JONES'" GUN ARGUMENT

Editor Herald: The excuse given by
Zones" in Sundays issue for carrying
q gun" is about as flimsy a thing
as ever heard Of The idea of every
body having gun" because some big
fellow might impose on another smaller
than himself, and because the lawless
will carry them, it places law abiding
citizens at a disadvantage.
Say "Jones," how would you ike
to have been the porter or passenger
that were shot, twice apiece, by an
insane man on a train near Ellis, kas.,
the other night? Think of III Two
innocent men shot down without
moments warning, and possibly NUM-
ber of children made fatherless and
two homes draped in mourning, and all
caused by an instrument indorsed py
such men as you as being the right
thing in the right place-Shame on
you. Three years ago, in the city or
Los Angeles, at a time when the writer
was stopping in that city, Mexican
shot three or four men in hotel OF
rooming house, and 1t was all done IN
the flash of moment and without
the least warning to those who re-
ceived his bullets.
Your claim THAT the lawless would
carry them" shows how much con1l-
dence you have in law enforcement.
Lucky" Baldwin said he would. op-
crate his race course regardless of the
law against it. Did he do 1t?
The mayor of San Francisco said
the Jeffries- Johnson fight would take
place there regardless of the governors
orders. Did 1t come off there?
I do, even If such fellows as you do
not, believe that we are becoming bet
ter as a nation, and l hope to see the
day when our great battleships will be
dismantled as life destroyers and put
into service as life, savers--carrying
commerce and passengers to and from
foreign lands.
Then when we, as a nation, throw
away our guns and stop our foolish
and imaginary looking for an enemy,
we can enact laws that will stop the
.gun" carrying clear down the line by
stopping the making of them, and thus
keep them out of the pockets OF the
"lawless"-then such fellows as you
viii have to fight the "big fellows"
with your fists or kick them on the
shins. w. ). BUhaOo111S'

OPPOSES MEAT AS FOOD

Editor Herald. A few weeks ago
announced to the public through The
Herald Letter Box that / would dis
tribute free to those who are inter-
ested copy of Humanitarian Phil
osophy," and in response received
not less than $50 letters and callers.
l requested in my announcement that
no man criticise nv booklet as no man
can take an honorable stand against
humanitarianism, / care not whether
from a Bible standpoint or otherwise.
One man, however, commented sarcas-
tically, but l paid no attention what
ever to his letter, as / consider The
Herald Letter Box a column for views,
not for continual harpings and de-
bates. I distributed several hundred
of my booklets free and shall continue
to do so to impress that the so-called
religious Jew, Catholic. Protestant and
Christian Scientist are living selfish,
ungodly lives by sanctioning the Kill
ing of our dumb fellow creatures to
satisfy the palate, rather than obey
God and conscience.
Taking the life of a creature that
suffers pain or flees from danger is
abominable in the sight of just and
merciful Creator, and every carnivor-
Gus religionist is aware of the indis-
putable fact. When religiously in
clined people condemn liquor ana TO-
bacco they must themselves abstain
from the stimulating tea and coffee
and be absolutely humane toward men
and beast or else cease condemning
others. I contend from the bottom OF
nv soul that the members of the w.
g. t. u. or the Y. NJ. C. A. or any
other religious institution lack the
grandest and noblest attributes of the
d-life-mercy, tenderness, love-when
they eat of the food of the murderer
slaughters.
These poor dumb beings were not
made our fellow creatures TO pc
slaughtered any more than man was
made for that purpose. WhosoeNer
saws they were created to be slain Is
contending from his abnormal palate
for savory dishes, not from the heart
and conscience.
The flesh food the religious man eats
was once a part of natures peaulil ~ u
creation, placed on earth through VI III
vine process to make the world more
beautiful-not to kill, decidedly not.
When the Christian contends Paul
Through divine inspiration) said 'Slay
and eat" or that Jesus Christ sane.
toned killing, they knock the props OF
divinity sky high and place Jesus (tne
meek and lowly, kind and mercl1ull
far below the standard of the great
indian philosopher and teacher, Budda
Guatama. who taught Thou shalt not
kill any living creature" ,r

CONGRATULATIONS TO
OUR HARBOR CITI-
ZENS

TT is with a great deal Of pleasure
that The Herald is able to con-
Il gratulate the people, who some
time ago voted the harbor into the COLI
troll of the city of Los Angeles over
the very important and signihcant
steps which the city council on Tues
day took in the direction of improV-
ing the harbor.
For a long time we have felt very
much concerned that the city had not
been able to announce it's harbor pro-
gram. At the same time we kne"
that every effort that Intelligence anu
good faith could dictate was being
made toward getting up the program
to be announced. We believe that In
the breadth and extent of the project
for a great harbor which is shown by
the plan for the harbor boulevard SUB
mitted to the council and adopted by
it our fellow citizens formerly OF san
Pedro will find an adequate reason for
the delay at which they have been
chafng.
We happen to know that the best
efforts and intelligence of the city en-
gineers office have been devoted Tor
months to making these plans and
that in a matter of such magnitude
and Importance they could not nave
been announced earlier. In fact, any
thing that the people of San PEDRO
would have gained in point of time IN
it's announcement would ineVltaply
have meant sacrifice in point OF COM
pletion and perfection.
The extension of the proposed great
highway around the harbor frontage
is a very apparent necessity to the
proper development of the harbor. Its
plan and location called for careful
and long continued work on the part
of the engineering force of the CITY,
After the plan was decided upon IL
became necessary then to have many
Investigations of title made so tnat
the city would be prepared to bring
condemnation proceedings to acquire
the property needed for the proposed
harbor front highway Immediately
upon the announcement of the project.
ANY delay in this would have admitted
of the manufacture of evidence as to
the value of property, ETC., which
would have cost the city many thou
sands Of dollars; money which can be
better expended IN harbor improve
ments than it could have been in pay
ing excessive and unjust prices for
property.
We also rejoice with the citizens of
what was formerly Wilmington that
the city council has undertaken the
Improvement of that portion of the
harbor frontage of their city which is
at the present time available for pub
lie Improvement. Waiting Is never
agreeable, especially when it involves
a delay in increase of values of prop
erty upon which people have calcu-
lated. In this instance, however, we
are sure that the delay could not have
been obviated without sacrificing
something of the perfection of the har-
Dor plans, and we believe that our har>
bor fellow citizens will soon realize
that the character of the plans that
have been evolved will more than COM
pensate them for some disappointment
which they have folt at the delay in
announcing them.

wAsHINeToN's REoUEsT

wants have been called extravagant

cism at home and abroad in regard 10

it's true that our national officials

AN INDUSTRIAL CHANCE

TN HE local chamber of commerce
may find it worth while to look
l. into the matter of the rumored
removal from Denver Of the Pullman
Palace Car company's shops to a
point along the Pacific coast The
Denver Republican in an editorial
urges the people Of that city to make
every effort to hold the industry.
The probability is that if the com
pany is considering a change of loca-
ton for its western works, it is be-
cause Of some strong economic reason,
as, for example, the superiority Of a
coast location as a manufacturing,
distributing or repair pUirrt If this
should be the case it is unlikely that
anything that Denver can do will lead
to a change of mind on its part.
The rapidly growing population and
general Importance Of California lends
probability to the idea that the Pull
man company needs a plant for con-
struction and repair hereabouts. It
has shops at Pullman, ILL.,. and St.
Louis, and therefore does not seem to
need any at Denver so much as on
this coast.
The superior advantages of Los An
geles ought to be brought to the at
tention of the car company. On the
other hand, the gain to this city Of
securing such an industry is apparent
for around it's kind cluster many
smaller ones that in time grow TO
large proportions.

OPPOSED TO VACCINATION

Editor Herald: Vaccination is sin
against nature, and compulsory vac
cination is a crime against humanity
We have a young boy in our home
whose blood is as pure as gold. Why
should we inject poison into his
system? God forbid that we would
ever be guilty Of such crime. The
danger Of vaccination is greater than
that of small pox. Vaccination is a
curse and the most destructive medi-
cal delusion that has ever afflicted the
human race. It is the boldest and
most impious attempt to mar the
works of God that has been attempted
for ages
New York Medical Tribune. 1880, says:
II have recently dissected more than
a dozen children whose deaths were
caused by vaccination, and no small
pox, however black, could have left
more hideous traces of its malignant
sores, foul sloughing, hearts empty
or congested with ciots, than did
some of these little victims. Shame;"
