THoUeHTLEss IDoLATRY HAS
FILLED HISTORY WITH WOE

LONG BEACH, March 2I-[Editor
Herald: / would not say word that
would seem to interfere with the in
alienable right of all men to discuss
whatever question they think worthy of
discussion. But life Is short, and If
people would come to some definite un-
derstanding concerning certain truths
that are fundamental a, good deal of
wasted disputation would cease, and
the world would be the better for 1t.
In spite of the ancients, I hold this
truth to be self evident-that there
never was. is not and never can be a
written word that can settle any moral
question; that can be an authority to
which men may appeal when in doubt.
Again, there never was, is not, and
never will be a statement OF fact or
history that Is evidence of its own
authenticity, without confederation.
There is no disease more fatal to hui
man peace and to human progress than
ignorant belief. This thoughtless idola-
try has filed the history of man with
woe and crime. 1t has stood across the
track of mans advancement in all the
ages, and II is doing it's deadly work
today, where mankind should know
better.
THUS saith the Lord" was always a
mischievous falsehood. Not but that 1t
may be possible for Deity to hold
speech with men, but there is not one
scintilla of proof that he ever did.
Hence the tale is false, as far as we
know.
Arguing over these views" is like
discussing the off side of the moon,
with this difference The analogies of
sky-science lead us to believe that
Luna is the same on both sides, but
with our present vision we are modest
and say we don't know. In the other
case analogies go a-begging; we must
wait until we have developed sixth
sense. Till then let us be modest and
admit our ignorance. though our hope
filings its anchor out into the realm of
and night that surrounds us.
There is only one sad thing about the
coming of men to their senses on ques-
tons about which they know nothing.
There will be a well-dressed addition to
the army of "the unemployed" that
that army has no need of. SENEX.

WOMAN OBJECTS TO A
PRo-VIcE ARGUMENT

LOS ANGELES, March 31.--[Editor
Herald: That abominable pro-vice
argument, namely, that the redlight
district is a protection to women, has
been mentioned by a correspondent, so
kindly permit me to refute 1t.
First, as woman and mother. 1
we want no protection that means to
wrong, to shame and to destroy in
few years q large number or any
number of our sisters and daughters,
even though they had consented to such
and destruction.
Second. the facts have come to our
knowledge through reliable sources
that innocent women, unwilling to en-
ter such lives, are taken In and kept
there by force. If this is with a view
to protect decent women, we cry
cease. We will take care of ourselves,
take our fighting chance with the
whole of womankind. No decent or
even human woman wants such pro-
lection. Further, all women are less
safe because of an institution that
cultivates abandonment and sex
Third, we deny that there is any
thing in the institution but a threat
and a danger for womanhood The
white slavers, with their far-laid
schemes, their network of agents,
their false information cunnIngly dis
seminated and their gang-ruIe poll
ticians, are making humanity pay full
dear for its stupid, pridish avoidance
Of this vital subject.

DEEMS GOOD AND EVIL ONLY
HALVES OF SINGLE WHOLE

POMONA, March 29.-[Editor Her
add: Many writers in the Letter Box
have given their views concerning God.
]. d. d. says no one can aver that God
created a devil unless he also admits
that infinite, all-powerful good can be
the source of evil, which statement de-
MES the premise of infinite good. ]. d.
d. is right If good be God.
But good cannot endure forever with
out interruption. 1t is, as 1t were. like
a pendulum or a vibration swinging
from good to bad, from bad to good.
Good is only half of a unit; the other
half is bad. Bad is generally called
evil.
we would not know good If there
were no evil for comparison. Love and
anger are opposing faculties of the
mind. A man who cannot get angry
can never be really good. Any faculty
of the mind will tire by overwork, just
as any muscle of the body; and when
tired, it's opposite is apt to take the
lead.
We have the testimony of religious
converts and of New Thoughters that
they do not succeed in being always
good, but that they at times break into
furious temper, which, of couse, is
natural.
Moderate anger is a stimulant IL 1t be
brief; otherwise not. Love is tonic.
But even love ought to be temperate.
If God is a being, unit, I would
think him capable of being good toward
that which is good and evil toward
that which is evil. C. U. WHITE.

HOPES ADMINISTRATION
WILL ABOLISH CADETS

LOS ANGELES, March 31.-[Editor
Herald: Mr.. ]. III. Willever asks in a
recent letter II ii be true that the
authorities are powerless to close UP
places of vice in this city. Now, there
are people about who are beginning to
think that those places would cease to
flourish, at least in their present re-
voting status, If the authorities ceased
to protect them. SO we watch with
great hopes the present city admin
istration.
In the recent Investigations in Chi
cago, mentioned before in this column.
1t was found that by far the greater
number of women in those places were
ensnared or taken in by force; that
to keep them ensnared in those evil
dens a cadet" system Is kept up, the
cadets" receiving large profits for
disciplining the unwilling victims. Mr..
Parkin, assistant prosecutor, estimated
that there were at least 5000 of these
cadets in Chicago alone. TO put that
In plain language, it is that an army
of 5000 men are kept for the express
purpose of holding those women in vile
subsection. In addition to this unof-
fetal army special policemen are de-
tailed to those districts and the poor
girl who attempts to escape is severely
dealt with for her 'disorderly" con-
duct. No wonder the poor things aret
driven to suicide. The annals of chat
tel slavery have no parallel for their
piteous fate.
The thing so hard for people to see,
so difficult to believe, is that the
very officials charged to prosecute vice
are suborned by the vicious. But the
hoped they will end this infamy, for |
the dear-bought lesson of history Is !
that If we do not, 1t will end u.s.

DEEMS scRIPTURAL PROOF OF
RESURRECTION CONCLUSIVE

LOS ANGELES, March 26.--[Editor
Herald: "a Student" writes to The
Herald as follows: II will say that, of
course, the early Christians believed In
the resurrection. But that doesn't
prove anything. The early Mormons
believed Joseph Smith to be a prophet
of God, but that isn't proof"
May I suggest to "A Student" that
he seems to have overlooked the fact
that the belief in these cases is exer-
cised toward two very different classes
of objects.
The first-The resurrection was a
physical, concrete fact; at that time
easy of proof
The second-That Joseph Smith was
prophet of God-was an abstract,
spiritual relation, incapable, unaided,
of physical demonstration.
AS to the resurrection of Jesus no
event in history is better proved than
is this. There are twenty-seven differ
ent historical treatises comprising the
New Testament) written by eight or
nine different historians who testify to
the fact of the resurrection, and one
of them, Paul Il Corinthians 1876 says
of Jesus after his crucifixion: Then he
appeared to above five hundred breth-
rem (women not mentioned) at once, of
whom the greater part remain until
now, but some are fallen asleep"
These are some of the external proofs
that may be mentioned
For a convincing Internal proof of
the claims Of Jesus let me refer "A
to Christ's words (John 7:17),
IF any man willeth to do his Gods
will he shall know the teaching, wheth-
err 1t is of God or whether 1 speak from
myself" JAMES p. CADMAN.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-04-01

The debates on the different sched-
ules reveal as wide a divergence OF
views in that day as there is now, after
nearly century and a quarter of de-
| bate and discussion. Congress was
| late in getting to work. 1t had been
called to meet in New York on March
4, 1889, yet it was April 1 before the
house could muster a quorum, and
April s before the senate had a ma
jority of it's members present. 1t was
therefore one month and two days late
in starting the wheels of legislation of
the national government.
Two days later James Madison
brought in his tariff bill. 1t provided
specific duty for spurious liquors,
Wines teas, sugars, pepper, cocoa and
spices and ad valorem duty on other
imports. There was a small free list.
The bill was laid over until the next
day, when q Mr.. Fitzsimmons got his
name down as one of the first speakers
on the tariff In the congress of the
United States. He wanted to have the
law modelled after the pennsylvania
idea," just as some Republicans some
years ago declared for the Iowa idea. >,
This led to an extended general de-
bate. In the committee of the whole
house on the state of the Union, the
rum, molasses and malt liquor duties
were first Professionally settled, Then
came tallow candles. South Carolina
opposed "a tax on light" which was
placed at cents a pound. This opposi-
ton did not avail, however, and the
rate was made cents a pound.
When the steel clause came up for
consideration Mr.. Lee of Virginia op-
posed it. He said that it would be i'm
possible to supply the country with
homemade steel, and that consequent
1y 1t ought not to be taxed more than
3 per cent, at the outside. Mr.. Tucker
of South Carolina thought a bounty
was the thing for steel, while Mr..
Clymer of Pennsylvania thought there
ought to be a duty, and said that he
knew of one furnace in Philadelphia
which had been made to produce .230
tons year where it had produced only
$50 tons before. He attributed the in |
creased output to the practical applica- |
ton of the Pennsylvania idea" He |
thought that with a little more en- |
couragement it might be able to supply |
all the steel needed In the United |
States.
The cordage and hemp duties resulted
N a wide debate on raw materials. The
New England members rose up in arms
against these duties. as they said it
