TEACHERS TOUR

n EADERS Of The Herald are voting
II. for twelve teachers who will
IL visit the Alaska ukon-Pacific eX-
position as guests Of this paper. The
exposition will be held at Seattle,
Wash, June 1 to October 10, 1909. It
viii cost s10OO0,O 900, and will be the
greatest enterprise of its nature which
the western coast has ever attempted.
To visit it will be a liberal additional
education to anyone. no matter how
well educated she or he may have been
before.
AS educators cannot be too well edu-
Gated, we think all who are interested
in education will agree with US a teach
ers' tour to the great exposition will
have a most beneficial effect, not only
on the teachers, but on the pupils who
win later receive the benefit of the
knowledge acquired by the teachers.
The announcement of the contest will
be found on another page. and with it
is a ballot-coupon. Write the name of
the teacher of your choice on this cou-
pom and send it to The Herald office.
Your candidate may be successful, and
"a vote is a vote" When it is so easy
to vote, use your ballot.
The exposition party will be COM
posed of six school teachers from Los
Angeles county-three from the city
and three from the county at large
outside the city: and one in each in
stance from San Bernardino, Orange,
Santa Barbara, Riverside. Kern and
Ventura counties.
Teachers form the most helpful class
in the community. They are never
overpaid for their services, and some
times they are underpaid. We owe
them debt of gratitude, and members
of the public, by voting for "delegates'
to the exposition, will do something to-
ward paying this debt. If you are in
terested in the success Of any teacher,
YOU should not be contented with send
ing in your own votes. You should
organize and conduct campaign.
Send or come to The Herald Office for
subscription blanks, and go to work
among your friends. AS yet it is "any-
body's contest" and hard work for any
candidate may put her among the for
tunate dozen.

FoREFATHERs' DAY

HyHIS is "Forefathers' day. Grand
old New England and every New
Il England society and every son of
New England in the United States will
celebrate it. 1t is a long time since
the breaking waves dashed high on
a stern and rockbound coast" and
if the Pilgrim fathers had been scared
by the rockbound coast or the dashing
breakers or the great trees tossing their
giant branches, it is hardly likely we
would have been in California today.
Every state in the Union is interested
in New England's "Forefathers' day."
not only because in every state of the
Union there are sons Of New England,
but because all Americans realize the
significance Of the work Of the great
hearted. dauntless. strong wiIled Fore
fathers, in the making Of the United
states.

SAYS CLAIM OF SUGGESTION
is A FORM OF HYPNoTlSM

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 17.-[Editor
Herald: Asbury Cecil evinces a dis
position to ooncede that mind is con-
trolling power. In order to be con-
WINGED we have got to have a clear
understanding and logical promise to
work from.
1t is illogical to reason that mind is
the intelligence of matter, for matter
has no intelligence, to be that it would
have to be in matter and therefore
under matters control.
The belief of intelligence in matter
is 1.-The one evil or evil one" which is
the error of the ages, and the cause
of every inharmonious experience. Hell
has its inception and continuation in
this concept.
If we have that mind (God) in us
which was also in Christ Jesus, which
meant a knowledge of his allneSs and
reasoning therefrom, therefore denial
of every other concept of life or action,
a prayer so grounded in faith and
demonstration that would enable us to
practice the Golden Rule and see golden
results follow we must proceed from
this basis, not with a theoretical carnal
or negative impulse but with scientific
conviction which brooks no sense of
opposition.
The mortal claim Of suggestion--the
semblance of mind or intelligence in
matter counterfeiting the omnipotence
and omniscience of mind is mild form
of hypnotism which in it's aggressive
or malicious forms is pure diabolism,
capable of untold evil, a corruption of
the truth which alone enables us ito
do unto others whatsoever We would
have them do unto u.s.
The forces imputed to matter men
toned by Asbury Cecil belong to mind,
but like the consciousness which sees
snakes In delerium their nature seems
at times perverted, and thus manifest
in phenomenal disturbances-so-ca
nature hypnotised by mortal conscious
ness, If 1 might so explain it. But
divine law always rights things, prov
ing evils temporarily. r. N.

Health officer Powers says germs

and not destroyed after they are in

common sense which characterizes all
of DR.. Powers teachings on sanitary
subjects. His language on the subject
is not scientific. There isn't a three
foot word in his review of the milk

COMES BY WAY OF PARIS
Rum0s Of Plot to Blow Up
American Warships.

Paris, Jan. 21.--The reports cabled
from Rio Janeiro that the Brazilian
authorities were warned from Paris
of possible attempt to blow up the
American battleship feet while in the
harbor there are true.
Some time ago certain suspicious
indicating the existence of plot to
destroy the whole or a portion of the
fleet, either at Rio Janeiro or in the
Straits of Magellan, were aroused here
and naturally were communicated to
Rio and Washington. A chartered
steamer was reported to have con-
veyed explosives for the use OF the
conspirators to Rio Janiero, arriving
there about the middle of December,
and John Fedher, whose name Is men
toned in the Rio dispatches, was one
of the men whose name was revealed
here as being implicated in the con-
spiracy. The alleged plot is supposed
to have some rather startling ramifi-
cations. but the evidence along this
line is far from conclusive and rests
chiefly upon the statement OF an indi-
vidual whose record was subsequently
proved to be anything but creditable.
Consequently the whole affair is re-
garded with much skepticism and in
deed the presumption has been raised
that II may have been a deliberately
concocted scare. In any event, ii Is
now believed here that If the plot
actually did exist the timely warning
and precautions taken have complete
ly frustrated the plans of the con
spirators at Rio Janeiro and COM
PEELED them to transfer their opera
lions further south, II not to abandon
them entirely. The latter hypothesis
Is considered here TO be the most
probable.

Cross-Examination of Evelyn Nesbit

New York, Jan. 22.-District Attor-

cross-examination of Mrs. Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw at the trial of her
husband has ended. The attor-

succeeded in placing In evidence
letter written by the defendant in
the fall of 1908, which completely cor

was to become his wife did tell him
the story Of her relations with Stan
ford White much as she has related
1t upon the stand at this and the for

Mr.. Jerome was much quieter In
his handling of young Mrs. Thaw on
the stand than formerly and his voice

filled the courtroom at preceding ses-
