JUSTICE NEEDED IN
PLACE OF CHARITY
STANDARD OIL co. G0UGES
PUBLIC, SAYS PASTOR
People Receive But a Percentage of
Corporation Profits, Declares Rev.
r. E. Blight in Discussing
Rockefeller Foundation

"John d. Rockefeller is sometimes
depicted as a saint, sometimes as an
ogre, and sometimes as a cunning ras-
cal, and now he appears in the gulse
of Santa Claus" said ReynOld e..
Blight, minister of the Los Angeles
Fellowship, in a prelude yesterday
morning. "And a generous old st.
Nicholas he is, resolving his vast for
tune into foundation to advance civ
ilization, disseminate knowledge, pre-
vent suffering and promote human
progress. A carping critic might com
ment on the knavery of playing good
Kriss Kringle with pennies deftly eX-
tracted from the children's bank; and
it might be unkind to talk about con-
science funds in this connection But
we'll let that pass. Let us frankly ac-
knowledge that it is better to eXpend
this vast income for the laudable OBJ
jects so sententiously enumerated in
the charter than to waste it in extraVa-
gance and riot. or for the establishment
of a colossal financial despOtism. There
are, however. certain impersonal and
important considerations that must be
emphasized at this time.
Huge gifts to charity will not con-
done unScrupulous and vicious meth
ods Of money making. A thousand
hospitals and a hundred foreign mis-
sionS will not atone for the crushing
of single tradesman, for a single dol
lar unjustly squeezed from a helpless
community, or for the debauchery of a
single legislator. Black, damnably
black is the record. and the penitential
offerings Of eternity cannot whiten one
little spot.
"Is there not danger of an insidious
corrupting of the public conscience
through these large gifts? A commu-
nifty that accepts a largess from a
financial magnate will be quick to eX-
cuse his methods. Gifts of corn and
splendid festivals served to stihe the
popular clamor in the days of Roman
tyranny. And Is the popular intelli-
gence today so far superior to that Of
Rome? If so how do you account for
the fact that we tolerate an industrial
system that permits one man to accu-
mulate $500 900, 900 in forty years, while
thousands toll in sWeatshops, factories,
mines and cotton mills for mere sub
sistence; and uncounted thousands of
children go breakfastless to school
every day, and little babies die like
flies Of hunger and neglect?
What the world needs today is JUS
tice, not charity. Say nothing about
fra ternity and the dreams of poets,
plain, ordinary justice would make
sweatshops, death trap mines, child
labor, white slave traffic and similar
industrial wrongs impossible.
Don't forget that coincident with
this benevolent Rockefeller foundation
the Standard Oil goes on doing business
at the old stand. Standard Oil squeezes
the coppers out of the public, and the
Rockefeller foundation dispenses a
percentage in charity! 'Tis a mad
world, my masters. "

GOLD QUEEN MINE
RESUMES OPERATIONS

COURTLAND, March 20.-Work was
resumed last week with three shifts
at the workings of the Gold Queen
properties, where in order to effect a
saving OF about forty feet in the hoist
Ing operations, a new working shaft
was started about fifty yards from the
old shaft and in this new work the
same ore was encountered as in the
other shaft.
The new shaft will be sunk to a con-
nection with the drift run to the south
from the old incline shaft on the 100
foot level, using the old shaft as an
ore chute in stopping out ore from
shipment to the Commonwealth mill at
Pearce.
Encountering the ore in the new
shaft at a distance of 80 yards, and
of the same value as that found
the old shaft at an equal depth dem
onstrates it's continuance for that dis
tance at least. and increased the value
of the property by the evidence of that
much more ore to work on.
In all about 400 feet of ore has been
done on this property and they are
nearly in shape to begin stopping out
the ore which will be shipped to
Pearce.
While there is plenty of ore on the
dump, In fact, the entire dump carries
values, the first shipment will be made
up from the ore that will be taken
out at the 100-foot level.
Surfacing for the hoist was done
last week for the material brought
onto the ground for ore pits.

DENOUNCES PRIZE
FIGHTS AS BRUTAL
REV. C. E. LOCKE DECLARES
CONTESTS DEBASING
No Single Feature Justifies Contlnu-
ance of Practice the Legislature
Should Stop, Says Meth
odist Episcopal Leader

In the course of his sermon last
evening at the First Methodist Epis-
copal church Dr. Charles Edward
Locke earnestly protested against the
prize fight of last Thursday night. lie
said
"As read the account of the prize
fight in my paper on Friday morning
NV soul was filled with mingled lndlS-
nation and humiliation. What a fear
full spectacle! Two young human
beings fighting like a couple of wild
beasts from the jungle, and 1000 other
human beings with brutal instincts
encouraging the bestial contest with
their money and their presence.
Prize fights are debasing and bru-
talizing to our youth and to our citi-
zenship in general They do not pos
sess single feature to justify their
continuance. Fellow citizens, prize
fights ought to be stopped, and they
will be when you and l put our indlg-
nation and humiliation into protests
sufficiently earnest to find expression
in preventive legislation"

MAYS PEOPLE BUY
CONTROL OF JUNE

SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.-F. b.
Chaplin. president of the Mays OIL
company; w. A. McCaffery and r. *.
Russell, prominent capitalists of To-
ronto. Canada, have acquired control
of the June oil company, purchasing
the treasury stock through the Wilkes
Hayden Kragen company.
The June oil company owns lease
on the northeast quarter of the south
east quarter of section 30-31-23, corner
ing with the Mays, and is drilling on
the southwest quarter of the north
west quarter OF section 26-32-23, known
as the Mount Diablo section, where it
has a forty-acre royalty lease. By the
terms of the deal Chaplin and his as
sociates agree to drill a deep well on
the 30 lease and drill up the 26 lease.
The latter is considered high class
shallow territory. bringing in good
wells at about 1000 feet.
Advices from New York. where the
June is listed on the curb, are that the
announcement of the acquisition of the
control by the Mays management has
created a demand for the stock at so
cents.

DEVIL USES AUTO;
WISE, SAYS PASTOR
URGES EMPLOYMENT OF CARS
IN CHURCH WORK
The Rev. ]. Whtcomb Brougher Takes
Wealthy to Task for DeVoting
Themselves Wholly to
Pleasure

The Rev. j. Whitcomb Brougher.
pastor of tho Temple Baptist church.
told his congregation yesterday morn
ing that the devil made use of their
automobiles and that they spent too
much of their time in riding about the
city for pleasure instead of devoting
the use Of their cars to the church."
He said:
What have you, o Christian, to de-
vote to the service Of Jesus Christ? IT
may be a horse and buggy; it may be
an automobile. In the city of Chatta-
nooga. a we'll known livery stable
man said to his pastor: Here is my
subscription to the church, but in ad-
dition to that L give the use of a
horse and buggy to the service of
Christ and the church. This horse
and buggy will stand at your door any
time, day or night, to be used in doing
the pastoral work of this church, And
for four years there was hardly a day
that that horse and buggy were not in
use for that purpose.
"There are plenty of people in nearly
all the churches that have automo-
biles who could use them themselves
or devote them to the use of others,
for the purpose of visiting inquirers
the sick, and strangers and winning
them for Christ and the church.
"The devil is wiser than most Chris
tians. He makes use of the automo-
bile; and it is for Christian people to
devote the use of their machines to
the service of Christ and the doing of
good in the world. God bless those
who are generous and consecrated
enough to give such service"
