WAGES OF CITY LA5oRERs

Editor Herald: I see it is proposed
in the amendments to the city charter
to raise the salary of the mayor TO
$4,000 a year and the councilmen 10
5000 a month, but nothing about rals-
ing the pay of the laborers, which
should be at least SO day They
should be given half day off on sat
urdav and other holidays the same as
the big officials. If not, theh tlle
working people, who are the great ma. ma .
iority. who do the hard work for niue
nav. who are the original producers OF
All wealth. should get wise and vote
those amendments down, all JON the
Socialists and at the next election elecl
n workingman for mayor and working
men for the entire city council etc.
What is fair for the ganders' the Dis
fellows, should be fair for the geese,
the working people. Turn about Is
fair. Milwaukee is first; Los AngeleS

and treating all alike. Let us do away
with special privileges and special hlgh
salaries for big politicians and starVa-

DOES The EGO PERslsT7

Editor Herald: I thank those who
have tried to answer me. But Mrs.
Green misses the point altogether
which is: Not what the ego may be as
sumed to do, once its persistence (after
death) has been proved or granted;
but whether its persistence can be ra-
tionally demonstrated; while Mr.. Jen-
sen yields the point as it affects me
by admitting that the case for immor-
tality rests on faith rather than on
reason.
Then comes Faith" (ominous pseu-
donym) who finds flowers" mixed
with my logic l am sorry-I thought
I had avoided that. 1 notice he has
blossomed some himself.
He speaks of what d man learns,
what he feels and what he is; and he
seeks to set apar:' the third item as
the residuum--the ego that persists
or so l understand him. But mo-
ment's reflection should enable him to
realize that that won't do, because
what a man is is bound up inseparably
with what he learns ana feels; is, in
fact, chiefly made up Of same; only
what he is in the material, mOrpho-
logical sense can be (and that but ten
tatively) considered as distinct from
his psychological self; and the NOR
tality of that part (the physical form)
is nowhere disputed Thus we get back
to the ego whose persistence or nom
persistence is in question, and to my
query; What is the ego-apart from
the body which dies?' Il it anything
more than | have postulated 1.-THE
sum of ones experiences
Rather than cover Il simple issue
with flowers of metaphysical dialec-
tics | will take a bull Can Irish bulD
by the horns, trusting - others not to
bubble over tine iCrm, so long as |
make myself understood. TO illustrate
my point that it is only our diverse in
dividual experience tina. constitutes
each separate ego or personality ! will
make this statement-an Irish bull: "If
two men could have complete identity
or unity of experience (maTk that word
"complete') there would be complete
identity or unity OF person-our two
men would be but one Sounds odd,
but | think you will uaderstand)
Now when the body CHE seat of all
knowledge, feeling am experience or
capacity to know, to feel or to expert
ence, dies, what is ,hore left to con-
stitute an ego or separate personal
identity? without the physical, there
is no consciousness.
With the death of the physical part
of us, upon which perforce our whole
mentality, character, personality, sense
Of relation, identity, individual con-
sciousness, ego q care not by what
name you call it, is built; out of which,
indeed, it is formed-the ego, it seems
to me, must terminate, even rs the
flame must perish when the candle is
consumed This is no poetical simile
or flower of speech. but an analogy
moderately close, for just as surely as
the candle makes and feeds the flame
(Which cannot survive without iD, so
the physical body and its conditions
and relations furnish the experience
whose sum constitutes the ego.

BILLBOARD CENSOR IS NEEDED

THE fact that the council has been wrestling
again with the question of the height of bill
boards leads many of us to ask why they
should be permitted at all. There is all this talk
and labor and effort over plans for a city beauti-
full yet still are bounded by horizon OF bad
pictures and worse advice as to what we should
eat, drink and wear If the billboards must exist
why not give the municipal art commission super
vision over the illustrations that are to flaunt
themselves in the public eye2 There are beautiful
decorations of palms and acacas and eucalyptus
here that have been grown at great expense, and
when one gances through such vista the illusion
of the beautiful vanshes when the eye finally rests
upon pictured invitation to lead happier life in
checkered suit or to insist getting particular
brand of sardnes.

WITH THE PLAYERS


A midnight performance of Mar
garet Mayo's "Baby Mine" was given
in New York last week for the enter
tainment of professional folk now in
that city. Members of the company
playing 1.-THE Country Boy" which had
it's premier at the Burbank theater last
summer and which was written by
Edgar Selwyn, Miss Mayo's husband,
were guests of honor, and the entire
balcony was set apart for the accom-
mediation of performers at the Hip
podrome.
"Pomander Walk" three-act COM
edy by Louis N. Parker, it's scenes laid
in London early in the last century,
seems to have scored a hit. 1t was
first presented in New York last week
and the critical verdict was one of
little qualified approval. The play Is
praised chiefly for it's daintiness
which, it will be remembered, was n
potent charm in the same authors

STANDPATTERS SEE A LIGHT

A PPARENTLY the most unstable thing in
II this session of congress is the "standpat"
policy. The pillars OF that temple OF politi-
cal belief are crumbling now that Senator Lodge
and Senator Aldrich are reluctantly agreeing that
revision OF the tariff might help some.
1t is only year and half ago that Henry
Cabot Lodge was declaring that the consumer was
myth but since then he has discovered that
myths have votes and have elected Democratic
governor in his state and legislature that is not
disposed to retain him the arbiter of elegance
in the United States senate.
1t is new Mr.. Lodge who is back in WASH
ington. He really has begun to believe that we
should have reciprocity with Canada and he also
has changed his mind to where he believes the
country should have a permanent tariff commits
sion.
The other notable example is in Mr. Aldrich
coming to believe that there should be a revision
OF the tariff by subjects instead OF by schedules.
He also wants permanent commission to make
possible constant revision pressure
Of course these commission cries are for delay.
The suffering OF the public has formed all the i'll
vestigation that is necessary a good many sub
iects for revision, and one of them is meat. What
is wanted by the country is quick action with a
view to giving instant relief The sooner the stand
raters realize this the less danger there is of them
being permanently placed in the lame duck class,

STUDY THE CHARTER CHANGES

T is the duty of every citizen of Los Angeles to
earnestly study the proposed amendments to
the city charter which will come before them
for vote some time i'll February. The city council
has approved of fifteen amendments, but by vote
OF only six TO three i'll a body of nine That there
is for honest differences of opinion is shown
by this vote.
The Herald is not taking the position of in
dorsing dissenting from any of the proposed
changes at this time. There should be further op-
porunty for studying the provisions. There
doubtless is much to approve and possibly some
features to condemn, and more public discussion
of them is needed to bring out the facts.
At the same time the charter revision commits
sion has performed its work honestly and well, and
deserves the thanks of the community for its ef-
forts but the fact that its members were not unan-
imous in the changes they suggest leaves room for
the voter also to study out for himself what is best
for the city.
1t still is matter for the voter to determine
whether the mayors term shall be two years or
four and if the longer term is favored, why should
the lengthening OF the term be delayed two years
The question Of whether the council should have
power to review the demands OF the various de-
partments that rejected by the auditor is also
one to be decided by the voter lines of whether
it would aid or hamper the advancement Of the

A POEM WORTH WHILE
INVICTUS
BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
] have not WINGED or cried aloud;
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed
Beyond this place of wrath and tears,
Looms but the horror Of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
1t matters not how straight tho gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll

am the captain Of my soul.
