LEGISLATION THEME
OF EXPERTS SPEECH
John z. White, Exponent of Initiative,
Referendum and Recall, Appears
Before Students of High
School

John q. White, probably the best
known exponent of direct legislation
in the United States, associated with
the Henry George Lecture association,
spoke yesterday to the students of the
Los Angeles high school in the school
auditorium.
Mr.. Whites subject was the "Ini-
tiative, Referendum and Recall" He
attempted to show that legislation in
this field would be of benefit to the
people.
Mr.. White said in part:
Direct legislation is in operation in
Oregon, Montana, South Dakota, Ok
lahoma, Missouri and Maine, and to
some degree in Nevada and Utah.
Municipalities in Oregon, California
and other states possess this power in
varying degree. 1t is part and parcel
of all newer movements toward better
government, and-none who possess it
show any tendency to drop it.
Government of some sort we must
have. Two sorts are possible. One,
government by all of the people; the
other, government by part of the peo-
pie. A government by part of the peo-
pie always finally uses it's power to
the disadvantage of those who have
no voice in its action. Government by
the whole people is the only form that
necessarily enlists morals and self in
terest on the same side. And this is
not because the whole people are
morally, intellectually or otherwise
better, but because it is physically i'm
possible for the whole people to profit
ably swindle themselves"
Mr.. White will be in Southern Cali
fornia about ten days, speaking in the
various municipalities under the aus
pices of the Direct Legislation league
of California.

MANY NEW MEMBERS
FOR LOCAL Y.M.C.A.
Postoffice MuItiplane, with VIM. H.
Harrison at Helm, Leads in the
Novel Race Instituted by
the Association

The Young Mems Christian associa-
tion's aviation contest for new mem
berS is proving successful in a gratify-
ing way, and those in active charge of
the meet are proving themselves eff
ficient in gathering in new men to the
association. Just which particular air.
ship is in the lead now will not be Of
ficially made public until this evening,
although the Postoffice multiplane
with William H. Harrison as aviator
seems to be at the head of the list.
This airship will be closely pressed by
the Auto-piano under the command of
L. B. Jones, however, and many OF
those interested seem to think this
latter machine will win in the end.
Another machine which is also maxi
ing it's way toward the top is the
Dyas-G -Gibbon dirigible, under the able
command of B. H. Dyas and I. e.
Gibbon. The crew of this machine is
made up largely of dormitory men,
who have q large circle of friends in
the city, and they are taking every
advantage at their command in order
to secure members.
The Musical Frenchman is the name
given to the machine which is under
command of Prof. j. b. Dupuy. A
number of well known clergymen are
assisting in the handling of this craft.
Rev. r. P. Howell of the Trinity M. E.
church, South, arrived yesterday morn
ing with three new members and was
taken into the confidence of the pilot
of the Musical F'renchman and relieved
of the applications.
The membership campaign is hotter
perhaps in the Triangle and the boys
department even than in the upper
campaign. The young men in the
Triangle department have organized
very systematically and are bringing in
a large number of workers. There are
two teams in the field, the students and
the workers. They are daily giving
away membership with full privileges
of the gymnasium, plunge and different
attractions. This is attached to the
balloon that is sent up from the roof
garden every afternoon. Paul Phillips
and Robert G. Paulson are handling the
crews of the Triangle cadets.

LIVE SUNDAY SCHOOLS AID
CHURCH, SAYS SPEAKER
Many Pointed Anecdotes Used by Rev.
D. r. Howe in Speech Before
Methodist Convention

Rev. D, f. Howe opened the evening
session of the Methodist Sunday school
convention last night with devotional
exercises, after which DR.. Blake spoke
on "Methodism'S New Awakening. In
an address teeming with pointed anec-
dote, he StroVe to impress upon MS
hearers that the churches which were
most successful today owed their sue
cess to their efforts in building up live
and vigorous Sunday schools, trusting
to them to interest their elders in the
church. He pointed out that the only
way for the teacher to gain the con-
fidence and interest of the child is to
enter with spirit into his most con-
s1ming pleasure, which with boys is
generally athletics, and having done
all in his power to further that pleas
ure, to depend upon the child's sense
of honor to induce conscientious effort
to apply the things presented for his
spiritual good.
The afternoon session yesterday was
opened by devotional exercises by the
Rev. Alfred Inwood.
Rishop Edwin H. Hughes delivered an
address on "Christ's Teaching About
Childhood in which he deplored the
doctrine of Infant Damnation," draw
ing for Illustration on the status of the
children in the old Jewish church, as
revealed in study of the Old Testa-
ment, and their status in the early
Christian era as depicted by Paul in
the New Testament. Bishop Hughes
said: s"Although the doctrines of
Methodism are so broad today that al
most any angle of an argument can
be supported by quotations from
Methodist sermons, the church is too
full of people who are prone to make
quotations without regard to the con-
text, thus perverting the entire argu-
ment and rendering their position fall
lacious"
Mrs. M. S. Lamoreaux, q prominent
Chicago Sunday school worker, gave
an address on Later Childhood" in
which she detailed some of the methods
which made her boys classes the most
popular in Chicago.

and then his report is submitted to the
SCpreme Court judges. 49,
He is the youngest person ever APP
pointed to this office. Although the
office is not remunerative, the fact that
the appointment has the endorsement
of Chief Justice Gummere and the as
sociate judges makes it important. I'm
der n special act of 1895 the Supreme
Court examiner was created. Mr.. Bar
rett is graduate of the Newark
Academy and of Princeton University
in the class of 1904
He graduated from the New York
University Law school in June, 1910,

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
Dec. 6.-Thirteen teams all tied at
IA miles and Z laps, comprise the field
in the six-day bicycle race being con-
Quoted here this week. They were four
miles and seven laps behind the record
at o'clock, and 1t was expected that
they would fall still further behind be-
fore the day was out. The former
record was 10 miles and laps.
At l o'clock the teams had fallen
81 laps behind the record. The old fig
ure was 759 and 2 laps. The riders had
only made 756 miles and 8 laps.
The loss since noon had been 10 laps,
in spite of the coachers' efforts to keep
them at their record breaking pace.
About the noon hour the Georget-
Pouchois team had been hopelessly
Tapped. When Georget left the track
at that time. Pouchois failed to appear
and IL was announced that he had re-
fused to relieve his partner, Georget.
and had quit the race. Georget has
four hours in which to pick up part
ner from some other team which may
be split up through accident or some
other cause.
That twenty y-one-mile an hour pace
that the riders had been maintaining
since yesterday morning in the six
DAY race being conducted here told on
the contestants, and at noon they fell
back eight laps behind the former rec
ord of 739 miles and two laps. Georget
and Pouchois were nine laps in the
rear of the thirteen teams that were
tied for the lead.

Mr.. McQuat In our business we use
about two quarts of gasoline daily. and
the floors of our factory were pretty

In reply to a question by Mr.. Mott as
to whether he knew whether the top
floor was also oil saturated, he replied
that il was TO some extent. particularly
on the High street front of the build
