The Worlds

A CHRISTMAS ESSAY OF
ABUNDANT AND VERY REAL
CHRISTIANITY. MR.. NORTH
HAS CHOSEN AN UNUSUAL
SUBJECT, A SUBJECT WHICH
MIGHT EASILY GIVE oFFENsE;
BUT HE HANDLES 1T REVER-
EMILY, AND so PERSUASIVE
is HIS ARGUMENT THAT YOU
WONDER WHY YOU NEVER
THOUGHT OF 1T YOURSELF;
AN ARTICLE EVERY MAN AND

WHICH WILL MAKE THEM

per and on the last by art, spelled

There is reminscence of "Trilby"
in the atmosphere of this play of artist
life wherein the dominant figure is a
woman writer who rebels aga inst those
rules of conduct prescribed for women
ana prescribed for themselves by most
men.
Her play is built around that Oft
used device Of the dramatsts, the dou-
bic moral standard, but it is written
by woman, from a woman's stand
point, which perhaps will give us a
new insight into a problem which al
ready has been pretty thoroughly ex-
amined and variously solved by mas

Twins" and Mrs. Pacheco herself was
preceded by a considerable list of
women writer's who had attained
ephemeral success.
The list of women who are today
writing plays and whose plays are be-
ing produced successfully all over the
country is a very considerable one.
Conspicuous among them are Rachel
Crothers who. in addition to having
written "a Mans World" also is the
author of THE Three of Us which
has been played here at both the Bur-
bank and Belasco theaters; Rida john
son Young, who is accounted the
wealthiest of women playwrights, and
who wrote Brown of Harvard

ing played on a former visit to Los
Angeles; and THE Lottery N an"

ton. Early Christians were
communists.
So runs history or legend,
whichever it may be, but if
one would deny the savior
of the Christian era let him
write a book to prove that the
golden rule is a lie; let him
prove in syllogism that an
ger ceaseth by anger, water
flows up hill, good follows
from evil, loves comes from
hate, peace from war, and
that the line of least resist
ance leads through coercion
and punishment. The world
would listen to such a book.
Many have been written with
that intent, it is true, but
their names are forgotten.
Cauistic sermons are spun of
subtleties and sounding
phrases with intent to con-
vert the Sermon on the
Mount to a string of plati-
tudes, but more than intent
is necessary to subvert truth.
TranslatOrs did their share
to break the force OF the
mighty statement, BE not
angryI' They have rendered
it. "Be not angry without
cause" Some Bibles have it
one way and some another to
this day, but the world will
know which is right eventu-
ally. 1t is questioning now.
Men ask, Is it really true that
anger, force and punishment
are wrong?
Austcre and unfeeling sci
cnce answers that anger lib
crates a poisonous secretion
in the blood, disturbs the
motor centers, paralyzes the
inhibitory nerve fbers, weak
ems and diseases the entire
sympathetic nervous system;
Perhaps anger isn't wrong
1t depends upon what results
YOU wish to achieve. Ii you
want to stir up the slumber-
ing brute in your own and
your neighbor's being and
are careless of diseased tissue
and a weakened vitality, then
anger is surely the right
thing in the ri h t
place. But if you wish to
avoid a number of physical
. ills which anger inevitably
produces; if you are looking
for peace, or comfort, or
health, you will find it adj
vantageous to avoid anger
with or without cause. Sci
ence has not discovered that
the cause of anger either
mitigates or aggravates the
results thereof.

T n NO line of endeavor have Amer
lean women made more rapid ad-
u vancement during the past few
years than in writing plays. Women
playwrights are crowding their broth
er dramatists hard for first place.
Tomorrow afternoon Los Angeles will
witness the first presentation on any
stage of a new comedy written by two
women. in collaboration--"The Way
Out" a play which Lillian Russell
probably will use next season and
which will be produced at the Belasco.
The authors are Mrs. II. G. DeMille
and Mrs. A. S. Steele.
Tomorrow at the Majestic theater,
Mary Mannerng will give the first To-
cal presentation of "a Mans World"
another play of feminine authorship,
the playwright being Rachel Crothers:
and tomorrow night, at the Mason,
Miss Russell will offer Charlotte
Sinner"
Thus no fewer than three local
stages will be occupied this week by
plays from the pens of women dramat-
lists. Perhaps after all the age is not
quite so thoroughly masculinzed as the
title of Miss Mannering's play sug-
gests.
Playwriting is not new field for
women, though there have been as yet
no really great women dramatists and
no really great woman stage techni-
clan. Perhaps they will come later. In
the more recent past Madeline Luz
cette Riley, who began as an actress,
and Martha Morton held first place
among women playwrights in America.
Before them Mrs. Pache> had written
'Incog," which still survives in a
musical comedy form as 1.-THE Three

That there be no quibble at
the outset let it be conceded
that there were other radicals
than the son of the Nazarene
carpenter. Seventeen hun
dred years before him Thulis
OF Egypt appeared. Krishna
of India, Hesus of Great
Britain, Quexalcote of Yu-
catan, Mithra of Persia and
a dozen other crucihed saw
iors are known to history or
legend, while on the ocean
floor doubtless are the inn
press of countless civiliza-
tions whose saviors and sages
taught such a simple yet
mighty truth as that good
does not flow from i'll. Con
fucius taught it in China,
Socrates at Athens-and only
yesterday Tolstoi died. O,
the world has not lacked rad
icals-nor mobs to cruelty
them.
But of all historic or legend
ary radicals the man swhose
birthday this civilization Gel
ebrates on Christmas was, to
our comprehension, the most
radical. Buddha taught Sc
clusion, Mithra spoke in
cryptic symbols, Osiris was
known only to initiates, Con-
fucius temporarized, but
Jesus of Nazareth said, "Be
nc angryP Judge notl' His
WI IDS were terse, his state
ments Il equivocal, and
though the sophistical cob
webs of thousand isms have
broken their force in the pop
ular mind, and ten thousand
qulbbling volumes have hid
den their simple and direct
meaning in evasive theol-
ogies, yet today they ring out
as clear and bold as they
must have sounded to the
Pharisees of Jerusalem. OF
this era Jesus was the great
radical. He proposed to
change things, to alter exist
ing conditions, to overturn
that order of society which is
founded on war, fraud and
violence, and maintained by
army, police, graft, poverty
and espionage. He proposed
really to change it all not
merely to substitute one form
of fraud and coercion for an
other. He was a dangerous
agitator of his time, and to-
day his is the only teaching
that any of the oligarchies
have cause to fear.
Some Saviors were born
in palaces. Jesus saw the
light of day in a manger.
Some saviors talked learned
ly and mystically. Jesus
spoke understandingly to the
LOB. Some lived in temples
and taught the wise and pow
erful. Jesus lived with fish
ermen and tentmakers; his
friends were lepers, thieves
and prostitutes. His word
to the rich and cultured was,
"Sell what you have and give
to the poor"
Erudite books have been
written to prove there was
no such man as Jesus-Hig-
gins "Anacalypsis," Taylor's
"Diegesis" and many a lesser
tome-but they have proved
nothing o. worth and so long
as this civilization exists its
central figure will be that
despised, hunted and cruci-
fed Jew whose laundering

that Good flows not from

science now proves to the in
tellect in its calm and inn
placable assertion that Like
produces like" Jesus spoke
to the heart of man, offering
no proof. Science was nysti-
cal and masonic in those days
and men who could reason
were initiates. Jesus spoke
to the heart of the people,
and the heart knows truth
without proof. Jesus did not
offer evidence that water is
wet, that twice two are four
or that fraud bcgets only
fraud. And the people list

from information received from members of that
committee we learned that the bills presented had
in most instances been very regular and according
to law and very much more than they have
been In the past. This has been brought about in
our belief because of the action taken by the coun-
ty clerk In receiving prices and bids for work from
the several printing offices within the county.
We, therefore, recommend that the county
clerk be appointed the purchasing agent for all of
the supplies of printing matter and other neces-
sarleS needed Tor the several offices in the court
house, Jail and sheriffs residence, and that any
county officers who desire to have any printing
done shall present sample of the printing desired
to the county clerk and that the full charge of all
Of the printing for all of said offices shall be in full
charge of the county clerk except that printing
pertaining to the circuit court.
We recommend that he, the county clerk, dis
tribute such printing among the different printing
offices within the county in as fair proportion
it is possible for him to do and as his judgment
will determine.
We further recomme nd that any county officer
who gives printing to any printing office or pur-
chases any supplies without having done reco-
commended herein, be held personally responsible
for the amount of the bill. .
We further recommend that the county clerk
be paid for such services the sum of fifty ($50O0)
dollars per annum.

OF TARIFF
ON COST OF LIVING
A clear-Cut Explanation of Why
Prices Have Increased = BY
Clyde II. TaVenner.

Washington, D. c., Oct. when
the Payne-Aldrich bill was before the
senate, blind Senator Tom P. Gore Of
Oklahoma staked his reputation thai
if the measure was passed extreme
high prices would follow
The prophecy was fulfilled. Aver
age prices rose more than II per cent
from June to December, 1909. The
prices of steel trust common stock
more than doubled in six months in
1909.
1t is the history of all protectionist
countries that tariff revision upward
means increased prices. 1t is not gen
orally realized how rapidly the price
of tariff-protected articles rose after
the passage of the Dingley law in 1897
From July /, 1897 to January 1, 1900
the first three years following the
Dingley law, the cost of living advanc
ed 81 per cent or at the rate of pei
cent year. More trusts were formed
during this than during any other
similar period in our history.
The price of wire nails rose from
$1.36 keg, in August, 1898, to 1888
in December, 1899-160 per cent in 1f
months.
The price of barb wire rose from
$165 per 100 pounds, in August, 1897
to $413. in December, 1899-150 pei
cent in 2 years.
The price of window glass rose from
$175 box, in April, 1897, to $3.50, in
April, 1901-175 per cent in years
When the German government in
troduced it's tariff law of 1902, it pub,
lished an explanation which contained
the frank statement that finland prices
are raised so far as a consideration
of the circumstances of the last ten
years will allow us to Judge, in pro-
portion to the duties"
In France, Italy, and some other Eu.
ropean countries part of the muni-
cipal revenue is raised by duties on
goods entering the towns. At the gate
of such towns there is an official who
collects this tax, and it is found that
the difference in prices of articles pur-
chased outside of the towns and with.
in the towns is in nearly every in
stance exactly the amount of the duty
The same happens in trade between
nations.
The reason the sugar trust, the steel
trust, the lumber trust and the har.
vester trust are willing to contribute
large sums to the campaign funds OF
President Taft and republican candi.
dates for congress and are unwilling
to contribute to the funds of demo.
cratic candidates, is that the republi-
can party is the party of excessive
protection. Tariff revision upward
means increased prices, and the tariff
trusts know that they can collect from
the people in new profits whatever
sums they may invest in the republican
campaign funds.
