Representative cronin has presented
a measure in the state legislature,
which. u adopted, would permit fish
ing I'm Lake Konomoc. the source OF
New Londons water supply. when
granted by three members OF the board
OF water and sewer commissioners.
Not since the Introduction Of the water
system thirty-five years ago, has fish,
ing been allowed il Lake Konomoc for
sanitary reason, and public sentiment
is against the Cronin bill. In any
event, the bill Is calculated to beneft
the favored few and in giving them
occasional sport, the health OF the en-
tire population will be jeopardized.
Then, too, the passage OF the bill
would give TO the commissioners the
privilege to fish in the lake and they
could give fishing parties at will and
the chances of communicating the wa
ter would certainly reach the danger
point.
There are some who would not
abuse the privilege. but they are COM
paratively few, and one citizen should
have no more public privileges than
any other citizen. It would simply
be another case Of classes and masses
and If the wishes Of New London peo-
pie, those most interested, have forci-
BILE effect, the bill is doomed. Even
the commissioners. those not in the
game of active politics, are opposed to
any change in the laws prohibiting
fishing or trespassing on Lake Kono-
moe.

SAYS WEALTH is GAINED BY
AND THROUGH MAN-MADE LAW

PASADENA, Jan. 7.-[Editor Her
add: Washington Wilson, writing
from Holtville, in this mornings Let
ter Box, displays a peculiar line of
reasoning in economics when he de-
clares that lit is not the business Of
law either to produce or distribute
wealth" Law is concerned solely
with the single moral problem Of Sc
curing just relations between individ-
uals," says Mr.. Wilson, and then he
proceeds with a line Of argument which
would indicate he believes this bene-
hcent purpose is being accomplished
by existing laws throughout the civil
lied world.
Does Mr.. Wilson contend for a single
moment, in the face of known facts,
that Mr.. Rockefeller's annual income,
variously estimated at from forty to
sixty million dollars, is not gained by
and through man made law and at an
enormous sacrifice of the common
good? This question must not be taken
in the nature of a criticism Of Mr.
Rockefeller, because he is alike the
victim and the beneficiary Of the eco
nomic system under which we live, and
his service to mankind in the organiza-
ton Of the industrial world is not I'M
appreciated by those of us who recog-
nize the evils Of our industrial system.
Again, does Mr.. Wilson contend that,
While the average wage of the Amer
lean workingman is less than $500-his
average annual product has a selling
value in excess of $250O-is not the re-
suit of man made law?
And finally the effort to excuse or
evade human responsibility for the ex-
IRENE poverty of the age, with it's re-
sultant ignorance, vice, crime, degrade
ton, sin and shame-by declaring that
1.-THE poor We have always with YOU is
SO puerile as to be unworthy Of atten-
ton.
The Socialists propose to rob the
statement, the poor We have always
with you," of it's entire significance
when applied to the material welfare
of mankind and they propose, for the
first time in the worlds history to an
swer in the affirmative, the age old
query, Am I my brothers keeper 2"

FREE SCHOOL BOOKS

STRONG FIGHT for free text
IA books will be made at the legis-
n lature. In many states of the
pay for the books used at school. The
position is taken that when books must
be paid for education is not free, and
the fact that sometimes in California
children have been kept out of school
because their parents could not afford
system may interfere with freedom of
education.
Under system which compels
parents TO buy the books used in the
class room there is a constant tempta-
tion to introduce new books. 1t is
common subject of complaint among
parents in California that changes Of
textbooks sometimes seem to be capri
cious or to be ordered merely for the
purpose of producing a special sale for
a certain book which is prescribed, ard
thereby increasing the income derived
from school books. We do not think
it is possible to refute the charge that
and supplies must be purchased, edu-
cation is not free"
There is not much discernible diff
ference between fee system with free
books and free system of education
with books for which big prices must
be paid. In the interest of popular
education nothing should be tolerated
which has a tendency to keep children
from coming to school or prevent
parents from sending them there. At
the same time no system of book sup
ply should be maintained in connection
with the schools which would lend
countenance to any stories of graft"
or give rise to scandals which might
be detrimental to the cause of educa-
ton.

WHAT DOES CORRESPONDENT
ACTUALLY KNOW OF MATTER?

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 1O.-[Editor
Herald: The gentleman from Saticoy
is a trifle hazy in his remarks on
mind, and asserts some things that look
queer. 1--WE have SEEM" he says, what
matter is, and of Itself it has no life,
no power Of action
I want to ask the writer what he
really knows about matter. What is
matter, in a complete and final analy-
sis? Is it a compound of atomic par
ticles, or what is it composed Of? How
does he know matter has no life, no
power Of action? Let him reveal his
source of knowledge and startle the
world with his wisdom.
When and where did he ever see the
manifestation of force apart from mat
ter, and how does he know that force
is not in matter instead of being out
side of it?
What is force and what is it COM
posed Of? Let US know all about it.
When such writers are encountered l
am reminded of what a profound
thinker once said: There are untold
thousands of people vainly endeavor-
ing to live outside of nature. But they
never succeed, and they cannot get
away from matter though they have
much to say about the immaterial and
force that emanates from nothing"
If there is no force in matter, what
caused the recent earthquake? How
does force get into gunpowder, dy-
Mantle, melinite and other material
compounds that seem to have it? oh,
We wiseacres, who locate force in Moth
ing and make mental action dependent
on ''immateriaI' things-only another
name for nothing, do tell us why mat
ter is dead, though life is never seen
except in matter, and all science can
do is to study its manifestations ASA

SAYS ANCIENT LIE is NOW
GROWN HOARY WITH AGE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9.-[Editor
Herald: A correspondent to your Let
ter Box who has been misinformed as
to the discovery of Christian Science
thinks that Mrs. Eddy gained her
knowledge of this subject from one T.
p. Quimby.
This time honored lie is now becom-
ing hoary with age. Time and time
again this falsehood has been refuted
with incontrovertible facts; and in 1883
this matter was settled by the circuit
court of the United States in the dis
tr1ct Of Massachusetts, who issued a
perpetual injunction against one Ed
ward j. Arens, who infringed Mrs.
Eddy's copyrights and who set up as
part Of his defense that the copyright
works of Mrs. Eddy were not original
with her, but had been copied from
manuscript originally composed by DR..
Quimby. When the time came for TAX
ing testimony, Arens gave notice that
he would not put in any testimony;
and when his attorney was asked the
reason, he replied in substance, There
is no evidence to present"
In addition to this Mrs. Eddy agreed
to stand the cost of printing and pub
fishing DR.. Quimby's manuscripts in
order to expose the falsehOodS OF par
ties intimating that she had appropri-
dIeQ nldII0T belonging 70 Ilu1IllDy. L LIS
whole question of originality was in
volved in and disposed of by the legal
decision referred to, and the fact that
Mrs. Eddy is the discoverer and foun-
der of Christian Science is now formu-
lated as history and acknowledged by
encyclopedias, dictionaries and biogra-
phical works.
DR.. Quimby was an avowed mes
merist, and Christian Science and mes
merism are like polar opposites, and
could not possibly proceed from the
same source.
While advanced thinkers in all ages
have held fragmentary ideas akin to
those of Mrs. Eddy, and employed
similar modes of expression, the dis
covery of Christian Science belongs to
her exclusively, and the Christian Sci
ence healing made possible by her dis
covery has not been practiced since the
days of Jesus Christ. It was she who
discovered the principle underlying the
practice of Jesus and his disciples, and
from this principle evolved a scientific
system of healing and redemption sus-
ceptible Of proof

MUNICIPAL REFORM

DY two of the charter amendments
IN on which the people of Los An
geles will be asked to vote on
February 2 provision will be made for
the election of councilmen at large and
for direct nomination of candidates
for municipal office, the object, of
course, being to bring officeholders in
closer relation with the people, in
crease their sense of responsibility and,
as far as possible. eliminate partisan
politics.
The non-partisan system in city af-
fairs has been found to give cities
which have adopted it better service
and to decrease dangers of the forma-
ton of cliques, rings, Big Fours, Solid
Threes and what not. 1t is proposed
to obtain a direct non-partisan selec-
ton of candidates by means Of petit
lions and an election to select from the
names proposed by petition two men
for each office to be filled. This will
result in a final competitive election
which will be free from the influences
of machine politics and political ma
san politics has tendency to produce
deterioration in the quality of munich
pal public service. Nearly all the ills
from which city governments have suf-
fered in modern times have been polit-
ical ills. "The best man for the place"
should be the motto in municipal gov
eminent. No other rule should be fol-
lowed in choosing the men who con-
duct the business affairs of the city.
1t has often been said, but may be
repeated in order to illustrate the i'm
portance of charter amendments re-
lating to municipal elections. that the
president of bank or Of a great bust
ness concern not infrequently uses far
more care in the choice of the hum
blest employee who is to work in his
office than he exercises in choosing
public servants to fill most responsible
positions.
Slowly American municipal reform is
overcoming conditions resulting from
chaos of riotous political corruption
and decentralization, and even in cities
where there have been no fragrant ro-
queries care should be taken to get in
line with the municipal reform move
ment With this movement some of
the charter amendments are directly
concerned.

BUSINESS MAN AND TAXPAYER

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9.-[Editor
Herald: You should be commended in
your spirit to bring about a change in
the way things are being forced
through our city government by the
man who was elected to represent the
people of this city.
1t certainly is time that a recall were
b ing circulated to GUST from office
our mayor, as he has shown himself
in sympathy with the worst element
in opposition to the best sentiment.
Start the recall.
There are four persons in this one
business office who would gladly sign,
and you will find that there are enough
like-minded people to accomplish the
unseating of the man who has be-
trayed the public confidence.
This work had better be done soon
before the Owens river millions are
shared up among a few politicians.
Keep at it. We don't need to go to
San Francisco or to Pittsburg to find
them In fact we won't need an arc
lamp to find them right here at home.
Let's make an example of the mayor
first, then some of the police commits
sioners.
