CORN SYRUP Is THE CORRECT NAME

Washington, Feb. 1i-An important
question in the administration Of the pure
food law was settled to-day in a decis-
ion made public by Secretaries Wilson,
Cortelyou and Straus, 1t bears upon the
labelling of syrup. The decision follows:
1--WE nave given careful consideration to
the labelling of the thick Viscous syrup
obtained by the incomplete hydrolysis of
the starch of corn and composed essen
TALLY Of dextrose. maltese and extrine.
In our opinion 1t is lawful to label this
syrup as corn syrup and II to the
corn syrup there is added a smal per-
centage Of refner's syrup the mixture,
in our judgment, is not misbranded If la
belled corn syrup with cane flavor"

MIND AND MATTER

TT NPREJUDICED students may take
kindly to this definition of Chris
" tan Science, that it is a Christian
consciousness of the power of spirit or
mind over matter. DIR. Otto Won der
Pfordten, a German scientist, has made
series of experiments which incls
dentally throw light on some OF the
fundamental premises of the Christian
Science argument. DR.. Won der Pford-
fen has shown that the action of cleo
tricty on the human body may be
modified or even neutralized by the
mind.
1t has been noticed and noted that
electricians who when asleep have
touched dangerous live wires have suf-
fered no injury except burn. When
we remember that Jesus said faith
would remove mountains and that
achievement would reward any man
who said / WILL and really believed
he would and acted as If he believed
it. we find 1t less difficult to under
stand why electricians who have made
I'D their minds that no harm can come
to them can touch without danger
parts of machinery to ascertain wheth-
er there is g. current in them, while
unintentional contact with currents
less powerful will prove fatal. FAITH
and absence of fear can positively con-
troll electricity. FEAR and the absence
of faith can and do give electricity

inRS.

SAYS SEVERE PUNISHMENT
DOESN'T PREVENT CRIME

LOS ANGELES, June 11.-[Editor
Herald: I have been much interested
in the Letters from the People" re-
garding crime, its punishment, etc..
am glad some people are becoming
awakened on that very important sub
ject If capital punishment and long
Sentences exert a deterrent effect upon
crime, then why all this cry about more
and larger jails and penitentiaries, for
do we not have all the deterrent
methods to be found in any state In
this county, including the straitjacket.
which is more torturing than hundred
Deaths?
The prior conviction" law has sent
many an innocent man back TO his
gloomy cell, but it makes the pathway
of the detective easy, for II he can get
hold of an lexicon" anywhere within
twenty miles of the scene OF crime
he has no trouble in securing a con-
viction. If a man has paid the .dept
should it be forever held against him
Our present trial ana jury systems
are a farce of which we have recently
had some examples. Has justice spread
her wings and flown to some faraway
strand? Pages might and should be
written on this subject, that those VINO
are at ease may awaken.
Perhaps no guilt your prisoner knows
Although for crime arraigned.
And proofs may cluster thickly round
BY circumstance maintained
He may be innocent and stand
Before his Makers sight
spotless one, more pure than you,
Who think you act the right.
And can you give him life again.
Or mete him right for wrong,
If future time should prove the guilt
May somewhere else belong?

HARBoR DAY

an JULY 4, at San Pedro, Los An
geles and San Pedro will unite in
" a grand celebration of Harbor Day.
Frank Virgins is the secretary of
chamber of commerce committee which
is making arrangements for big bene-
fit performance at Temple auditorium
next Wednesday afternoon. The money
raised by this performance will be de-
voted to financing the transpacific yacht
race from San Pedro to Honolulu, the
start of which will be the main feature
of the Harbor Day celebration. The
yacht race will attract the attention of
all the civilized world. There is not a
newspaper printed anywhere on the
globe which will not publish facts con-
corning the transpacific yacht race.
There is not ainewspaper or periodical
which will not contain references to the
merits of San Pedro harbor, and many
of them will recall the visit of the fleet,
and show that an entire navy could be
anchored safely within the San Pedro
breakwater. The start of the yacht
race will serve to drive home and rivet
the fact of which fasteners and Euro
peans are gradually becoming aware,
that Southern California possesses ex-
cellent harbor facilities, not surpassed
on any other coast in the country or
in the world, and that one of the best
and safest harbors in California, the
United States or the world is at San
Pedro,

RULE BY MAJORITY AND
MINORITY ALIKE CONDEMNED

LOS ANGELES, June 10.-[Editor
Herald: Mr. McKinnon in his letter
published today ana headed Majority
Rule Is Better Than Minority Rule"
says that l voice 1.-The anticipatory
growl of the minority" Yes; I am
growing for the rights, or liberty, of
the minority.
Whether the ignorant majority is bet
ter fitted to rule than is the enlight-
ened minority does not concern me, as
I am opposed to all rule of one man by
another man.
An example from Mr.. McKinnon's
own party will prove the absurdity and
injustice of majority rule. After a fierce
fight on some Of the questions brought
forward at the recent Socialist conven-
ton in Chicago the propositions carried
by a bare one or two votes. NOW, are
the delegates who were outvoted con-
WINGED of the righteousness or desira-
bility of the policies adopted because
there was that slender majority against
them? If they are, 1t shows that they
are not profound thinkers. 1t they are
not convinced, then they must pretend
to be, or they will get what Mr.. Riddle
got for the first offense, and be kicked
out of the party for the second.
If the minority was right, and yet is
compelled to advocate what the major
will it be able to convince the majority
of its fallacy?
To me 1t is mental prostitution to join
the other side for no other reason than
that 1t has one or two more in numbers,
and to deprive the minority OF advocat-
ing what 1t believes to be true is to
make crooked politicians of its mem
bers.
If Mr.. McKinnop were being tried for
his life would he be satisfied to be
hanged If the majority of the jury so

THE DOODLE DEES

TVERY day the Independence league
II becomes smaller. Every day it
~ makes less noise in the world. It's
shrinkage is one of the signs Of the
times. Every man who thinks is well
aware this is a critical period in Ameri-
can history, and no one is in mood to
tolerate anything characterized by the
word nonsense" which. like charity,
covers a multitude of sins and of sin
ners.
The country is asked to decide
whether it will return to the first prin-
ciples of Americanism and re-estahlish
prosperity on a permanent basis by Sc
curing conditions which will assure the
greatest good for the greatest number
or whether it will approve the career
of a party which, drunken with power,
has plunged the country into disas-
trous panic, caused distress and starva-
ton in the big cities of the east, robbed
two million children of their education,
compelled white men to take Japanese
wages or be displaced by Jap labor, ana
performed such fantastic tricks before
for they see that a continuance of Re
publican power is a menace to the
stability of American institutions. They
see Socialist ideas steadily gaining con-
troll of the minds Of the people. Moth
ing in the reign of Republicanism is
more significant and startling than the
advance of Socialism, with it's advocacy
of an unknown experiment to take the
placs of known conditions. 1t is ap-
parent that times are at hand which
| will try mems souls. Therefore it is
not to be wondered at that the doodle
dees have not attracted much atten-
ton. Self respecting citizens cannot
turn aside from their responsibilities
to listen to the irritating. squeaking
noises of the penny pipes of Hearst.
