this level there was a decline of points

the Texas coast seemed to encourage the

GOSPEL TEXTS QUOTED

Editor Herald: John, the beloved
disciple" in his gospel, teaches that
Jesus Christ or the Word was Goo.
Paul teaches that he was "the express
image of Gods person" For Him
were all things created" He taught
as one having authority" He "spake
as never man spake." He was rlch,
yet for our sakes became poor that
we, through his poverty, might be
rich" How idle if not blasphemous
to say any teacher stands foreN er
with the great teacher of Nazareth.
Simon Peter tells us he had not fol-
lowed cunningly devised fables" for
he was an "eye witness" and "heard
the voice" of "God the Father from
the excellent glory" which Matthew
records. This is my beloved son. IN
whom l am well pleased. Hear ye him.
Paul tells us that lit pleased the
father that in him should all fullness
dwell and that Sin all things he
might have the pre-eminence. Jesus
Christ is pre-eminent as a teacher. AS
highly eminent as the heavens
is higher than the earth" The Nor
mons claim as much for Joseph Smith
as Mrs. Eddy's followers claim Tor
her Thousands of them, no doubt,
will testify to being healed by the lay
ing on of the hands OF the elders.
They have increased and are increas-
ing. They can truly claim Joseph

GROWTH OF PACIFIC
COAST
lsnn rrancIsoo chronielel

No wonder the eastern people mani
fest surprise over the census returns
of Pacific coast towns and cities. Some
of the percentages of increase are truly
astonishing as, for instance, those
of Los Angeles Seattle. Portland ana
even San Francisco but. unless all tho
signs are misleading, when the popu-
lation of the coast is totaled there VIII
be still more room for wonderment,
for the figures will probably show that
greater relative gains. have been made
in the rural districts of the Pacific
coast states than in any other section
of the Union.
If the result turns out as the people
of the coast expect, it will direct at
tention to a condition which only at
tracts passing notice in the cast Those
who live on the other side of the Rocky
mountains know in a general way that
Washington, Oregon. California and
the rest of the Pacific slope is pros
pering, but they rarely ask why; and
when they do and get an answer they
scarcely realize it's import.
"A
canoe of Pacific coast growth can only
be gained by considering the vastness
of the territory that comes under that
designation, and the tremendous possi-
biluities attending the development OF
it's resources. Careful investigators,
not Missionaries or boomers, have esti-
mated these resources and find moth
ing astonishing in the prediction that
in less than a century as great pop
ulation will live and thrive on the Pa
cific slope as is now found on the
Atlantic seaboard.
The filling of this vast territory has
proceeded very slowly and recently.
Ten years ago there were great areas
practically unsettled and their value
almost unknown. There are few places
now in any of the states and terrific
ries that are in that condition. The
most out of the way places, from the
borders of British COLUMBIA to the line
that divides the United States from
Mexico, are now being boosted" and
they are rapidly filing up with an
enterprising and industrious popu-
lation.
That is why the surprising growth
of California cities is taking place.
1t explains why the four bay cities
that are practically one community
have increased 43 per cent in ten years,
despite the greatest disaster ever ex-
perienced in modern times. 1t also
makes clear theA causes of the growth
of Seattle. Portland and Los Angeles.
There could be no such percentages
of addition these cities show without
an enormous expansion of the rural
population, and no one on this coast
will be surprised when the result is
announced to find that the Pacific
slope has done as well as Texas, and
that it will show up, we'll with Okla
homa which was long closed to settle
ment and was not in the running with
the others.

VOTE CUTS NO FIGURE

Editor Herald: Hundreds of thou
sands of men in this country who have
no vote are holding down jobs ana
drawing just as good wages as those
who have it. Very seldom does an en-
ployer know whether his employe is or
is not registered, and still less seldom
does he care. He hires and pays ac-
cording to his estimate of the probable
value to him of the applicants work
Politics cut no figure. Yet Spectator
calls me wobbly in my logic for calling
attention to the fact that men, ike
women, are underpaid, and adds: "Ihe
point is that woman, being Voteless,
gets still worse pay and longer hours
to boot in many cases"
The employer must make a profit II
he is to continue in business, and he
desires to make as large a profit as he
can. This determines his selection ana
payment of employees, for it is from
their work he gets his profit. He is
moved by economic considerations ana
by those alone. Politics and the pos
session Of the vote have nothing to do
with it. In newspaper and railroad
offices, for example, men are preferred
as reporters and stenographers because
they can better stand the rushes OF
work that often come.
Legislation has driven many con-
Germ out of business, but it cannot
make employers pay more or less than
they think it worth their while to give
Surely this is automatic and should be
understood by all who venture on pub
lie controversy.
Incidentally / may add that Barry
who recently made an extended inves-
tigation on behalf OF the Ladies Home
Journal, reports womens wages excep-
tionally low in the four states in which
they have exercised the franchise for
years. DO you suppose they VIII now
rise in washington? Indeed they will
not. t. X. q.

THE HERALD'S PUBLIC LETTER BOX
SUNDAY PosroFFIcE CLOSING

Editor Herald: 1 was very much sur
prised to see an up-to-date newspaper
like The Herald take such an absurd
editorial course on the Sunday post
office closing. The question is not so
much the sin of working on Sunday as
it is that men shall be required to
work six days out of seven. 1t hap
pens that Sunday is so generally ac-
cepted as a day of rest, suits the con-
venience of such great majority, the
postoffice employees should be given
that preference along with the SO per
cent of other laboring humanity. The
closing of the postoffice does have
something to do with giving its en-
ployes a day of rest. The majority OF
postoffice employees work every other
Sunday, overtime during the week days
and often many successive Sundays
for which they get no extra remunera-
ton, nor do they get any day off as
compensation during the week, as you
state they do with many public utlllty
corporations. These corporations do
not work as many employees on Sunday
as they do during the week days, and
the Sunday closing of the postoflce
would mean the same There is no
grievous wrong in adopting as far as
possible a day of rest, recreation,
proper enjoyment, such as good the
aters, baseball, kindred amusements and
religious worship, each not interfering
with the other, and the day, the one
day being as generally observed as
possible because it would be of the
greatest good to the greatest number,
and the postoffice employees should de-
rive this benefit the same as is now
given to other employees of the govern
ment, as well as the people generally.

THE TOLL OF FOOTBALL

T ASTERN newspapers arc busy counting up
the lists of the slain and MANNED after the
- end of the football season. They are con
graduating the trainers OF the new rules that only
twenty-four were killed this year as against thirty
two last year The victims Of year ago mostly
died of injuries to the spine. This year none was
killed that way-they all died from blows on the
head. One of the New York editorial writer's
makes this comment:
This is, OF course no satisfaction to bereaved
parents; it is important, however, as showing that
one of the detectives of the change in rules at
taincd and it should be an incentive to the rule
makers to open up and to safeguard the game still
further. 1t may also be that with better coaching
and strctcr enforcement of the rules for tackling,
serious head-injuries will decrease another year"
