sooner reaches q dramatic moment (in the
sense of the original melodrama) than he
drops il altogether, and resorts to harmonic

OPPOSES HIGH BUILDINGS

Editor Herald; The council acted

to say, in the outstart, was wisely
said; THAT such buildings made a con-
geStion in traffic in the vicinity where
they were located

WHY THE WEST PROSPERS

THE uninterrupted prosperity OF the west is cN-
citing the wonder of the east, which has set
L tied down to winter grumbling about tight
money and the falling off i'll business. The secret
may be found in the fact that the west is constant
ly increasing its products while the east is becom-
ing less and less of a producer. Back there they
have to pay cash for the things that the man i'll the
west gets in his back yard for the picking. OF all
the country, Southern California has the greatest
reason for prosperity because here it can be safely
said that crop of some kind is being harvested
every month.
The west prospcrs also because 1t obcys the law
that all real wealth that is enduring comes from
Naturcthc products OF the hills and the soil. The
wealth that is made here comes from the produc-
ton OF things the world needs as against the toll
taken by manipuIators and spectators from the
results of the toll of others The money that IS
earned by producing something is the kind that
sticks and the communities that produce most Gu
10y the greatest OF continuous prosperity
New York especially growls but the complaints
come mostly from that class who have thrived for
years by capitalizng blue sky and selling it to the
rest Of the nation at premium. The people OF the
west have come to know that they have Just as
good quality OF blue sky at home and that it does
not cost them anything.
Nor have the railroads a right to complain.
They are carrying heavier traffic than they ever
did in their history and the fact that too often has
"a S25-ton OF rails been made the excuse for $50
bond is a fault Of their own making.

MAKE A POLICEMAN CHIEF

THE board Of police commissioners, it is un-
derstood, is about to choose new head for
the police department. 1t should bear i'll
mind that Los Angeles is city OF more than 5z0-
600 people and the center of population OF 5O0OOO
and that the day OF experimenting i'll the protec-
ton OF so vast multitude is past. What Los An
geles needs is policeman for head OF the force
There are good and trained men IN the ranks who
know what ought to be done o give the city bet
ter police administration. and one OF them should
be named for the position
Every time a civilian has been placed in that
position the results have not been all that could
be desired in the way OF efficiency. Hard-headed
business men would not think OF installing lay
man as the head OF hospital nor would they pick
one of their own number to be the head OF law
firm, so why 60 outside OF the men who really
know the business for policeman,
man from the ranks is never so much in dan
ger of forgetting duty to look after fads is a
civilian chief, because the trained man knows moth
ing but his duty and he gets busy doing It.

TAKES ISSUE WITH EDISON

Editor Herald: MIR. Edison says he
doubts the existence Of a soul or spirit.
Mr.. Edison is exceedingly great in d
certain direction, but he cannot put
living spirit into anything be he ever
so great. His recording phonograph
records only that which a living spirit
has given forth and whatever may be
done with electricity must have man,
in other words living spirit, guiding
and making use of it. Electricity
cannot manage itself, be it ever so
powerful, but must be managed by a
living spirit. And this proves that
spirit is above and beyond all else, con-
sequently he is the master of it.
Is it the matter of which his body
is composed which masters electricity,
or is it the spirit within that body Of
matter? 1t is. The man consequently
cannot lose its identity because the
material sloughs away from the iden-
titled man, spirit is indestructible, con-
sequently immortal. 1t cannot die
and man carries his form and identity
throughout eternity. Edison is the
identical Edison. j. q.

HAIR PULLING DENIED

Editor Herald: Observing much
controversy respecting Richard Bar
rvs article on woman suffrage, recent
ly published in the Ladies Home Jour
nal, | wrote to an exceedingly well
known suffragette, requesting further
light. In reply she has sent me quite
a criticism of the article and what she
labels Extract from letter sent to
me by prominent Denver woman 1t
reads, in part, as follows:
''The factional fight which Barry tells
about took place in the Jane Jefferson
Democratic club, an organization COM
posed of women job holders under the
city hall machine, with the wives and
dauTEters of otficeholders, or Speer
henchmen. The leaders Of the two
factions are Mary c. c. Bradford and
Mrs ]. b. Hunter, once dearest
friends, now sworn enemies. There is,
no doubt, much tenseness of feeling
between the two factions, but there is
not a word of truth in the hair pull
ing yarn. 1t was told that one wo-
man pushed another out of her way
when the election conflict in the club
was at it's hottest--but even that story
is denied. | need not add that the
Jane Jehersons are in no way represen-
tative of Denver Womanhood."
The correctness of the statement in
the asst sentence | do not doubt. New
ertheless, politics seems to be getting
in it's usual deadly work with sec
ton of the Denver women.

RESPECTS OTHERS BELIEFS

Editor Herald The thought has
come to me that We do not reflect the
sweet spirit of charity manifested by
Christ csus. our way shower, when we
want only to Cliticise the religious be-
lief of our neighbors. especially when
we do not know or understand the re-
ligious belief of this neighbor. ! am
afraid that some of us are prone to
forget the wonderful teachings of our
Master in his sermon on the mount, or
we should attend to our own business
and keep our mouth shut and pen still.
Christ speaks forth in language that
cannot be misunderstood by any sin
cere and honest person when he says
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye
shall be judged. and with what measure
We meto. t shall be measured to you
again" Does not this teach us that
our unjust criticisms will not injure
our neighbour but that it will reflect
back on us and cause us to suffer what
we hoped to make our neighbor suffer.
blessed are they which are perse-
cuted for righteousness sake. for theirs
is the king lom of heaven. Blessed are
We when men shall reVile you and say
all manner cf evil against you falsely,
for my sake; rejoice and be exceeding
glad for 50 prosecuted they the

CRITICISM FOR CRITIC

Editor Herald: The recent attacks on
Christian Science by a local preacher
have appeared exclusively in the col
umns of a local bird of feather
daily generally recognized for its de-
praVity. 1t will be observed that the
reverend gentleman sums up his TRADE
by quoting from letters received from
various sources commenting his course
and TeCiting instances wherein Chris
tian Science has resulted in disrupting
households and causing other evil con-
ditions following it's acceptance by GER
tain persons, which might be said OF
any religion and don't prove anything
i'm particular except possibly to illus
trate what Jesus said; Il come not TO
bring peace but a sword"
This same gentleman received other
communications testifying to benefits
received through Christian Science,
both spiritual and physical but deslr-
ing to present only one side and thus
wilfully misrepresenting the subject
in hand no mention is made OF SUCH
although regularly subscribed to by
the writer's full names and addresses.
Jesus commanded his followers to
"preach the gospel heal the sick the
one being synonymous with the other
Does our critic do this? No. They
"havc a form of Godliness, but deny
ing the mower thereof" and so must
"preach Christ of envy and strife"
Envy of the amazing growth OF chris
tian Science is causing this waning

THE HERALD'S PUBLIC LETTER BOX
SAYS MINISTER DANCES

Editor Herald: Having always un-
derstood that the rules of the Baptist
church forbid dancing and theater-go-
ing, I am at a loss to understand how
the Baptist church allows one of its
ministers (Rev. Burdette) and his wife
to not only attend theaters and balls,
but to be in the theater business and
to be patrOness of the New Years ball
at Pasadena. as Mrs. Burdette often is.
if it is against the rules of the Bap-
tist church for lay members to dance
or attend the theater, ! should think
il would be a far more serious offcnse
for one of it's ministers to do the same,
as it would be his place to set good
example. Perhaps some of the Bap-
tst readers can enlighten me on this
point. l always understood that the
members We're expelled from the church
for dancing and theater-going. Why
then has the minister, of all people, the
right to break these rules? And as for
making money out of the theater bust
ness, what do the Baptist laymen think
of that in one of their ministers? Since
reading your editorial on advertising
as a means of increasing the attend
ance at the questionable play at Tenn
pie auditorium, it has occurred to me
that perhaps the Temple Auditorium
church. being interested in Temple
Auditorium theater, may have purpose
ly sought to draw a crowd to that
naughty play. HELEN STANDlSH.

THE ROCKEFELLER GIFT

NIDENTLY John d. Rockefeller does not
r believe that giving encourages gifts. That
- is why lie announced that his Christmas gift
.of Sl0OO00OO to the University OF Chicago will
be his last to that institution when the payment OF
the ST 100000 instaIlments is completed.
He naivey says he has quit giving so that the
others may have chance, in the belief that other
big donations are not likely to come so long as the
public believes the unlimited millions of the Rookie
teller fortune are at the disposal OF that college
Mr.. Rockefeller also set at rest the impuat1ons
that he wanted to dominate the education OF the
youth OF the middle west by withdrawing his son
and Fred g. Gates from the board OF directors as
his personal representatives.
During the time that Mr.. Rockefeller has been
making his gifts the public also has contributed
81 100000 to the institution and it is the hope OF
the schools benefactor that the public will CON
time to do so.
What MIR. Rockefeller will do with his fast in
creasing millions is question. His wealth is so
enormous that it must have outlet As It was
contributed to Mr.. Rockefeller by the public per
haps he might be induced to allow the public to
suggest how it shall be spent

VACCINATION AND SERUM

Editor Herald: In last Sundays Let
ter Box DR.. u. w. Hunt OF Glendale
writes an article in defense Of vac
cination and he makes some state
ments so remarkable that | feel COM
pelled i'm the interest of 5ruth to reply.
The doctor admits there was time
when the vaccine was impure and un-
trustworthy and bungingly admins
tered, but that such is not the case
now. He admits the fearful indictment
that has been brought against this
system, but makes the statement that
if is not the case today. But we know
that it is the case today and that it is
doing its cruel work the same as ever,
The most remarkable statement he
makes is that anti-tOXin is such a
demonstrated truth now that it is no
longer disputed.
Aanti-toxin was discovered in 1893,
and soon came into general use by the
medical profession in England and
America, as well as in other civilized
nations. 1t has been hailed by GER
tain class of physicians as one of the
most important and life saving discov-
cries Of our time The claim has been
and the general impression prevails
that the death rate in diphtheria has
been cut down from 40 per cent or 80
per cent to 10 per cent by means of
the serum treatment. But actual sta
tistics which no one would think or
disputing prove that there have been
many more deaths per million persons
since 1898 than there had been before
that date This deplorable fact is shown
Enthusiastically by the statistics relat-
ing TO diphtheria at the register gem
erals office in England. The apparent
increase in the number of cases of
diphtheria is easily explained. Physi-
II
in most cases of sore throat and all
arc classed as diphtherites, although it
is altogether probable that not more
than 20 per cent are properly so classed.
The increased gross mortality has been
caused by the disease promoting serum.
There is no other possible way of ac-
counting for 40 per cent increase in the
number Of deaths per million of popu-
latiun year after year since the serum
treatment was established.

THE DEFENSE OF THE DUCK

TIE spectacle OF Hubert Latham hunting
ducks with shotgun in a monoplane IS both
cdifying and amazing as scientific achieve
ment but is it fair to the duck
The main protection of the duck against its
enemies has been that ii could fly. but doesn't pur
suing the bird into its own element with gun
take the performance out OF the realm OF real sport;
The only saving grace is that the duck also can
dive So, by not using a submarine also, MIR,
Latham saves himself in a measure.
Up to the present time the principal enemy the
duck had to fear was the eagle or the hawk 1t Is
true the man with the gun also was a menace, but
they were not Ill marksmen and brought more
prosperity to the ammunition manufacturer than
they did ducks to their own Iarder. Anyhow, the
duck had a chance but now when he is chased into
the cmpyrcan blue and cornered against a cloud
bank 10 be slaughtered he is not receiving the show
that a duck ought to get.
There is the other indictment that he is being
pursued by a machine with zoo square feet OF
stablizina surface and a 90-horsepoWer motor
while the quarry is confined to only one-duoE
power lor escape purposes.
Ieastways the gun is too much. 1t would be
more -por'~mauii5c if the aviator would run down
the duck catch it in bare hand and wiring its neck.
