NATURE FAKING

=" HEN Nature Taking was in its
w prime, newspapers and maya
zines were filled with wonder
stories Of the animal world. Men who
had studied nature all their lives were
amazed to find they had been dealing
with brutes that must have been intel
lectual dullards. because other animals
enabled their observers to fill yards
of printed space with reading matter
as interesting as the Arabian Nights
Entertainments
Finally, enterprising men began to
write books on nature subjects. Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, who had spent
much of his life in the open, and had
done a great deal of animal observing
and animal hunting, was first inter-
ested, then amazed. then puzzled by the
animal books and stories. At last he
saw a bright light.
why" he exclaimed, these con-
scienceless writing ruff1ans have dis
covered animal stuff takes with the
public, and that the bigger the story
the better the reader likes it. But these
fellows are neither naturalists nor ma
ture DISORDERS. They are nature fax
ers."
Fate has waited for a long time be-
fore avenging some of the writer's who
protested they had been wrongfully in
cluded among nature takers, inasmuct
as they had written what they believed
to be true, and Colonel Roosevelt had
spoiled the sale of their books.
But here comes a stunning story from
Africa. We called attention to it in yes
terday's Herald. The story of the attack
on the Roosevelt boat by a dozen fe-
rocious hippopotami bears all the
marks of being one of the finest nature
fakes of modern times. Geographically
zoologically and ethically it will not
stand analysis. What win the de-
nouncer of nature fakes and the foe
of nature takers say when he hears
the tale of the terrible hippopotami
1t looks as If there was a (river) horse
on Roosevelt.

PROTESTS AGAINST scHEMERs
AFFlLIATING WITH CHURCHES

WHITTIER, July 21.-[Editor Her
add: What should the church of Jesus
Christ do with men like James H. Pat-
ten, who is reported to have manipu-
lated the wheat market again SO as to
raise the price of flour 20 cents, and
thus add thousands to the number of
hungry children in our land, and a cool
million to his colossal wealth? She
should turn him out instanter. What
will she do? Bow the suppliant knee
and call his robbery far-sightedness,
shrewdness, and some will hold him
up, as they do his colleague, Rookie
feller, as an example to young men
for diligence in business. We should
be very careful to remember these in
stitutions, Notwithstanding all their as
sumptions of apostolical succession and
being the primitive church, and other
equally false claims, are not the real
church.
What is It? It is made up of all
truly converted souls who are united
to Christ by living faith, and keep
ing his commandments, loving God and
man, who is Gods only representative
on this old earth.
The organization, doubtless, has
many real Christians In 1t, but there
are thousands like Rockefeller and Pat
ten, and the scheming politicians who
use the organization to promote their
prospects, and scheming corporation
and trust leaders, who work through
the modern churches, and who by lib
eral gifts and much display control IT,
debating it's stand on public questions,
and putting their subservient friends
into the pulpits. BY intimidating the
pulpit they determine what doctrines
are to be preached and what not mem
toned.
The godly minister who refuses to
obey is sent to a small church. The
prophet of old was told to cry aloud
and spare not, and If he preferred the
silent course, he was called a dumb
dog and a woe pronounced against him.
Should the ministers go into their
pulpits next Sunday, after careful ex-
animation of the social and business
practices of their communicates, and
preach against them, what would be
the result? Many would say: 1--WE
must have a new preacher; II will
not pay him anything more; IT didn't
come here to be insulted." Let them
keep this up, and their SUCCESSORS take
up the same truths, what would be the
result?
The church would put on her beauti-
full garments and go forth bright as the
sun. fair as the moon, and terrible as
an army with banners. These iniquitous
conditions would soon cease. If this

ATTEMPTS TO CLEAR

DENIES THAT FIRE Is
BOTH GOOD AND EVIL

LOS ANGELES, July 7.-[Editor
Herald; For the purpose Of enllght-
ening c. F. 1t may be stated that moth
ing of Gods creating can be both good
and evil If we consider the subject of
fire to which he alludes. We find that
from a material basis 1t is seemingly
both good and evil.
AS 1 understand the passages quoted
by c. F. the word fire is used in SYM
bolical sense as in the passage, THY
God is a consuming fire." teaching us
to overcome evil with good SO the
casting of the wicked into the fur
mace of fire is merely the elimination
from consciousness of evil thinking, or
false beliefs, apart from which there is
no wickedness. These are the tares in
the vineyard and their destruction In
the furnace of fire; in the oblivion of
outer darkness or disappearance in the
bottomless pit, presages the dissocia-
tion of evil from identity with man or
his experience. In such state of mind
the harmlessness of fire can be demon
strated even as IL was in the ordeal
of the fiery furnace. Now, as to the
carnal conception with it's pervading
mortality and evil, st. Paul says
Whether there be prophecies they
shall fail. Wether there be tongues they
shall cease. Whether there be knowl-
edge 1t shall vanish away, for we know
in part and we prophesy in part. but
when that which is perfect is come that
which is in part shall be done away
with" The only way the perfect can
come Is through knowledge and this is
the fire which will transform.
1t might be profitable to a better un-
derstanding of the impersonality of sin
and evil If we would study st. Paul's
explanation in the seventh chapter Ro-
mans-note seventeenth verse. r. N.

Il extravagant, socially ambitious
and unscrupulous, and that the moral
levels of a nation can never rise high
er than its womanhool. Tennyson,
who was as keen a student of human
nature as Willett said woman was
what man made her. Taking both
Willett's and Tennyson's views of
moral levels, nations like the United
States, which represent the most ad-
vanced type Of civilization, are under
such a mountainous load of indebted
ness to women that 1t i'll becomes any
carper to make sensational comments.
If women are what men make them
and surely to a certain extent the
Tennysonlan contention is true-then
the men of the United States are of
a highly superior mental and moral
quality, for the femininity of no ma
tion in the world can surpass that OF
the United States. And If 1t be true
the moral levels of a nation can never
rise higher than its womanhood, this
republic has to thank womankind for
the greatest general morality ever ex-
emplified in any nation.
Mark you, we do not claim America
socially is ideal" or that It is what
the best and truest thinkers would
wish it to be; but the freedom which
women enjoy in the United States has
been a blessing to the country. All
that Willett said about women could
be said with greater emphasis con-
cerning men. No doubt some women
are extravagant, socially ambitiousc
and INSCRIPTIONS. But there are far
more men than women who are guilty
Of extravaganza, ambition and un-
scrupulousness. And the morals of q
nation are determined by the men far
more than by the women. Tennyson
was more nearly right than Willett Is.

Saturday, May I, 1909
The Wind Up.

Saturday the April term of the district court closed its session and Judge Doan took his departure to remain until October, when he will return to hold the fall term-unless something should occur to require judicial attention before.
 The greater part of Saturday was taken up with the trial of the case of the Territory vs. Al Johns, in dicted on an accusation of cattle stealing-killing a heifer belong ing to the Empire Cattle Co.,, in the Santa Rita mountains. The Cattle Sanitary Board sent J E. O'Con- nor from Pinal county, and the Empire Company sent John B. Wright from Tucson to aid the prosecution, while the defendants attorney, Mir. s. F. Noon, was as. sisted by Mir. A. A. Worsley of Tue son The testimony was very con ficting and the case was fought stubbornly, but the jury returned a verdict of "Not Guilty" In this case there were nine witnesses without the county and indigent, the expense account for which cost the county about $400.
 In the cases noted last week wherein D. P. Pennywitt petitioned the custer of s. F. Johnson from the secretaryship and treasureship of the Four Metals Mining Com pany, a change of venue to Pima county was granted.

WyIie Building Destroyed.

Just at midnight Tuesday an alarm of fire brought out the Nogales Fire Department and a large pro- portion of the population, the cause being a conAagration that had started in that part of the Wylie Building, on the west side of the arroyo occupied by the bankrupt stock that Nathan Leeker has had on sale the past two weeks. When discovered the flames had cut off already the stairway leading to the second floor, where MT. Wylie and family made their home, and they were cut off from escape, standing out on the top of the porch or awning in front awaiting rescue. Willing hands brought a ladder quickly, the imperilled family brought down and taken to a place of safety. The small building ad- joining on the north occupied by Blunt the natter and the Gebler building next to that were i'm perilled, but, fortunately there was stirring hardly breath of air, and the department had little diffi- culty in checking the spread of the flames and con6ning them within the walls of the structure that was attacked originally. But the oc- cupants of the two buildings, Mir. Blunt and family, and Mir. and Mrs. Gebler, were aroused and moved to places of safety. Mr. and Mrs. Geber are both very ill and it was feared the shock and hurried transfer to other quarters might effect them seriously; but forum ately they suffered no serious re
 suits. Fearing spread of the con. hagration residents to northward along the block prepared to become involved in the conhagration, eur tains were taken down, dishes anC other household belongings were packed ready for removal, pianoI and other heavy pieces of furnitur, removed to safer quarters, etc Within a couple of hours the 6r' had burned out all of the interio

1t seems to be becoming quite
the fashion nowadays for state
courts to override the United
States supreme court. AS is well
known, the latter body last year
declared blacklisting lawful Tin
the Louisville & Nashville case)
and boycotting unlawful Gin the
hatters' case).
Then came the supreme court
of Montana and ruled that boycott
ting was lawful--that where one
individual had the right to with
draw his patronage from any firm
many individuals could act togeth-
'er and do the same thing.
Lately the supreme court of
California declared that working
men had the right to strike, and
were justified in publishing and
circulating their grievances
against any firm and request their
friends to withhold their patron
age.
Now comes the highest court in
Maryland and rules that the
blacklist is a malicious interior
ence with the right of a work
ingman to obtain employment, and
that actions for damages would
lie against employers who resort
ed to blacklisting. Several other
cases are pending in various state
courts.
The action of the legislature of
the Province of Brabaut, Belgium,
in enforcing a minimum wage
scale, below which employers are
not permitted to pay, and which
is the most revolutionary piece OF
labor legislation that has been

present generation, has been fol.
lowed by the passage of law by
