afternoon.
To-day everywhere our communities
are far in advance OF the conditions OF
the good old days. . he said. Every
thing in our age is tending to elevate and
improve the common peOple-the great
mass OF humanity-and this is the dis
tinguishing feature OF the age In which
we live Almost every influence in the
world that is working now is flowing in
the direction OF the emancipation. eie-

WOULD REMARRY DIVORCES.
Rev. L. HeE SVEN breaches Another
"True Love- Sermon.

Isn't IL a sweet, a beautiful sight TO
see divorced couples remRrried?"
Thus spoke Rev. L. Hez Sven in one
OF his series OF Love and marriage"
sermons at Typographical Temple last
evening. A large and interested c0ngre-
CATION heard him.
II believe that divorced couples should
be remarked when love revives and for
giveness is offered and accepted. But
there is another and uglier aspect 70 the
divorce problem. An eminent lawyer in
this city has told me that in 80 per cent
of the cases which he has handled, the
divorce was sought because a marriage
with another was In prospect. That Is

PROTECTION NEEDED

= food gouge? Can nothing be done
to compel the users of cold storage
plants to unlock their caches" and put
the contents on the market, so that
there may be abundance of everything
for everybody. and the disturbed equi-
librium of the great foodstuffs may be
restored?
Let us repeat what we have said on
the subject of cold storage, because 1t
will bear repetition-in fact, it can't
be repeated too often: "In view Of the
numerous explanations Of high prices
that are being offered by various
authorities, the revelation Of the ice
and refrigerator blue book is most in
teresting. Tho book says there are be-
ing held in cold storage 55S plants
100000 cattle, 6,000,o00 calves, 25,000,-
900 sheep and lambs and 50,000,000 hogs;
in seventy-eight fsh-freezing plants
fish valued at $25, 100000 in other cold
storage plants. 1,S0O,OoO,O 900 eggs, $780,
600 pounds Of poultry, fruits valued at
$50, 900, 900. There are millions of pounds
of potatoes. onions, thousands of tur-
ties, eels, cases of canned goods and
milk, butter and cheese valued
500 900, 000."
What we said and repeat is there is
enough food in cold storage to break
the high price gouge, but it is not al
lowed to compete in the market or to
affect the ruling high prices. On the
contrary, it is held in storage for the
purpose Of assisting the food trust to
make back-breaking prices to the poor,
overWorked farmers from whom they
buy their supplies (by executing the
dodge described by us as that of fore
ing a producer to compete against the
fruits of his own Industry and to
make high prices to the consumer 1t
is all that we said it was-an atrocious,
diabolical and unprecedented double
ended gouge--not only robbing the con-
sumer but robbing the original pro-
ducer, and perhaps at last curing him
of his infatuated devotion to the war
tariff policies of his grandfather, which
in times of profound peace have min
istered to the avarice of the men who
have gouged the farmer, gouged the
public and have adopted the latest i'm
proved method of refrigeration (the
ice supply has little to do with it, for
the purpose of maintaining a food re-
serve which lowers wholesale or live
stock prices and increases retail prices.
\ contemporary says: "Confound the
man who first invented ice" If cold
storage depended on ice the whopping
big ice bills would effectually intimi-
date even the hardest would-be goug-
er; but, alas! cold storage is no longer
dependent on ice or the ice man.

JAPANESE FRIENDSHIP

" ARON SHIBUSAWA'S message to
X the president Of Seattle chamber
~ of commerce is one Of numerous
evidences of the sincerity of Japan's
friendship for the United States. 1t is
impossible to doubt the frankness of
Shibusawa's message: Gratefully re-
ceived your kindly assurance. Our in
telligent public remains fully convinced
of the sincerity of American friendship,
which 1 shall spare no effort to re-
iterate"
In the future, with the opening and
development of the Orient, the COM
mercial relations of the United States
and Japan will become much closer
than they are now. The insular United
Kingdom is our best customer in
Europe and it is by no means improb-
able Japan may become our best Gus
toner in the orient In order that
this relation may be successfully estab-
Ushed mutual confidence must replace
suspicion. and both in Japan and the
United States there must be an end Of
the nonsensical misconstruction which
beholds in every new feature of ma
tional enterprise or development a
yelled menace!

PEACE AND PROSPERITY

II n THE New Testament are recorded
many expressions of benedictions,
Il willing or wishing peace may
peace be unto you" National peace
social peace and individual peace Will
bring prosperity. Any discord between
nations imperils peace, even as dis
cord between individuals imperlls
peace and social discord imperils peace.
With an absolute assurance of peace
founded upon Golden Rule American
ism the prosperity of the United
States would be increased greatly. I'm
der present conditions the word pros
perity" is both overWorked and over
used. There is only one condition OF
real prosperity which aecords with the
first principles Of Americanism, and
that is a condition which brings about
the greatest good of the greatest num-
Der and recognizes in a practical way
the right of every citizen to life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness.
By neglect of the Golden Rule and
of Americanism peace has been-and
is being-menaced in the United States,
and although the nation IS rich and
prosperous, a condition Of GENERAL
prosperity does not exist On the con-
trary, there is much distress in the
great eastern industrial regions. In
deed, social distress with occasional
violent turbulence is becoming a chron-
ic accompaniment of eastern industr-
alism. There is little to be seen Of
the peace that indicates true prosper
ity, and although from time TO time
arises somebody to cry, Peace, peace,
all is WE'LL" we recall the scriptural
passage telling of those who cry,
Peace peace. when there Is no peace.
Such are they who say, IAN Is WE'LL"
when all is well for SOME citizens, but
not for OTHERS. The Golden Rule
must become a more active factor in
national life. Let every man treat his
fellow man as he would have his fel-
low man treat him. Let the rule Of
conduct to others be determined by
your knowledge or appreciation OF
what the conduct Of another should
be to you. America needs the Golden
Rule, and with that altruistic law in
operation, assured and uneuding in
dustrial peace win result IN assured
and unending industrial prosperity.
This prosperity will be general. The
standard Of character Will be raised in
the United States, and with the stand
ard of character the standard Of man
hood; and with the standard of man-
hood the standard of the nation, which
today, by depriving many citizens Of
complete opportunity to use their lives
for "the best that's in Them" is be-
ing deprived Of much that is worth
while, including prosperous permanent
social peace.

STRAP HANGERS

THAT noble army of martyrs called
strap hangers is being increased
4 in Greater Los Angeles TO such
an extent it may be said during GER
tain hours it is absolutely impossible
for the average citizen to find seat
on A street car. If he should be able
to grab a strap and hang on, nay, if he
should form one of a bunch pendant
from the same strap, he may count
himself lucky, for even i'm the supply
of straps the street cars are not keep
ing up with the demand; while at GER
tain hours the assertion FACILITIES
are provided for the travelling public
is ridiculous Jest.
Facilities are supposed to be pro-
vided for the public at all hours, but
there are certain times OF the day and
Of the night, so well known to the
travelling public that one would think
company officials might also be in
formed on the subject, when it is inn
possible to obtain facilities and street
car travel becomes an experience. an
