PLEADS FOR CONTINUING
FREE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU

los ANGELES, Jan, 19-[Editor
Herald: | read in The Herald several
days ago that our new council was
talking about doing away with the free
citv employment bureau. AS a resi-
dent of twenty-five years and for
long time u taxpayer and having
helped TO elect our mayor and present
council | think l have right to suG-
eest that the free labor bureau be Kept
up and properly run as 1t should pe'
| think 1t should be put in good 10
cation, two good rooms secured, man
nut in as manager who is qualified to
run it right, with a good lady assis-
tant. A large sign should be put up,
notices put in the papers so everybody
could find it-both those who want help
and those out of work. / was here
when that office was started, through
the efforts of organized labor, did
what | could to have it established.
Former Sheriff White was the first
manager and made 1t success. 1t
would be a good thing and no trouble
about il if properly carried out. Or
ganiZed labor has free employment Of
fees at the Labor temple, $40 Maple
avenue, for it's members, and is secur-
ing employment for great many
members every month. ] see no rea-
son why the city could not and SHOULD
not keep up q free labor bureau to help
the poor people who want job and
are willing to work. They should be
furnished employment free. 1t would
be better and cheaper than to have
them beg for something to eat, place
to sleep and arresting them, having
then to feed and putting them in Jail
and in the chain gang-a disgrace to
the city and our present civilization.

BEEF STRIKE

| GOULD the proposed strike of meat

| effect, it will have remarkable and a
lasting result on the American nation
| 1t is certain that doing without meat
for sixty days, as is proposed in Cleve-
/ land, Omaha, Pittsburg and other
cities, will have the effect of teaching
people they can live without feshfoods
| With plenty of cereals, fruit and yege-
| tables, life can be supported easily
/ When the Scottish nation was one of
oatmeal eaters and the English nation
one of beef eaters, it would be hard
TO prove the unconquerable vitality of
the Scots was not at least in part at
/ tributable to the superiority of their
diet over that of their fellow island
ers.
TO tell the truth, a man who devours
warm blooded animals, even when they
are killed and dressed for market. is
much nearer to cannibalistic practices
than he is likely to acknowledge, ex-
cepting during his very frank mo-
ments. Cannibalism was coincidental
with the era e human sacrifices. At
ter our ancestors had slain the victim
under the spreading oak tree, he was
generally eaten, and he was served
garnished with sprays of mistletoe,
ivy and holly, the sacred plants of the
Druids.
When the Britons became civilized
they found other nations We're meat
eaters but the meat partakcu of was
sacrifcial. In the ancient families, the
sacrificial priest or the patriarehal
chief acted as the sacred butcher, and
after appeasing heaven with por-
tions Of the carcass, the family diyid-
ed the remainder. In the burnt offer
ing we read about we find the origin
of roast beef
After the sacrificial excuse had been
outlived, people continued to slay and
eat warm -blooded animals the Hebrew
making discrimination against swine
and insisting in hygienic methods of
slaughter and preparation of cattle.
The comparative scarceness and the
value of the horse saved him from be-
ing used for food by the Hebrews and
other ancient peoples: but in modern
times, especially in the continental
countries of Europe, horse-eaters
abound.
Facilities for breeding and feeding
huge herds of cattle made America a
meat eating country. The beef trust
became possible with the increased use
of warm blooded animals for food.

ABOLISH WAR

A SAYING of Emerson's is being
u revived. Sixty years ago he said
- man could not fly because God
could not trust him with wings. The
thought in this saying should be dwelt
on. God has trusted mankind with
the art of flying at a time in the
worlds history when most men are
willing to receive the doctrine of the
brotherhood of mankind and are will
ing to submit international disputes
to arbitration and abolish war. Most
men?" Yes, most men. Let the ques-
tion of '6war or no war" be submitted
to the men of the world, take
a big universal vote on the sub
ject and the anti-waE- vote of the
world will be greater than the other
by at least two to one.
Probably the majority against war
would be even bigger. If women were
allowed to vote (and why notO the
decision to abolish war would prob
ably be affirmed by ten to one. Since
God has at last trusted man with the
art of air navigation, to put it to a
destructive use would be a monstrous
blasphemy. Every newspaper printed
in the world should now begin cam
paign for universal international ar
bitration and for the establishment of
International courts.

er than in the earlier high record

five millions less than last year. and
nearly 200 millions below 1907. The in
crease in imports occurs chiefly in
manufacturers materials; the decrease

about seventy-five millions below 1907

about forty-four millions less than
1907; and food animals eight millions
below 1903, and seventeen millions be-
low 1907.
The decrease in the expectation Of
foodstuffs is partly due to the increase
in the population of the United States;
partly to prices caused by natural con-
ditions, and partly to trust manip-
ulations.
With Germany threatening tariff re-
prisals. it is evident the tariff ques-
ton, far from being settled, Is only in

AVIATION WEEK

TINANCIALLY as we'll as in every
H other respect Aviation week was
n n colossal success. The final ac-
countings in connection with the
greatest event of the twentieth CEN
tury show such gratifying financial
condition that there is no reason why
steps should not be taken to estab-
lish an annual aviation meet. Not
only would it be useful to science not
only would it help advertise Greater
Los Angeles, but it would pay All
the practical as well as all the senti-
mental arguments are in its favor,
and any project of which that may be
said should be established so firmly
among the "customs of the country"
that its continuation should be with
out question. Citizens of Los Angeles
are to be congratulated on the bril-
liant financial as well as scientific sue
cess of the aviation meeting. 1t was
a success from every point of view
and all the way round; a complete and
ffawless success, illustrating right well
the enterprising and achieving Los
Angeles way.

them self-sustaining and do away with
the chain gang. I. have faith in our
mayor and councilmen They are
doing well, but don't believe it would
be a good thing to do away with the
city free employment bureau.
| hope the new council will consider
it thoroughly. One of the biggest
questions in this country is the poor
unfortunate unemployed. The city and
the well-to-do people should do all they
can to furnish the people work at liv-
ing wages. If all were employed they
would be better citizens, and good

CHARGES LACK OF LOGIC
IN QUOTING BISHOP LEWIS

LOS ANGELES, Jan 20-[Editor
Herald: Mr.. Stones letter is the most
illogical i have ever seen. Quotations
from the words of Bishop Lewis are so
made as to wholly misrepresent their
meaning and purpose The logic of the
story of the doctor whose patient is all
right, but whom the doctor proposes to
change, is that because the Chinese are
a people who give great attention to
education on which official preference is
always given. the introduction of
schools and universities by the mission
aries is to do great harm. In what
way did their education ever benefit
them as people or nation? How many
railroads, hospitals, etc, have they
built? Was the nation in morality and
intelligence improving or otherwise?
Ask the most intelligent Chinese, and
all will point to the past as their
Golden Age Referring to the advant-
age an American citizen has, Mr.. Stone
ignores the fact that the advantage is
because of our treatment of them after
the boxer uprising, returning the large
unused balance OF the money paid us
for losses, which they credit to the
spirit of Christianity that controls the
Christian nation. Pity Mr.. Stone has
less recognition of the power of Chris
tianity over this nation than the Chi
nese have! And where are knowledge
and scholastic attainments" most
priced, in Christian or unchristian
lands? What about discoveries and in
ventions that have come so fast as to
amaze the world? Are they the result
of Chinese love of learning of hum
dred years ago, or found only in Chris
tian lands?
The story of the conversion to Chris
tianity at the point of q pistol is prob
ably a fabrication, like many others
published in our land, the imagination
of globe trotters and unworthy of mo-
tice. If true, it could be no evidence
for or against Christianity.

True prosperity consists in constant
work, good wages and moderate prices.
Conditions established by the increase
in the expense Of living without pro-
portionate increase in wages will be
equivalent to a reduction in wages.
Whenever the wages of a country are
reduced it has a tendency to sink to a
lower level. Our trusts and interests
are enemies of the public and foes of
