FINDS IDEA OF SATAN TAKEN
FROM ANCIENT MYTHoLoGIEs

LOS ANGELES. April 21.-[Editor
Herald: I shall communicate what l
read about these figurative persons in
Dutch spiritual monthly, THE Glad
Tiding," written by a clergyman anu
based on history in the year 1887. OF
Satan he did not say anything. Moses
has introduced him to mankind, ac-
cording to the orthodox believers, as
an enemy of mankind. but to the
searchers of truth the symbol of temp
tation of the Egyptian mythology.
That writer says in his criticism OF
the history of Israel:
1.-The Jews brought from the Baby
lonian Punishment, except the law TO
be reborn again, which law was re-
corded in the holy scrolls of the tenn
pie, another idea, which they had not
had before, viz: of the devil, his do
monion and his angels, and the punish
ment of hell Through the different
descriptions of the resurrection of the
body, of the power of the devil, of the
punishments of hell, brought from Jul
daism into young Christendom and SO
mixed up in the New Testament with
the teaching of Jesus, they formed with
that an indivisible one. We know now
that 1t is an error of an impious origin;
but at the time when the Bible was &C
cepted in its whole as the only source
of truth and ruler of faith, these diff
ferent dogmas became parts of Chris
tendon.
1.-THE devil is a part of the Hindoo
trinity, named Seimuiti, representing:
Brahma, the creator; Diva, the pre-
server. and Vismuh, the destroyer
That Hindoo idol is struggled In the
Christian church; Brahma had to make
room for the Father; Diva for the Son,
and, whereas the devil or destroyer
could not sit on the same see as Father
and Son, the Holy Ghost is given that
place. That dogma of the trinity was
created at the Nicene council. See
Emanuel Swedenborg's work, "The
True Christian Religion"
From the above lines the reader sees
that Satan is something from the
Egyptian mythology, the devil from
that of the Hindoo. both things that
never existed in the flesh and only
find a home in unsound human brains.

BELIEVES SINGLE TAKERS
AND SOCIALISTS ARE WRONG

LOS ANGELES, April 22.-[Editor
Herald: In your issue of the goth inst.
~. H. s." takes the usual single tax
position that inventions and discoveries
that increase the productive power of
labor do not benefit the wage Garner;
that all economic gains through such
means merely increase the price or
rental value of land, the owners of
which are the sole beneficiaries, SO that
wages cannot rise above the low level
of subsistence"
The writer falls into the same error
as the so-called scientific" Socialists
who contend that all increase In wealth
due to Improvement in productive pro-
cesses is appropriated by the capital
list class who monopolize the machinery
of production. Both are wrong. 1t Is
true that the owners of the means of
production are enabled to levy, and do
levy, an enormous tribute on labor.
But, nevertheless, the condition of the
working class is one of slow but steady
Improvement. The worker has shared
in considerable degree in the benefits
due to inventions and discoveries that
increase wealth. Within "a century he
has shortened his hours of labor at
least one-third. His wages measured
by it's purchasing value in better food,
clothing and shelter. in educational
facilities, in ability to travel, In i'm
proved sanitation that has materially
heightened life, and In hundred other
ways that make life more worth living
has-counting the reduction in his
hours of labor-probably quadrupled.
While the rich are growing richer the
poor are not growing poorer. The
standard of living has been raised. We
are finding ways to reach the owners of
unearned wealth. We can and will
long before the ideals of the single
taxer or the Socialist are realized sue
coed in reducing the exploitation of
labor by progressive taxes on land, in
comes and inheritances.
1 see no reason why organized labor
by wise political action should not be
able by such a system of taxation,
coupled with progressive industrial CO.
operation, to appropriate all wealth
above the reasonable wages of super
ntendence and the replacement of cap
ital.

SHORTHAND

NM HAT is the meaning of the clos
wv ing words of the title of senate
bill No. 65S, signed by the gov
ernor? 1t reads: IAN act to amend
section 270 of the code of civil procedure
of the state of California, and to add a
new section to be known as section
274b, relating to Photographic report
en-" The Pitmanic system of short
hand claims the name photography
1t is a photography, but it is not pho
biography to the exclusion of all Other
schools and systems.
Modern times have seen the produc-
ton or evolution of several systems OF
shorthand writing, which are as pho
netic" as Pitman s-some of them much
more phonetic than the advanced re-
porting style of Pitmans which de-
ponds on position and on differentiated
consonantal outlines.
Now, because these are not founded
on the Pitman school of photography
and the Pitman detached vowel alpha
bet, are their writers to be excluded
from reporting work conducted under
the code of civil procedure? If one
system of shorthand is to be used ex-
clusively, would it not be we'll to APP
point a committee of experts to choose
the system?

OIL

ONE of the greatest industries in
ID California is the oil industry. 1t
" is a constant source of wealth,
and is assisting materially in building
up the state. 1t is long time now
since the first oil boom was hailed with
the usual cold eastern criticism, well,
it can't last" and still there is a steady
production. On hand on February 2S
were 15,7737OO barrels. Both March
and April will show increases. More
big fields may yet be found, and the
present belt will be extended.
California is fortunate in possessing
more natural resources than any other
state in the Union. There are crops
that grow above ground and crops
that grow below. The gold of Cali
fornia is we'll known all over the
world, and the golden fruit of Califor-
mia is equally we'll known. California
oranges are better than those of Eu-
rope, California lemons are far supe-
rior to those of Europe. California
grapes are finer than the grapes of
France and Switzerland. And even
plain, prosaic California vegetables
SurpaSS tnOSe grown III any
other part of the country In Cali
fornia industrial development is still
young. The population of this state is
meager compared with what it will be
in a few years, and industrial develop
ment depends to a great extent on
population and the capital that comes
with population.
This is the only state in the Union
that combines with industrialism and
with money making opportunities a
glorious out of doors Innate, and
scenery unsurpassed on the American
continent and certainly far more pic
turesque and attractive than that
which may be observed on any of the
travelled ways of Europe Citizens
should redouble their efforts to let
the world know all about California.
The country is not overcrowded.
There is plenty of room. There is
plenty of opportunity. And If citizens
continue to pull together and work in
enthusiastic harmony in the future, as
they have in the past, the biggest
achievements in the wonderful history
of our great state have yet to be re-
corded.

HYPOCRISY EXPOSED

q OUTHERN PACIFIC and allied
- interests have not been cunning
~ enough to play a hypocritical
game without exposing their duplicity.
The tidelands suits, the settlement of
which is of great financial and COM
mercial public Importance, are evident
ly being used in an attempted effort to
embarrass consolidation. Southern Pa
cif1c and other interests that are inim-
ical to Greater Los Angeles and San
Pedro harbor put every obstacle posi-
bic in the way of a decision in these
suits, which involve property valued
for harbor purposes at fully $4,000, 900.
Having LOST on all the points they
advanced, the defendants asked time
in which to prepare an answer.
The time asked for was cut in two
by Judge Bordwell, who granted thirty
days instead of the sixty asked for.
Procrastination indicates either I'M
preparedness or unwillingness to meet
an issue. In the present instance 1t
may be set down to unwillingness, and
to desire to hinder and hamper con-
| solidation. Public interests as usual
are menaced by corporation interests,
and again there is presented the IA
miliar spectacle of a corporation in
dorsing the famous remark made by
Commodore Vanderbilt when some one
asked him, in the midst of his plans
for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of himself and
his railroad system, where the public
came in.
Corporation interference and at
tempted interference with the free har-
Dor are not startling or surprising, be-
cause the corporation attitude toward
the development of San Pedro is well
known. When the history of Southern
California is reviewed by the histo-
rian of the future, he will comment on
the fact that Greater Los Angeles made
herself the wonder city of the west and
the commercial metropolis of the Pa
cific by a constant fight for rights that
were perpetually menaced by a corpo-
ration whose antagonism to popular
interests, to progress, to public pros
perity and to Southern California be-
came proyerbial.

CAUSES VS.. POLITICS

N interesting turn was given the
n tariff discussion at Washington
IA by the controversy between Sena-
tors Bailey and Aldrich as to the part
taken by Democrats in the preserva-
ton of the Union. Mr.. Aldrich de-
clared he went into the Union army
before he was 81 and had been Re
publican ever since. He added that
practically none of the Union soldiers
north of Mason and Dixon's line had
been Democrats after the war. Mr.
Bailey thereupon made a statement
the truth of which is indisputable, and
which, in the interest of Americanism
and fair play, cannot be too often re-
peated or too widely known.
He said great injustice had been done
to hundreds of thousands of Demo-
Gratis who had come to the aid of the
north in the great struggle. There can
be no doubt many Democrats disap-
proved heartily the social condition and
institution which at that time put
southern industrialism on a peculiar
basis, building up, as it were, house
on sand.
1t is equally true there are Repub-
licans today who disapprove existing
conditions graphically portrayed in that
fine play, 1.-THE Dollar Mark" and by
the Patten raid on bread illustrated
with force that should be effectual in
bringing about a cure (but WON'T.
Approval or disapproval of unfair
methods in industrialism or of rank
discrimination against that vast por-
ton of the population sometimes called
"the poorer classes" and sometimes 1.-THE
toiling Masses is not matter of po-
litical partisan allegiance. There is
little real political hostility in the
United States Personal animosities
are almost unknown. Honest differ
ences of opinion are common, but
throughout the country generally it is
the cause rather than the machine that
calls out the vote-a fact which has
been illustrated signally in recent po-
litical events in Los Angeles

SAN PEDRO SHIPPING

- EJOICINGS over the first voyage
Il, of the Admiral Sampson are JUS
~ tifiable. Within a few years a
big fleet of vessels viii ply between
San Pedro and the principal seaports
of the world, and a single voyage or
the addition of a single ship to the
great mercantile marine of the south,
ern Pacific coast will not attract much
attention. But these are the pioneer
days of harbor development, and we
are to have the good fortune of wit
Messing the growth and expansion of
one of the greatest seaports in the
Greater Los Angeles.
San Pedro will be the principal Pa
cifc port of call of many steamships
engaged in freighting and passenger
service. With the completion of the
Panama canal, and the beginning OF
bioceanic traffic. shipping opportunities
will be greatly increased, but even
under present conditions San Pedro
harbor will be one of the principal
harbors of the western world. Orien-
tai commerce has unbounded possibili-
ties, and the Australasian trade will
be easily developed.
The countries of Australasia for
long time have been casting yearning
glances at the Pacific coast of the
United States, and the enthusiastic
welcome given to our fleet by the an
tipodeans expressed a good deal more
than "hands across sea- It ex-
pressed a wish that the commercial
development of Australasia should pro-
coed under the fraternal influences of
the United States; and showed Aus
tralians and New Zealanders are eager
to establish friendship an trade rela-
lions with people who speak their
language. Steamship lines operating
vessels between San Pedro and Aus
tralasian ports will create an "en-
tente" which will be much more "cor-
dale" than any of the formal arrange
ments for official friendship estab-
lished by suave dip1omac..

AMERICANISM

A DMIRAL EVANS says 1t would
II take a purely American party
- with a purely American platform
to get out his political vote. There are
many citizens who in voting are guided
not by partisan considerations but by
Americanism. A revival of American
ism will be as beneficial to the United
States as the revival of industry was.
School children learn some history, but
not enough. If the history of the
United States were principal part Of
an American education the result
would be revolutionary, because people
would demand pure Americanism and
undefiled" and would refuse to tolerate
conditions unheard of and undreamed
of by the men who believe that in
founding the United States they were
providing refuge for the oppressed of
all nations. In citizenship there was
included originally an opportunity to
make a living and at the same time
enjoy liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness. The very first and most impor-
tant part of the guarantee, life" is
most woefully neglected in the United
States
In many parts of the country and at
various trades it is from time to time
hard to make living, while the sacri-
flee of human. life in preventable big
disasters involving many victims and
preventable accidents involving one at
a time is becoming more appalling
every year.
The first care of an American party
with a purely American platform
would be to assert the Declaration of
Independence, the Constitution and
other documents In the political bible of
the republic, which contain neither
jokes nor "jokers." say what they
mean, mean what they say, and should
be lived up to.
