Reports from Texas and Mexico
show that the new vegetable wax
made from the Candelilla plant has
met with unusual success on the
markets of Europe. One London
firm has written to secure conslgn-
ments of fifty tons a month. Mex
leo expects to export $50 tons a
month. This will mean about two
million dollars year for the
growers and manufacturers of the
wax.
The Candelilla plant is said to
produce wax, rot only equal but
superior to the famous Carnauba
wax. As yet. the product of
this kind of wax is small,

Criminal Procedure Methods

Ia there was no doubt. That he
was a man who shrank from no
scheme by which he might line his
pockets there is not the slightest ques-
ton, The evidence that he was re
sponsible for nearly all the rascality
which afflicted San Francisco during
the time he was in power may not
stand legal scrutiny, but it is convinc-
ing enough to satisfy every one who
has followed his career. But despite
this opinion, which is shared by an
overwhelming majority of the COM
munity, there has, from the begin
ming, been a fear that the technicali-
ties Of the law, and the INSCRIPTIONS
methods Of his defenders, who have
not hesitated to employ every method
legal and illegal, to help their client,
might result in a miscarriage of JUS
tice. Unfortunately this feeling ex-
tended so far that it began to be
feared that the jury system was wholly
indispensable and could not be relied
upon when it's services were needed to
convict a criminal whose cunning in
employing the means of defense, which
a too lax system Of criminal procedure
permits, is equal to his ingenuity in
devising modes of corrupting weak of
ficials and of robbing the people, says

SAYS WoMAN's DEPENDENCE
is FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 26.-lEdltor
Herald: Elizabeth Quigley has touched
on an important question, /. e. the SUI
frace movement and the advent OF the
new woman" This movement Is
causing or is a symptom of a world
wide awakening.
Bernard Shaw said: Liberty means
responsibility; that is why men fear IT,
Hero the question arises, does woman
want the added responsibility, the re-
sponsibility that means development!
IT means woman will be self-rellant IN
every respect; she will be practical;
for. to be Independent, is to be useful
in the highest sense. She Will know
more of the practical sciences, afls
and professions, and less of the dead
languages, bridge whist and pink teas.
The day for dolls and doll houses is
gone: it's time for grown ups!
Abraham Lincoln said: This nation
cannot endure half free and half
slave" Evolution is slow but sure.
Woman now is conceded to be mans
equal mentally, j. e., when she has the
chance to develop. WOman's economic
dependence on man is fundamentally
wrong and pernicious; nowhere In ma
ture do we find a parallel. 1t is the
root and branch of the tree that
blooms in unhappiness, repression, di-
vorce race suicide and children cursed
before birth.
Where woman has the right of fran
chise she has awaited herself of it
wisely. 1t deVolyes on woman to bear
the burden of perpetuating the race
(and often it means the giving of her
aID, and this is truly a public service
in the noblest sense; therefore, it is
only just that she should have an
equal voice in determining the des-
TIMES Of her kind which she now has
not. All hail the new woman and
let's give her a chance!

SAYS HE REGRETS INADEoUAcY

FASAllENA, Dec. 81 Editor Her
aldI: W. e. Brown no doubt speaks
with authority for Christian Scientists
In TINS mornings Herald Letter Box
IN relation to their attitude toward the
existing industrial and social svs-
lem TEN. his answer is certainly given in
the spirit in which my inquiry was
made, but 1 regret sincerely the made
guacy of the answer, Christian
scientists perceive much that is not
rlght IN these systems, but that thew
90 not believe in iconoclasm as a cure. =
says Mr. Brown. Webster defines
leonoclast as "a breaker Of idols; one
VINO attacks cherished beliefs: radi-
car; all of which l submit is a perfect
description of a Christian Scientist in
the realm of orthodox religion and in
the entire field of metaphysical reason
ing. Why the change of front when
approaching the material problems of
mankind, Mr.. Brown? Again YOU saw
that Z. S. does not believe that evil
can be legislated out of existence, but
IN the next paragraph you state that
Z. ). believes in the wisest possible
legislation that will hold evil and
selfishness in check and encourage
equity to ALL" With this latter state
ment the Socialist has no quarrel. but
II you cannot legislate evil out of
existence" how is it possible, by vot-
ing to support the existing industrial
and social system to "legislate to hold
evil in check?" etc. And finally, in
your concluding paragraph you postu-
late a theory for the practical appli-
cation of which the world has waited
in vain for 1900 years, viz, the voIun-
tary practice of the Golden Rule as
applied to the material affairs of man
kind. Jesus Christ alone had the
courage of his convictions i'm this mat
ter, and he was tried, convicted and
killed on the charge of being an an
archist and a disturber of the then
existing order, which experience of
Christ truly explains why Christian
Scientists in common with all other
followers of Christ do not believe in
iconoclasm" or, in other words, the
practicing of what they preach, in re-
1ation to the material affairs of man
kind-simply fear of personal conse-
quences-which would have been Mr..
Browns reply to my inquiry, if bereft
of words. J. MALCOMB JONES.

BELIEVES MIND AND MATTER
ARE SEPARATE SUBSTANCES

SATICOY, Jan. 1.-[Editor HERALD:
A. c. says in your issue of November
10 that Mind and matter are insepa-

I am glad that he acknowledges mind
to be q, substance. For one am posi-
tive of two substances in existence,
mind and matter; the immaterial and
material; the invisible and visible; the
intangible and tangible; the immaterial
without weight, the material with
weight; the spiritual and the natural
they acknowledge both mind and mat
ter to be a substance.
The definition of material substance
is: 1t possesses weight, penetrability
and inertia; its natural and self-evident
condition is a state of rest, not of mo-
ton; it is both visible and tangible
and no two of it's particles can occupy
the same place in space at the same in
slant of time.
On the other hand, immaterial sub
stance possesses no weight, is not i'm
tivity, although invisible and intangi-
BILE; it can be proved 90 have a real
existence, because of the power or force
which it possesses by which it is capa-
BILE of setting matter into motion; more
over, several immaterial substances
can not only co-exist but can also CO.
exist and occupy the same space with
particles of material substances at the
same time or instant; showing that
matter is but the visible expression of
different combinations of immaterial
force. S. H. L.
