Temperance A Health Pro-
blem.

The keynote of the new spirit In
temperance teaching was sounded
the other day by DR.. George W. Web
ster President of the Illinois Board
of Health, when he said:
More may be accomplished by
teaching the people the truth in re-
card to the fatal effects of alcohol
upon mental and physical efficiency
than by expatiating on the moral
wickedness of drinking"
This is doctrine which every
body interested in the genuine de-
velopment of temperance would do
well to bear in mind. Lons-haired
orators who come around and grow
eloquent over drunkardS' graves and
bliehted homes and deserted wives
may or may not do permanent good,
If drinking is a sin, then its a sin
because it Injuries a man, II a tenn
perance advocate is TO accomplish
permanent good he must show just
how it Injuries a man. Life insurance
tables show that the man of thirty
stands a Is per cent better chance
to live to be seventy if he doesn't
drink-and one demonstrated sta
tistical fact like this outweishs all
the eloquent generalities in Ten
NIGHTS in Bar-Roon. Raleigh On.

New York, Oct 13-John b. Mols-
SAINT the American aviator who
drew the attention of the world by a
fight from Paris to London, declares
that learning to guide an aeroplane

Moissant is preparing his quarters

There is no great mystery or
GREAT difficulty about operating an

very soon and the next generation

Every person who makes a flight

The Teachers Lantern.

There is reasonable ground for be-
lief in a general Judgment. The JUS
tice of Gods dealings is not manifest
in the present course of events. The
lots of the righteous and the wicked
are unequal. The former are unre-
warded, the latter unpublished. A
fearful looking for of Judgment
dwells in humen consciousness
Scriptural evidence Of the Judgment
is abundant. Enoch, David Paul,
Peter, Jude, John and Jesus all
affirm it in terms too literal to be
set aside as poetical orparaoolic-
The Scripture orders it, the second
appearing of Jesus, the resurrection,
the call to judgment. The entire
human race obeys the summons.
The Son of Man" is the judge OF man.
He is seated on a white throne, en-
blem of his immaculate character
AS now mercy is the dominant at
tribute of the Divine character JUS
tice will be then the opening ofthe
books" nay be a figure of the collat-
ing of human memory and Divine
omniscience. The decisions are fl
mi. There is no higher court to
which appeal can be taken. A re-
yersal of the decree of omniscient
Justice is unthinkable.

PLAN Of CAPITALIST
FOR SHOW BUILDING
TaIIeSt Office Structure in the
Great West Is Being
Proposed
TO BE 233 FEET. HIGH
Provision Made for 1870 Rooms.
Facing to Be of Finest
Marbles Elevators

The handsomest office building that
has ever been erected in Los Angeles
or that probably ever will be built will
be constructed ON the northwest corner
of Broadway and Eighth street, If the
council will let down the bars, or, rath-
er. raise them.
This is what Hulett c. Merritt, presi-
dent of the Spring Street company,
millionaire and financier, told the legis-
lative committee yesterday when ask
ing that body to recommend that the
council increase the height of buildings
from $50 feet 50 that he could construct
building with cupolas that will reach
233 feet in the air.
Mr. Merritt told the committee that
this is not purely a commercial VEN
ture, but was to be a sort of monument.
He said that he expected to put 100000
more into the building than he would be
justified in doing If he were building on
purely commercial basis. The build
ing is to be 60x65 feet on the ground
and 233 feet high, If the council will
permit. If the council will not, Mr..
Merritt said he would construct only
what he termed Taxpayer build
ing but two or three stories high.
I IF | cannot build this structure ae-
cording to the plans that have been
prepared it's beauty will be marred,
and l want to build for the artistic
value more than for any profit L may
get out of 1t"
The committee took the matter under
advisement.
DETAILS OF PLAN
The structure will be known as the
Merritt building, of the italian Renais-
sance style of architecture, which if
erected according to presentp Ians will
stand as monument to the Merritt
family and will be one of the show
buildings of the city and state
The lot is 60x110 feet, but the build
ing will occupy ground space of 60x65
feet, thus leaving open space on all
four sides. The height from the ground
to the Flagstaff will be 2S3 feet, and the
material will be steel faced with mar
BILE or light-colored stone on all sides.
It win be thoroughly fireproof from
basement to cupola.
Marble will be used for the corridors,
metal for window frames and sash, in
terror finish throughout in Guatemala
mahogany
Throughout the structure will be me-
chanically ventilaed with filtered air,
drinking fountains of ice water will be
in every room.
Three elevators will be installed, one
more than is really necessary.
Two balconies, one $50 feet and the
other 1SO feet from the ground, each
nine feet wide, on each of the four
sides of the building, will be set apart
for observation purposes, with especial
consideration for tourists, no charge to
be made for the elevator or other prfvi-
leges.
The building will contain 1S0 rooms.
The ground floor space will be used for
a bank or as the home of a big drug
firm
Plans for the structure were drawn
by j. w. Reid of the firm of Reid Bros,
San Francisco, noted architects, whose
work is famous in the larger cities of
Europe and America.
Hulett C. Merritt was born in Duluth,
