4 T a meeting of the Central Labor
IA council Friday night in the Labor
"A temple, the following resolution
was presented and Endorsed as the sem
timent of that body:
Whereas, The following petition Is
being circulated by the National
Womans Suffrage association, to be
presented to congress in the near fu-
ture namely
1--WE, the undersigned citizens of
the United States, over Il years of
age, hereby petition your honorable
body to submit to the legislatures of
the several states for ratification an
amendment to the national constitu-
ton which shall enable women to vote;
therefore be it
"Resolved, That the Central Labor
council of Los Angeles urges the wage
earners to cooperate in this move
ment, which, aside from one of COM
mon justice and equity, appeals to the
members of organized labor as one
which will tend to eradicate the unjust
laws pertaining to the employment of
women and children"
What Is alleged to be an infringe
ment on the label of the United Hat
tiers of North America has been dis
covered in this city. A label the size
of a postage stamp was exhibited at
the meeting of the Central Labor coun-
ell on which were the words, Felt
Hatters and Trimmers' union" No
such organization is known by the Of
ficers of the American Federation of
Labor. The hatters have been on strike
for some time for the use of the label,
and the delegates to the central body
were instructed to notify the different
organizations to avoid purchasing hats
without the label of the United Hat
tiers of North America sewed under
the band.
Last night the losing side in the re-
cent contest for members in the Wom-

for Labor temple stock, the finishing
of the new halls on the third floor in
creasing the anxiety of those unions
still meeting in the basement to get
into new quarters, and also a desire
to see the building completed. The
elevators will soon be installed, and
this will add to the desirability of the
temple as a meeting place.

is no reason why the public should be

WHO KNOWS POWER
OF TRUTH STANDS
AT HEAVENS GATE
MRS. EDDY EXPLAINS REIGN
OF SPIRITUAL
Man Learns PowerIessness of Evil
When He Finds How to Keep
Himself Unspotted from
the World

Probably every man remembers quite
distinctly the moment when, like Jacob
at Bethel, he stood for the first time
in the gate of heaven. He may have
seen it often in the distance as he jour-
neyed todard 1t, he may even have
sometimes imagined that he had en-
tered by it, only to see it vanish like a
mirage from before his eyes.
When, however. he finally reaches it,
he knows beyond a doubt the ground
on which he stands is holy ground, and
that beyond that gate there is Just
what Mrs. Eddy has defined as heaven,
Harmony; the reign of Spirit; govern
ment by divine Principle
No one, it is to be imagined, believes
for an instant that the writer Of the
story meant to imply the gateway TO
the ascent to heaven lay at Bethel.
lie was simply impressing on his read
ers, by means of the story of the
patriarch, the spiritual lesson conveyed
by Jacobs flight from the tempta-
lions of materiality and the animal
passions reused by them.
To the Hebrew reader the daughters
of Heth and the anger of Esau eX-
pressed this with perfect clearness; the
exact historical basis Of the incident
was a matter he troubled himself very
little at all about. Fleeing from these
conditions, Jacob left behind him his
OWL country and his own people, much
at any rate of his own clinging to
material things, and came into land
strange indeed by reason of his own
change of thought.
Effect of Spiritual Love
He was learning how true it is that
I'VE needs must love the highest when
we see it, and how as Mrs. Eddy
points out Spiritual Love will force
you to accept what best promotes your
growth" In that journey over the
rock-strewn desert from Beersheba to
Haran Jacob learned how completely
1.-THE kingdom of God is within YOU"
and not where earthly conditions seem
to have made your home.
Heaven and he'll are completely
mental conditions which, in the words
of the Psalmist, can be carried with
you even to 1.-The uttermost parts of
the sea-" But Love, though often hid
den from the senses, is always omni-
present and so Jacob lay down to
sleep in the desert and woke in the
gate of heaven.
It is quite likely, as the commentat-
ors insist, that the brow of the oppo-
site hill fiinging its serrated edge
against the sky, like great staircase
rising into the clouds, was the last
thing his eyes rested on that night,
and gave form to his dream. 1t is in
the highest degree improbable that the
chronicler was in the least concerned
by anything but a desire to convey by
some bold image the ability of man to
lift his thoughts heavenward. my

allied thoughts, appearing at the door
Of some sepulchre, in which human be-
lief has buried its fondest earthly
hopes.'' Jacob had left some at any
rate of his desire for material things

at Beersheba, and so it was he was
fitted to hear Truth speak to him at
Bethel.
Most people in this world see their
duty more clearly than they always
like. 1t is not every one whose char
acter can be summed up in the words
carved on the monument Of Henry
Lawrence, He tried to do his duty"
1t is not wonderful, therefore, that
Jacobs first thought when he awaked
was one of fear, expressed in the
words, How dreadful is this place"
Heavens favors," writes Mrs. Eddy,
ARE formidable" and the more a man
grasps of what the demands Of Truth
are the more likely he is to understand
just what those words mean. The ordi-
nary critic of Christian Science, who
talks just as if it's healing was a simple
means of getting the body well, instead
of having found a just cause of COM
plant, is merely showing his complete
miscOnception of the whole subject.
Healing in Christian Science aims at
the reformation of the whole human
character.
AS the health of the body is the ex-
preston of thought, the purifying of
the mind naturally produces better
physical as we'll as moral conditions.
But physical health is valuable to the
the indication of improved moral con-
ditions. To restore physical ease to a
man without awakening in him at least
a desire for a truer understanding of
God is not to be dignified with the name
of healing.
Truth Frees Man from Ills
Only indeed, as a man learns to keep
himself unspotted from the world, to
protect his mind, in other words, from
the suggestions Of evil constantly fill
tering through to it, can he hope to
begin to attain that consciousness of
the powerlessness of evil which brings
with it freedom from illness and sin.
illness and sin are not God-sent. No
Christian Scientist imagines for mo-
ment that anything inharmonious or
evil could proceed from infinite intelli-
gence. Illness need not, however, be
the result of a conscious sin to be the
result of a mental habit of attributing
power to evil. Jesus said of the blind
man, Neither hath this man sinned,
nor his parents; but that the works of
God should be made manifest in him. -
The truth, of course, is that inharTnony
is itself only the result of belief In the
power of evil, and that as this belief is
dispelled the spiritual blindness van
ishes and there dawns on the human
mind the realization of the fact that
good alone is power, and God is good
Then man wakes like Jacob out of the
dream of the senses into the conscious
ness of spiritual life and harmony in
the certainty that he stands in the
gateway of Decentralization Science

pital April /, 1906 and despite the OPP
position of the combined mill owners,
Eureka's trade unionists have just cele-
brated the third anniversary of that
hospital, which is a splendid institu
ton and a credit to Humboldt county,
says the San Francisco Clarion. In the
fight of the mill owners against the
project legal steps were taken. An in
junction was granted restraining the
mill owners from taking out hospital
fees from employees who held tickets in
the Union Labor hospital. Any mill
owner included in this injunction who
compels his employees to pay hospital
fees when such employees hold Union
Labor hospital tickets is liable to fine
and Imprisonment by the court whose
order is thus violated. The building is
the largest hospital building in Eureka.
In equipment it is not surpassed by any
local hospital. Its location is ideal.

the half block on which 1t stands is
fixed up it will make the exterior har-
fnonize with the already neatly finished
interior. Every room is well supplied

 The case of the United States vs. the American Tobacco company, known as the tobacco trust case, will be argued at the opening of the term. It is set down for October 12, but there are a number of cases ahead of it. it will probably not be reached until October 2O This Is the most important anti trust litigation which will be submitted to the court the coming term.
 It not only involves the question Of whether the American Tobacco company and related concerns are combinations in restraint of trade under the Sherman law and whether they should be shut out of interstate commerce. but whether the great combination built around the Amer ican Tobacco company shall be broken, and whether the broad Interpretation put on the Sherman act by the court below shall be sustained

ALLEGED ASSAULT
 IS FABRICATION

Cincinnati, September 2S,-"The story told by Agnes Stiner regarding an alleged assault during which she was alleged to have been bound and gagged abounds with contradictions The police depart ment has evidence that the binding and holding the girl prisoner was at her own instigation."
 This was the declaration tonight by Chief of Police Milliken regarding the mystery surrounding the case of Miss Agnes Stiner, 30 years old, who was found in a secluded place in Avondale, a fashionable section, today, bound and gagged, and who told remarkable story of attack upon her by an unknown per son or persons.
 A young man against whom Miss Stiner preferred a charge some time ago has given the police an account of his where abouts during the last few days and nights and the police say further charge will be preferred against him.
 Late tonight Miss Stiner, according to the police, confessed that her story con- corning the alleged assault was fabri- cation and that she had bound and gagged herself.
