amt the use Of it. We commend a
man for savin' his dollars, but If every
man were to save to the very closest
life would hardly be worth Twin.
That's where an abundance of money
comes in as virtue whereas a little
money might be an evil. When we have
great deal we are inclined to spend,
and this makes others prosperous"
VERY true" admitted the professor,
''but don't you believe that in Ameri-
ca the present struggle for money is
about to ruin the country"
when men race at full speed for
money they drop out some that is al
ready in their pockets, and those who
pick it up profit by it And. when the
end Of the mad race is about reached,
the racer halts, draws a long breath
and then decides to build q college or
found q library. He wants to leave q
footprint. He wants to be remem-
bered by the racers who are to come
after him."
"Ah," sighed the professor. 'but
how about those who are run over
whose lives are crushed out? How
about the millions that are ground
down? How about the man who il
not willing that labor should have its
duet"

then he may become blessin'." old

the nest, with an oil stove at his side
and tea kettle of water boiling away
on the oil stove. He was like moth
zer to those eggs, and it was most al
fecting to hear him while he had the
bottle in his hands, filling it and say
ing: Nov, now, dearies, don't be i'm
patient, daddy will have mudder full
of hot water In minute, and then
mudder will cuddle dearies up again"
s., The eggs seemed to understand the
love Philo Gubb was showering on
them, too Of course an egg can't
show it's affection very we'll. Next to
a china door knob an egg is about the
dumbest uneffusive thing there is, but
those eggs used to lie there and smile
no, not smile-they used to lie there
and look up at-no, they didn't look
up-anyway, they used to lie there.
They used to lie there as quiet as IL
brick-bats. They were just placidly
happy. as you might say. Care free,
knowing Philo would take good care
of them and protect them.
Well, one egg~got broken! 1t was
nearly the death Of Philo, and. only
the fact that there were IL left kept
him alive. He just couldn't allow him
self to die Of grief when there were
II motherless eggs depending on him,
90 he braced up and tried to hide his
sorrow, and kept the hot water bottle
warm ~ - 49,
The day those eggs Matched out was
THE gladdest in. the life Of Philo Cub.
He was a proud man, I can tell you!
He gave each one name as it
,pecked its way out. The first he
:, called Eeny. and although he tried
TO be impartial anyone could see he
liked this eldest q little the best. The
next one he named Meeny, and the
next Cratky.a The others. as they

LEAGUE OF JUSTICE

NY THE establishment of a League
Il of Justice, non-political and ex-
~ plicitly barred by it's constitution
from participation in political
movements, the cause of good citizen
ship will be helped, and the menace to
American liberties of strategic wealth
allied with corrupt politics will be re-
moved. The League of Justice is an
association of citizens formed for the
purpose of focusing the peoples atten-
ton upon the danger that most seri-
ously threatens American institutions
today-corruption in public office and
lowered standards of public life. De-
plorable indeed has been the recent
history of many American municipali-
ties. It has seemed as if graft had run
riot. debauching, corrupting, running.
Says the Liberator a weekly publ
cation issued by the league, 1.-THE his
tory of almost every municipality In
the nation reveals the fact that public
utility corporations are accustomed fe-
loniously to acquire a city's privileges;
that jury bribing is of common occur
renee; that bribery of public officials
has come to be regarded as a venial
incident in a business career; and that
when a crime has been traced to the
wealthy offender he has been able to
call to his aid, in his efforts TO evade
justice, the rich as a class, the purchas-
able press, and many of the supposed
leaders of the communicate short, to
corrupt public opinion"
To preach and practice civic morality,
to dare to think straight and act hon
estly to aspire to a broad and unselfish
state sense, and so to help in the re-
creation of American ideals, are the
work and hopes of the league. And as
the graft prosecution of San Francisco
is an effort to punish criminals of all
classes who have trafficked in public
honor, the League of Justice supports
and indorses it.
Los Angeles is asked to take local
and practical interest in the league, and
to participate in the great national
campaign that will be waged for
the preservation of our liberties
and to secure to ourselves Justice and
the perpetuation of our republic" All
citizens interested in good citizenship
and true Americanism should attend a
mass meeting which will be held at
Simpson auditorium Saturday evening,
when Mayor Taylor of San Francisco
will be present, and the purposes of the
league will be explained fully and
frankly, with the object of the immedi-
ate formation of a local branch.

REPLIES TO ATTACK MADE
ON SINCERITY OF LUTHER

LOS ANGELES, May 21.-lEditor
Herald: l was sorry to note in reading
the columns of the letter box May IL
that a person signing himself Line
man" took exception to the credit
Luna gave Luther in a previous ar
ticle in your paper, referring to the re-
ligious reformation period.
He states: whatever good came 10
the people in the way of religious toll
GRANGE and liberty was unintentional on
the part of Luther" May ask where
this inside information was obtainedH
Martin Luther had purpose in his
life which grew out of the very oppres-
sion of the church at Rome. His de-
Termination to "crytalize' his ideas be-
came the sole motive that he so ar
IDENTIFY carried against his almost over
yheIrning enemies. One of his objects
was to put man in direct communica-
ton with God, without the use of a
middleman or depending on other hu-
man agencies to translate passions and
warnings that only God can under
stand.
Rome was not built in day, neither
did the protestant church lift itself, like
balloon, into the purity and freedom
of the brightest ideas of Luther, leaV-
ing all trials and vices behind.
Tineman says: Luther was only the
spark that exploded the magazine" 1
admit the same. The spark has no
destructive force without the magazine
of power; but without the spark the
magazine would remain silent forever.

PUBLIC LIeRARY's USEFULNESS
NEARLY GONE, SAYS WRITER

Los ANGELES. May 22.-[Editor
Herald: Like Taxpayer" and an
other recent correspondent, 1 question
whether we are getting a fair return
for our money in the public library as
now conducted.
l think that with each change since
the old city hail location days, when
a woman managed the library, that
esta blishment has declined most not
ably in usefulness, in spite of-perhaps.
indeed, because Otis vastly increased
cost of upkeep. So much is now spent
on rent and salaries that the provision
of books becomes matter OF sec
ondary consideration.
Each move has been farther and yet
farther from the business center most
convenient to the workers, who cannot
afford to chase the library by car but
must get their books during the lunch
hour or as they leave work for home;
either this or go without books half
the time.
Under the previous management one
could requisltion a book with a reason
able chance of getting 1t added to the
shelves. Now your requisition is either
ignored or you are told Funds VIII
not permit"
Again there is a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
to say absurd and mpudent-assump-
ter and safeguard our morals by de-
nying us such books as Hornung S
"Raffles," ETC., though we may gorge
our fill on bloody war stories and tales
of lynching, etc. Now, / am man or
sober years and sage counsel, taking
lifes duties seriously and hating
cruelty and wrong, yet, between my
scientific and other serious reading, |
enjoy "Raffies" and Sherlock Holmes"
and such like books, and l resent the
ignorant and narrow minded presump-
ton of any person-librarian or other
who dares to dictate to me what
shall or shall not read.
Even in the case of books that are
in the library there is often an insult
fciency of copies. l found one OF
Dickens works had a leaf missing, but
could not get a second copy. Also
had tried for about fifteen months past
to get Jack London's "Sea Wolf, but
have not succeeded in getting it yet
though 1 must have asked some twelve
to fifteen times; it is always "out."
Speaking of rent and location, l
think we could do better than $4,000
a year for an out of the way site like
the present The library ought to be
near the Industrial center to fulfill its
legitimate purpose.
