THE SALVATION ARMY

Regarding a pamphlet entitled x

Editor Herald: The assault made
upon the Salvation Army by late Off
Ger thereof diScloseS the Inconsistency OF
human nature to "A most uncomely de-
gree. 1t seems that Gen. Booth and his
son disagree. and as consequence the
Salvation Army is divided into hostile
sections. i appears, in this case. that
the love of God and domestic affection
will not stand the strain of the religious
differences between father and son.
Charity is declared to be the animating
principle of the Salvation Army, yet it
is impotent to preserve it's integrity.
The dissolution of the Army is most
sad conclusion. 1t arose in the midst of
vice. squalor. poverty and despair. A
great body of humanity stood deserted
by the churches, ostracised by society,
and suspected by the law. The light
of hope had gone out of a multitude of
human hearts; among them the divis-
ional lines between good and evil were
broken down. At this juncture Gen
Booth descended like benediction upon
the situation, and without money took
up the cause of the lost. He invoked
for them the compassion of the rich,
aroused in them declining self-respect.
ard impressed upon them the power Of
redemption He quickened their hope.
melted their ambition, turned them
from vice and covered the globe with the
splendor of divine love for the detected
and poor. Human history furnishes
forth few brighter names than that of
Gen. Booth. The Salvation Army is
his creation. 1t is the incarnate pathos
of the nineteenth century. Its ear is
turned towards the sorroWful of man
kind, and its sympathy is their solace.
Why should the son deface the creation
of the father? Why should he refuse
his invitation to confer with him in his
old age? No man lacking reverence for
his father is true to Christianity.
But it is affirmed that Gen. Booth
prefers England as the headquarters of
the Army, which he has built up and
which he began in England Be it so.

limits to charity: no Monroe doctrine

husks of his personal vanity and return

career has given to Darlington all the
prestige he enjoys j. G..

SPRECkELS is SATISFIED
The Millionaire Politician Saws Arthur's
Committee Suits Him

John D. Spreckles is perfectly salts
fled with the personnel of Chairman w.
E. Arthur's Republican executive cam
paign committee. He so expressed him
self to a reporter yesterday The million
aire leader was the center of attraction
for several hours at the Jonathan club
yesterday afternoon. He was under the
tutelage of Ed Niles and Col. Walter S.
Moore, with Samuel NJ. Shortridge,
whose brother is Spreckels' owner of the
San Francisco Call. acting as a sort of q
sergeant-at-arms to his greater COM
panion. Spreckles' presence in this city
changed the Arthur committee to a con-
siderable extent The De Young forces
had the best cut of the pie in that the
friends of both leaders We're in numbers
equally divided. This Spreckels would
not do under any circumstances. He
threatened unless the names upon the
committee were overhauled to with
draw "his support" from the party. and
that threat had its effect upon Hervey
Lindley, and the sugar" king had his
way. p. Lillienthal of the London and
San Francisco bank was on the conf
mittee. He is a strong De Young man,
and Spreckels insisted that he be taken
off and that Leon Schloss be placed in
his stead. SchlosS is friend to both
Spreckels and De Young.
The appointment of Walter F. Parker
will probably compel his resignation
from the general committee, of which he
was elected district member at Sac
ramento. Parker is Hervey Lindley's
personal representative upon the cam
paign committee.

LECTURES TO MEN
Large Number Heard Lincoln Nlssiey .
Talk on Electric Roads

Talk on Electric Roads
A large number of men gathered at
the Young Mems Christian association
hall on Saturday evening to hear the
second lecture in the Saturday night
series now being given there upon prac-
tical subjects. The speaker was Lin
coin Nissley, chief engineer of the Los
Angeles Electric Railroad company.
and his subject was Electric Street Rail-
ways. He said the first horse car was
only sixty-five years ago, and that was
an American institution. The horse car
has disappeared and the horse is going.
The cable, which a few years ago was
deemed the coming system, Is now on
the wane, and will soon be confined to
the most thickly settled portions of our
largest cities. The electric car is not
content to remain within the city limits.
but springs out to the suburban town
and even skirts the banks Of Niagara.
The first electric road was operated at
Berlin in 1879. The first overhead trolley
system was constructed at Fort Bend,
Ind, in 1885.
The practical benefits of the electric
system of cars can hardly be overesti-
mated. The owner of outlying property
is keenly aware of its value in increas-
ing the value of his land. It's effect up
on the sanitary conditions Is also great.
The speaker gave very interesting de-
tails of the system of keeping track OF
the passengers carried by means of the
indicator at the power house, also the
system of dividing the city into sections,
cutting out in case of fires and other
interesting details.
He spoke of the fact that during
Fiesta week there was not an accident
in handling the crowds. The lecture
closed with an interesting glimpse into
the possibilities of the future. and espe-
cially the probabilities in the way Of
suburban travel
A vote of thanks was unanimously
rendered the speaker at the close of his
address. Next Saturday night J. w.
Warren, superintendent of the Los Ange-
les Lighting company, will give a talk
upon Lighting City by Electricity.

and are given upder the auspices OF the

STATE DIVISION
A Probable Effect OF the Recent Pasadena Pro-
gram at Sacramento

The recent storming and capture OF
the Republican breastworks by the
southern end of the state has resulted
in a story TO the effect that a real be-
ginning has at last been made in the di-
rection of state division. A regularly
organized campaign for two states will
it is said. be at once begun for sub
mission to the people two years hence
The Republican leaders in the north are
reported to be not only favorable, but
anxious to bring this result about, fear
ing the continued political supremacy
of the south under the present state of
things. The plan is to give out prom
ises of enough state institutions to in
woke the active aid for division of every
county in the south. With this idea in
view, Riverside is to have the state
capitol. San Diego a penitentiary. and
so on all along the line. The issue Will
have to have a majority vote of both
sections before it can become reality.
