REPEAL THE COASTWISE ACT
JOSEPH If. CALL aimed a Mow at one of the
greatest of American abuses when he de
clared recently againsi tiie Coastwise Trade
act in a speech to the Los Angeles Wholesalers
and Credit Men's association, lie brought out in
plain and unmistakable language that this ancient
act of 1817 had been kept on the statute books by
the railroads in order to kill water competition.
This act prevents a foreign vessel from carrying
an American cargo from one American port to an
other. By reason of this prohibition enormous
losses have been caused t' > shippers, and he de
clares that by reason of throttling this competition
the railroads have been continually increasing
their rates until they are now far above normal.
]t will be recalled that tragedy of the Texas
oil fields was caused by this very act. In the rush
that followed the opening of gushers on Spindle
top ai Beaumont there was mure nil produced than
could be handled in that district, and refining fa
cilities were entirely inadequate. The result was
that London took advantage of Texas oil while the
Atlantic seaboard was deprived of its use because
the only oil carrying ships in existence with Amer
ican bottoms were practically all owned by the
Stan.lard. The result was the investors lust and
the Standard and a few other big interests acquired
that field.
The menace <~>f the act to California means that
with the opening of the Panama canal all ships of
foreign register will be prohibited from handling
freight between Pacific and Atlantic ports. A re
peal of the act would assure a freight rate by water
from here to New York not to exceed $2 per ton
for the ordinary class of shipments, after the canal
is opened.
Both seaboards have a right to demand the full
est use of the canal, which can only be secured by
the repeal of the Coasi Carrying ait. It has been
in force since IXI7, and if it was framed to build
up American shipping it has had year- to do it and
ha- failed. There is no public movement that
could be i f greater importance to the future of
Los Angeles.
NEW AUTO CIRCUIT PROJECT
Till' proposition of establishing a grand auto
mobile racing circuit in America will appeal
to man> people, and especially right here
where we havi the fastest automobile highways in
the world. The smashing of the two most impor
tant world's records al Santa Monica on Thanks
giving proved it, and the coming races at < )akland
are likeh to give further evidence, and they ma)
even beat the pare the racers set here.
The formation of such a circuit is born of a
desire oi the eastern speed enthusiasts and some
of the European drivers to pit their skill against
all comers over the California courses, liereto
the great drawback has been the great cost
of bringing machines and driver.-- with their at
tendant mechanicians clear to the Pacific' coast,
with nothing more than the possibility of a one of
two days' meet. The grand circuit idea would
enable the racers to .start here in the winter, with
a string of short jumps through the south, going
northward in springtime and finishing with tin-
New York and Long Island meets in the fail.
One certain result would be the impetus it
would give to good roads building. Xone bettei
than the peoph of Los Angeles county know their
benefits, because we realb enjoy them. They
have ii)a<;< the spi rl oi road racing in Southern
California. Instead oi inclosed and expensive
tracks tl . ' ire al nost useless for am other pur
pose, we do on the roads that arc built
for the convenience and comf rl of our people and
for th< ical use o£ the milkman, the deliver)
wagon and the heavier trucks of commerce. The
beautiful thai line them give an ever chang
ing view and add a continuous interest to the
progri I that cannot be obtained by
simply h ■ atnd an inclosed
track.

FINANCIAL PROPHETS ARE SILENT
THERE does not seem to be any rush on the
part of New York financiers to pose as
prophets of either prosperity or calamity for
the coming year. Los Angeles is far enough from
Wall street to be independent and go on being
prosperous without asking permission of the j
money center.
Last year there was an abundance of prophets
at this time. All of them said 1910 was to be a I
marvel of prosperity, but they changed their]
minds when they discovered that the administra
tion was taking the subject of regulating corpora
tions seriously. Now they possibly arc awaiting
the results of the rate decisions before telling the
rest of the country what kind of business condi
tions it is to be permitted to have.
Apparently the only trouble about prophecies
by financiers of national reputation is tint they
shape them according to their own desires and
motives.
MIDWINTER AVIATORS
Till" fact that aviation has gone far beyond a
pleasant weather pastime is thus commented
upon by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
The motto of the aviators who are performing
various feats in defiance of winter and rough
weather must be that graven on the gates of an
ancient city: 'T>e bold! He bold! And ever
more be bold!" Here is Charles F. YVillard, cir
cling a height of .UXX) feet above Los Angeles and
coming down after a 47-mile flight, with his ma-j
chine encrusted witit ice. And there is Rene l'.ar-i
Her. rising in spirals through the cutting wind to i
a height of 3500 feet at Memphis, and fixing six-j
teen miles in less than 11 minutes. About the
same time news comes from France that Captain
Ballanger of the French army has driven his mono
plane across country from Vincennes to Mourme
lon. 100 miles, in 70 minutes, breaking all long
distance speed records. And Legagneux, a French
man, about the same time, rose to the unprece
dented height of 10,4fW feet, only sixty feet less
than two miles, coming down half fro/en.
\\ omen as well as men are proving that avi
ation is a wititer sport. Mrs. Maurice Hewlett.
wife of the novelist, is not permitting cold weather
to interfere with her aviation school. And two
young French women. Miles. Marvingt and Du
trieu, arc making daily flights to win a prize of
fered by a woman's journal. Mile. Dutrieu stayed
aloft one hour and nine minutes a few days ago.
After flights like this, at this season of the year,
the aviator has to be lifted out of the machine and
treated as a half-drowned person, fo such daring
spirits the lines from one of Milton s sonnets
apply:
1 argue not
Against Heaven's hand or will, nor bate a jot
Of heart or hope: but still bear up and steer
Right onward."
LESSONS IN CODY'S LAST BUFFALO
COL. WILLIAM F. CODY, endearingly
known as "Buffalo Bill," has killed his last
buffalo. Apparently this is an actual fact
with the col. me! and is not after the diva style of
continuous farewalls. N'oi that the well advertised
showman would not do it again, but becaust in his
line- of "art" tlie field is limited.. There arc only
1999 buffalo left in America since hi i unerring rifle
at the Lillie ranch near Guthrie brought the two
thousandth one low. All of them are in private
herds or public parks and have become so expens
ive thai the price is beyond reason, even for ad
vertising purpi ■■-■
However, the spectacle is impressive as mark
ing an epoch. Within the memory of Col. i
buffalo traversed the plains in such vast numbers
that no estimate could be made of the size of the
herds. Only a little while before the aborigines
had treated the buffalo as a gift from the "Great
Spirit." Indians did nol hunt buffalo for sport
until taught by the example of white men. A tribe
often camped down the wind from a feeding herd.
cautiously killed animals that followed good graz
ing and detached themselves from the main body,
and remained for considerable periods within the
vicinity of a bountiful supply of fresh meat. In
earlier" military operations in the wesi federal
- found it possible to adopt the Indian plan
of using a buffalo herd as a meat supply without
frightening the animals and causing a stampede.
Hut the repeating rifle and the butcher sports
man soon came to the plains. "Buffalo running"
and shooting thirsty animals at waterholes and
rivers by the light of fires kindled alone;- shore be
came so'rn forms of sport. Innumerable buffaloes
left for the vultures as they fell. < )thers were
skinned and left. The carnage continued until the
greatest herd of wild cattli ever discovered almost
completely disappeared. There are now about 2000
bison atten out in the United States and
Canada in small herds in parks or upon fenced
ranches, or kept in menageries. The "mightiest
hunter," whose boasi was thai he killed sixty-five
buffalo in one day, surviving the passing of the
herd that suppliedhim with targets, appears as the
central figure in a tableau upon an (Iklahoma ranch
that typifies a feature of the advance of the white
man across the American continent. The Osages
and tin 1 Pawnees who accompanied him are, like
the bison, picturesque figures lingering upon the
horizon as the sunset marks the end of the .'lay of
the wild bison that roamed at will across an 1111
--fenced country from Canada to Mexico, and of the
equalh wild Indian who „na: looked upon the con
tinentas his and was unacquainted with the res
ervation- and rations from the agency, or with the
ownership of oil wells and automobiles, and par
ticipation in college -port-.
Col. Cody killing his last buffalo draws atten
tion to the "brevity of the period covered by the
building of an empire in the west.
Dr. Cook in a news article in today's paper is
termed "Brooklyn" explorer. Xo one likely will
try to wrest from the returned traveler the honor
of having <\- ~n- Brooklyn.
Bi<, r Tim Sullivan dispensed real charity, for
Christmas day he fed 5000 derelicts of society and
gave each a pail of shoes an-1 two pairs of
stoi kings.
We won't allow Aviator Latham to fly to Cata
Una unless he promises not to catch any flying
fish on the waj.

NO EVIDENCE OF SPIRIT
Editor Herald: Spectator, writing in
ii i Publi< Letter liox. wants to know
"In words that mean something"
whether man's soul continues to i sist
after physical death. There Is an
enormous" bulk of cvi leni c collei ted by
psychic research societies In support]
:of the soul's immortality. Hut this
evidence, although In some instances
mont conclusive, fails to reach the
skeptic. and the reason Is that all evi
dence of Immortality, to be of any
lasting benefit to the Inquirer, must
ho felt In his religious faculties and
not merely undersl iby his Intellect,
i have known materialist ii Spiritual
ists hunting for objective proof of im
mortality for nearly half a century
nn( j nevci long be satisfied with the
evidence. It had to be continual^ re
newed to stimulate their vanishing
faith,
Bpectator wants "light and logic, and
not flowers of empty verbiage," but
there is no infallible diotn that will
supply the evid nee to everybody;
V 1,,,, ' |n , vidence t" one person may
not be D \ id. nee t.. another. Yet I bi -
1 neve thai psyi h< logical pcii nee (not
in, psyi hologii :■ 1 : nil nic manufai
by materialist liege pr ssors) will
prove most conclusively the existence
and the Immortality of the soul. But
let every Inquirer refrain from mere
oglcal disputation, for the evidences
.if Immortality naturally flow thi
the higher faculties ol intuition and
i tlon. Mere logic is generally a
pecles of mental Jugglery and no
lource of plain truth.

CRITICISM FOR TAFT
Editor ip i-aid: I wish to reply to
,ne o'Qrady, presumably a fellow
' townsman, who in a recent communica
tion commending President Taft for
promoting Justice White, stated that
the Socialist party is bitt.rly opposed
i,, the Catholic church, refers to said
church as tin: best friend of the work
lngmaii and in conclusion declared
that Taft stood' up for the riyiits of
i he church in the Philippines.
Now, I have no desire to enter upon
a dlaCUßSlon Of religion. To me reli
gious beliefs are inexplicable except
In this: that I can understand how,
when any certain creed is instilled and
! drilled into the plastic mind ol a child
by parent or priest who is revered
as an infallible fountain of truth and
knowledge, that particular belief be
comes a part of its very being and
\heu the person reaches maturity he
an no more put it from him than can
i .rooked tree, bent when a twig,
tralghten Itself. Religious Intolerance
has transformed rational beings Into
lends Incarnate and drenched the
nth with innocent blood. On the
other hand, religious zeal sends self
... riflclng men and women to the ut
i. rmost parts of the earth to carry
i heir gospel to the so-called heathen.
i cannot commend the president for
promoting Justice White for the rea
son that, in my opinion, no man no
Such a Difference
! matter how honored in life, how learned j
. in law he may be, who believes In the
doctrine of transsubstantiation and
Immaculate conception, can possess
sufficient Independence of mind to en
able him undei any circumstances to
render a decision unfavorable to the
interests of his church.
I have never understood that the So-
I cialists as a party are opposed to the
church, but have read the statement
j that the hierarchy opposes Socialism
for political reasons.
I must have proof before I will be
lieve that the Catholic church is any
better friend of the workingman than
any other church. I know of no church
that i* aided more by workingmen and
servant girts. Borne years ago I read
• a statement that six Irish bishops had
gone- to Rome to present to the pope
I 10,000 pounds as "Peter's pence" offer
| ing and that too at a time when Eng
land and this country were raising
■ money to keep the poor of Ireland from
starving.
It would require several page of The
Herald to .cover the subject, of Taft'a
course in the Philippine job, bo even
: brief mention must be postponed. I'
am reminded, however, of the declara
tion made by that doughty soldier,
I General Funston, shortly after he was
sent to the islands, which was, "Ex
pel the friars and confiscate the church
property and the bottom will drop out
of the Insurrection in two weeks."

ANSWER TO SPECTATOR
Editor Herald: In reply to Specta
tor I beg to make the following asser
tion: He asks for "light and logic, not
flowers." Spectator calls "Identity" the
! sum of all man's experiences, of his |
'sensory or menal relations to all the 1
j conditions of his life. This would seem i
a comprehensive definition, but I see in I
it a combination of "logic" and ;
"flowers."
Grant that a man's "identity" is In
fluenced by his environment. It has i
been proven that not all men are in- i
i fluenced alike by the name environ- ■
ment. As there are no duplicates in |
! nature, bo no two lives respond In ex
actly like measure to their surround
ing 0 . You may duplicate coins anil
hats and Parisian gowns or anything
man puts together, but Nature defies
man to duplicate anything living. I
Something In the eggs becomes visible
as a chicken or a duckling or an
ostrich even though the Ingenuity of
man surrounds all with an Identical
environment in the shape of an In
cubator. And there be those who hold j
that all life, Including animal. Is im- ,
mortal.
An old book makes the great inter
ests of a man's life three In number—
what ho learns, what he feels and what
he Is, Would not the first two repre
sent what Spectator means by "the
| sum of all his experiences"? And
would not the last, as surely as the
' "logic" in the egg, be something apart I
I from those experiences? That same old |
I book declares that of these three in
; terests only the last is enduring. :
Knowledge—faith—is ever passing
away, because superseded by more
timely knowledge. Hope—ambition—is
ever finished by realization. But love ,
—life—the vital something which
makes "a man a man for a' that,"
well—when are faded the flowers which
kissed that life and when are spent
the winds which challenged it. when
we know that life is no longer Influ
enced by a man-made environment,
still we know the Vital life remains.
From earliest savagery what a man
learns, even In the keenly developed \
brain of an [ngersoll, has grasped
after this logic, Life and immortal
ity are one. FAITH.

DAVID LLOYD GEORGE
Tho tiny land of Cnmbrla—the homo
of the ancient Britons—and the con
cerns of its sturdy inhabitants arc Just
now,accorded a great deal of space in
the British press. Tho reason for this
is that so many of the sons of the
principality rank high among British
statesmen of today, and that David
Lloyd George, a young Welshman who
was chancellor of the exchequer in the
two last cabinets, li largely responsible
for the hue of political thought of the
victorious party in the recent elections.
Lloyd George is the courageous leader
of British insurgency, and Is withal a
versitile, daring and resourceful states
man.
His father, a struggling schoolmaster,
died when David was a child; his
mother was the daughter of a country
preacher; his uncle, a village shoe
maker, helped support him through
college and white he studied law at a
local justice's office.
The obscurity of the beginning of
David Lloyd George and his rapid rise,
despite Saxon opposition and social
prejudice, prove his exceptional ability
and unyielding energy; and in all tho
history of British politics, wherein are
SO many mental giants, it would be
difficult to specify a. career of greater
interest and more astonishing features
than his. From the obscurity of a
; small Welsh village he has traveled
along paths beset with obstacles to the
strong light of Downing street, and won
for himself the second position in the
world's greatest empire.
In twenty years ho has made, a rec
ord, second to that of no other, for
service and usefulness. He stands in
the forefront of his party, and is con
spicuous among those destined to still
greater power of statesmanship. With
a fame limited by no boundary, he is
not yet 45 years of age. and If life be
■pared him. Ills name will adorn as
many brilliant pages of history as do
those of Gladstone, Pitt or Disraeli.
With him fluent speech, quick and
trenchant reasoning, sparkling gayety,
and the inherent ardor of a Celtic heart,
are all subservient to the winning of
any cause he espouses, whether it be a
trivial improvement in the conditions
of village life, or a matter Involving
great national issues. lie speaks with
a silver tongue, and carries away his
audiences with impassioned oratory,
but though aglow with heat, his passion
is always well under control, and over
and above all la his natural humor—
the humor of the quick mind that leaps
forth in laughter and merriment.
"We might give home rule," he said
once in an address to Welsh miners,
"not only to Ireland, but also to Scot
land and Wales."
"And to hell?" interposed a drunken
voice.
"Quite right," was the serene retort;
"I like to hear a man speak up for his
own country."
"Once while speaking to a large audi
ence in his native county on the eve
of election day, there was present one
man who was determined to remind
Mr. George of the poverty of his fore
fathers; and every two or three min
utes this fellow would cry out at the
top of his voice:
"Don't you remember the time when
your grandfather drove, a cart and
donkey?"
For a while Mr. George proceeded
with his address, apparently heedless of
the Interruption, but upon the disturber
becoming more insistent he paused in
his speech and said:
"Men and women of my country, I
do not know what has become of tho
cart, but as for the poor old donkey, I
see that he is still alive," pointing his
linger straight at the interrupter.
One of the largest land owners in
England undertook to explain to the
chancellor how unjustly his finance pol
icy dealt with him and his class.
"Why, sir," ho observed, ''we can't
escape you even when we die; you
have us there with your death duties."
"Then you may be thankful," replied
Mr. George quietly, "that we do not
follow you to the next world, for we
might even make it hotter for you
there." '
The cheery demeanor, the mental
alertness and the grim earnestness of
Lloyd George are, without doubt, forces
that destine him to be one of Britain's
greatest statesmen, and one of the peo
ple's emancipators.
Fraught with meaning was his utter
ance a while ago at Limehouse: "I
am a son of the people"; and he has
shown to the people that hereafter la
Old England dukes and lord* and tho
idle rich must share with them the
burdens of government. Ho has dem
onstrated that the old order is doomed,
and that the dawn which is near. break
ing ushers in a new order.
