METAPHORICAL DEVIL ONLY
SPOKEN OF IN SCRIPTURES

POMONA. March 26.-[Editor Her
add: In your issue of today Another
f. N. gives us quite a dissertation on
the devil. He says, in effect that those
who do not believe in a devil are the
Bibles worst enemies
While it is true that no one who be-
lieves in the Bible can dispute the ex-
istence of a devil, there might be
difference of view as to who or what
he or 1t is. While one answers he is
"a wicked, malignant spirit, enemy of
God and man." according to Cruden:
another says, 1.-The devil is a scriptural
personification of sin in the flesh, in its
several phases of manifestation-sub-
jective, Individual, aggregate, social
and political, In history, current expert
ence and prophecy; after the style of
metaphor which speaks of wisdom as
woman, riches as mammon and the
god of this world sin as master" etc.
From "a Declaration of the Truth Re-
vealed in the Bible" I believe the
latter definition to be the correct one.
Your correspondent referred to John
S:44. That Jesus spoke there in the
language of figure Is evident, for he
said the Pharisees were of their father,
the devil. OF. course he could not mean
they were literally begotten by a super
natural agent of evil. If such existed.
He further said the devil "was q MUIR
derer from the beginning" Elsewhere
it is said Zeal. 519-22), the works of
the flesh are manifest, which are these,
adultery, fornication, uncleanness. las
civiousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hat

Orthodox Christianity usually teaches
the twin horrors of eternal torment and
a supernatural, fire-proof, fallen-angel
devil, for neither of which is the Bible
responsible. 1t does say Ger. 17:9),
"The heart is deceitful above all
things" and of course it beats the devil

MARITIME Los ANGELES

I'm THE visit to this city OF John
Fox. special director OF the Ma
Il tional Rivers and Harbors con-
eress. there is an indication Of the Inn
portance attached by the nation to the
development of Los Angeles and its
seaport. San Pedro. The entire sub
ject of Greater Los Angeles is of con-
tinentai interest. 1t concerns all OF
North America, because, as The Her
aid has pointed out repeatedly, the
completion of the Panama canal will
assuredly bring upon San Pedro the
full force of many commercial mari
time demands, and these demands San
Pedro must be ready to satisfy.
Mr.. Fox advises Los Angeles to join
with the gulf cities that will be az
fected by the opening of the CANAL in
demanding from the next congress
500, 900, 900 for river and harbor i'm
provement. He points out that the gulf
cities need improvements no more ur-
gently than Los Angeles needs them,
as this city is the natural outlet for
THE ENTIRE SOUTHWEST AND A
GREAT PORTION OF THE ROCKY
MOUNTAIN STATES.
He says the harbor Of Los Angeles
must be prepared to accommodate the
largest vessels that can pass through
the Panama canal.
This The Herald has preached, and
preached and we hope not to any deaf
ears. We would like to see all our
citizens take a keen, active, personal
interest in the harbor. No local AFFAIR
or interest, or movement, or project
is of any greater Importance than Is
this great harbor question, which is not
only of local but national and interna-
tional Importance. This we believe is
thoroughly appreciated by our highly
esteemed citizens who have come to
Los Angeles from New York and other
seaport cities, and who have distinct,
practical idea of the subject. But our
equally highly esteemed citizens from
inland cities and settlements must ac-
maritime aspect of this municipal
center. AS Mr.. Fox says, there is no
doubt Los Angeles is to become a great
seaport, and ''great seaport means
harbor depth, anchorage, roadway,
shelter, docks, piers and warehouses!
warehouses! warehouses! and rail-
roads! railroads! railroads and good
roads for auto vehicle traffic. After
consolidation the real national mission
of Los Angeles will be undertaken, its
real responsibility to civilization will
be assumed, its real work in the world
will be begun.

BASEBALL

IN OW is the world again spinning
smoothly on it's axis. Now we
may be happy Now affairs of
state will be relegated to their proper
position. Now will politics have to
take a back seat. The baseball season
is opened
Seven months of continuous baseball.
Think of it! Fortunate indeed is Cali
fornia in being able to enjoy this feast
of good, clean, healthy, hearty sport.
We welcome the teams. We welcome
the rooters, We wish all the teams
might be winners. They all deserve to
be. But since some must win and
some must lose we hope the boys who
don't win will show the world they can
be good losers. Baseball enthusiasm is
a good sign. There is always hope for
a country which can go daft over the
merits of match or the outcome of
series. The value of baseball to our
overworked, hard-driven, nervous,
strenuous republic cannot be over
estimated. 1t must be very, very
great. From every point of view,
therefore, including the hygienic, the
baseball season is gladstone and glor-
iouS.

Rhode Island stood pat, and the con-
federation could take no action with
out the unanimous consent OF the
states that were parties to It,
Two years went by without any fur
ther action. Then the same request was
made in modified form. Rhode Island
was then intensely jealous of her
rights as a state-from the fear that
she would lose something because or
her smallness--so the proposition was
made that out of Difference to the
states-rights views, the states them
selves could nominate the officers to
collect the revenue. This time New
York proved to be the stumbling block.
During the existence OF the confed-
GRAFTON each state had its own tariff
laws, and they were. as often leveled
against other states as against for
eign countries. New Jersey alone held
out for open and unrestricted free
trade with all the world. New York
had already become the metropolis or
the nation, and a large proportion of
the foreign goods were landed there.
These conditions made the embryo
nation the laughing stock of the whole
world. When John Adams and other
diplomats wanted to make treaties
scarcely concealed amusement. They
were told that nation that had not
the power TO levy per cent duty Tor
the purpose of paying its debts could
hardly represent itself as being able
to carry out treaty stipulations with
respect to trade. England haughtily
boasted that while she had lost politi-
cal control of the colonies, she was
more fully in command of their trade
status than ever before.
Then the colonies began to make
threats of retaliation. If the world
did not meet them in proper spirit
they would retaliate in kind. But the
foreign nations thought they were as
impotent IN their threats of retalia-
ton as they had been in their efforts
to pay the interest on the national
debt. Some foreign statesmen said OF
them that they were possessed of the
means of contracting debts. but not OF
settling them; of raising fleets and
armies, but not of paying for them;
of making treaties, but not of enforce
ing compliance with them. In other
words, they were law without PEN
atty.
In this situation it became inlpor-
tant to look for means of forming a
more perfect union" This resulted IN
the calling of the constitutional con-
vention. At the end of the revolution
ary war sentiment was practically
unanimous for free and unrestricted
trade with all the world so far as the
national leaders We're concerned. or
all the leading statesmen, Hamilton
alone stood in favor of protection. But
it was not long before many others
found that Hamilton was in the right.

movement by calling our best women
"desexed individuals" and "hen-poli-
