CORPORATION ACTION BOOST
FOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

Editor Herald: I would be glad to
know where to find a better argument
in favor of municipal ownership of
public utilities than in the action or
our public utilities corporations at the
present time. 1t is amazing that they
can be so short sighted as to come the
cry-baby act when things do not go
just as they want them to. Those OF
us who are fortunate (or unfortunately
enough to live In Hollywood are spend
ing from twenty to thirty minutes
day more on the cars of the Los Ange-
les-Pacific Railway company at pre-
sent, because that concern, sore over
the passage of a certain ordinance, has
decided to run it's cars at speed OF
twelve to fifteen miles an hour. Their
schedule has probably never equaled
twenty miles an hour, and the cars
certainly could not be run at that speed
under the present conditions of the
roadbed and keep on the track Never
theless, in order to vent their spite,
they lengthen the schedule from SO to
80 per cent and try to lay the blame on
the city council! If this silly action,
and other acts of other corporations, is
not enough to make man vote for
municipal ownership, l fail to see how
he could be Influenced by anything less
drastic than shotgun.

MODERN MINISTER'S FORGET
NAzARENE's GENTLE TEACHINGS

Editor Herald: In the popular pulpit
of today it must be too apparent TO
the most careless reader of the New
Testament that the meek and loWly
spirit which was so characteristic of
the Christ is not that dwelt upon, but
rather the strenuous life, the warrior,
the heroic, the so-called manly. Hence
we find the preachers who cannot raise
sufficient enthusiasm in portraying the
life of the meek and lowly Nazarene,
or the morally heroic Paul, resortinS
to the cheap expedient of preaching
Roosevelt or even King Edward, re-
ceiving as their remuneration cheap
applause from worldly men and poll
ticians. The spirit, teachings and life
of Christ were non-resistance. If
man smite thee on the one cheek, turn
the other also. If he take thy coat,
let him take thy cloak also. If he
compel thee to go a mile with him, go
twain. The gentler, even the woman
ly graces. If you wish, were those
which Christ exemplified and sought
to teach. His courage was shown in
speaking against the evils of his day
and dying for his temerity. Now, to
hold up, as is constantly done, men
of brute force, who resent the least
injury, whose cry is greater army and
navy, to draw illustrations for SER
mons from the bloodiest battles Of the
ages, and to hold these constantly be-
fore the minds of the youth of the land
may elicit applause and develop physi-
cal courage, but does ii make moral
heroes? M. q. McCASLIN.

WOMAN SAVED BY DOCTORS
SKILL is KILLED BY BILL

Editor Herald: An incident has oc-
Cured in our community which brings
sharply to my mind certain needs in
our civilization. A widow with a small
income on which she supported herself
and family was stricken with terrible
illness which lasted for months. Local
doctors and specialists from the city
were called, and their skill triumphed.
Slowly with many relapses, she was
brought back to the workaday world,
but it was different world. Appalling
debt confronted her everywhere. To
have died would have seemed less aw-
full to her than to have lived and not
to pay.
Her simple life had taught her no
means of earning money but the slow
process of hard labor, and soon we
saw her going to- and fro, trying with
her impaired strength to do what in
health would have been beyond her
power.
Today she died suddenly at her work;
saved by the doctors skill, killed by the
doctors bill
Is there not something wrong with
the state which pensions those who
bear arms, but will not pension those
who bear and rear it's sons, in their
suffering and need? Which votes un-
limited money for the business and
happiness of the strong, and leaves it's
sick to be helplessly exploited unless
they come to 1t as paupers? Surely we
will in the future think differently Of
the mission of the state.

BUILD PLACE IN JAIL YARDS
FOR FANATICS; LET PARKS BE

Editor Herald: The parks of a city
are generally laid out as a place of
rest; therefore to take the seats out
of Central park as stated in the morn
ing papers would not alone be an in
justice but would also be a foolish
piece of business.
Simply to beantify the park, with no
accommodations for the people who
seek rest in Gods acre" would be
throwing $97, 900 to the wind
1t has been said that many loafers
hang around and obstruct the walk
ways, just as though such a thing
should cause the council to deny the
good citizens a place to congregate.
What harm can accrue from a
windy" crowd assembled to argue
economic, political, philosophical. sci
entif1c, social or religious topics?
If men have hobbies to argue on
let them argue, so long as they Of
fend no one. If need be, build an
especial corner in the jail yard as a
coliseum for eccentric reasoners, but
for humanity's sake do not deny the
public a place OF recreation in Cen
trail park. TAXPAYER.
