actress, who later was divorced
from Douglas and committed suicide in
a hotel in this city last October, fol-
lowing a fit of melancholia caused by
disappointment in a love affair.
Douglas formerly was employed in
several stores in Los Angeles. A short
time ago he resigned his position. as a
clerk with Broadway department
store, and went to San Francisco.
While Douglas was riding for Colonel
Warfield the latter became greatly at
tached to the young fellow, and when
he left his service remarked: II won't
forget you, my boy. Some day 1 may
do something for you"
Douglas was busy answering bells in
the San Francisco hotel when he re-
ceived a communication from a New
York firm notifying him of the fortune
left him.
Douglas says he will resign his pres
ent position and travel in Europe.

Thirty seven prisoners arrested on
charges of drunkenness Saturday after
noon and night, gave three rousing
cheers for George Washington when
they were released from the city Jail
yesterday morning SO they might be at
liberty on the anniversary Of the

The rule of allowing persons ar

years ago and all persons arrested for

the holiday provided they are sober.

night were released Sunday morning.
Those who were arrested for drunk
up to midnight last night or later and
are sober this morning will be turned
loose.
Yesterday when the men answered to
their names they were taken to the jail
door and released. Hardly one of them
knew why the jailers were so kind, but
accepted the kindness with mingled
thanks and wonderment.
Several stood around after they had
received their property, waiting for
someone to explain the cause of their
release. Finally one man could stand
it no longer. He approached the desk
sergeant and asked in heSitating
manner: Say, officer, will you please
tell me why we were allowed to go?"
Sure" replied the sergeant. Mon
day is Washington's birthday and we
want to give you fellows a chance to
celebrate it in fitting manner
George Washington is all right -
said the erstwhile prisoner. He quickly
told the others and at the suggestion
of one Of the thirty varieties of drunks
the men raised their voices and gave
three lusty cheers for George Wash

went their way in an orderly manner.

CRITIClSES CIVILIZATION
FOR GROSS ABSURDITIES
Fellowship Minister Condemns Undue
Veneration for Authority and
Wastes of Liquor Traffic

''Some Absurdities of Our Modern
Civilization" was the subject of an ad-
dress by Reynold E. Blight, minister OF
the Los Angeles Fellowship at Blan-
chard hall, yesterday morning. He said
in part:
Each phase of civilization is an i'm
aging of an idea, and all the material
creations are symbols of that idea. This
accounts for the differences between
one civilization and another. The in
stitutions, customs, manners and laws
Of the ancient Hebrew civilization were
the symbols of its root idea, which was
righteousness.
''The eager search for truth was the
moving idea of the civilization Of the
Renaissance, and formed the beginning
of the age of science.
Matthew Arnold defined civilization
as the humanization of man, in So
ciety; the satisfaction for him, in So
ciety, of the true law of human nature.
The genius of our modern civilization
is humanity. 1t was humanity that
wrote the Declaration of Independence
that freed the slaves and the serfs
that called The Hague conferences and
peace congresses. Humanity is organ
izing the Worldwide battle with dis
ease, is filling our homes with thou
sand luXuries is croWding our libraries
with books, gives reason and purpose to
all reform and progressive movements
and is re-vitalizing our religious insti-
tutions. This is the standard by which
we must judge contemporary civiliza-
ton.
There are certain habits Of thought
certain tendencies, certain customs in
our present civilization that do not ring
true when tried by this test. Undue
veneration for authority tolerates SEN
ates and houses of lords that are clogs
on the wheels of national progress. 1t
is the support of the anomalous aris-
tocracies of the old world, and even
our American political institutions are
weighed down by archaic machinery
and procedures. This veneration keeps
alive antiquated religious institutions
and makes possible special privilege of
all kinds.
another absurdity is our liberation
Of the enormous economic wastes of the
liquor traffic and kindred institutions.
Another absurdity is the startling con-
trasts of sybaritic luxury jostled by de-
grading and hopeless poverty. A thou
sand small traders must be crushed to
fatten a few trust magnates. The faces
of 10000 poor must be gound to make a
millionaire. We waste in war prepara-
tions money that would irrigate un-
numbered acres of desert land, or send
thousands of children to school.
"These absurdities must be elimin-
ated. Every institution, every custom,
every law that does not exist for hu-
manity's greatest benefit must be mer
cileSSly rooted OUT

The Want Ad plays Its Part" in Human
Affairs

Look out of your window and watch the peo-
pie who are passing.
That man with the anxious face is out OF
works. looking for it; looking for work by
walking around somewhat ainlessly-as he
might have had to do before there was such
a thing as want advertising in the world
The woman in a hurry is on her way to
answer a want ad in person-the other wo-
man is going shopping, and to have a servant
wanted ad printed in tomorrow's paper.
That young fellow answered a want ad yes
terday and has his letter appointing an
interview.
The other young man, hurrying along Is
going to take look at furnished room ad-
vertised in today's paper.
There are people passing who have proper
ties to sell or rent, and people meeting and
passing them who want to buy or rent lust
such properties. The woman who wants a
servant and the servant who wants a place,
walk along a few PAGES apart-al Of them,
perhaps, intending to publish want ads
In one hour-if your window looks upon a
busy street-there will have passed in review
before you people with every sort of want
and other people able and willing to satisfy
every one of these wants.
With a little imagination you can picture
the work the want ads should do for these
people-and will do. for some of them, within
q few days.

but who is responsible for this de-
cadence of public taste? Can it be
charged against the church, the, public
school, the public library, the daily
paper? Doubtless all of these agencies
ought to be much more active in pro-
noting high ideals among the people,
but is it fair to the records Of recent
years to assert that any of these is the
cause of a degeneration in public
taste? Supply the carrion and the vul-
lures and vermin will be easily multi
piled. The theater has by degrees de-
filed the taste of the public, until today,
so enthralled is the frequenter of the
playhouse, that the largest theaters are
too small to contain the hungry throngs
Of men and women who hurry to devour
these representations which trespass
most daringly on modesty, reverence
and purity. 1t is puerile and pusillani-
nous for the theater to shirk it's true
responsibility; it is an obvious subter-
fuge. If the theater were to return to
it's own ancient classic ideals the drama
might become an ennobling influences,

quently said that if the church people
would cease its opposition to the thea

more's the pity! many church people
do today unblushingly attend the thea
ter. and during these years the drama
has steadily deteriorated and has poi
soned and wrecked many an unsuspect-
ing victim. The theater cannot be re-
formed from the outside; it must come
from within itself. The sad spectacle
is presented to the nation today Of vast
numbers Of church people reverently at
tending the house Of God on the Sab
bath and indiscriminately, and to their
certain injury, witnessing, on one or
more nights and afternoons of the

quented the theater who was fond of
the prayer meeting or who regularly
conducted family prayer in his own
house? The words of the celebrated
actor, Macready, who figured in the
famous Astor place riot, ought to be re-
.nenbered when he said: None of my
children shall ever with my consent, or
on any pretense, enter a theater.' Any
amusement which will contaminate the
youth will just as surely debauch those
who are matured."
