STAGE AS TRUE EDUCATOR
INDORSED BY WORKING GIRL

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2S.-[Editor
Herald: [ hope a mere working girl
may be allowed through your Letter
Box to thank Mr.. Broadhurst for his
reply to Mr.. Locke's attack on the
stage. I have been a constant attend
ant so far as my means would allow,
of the theater for two years past,
spending the money that I lay out
with the idea that in that way I get
amusement and an education, both of
which l greatly need, as cheaply as it
is possible to get them.
Sermons do not appeal to me as sat-
isfying my amusement needs, and there
are thousands, am sure, who feel as
1 do. Neither do they give the educa-
tion L want. When 1 go to see such
plays as Ben Hur'' and the series
attended at the Auditorium I get an
idea Of other countries and times that
I could not get in any other way, and
certainly not by sermons.
1 also saw Mrs. Warren's Profess
sion," to which one of your correspond
ents alludes, and I am sure it did me
good. l knew it to be true. Anyhow,
the stage in such plays can never show
us anything we do not see on the
streets and read in the papers.
I think the trouble is that ministers
do not understand how much we who
are shut up in factories crave for
amusement, and that it is very easy
for those who lead easy and well-to-do
lives to fancy that what seems good to
them will suit the rest of us.

Porto Rico Has Made Great
Progress Under Free Trade

HI REE trade between Porto Rico
n and the United States has given
the island commerce remarkable
stimulus that is prophetic of futre de-
velopment. Governor Regis H. Post,
who is now in the United States on
a visit, is enthusiastic over the out
look and predicts rapid progress to-
ward even a better showing than Is
made in recent statistics. Free trade
was declared July 4. 1901. For the fiscal
year ended in June, 1901, the entire
trade of the island was less than $18,-
100000. For the fiscal year ended in
June, 1908, the trade Of Porto Rico was
more than $56,000000, of which at least
$45,000,O00 was with the United States.
1t is significant that the purchasing
power of the island is steadily in
creasing. For the year 1907-08 Porto
Rico bought of the United tSates goods
valued at $25, 100000, a sum $1,000 900
in excess of the entire trade of the
island in 1900 This year it is expect
ed that purchases in the United States
will amount to at least 100000, 900, says
the Washington Post.
The remarkable progress made in the
culture of tobacco is another encour-
aging sign. Under Spanish rule a
small amount of tobacco of excellent
quality was grown, but it was not al

Ministers should beware of allowing
their personal feelings to lead them to
give details as to political subjects in
which they may be interested. A New
York minister who in a sermon took
occasion to refer to Theodore Roosevelt
as one of the FOUR great presidents of
the United States was interrupted by
a man in the body Of the church, who,
evidently thinking he had drifted into
a mass meeting, shouted: 'T make a
point Of order" We sympathize with
the interrupter, rude as he was. Surely
those who restrict the number Of great
presidents to four are doing an injus-
tice to some of the others.

HE SHOWS "cRYING NEED" OF
PUBLIC MUSEUM IN THE CITY

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23.-[Editor
Herald: The public at large does not
imagine and cannot realize what is
meant by ''a crying need for a great
museum to be located in the city for
scientific exhibits and for many other
things in the way Of art and in
genuity.
But if the scientific world could be
forcibly reminded by anything like a
popular expression Of thought, and an
appreciation of the idea that is here
conveyed, it is more than likely that
some enlightened body of scientists,
some noted professors and some people
Of independent wealth, desirous Of
gaining fame, would come forward with
the plans to materialize this project.
1t is but a short time ago that within
stones throw of this city there un-
eXpectedly was unearthed a large col
lection of animal remains of ancient
origin, which have been wonderfully
preserved from decay by the chemical
composition of a local oil pit, and
which consequently were attracting
general attention for some months
past. This incident is so well described
in a magazine published in San Fran
cisco in it's October issue of last year
that there is a danger of some outside
organization carrying off these prizes,
and a warning voice must certainly be
raised lest our chance to begin a
museum is allowed to slip from u.s.,
Not only is a pathway to such new
municipal or civic achievement plainly
opened but the trend of events is
about to compel this city to gather
to itself other things, notably the
fruits of genius; a fact well seen by
many enterprising citizens. 1t is, there
fore, timely to have pointed out the
opportunities and our need of a place
in which to house them. S. F.

FORTIFICATIONS

FTER Senator Flint had stated a
u smaller amount would not be suf-
- ficient to buy the land the senate
increased from $25O,O00 to 100000 the
appropriation for the purchase of ITO
acres at San Pedro as a site for forti-
fications. The Notifications bill passed
by the senate carried appropriations ag-
gregating $S,32O,00O. The site appro-
priation is a recognition by the senate
Of the fact that values in California
cannot be measured by values in many
other parts of the United States. OBJ
structionists tried to persuade the SEN
ate committee and the senate to "hold
up" the appropriation.
The senate committee was informed
the price asked for land needed for
San Pedro Notifications was $500 an
acre, and that few years ago it could
have been bought for $40 an acre. So
it was proposed the fortification and
ordnance bill reported to the United
States senate should not contain any
item for the purchase Of land needed.
Increase in land values in California
10 p1lCLOAIlOI1ols anu " n16dSuT0 OoLll-
fornia advances by the custom and
precedent OF the eastern land market
would be unjust AT the same time,
who is really to blame for the fact the
fortifcation program was threatened
with delay incidental to condemna-
tion proceedings?
Does not every one know the govern
ment is as well posted as is any
private citizen as to the manners, GUS
toms and methods of the Southern Pa
cific? Undoubtedly the senate commit
tee was afraid the corporation which is
associated with numberless attempts
to use the prosperity of Southern Cali
fornia for its own purposes might "put
up land job" on Uncle Sam.

lowed to be made into cigars for ex-
port. Under the liberal conditions Of
American control there are now about
$4,000 acres in tobacco and $1,000, 900
cigars are manufactured annually.
The cultivation of citrus fruits is
making considerable progress, and as
the conditions are equal it will not be
long before Porto Rico will be the
principal supply for the rapidly in
creastng demand Of the United States
for oranges, lemons and grapefruit. And
this means that, under the favorable
transportation conditions, this garden
island of the tropics will go far toward
supplying the Unitedf States with it's
breakfast delicacies and tropical neces-
stiles.
wonderfully interesting economic
and political experiment is being car
rled out in Porto Rico under the pro-
lection of the American flag. With
the guarantee of political peace protec-
ton of property, economic freedom and
equal opportunity, the mixed Latin
native blood is given a chance Of civic
and industrial development that it
never has had before. What ultimate
level Of civilization the people Of the Is
land will reach under these fayoring
circumstances, what new type of cui-
ture will be attained, the years alone
can tell, but the beginnings are dis
tlnctly encouraging

WHERE WOMEN RULE

M HILE various nations are still
wv squabbling over and debating
the question of the suffrage for
women, and while suffragettes are de-
voting themselves to the cause of
emancipation, there is one little coun-
try where woman is on an exact equal
ity with man, 'and even more so,' in
asnuch as the women voters outnum-
ber the men. This is Finland where
there are 606, 1902 male voters and 666,071
female. Several of the political leaders
of Finland are women, and many
women are members Of the Finnish diet
or parliament.
The movement for the equal rights
of the women of Finland was begun in
the '80s of the nineteenth century. At
first the question of suffrage was kept
in the background. The women were
working to help the men toward the
emancipation of the country from the
tyranny of autocratic Russian rule.
The crisis was reached in the years
from 1899 to 1906 when the laws of Fin
land were openly defed by the author
tiles, and the country was ruled with
a, rod of iron. Scores Of people were
sent into exile for no just reason. The
police made domiciliary visits and
broke up homes The people were al
most reduced to a state of servility.
At last the position became intolerable.
The people combined to free themselves
from the terrible Russian yoke.
An attempt was made to crush the
movement by force Of arms, but the
Russian troops sent to subdue the
rebels were in sympathy with them.
Then followed the biggest and most
successful general strike on record.
The authorities were rendered helpless
by an organized strike Of every indus
try and every institution in the coun-
try. Railways, schools, stores, banks,
nnills-every form of business or. social
activity stopped simultaneously. There
upon the czar granted the right of suf-
frage to both men and women. The
only adult inhabitants of Finland dis
qualified from voting are criminals,
paupers and people who have not paid
their taxes for two years. All kinds of
complications have resulted from the
extension Of the franchise in Finland.
For instance, three married couples are
members of the diet. Twelve of the
women members are married, but their
once-lords and ex-masters are not in
parliament, so they have to stay at
home and mind the baby while mamma
makes laws One of the members of
parliament is a baroness, but her cook
was elected as the representative of the
domestic servants, so the champion of
the Finnish domestics now votes with
or against her mistress, and holds de-
bates with her on the floor. Gilbert
and Sullivan certainly missed a. trick
by failing to- live until the suffragettes
invaded the Finnish parliament. 1t
must be said, however, that there is
nothing humorous in the results
achieved, which have been excellent.
Not only are the interests of domestic
servants specially cared for in the Fin
nish parliament, but women have been
appointed to important Offices For in
stance, the inspector of factories is a
woman. We wonder what the Fins
think and say about the "suffragette''
riots in free and enlightened Britain
and the strong opposition to female suf-
frage in the even more free and more
enlightened United States.

WOMAN BELIEVES IN POWER
AND INSISTS ON HER SHARE

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 22.-LEditor
Herald1: Yes, little one, women want
the ballot because they want power;
power on equal terms with men. Make
the property or educational uualifica-
tions ever so high, so they apply
equally to both sexes, and women will
be satisfied.
If women were anarchists they would
join the Anarchists club and advocate
perfect freedom. Women are not an
archists because they know they are
safer when they see law personified in
blue coat and brass buttons.
If women were anarchists they would
look with disfavor on marriage. but
history tells that when anarchy was
supreme every woman was at the
mercy of any man who chose to assault
ner, and the women of today, aware of
the horrors Of that far away past, are
grateful for man-made marriage laws
bad as they are.
When women, equally with men, as
slst In framing laws they will have no
one but themselves to blame if they
live under laws not to their liking
An honest anarchist would ally him
self to one of the three classes to
which he is eligible, and not retain the
right to vote while denying that right
to women. Old Aesop's fable Of the dog
in the manger is apropos.
The majority of voters in the United
States are workingmen. For years they
have lived under the rule Of a political
party which is the embodiment Of
monopoly, and at the election last No
vember they reaff1rmed their belief that
the party which advocates and believes
IN monopoly is their best friend, and
by an overwhelming majority they
again put the stamp Of their approval
upon its policy.
Do the anarchists think they know
what is better for workingmen than
these self same workingmen know what
is to their own best interests?
Do the anarchists want to dictate?
If they keep on guessing as to what
is the trouble with the country they
may arrive at the TRUTH, careful
reading of the history of woman suf-
frage in the public library will help
them to a right conclusion.

DEFENDS USE OF BALLoT.IF
WOMAN GETS THE PRIVILEGE

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23.-[Editor
Heraldl: ct. K. G." complains because
Marion Martin did not refute his argu-
ment that there is no justice in the
ballot" Now, isn't that just like a
man? He made his argument an in
dictment of his sex for misuse Of the
ballot, and expected woman, who is
denied it's privileges, to disprove his
assertion. Whereas she accepted it as
fact, because ''T. K. G." adds that it
"all depends on the wielders."
The modus operandi of man relative
to his use of the ballot is less vital to
woman than his arrogant assumption
that woman is not entitled to it's use,
or that he should be the judge of her
fitness to use it intelligently.
If ct. K. G." is in favor of disfran-
chising man because he has made bad
use Of the ballot then Marion Martin
has no further argument with him; but
when he contends that Intelligent peo-
pie will not put in the hands Of others
an instrument that may be used for
brutal tyranny he comes back to his
original claim that all intelligence
wears masculine garb.
When the ballot has been granted to
different classes Of male citizens no
guarantee has been required as to how
it would be used. 1t is only when
woman is the petitioner that fear of
the misuse of the ballot touches the
dawning intelligence of man and leads
him to think to attach a string to the
privilege.
"T. K. G." assumes that because of
the ignorance of woman, possession of
the ballot would be a menace to the
liberty of man, but fails to see that the
ignorance of man, who now possesses
it, is far more dangerous to woman
without it.
The lion may hold the gate, but the
mouse will creep through, for all his
roaring; and when the franchise has
been granted to woman the lion will
find he was only a donkey instead of a
lion; and the windmills of fancy he
tilted at were but the tapping of his
own ears. MARION MARTIN.

lNSISTENT THAT MIND CAN
EXIST APART FROM MATTER

LOS ANGELES. Feb. 2O.-[Editor
Herald: Charming Severance says:
THE futile effort Of c. r. and r. N
to get outside Of matter is amusing
and shows how perverted reason can
make one despite visible nature and
look with contempt on the wonders of
our solar system
No doubt it is amusing to the per-
verted reason which would cause one
to write such hyperbolicaI fatuity.
Where will he find anything in my
letters that would indicate that I de-
spise visible nature or look with con-
tempt on the beauty of anything?
Mr.. Severance evinces the natural in
aptitude of the materialist to compre-
hend spiritual statements. 1 never in
timated or admitted that mind could
be weakened or destroyed by changes
in matter" 1 recognize mind to be
God, and man controls matter through
this mind by conforming his thought
to the divine idea, and not to a ma
terial sense of life and action.
The fact that one individual can by
this method induce certain harmonious
conditions in another Individual and
compel their physical manifestation, to
wit, the removal of disease and sin
full habits, instances the presence of
power apart from material associa-
tion.
Surgical autopsies have revealed the
fact that insanity has existed where
the brain was in a normal condition.
The Bible says: Whatsoever God hath
done, it shall be forever" Nothing can
be added to it, nor anything taken
from it, and God having made (spirit-
uaD man and endowed him with GER
tain attributes, among which are life
and intelligence, it follows that he
must always possess these, and to
manifest anything different results
from believing the old serpentine lie,
that these things inhere in matter in
stead Of Mind, God.
c. S. asks for evidence Of minds sur
vival, the fact that we have evidence
of its existence today is sufficient. Mat
ter is suffering destruction always:
mind never. Now don't confuse mind
with mortal consciousness. r, N.

GOOD BUSINESS RECORD

TN desperation over their failure to
find any flaws in the character or
Il the business and political record
Of George Alexander the pro-vice pa
pers have gone to the mud pond. The
quality of the mud they are using in
their campaign of vilification lacks one
quality which is indispensable to the
success of mud-slinging. 1t is not
sticky. And the mud-slingers cannot
find any mud that will stick to George
Alexander. AS far as his business
record is concerned we think his course
of conduct on the board of supervisors
| was PRETTY GOOD BUSINESS FOR
LOS ANGELES. In fact, he was the
right man in the right place and has
placed this community, from a purely
BUSINESS point of view, under a
heavy BUSINESS obligation to him,
for which we taxpayers may we'll show
gratitude, if there is any gratitude n
the business world, and we think
there is.
Mr.. Alexander's fidelity TO the best
interests of Los Angeles is proverbial.
That is why many people call him
Honest George" even as, for similar
reasons, people used to call Abraham
Lincoln Honest Abe" When a man
! is obstinately and persistentIy honest
enough to be called, by way of nick
name, Honest" he is a pretty good
! kind Of a citizen, isn't he?
Political history affords few prece-
| dents for the spectacle which is now
attracting attention in Los Angeles. A
good Republican-one Of the finest in
the United States-is also such a good
| citizen that his fellow citizens, ire
spective of politics, ask him to repre-
sent them in fight for clean, moral,
honest, economic city government.
AND THE LEADING REPUBLI-
| CAN NEWSPAPER OF SOUTH
CALIFORNIA HURRIES TO THE
MUD POND FOR AMMUNITION
WITH WHICH TO ASSAIL THIS
GOOD CITIZEN, the choice and NOM
inee of all the good citizens of Los
Angeles! We ask our Republican
morning contemporary to answer this
| question:
WHETHER IS 1T BECAUSE HE
IS A GOOD CITIZEN OR BECAUSE
HE IS A REPUBLICAN YOU ARE
TRYING TO MUCK GEORGE ALEX
ANDER?"
| You will FAIL, and probably you
know it. We are certain many good
citizens who are independent Republi-
cans and believe in the standards of
Roosevelt by the conduct of our Re-
publican morning contemporary will
be led to work and vote for George
Alexander.
