VAL STONE CLAIMS "GAPS"
ARE NOT ON HIS SIDE

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 13.-[Editor
Herald1: Mr.. Jensen, answering a
correspondent who wants specific indi-
cation of the gaps in my logic al
legged by Mr.. Jensen, claims that l
"assume" that Eusapia Palladino IS
a trickster, and he says that has to
be proved" Why, that fact is allowed
on all hands, as 1 distinctly stated IN
my first letter, and as Mr.. Jensen MN
self admitted when he said, III reply:
Because Eusapia has been caught at
tempting to deceive in some cases, Val
Stone assumes that all her manifesto
tions are fraudulent, or words to that
effect. SO of course, do say she Is
trickster.
But now as to a very different point
(and Mr.. J. reasons so loosely that he
does not see the difference namely
whether Eusapia is anything else than
a trickster In other words, are any
of her stunts "genuine2" 1 most dis
tinctly. on q former occasion, alb
stained from Offering an opinion,
though I did question the logic OF
concluding that they were genuine
simply because they had not yet been

ception.

ton to state my own opinion thal l
have not done so, but simply because
my individual opinion proves hotAln5'

also welcome to. I think II a sale plan,

ciousness of vastly much OF human

its source Is in any way 'suspeCt
or tainted with fraud And here let
me say a word on that kind OF logic
which retorts: "Oh, then, according
to Won. if a man once told a lie, every
thing he ever told was lies" If Far
mer Giles, who lied grieYously, motor

I will not necessarily disbelieve him

set down that Of his cow In the same
category, even though l had not been

unimpeachable as to honesty at least.

FREE WILL A SPIRITUAL
GIFT FROM GOD TO MAN

Los ANGELES, Dec. 12.-[Editor
Herald: For the last few weeks read
ers OF your paper have given their
opinions through the medium of the
Letter Box about free will.
According to my idea the correspond
ents gave their opinions from a ma
terial point Of view. and never observe
that It is a spiritual gift of the Creator
to man.
Because man has the freedom to
move In which direction he likes. as
an animal can do, that is not free
will That freedom Of moving several
plants already possess, pass from the
kingdom OF the plants in that Of the
animals, through their transitions and
according to the unalterahle laws Of
nature passes over in men.
A French writer says IN a catechism
about the free will.
God gave man the free will TO do
good or evil. Whereas he possesses
incontestably the liberty of thinking. It
is a consequence that he also possesses
the freedom to act according to that
thinking. Remorse is a proof of the
misuse Of that liberty Christ in his
prescriptions told mankind how to live
by the words Don't do to others what
you should not wish to be done by YOU
and DO TO others what you wish they
would do TO you These words contain
all the human virtues and duties. If
man did not possess a free will he
could not be an independent person.
ality; he would only act according to
received impulsions; he would be
machine, totally free Of acting on its
own accord.
"God would let other beings partake
with him the glory Of being with him,
to enjoy the happiness Of life. There
fore he had TO create intelligences diff
ferent from himself He has to create
them free that they should be person.
alities, that they should possess their
own virtually"
Freedom is also the absolute inevita
BILE attribute of the soul God could
not take away this without annihiliat-
ing it, without solving 1t In himself.
God, eternal and infinite being, pos
sosses everything through himself, but
the creature possesses everything
through God; but through the free will
which God has given him he has to
impute to himself the consequences OF
his righteousness, or uselessness,
which are again a consequence Of his
own viii.
The Infinite could not impart his
highest perfection to others; that IS,
to create a being Ike himself without
aunihilating himself The creature IS
THUS limited, imperfect, and It is from
that imperfectlon, added To the free
will, which proceeds moral evil.

WOULD ELECT AssEMeLYMEN
WHO FAVOR FULL FREEDOM

Los ANGELES, Dec. 8.-LElitor
Heraldl Now that the voters have
redeemed Los Angeles from a disgraced
past, have taken from her the sack
cloth i'm which she did penancc for a
tarnished escutcheOn, have raised her
from the ashes of humiliation and
given her the right to be the queen city
of a state that sadly needs the same
renovation, let us enlarge our view
and give our vision wider range.
Neither Los Angeles nor California
herself has ever had a government for
the people, Of the people and by the
people.
For sixty years california has had
q government of the people, for the
men and by the men, but now that the
goddess who holds the scales Of justice
is waking from a slumber 50 profound
that one was justified in believing
that she had become solidly petrifed,
let those who love justice and freedom
rearrange their plans, enlarge the
boundaries of their influence and pre-
pare to do the work necessary to have
the next legislature submit to the
voters an amendment to the state con-
stitution which will enable California
women to vote.
If he thirty-seven assemblymen
who were opposed to letting the cleo
tors vote upon the question Of woman
suffrage are not returned and their
places are filled by mon who are willing
that the fathers brothers, husbands
and SONS OF california women shall de-
eide whether or not these women
shall longer be humiiated by being
classod with Idiots and insane then
this question will be in a fair way to
be decided upon its merints.
Keep the dishonest men out; put
only honest men in.

STOCK OPERA
ENCOURAGING
EDISON PLEASED WITH LOCAL
SUPPORT
Says Permanent Company to Render
Classical Music Is Assured Fact,
in View of Hartman's Re
cent Triumph

Charles Farwell Edison, Maecenas of
local musicians, patron of the arts and
leading spirit of the Gamut club, has
vision of Los Angeles as great ope-
ratio center from which the best in
American music will radiate. While
always optimistic, Mr.. Edison backs his
assertions with Il thorough knowledge
OF his subject, and a history of having
been associated with every progressive
movement in the musical field IN Los
Angeles during recent years.
Unless all signs fail, Los Angeles
will soon reach a place in operate mu-
sic that it has long struggled to attain"
said Mr.. Edison yesterday. The expert
ment Of having permanent stock op-
era company has proved so succesStul
that we may hope for a greater deNel-
opment along those lines. 1t mainly
rests with the people themselves as to
whether we are to continue to have
good music, with an occasional incur
sion into the realm of grand opera, or
not; but the outlook is hopeful from
the success so far attained.
when we consider that if a manu-
featuring proposition were to come
here with a salary roll no larger than
that Of our present local musical stock
company, it would be met by delega-
ton and a brass band shown around
the town and introduced to the city as
a great public benefactor. Why is this
so? Primarily because art is the last
thing which people recognize as a ne
cessity. Los Angeles has now reached
the point where it can reasonably be
expected to lend its support to anything
which will foster and encourage love
for the higher forms of musical art, and
the latest success achieved with the
Love Tales of Hoffman at the Grand
opera house presages an early produc-
tion of some other grand opera.
Artists Must Cooperate
ITO do this successfully, however, it
will be perforce necessary to call upon
the local artists for their cooperation.
This will undoubtedly be done, and in
this way: By calling upon the local
resources it will be the surest method
for the development of our local talent.
Hitherto it has been necessary for our
local singers and players to go east
and to Europe not only to obtain their
training, but to secure an opening,
which the establishment of this local
stock company will obViate.
The old-world cities nave their stock
opera, supported in part by the munich
pality and the state, but here II must,
of necessity, be private business en-
terprise, for the present, at least, and
therefore the support which it has so
far received Is not only very gratifying
from a business standpoint, but is also
a matter for congratulation that the
people themselves have evinced so
great an enthusiasm for this most
beautiful form of art"

RUGBY FOOTBALL is ONLY
HOPE OF SAVING SPORT

WHITTIER, Dec. Ill Editor Her
add: The casualty record for football
up to November 23 was twenty-siX
killed and siXty-nine seriously injured
by the American game. On November
% five were seriously injured In one
game at Walla Walla, causing the
abandonment of the American game.
So many have been injured in New
York that the schools have refused to
allow it under any reformed rules,
Frederick c. C0ubert when urged to
allow it's continuance said: Columbia
university two years ago abolished the
game after careful consideration" /
see by this mornings Herald that DR..
Storey, physical director of the college
of New York. who formerly occupied
the same position at Leland Stanford
university, says "suCe the adoption of
Rugby at Stanford four years ago they
have not had a serious injury" and
goes on to ask why tinker with foot
ball rules? Go back to the original
game OF Rugby He says the game is
highly satisfactory from the specta-
tors viewpoint, is beneficial to the
players and has no Objectionable
features
Instead, then. of having meetings to
boost the brutal game let those who
met the other day recognize the writ
ing on the wall and spend their time
iNfAl iAlil6 Niit lltN game, VI llleY Will

Per cent of the people outside of the
attendants at such q game are dead
set against such brutal and brutalzing
sports, and parents have endured about
all the agony they are going to. When
they send a big, stout fellow to college
a constant nightmare haunts them lest
he be carried home on a stretcher or
crippled for life. Injured at 10. it may
mean handicap, pain and lameness for
sixty years.
Think Of such an injury being in
flicted on a thoughtless boy. just 10
crafty the ambition of some brutal
coach or the desire Of some college to
see its name i'm the press as having q
winning team at football.
I believe in athletics that develop the
physical man and the higher man at
the same time, not such as transforms
thoughtless lads into brutes. Think Of
thirty of the strongest young men to
be found In America brutally killed
laid as sacrifice upon this altar while
closely following them are sixty-nine
crippled for life; worse off, some of
them, than those who are dead.
Let parents write to the colleges that
they will not patrOnize them while
these death traps are set for their boys
and use your influence to secure men
to teach who have a higher conception
Of Christian education and more re-
spect for the almost universal opinion
of the people.
Let the Rugby be adopted without
delay, and then on with the games.
