A WOMAN ON JUSTICE

Editor Herald: I see by your issue
of October that The Herald solicits
donations for the relief of the unfor-
tunate families of the men who so
cruelty lost their lives in the fire
which destroyed the Times building
last Saturday morning. 1 heartily
agree that a liberal donation should
be raised for them. IF you will per-
nit a slight digression, 1 wish to say
that I am not a unionist, nor, so far
as I am aware, is any member of my
family or that of my husband mem
ber of a union. But I believe In JUS
tice to all people of whatever country
or class, and I believe in the strict OBJ
serVance of the requirement that the
accused shall be considered innocent
until proved guilty" 1 greatly regret
that Governor Gillette, even before
there had been any examination into
the cause of the catastrophe, eX-
pressed himself as he did in regard to
the responsibility of the union men
for the disaster. Members of unions
are human, as are members Of Repub-
lican and Democratic organizations
YES, and of churches. Among all may
be found men capable of great crimes,
but the labor unions seem to be the
only ones required to prove themselves
innocent before being so considered.
Leaders Of the unions are, usually, at
least, men of intelligence and wisdom,
as shown by the way they have for
years borne the unjust accusations
and abuse of the editor of the Times.
Treatment, must in justice say. very
different to that received from the
pen of the editor of The Herald. Sure
ly no thoughtful person can believe
the destruction of those poor work
ing men in the Times building could
have been the result of a plan of a
labor organization. You, Mr.. Editor,
must realize that it would have been
the worst thing for their cause they
could have done. And their enemy
being out of the city and office, what
could have suggested the act?
Begging pardon for my long disgres-
sion, L will now say a few words on
the main subject, the donation. Hav-
ing for years been donating to the
extent of my financial ability for the
relief of the sufferers in the mining
districts who have been blown up, or
buried-not only by twenties, but by
hundreds, many times by reason or
the heartless neglect of the mine own
ers to see that the required appliances
for their protection were In place. !
am not now able to donate to the un-
fortunate of Los Angeles, much as
should be glad to do so. / realize their
need and that they should be well
cared for, but 1 am confident there are
many who, possibly, have not known
of the needs of those in other states
who will gladly aid their fellow citi-
zens of Los Angeles. They surely VIII
realize that "the need is urgent ana
respond accordingly.

r. r. AS ONE SEES HIM

Editor Herald: My last dealt with
Theodore Roosevelt as police commits
sioner, soldier and hunter.
AS president, he filed the admin-
istrative offices with notorious corpora
ton att~rneys and touched" those
corporate inter- is for his campaign
fund-though he squealed and denied
it when exposed. His onslaughts on
1.-THE interests always ended in words.
Northern Securities and beef trust,
to wit. His chosen agent in the lat
ter case was a man who allowed him
self to be Wined and dined by the very
trust itself into believing that 1T didn't
exist,
While claiming to stand for the
workers T. r. has always turned down
coldl any appeal or protest against the
| importation of troops and Pinkerton
thugs into a peaceful strike. He winked
at the smeter trusts violation of the
| laws in Colorado, at the "Citizans' al
| lance" and military thuggeries and
! deportments at Cripple Creek and
! Occur d'Alene, at the kidnapping and
money-loaded prosecution of Meyer and
| HAYWOOD; and .Aore shameless and
coWardly than all else, he sought to
! kick the beam against these men by
calling them undesirable citizens"
while vet on trial for their lives.
And what shall be said of the Dick
! militia law, smuggled through under

any feared invasion. but to put gun

man-the president! That's what it
means.
AS retiring president T. r. gave us
as a successor the plethoric individual
who lowered our tariff upward" and
protected the conservation Wreckers.
| And now he hopes to step back to
power on steppingstones of his own
nominees misdeeds.
Finally as ex-officio distinguished
persohage,' first at Cairo, then in
london he mischievously, cruelty and
impertinently meddled to stiffen the
rod of British oppression in Egypt; ar
raying himself on the side of Earl Grey
and the unspeakable Lord Cromer Of
Denghawi infamy; not to mention the
grandiose Lord Curzon, who, as vice
ROY. mocked the starving peasantry Of
India with self-glorifying durbars and
pageants worthy of a Sardanapalus.
If deeds mot words) and the com
panv one keeps are the true tests OF
character, then further comment is
surely needless. PETER DALE.

MISSIONS, NOW AND THEN

IT'S It true that Christianity is Ian
gushing here at home because
L too much stress is being placed
by the churches on foreign missions
and too much on the foreign field? One
often hears the criticism that there Is
enough to do right around US" when
foreign missions are discussed. This
question may be left for the religious
leaders to deal with. Certainly 1t is
indusputable that never was there
greater activity in the church-speak-
ing Of it as an institution-as regards
the distant fields than now.
Reports made to the recent worlds
missionary conference in Edinburgh
in it's way the most remarkable religi-
Gus gathering of a century-show that
there are at work in such lands no
fewer than 1888 societies, of which PA
are American. The total amount eX-
pended a year now reaches S24.676,-
$50. of which America gives $9,013, 376.
There are at work 1880 missionaries
from Christian lands, besides 9S,3SS
men and women born in the lands in
which they labor. The places occupied
number $4,000. Foreign work has been
carried on for about 100 years, most of
it very small during most of those
years. The number of church mem
bers now reaches 1,925,2o5, and adher-
ents numbering 5,2S1,871 more. The
Sunday school pupils number 1,19S,602,
and the Christian converts on all of
the fields gave last year toward their
own work 50, ,650, 500. There are many
branches of effort besides the regular
evangelistic one For example, there
are on the fields 1,3S4,681 scholars in all
sorts of schools, and last year 7,501,-
O13 patients were treated by Christian
physicians not native to the lands in
which they labor, but who have gone
to lands other than their own with the
missionary spirit and motive.
The foregoing figures and facts re-
late to Protestant work. If the Greek
and Roman Catholic work be added
the total membership in the same lands
is 1S,300,000, or some say even higher.
In numerous instances natives are
themselves turning missionaries, and
among them have developed real lead
'ers 1t is therefore predicted that the
next 100 years will see progress in
much greater proportion than in the
last century.
Church statictics in America seem to
show indisputably that with the eX-
ception of the Roman Catholic, and
perhaps the Methodist branches, the
worldliness due to the increase in
church here is not going ahead but
rather feeling the marked effects of
wealth and the drift to the cities. All
of which suggests the (perhaps not
far-fetched) question: In 100 years
from now will the then Christianized
far ends of the world be sending for
eign" missionaries to pagan Chris
tendon?

THE CAUSES FIXED

Tn HE committee named by Mayor
Alexander 20 investigate the
l. causes of the destruction of the
Times building have rendered a report
that says in effect that a high-power
explosive was used at a point in the
alley running from Broadway over the
press room in the basement and under
the composing room in which were
employed most of the men who met
death.
The verdict Of the committee is un-
animous. 1t accords with the over
whelming preponderance of popular
belief, based on no technical informa-
ton, but on a series of events that
could leave no doubt of a carefully
laid, malevolent plot to blow up other
buildings as well as the Times plant.
The force that was so great as to lift
tons of typesetting machines with the
men working at them on the second
floor, to the ceiling. as survivors testi-
fed, was no ordinary explosion.
The committees personnel was one
that had the public confidence, both as
to its ability to study the important
subject and to render a just report.
Open minds that have been withhold
ing Judgment as to the cause Of the
explosion will be satisfied that there
is no longer any doubt Of the physical
cause of the explosion.
One of the Incidents of the explosion
which puzzled many persons was the
almost incredible speed with which
flames shot through the wrecked build
ing. That has been accounted Tor by
the discovery of the fact that in the
alley where the explosive was placed
were more than twenty barrels of
printers ink, composed chiefly of oil
and Iampblack. The great force of the
explosion sent this in blazing sheets
through every opening made by the
nitro-compound.
The assassins must have had both
visible and aural evidence of the large
number of men at work within the
reach of their deadly stuff. The psy-
geological aspect Of the deed is still a
mystery-how any human minds could
carry out so cruel a plot.

Disregard for the needless suffering
Of charity patients, especially children
cannot possibly ne condoned or ex-
oused. In spite of the great and noble
work done by the hospitals and free
clinics there is occasion for shame and
Indignation when we have to stand by
and see helpless children with broken
limbs being twisted and turned ana
pulled and jerked around with no one
to raise a voice of protest and no law
to invoke to mitigate their needless
suffering.
1 know of many city hospitals where
this cruel practice still obtains, or
bones setting without the aid of little
gas or chloroform to ease the sufferer.
and the excuse in every case Is the
need of economy. Yet the material
would cost but few cents-probably
less than the cigar that the operator
lights when the clinic is overland this
paltry sum, and the callousness of the
hospital authorities, are all that stand
between the agonized patient and
painless operation.

MAPLE AVENUE COMPLAINT

Editor Herald: Is it not possible to
prevent cars running on Maple avenue
at excessive rate of speed? This
street is used as a road to the barns
in the southern part of the city, and
it is thing Of ordinary occurrence for
cars Of other lines, en- route to the
barns, to be operated over this line
on a narrow street, at speed of from
forty to fifty miles an hour. Today
a team of horses was killed at SIX
teenth and Maple by one of these fly
ing juggernauts. If child had been
on the track 1t would be absolutely
impossible to stop for hundred and
fifty feet beyond the crossing, SO
speedy are the cars at this point. we
who live on or near Maple avenue are
thoroughly exasperated at existing
conditions, and we certainly hope that
something In the line Of relief Will be
afforded before an appalling sacrlfce
of human life is recorded.

Oh, painter Of the fruits and flowers!
We thank thee for thy wise design
Whereby these human hands OF ours
In Natures garden work with thine.
And thanks that from our daily need
The 10y of simple faith is born;
That he who smites the summer weed
May trust thee for the autumn corn.
Give fools their gold. old knaves their powers
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fali
Who sows a field, or trains flower
Or paints tree is more than ALL
For he who blesses most Is blest;
And God and man shall own his worth
Who tolls to leave as his bequest
An added beauty to the earth.
And, soon or late, to all that SOW,
The time OF harvest shall be given;
The flower shall bloom, the fruit shall grow
