TEMPERANCE OF TEMPER

nEV. DIR. J. WHITCOMB BROUGH-
IL ER'S recent sermon on the
AO Eight with Temper and
Tongue" was of more than usual in
terest. It is true in the various tenn
perance crusades, temperance of tenn
per has been neglected A man with
an Incorporate temper is as obnox-
ious at home and as dangerous in a
community as man with an intem-
perate appetite.
DR. Brougher said: "a gossip,
WHETHER MAN OR WOMAN, is
usually narrow-minded, bigoted, pref
udiced and ignorant" To enjoy telling
about the weakness Of others shows a
nature depraved and contemplate
An unbridled tongue and an uncon-
trolled temper are a curse to the
world
If men would cultivate the habit of
boosting, instead of knocking, and
would learn under all circumstances
and provocation to keep their temper,
undoubtedly the efficiency of the ma
ton would be increased perceptibly
and with efficiency, prosperity

REMEMBER THE COMET

VNIFTY-TW citizens, hauled up for
neglecting to put tail lights on
n their automobiles and other We
hicles, have evidently not taken to
heart the lesson of the skies. There
is a good deal of mystery about the
tail of the comet. The skymobile may
be of a new and strange make, but
even it, with all its independence and
loftiness and general astronomical
cussedness, had to conform to the
rules of the road and show a light
astern.
When the skymobile travels in con-
formity with the regulations, we don't
see why our great and good friends.
the citizens of the United States, can't
bring themselves to an obedient and
humble state of mind with regard to
their automobiles.
No doubt it is more or less interest
ing work for a police justice to preside
over a financial collection pro bono
publico, but we are sure automobile
owners would rather cultivate the light
habit than the fine habit. We hope
the tail-light regulation will be OBJ
served. If citizens find it difficult to
keep in mind, let them use mnemonics.
Remember the comet!

OPTIMISM

III ERBERT KAUFMAN, in the Chi
I'll cago Record Herald, says:
Il Don't retard yourself-that's the
other mans job-he's ready and anX-
ious to down you. Don't help him.
The Herald's policy has been one of
optimism. We prefer to believe the
best about everybody. We hate no
body. We think our neighbors are en-
titled to square deal, and that so are
we. Believing this, we dispute the
accuracy Of Mr.. Kaufman's statement
that it is one mans job to down his
neighbor.
This republic is founded on mutual
respect, on brotherliness. on team
work There are two isms" which are
closely related-optimism and Ameri-
canism. Optimism doesn't believe in
downing the other man. 1t has not
time for that. 1t realizes the welfare
of the world depends on progress, and
progress depends on optimism, and
optimism is ineffective unless the Gold
en- Rule is praeticed,
To practice American optimism and
optimistic Americanism is the good
government way, and the way Of good
government is the Los Angeles way.

CONSERVATION

n YER and over again the Eible b. IS
men beware of talking too much.
" Our friend, Oscar LaWler, has
never taken to heart the warning that
the tongue, although a small member,
may cause a big amount of trouble.
If he is not a Bible student he might
at least take the advice of the three
wise monkeys, Hear no evil, see no
evil, speak no evil
If there is one reform dearer than
any other to the enlightened American
public it is the Roosevelt reform
called conservation of national ma
tural resources" Mr.. L1wler's attack
on the gentlemen whose private as well
as public lives have been devoted to
the service of their fello-7 citizens
along lines which have the enthusias-
tic support of Theodore Roosevelt, is
deplored and regretted by his fellow
citizens of Los Angeles.
This city is intensely interested in
conservation policies. BY their sue
cess the prosperity of our metropolis
and of this section of the United States
will be increased. To characterize in
terms of offensive vituperation the ad-
vocates of conservation policies is to
center public attention on the fact that
anti-conservation methods in short DR.
der would undo all the good work with
which the names of Roosevelt Plnchot
and CLAWS are honorably associated.

VISCOUNT GLADSTONE

VIZ LILLIAN EWART GLADSTONE
wv may or may not be aware his
son is Viscount Gladstone. Let
US hope, for the sake of the grand old
mans eternal peace of mind, he
doesn't know it. Let us be thankful
there are no titles in the United
States. They provide the easiest
method of bribery, although titled per-
sons would no doubt be indignant at
the suggestion they had been "pla
Gated"
At an early stage of American his
tory the British government offered
George Washington a dukedom; and
the proposition that a peerage should
be provided for him was made openly
in parliament. The Tories could not
understand the character of man to
whom a dukedom was no temptation.
Gladstone could have had title, but
he preferred to remain William Ewart

VIZ ARM commendation of Dr. John
w Willis Baer, president of Occi-
dental college, is found in an
editorial in the Interior published IN
Chicago. Under the heading, How
They Do 1t in California" the Interior
says
among the college executives who
have been wrestling with the question
of the ecclesiastical relations of thelr
schools. President John Willis Baer OF
Occidental. in California. has assailed
the problem with characteristic direct
ness. He appreciated the unfortunate
impression when so significant a mat
fer seems to be settled on mere none
tarv grounds, and he sought for some
principle, higher than either precedent
or expediency, on which permanent
policy for Occidental might be based.
He set it down as thesis not likely
the promotion of Presbyterianlsm, put
maintaining Christian colleges not Tor
the promotion of Presbyterianisms, but
as an unselfsh contribution to the ad-
vancement and strengthening of Chris
tianity in this nation. The connection
of a church college with a church is
important then, not as security for
any sectarian advantage which the de-
nomination seeks to derive from it, but
only as a means of guaranteeing the
institutions unwavering Christianity
Can this be guaranteed in any better
way?
"WeH. President Baer thought so.
He drew up a new charter for Occi-
dental in which the board of trustees
was constituted an independent body
self-perpetuating but limited in eX-
press terms-not for majority of the
membership, but for all of ito mem
bers of evangelical churches. Further
more. he wrote into the charter the
requirement that the school snail lor-
ever he conducted in harmony with the
life and aims of the evangelical
Christian churches which teach the
fatherhood and sovereignty of Cod the
deity and atonement of Jesus Christ

Spirit and the Bible as an authorita-

President Baer's Action Warmly
Commended in Interior Editorial

tive spirit revelation from Cod So
far as the Interior knows there is
no college charter like this in America
"a charter containing a definition OF
evangelical Christian doctrine I'm its
fundamentals and requiring the school
to continue always in line with such
teaching. The news that Occidental
was trying to get away from the
church had created in Los Angeles
presbytery a quite determined party
of opposition. but when President
Baer in a straightforward speech be
fore the presbytery explained how and
wherein he believed he was founding
Occidental deeper than ever on re-
ligious bedrock, the antagonism dis
appeared almost magically, and the
vote on the subject, when taken, was
absolutely in favor of approving the
new document, although the presby-
terys voice in the selection of trustees
was thereby silenced.
1.-THE relation of all this action to
Occidental's chance for enrolment on
the Carnegie pension list was frankly
considered. DR.. Baer said to the pres
bytery that he should be very glad to
see Occidental obtain the privilege OF
participating in these stipends for any
disabled professors, but the charter
change must be dealt with on it's
merits apart entirely from any pos
sible financial profit to the college or
its teaching staff AS a matter OF
fact, he said. he himself seriously
doubted whether the Carnegie trustees
would accept Occidental on the new
basis; he thought it likely that the
charters evangelical limitation would
still exclude it. But he would not
alter his proposition by hairs breath
on that account. The new charter
marked the exact place where he con-
ceived that Occidental ought to stand
on principle, and if the Carnegie trus-
tees conferred any Dement'S on the col
lege they must come TO it at that
position; the college could not go to
them. The Los Angeles presbyters
were highly pleased with this out
spoken declaration

HALLEYS COMET A WORLD SOUL
TRYING TO BECOME FIXED STAR

Los ANGELES, May 24.-[Editor
clude short editorial on the comet
with this question: And even with
scientific explanation, who is prepared
to answer the question: In the econ
omy of the universe, what is the use
full purpose of the comet" With the
frank admission that | am neither wise,
learned nor scientific as now under
stood, and that | am stupid and stub
born enough not to bow to the fichie,
flirting and fashionable dame called
common sense" that now beats and
spurs the doers as the Romans did II
into forced and foolish actions instead
of into an even tempo as the tides and
seasons come and go-in spite OF this
l will answer your question and VIII
first say that in its formation period
the comet must absolutely be unity
of soul-desires or a materialized world
soul.
Since every naturalization that we
know of stands forth as the supreme
effort of a soul-as in art, music, poe
try, everything-hoW can there be any
other answer?
Now since this is so and that every
soul is deadly in conceit and only
haDpv in its hope of gaining and keep
ing its life under the best possible ar
vironment-how can such world
soul. as the comet represents, have
any other useful economic purpose ard
desire than to do it's duty, which is: Re
free to itself by serving the universal
we'll being; follow the path that is laid
out for it: take and give in equal mea-
sure; in short, do universally what
man correspondingly would do inter
nationally under a cooperative COM
monwealth What other useful pur-
pose could it have?
AS to its nature: The fact that it
comes around to our system every -
years proves that it has an orbit; TINS
y in nrnves that if moves around a
Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-25

central sun-very great of course; this
further proves that it's first duty is
to that sun and that all its other in
fuences are secondary only; and this
should still further prove on the same
line of reasoning that Halley's comet
is really no comet at ALL but a kind of
solar moon or planet. 1t this isn't so,
but that it owes its periodicity to the
certain suns that attract and direct it
a we'll as give it Its long reflective
"firetail," then it is neither planet nor
comet of the known kind, but uni
versal world messenger. But if neither
of these two, but a real comet with
real tail then it is a woIld-soul, striv-
ing to become a central sun, and to
thatend is gathering fire mist or world
dust as seen in its long tail, which
give it equilibrium until it becomes
too large and forces the head to stop
and turn around and wind itself-tail
and all-into round sun, fixed star,

We hear hue, that must prevail,
About the comets tell-tale tail
That fore and aft the high-born queen
Throws dust for light. as we have seen.
''The learned men," great in detail
Have long been on the comets trail,
And now in many ways agree
To disagree, as we must see.
The comet, head and tail, 1 fear
Is all too misty TO make clear
To science If it, tail as Prov
Evolves or dissolves now.
And why should men who cannot see
That here their duty first should be
Get light from worlds that form above
As unities Of Right and Love?

GOOernnlent Strikes
BlozU At Night Riders
Through Grand Jury

Washington, February 17.-Twelve So
the federal grand jury at Coyington, KY,
for acts perpetrated in the tobacco dis
tricts constituting a conspiracy in re-
straint of interstate trade according to
information received by the department
of justice today from Edwin p Grosve-
nor, one of the assistants to Wade H.
Ellis, who has been supervising the in
vestigation into the alleged night rider
outrages on independent tobacco growers
The offenses on which these indictments
are based are characterized as one Of
the most literal examples of restraint in
trade that have ever come to the attention
of the department. The alleged outrages
occurred at Dry Ridge on the Cincin-
natl Southern railway. An independent
1t is stated had taken to the station a
shipment designated for Cincinnati firm
and leaving it with the agent received a
bill OF lading. The night riders sought
to dissuade both the shipper and the
agent from shipping the tobacco but
being unsuccessful compelled the owner
to give up his bill of lading
The night riders went to the agent and
got the tobacco. Mr.. Ellis made this
statement to the contemplated prosecu-
ton.
1t developed at recent hearing of the
officers of the Burley Tobacco society
in Washington that the chief grievance
against the society or any of its mem
bers were these acts of violence, depreda-
ton and forcible opposition to the ship
ment of tobacco to points outside of the
state by independent growers who re-
fused to join the society. The officers
of the society disavow any responsibility
for the acts Of these night riders and the
