ON MATTERS PHILOSOPHICAL
DR.. Allen Griffiths Of San Francisco
in the City
The Cult Has No National Limitations, But
Is Broad - Humanity ltseIf--An
Interview

DR.. Allen GrifAlA Of San Francisco
Pacific coast lecturer of the Theosoph-
ical society in America, arrived in the
city yesterday and will remain in South
ern California for several weeks visiting
the local branches and delivering pub
lie lectures In an interview DR.. Grif-
fiths said that the general results of the
last convention were very satisfactory,
because the movement was shown to
be stronger, both numerically and NOR
ally, than had been supposed by even its
warmest adherents.
Not only is this true in Ameica," said
the gentleman, but in Spain, Italy, Ire
land and the other European countries,
for we had representatives from there,
the great majority of all theosophists
in the world being identified with the
Philosophical society in America. The
criticism has been made that the theos-
ophists were not loyal to America in
electing an Englishman as president Of
the society. This only serves to en-
phasize the breadth and scope of the
theosophical movement, which Is great
err than any national limitations. We
regard humanity as one-not as sepa-
rate and isolated communities, each
warning against the other. That being
true, we put in Office and sustain the
best man available. the object of the
theosophical movement being to ele-
vate all humanity.
There never was greater activity or
a larger membership to the society
than at present. Now as to the college
to be organized, concerning which there
has been so much in the eastern press
of late, the preliminary steps looking to
its Organization have already been ia
ken. Here will be taught what were

strange beauty towards the zenith Of
it's glory.
In the countless ages of the past wom-
an, who has Graded the genius and hope
of the world, has sat sphinx-like at the
feet of her master; while the hot sir
Deco of q Saharan desert burned into
her soul and the scorching sands Of
prejudice dimmed her vision and left
her bound in the chains Of an enforced
maternity.
Suddenly lifting her eyes toward the
setting sun she beheld, as by some mys-
FERROUS power, wondrous star slowly
rising through the empyreal blue as
from far distant waters; entranced she
saw reflected the glories of her own
womanhood bursting, as by some I'M
seen force, the letters that for centur-
les had enslaved her; she lifted herself
slowly up and, standing erect in the full
hands alone rested the destiny of ali
past, knowing she had given birth to
alone to break, with one wave of her
hand she swept the mists from the past
and lifted the veil of the future, reveal
ing the divine possibilities, passing in
panoramic display before her cleared
mental vision.
No longer will she remain shackled,
whether linked by golden chains or
welded in iron bands. A new light floods
the deep recesSeS of her soul, bringing
full consciousness to her that through
woman alone can woman be free

Sick at heart, the poor boy is soon

Truly slur and curse upon the institu-

the purpose of maturing in crime
I must plead for the boy called incor-
riglble; i. e., one who will not obey his
parents. Oftener than otherwise they
are kindhearted boys and scorn to lie
or steal. They have simply been al
lowed to have their own way until the
parents get tired of them and off they
must be sent to Whittier. Often the
mother alone. who has the burden of
support to BEAR cannot help herself.
Something must be done: the boy must
not run the streets and risk becoming a.
criminal. Mothers, don't send them to
Whittier There do they often take
their first lessons in criminal work.
There associates teach one another how
to steal. entertain one another with
their exploits in such work and often
plan for a continuance of it when they
leave there. These are cruel facts which
cannot be prevented. Judges, I beseech
you, send no more incorrigibles to Whit
tier. Better send them to their graves.
What shall we do with them? At an
other time will tell you.

known as the lesser mysteries among
the ancients. The college will not be
sectarian in any sense, nor Will 1t be in
any way connected with the Theosophi-
cal society, but Is one of the many fac
tors employed by the adopts In their
efforts to assist humanity in its evolu-
ton. 1t will be opened to all who con-
form to certain conditions and without
pay, since it is regarded as prostitution
of higher powers to make commerce of
occult knowledge.
1.-The outer head Of the inner section,
about which so much has appeared in
the eastern newspapers, was chosen and
regularly appointed by Mr.. Judge prior
to his decease. William q. Judge was
the natural successor Of Madame Bla-
vatsky as a messenger of the lodge to
this time and people. The adopts have
always had their representatives in the
world, known or unknown to the peo-
pie. Mr.. Judge had the right, by virtue
of what he was to name his occult sue
cessor, and he acted under the advice
and guidance of the Master himself.
Already the outer head has given ev-
idence of the wisdom of the choice. Old
lines of work and propaganda original
ed by Mr.. Judge, have been executed
with vigor, and further extended by the
outer head, one feature of which is a
crusade which is to be worldwide, to be
made by selected number of esoteri-
cistS who will visit all the principal
centers of population Of all countries for
the purpose of extending the movement
Neither Madame Blavatsky nor Mr..
Judge are dead, though both have de-
serted their bodies. They are just as
fully conscious and able to carry on the
work Of the lodge as before. and more
so, since they are not handicapped by
physical bodies.
THE great object of the Theosophical
movement of the present time is to ele-
vate the whole of humanity. and any
movement at any time carried on by any
is theosophical''

aye, crimes which are to the child only
copying from larger footprints. Some
body has walked before him in the
mud and he is only trying to step in their
tracks.
That is all.
Is the child's soul guilty of wrong?
Can child 8, 10 or even IL years old be
regarded a criminal? There should be
a limit to his years of accountabiIity and
all such crimes punishable upon the
parent or guardian. I know that the
surroundings of many children are such
that, having only broken laws, moral
physical and political, before him to i'm
itate, ne learns to do nothing but what
viewed from a higher plane, is criminal.
but from his level is right.
Should children be punished by i'm
Erlsonment and sentenced to jail or
whittier or any hands but those of par
emit or guardian? This child took SIS:
S6S was regained. Let the father make
up the balance and take his child home
and teach him better.
The parents, the livery stable keeper
and the merchants who sold him the
revolver and cartridges need the severe
censure of the court and punishment.
Children are terribly neglected. Boys
are cast out upon the streets before they
can talk plain. Boys are kicked and
cuffed and yelled at, abused, neglected
and crushed until their tender little souls
rise IN rebellion. Forced attendance at
sunday school or day school has no
quieting effect on their character. Boys
who should be in the care of attendants
OF some kind are seen during all hours
OF the day and far into the night every

tected; uncared for! God pity them!

Our Boys
Editor Herald: Our boys! God help
them! Again are we shocked at the re-
cord of child years old, stealing $75!
Is he or is he not guilty Of premeditated
theft? Did he search the man pockets
for the purpose Of stealing money? Or
did he do it just as child does many
things not right? I cannot think of a
child raised outside Of absolutely de-
grading surroundings willfully commit
ting such crime. If it had been an
apple or a marble or any other trifie
would 1t have been regarded such ahein-
Gus offence as to cause his arrest, i'm
prisonment, trial, conviction and SEN
tence to life long damnation?
Oh! money! What curse thou art!
Surprising the child to have taken the
money with the forethought Of its use,
where did he learn to search pockets?
Who have been his companions? Who
should have been his keepers?

others pockets, and appropriate their
contents. Little bodies have big eyes

announcement that Holmes has been

with renewed energy. Heretofore this
class of witnesses have declined to talk
when called upon and shielded them
selves behind the plea that their testi-
mony would incriminate them. The de-
cision referred to guarantees them immu-
nifty in such cases, unseale their mouths,
and presents them with the alternative
of telling the truth or committing per-
jury. Under the new order of things
thus ushered in the commission has
taken radical steps to test the efficiency
of the law and to that end has by the
