SEEKS TO LEARN WHETHER
SCIENCE AND BIBLE AGREE

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23.-[Editor
Herald: 1t has been said that true
science and the Bible always agree
How can the Bible story of creation be
made to agree with the discoveries OF
science along that line?
The Scripture down to the time Of
Abraham is made up of legends and
myths handed down as thousands OF
other stories and myths nave Deen
from time immemorial.
When written in the form as found in
the Bible they were thousands OF years
old. They have been used.as an ex-
planation of the creation and flood, for
in all ages man has had to have an
explanation of things.
The Bible says that in the time of
Noah the whole earth was flooded.
What was the whole earth at that
time? 1t was thousands of years be-
for Christ and America was nor
discovered until more than a thoqsalG q
years after Christ, or in 1892 "A. d., II
we accept Christopher Columbus as the
discoVerer.
That some persons must have escaped
from the flood is shown by the fact We
are on earth today. To explain how
these were saved If all the world was
flooded we have the legend of Noah and
the Ark, which is the explanation
handed down for ages.
Nearly the same legend or story
has been found in Babylonish writing
on old stone tablets thousands of years
old. unearthed in several places. Every
thing indicates that the story Of eVolu-
tion is true and that man has evolved
from a lower plane to his present con-
dition. All scientists are agreed on
that. There must have been time
when he mad no weapons or tools.
Relics found hundreds of feet deep in
dicated such a period. later period
when man mad only rude stone imple-
ments. and a still later period when he
had metal ones.
Now the relics found of these diff
ferent periods found are buried so deep
the time of formation of the soil and
rack above them has taken hundreds
of thousands of years, while, accord
ing to the Bible story, it is only about
600O years since the time of Adam
Science says man existed long before
that time. Which is right, science or
the Bible? If both are right how can
they be made to agree?

JUDICIAL WISDOM

FUDGE RENTOUL of Scotland in a
remarkable address which is
- achieving worldwide circulation
and popularity, catalogued as follows
the fourteen mistakes Of life"
1. To set up our own standard of
right and wrong and to expect every
one to conform TO it.
.. To try to measure the enjoyment
of others by our own.
3. To expect uniformity Of opinion in
this world.
4. To look for judgment and expert
ence in youth.
s. To endeavor to mold all disposi-
tions alike.
g. Not to yield in unimportant trifles.
:. To look for perfection in our own
actions.
3. To worry ourselves and others
about what canot be remedied.
.. Not to alleviate all the suffering
that we can.
10. Not to make allowance for things
in others that seem to unfit them for
success in life.
Il. To consider anything impossible
that We cannot ourselves perform.
12 To believe only what our finite
minds can grasp.
49, To live as if the moment would
last forever.
a. To estimate people by their ma
tionality, or by any outside quality.
This shrewd and learned Scotsman
seems to have hit the nail on the head
every time.
Here is another Of his sayings that is
worth preserving and remembering:
"Bigotry has bathed the churches in
the blood of the martyrs. ALL THE
BEAUTY IN THE WORLD Is THE
RESULT OF LACK OF UNIFORM
ITY."

add; An anti-dog society is much
needed. Who will be the first to start
a movement for the ultimate abolition
of the insufferable dog nuisance?
How long would any other amman

Elghty-fve per cent of citizens, by

dogs or want them. Fifteen per cent

If there are any more abject slaves
than the men and women who take on
themselves the care of dogs, we don't
know where TO look for them. Masters
do not feed and battle and walt on the

their masters And thus II is with
those who live with dogs. The dog Is

COVINA, Dec. 20.-[Editor Herald:
Everybody is 50 pleased with the way
Tie Herald has helped good govern
ment, and in the triumph of the good
government forces in eleeting our
Mayor Alexander we read with pleas
ure of the plan to clean up the county
government as well.
We people of Covina can look for
ward with hope. We We're unanimous
almost to a man and woman in pc
titioning our supervisors to revoke the
license Of the Mountain View winery,
located half way between Azusa and
covina, selling illegally, debauching
our boys and men and a menace TO the
safety OF our women. We could hot
understand how the influence of two
men, even If prominent. could over
rule the expressed wishes Of the bal
ance of our citizens of hundreds, till
we were told the Los Angeles brew
cries carried the deciding influence.
Isn't it strange they should be inter
ested in the Mountain View winery If
il sells only its own product? This
shows how closely our interests are
interrelated.
Again, we have been much interest
ed in letters signed Watchman and Il.
X. G. regarding conduct Of police. We
have several times seen accounts I'm
the general news Of mistreatment of
persons by police besides the ones
mentioned by above correspondents,
and never once noticed any account of
the officer being reproyed or censured,
let alone dismissed.
In one case it was distinctly stated
that Chief Dishman refused 10 take
any notice of the case, saying he stood
by his officers.
Now, If we are to have n Los An
geles of which we can really be proud
we must have a city wherein a poor
man can get the same just treatment
that a rich man gets-a city where
justice is meted out impartially to
men and. women, whether they be
American or Mexican, millionaire or
:aborer When we hear of a police
man arresting a Mexican boy over
and over again without evidence-a
sort of persecution-we want to hear
of the punishment of that official.

officials within their duties-why can't

RACE SUICIDE

n WENTY-SIx STATES in the Union
have found it necessary to take
= action for the protection Of the
health and safety of the nation by
enacting laws limiting the hours Of
labor for adult women.
Many forms of deplorable eXtrava-
gance have been checked by legislation
in recent years, and in this, as in every
other respect, the nation is growing
better.
But it must extend to the women
and children its program of getting
better" Is there any form of ex-
travagance more idiotic than that
which would impair the physique of
the American people in order that
dollar-daft magnates may squeeze
more profits out Of the labor of human
beings?
Illinois. the latest recruit to the ranks
of states that are dealing with social
questions, has limited hours Of wom-
ems work TO ten. ONLY TEN, THAT S
ALLlu
Who are the human beings worked to
TEN hours per day? Here is an cx-
pert's statement:
In structure and function women
are differentiated from men. Besides an
atomical and physiological differences,
physicians are agreed that women are
fundamentally weaker than men in all
that makes for endurance, for physical
strength, muscular strength and in
nervous energy. OverworlI, therefore,
which strains endurance to the utmost
is more disastrous TO the health of
women than of men, and entails upon
them more lasting injury"
The health of the race is conditioned
upon preserving the health of women,
the mothers of the republic. The future
of the United States win be determined
by the way in which the women and
children of this twentieth century are
treated Racial degeneration is al
ready being noted in the industrial CEN
ters Of the east!

MINING

TOHN HAYS HAMMOND'S denm-
citation of fake mining schemes
O is warmly approved by all who
boost genuine mining interests. Every
bodv knows the bona fde mining in
terests of California have been COM
pelled at one time and another to suf-
fer because some enterprising scoun-
drel operating with the reputation OF
California as a great mining state
heeced fasteners.
Mr.. Hammond in an interview said
promoters should be compelled to pub
lish before tiotation exhaustive reports
of engineers and full monthly reports
should be required by law as to their
financial status, ore reserves, etc.
He added he had GREAT FAITH IN
THE SAFETY OF GOOD MINING
INVESTMENTS, but on those which
are not good he would put the red flag
of danger He said fake companies
should be compelled to print a skull
and crossbones on their prospectus by
way of poison label.
1t would be greatly TO the advan-
tage OF every business if the fake ele-
ment could be eliminated, The fake
element in mining is no worse than
the fake element in newspapers. And
an additional trouble is caused by the
fact the fake element in newspapers
is always ready and willing to promote
the promoters Of fake mining and
other fake schemes.

COMIC" ART

which some newspapers present to

The Sunday Comic Supplement" is
now a regular, money making business,

which use its products. Nearly all the
comic supplements are turned out by
syndicate mills, and respectable news

After considerable study of the sub

SUGGESTS PEARY SUBMIT

add: AS a member of the National
Geographical society l cannot refrain

sound sense of Admiral Schley in re-
questing Peary to submit his data to

on learning of the rejection by that
body of DR.. Cooks claim.
Without commenting on the ability
of our society to determine technical
points in comparison with the French

retary Austin to request the commo-
