To His Dear Heavenly Father.
No. l..

Copyright by F. H. H., 190S.).
My Dear Heavenly Father-My burros
name is Ha-suse that means Jesus in Span
ish. We didn't name him, but the Mexican
we bot him of, already had him named and
tho papa don't like Christians very well, he
said it was very good name for him. Is
he any relation to the blessed savior? He
is so patient that l didn't no but he might
be, and he was born in stall of stable to
but he likes his father and mother and his
brothers and sisters. At least | guess they
are Papa says all the burros in this county
are half brothers and sisters. How many
half brothers and sisters has your Jesus?
OF course Hasuse can't talk but he noes
more than Joe about lots of things some
of the time and more than the majority
of Los Angeles people about some things, all
the time; for he would not go to the Owens
desert, to get alkali water to drink. Why
do you call them asses in heaven? We call
them jackasses here in Los Angeles, but
their real names Is burrO. Papa says an
ass means fool Have you any fools in
heaven? He does not think Hasuse could
ever learn to talk; he says Baalam's ass,
was a jimmy because she talked so much.
Will Hasuse be jimmy If he goes there
when he dies? Joe says there is no sext in
heaven and that there is no men and wimen
there but they are all wimen and have hair
wings. Papa says they are all asses, but
he was not in very good humor when he
SAID IL. lie nad Just neard ABOUT the stature
of Steve White, that the Cathlicks are going
to put up here. Do you know Steve? Is he in
heaven now with Durant and Orchard?
Papa new him here, before he was purified
by death Did he wash in the blud of Jesus
before he went into set with the purified
there? Papa says If they would lean the
stature up against a telegraf pole and fix
it so that beer froth would run out of it's
mouth down over it's wiskers and clothes
on to the sidewalk, it would look very nat
ural. Do Durant and Steve sit on the same
bench? They are both from California and
must be glad to see each other. | wonder
when you are expecting Bob Burdette. Are
there any others there from Los Angeles?
What kind of liker do you use in heven
for the blud of Jesus. They use red wine
here but in Nebraska where papa lived
once, they used whiskey every day after
the regular meeting and all the old pillars
wood commune and have grand awakening
and you could hear them enthize half across
the township and they would keep it up
till the whiskey was all gone. Was it
whisky that David drank when he danced
naked before you and the wimen? Will he
have to ware his epod when Comstock gets
there2 What kind of P o. regulations do
you have there? Can you send a naked
picture of Jesus thru the males here. Well
l must go to hang may basket now.

Western Writer Defends lincoIns Memory
Against Present Republican Assaults.
(By George Leeson.)

(By George LeesOn.)
The most uniform characteristic of man
is his desire to securely enjoy perpetual hap
piness. Mostly by ruling his neighbor, with
or without his consent. This his political
ignorance fights for, pays for, votes for and
dies for Religiously, he as ignorantly fights
for it, pays for 1t, persecutes for it, prays
for it, and dies for it. Yet he has not left
period in history where the average life
was worth the thraldom and tribulations
of woe it cost.
Why are such Affections confined to the
animals artifcially clothed, who claim to be
the wisest and the noblest of all.
Orthodox theology teaches, that mans de-
pravity is inevitable, it being his share of
Adam and Ewes retribution.
Rational scientists, repudiate this theo
logical theory, as not being in accord with
moral justice, or, sustained by credible au
thority. Natural causes produce the effects
complained Of Conditions are man made
Mans ignorance is mans enemy.
Hence mans inability, or disability, to
better his conditions, depends on the truth
or falsity of his being divinely ordained de-
PRAYED. So long as even minority believe
themselves victims of depravity, whether
true or false, such belief will produce de-
PRAYED conditions. Like begets like, hence
the issue should be joined, viz-Orthodoxy
VS.. Heterodoxy, and prosecuted to logical
demonstration. If mans depravity is divine

Thus far history characterizes the truth
of divine depravity. The only remaining
question is, does mans depravity result from
mortal or immortal divines?
Should the divinity of mans depravity be
disproved, then man would abandon his
prOdigal career of national expansion and
factional strifes. His mental vision would
broaden into a new birth of democratic
equalities, his philanthropy would inspire
more uniform reciprocity of democracy, that
first lit the lamp of Church, State, and
Human, Liberty. 1t gave hope to the OPP
pressed of every cline; 1t made American
Democracy the famous founder Of the nat
ural rights of man. But alas, what has be-
came of this Democratic prodigy of
Americas greatness during the past 40
years? Has 1t also became a victim of de-
pravity that now permits the natural rights
of man to be destroyed, by Republican,
Jack-o-Lantern delusion of sophisms? This
divnely ordained depravity has transformed
of the peoples prosperity, into non-taxable
interest bearing bonds. Which with the
demonetizing of silver gave us almost con-
tinuous, 20-year panic; gave to spectators
and corporations, without a dollars con-
sideration, a body of land equal to four
states as large as Colorado; increased the
value of government bonds, in violation of
original contract $500,000,000.

New York July 1I.-Reports from
Delaware and Maryland yesterday in
dictated the peach crop in those states
this season would be bigger than in
many years. The railroads have esti-

will be 1,779,030 baskets this year and
the traffic managers of the railroads

New York, Oct 31.--.Charging
that the Republican party has con
spired with the corporate interests
of the country to secure the election
of Taft by deal through which
money was given for promises BY
Republican party managers that the
s2g,0OO,000 fine will be fixed up
National Chairman Mack, of the
Democratic party today gave cut a
statement, commenting on Johu ID.
Rockefeller's support of Taft. He
said
"The Standard Oil has landed
where everybody knew It would
land. Mr.. Rockefeller held back for
bargain. and got what he wanted.
The deal will be good for over 1907
900 more votes for Mr.. Bryan in
quarter of a million more votes in
the country.
The Republican party will get a
good big can through the deal
can't specify the exact amount, but
It is certain that when the bargain
was struck, both sides got whit they
were after. The Taft managers got
the money, and the Standard OIL
got the promise.
"rhe s29,000.O00 fine will be
fixed up someway, and several 9TH

arises, is Taft good to br with Rock
