EQUAL STANDARD OF MORALS
is SOLUTION o FERED

LOS ANGELES. March 81 Editor
Herald: The letter of 81. A. II. IN
Sundays Herald should be cut out and
framed or placed in the scrapbook OF
every Herald reader. The sentence
"When there ceases to exist market
for women's souls there will cease 10
be women's souls to SELF shows plainly
that If there were no fallen men there
would be no fallen women, and places
the responsibility exactly where 1t be-
longs-on the patron. l once heard az
a libertine who was reformed by find
ing that his own sister had fallen
victim to ono of these dens OF iniquity
Think what it required to reform him
the souls of other peoples sisters (and
his own souD were as nothing to MIN,
but when it came home to him 1t was
different matter. Are we one human
family? Are we our sisters keepers?
OR are we a selfish inhuman lot of vul-
lures? The single standard of morals
is the only remedy, and can be realized
as easily ais changes in economic condi-
tons can be realized, therefore it is as
practical a solution. I hope women
will not lay the sins of the fallen men
at the door of the entire sex, but will
realize that many men are working
earnestly for better and purer condi-
tions. e. NJ. F.

GREATER LOS ANGELES

w HEN consolidation is accom-
w plished Greater Los Angeles
W will be on the map. Proud as
we are of Los Angeles, we may be
prouder yet when we think of the new
prospects opened by the success of
consolidation. Greater Los Angeles
will soon become the greatest city in
the west. The only obstacles to the
unlimited progress and prosperity of
Los Angeles were those which will be
removed by the success of consolida-
ton. When we think of the advan-
tages which will be enjoyed by the
bigger city and its fine seaport we
must not forget its glorious indepen'
dence. Although special interests may
and doubtless will attempt interior
ence with local affairs from time to
time, it will be almost impossible for
them to control or even to embarrass
Greater Los Angeles. Our city will be
emancipated from influences which
sought to keep it in thraldom.
If the citizens of Los Angeles exer-
else reasonable vigilance corporation
ism will find the metropolis of the west
too big a proposition to handle. The
future of San Pedro, the seaport of
Greater Los Angeles, is an especially
fascinating subject of study. Take the
map and look at the Pacific coast line
in North and South America; look at
the isles of the Orient, at Japan, at
Asia and at far-spread Australasia,
the principal countries of which, Aus
tralia and New Zealand, are inhabited
by bone of our bone and flesh of our
flesh, our "kin across the sea-"
We believe the news of the success
of consolidation, the Improvement Of
San Pedro, the seaport of Greater Los
Angeles, and the construction of the
Panama canal, will cause more genu-
inc excitement and joy in Australasia
than in any other part of the world,
because our keen-witted, clever ag-
gressive kindred under the southern
cross will realize what all these things
may mean to them at some time in the
NOT far distant future. Even If
Greater Los Angeles had less of the
Ego" and public spirit" than it en-
joys it would become the western
metropolis by sheer force of circum-
stances. 1t would not be able to help
itself. But Los Angeles is cour-
ageously conscious of destiny, eager
for opportunity and always willing to
do what's right and what's best in or
der TO produce the greatest good for
the greatest number of citizens, and
there is absolutely no limit to the pos
sibility of achievement which will
make the future history of our city
more remarkable than the past.
Remembering this, work and vote for
Greater Los Angeles. Don't forget to
work NOW, and when the time comes
! don't forget to VOTE and give your
friends neither rest nor peace until
they promise to vote. Greater Los An
geles has won the fight in the legisla-
ture. Now it must win the fight at
the polls.

OFFERS HIS PROOF OF THE
STORY CT RESURRECTION

LONG BEACH. March 8.-[Editor
Herald; May I give the student
from Duarte three ancient testimonies
from ancient history which he has over
looked on the subject of the resurrec-
ton?
CELSIUS, an Epicurean PHILOSOPHER,
wrote a book against Christianity about
A. d. $50, and Origen wrote eight books
in reply to him. CELSIUS admits Christ's
miracles and the resurrection as re-
corded in the gospels as true, but he
calls attention to the fact that one OF
the evangelists speaks of one angel at
the sepulcher, and another one speaks
of two He carps at Providence feeding
the ravens and at the genealogy OF
Christ going back to Adam, ETC., and
says: '"These things are all taken from
your own scriptures"
CELSIUS was not a contemporary Of the
times of Christ, but does any man OF
sound mind dare to deny his testimony
today? He lived only fifty years after
the apostolic times His testimony
shows the accuracy Of Paul and the
epistles he wrote.
Here is the testimony of Josephus
(Antiq. IS, 3:3) After PLATE. on the
ground of the accusation OF many OF
the chief men among us had condemned
him to death on the cross. those who
had first attached themselves to him
did not cease their attachment; for he
appeared again to them after three
days"
Here is the testimony Of man who
was born A. d. 81. He speaks to us
from the apostolic times.
Here is another very ancient testi-
mony: !:
Tacitus relates the story of lady of
illustrious birth. Pomponia Graecina.
wife of Aulus Plautius, the conqueror of
Britain, who, as he says, was accused
before the senate on charge OF for
eign superstition (Tac. Annals 1882.
1t was for long time conjectured that
this woman was tried for being
Christian, but now the conjecture Is an
established fact. This trial took place
in A. d. 81
In the crypt of Lucina. in the cata-
combs of Rome, which l had the
pleasure of visiting and seeing for my
self. has been found the very name of
this noble family-Pomponius Grae-
cinus. De Rossi thinks this name on
the crypt-Lucina-is Pomponia Grae-
Gina herself. Lightfoot says: TT Is
clear that this burial place was con-
structed by some Christian lady of rank
before the close of the first century.
Many, many others think 1t was at the
time named by Tacitus-A. d. 81. So
think Afford, Conybear and Howson.
Levin and Plumptre. This fact being
established and the fact being true
which 1 saw with my own eyes, that
MANY of these earliest inscriptions rep
resented the faith of these early Chris
tians in the resurrection proves beyord
q, doubt the fact of the belief OF the
first Christians in the resurrection OF
Christ and hence these things are posi-
tive proof from apostolic times of the
resurrection of Christ.

STAR CUSTOMER

II EPORTS compiled by the bureau
X of statistics show the star Gus
~ toner OF the United States is the
United Kingdom of Great Britain AND
Ireland. In the course of the year
complete figures with regard to which
have been compiled, our Scotch, Irish
and English friends spent in the
Tinted States-for value received-the
handsome sum of 1854, 747,076. If we
add to This the figure represented by
sales to Canada, the total is increased
to s707,376134. In one year the United
Kingdom and the Dominion are our
friends commercially to the extent OF
500. 000, 900 more than all the other ma
lions of the world combined, and we
would hesitate to guess what figures
might be reached after the completion
of San Pedro harbor adds the Austral-
asian countries to the number of our
profitable customers.
There are many reasons why the ma
tions that use the same language should
deal with each other. In the first place
and here is a consideration that
should not be overlooked-the language
saves them millions of dollars per an
mum. The United States and the
British empire form the strongest com
mercial combination there is any rec
crd of in the history Of the world.
Their vast industrialism, their multi
tudinocs energies, their desire-quickly
discovered by annexed" COUNTRYSIDE
conformity by far the most remarkable
energizing force in the world today.
In fact, without them-if such a con-
dition can be magined-civilizatio
would make two or three desperate at
tempts to readjust itself, and then
would collapse.

intelligently as this consolidation cam

doubt of the victory of consolidation.
But everybody interested in the cause

even as faith without works is dead

WOULD LIMIT FRANCHISE TO
THOSE WHO HAVE CHILDREN

LOS ANGELES, March 4.-[Editor
Herald: The wife and mother may
belong to the most important class or
women, but I think &c. F." has for
gotten the widow and mother. l don't
think he has the contemptuous attitude
toward women assumed by ST. X. G"
and others, but he has merely for
gotten millions of women who have
been bereft of their husbands by the
hand of death.
They have the dignity of mother
hood, and that must give them claim
to some Importance in the world. and
they have the double office of mother
and father to fill. They might stay at
home and remain in their so-called
"sphere." but, if they did, they would
soon have no home, and their children
would starve.
These women are filling fathers
place as bread winner, and at the
same time filling a mothers place
in caring for the physical wants or
their children and trying to bring them
up virtuously, yet who represents them
at the polls? There is no "John TO
say 'do this or that"
/ am not mentioning exceptional
cases when I say widows, for there
are thousands and millions of widows
everywhere, and why are they less inn
portant as mothers because they were
unfortunate enough to be Dere1t OF
their husbands? l may be trying to
bring my son up virtuously. and my
neighbor "a mani may vote TO put an
kinds of temptations in his way. while
I am told that 1t is none of my busi-
ness. because / am woman. l may
also be told that should have nothing
to do with fighting that organized
traffic" we read about, which may be
sending wolves out after my daughter.
1t may be that spinsters are OF no
Importance in the world, because they
are not mothers. but If we dlslran !.
cbise everyone who does not represent
the home and children, let us, disfran-
chise the bachelors. too. I suggest that
we limit the franchise to people with
children, regardless of sex.

SPORT AND GAMBLING

NAMBLING hardens the heart and
tT destroys some OF the best there
VI is in humanity-the part that
differentiates man from the brutes and
which when cultivated and developed
makes him a little lower than the an
gels. Lucky Baldwin is dead and a
poor little jockey was killed on the
Arcadia track recently. We do not
believe that in the sight of heaven Mr..
Lucky Baldwin was of any more i'm
portance than the nameless jockey;
yet it might have been supposed the
death of the millionaire genius of the
turf would have had some saddening
influence on those engaged in the race
track gambling game, even if the death
of the jockey failed to move them. But
neither the death of the rich race track
"magnate" nor of the poor race track
rider had the slightest effect on the
promoters and devotees of the gamb-
ling game. 1t had to go on and it went
on briskly and uninterruptedly This
dsgraceful fact should convince even
the most liberal minded that between
true, clean sport and its vile and per-
verified travesty, the infatuating and
demoralizing gambling game, there is
a we'll marked difference.
