Magdalene keenly penetrates it hun
dred times.
What's the use of writing and talk
ing and thinking how nice the world
would be If we were all possessors OF
certificates of morality from Rookie
feller's Sunday school, when we
aren't and haven't any chance to be In
thousand years? Why not accept
things as Mary Magdalene does and
try to remedy them all we can in our
poor ways? Mary MaSdalene knows,
and knowing is wise. These other Wo-
men don't know don't want to know
and wouldn't know If they did know
I have no more idea of who Mary
Magdalene is than has my esteemed
contemporary Senex or c. d. O., but
can appreciate the Magdalene letters
because every word rings true. From
my lofty position as a man OF the
world 1 sympathize with her and wish
her all success in her struggle to live
down the past. Some day I'll get mar
ried and then my past will obliglngly
crawl into a hole and pull the hole after
it. But Mary is learning the old-time
lesson that woman lives to learn, While
man lives to forget.
Here's hoping that honest Mary $
righteously directed pen will bring con-
fusion to the ranks of her sisters who
direct their feeble billets from the al
ready shaky ramparts of don t-you-

IS DISSATISFIED WITH
WORKING OF GAME LAWS

QUARTZ. Aug. 14.-[Editor Herald:
I read with interest your editorial of
August II, "Sportsmen Protest" Did
you ever consider the other side Of the
question? For whom were the game
laws passed, or who receives the most
benefit from them? A few Sports"
whom I dub "city bloods" I believe in
protecting game of all kinds, unless
said game becomes a damage to crops.
In regard to doves, the season should
be closed for all time; they are the
farmers best friend, their food being
weed seed and insects exclusively. In
some localities, especially in vineyards
near the foothills, quails often do great
damage. l was obliged to grub out a
vineyard of two acres, as the quail
destroyed the grapes before they were
ripe. Did 1 shoot the quail? Oh, no;
was not allowed to do so; I must
raise the quail for the city bloods to
come out and shoot-and come they
did, from three to five a day, over
running the place. shooting among the
orange trees, and at times the shot
rafting against the house.
One of the sports started through the
orange orchard, and I asked him where
he was going. His reply was: None
Of your d business"
If mo Shooting" signs are posted
around the property they pay no at
tention to them some of the sports
going so far as to shoot the signs.
The farmer is often obliged to raise
the game by allowing it to damage or
destroy his crops, yet he is not allowed
to kill the game, even during the open
season, even on his own property, with
out a license to do so. fail to see the
Justice in such law, and would be
pleased to have anyone enlighten me In
regard to it. ORANGE GROWER.

BELIEVES DIRECTING
FORCE is ESSENTIAL

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 12.-[Editor
Herald: confess to no little as
tonishment today when 1 read Line
mans" statement that Religion Is not
a directing force, but a propelling
force" He further asks, can this force
be used for good only?"
The truth is: 1t is both propelling
and a directing force. or should be, TO
reach the ideal.
The trouble has been with all re-
ligions, Christianity included, that
they recognize and put in practice only
the propelling force to do great things
for the glory of God, not needing the
directing force, which would have led
men in the path of righteousness, in
stead of confusion.
Imagine our electric car system with
its propelling force, with no directing
force to guide, or a ship at sea with
it's mighty engines forcing on without
a rudder to direct it's course. Even so
by losing sight of the fact of its being
also a directing force, men fail to at
tain to perfection.
The precepts and admonitions written
in the scriptures are written to direct
men in the way they should go.
Now as touching the statement that
the sacred writings of the Hebrews
were considered allegorlcal fiction by
many of the fathers, I would say
that their beliefs do not make them
so. 1t is undoubtedly true that much
of the scriptures is written in parable
and simllitudes, and men falling to un-
derstand them have denied them, or
written them down as fiction. The ef-
fects of the fall of our first parents,
for instance, have been so apparent that
we are forced to the belief that some
things happened" And Paul says,
"These things happened to them for
examples" The little incident record
ed in Gen. tx, regarding the transgres-
sion of Ham explained in Lev. xx:2),
entailing a lasting curse upon Canaan
and his posterity even to this day
proves that these things happened" ."
And countless other things which tNese
men in their wisdom have denied.
The new commandment which Jesus
gave, "That ye love one another" has
never been obeyed in its fullness. A
merciful, tender, compassionate love.

sUFFRAeETTE HINTS THAT
WOMEN MAY TAKE UP ARMS

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17.-[Editor
Herald: In this mornings Herald
you make a misstatement to which 1
wish to call your attention, believing
1t is your desire to keep history
straight.
In speaking of the excessively high
percentage for taxes you say "the peo-
ple themselves voted for these (the
Owens river bonds)."
I take 1t that you did not intend
willfully to misstate the truth, but the
truth compels me to call your atten-
ton to the fact that one-half of the
adult people" of Los Angeles are wo-
men, and in Los Angeles the idiots,
the insane and women do not vote.
The property of women should not
be taxed.
The Revolutionary fathers fought
against taxation without representa-
ton, the English suffragettes are
Fighting against taxation without rep
resentation.
Will 1t be necessary for the tax
paying women of the United States to
fight against taxation without repre-
sentation?
The martyrs are not all dead yet.

r. X. G. WILL RENDEZVOUS
EVEN IF HE is ALL ALONE

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20.-[Editor
Herald: "Commuter," though perhaps
a trife hippant in his style, has hit 1t.
We positively must have a picnic. 1t
may lead to the most interesting de-
velopments, for "big oaks from little
acorns grow"
For my own humble part I have long
felt that type is a most tantallzingly
cold medium of communication, and
have yearned to meet face to face with
Marion Martin, Mary Magdalene, vera
Fideia and others-to say nothing OF
the male contingent.
Some one must take the initiative,
and time should not be frittered away
in arranging details. l thereby pocket
my native modesty and hereby an
nounce that l shall be at the entrance
to Sycamore park at p. m. sharp
Saturday, August 2S.
I shall wear a sunfower In my but
tonhole, and 1 suggest that others
adopt the same emblem. that Boxers
NAV know their own. l have selected
that flower because it is easy to obtain,
while not customarily worn. Yet 1t is
redolent with aestheticism, besides
making excellent chicken feed.
Saturday seems to me the best daV,
because most of us can get off duty
then. Moreover, as Sunday is a holi-
day, the discussions can. if necessary,
be kept up until Mondays whistles
summon us once more to work.
Yes, I shall certainly be there, even
If-which may the gods forbid have
to rendezvous alone.
BY the way I shall not bring a
camera along, and I shall be entirely
unarmed.

How II Started

Now when Jacob had given the
"savory kid soup" to Isaac, ana the
latter pleased with the gift had given
to his son the much-sought-after pater-
nal blessing, 10. Esau stuck his head
through the tent-nap and did pour mol
ten words upon the trick which had
scabbed him Of his birthright And
after some hours, when his anger was
well-nigh spent, he shot the topic sent
ence straight:
"Why did you do it?'
Then did Isaac call him near and
look into his face. Also did Isaac
smack his lips, and point to the re-
mains of the repast, and say:
"I love my Esau, but o you kid"
Whereupon Noah who happened to
be strolling by carefully tucked the
Jest into oiled paper and did put it into
the Ark. whence, with much odor and
more odium, it was brought forth by
humorists some four thousand years
later.-Puck.

$500 in two Los Angeles banks, and
several mortgages, were found in

Owing to the fact that Foley is a

of his hurried departure for Seattle,
