BELIEVES AUTOMOBILES SHOULD
CARRY ILLUMINATED NUMBERS

LOS ANGELES, July 1s.-[Editor
Herald: In view Of the recent deplor-
able deaths and accidents resulting
from the carelessness and callowness or
the speed maniacs, who apparently re-
gard the ownership of an automobile as
SUFFICIENT warrant to obliterate all hu-
name feelings in regard to the maim-
ing or killing of their fellow mortals, |
would suggest that all automobiles and
motorcycles should be forced to carry
their registered number illuminated
from within and sufficiently large SO
as to be legible at a distance, say OF
100 yards or more. If such illuminated
numbers should be carried at the sides
II would be better still. This is merely
a suggestion, but has been proved ef-
fectuai in many parts of continental
Europe and in London.

INSISTS BIBLE SHOWS
THAT SIN is REALITY

LOS ANGELES, July 20.-[Editor
Herald: The point raised by R. n. in
his first letter was that sin instead Of
being a reality existed only in the
"carnal consciousness of every man"
or was a "nonentity." If the scrip
lures | submitted do not prove that
sin is a reality" then it is impossible
to frame language to prove any propo-
sition. Will r. N. say that Christ did
not Idle for our sins, according to the
scriptures? That Christ did not bear
our sins in his own body on the tree" =?
Paul says he got his gospel "by the
revelation of Jesus Christ" He says
he delivered 10 the Corinthians "how
that Christ died for our sins according
to the scriptures. That he was buried
and rose again the third day, according
to the scriptures" He says they "re-

RETORT COURTEOUS

NRANCIS J. HENEY has replied
courteously and conclusively to
Il the yellow attack made on him by
the appropriately named Tawney,
whose loose-mouthed statements gave
some saffron specimens Of journalism
an opportunity to accuse Mr.. Heney of
having drawn a salary from the gov
ernment while he was not engaged in
governmental work, but was conduct
ing the graft prosecutions. The yellow
towards who tried to make the public
believe Mr.. Heney had taken a salary
he had not earned waited until the
object Of their attaCk-Whom they fear
as much as hate-was out of the way
at Abercrombie canyon, fifty-five miles
up the Copper river. But even in far
Alaska Mr.. Heney has been reached by
telegraph and telephone, and the an
swer he has sent back to the yellow
tribe of Tawney is: Il have not re-
ceived a dollar in fees except for serv-
ices rendered prior to the commence
ment Of the San Francisco cases. The
delay in payments to me by the United
States government was due to lack of
funds, necessitating a special appro-
priation by congress. A fully itemized
statement of all my accounts is in the
hands of the United States attorney
general"
1t may be added Mr. Heney's fees
were not exorbitant; on the contrary,
were moderate when compared with
those charged by many lawyers for
corporation work Of less Importance
than the services rendered by Mr. He
ney. And surely Mr.. Heney is not to
blame for the fact the United States
government is "slow pay" and drags
out for an inordinate length of time the
settlement of its accounts.

lance Of which is not second to any In
the economic history Of the United
