A STATE OF HOMES

w TERE Horace Greeley seated today at the
wv editorial desk of the New York Tribune
it never would occur to him to pen his
famous admonition Go West, Young Man, 20
West" The need for that advice has passed CALI
fornia's population, lust announced by the census
bureau, is 2;577, $40 Ten years ago it was only
|, 485053 The gain in decade has been S9z,49o,
or more than 90 per cent.
Today men all over the east are packing up,
making ready for the hegira, and they are BRING
ing their families with them Already California
is the greatest home state in the Union. Here, IN
proportion to population, more persons own their
homes than anywhere else in the civilized world.
AT first when an eastern man comes here he is
astonished and dismayed at real estate values IN
close proximity to big centers OF population lie
wants home but he has learned caution in a hard
school, the school of the east and so he rents lit
tie bungalow in which his family lives comfortably
for two or three years Meantime those same
property values have been mounting steadily The
place which Just suited him and which he could
have bought two years ago for $4,000 now hnds a
ready sale at S5O00 Finally he wakes up and buys
and when the census man calls round his name
goes down on the list as owning his own home.
The problem of. home maintenance here IS
much simpler than in the east. Every encourage
ment is offered the individual who cherishes an
ambition to become independent of landlords.
Heating is trivial matter. Bungalows may be
built cheaply where no need exists to construct
heavy outer walls to keep out the cold, strongly
built roofs to carry perhaps tons weight OF snow
and extensive cellars
California is today state OF homes. Our MI
merous hotels and apartment houses are hleq, Il
is true but by tourists and recent arrivals. Your
true Californian whether native born or by adOp-
ton lives in his own home and in proportion to
his means he lives better and more comfortably
than he could live anywhere else in the whole OF
the United States

cRlTIcIsEs THE CHURCH

Editor Herald: "Why is it," said an
intelligent man to me, that the virile,
strong, independent men and boys are
not interested in the church today?"
This set me thinking. A stream new
er can rise above it's source. The pull
pit should be brave enough to espouse
the cause of righteousness, and to stand
for arraigning a false age, instead of
hiking back and whipping Judas, who
many of the professed followers of
Christ When he betrayed his Lord,
Judas felt so badly that he went out
and hanged himself, after throwing
down at the feet of the high priests the
graft he had gotten for betraying Je-
sus, whereas today's grafters keep the
graft and have not the good sense to
hang themselves, and thus get out of
the way of reform and righteousness.
The best service these grafters could
do society would be to bring back
their stealings and repent, even if it
was needful for them in their remorse
to hang themselves.
This is the age of namby-p -pambyism,
crucifyng the truth, or Christ, which is
the same thing, for office, or money,
or popularity. Judas thought Christ
would pass through the hands of his
enemies. These think they can buy a
place in the synagogue for cash sub
scription to the beleVolences of the
church.
Let Christianity become heroic, and
denounce the evils of the day, the op-
preston of the poor, not in Jerusalem
but in Los Angeles and elsewhere; de-
nounce the man who talks prohibition
and votes for whisky, the man who
talks honesty and then brings his In
fiuence and that of a large organization
he represents to the support of dis
honest candidate. while an admittedly
honest man is running for the same
office. Let the churches say to corrup-
ton in authority, Thou art the man."
and fear not the face of man, but fear
God, and none else beside, and then
intelligent, brave men will wait upon
their ministry. and no longer will 1t be
said that only sissies and weaklings go
to church. NJ g. MeSAoLlN'

LABOR UNIONS AND
COMMERCIAL TRUSTS
(Puck)


What is sauce for the goose is also
sauce for the gander-sometimes There
are notable exceptions; as for instance
in the case of the striking expressmen
of New York city. At this writing the
companies have expressed willingness
to deal with their men on the question
of hours and wages but up to date they
have refused repeatedly to recognize
their union. The principle of unionlsm
the express companies evidently regard
as a vicious one--that is. when the
principle is applied in a union of their
employees. Applied to themselves, to q
union of the companies, the principle is
a wholly different matter. There It
loses it's vicious features and becomes
"a gentlemen's agreement" A trust Is
a union. and a union is trust, or it
hopes to be, and If any one thinks that
the express companies of this country
do not shape up as fairly lusty trust
or union, let hil ask himself what
power it is that keeps congress from
authorizing a parcels post, something
which nearly every civilized nation but
the United States has established? In
view of the postal deficit, the subject is
a live one. Any deliver into it's details
will not be long in reaching the conclu-
sion that the chief obstacle in the way
OF a parcels post and a most lucrative
source of government revenue is the
pentlemen's agreement" which lately
has made so determined a stand against
the vicious principles of unionism.

SLEEP, SIX MILLS PER MILE

mission declare that the travelling public should
paw for its sumber at the rate ol mills per mile
with minimum charge OF SIPS, plus the porter S
tip OF course the company officially has noth-
ing to do with that tip but practically 1t is as much
a fixed charge as the price Of the Pullman ticket
itself. Not man III a thousand has sut1lclent
backbone to dodge it, lie pays alike for good serV-
ice and bad He grumbes perhaps, but he pays,
and the Pullman company, knowing he will pay,
docks the portcrs wages and thus puts tire
amount OF the gratuity into its own plethorc
pocket
No public in the world is so Jealous OF its
rights as a disbursng agent as the American, and
this trait is appreciated and played upon by every
MONOPOLY listed in the bureau OF corporations. Ot
course it is natural. In d civilization which bases
its individual claims to prclerment and position on

are listed below the moneymalliuG llnacl it is to

THE HERALD'S PUBLIC LETTER BOX
SAYS FOOD is BAD

Editor Herald: I feel it my duty to
send you a few lines in regard to the
trouble the board of public works has
had with the cooks and walters of Des-
mond's mess houses. I have been work.
ing on the aqueduct for fifteen months,
and want to say that the cooks and
walters are not to blame for the poor
meals they put up there. If the board
of public works will send an inspector
to the warehouses of j. d. Desmond
they will find 1t needless to send him
over to the camps. If he finds the stuff
is rotten there, what is the use to send
him to the mess houses and to make a
fuss with the cook and walters? Ev-
erybody with common sense knows that
no tailor can make a woolen suit out
of cotton.
1t is a shame that a great city like
Los Angeles cannot rule herself. That
one man can dictate to her is unbeliev-
able, but it is only too true. Notwith-
standing the exorbitant charge Cfor 80
cents a meal for working men is rec
ord for this state), Desmond is able to
defy the city board in such manner
that though they know he is mistreat-
ing his men, they cannot stop him, and
so have to throw sand in the eyes of
the public. They can only watch the
back door, while they have to give the
front to Desmond

late in some particular at least.
TN sincerity, however, we are pos
tive. Never were women more earnest
than they are today. 1t is this quail
ity, perhaps, which makes us forgetful
of other and to us lesser things. When
we take ourselves less seriously we
will allow these other traits chance
lor development. They are still with
us and need only little encourage
ment to lecome manifest" she said.
Discussing the reason for the recent
sudden development Of women-that
which has been so evident in the last
thirty years, Mrs. Budget said:
1--WE are just beginning to see how
much there is to women. We are
studying women now, their needs and
their possibilities. Unless we do study
them we cannot think what is best for
them to do, nor realize all their COM
plexity. L believe that women are the
most complex creatures on earth, and
it is the conflict of their various emo
tions and physical and mental re-
quirements which have kept them the
subservient sex through all this time.
Now that they are finding themselves
they are going. perhaps, to some ex-
tremes, but that will soon be overcome.
With the understanding of their own
possibilities they will diligently and
carefully arrange to combine with the
sat freedom of thought and action
whio-- is now theirs, all that charm of
femininity whic' has been theirs for
all time, and in combination will dis
cover themselves a tremendous lever
for the raising of all humanity to that
high plane which all thinking folk
realize is to be attained. When they
do this, then, indeed, will they become
worthy daughters of those great wom-
en- who are just now passing away
and whose memory women can honor
in no better way than this"

erIy Instincts

Memorials and "reminiscences of
Julia Ward Howe must make every
thinking woman take pause" said
Elizabeth Dejeans Budget. in her cozy
writing room yesterday. "The charm,
wit and beauty of this wonderful wo-
man of the last generation were used
by her to advance every member of
her sex, with the result that she ac-
complished great work. Women of
the present day, think. fail to realize
that she used every Womanly charm
she possessed as well as that splendid
intellect of which they all are so
proud"
Mrs. Budget was one of the speak
ers on the Friday Morning club men,
orial program held last week for Mrs.
Howe, and her words of tribute then
suggested further discussion concern
ing the manner in which women of
the present day are following in the
paths blazed out for them with so
much courage and hardihood by. the
great women of the passing generation.
Those women wore always the triple
crown of womanhood," she continued,
as she moved her chair closer to the
fireplace, where, i'll accordance with
customs established during her resi-
dence i'll England, a wood fire bidzed
cheerfully; land the component parts
Of this crown were sweetness, reverence
and absolute sincerity. In thinking a
good deal of our modern woman-and
my profession requires that l think
and observe her closely-I find that we
are prone to wear this crown just a
trifle awry. If women would only
apply the mental looking glass to the
attitude and adornnent of their minds
as they apply the material one to those
garments with which they adorn their
bodies they would realize this care
lessness and would rectify it,
Mrs Budget is deep student of
women. A natural aptitude for this
line of thought has been sharpened by
the constant search for new types
which her application to fiction writing
has made necessary. Her idea of
sweetness in woman was revealed

YANKEES AND THE
ENGLISH BUDGET
tcoIlIer's weekly)

(Colliers weekly
Two Americans have recently exer-
cised a clear influence on the imme-
diate destinies Of England. One is the
late Henry George, the other is Joseph
Fels. Much of the present land valu-
alton and land tax agitation, which is
the spear head of the 1910 budget, is
due to the gradual permeation of
Henry Georges ideas on taxation OF
land. And some of the concentration
and immediacy of that agitation Is
due to Joseph Fels For some years
single takers have been sowing the
seed throughout the kingdom. Such
men as Crompton Davis and John
Paul have been addressing small meet
ings in many places. Gradually the
interest has increased, and permanent
groups of converts and believers have
been formed in certain communities.
They have won over the lord advocate
of Scotland, Alexander Ure, to the
cause of a progressive tax on land.
Large audiences have listened to him.
Eighteen months ago Joseph Fels be-
gan to grow busy in England. Fels is
a Philadelphia Jew who makes Fels-
Naptha. BY 1t he has netted $S,000,00O,
much of which he believes he has
stolen from the working people. He
calls himself a "robber." He has two
master passions in llfe-one is to free
his own people from the age-long per-
sectution by establishing a colony In
some safe and fertile SPOT; the other
is the crusade against poverty. Single
tax is to him a religion, and he stands
ready to pour out his fortune in estab-
fishing it. Seeing the growing radi-
calism in England, he spent his money
freely on single tax pamphlets, syn
dictate newspaper articles, news bureau
material and lectures. When there
was rumor during the early summer
of 1910 that the cabinet might omit
the land clauses from the budget, Fels
gave $5900 TO pay for q monster DEM
onstration in Hyde park, the object
of which was to impress on waver-
ing cabinet the exteAt to which tho
people were awakened and aroused.
So active and noisy has Fels been
that John Burns, for instance, resents
his intrusion into England, and be-
lieves that he has injured the Liberal
cause by making the British think
it is his American hand which has
manipulated some of the recent social
reform.

COMPLAINS OF DUST

choking dust! Cannot, and ought not
something be done by those whose
duty it is to allay the dust that is

non to be up in arms? Clouds of dust

pears with the maternal protecting in
stinct toward children and women and
men as we'll and in this is found the
perfect essence of maternal feminine
spirit"
When speaking before the club
women last week the speaker empha-
sized particularly the atmosphere of
rush and noise with which women are
surrounded.
1T is no wonder we sometimes
scream and by our voices testify to
the nervous, highly pitched tension of
our lives" she said "for from the
first electric car in the morning until
the last AUTOMOBILE in the evening we
hurry. We never take time to relax,
or to realize to what tiresome un-
worthy efforts we devote much of our
lives. We live in staccato, talk in
allegretto vivace. We do not take
time to be sweet rr to be reverential.
In fact, some of us are almost afraid
to be reverential. We're afraid we
won't be in the fashion. The spirit of
reverence seems in way to have
gone out"
The difference between mere religious
reverence and that which admits ap-
probation of admirable qualities of
age and experience was emphasized by
Mrs. Budget, who continued:
Perhaps l mean Difference more
than reverence, for believe thoroughly
in woman's Difference to those about
her. The aggressive independence
which admits no duty to nor obiga-
ton from those men and women with
whom she comes in contact, is merely
a passing phase in woman's develop
ment.'
These are the two qualities in which
Mrs. Budget thinks women are not
following quite in the footsteps of the

TRoLLEYs TO COLLECT MAIL

THE city council of Wilmington, Del. has
asked Postmaster General Hitchcock to place
letter boxes on all the trolley operating
in the city, and important possibilities of a
notable improvement in the dispatch of letters are
suggested by the request
The application of the Wilmington citizens re-
cites the fact that this new system of rapid and
continuous mail collection has been tried expert
mentally for over one year on the Delaware avenue
line and has met with such approval that the board
of trade and other business organizations have
Joined in this memorial asking the postoffice de-
partment to give Wilmington the benefit OF this
twentieth century convenience as permanent
thing"
The use of trolley for the transmission OF
mail in bags has been for some time general, at
least in the larger cities, but the use to which the
cars in the Delaware city have been put does not
seem to have heretofore occurred to the depart
ment The mail cars in regular use run at stated
periods, more or less far apart and are used pr1-
marily for the convenience of the department.
Bit the use of cars TO carry boxes from any
part of the city at any time on their regular trips
would be primarily a convenience of the public,
making an up-to-the-minute service scarcely in
ferior to the pneumatic tube system used III
more limited way in the larger places. Why
shouldn't Los Angeles have boxes on the cars, at
least those that run to and from the federal build
ing?

A HEARTY LAUGH
Being the days best Joke from the news
exchanges.

One of the officials of our embassy
at London tells of an incident that oc-
Cured in a train proceeding through
the north of Scotland. There was an
other passenger in the compartment at
the time the American entered.
At the next station three Scots came
in. They were all big, burly men, and
completely filed up the seat on the side
of the compartment where the first
mentioned passenger was seated. AT
the next station the carriage door
opened to admit tall cadaverous in
dividual, whose girth was about that
of lamp post.
He tried to wedge himself in between
two of the passengers already there,
and said to one of them:
Here, you must move up a bit.
Each seat is intended to accommodate
five persons, and according to act OF
parliament you are entitled only to
eighteen inches of space
