Crescent CITY News

The entertainments usually given
by local talent under the auspices of
the literary department of the V. l.
A., usually in February, will be given
this season on Monday evening, Dec
29th. Mrs. Gowen will be assisted by
MISS Darling in arranging the enter
tainment which will be a cabaret per.
Torrance instead Of a play. The adj
mission will be so cents and seats
may be reserved on Friday the 26th.
The Baptist church was packed last
Sunday night and a large part of the
congregation was made up of young
people. They came out to hear the
pastor, Rev. Gilbert E. Fairs much
advertised sermon on "Hell." Per-
haps they expected to get something
sensational, but if so they were dis
appointed. 1t Twas a plain gospel
sermon from the parable of the rich
man and Lazarus, "And in He'll he
lifted, up his eyes, being in torment"
The singing by the congregation of
familiar hymns was inspiring. Rev.
Mr.. FAIR has been here a month, but
in that time he has secured a strong
following. Next Sunday night his
topic will be Heaven"
This is the season of the year when
Florida is obliged to take an over
dose of cranks-men and women from
the north who invade the state with
their fads in order to escape the cold
of home. They are here and we have
to support them. We are obliged to
treat them right for the reason that
were we to give 'em the hinky-dink
we might be handin' it to angels I'M
awares. But the outfit that preached
on the streets last Friday and Satur-
cay night did not have the ear marks
of angels. They roamed the streets
for two days begging money and ask
ing an opportunity to talk religion
something they could know but lit
tie about. They preached a no-hell
doctrine and that is something that
would never take in Crescent CITY;
our people will not readily surren
der one of the chief consultations of
rellglon-especially at the instance
OF a toothless crank who sings his
hymns to rag time music GU and ex-
poets us to pay for the infection
This old crank also "knocked" the
churches; his wa sthe only gospel;
churches; his was the only gospel;
was made up of hypocrites. There
is where he was wrong again; we are
town of churches and we have very
few if any of this breed in 'em-in
fact we have very few relatively of
any breed. But the crank had to live
and we had to support him during
the two days he was here and will
have to support those who choose to
follow after him. Florida has glo-
rlous winter climate and even the re-
llglo-fakers and cranks are finding it
QUITO our sorrow.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Continued from Page 2,

fully enough bind Porto Rico and the
Hawaiian Islands to ourselves by ties
of justice and interest and affection,
but the performance of our duty to.
ward the Philippines Is Il more diff
cult and dphatable matter. We can
satisfy the obligations Of generous JUS
tice toward the people of Porto Rico
by giving the ample and familiar
rights and privileges accorded our own
citizens in our own territories and our
obligations toward the people of Ha
wall by perfecting the provisions for
self government already granted them
but in the Philippines we must go fur
Their. We must hold steadily in view
their ultimate independence. and we
must move toward the time Of that
independence MS steadily as the way
can be cleared and the foundations

already accorded the people Of the Is
lands majority in both houses OF
their legislative body by appointing
five instead of four native citizens to
the membership Of the commission. !
believe that in this way We shall make
proof of their capacity in counsel and
their sense of responsibility in the eX
ercise of political power and that the
success of this step will he sure t"
clear our view for the steps which ar,
to follow.
Step by step we should extend and
perfect the system of self government
in the islands. making test of them and
their successes and their failures; that
we should more and more put under
the control of the native citizens of the
archipelago the essential instruments
of their life, their local Instrumental
ties of government their schools, all
the common interests of their commu
mites and so by counsel and experience
set up government which all the
world will see to be suitable to pee
pie whose affairs are under their own
control
At last. hope and believe. we nrt
beginning to gain the confidence of the
Filipino peoples. BY their counsel and
experience, rather than by our own
we shall learn how best to serve them
and how soon it will be possible and
wise to withdraw our supervision. Let
us once find the path and set out with
firm and confident tread upon it, and
we shall not wander from it or lingel

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY ACT.


urges Legislation TO SaTS9uaTu WoIK-
men Both on Land and Sea-Points
Out Needed Economical Reforms.
Three or four matters of special i'm
portance and significance | beg that
you will permit me to mention in clos
ing.
Our bureau of mines ought to be
equipped and empowered to render
even more effectual service than it rem
ders now in improving the conditions of
mine labor and making the mines more
economically productive as well as
more safe. This is an all important
part of the work Of conservation, and
the conservation of human life and en-
| ergy lies even nearer to our interest
than the preservation from waste of
our material resources.
We owe it in mere justice to the rail-
way employees of the country to pro-
vide for them a fair and effective en-
| ployers liability act; and law that
| we can stand by in this matter will be
no less TO the advantage of those who
administer the railroads of the COun-
try than to the advantage of those
whom they employ. The experience
of a large number of the states album
dainty proves this.
We ought TO devote ourselves tc
meeting pressing demands of plair
justice like this as earnestly as TO the
accomplishment of political and eco
nomic reforms. Social Justice comes

first. Law is the machinery for its
realization and is vital only as it eX-

Urges Development by Nation Of Nat.
ural Resources and Full Territorial
Form of Government.
A duty faces us with regard to Alas
ka which seems to me very pressing
and very imperative; perhaps l should
say double duty, for it concerns both
the political and the material develop
ment Of the territory. The people of
Alaska should be given the full terri
torial form of government, and Alas
ka, as a storehouse, should be unlock
ed. One key to it is system Of rail
ways. These the government should
itself build and administer. and the
ports and terminals it should itself
control in the interest of all who wish
to use them for the service and devel-
opment of the country and its people.
But the construction of railways Is
only the first step-is only tnrusting IN

ing back the lock and opening the

the country are to be exploited Is an

liberty of from time to time calling

lines of practical expediency. 1t is
part of our general problem of con
servation. We have freer hand IL
working out the problem in Alaska
than in the states of the Union, and
yet the principle and object are the
same wherever we touch it. We must

HIS PHILIPPINE POLICY.

President Wilson's policy to-
ward the Philippine Islands is
made clear in his message. He
urges the development of the
Philippines, always keeping in
view ultimate independence Of
the islanders. While he does not
believe they are ready for self
government today he believes
that eventually they will be. He
points out improvement that has
recently been made by calling
attention to the fact that more
natives have been appointed on
the Philippine commission than
was the case previously.
