SAYS EVERY SOCIAL ORDER
FINDS POVERTY NECESSARY

HOLTVILLE, Imperial County, Cal,
Jan. 4.-[Editor HERALD: In an I'M
signed article from Pomona, December
3d. given in your Letter Box" January
2. the writer comments on your pre-
vious statement concerning the boun-
tiful harvests and says that it is still
necessary to establish the bread line.
He further says that nature has done
it's part well, and continues by say
ing: THE difficulty, then, must lie
between nature and the wOuld-be con-
sumner, and that difficulty is nothing
else than human laws. Those in power
are either unable or unwilling, or both,
to enact and enforce such laws as will
insure the general distribution of the
worlds plenty and relieve the cry of
poverty which is so general
The writer fails to see that it is not
the business of law either to produce
or distribute wealth. Law is con-
cerned solely with the single moral
problem Of securing just relations be
tween individuals in their several
spheres of action. Again, nature is not
wealth, nor is it, fundamentally, the
source of wealth. The substances. and
forces of nature must be turned to
human use to become wealth, and this
turning of nature to human use in
wolves the intellectual and moral
forces of human kind. Those commu-
mites low in intellectual and moral
force are possessed of but little wealth
Notwithstanding the presence before
them of all nature. This is true
throughout all history. The initial
source of wealth for any people is
found in their Intellectual and moral
power-not in nature. The individual
in the Occident earns So cents, while in
Occident has reached the moral status
of free institutions and the intel
Ieetual capability for making sciences,
while the Orient has attained neither
of these. Consequently the Orient can
make but little use of nature, even
though it is fully present before them.
AS to the individual in poverty, bar
ring unforeseen exigencies, it may
be said that 1.-THE poor We have al
ways with you" because every social
order presupposes a certain personal
responsibility in it's members. Some
there are in every community, as Jesus
we'll knew, who cannot meet this
standard Of responsibility and fall into
poverty and misery. These are better
cared for in the world now than ever
before.
Between nature and the would-be
consumer, then, it is not law that is
a bar to him. He partakes of the
worlds plenty according to his par
ticipation personally and individually
in the intellectual and moral life of
his kind.

ASKS HOW CIVILIZATION
CAN MAKE HUMAN GHOULS

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5.-[Editor
Herald: The press dispatches of the
4th from Messina, via Malta, an Eng
lish possession, state that Immediately
after the great catastrophe hordes of
ghouIs attacked the living and the
dead, cutting off fingers and ears to
get rings and ornaments and that they
viciously set fire to the undestroyed
buildings. Also that many Of the po-
lice joined with the looters and aided
in the footing. And that the actual
pillaging was more hideous than any
of the horrors reported.
Six hundred ghouls, including many
police adds the dispatch, have been
arrested.
Our congress-impelled by a humane
sentiment-has appropriated $780, 900
for the relief Of the earthquake suffer-
ers, and now it ought to make a small
appropriation to ascertain what sort
of a civilization it is that has produced
such ghouls. 1t is the right of the
world to know, and a matter Of great
interest. G. c.

Auros NEEpLEssnY wEAR ROAD
II Traffic Would Spread. Highways
Would Last Longer.

A country surveyor protests against
the habit which many motorists have
of doing the majority of their driving
on the crown or center of the road.
This method of driving means that one
portion of the road takes all the wear.
and naturally of course gets worn into
ruts and ridges. says the Gentlewoman.
If the traffic would spread itself and
make al! that portion of the road from
gutter to the top of the crown take a
share of the wear, road surfaces would
last much longer and would require
less frequent repair. In these days.
