Travellers Are Subjected to
Alarming Experiences Abroad

A PROMINENT American railroad
u man who prefers not to have his
- name published, although he
readily vouches for the accuracy of the
facts recited, gives the following ac-
count of his experience in a table d'hote
dining car in Europe some two years
ago:
Dinner was served table d'hote by
two walters in blue cutaway coats,
covered with large brass buttons, and
whether because of the presence of
an unusual number of diners or for
some other reason (although l am un-
der the impression the conditions were
normaD, no greater confusion can be
imagined than that which followed the
efforts of these two men to serve din
ner to thirty-three or thirty-four per-
sons.
THE two walters ran headlong from
one end of the car to the other, pas
sengers shouting orders to them, and
at times attempting to detain them by
clutching their coattails. The courses,
while in some cases palatable, were
often cold, and always served on cold
plates, and because of the haste nee
essary under the circumstances, and
the motion of the car upon its rigid
wheels, were served both on the plates
and on the tablecloth.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

II OS ANGELES prosperity was cele-
brated by a large and brilliant as
IL semblage of distinguished citizens
at the annual banquet of the chamber
of commerce. The great body Of enter
prising men composing the chamber of
commerce has had great deal to do
with the upbuilding OF Greater Los
Angeles. and the chambers zeal. activ-
ity and usefulness in behalf of the me-
tropolis will illustrate the Los Angeles
way. In congratulating the chamber
of commerce on q series of most brill
liant successes, which have made this
city the metropolis of the far west, the
people of Los Angeles are also congrat-
ulating themselves. There is not a
resident, whether he be owner or renter,
taxpayer or visitor, merchant or man
ufacturer who is not benefited by the
patriotic zeal and energy of our dy-
manic chamber of commerce, which,
under the inspiration OF its leaders and
with the aid of the indefatigable energy
of Secretary Frank Virgins, has placed
Los Angeles in the front rank of cities
of the United States.
The banquet was a brilliant success,
in keeping with the Los Angeles way,
which is the way of success.
Peculiar interest was added to this
years banquet because of the maritime
advance and prospects of Greater Los
Angeles. AS Mr. Booth said, Los An
geles is on the map as a great seaboard
city. "All praise and glory" are due
to the strong men who accomplished
our city's maritime ambition. but the
work has only begun. We must keep
our pledge and VOTE THE HARBOR
BONDS.
And public policy demands that those
selfish interests which would even now
tie up the hands of the harbor commits

deavoring to exact promises as to de-
tails of the harbor improvements long
before it is possible fer our executive
bodies to be in possession of all the
facts. must be utterly discredited.

and there will be immediate and great
increase of maritime commerce.
Mr.. Booth referred to the gratifying
completion of harbor plans by the
purchase Of fortification sites. The city
beautiful, the aqueduct and other topics
of live metropolitan interest familiar to
all were touched on by Mr.. Booth in
his mastery and comprehensive review.
The achievements which have built
up the metropolis in the Los Angeles
way give encouraging guarantee of
the success of achievements yet to be
undertaken, including the union depot,
which, as Mr.. Booth said, is one of the
crying needs of this country.

SCRIPTURES ASSURE AGAINST

2:S-10.
There are today thousands of people
living that have a distinct recollection
of the falling of the stars which took
place November 13, 1888, spoken of in
Matthew, 24:29. This same verse
speaks of the darkening of the sun
and moon, ocurring May 10, 1880.
Luke 21:25-26 speaks of the same
events and tells of MEMS hearts fail
ing them for fear and for looking after
those things which ARE COMING ON
THE EARTH" We are here, we can
not escape "those things which are
coming on the earth.' Comets have
made their circuits in their orbits since
the beginning of time, and none of
them has ever harmed this earth
Gods word plainly tells us how this
world and its inhabitants shall be de-
stroyed, but of that day and how
knoweth no man, but my Father only
Matt. 24:36.
There are a few events spoken Of
in Daniel and Revelation to be full
filed before this world is destroyed.
The people that are worrying over the
comet question ought to be calm from
the assurances of reliable astronomers
and the plain teaching of the Bible
that is readily given as proof of their
safety in their time of helplessness and
trouble. Psalms 46:1-7.
Perfect love casteth out all fear
[ think the worried o.es are not
frightened for fear of the sight of the
comet, but it is their sins confronting
them that they fear will be revealed
(Eccl 12:1D, and they will receive
their just punishment for them. The
Lord never intended to destroy this
world by a comet. He is coming per-
sonally to execute judgment upon
all. according to the u.s. they have
made of his word, love and promises.
We all will get just what we have
chosen. "By thy words thou shalt be
justified, by thy words thou shalt be

it's mission tc fulfill and will pass by

direct to each Cf us right here on this
earth, and it will be the grandest
sight ever witnessed by those that are

There is only one way to get ready
to meet him in peace, and tha| is by
obeying his word. He is the standard
by whom all shall be measured. He is
the one with whom we all want TO

SENATE REFORM

f the United Kingdom has a house
of peers, America has a bouse of
millionaires. The senate was
founded in order that the triumphant
democracy Of the United States might
be tempered by the grave wisdom of
old men of experience. To the senate
was committed that which corresponds
TO the power of ordeal in feudal DAYS.
namely, the right to try impeachments
Even the chief executive may be sum-
moned before the senate on an i'm
peachment. And here are the names
of some of the members of this august
deliberative and disciplinary body and
what each really represents:
Guggenheim of Colorado, $4,000 900;
Elkins Of West Virginia. $4,000 600:
Stephenson OF Wisconsin, 100000, 900:
Warren of Wyoming, s15,OOO,OOO Nixon

vania, $4,000, 900; Crane of Massachu-
setts, $100O0,0O0; Aldrich of Rhode Is

Island, 100000 900; Dupont of Delaware,

Root of New York. 100000; Brande-
gee of Connecticut, $4,000, 900; about
81, 900 apiece, Briggs of New Jersey,
Smith of Michigan. McEnery of Louis
lana, Owen of Oklahoma, Penrose of
Rayner of Maryland and Bailey of
Texas.
To temperate, constitutional stu
dent of "things as they are" in the
United States, such an immense aggre-
cation of wealth and power, unless
accompanied by correspondingly
great allowance C brains, wisdom and
experience on the part of the human
beings that together compose it, would
seem to be an obvious and unmis-
taxable source of danger to the peo-
Pile of the republic.
A sum of S247 100000, reduced to
'brain power" would logically mean
an assemblage of mental giants. But
in the United States it is only too OBJ
vious that in many instances it must
be the fortune that counts, and not
the man; for no gigantic intellectually
is suggested by the house of million
aires; nay, one is sometimes tempted
to think it was unnecessary for a great
explorer to travel as far from civiliza-
tion as the heart of Africa in order to
find a "deiberative" assemblage of
pygmies.
A reform of the senate, by which its
vast responsibilities may be intrusted
to men who may adequately measure
up to them is demanded imperatively,
and II should be begun in California.

Herald: I would like to ask the gentle
men who were chosen at the recent
