Whether the thought of an after
life be only legend come down
from ancient days, or whether the fix
ed trust clinging to the spirit of man
kind be a symbol of the greatest
truth in the universe, we do not
know. But throughout the history
of the race there ever has been an in
domitable force within the heart of
man, battling the power of speech
and thought, striving to break its
bonds, and weakly manifesting it,
self in creeds, customs, rituals and
formulas, which, in their final anal
ysis, were voiced by the thief, breath
ing his last upon Golgotha-I be-
lieve.'
1--WE may well conceive that an In
finite Wisdom has decreed that the
conception of immortality shall dwell
forever in the faith and affection of
men rather than in the category of
revealed and demonstrated fact; for
by faith and love the lives and char
acters of men are disciplined and en-.
nobled. But, however, this may be,
the eyes of modern science are peer
ing deep into the shadow, and theiI
message to the world is hopeful BY
the simple law of the conservation
and persistence of energy they teach
us that energy may change its form,
but never perish. The great physical
forces of the earth are constantly
changing their forms, but they never
cease to exist.
Life is the highest type of energy
within our ken, and personality is
| the most persistent form of energy
we know Then who will say thai
life and personality constitute the
one great exception to an otherwise
universal law? If the smallest seq
ment of a circle, visible to the eye Of
a mathematician, enables him to con
struct the whole circumference; il
one bone of fish in Agassizs hand
enabled him to define the whole or.
ganism, who will say that from one
clear law of the universe we may moi
project an elemental concept OF the
after life?

HELD THEIR
LODGE OF SORROW
Impressive Services in Tonopah Sunday in
Honor of Dead Elks-Hugh Brown Paid
Glowing and Heartfelt Tribute to the
Memory of the Late Governor Sparks.

According to a beautiful annual
custom of the Elks, the local lodge
on Sunday held their lodge of sor-
row, in. order to pay their respects to
and revere the memory of brother
lodgmen who have gone to the great
beyond. The services, which were
held in the pavilion, were largely at
tended, and were most impressive
throughout. There was number of
excellent and suitable selections by a
double quartet, number of memoir
ial addresses by prominent members
of the Elks lodge, of which the adj
dress by Hon. Hugh Brown, being in
part a eulogy of the late Governor
Sparks, who was an Elk, was the
most notable. Mr. Brown touched
the heart strings of every one in, the
hall, his address so excellent that we
give its context, although put in cold
type 1t will not carry the sentiment
it bore when delivered by the lips of
an orator who felt, and put into his
expression, most sincere regard for
and admiration of, the late John
Sparks. His address was as follows:
Exalted Ruler, My Brother Elks,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
"You who have seen the dramati-
cation of Dickens Tale of Two
Cities will recall, in the closing act
when the jailer called Number 40,

immortal plan, and only surmises
dimly what lies beyond the Silent
sea.

ity may claim us for it's very own; itS
may bite to the bone and cut to the
brain; it may leave us stripped, DESC
late and hopeless as the mad old king
on the storm-tossed shore in Britain.
Yet. there is part of each of us that
is beyond the reach of wreck, con-
fiict, disaster and decay.
/" But IL, the human standing at
bay,
Who am not told Gods secrets; who
learn
And unlearn in sweat and tears,
it is who feel the hoof-beats of the
years
Trampling out of my bosom
Its very heart-down to the dust.
Yet from this dust / arise,
l arise and go to God,
And ask again my eternal questions;
And though he answers me naught,
Though he leaves me to suffer
Me, part of Him
To suffer alone and apart from Him,
He gives me somehow, somewhere, to
know
That, though the hoof-beats of the
years
Beat out my heart from my bosom,
Down, down to the dust,
Yet they can not kill my soul
The fiame-like exuberant soul that
He made
And sowed with the seed of His
Nor cut it off forever from Him.
Many high aims and aspirations
may challenge the minds of men here
on earth: The amelioration of physi-
cal pain; the development and i'm
provement of political institutions
and instrumentalities of government;
the growth of civil and criminal law;
the nurture of new vegetable forms;
the conquest of the air; the blossom
ing of the desert; the determination
of the locus of the magnetic pole,
the breeding of the sturdier infancy;
the search for the typhus germ; the
rectification of our commercial ethics
These and many other great human
concerns engross the profoundest
thought and the noblest endeavor Of
the race. But if, as we believe, there
be a life after this, may we moi
pause; pause to contemplate its pos
sibilities and give heed to our prepar
alton for it's realities? If we shall
see the great Law Giver VINO brought
the tablets out of Sinai; if we shall
meet him who built the temple O
Israel; If we shall walk and talk will

Steamship lines will ply between the

another great chapter in the marvellous
history of Southern California will be

be to bring about conditions which will

EVOLUTION

TT is somewhat astonishing to read
that In the Unitarian church there
Il is a revolt against conservatism.
For the sake of principle, and what
may without offense be described as
theological radicalism, the Rev. e.
Calvert Smoot of the Second Unitarian
church Of San Francisco has left his
church and resigned from the min
istry.
He thinks the church is not keeping
pace with evolution. is not responding
t scientific advance and modern re-
search and enlightenment. "rhe old
order changeth, yielding place to new,"
DR.. SmooL says, in effect, land God
fulfils himself in many ways. but the
orthodox churchmen insist that God
fulfils himself only in one way, that
1t Is to say, the way defined and de-
scribed by them" The operation Of
evolution is as apparent In affairs Of
state as of church. In politics as well
as religion there is a spirit of unrest,
of desire for progress. The Republican
party, in endeavoring to thwart the
operation of this spirit and the ad-
vancement of the nation along the
lines of Americanism, is inviting dis
aster to its organization, and it is sure
ly far better that disaster should be-
fall the G. o. P. than that the country
should suffer.

DECLARES CLERGY ARE MOST
ACTIVE, BUT IN WRONG WAY

LOS ANGELES, June 29.-[Editor
Herald: believe that the contro-
versy that has been going on the last
few days In your estimable Public
Letter Box between Mr.. Robbins and
the several correspondents who have
taken the other side as to the part
that the church is playing in the dis
cussion OF social questions is one that
deserves the closest consideration.
All the world is discussing social
questions these days, and think the
measure of their assistance Is not their
activity but the intelligence with
which they conduct the discussion.
1t Is probably true, as Mr.. Robin
says, that the church does more talk
ing on these subjects than does even
organized labor itself. But what sort
of talking does it do? Rev. Mr.. Henry
for example, gave us lecture on
"Ciyic Righteousness" in which he
had a great deal to say as to how the
poor could reform their bad habits.
but when one of your correspondents
remarks that nothing was said about
the wrongs done to labor he and his
fellow ministers are as silent as the
grave.
The whole of the active part that the
clergy. who are professional takers,
are playing in this discussion Is along
the lines of restriction; blue laws that
shall make the people abstain from
this and that. 1t is a "reminiscences
of Puritanism that many Of us think
would be the greatest curse inagin-
able to this country, and is entirely
opposed to the doctrines Of liberty in
which some of us still believe.
I am glad to see you calling atten-
tjop to what Mr.. Bryan has to say on
the subject of individualism. which
bears directly on all these problems. z

BECAUSE THEY GO TO CHURCH

Los ANGELES, June 29.-[Editor
Herald: / notice In the Letter Box
the question Of why laboring. men do
not go to church. ! would like to enter
this controversy. I have found the
average day laborer is pretty much OF
a natural sinner. He does not care
whether he Is saved or not. The time
that he should spend praying for his
soul or in attending services he puts
in drinking, talking politics with a
neighbor or out hunting with gun to
kin some of Gods creatures. The
laboring man for many years has per-
sistentIy lodged the church, which has
done everything possible to uplift him.
To the church he owes whatever good
there is In him today. / believe rich
people are rich because most OF them
are religious and strive to attend
church regularly. Carnegie once said
he owed his fortune to his religion.
Look at Rockefeller-how lavishly he
has donated to the Christian religion.
No wonder God blesses these men and
gives them millions Of dollars and all
the comforts of life. 1t pays TO be re-
iigious. 1t would pay the working
man. but he is blind. He Is evidently
too ignorant of the harm he does him

MAKES VIGOROUS PROTEST
AGAINST VACCINATION RAIDS

LOS ANGELES, June 29.-[Editor
Herald: Are we living in a free coun-
try or are we not? One or more OF the
city papers of Saturday contained the
following dispatch from Chicago:
Vaccination by force. Chicago health
OFFICERS raid district, treat nearly 1000
in smallpox fight"
That dispatch ought to stir the blood
of every patriotic America. The dis
patch further states that doors were
forced open and entire families vac
cinated." II 1t was q well estaplisned
thing that vaccination secured to the
Individual immunity from the scourge
but 1t is not by any means so estab-
Iished-its would still be an outrage
that ought to arouse every lover OF
liberty. 1t is well established and
long cherished principle, the Anglo
Saxon liberty, a mans house is MS
castle and cannot be entered except IN
case where grave crime has been COM
mitted by some one concealed IN the
house defying arrest by the proper OF
ficers of the law. But in this case IN

WORKING MOTHERS

q INCE 1t has been shown that emf
~. grafton from the United States is
~ increasing, while immigration Is
falling off, 1t is of more importance
than ever before in the history OF the
nation that proper care should be taken
of the women and children of this
country. It is a crime to deprive pa
rents of the opportunity of earning
money with which to feed and clothe
their children, who are children of the
patton. It is crime to take the chill
dren of the nation away from school
and deliver them to the INSCRIPTIONS
wretches who put money getting above
every other consideration.
Uncle Sam must become gallant
enough to take care of the women and
children If he wishes to continue to be
the proud owner of land that is "the
land of the free and the home of the
brave"
There is not much freedom about
child slavery and there is not much
bravery in allowing conditions to exist
which produce child slavery. Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty, and the
manner in which the most vital inter-
ests Of the country have been mem
aced during the last ten years show
that the people cannot afford to in
dulge In even forty winks. While the
authorities on the subject are calling
attention to the fact that immigration
is falling off and emigration taking its
place, it is timely to say a word for
the mothers and children of the nation.
Since we can no longer depend on immi-
grafton for increase Of population we
must follow the example of older civ"
ilizations and maintain a birth rate
which will be greater than the death
rate. 1t is of the utmost importance
to save the babies. In California, ow-
ing to fine climatic conditions, there is
an exceptionally low infant mortality.
We have the best place in the world
for rearing families and for taking care
of old people. California babies are
the healthiest on earth. Old people in
California acquire the habit of living,
and 1t is not uncommon to meet Wig
orous, active and clear-mlnded citizen
who is over 90 But in the east there
are many mothers who must work in
factories and mills. California mothers
may well send across the continent
their sympathy with those less fortu-
nate sisters. Eastern publications are
urging American mill owners to follow
the example of French mill owners and
provide places where working mothers
may retire to nurse their babies during
business hours. We venture to make a
suggestion which we think is more to
the point. Let Americans elect Dem
