GIVES PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
AS CONCLUSIVE TESTIMONY

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23.-[Editor
Herald]: 1t seems strange that so zeal
GUS an advocate Of social betterment as
w. s." should spend his time and
waste his energies in attacking the
all-mind-no-matter people," as he
slurringly styles them. Knowing ''V. 81
as intimately as 1 do, 1 cannot doubt,
the good intention, but assume an err
ror of judgment.
If interpret his contributions to the
Letter Box correctly, the ideal of ''V.
81 is freedom from bondage eco
nomic and otherwise.
Now the ideal Of the Christian Sci
entists, if I, as an outsider, may pre-
sumo to speak for them, seems to be
Identical with the one Of 'FV. S.
i. e., FREEDOM from all evil, sin, disease
and death: even the perfect liberty of
the sons of God.''
Both, therefore-the Socialists and
the Christian Scientists-are working
with the same end in view; the differ
ence lies in the plan of battle only
". 81 and the Socialists want to bet
ter the state Of the Individual through
the many, while the Christian Scien-
tlsts are improving the individual now
and, of necessity, also society. l trust
NA1C 4oUOI VI V. =. anu the SOCIALISTS
will achieve much in the future. and I
Know the teaching of Christian Science
is achieving much in the present.
Concerning 'V. S. 81 question of Jan
uary IA, 1 will say that an ounce OF
truth, rightly understood and consist
emily applied, outweighs indeed tons Of
error. After all, it is not theories or
questions about the possibility of the
ories-some people question the possi-
bility of SOcialiSm-but facts we arn
after. ''V. s. knows very we'll in what
low physical condition l was last
spring, caused by heart disease and
chronic indigestion. He also knows 1
wore glasses-had to-for ten years.
Wen, through the teaching Of these
all ll-mind-no-matter people, l am as
well today as L ever was in my life,
and have no need of glasses, which I
discarded six months ago.
I think all lovers of men, whatever
their plan of battle, should fight the
common enemy and not each other.
Besides the Golden Rule may be ap-
piled in even so small a thing as a CON
tribution to the Letter Box. Us.

Our city is making history rapidly.
The recall of Mayor Harper and the
consideration of the proposed charter
amendments provide citizens with
plenty of food for thought. Every step
forward is a step in the right direction.
We agree with Mayor Harper on one
point. We are opposed to reactionary
policies. Perhaps. however, the mean
ing he attaches to the word reactionary
differs slightly from the generally ac-
we concur.

A MINER FROM NEVADA.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-26

A VERY extensive movement has
IN been launched into being in New
York which has for its purpose the
counteraction of the now thoroughly
entrenched institution of woman suf-
frage. 1t is in the hands Of some very
distinguished meSdames whose time has
hitherto been occupied chiefly with $50
ciety." These birds Of the elite Of tho
east have suddenly become fearful Of
the future of the American home if
something is not done to dam the tide
of the swift-moving propagandists who
have shaken England with a war cry
which has rung to the ends of the
earth and which bids fair soon to COM
pei at least the English-Speaking ma
tionS to yield to it's entreaties for free
dom. DR.. Lyman Abbott is quoted
as an anti-suffragist, and President
Roosevelt is said also to favor it. He
(the preSidenO is quoted in the liter
ature of the "antis" as stating that
while 1 personally believe in woman
suffrage, 1 fear it's general operation
might interfere with Woman'S useful
ness in the home, which IS her place,
just as mans place is that of bread
winning"
The opposition will probably be short
lived and Of little influence since it is
pretty well known that the very thing
society women have been conspicuous
for in the past is the thing the suf-
fragists have not been conspicuous in.
The latter, above all women, loves her
home, is seldom a divorce, and when
spinster, like Helen Gould, is usually
distinguished in some philanthropic
work to which she has given her time
and means. Besides, in advancing the
cause of suffrage, she is doing the one
thing that will do more to elevate her
and give it independence and usefulness
than anything she could put her hand
to- More than this, if she succeed, she
will help her husband, father and
brothers, who have seen this country
decline steadily in those virtues which
are supposed to be the hope or props Of

OFFICIAL. WHO DECLARES VICE
PROTECTED IN LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13.-[Editor
Herald: 1 wish to commend your ef-
forts in the stand you have taken in
regard to the exposure of those who
seem to be protecting vice in this city.
Perhaps 1 might say as a judge once
said: THAT it would be useless to
present any more evidence, as he had
made UP his mind already" L think
the people of this city, without any
hesitancy, will vote to suppress such a
state of affairs. 1 am a notary public
and I wish to offer my services as such
to bring about the recall for our mayor,
who seems to be past all possible hope
of correcting things, and as a citizen L
wish to cooperate with you in bringing
about change. God help people who
will let this thing go on any longer. for

PACIFIC SUPREMACY

O OMEWHAT disquieting, though,
~ perhaps, not surprising, is the
~ news that the Japanese govern
ment intends, with subsidized steam
ship companies, to compete with the
United States for the commerce of the

awake to the vast trade possibilities
Of the Pacific coast. Beyond reason

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hands or brain is never high
priced.
The best example Of this is found in
Quaker Scotch Oats. 1t stands at the
top among foods that supply nourish-
ment and vigor, without taxing the di-
gestion, and yet 1t is the least expen-
sive food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Scotch Oats will
work better and with less fatigue than
If fed on almost any other kind Of
food. All of these facts were proved
and very interesting information
about human foods were gathered by
Professor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. In addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Scotch Oats is packed in
large size family packages either with
or without china dishes. 3
