ARGUES NAzARENE WAS
OPPOSED TO LIQUOR

WHITTIER, June 15-TEditor Her
adj: One cannot do more than state
a question In 300 words; however, for
any opportunity to defend the truth
let US be devoutly thankful, and be
sure we make such use of it as will
enhance our joy when we stand at a
higher tribunal. Should not the un-
blemished character of Jesus and his
benevolent mission %to save the people
from their sins raise a strong pre-
sumption against the charge of being
either a tippler, or q manufacturer of
an instrument for the destruction of
the race he died to save? Would he
lend his influence or exercise his mi
raculous power to establish or per-
petuate a thing which is admittedly
the direct and indirect cause of nine
tenths of all the crime that has ever
destroyed those whom he came to
save? Gladstone said strong drink has
destroyed more men than war, famine
and pestilence combined. Paul says
mo drunkard shall inherit the king
dom of God" So the destruction is
double and eternal.
Jesus saw every drunkard that ever
reeled into a drunkard's S. grave. 1t is
a well established presumption of law
that every person intends the or
dinary consequences of his voluntary
act" Did he intend to furnish the
liquor duNOSdl6 all SAdiiluplS anu dA
gument to destroy the race he died to
save? His character and life of be-
nevolence, and his death of self-sacri-
flee, should raise, If not a conclusive,
at least a very strong presumption
against such a disastrous accusation.
1t was his enemies then that called
him a wine bibber Is it not his enc
mics now who bring the charge
Then in defense of a hypocritical sys-
TEN, now in favor of a diabolical traf-
flc. No man distinguished for Cod
liness has ever made such an allega-
ton. Both sacred and profane history
unite In testifying that at that" time
wines, both Intoxicating and unintox-
icating, were in common use. See
Smiths Bible dictionary. Bibliotheca
Sacra May, 1S4S, Pliny, book IA, Vir-
gill and many other ancient authors
speak of wines Notwithstanding. In
the Bible when the unintoxicating is
mentioned 1t is always spoken of in
terms of praise as corn and wine"
the intoxicating as ''mocker,"
serpent" and ladder" Now all that
we ask in order to acquit him whom
even infidelity admits to have been
the highest, purest, most benevolent
personage that ever walked the earth
is to accord him the same benefit of
the doubt which the facts raise, and
which will be freely given the debased
creature that slew the innocent school
girl in your city a few days since.
Will those unversed in history, sacred
or profane, stop their senseless charges
long enough to look carefully into the
proof before they repeat it?

WOMAN ANSWERS FAIR
CHAMPION OF SMOKERS

LOS ANGELES, June 15.-[Editor,
Herald: The fair correspondent in The
Herald, June 10, writes like a clumsy
man who, finding himself in an inde-
fensible position, attempts to draw in
another direction.
The poor working man, cited as a fit
subject for our consideration, is by no
means the chief offender in the use Of
tobacco, though he puffs his pipe stol-
idly enough-let the horrid fumes of
his favorite brand strangle whom they
may.
The workingman-we construe the
champion of mems rights to mean the
day laborer-does not offend the nos
trils of a large number of feminine pat
rons of cars, because his hours do not
generally coincide with the hours of
those who seek the emporiums of van
ity. nor with those of women of more
sedate pursuits; neither does he elbow
with the vast army of working girls
and others whose various duties neces-
state riding in public conveyances.
Quite as obnoxious as the pipe or
cheap cigar of the common laborer, and
more inexcusable in Its use is the uni
versal cigarette of the young man.
Chivalrous youth should not exercise a
plenary indulgence at the expense of
others whom man is bound by the laws
of ordinary politeness to respect and
honor.
Most difficult to reach either by
prayer or reason is the prosperous bus
mess man, SNUG and self-assured, who
enjoys his fine Havana with total dis
regard that it's smoke is blowing full in
the faces of his neighbors.
To avoid offensive smoke the alterna-
tive suggested Is that we ride inside.
Why are we living in California? The
nalpable and reasonable excuse is to en-
ioy fresh air and sunshine. Who then
wants to be shut inside a stuffy car?
And by what right do men preclude the
possibility of a pleasant ride out of
doors by polluting the air with nauseat-
ing odors of vile weeds.
The writer recalls trip to La Jolla
from San Diego, where party. unable
to procure seats In the main car, went
forward to the smoker, where were am
nile accommodations for their needs.
Three or four men were making the air
blue with smoke, which they continued
to do after the entrance of women.
Unquestionably we were fntruders, but
ride through Ramonas country
hanging to a strap in the boxed in
e-model-on- wheels which the
traction company has adopted is not to
be thought of with seats to spare IN
front. However, we were smoked out
TO standing room in the rear in a very
few moments.
Most cities have restrictions in regard
to smoking on cars. while some have
been advanced enough to abolish It en-
tirely. Los Angeles should not be a
laggard, but act promptly for the great
est good Of the greatest number.

antee other employment to the people
whom we would force upon a glutted
labor market. The people who use to-
baceo are not forced to do so, but it is
that while we have more men
than there are jobs for, the exact num-
ber of people engaged in the tobacco
business would be forced into the ranks
of the unemployed, If we suppress that
industry.
1 get a great deal of pleasure and in
formation from The Herald editorial
page, and consider it well worth the
price of the whole paper.
AS a general thing, man who has
had experience enough to make him a
sound thinker lacks the language to
clearly express his thoughts, but The
Herald editor seems to be the possessor
of both thoughts and language. / am
not surprised that The Herald stands
for regulation in preference to prohibi-
tion. No one who understood the situ-
alton could do otherwise. Some jour
nalistic prostitutes indorse prohibition
because they haven't the moral courage
to voice their honest opinions, in the

OBJECTS TO INSCRIPTION
OVER SAN QUENTIN DOOR

uOrJYWOOD. June 16.-[Editor
Herald; 1t seems strange that an IN
scription savorng so of barbarlsm anu
vindictiveness should exist in ana py
the consent Of this state, particularly
when its location is taken into consla,
eration-for quite the opposite should
obtain. 1t is an inscription deserving
Of condemnation, and the continued ex-
istence of which should be censured py
every thoughtful individual throughout
What is the object, what is the sig
nificance, stripped of all of its hldeous-
ness. of the cold, cruel, heart-plerclhg
sentence over the gateway that per
n1its of admission to the San Juentln
nenitentiary. IAN who enter here leave
hone behind" or, in other words, all
who enter here abandon hope of SYM
pathy, hope of guidance, hope of re-
demption?
THE brutal force of the words is any,
thing but uplifting. 1t seems that ITS
only tendency would be TO lnsuI III
the minds of all who do enter Tor pur-
poses of expiation an everlasting hate
both for the law and It's representa-
tives.
Based on such a fallacious hypothe-
sis, is it not probable that the spirit
of an inscription of such crushing sug-
gestiveness is bound to be demorallz-
ing upon L06 lIlIltdtSH cbitQ ~ bS AN1N4AN
ed bv all whose i'll fortune 1t is TO hnd
abode in its ShadoWs2 Even in the
brute creation there resides a sense OF
fairness.
Is it not the prime object of state
to reform, If possible, its proscrloea
subjects, to place within their reach
the advantages of good citizenship 10
bring them to the fullest realization OF
the sacredness which underlies oooy-
polite?
If so, why do we allow this blot to
continue disgracing the fair name OF
this otherwise beautiful state? A fine
tribute it is to those who administer
the affairs Of that institution! glow
ing one to the chief executive of this
commonwealth
To accord such treatment to those
who have fallen-perhaps over the
rugged road of adversely; perhaps be-
cause of lack of human sympathy
is contrary to present-day ethics, Is
wholly inconsistent with the precepts
of Christianity and far from Voicing
the sentiment of true Amer1canisn,
Never in vain were the fruits of
hope given to an erring brother. 1t is
the one thing he clings to, the one
thing that battles and defies the in
cubuslke spirit of discouragement; 1t
is his alpha and omega. Deny him that
and the inevitable will be poor,
wretched, quivering mass of animalism
lost to the dictates of reason and ready
to merge into oblivion so far as So
ciety is concerned.
Surely the gallows, "the strappado"
and other demoraIizing agencies now in
vogue ought to satisfy the lustful craV-
ings oe those who preside with naughty
mien over their unfortunate fellows
without going a step further in that
direction by surcharging the very at
mosphere with discord and reverbera-
tions of fiendish exultation. Truly this
