SAYS LETTER is FULL
OF CONTRADICTIONS

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4.-tEditor
Herald: OF all the mass of contradic-
tions the letter of Mary Magdalene'
today takes the premium. Her letters,
she says, are in the interests of moral
ity-the morality of some of the women
in the world, and none of the men. for
she says men can't be moral, and some
of the women have to be abandoned to
accommodate them. What a beautiful
morality that is to work for! Some of
the women in the world must be scarlet
women, and our sons encouraged to
patronze them, in order to prevent
them from leading astray a neighbor's 5
wife or daughter. Also to prevent them
from being 'milksops." OF course, she
thinks it would be a sad thing for the
men if the women were all moral, for
then the men would have to receive the
treatment of the Kansas degenerates,
in that case, and yet she says women
should be moral. How confusing!

WOMAN'S ASHES WILL
Be STREWN ON LAKE
Husband Lost in Wreck of Excursion
Steamer and Wife's Last
Wish Is to Be Buried
There

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Remarkable fu-
neral rites will take place Saturday
morning when the ashes of Mrs. Rosa
Peyton will be scattered to the four
winds in midlake. Her husband, DR..
S. L. Peyton, 29 years ago was lost
with seventy-five other victims in the
wreck of the Alpina, an excursion
steamer, in Lake Michigan.
Hoping against hope during the years
since she last saw her husband alive
that by some chance he might return
to her, Mrs. Peyton at every opportu-
nifty crossed to Michigan on excursion
steamers. Often she carried flowers
with her and scattered them in mid
lake. the only known grave of her hus-
band.
To her friends she often expressed
the wish that her ashes, like the flow
ers, would be scattered over the wa
ters. Her last and only wish was that
her grave would be near his.

MAKES SENSIBLE SUGGESTION
TO SOLVE SCHOOL PROBLEM

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 4.-[Editor Her
add: We see and read so much in the
papers about Los Angeles not being
able to house the school children the
coming year.
In Southern California, where peo-
pie can and should live out of doors
nine-tenths of the time, why worry
about houses in which to keep the chill
dren?
Last year in Boston, as an expert
ment, over 800 children went to school
the entire year in Franklin park. A
large open tent was provided. with
good raised floor, where the children
could be seated during snow and rain.
The greater part of the time they were
in the open. With the blue sky above.
and the grass under their feet. OF the
SEQ, S5 per cent were inValids, or poorly
nourished children. At the end of the
term they were nearly all well and
strong, and able to take an entire day
work, while at the beginning they
were allowed to sleep or rest two hours
each day.
If such a school was a success in
Boston. where they had to wear over
shoes. furs and mittens during the
winter, why would ii not be more of a
success in Los Angeles?
If pure air and sunshine will cure
sick children and brighten the mind to
beIlef ueNelppIHtul anu SluuS' WY iDI
trv the same treatment for the well
children, to keep them bright and
healthy?
Tents erected in some of the many
vacant lots. and regularly equipped for
school work, would solve the problem
and give the children all the good fresh
air they can breathe, and save them
from half the contagious diseases to
which they are exposed by being con-
fined in close, poorly ventilated, insan-
itary school buildings. e. J. w.

BELIEVES WOMEN HAVE POWER
TO MAKE WORLD BETTER

DENVER. colo. July 30.-TEditor
Herald: All hail to The Herald, and
to the Letter Box brothers and sisters
whose many good letters the writer has
missed during the month she has failed
to get The Herald because Uncle sam s
overworked boys went to sleep on the
job and failed to deliver it to her Den
yer address.
il is arriving daily now, commencing
with the issue containing the editorial
How American Citizens Are Robbed" "
and the writer echoes little Patsv's
words to his teacher: Gee, I'm glad
l didn't miss that"
We need more papers like The Her
aid, and the American people need to
read them, and then spend n little time
in serious thought about what "gOv-
ernment of the people, for the people,
by the people" means. The editorials
of The Herald are always clean and
clear cut on the issues of the day, but
How Americans Are Robbed" is a
gem. Sisters of the Letter Box, If you
haven't read it. look it up and read it,
and you can form your own conclu-
sions regarding the astuteness Of your
law making brothers, and the justice
Of their claim Of ability to legislate for
both sexes, when they do not protect
their own.
In the Letter Box of the same date
some man advocating the divine right
Of man to sin, has put on the garments
Of Mary Magdalene, to see how they
would fit him, He tells the Letter Box
folks how Mary Magdalene fell, and
adds that "for the love of heaven, keep
woman as she is" If man is to con-
tinuo claiming his prerogatiVe of the
divine right to sin. it certainly is nee
essary that woman should be kept very
much as she is. Good women, too ig-
norant of evil to even understand it,
and the Mary MaRdalenes. without
hope and wholly at the mercy of sex
depravity on the part of all mankind.

DECLARES MARY MAGDALENE
is DEFICIENT IN LOGIC

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4.-[Editor
Heraldl Whether MARY Magdalene"
is male or female, he IS deficient In
logic. 1t seems he wants all women to
be pure Well, so do l. l would like
for every woman in the world to be
pure. His aim is to keep every woman
in the world pure, yet he thinks that if
men were moral they would be milk
sops. Now, If his wish were realized,
and every woman in the world kept
pure, the men would all be ''milksops," u"
for how could the men be immoral un-
less some of the women lost their pur-
itv? Consequently some of the daugh-
ters of the race must be led to the
altar of Vice and sacrificed, to prevent
the sons Of the race from being milk
sops." He wants every woman to be
pure, vet he says the men cannot and
will not be pure unless you take the
extreme measures adopted in Kansas
for the treatment of degenerates. If
every woman was pure, every man
would have to be, whether the extreme
rnasures mentioned by Mary Maeda-
lene" were adopted or not. The writer
is taking things as they are" and
stating facts. The writer has never
asked for women the privilege of being
immoral. Women could take that priv
iIege If they so desired. What we do
protest against is the theory that the
nature OF man demands that a part of
our women must live degraded lives, or
else the men will be "milksops." or
would have to be dealt with as the
degenerates of Kansas. Now. that is a
pretty reflection on the will and back
bone of man! Some of the men writ
ers in the Letter Box should take eX-
ceptions to such remarks.
Whether it does good to the cause of
morality or not the writer wants the
satisfaction of telling the fallen men
just what they are-the satisfaction of
stating a fact-and that fact is that
any man who helps along prostitution
by patronizing it, has the souls blood
of somebody's daughters on his head,
and the contradictory and illogical
statements Of any fallen man cannot
change that fact.

BELIEVES POSTMASTER SHOULD
LIVE INSIDE CITY LIMITS

Los ANGELES, Aug. 4.-[Editor
Herald: 1 notice in this morning s
Herald confirmation of what seemed
to me to be an astonishing fact-that
Los Angeles has a postmaster who does
not live in the city. If this is not con-
trary to law 1t ought to be; no matter
how efficient the postmaster may be,
there are surely enough men qualified
to take the place who live inside the
city limits. I should as soon see the
mayor nonresident as the post
master.
Even if this is technically allowable
by an omission of law, is it morally
right? l think not, unless you revert
to the old-fashioned idea, now happily
passing away in Los Angeles, that
whatever the organization does must
be right morals or no morals
Personally, 1 should like to have Mr..
Flint stand UP as public servant and
explain. A. G.

Superintendent of Public lnstruc-
ton j. D. Eggleston is prolific Of
advanced ideas of the practical sorts
His plan to keep Virginia boys on
Virginia farms. as part of the pub
lie school work of the State, is the
most promising proposition as So
luton of this problem we have seen
anywhere. Mr.. Eggleston's plan,
which he willcommunicate to twenty
division school superintendent, con-
templates the selection of two to six
boys from each of two to ten schools
in the county. These boys are to be
given the use of an acre of land by
parents. are to be aided by the gov
eminent demonstrators and are to
receive instruction from their teach
ers. 1t is suggested that after the
crop is gathered exhibits or fairs be
held in each county and prizes offer
ed for the best showing. Corn
growing alone is contemplated this
year.
Mr.. Eggleston bases his idea upon
the fact that no one can associate
with mother earth upon fair and
honest terms without forming a de-
voted attachment for her. Those
who in the past have deserted her
for the cities have in the main been
those who have attempted to rob
her. Many succeeded in doing so,
but they failed to enrich themselves.
Mr.. Eggleston's proposition contem-
plates an entire reversal of the old
plan and idea and to begin it where
it will do the greatest good. among
the Virginia boys, who will be the
Virginia farmers of the future.
