other questions to lie in allegiance until
vital questions are more generally un-

unjust to the publishers of The Herald,
no less than to its contributors. Hop

DENIES MEN OF WEALTH
POSSESS SPECIAL TALENT

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 18.-[Ed-
itor Herald: So much dishonest apol-
ogy, sinister sOphistry and abuse of
ambiguous words intended to mislead
public opinion is used by professed
reformers of influence and position for
defense of the indefensible, the justi-
fication of wrong, that 1 am often in
clined to think all such men arrant
hypocrites. They are worse than hyp-
ocrites; they are towards, though they
may be clothed in the skins of lions.
An instance Of such seems to be the
Rev. DR.. Parkhurst of New York City,
who has recently said, through the
press, Some men have a talent for
making money" which he says "is
gift, as much so as painting or ora
tory" And since some men are born
with this gift, while others are not,
men are not created equaL' and no
legislation will make them so. Notice
that he places this talent on a par
with one for painting or OratOry Now,
DR.. Parkhurst we'll knows that no man
can make money" 1t is a deceptive
term and is used for deception. Its
use is TO cover up the real nature of
a passion developed to a baneful eX-
tent and resulting in an uncommon
degree Of success for its possessOr and
cultivator, and to the detriment of
others. The desire to possess the Crea-
tions of others without giving in return
an equal value Of created wealth is
common desire, but it cannot be called
virtuous or just desire, and for
preacher of righteousness to eXtol it
or damn it with faint praise" is to
show that he is not a righteous preach
er. Not so did Jesus. But Parkhursts
teaching is common with his guild,
with public sentiment generally, and is
supported by common and statute law.
But what are preachers of righteous
ness for IL they are to conform to these
prevalent conceptions of what is
proper or just? Oratory and painting
are beneficial TO humanity. They add
to the intellectual and aesthetic wealth
of the world. But not so that process
which the irreverent reverend calls
making money" What it means is
really capturing wealth. The captOrs
of wealth make nothing. Their aVoca-
ton is to capture, not to create or pro-
duce They capture the resources Of
nature for the production of wealth.
They capture the inventions of men
for increasing the effectiveness of la
Dor. but they invent nothing to that
end They capture the wealth pro-
duced, but they produce no wealth.

ASKS IF CHANGE CAN
OVERCOME ENVIRONMENT

Los ANGELES, Aug. 22.-[Editor
Herald1 DR.. Humanitas evidently be-
lieYes that the material universe and
natural man live this material life only,
and since he can find perfection no.
where he denies or refuses to believe
that man is perfected hereafter; yea,
worse, he does not believe in God the
supreme perfect man and substitutes
mere change. He says: Change is
the only constant thing we know of
and that is the principle which has
caused the development of all that is
this constant struggle to overcome en-
yironment."
Now change is not thing in ITSELF
neither is it principle causing any
thing; the question always is: Who or
what caused the change? Thus he
mixes up effect with cause and contra
diets himself Can change struggle to
overcome environment? Come, now,
doctor, give us something sensible.
I agree with G. r. Luna in todays
Letter Box and will further quote the
following which I hold to be truth:
at is a general rule or law that
nothing can exist and subsist from it
self, but from another, that is by an
other, and that nothing can be kept in
form except from another, that is, by
another, as is manifest from all and
singular things in nature. That the
human body from without is kept in
form by the atmosphere is a known
thing and unless it was also kept in
form by some acting or living force
it would instantly fall to pieces. Every
thing unconnected with what is prior
to itself, and by things prior with
what is prime Cor firsD Immediately

RED BLUFF, Cal, Aug. 23.--John
Mcintosh was beaten to death in the
city jail here yesterday and Jerry Des-
mond sustained a fractured skull and
other injuries that probably will re-
suit in his death.
John Lowery, also known as John
Sullivan, who occupied the cell with
the dead man and his companion, is
held to await the findings of the coro-
ners inquest, now in progress.
Mcintosh and Lowery We're two of
a hundred men discharged recently by
a company which operates a power
ditch at Manton. Together with Des-
mond, character well known in Red
Bluff. the men were arrested for
drunkenness. During the evening the
jailer heard cries of murder" and
screams Of rage, but paid no attention
until some time later, when he opened
the door to find Mcintosh dead on the
floor, and Desmond bleeding from the
mouth. and ears.
Lowery, who was in bare feet, de-
clared he knew nothing of the tragedy.
The jail officials believed he used his
shoes to beat his two companions.
Lowery came here from Mojave. The
antecedents of Mcintosh are not known.
Desmond is expected to regain con-
sciousness. but until then the details
of the fight cannot be learned.

INDIGNANT AT MAN WHO
MALIGNED LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2O.-[Editor
Herald: l am following with interest
the sentiment apparently for anneXa-
ton in the district just west of Los
Angeles. AS a citizen of Los Angeles
I want to know, however, before |
shall vote in favor, whether the people
of that district believe. as one of their
leading citizens has said that Los An
geles has a corrupt government that
she will make a failure of the aqueduct
and is not fit to handle the harbor;
that the city is, in brief, "a slippery
eel"
This citizen deliberately put the citi-
zens of that section on record as be-
lieving all that. If they do believe it,
as he said during the consolidation
campaign then they are coming in
purely for selfish motives or only a
small minority really wants anneXR-
ton. In that case Los Angeles citi
zens ought not to vote in favor of
taking them in
On the other hand, if they have been
misquOted by man who asplres TO be
one of their leading lights, it is due to
their own movement that they go on
record to that effect. So, far the state
ment made by the man referred to
putting them thus on record has not
been denied or challenged by any other
citizen of that district except Post
master Mot Flint, and he spoke for
himself alone.
While on this it is proper to offer
the opinion that it should be made a
serious matter to bespatter the good
name of Los Angeles. When a man
stands up and deliberately attacks the
credit and the character of this city
her citizens ought to remember him.
and in future when he seeks office or
other honor even so small an honor
as a chance to deliver a speech, her
citizens should say, as Wendell Phil
lips advised labor: you may beat
your grandmother. you can mortgage
your house to make yourself a sot, or
you have full privilege to do many
worse things, but the minute you
slander and malgn the city of Los
Angeles you are a dead duck"
I think the sincerity of the people in
the district adjoining the city on the
west is in question until they repudi-
ate the position they have been
placed in. r. H.

EDITORIAL ON FAIR PLAY

SOUTH PASADENA, Aug. 21.-TEdi-
tor Herald: Among many things to
enjoy in The Herald was Fair Play
in your issue Of August 4. I was very
glad of the expression of that sentiment
by the editor. What is too seldom
found is the disposition of editors, and
people generally, to be fair; to treat all
classes Of thinkers justly Whether
contributors to the Letter Box are ''all
good people" or not the writer is very
glad The Herald gives the opportunity
for discussion pro and con of the Vari-
Gus questions occupying the attention
of thoughtful people. When writer
advocates child labor" and says it is
unchTistian to advocate it's abolition
one naturally begrudges the space oc-
cupied, And when one reads the asser-
tiOn that there is no excuse for poverty
and ignorance one can but wish that
before peuuing these lines the author
had read of the vast machinery which
has lately moro than ever, been TAX
ing the place OF men, and of the thou
sands Of children who spend their days
and wears in mines and factories, work

done so she could never have said there
was no excuse for poverty and ignOr-
ance" And again had the writer known,
as have /, some confirmed materialstS,
persons who did not believe in God
or Immortality, who were Yet among the
best and most earnest advocates of
right and justice, she could not have
said. There is no reason why persons
who are not believers in God should do
right" 1t is not because but notwith
standing such persons are materialists
that they do right, Nor is it because
but Notwithstanding, people believe I'm

Yes, woman's power for good has been
often revealed in both modern ana an

prominent as philosophers, and men OF
moral worth, claimed to have derived
much of this knowledge and a most
ennobling influence from the life Of
Aspasia. Yet history does not teach
