IN REPLY TO REV. Mr.. BRUCE
Christian Scientists Protest Against
the Language Used by the Meth
odist Ministers

LOS ANGELES Dec. G. [Editor
Herald: In your issue of the 4th ap-
pears an account of the meeting Of
Methodist ministers at which one of
the pastors Rev. Mr.. Bruce, made a
number Of remarks which are incor-
rect and misleading, and which there
fore need correction.
Mr.. Bruce stated that when persons
became interested in Christian science
they seemed to lose all their common
sense and were beyond the reach of
spiritual teaching. 1t is unfortunate
that minister of the gospel, who
should stand for tolerance and broad
mindedness, should make remarks of
this kind, which are clearly the result
of unfamiliarity with the subject of
Christian science.
That which attracts mankind to
Christian science Is it's high degree
of spirituality and its common sense
practicability in the everyday affairs of
life. Christian science offers to the dis
eased and sinful mortal that which he
has been unable to find elsewhere, |. e.,
health and spirituality. and gives him a
religion which can be used in a practi-
cal way every hour Of the day, and fur
thermore must be used if he Is to re-
main a Christian scientist.
Christian science is the essential re-
ligion of Jesus Christ and is affording
proof of the correctness of it's teaching
in fulfilling the proof established by
the Master, "And these signs shall fol-
low them that believe"
1t is frequently commented upon by
those who are not interested in Chris
tian science that the Christian scientists
as body are good citizens, successful
business men and enjoy degree of
health and morality far above the av-
erage, and this would indicate that
Christian science teachings bring out
in the lives of those who adhere to and
practice them the highest degree OF
common sense and spirituality.

AMBASSADORS AS IMMIGRANTS

The question whether or not an am
bassador of a foreign power shall be
put through the third degree of ex-
animation which is imposed upon other
immigrant aliens looms portentously
upon the administrative not to say the
diplomatic horizon. That 1t has been
raised in the case of an American re-
public is a grateful circumstance, since
we are thus rid of the haunting fear of
European designs upon the Monroe
doctrine. Nevertheless, under the rule
of precedents, it is necessary to have II
determined Alright, for whatever we dc
in the case of one country we may be
required to do in that of another.
Generally speaking, 1t might seem
not only desirable but essential to i'm
pose the test upon ambassadors, not to
say mere ministers, and, of course con-
sulS. We do not want other countries
shipping anarchists felons, polyga-
mists, helpless cripples and dependent
paupers to our shores as ambassadors,
and the apparent necessity for such
scrupulous safeguarding of America
increases with the increase In the num-
ber of ambassadors. But, then, on the
other hand, strict application of our
immigration laws might prove embar-
RAISING to our foreign relations. We
are not sure that any ambassador could
conscientiously declare he was not an
assisted emigrant," seeing that his
government pays his travelling ex-
penses. Nor could he deny the soft i'm
peachment of being contract labor
err" as he was certainly hired for his
job and had his wages fixed in advance
SO, strictly speaking, we should have
to shut them all out, and sever dipIo-
matte relations with all the world -

A Bad Spell in New York

Persons from small towns who move
to New York expecting to find this city
the abiding place of universal culture
and education are sometimes painfully
disillusionized, says the New York Sun.
Not long ago a Connecticut family
moved into a Twenty-third street fiat.
On the opposite side of the street was
small shop, on whose window was
painted the sign, "All Standard
Diaries" When preparing the first
meal in the new fiat the mother of the
family said:
There is a milk depot across the
street. One of you children run acress
and get quart"
The oldest son went across the street,
but he did not get any milk.
"They didn't have any," he exclaimed
when he came back. THAT is a sta
tionery store. They are off on their
spelling. They meant Diaries not
'dairies. The man says people come
in there every day asking for milk and
he can't understand it,"
Dear me-" said the mother, "and
this Is New York. Why, people know
more than that up in Connecticut"

WEATHER BUREAU SERVICE

Los Angeles readers who scan the
daily reports issued by the weather
bureau will indorse this declaration:
1.-The fact is that the weather bureau
scientists have much to learn-they
have dropped to the rear CT the pro-
cession and 1t is time that they were
up and doing"
The quotation is from an interest
ing lecture delivered Monday night
before the Academy of Science by
William A. Spalding. The allusion to
delinquency in the output of the
weather bureau related 20 the broad
er scope of meteorological science, but
it hit the mark in respect to the
erratic service of the bureau in it's
weather forecast. During the recent
rainy period, for inctance. the fore.
casts generally We're Numerically op-
posite to the results. They were such
persistent misfts that they suggested
an easy method of betterment-revers-
ing the forecasts after working them
out.
~ 10 a leiNl, Nto .JOlIllbu OuJ Dy
Spalding, that the weather bureau
seems to have dropped to the rear
of the procession" 1t costs the gov
ernment more than a million dollars
annually and while it's forecasts un-
doubtedly are useful, generally speak
ing. it seems to be running in rut
So far as the public can observe there
has been but little rogress in the
service since the organization of the
bureau in 1871, more than a genera
ton ago. The head Of the bureau in
its early days was dubbed "Old Prob
abilities" and the proportion of mis-
fit prognosticationD then are matched
fairly we'll now.
Even since the organization of the
bureau on its present basis in 1891 it
has made but little perceptible head
way outside Of its daily hits and misses
at the weather. Considering what II
costs the government 1t would seem
that it should take the leadership in
meteorological science, or at jeast keep
even pace with less pretentious in
stitutions which are not so fortunate
as TO have the backing of govern
ment and more than a million dollars
for yearly expense account.

Mr.. HARPER'S OPPORTUNITIES
Also Some of the Dangers That Beset
the Pathway Of the Chief
Executive

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6.-[Editor
Herald: When indicted into the may
orally of this great city Arthur c.
Harper will hold the highest public
position as a Democrat in all the three
Pacific coast states, except that occu-
pied by Governor Chamberlain of Ore
gon. Hence he will not only be re-
sponsible to the good people of this
city, but to the Democratic party in
the state and nation. BY his policy
and services he can be instrumental
in advancing the welfare of the city
and in giving acceptable character to
his party locally and in a wide field.
Mr.. Harper is young man of good
character, but inexperienced in public
office. What he shall do in this first
office will either end his political ca
reer In ruin, or will be the basis on
which he can build an enviable career
for the future for good conduct and
effective public service. The basis of
his policy must be Democratic. having
in mind constantly the rights and well
fare of the whole people. His triumph
in the first affray Is flattering, but it
is no harbinger of future success,
unless he acts unselfishly and for the
general good.
Mr.. Harper ought to know, and if
he does not know he soon will, that
vampires, political bosses, men of pre-
tentious influence, will surround and
attempt to fasten themselves on him.
Those who would advance the inter-
ests of corporations and special priv
ileges for their own benefit will fawn
on and coddle him, telling him how
wonderfully influential they are. Such
men have made advances claiming his
ear and favor because they betrayed
their own party candidate, or repre-
sent some influential interest. The
moment he encourages men of sinister
motives by listening to their impor-
tunities and twaddle about what they
represent the worse he will be pes
tered and bewildererd.
Mayor Harper will be especially i'm
portuned to appoint push men of
whatever party on the several COM
missions, and more especially to those
where there is the best opening for
graft or granting special faVors. What
Mayor Harper most needs to do for
his own future and the public well
fare is to take the whole people into
his confidence. If he does that the
bosses, ward heelers and the whole
gang that lives from politics will flee
from him as from the wrath to come,
and will be as harmless as a toothless
babe.
Nobody will object to the appoint
ment of those who have rendered him
service in the campaign, provided
they are capable, honest and faithful
to the cause of the people.
Mr.. Harper will enter office with the
good wishes of all honorable and high
minded citizens. His character was
not assailed in inc 'mpaign and it
will be a calamity to him and the pub
lie II he fails to retain the good repute
in which he is held. FRIEND.

AN INVENTION WANTED

Wanted--An invention whereby our
Southern California Oil product may
be made as available for heating COM
paratively small homes as It Is for heat
ing large homes.
During the last week or more the
question Of house warming has been
the salient topic of discussion among
the great mass of people in Los An
geles and other communities in this
part Of the state. In this city it has
been paramount, evolSing greater inter-
est than the municipal election, at least
in domestic circles
In the local hotels and other large
housings comfortable temperature is
maintained by the use OF oil as fuel.
Even in view Of the recent sharp adj
vance in oil prices the cost of heating
by oil Is not more than one-fifth the
cost of heating by coal. That estimate
Is on the assumption, as indicated by
government experiments, that three
barrels Of crude oil are equivalent to
ton of coal in generating power, and
consequently for all heating purposes.
Hotels and the like are paying now
for OIL according to recent quotations,
from 65 to 20 cents a barrel That
would make the oil-equivaent of a ton
of coal cost about 50. At the same time
30 per cent of the people of this city
have been warmed Oiterally and figur-
atively, by coal costing at their homes
an average of S15 ton. That is at the
rate of fraction more than 20 cents
sack. presumably Weighing 100
pounds, but usually SHY many
pounds.
If oil is so easily adaptable to heating
purposes on a large scale, why might
it not be adapted to like service on a
small scale? That is the question now
before the house in Los Angeles-be-
fore and within nearly all the houses
In the city. And the correlative ques-
ton, as submitted, implies a public
yearning for a means of making oil
serviceable for heating in all homes.
There is but little to hope for in the
way Of cheaper coal here at least in
the near future. The railway COM
panies have dead cinch' on the coal
market by reason of their control of
transportation.
The coal that we get in Los Angeles
comes mainly by railway from New
Mexico. The cost of the product at the
mines, as reported, is 81 a ton The
difference between that first cost price
and the figure paid for it by house,
keepers represents the charge for trans
portation and the expenses and profits
of middlemen. The railways, as usual,
take the lions share. 1t is said that for
a single carload of coal costing $50 at
the mine "the railways receive about
$225 for transporting it to Los Angeles"
And all this when fuel available for
almost any purpose excepting the heat
ing of our homes is literally at our doors
in unlimited quantity and on sale at
the rate of less than 50 for the heating
equivalent of a ton of coal.

OF the Norddeutscher Lloyd company,
an enterprise which has always been
well in the van in studying the needs
of the travelled. Herr Won HelmOt,
recognizing that the swift speed OF
modern steamers renders 1t not always
agreeable to sit about on deck, has MT
upon a plan for the provision of shell
ters. All you have to do when you
have placed your chair in position is to
touch q handle and down comes q
screen, which prooures for you at once
a coy corner and gives grateful smell
ter from the wind. You may enjoy the
fresh air without draught, and little
shelf, letting down from the screen,
will give room for tea tray or books.
The innovation is only an illustration
of the anxiety that Is shown to add to
the comfort of passengers, and to rem
der an Atlantic voyage agreeable.
Where IL will all end It Is impossible
to say. You can have everything done
for you on board the modern steam
ship.
If YOU are a person given to writing
letters you find a stenographer waiting
for you, ready to take them down and
to present them to you later on in

can take advantage of the Moro.

checks, whereby drafts payable in all
the principal cities can be secured. The
purser's office, too, the counterpart OF
the bureau of the modern hotel, affords
a safe deposit for the preservation of
valuables. There are those who say
that the possibilities of the great At
lantic liners are still by no means ex-
hausted, and that in many ways we are
destined to see further advance. But
even If things stop where they are, the
travelling public will have cause for
gratitude. for ocean travelling on the
Atlantic has not only lost near all its
terrors, but has in many ways become
