sooner or later to overtake with Its
fell influence the innocent little dia-
mond.
In the name of all our fellow citi-
zens who are addicted to the use of
diamonds, we protest against the out
rageous and iniquitous oppression Of
the diamond trust. We are credibly in
formed the deprivation resulting from
this trusts methods will be far-reach-
ing and widespread.
Few people will be able to afford to
own or operate diamonds. They will
be reduced to the disagreeable neces-
sity of worrying along without them.
How they will manage we cannot say,
never having tried 1t ourselves, but we
assure you our heart bleeds for the
distressed who will be deprived of
their diamonds, and If we had any to
spare we would hand them around.
Perhaps some millionaire will be
touched by the sorrows Of his fellow
humans, writhing IN the contorted
agonies of a diamond famine, and he
may give away a few tons, just to
alleviate the sufferings of the desti-
tute. We said perhaps" To which

ENGINEER SUGGESTS CURE
FOR MINING DISASTERS

WILMINGTON, Cal, Feb. 2-[Ed-
itor Herald: When the phenomenal
power of the press is welded in be-
half of the people its fruits are some
times astonishing. However, its omis-
sions are often as harmful as its ef-
forts for the betterment of conditions
are successful. A case in point ap-
neglect of our coal mine operations.
The recent horrors in Colorado. Illi-
nois and elsewhere appear to only be
repetitions Of what has often gone be-
fore.
The fact that all deep coal mines are
necessarily filled with carbon dust,
thoroughly impregnated with sulphur
and accompanying gases, therefore
creating constantly a fair article Of
gunpowder. cannot be considered a
new question at this late date.
The country is full of scientists who
know that if these mines were per-
forated from above with ordinary oil
well drills an automotic draught would
thereby be established that would
draw out these dangerous fumes and
render such mining comparatively
safe. Even in cases Of internal cave
ins such 1ues could be relied IN to
furnish fresh air, automatically, and
save lives on a large scale. The fans
now in use are often of no value in
time of explosions.
But few people comprehend the pow
er of a draught, and it's increase, in
proportion to the height of the hue,
to say nothing of it's continuous opera
ton night and day.
AS a mining engineer, I made sug-
gestions along this line TO a Pennsyl-
vania coal operator, who protested
that it would cost too much and that
when once adopted the workmen
would demand an escape 1ue from
every chamber in the mine. In other
words, the lives of the miners, many
of whom have families to support, are
cheaper than the installation of a sim
pie safety appliance.
How do these facts comport, with
the recent tragedies, especially that at
Cherry, ILL.,? D. e. CONNOR, c. E.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-05

each other and with history, it has
seemed not an unreasonable thing
that one more should show his opinion,
hence these lines.
Certain accepted rules of interpre-
tation include this-viz. that the
meaning of no one verse can be as
certained without first ascertaining the
scope and meaning of the entire ad-
dress and its relation thereto.
1t is necessary to understand just
what the disciples meant by their
question, then we may know what
Jesus included in his answer 1t seems
to me there can be no difference of
opinion upon what I have thus far
written.
Let us examine, then, the question.
They call the attention of Jesus TO the
temple He says in reply. There
shall not be left here one stone upon
another that shall not be thrown
down." TO them a most amazing
thing, an event so stupendous that
'only the final judgment could be eX-
pected to see its accomplishment.
(Study size of stones, pride in struc-
ture, time in building, ETC., to see eff
feet of statement on disciples. l have
not space for it here.)
At their first opportunity they ask
"Tell us when shall these things be?
And what shall be the sign of thy
coming and of the end of the world?'
Here are two distinct questions about
things which the disciples evidently
concluded must probably occur at the
same time.
The answer. TO correct<t this misap-
prehension and prepare them for what
they were to experience he holds the
two events up in contrast, sometimes
referring to one, sometimes to the
other, as one might hold two objects,
one in each hand, speak Of things
common to both, then Of that belong
ing alone to one, then the other, re-
ferring to them by this or thai"
these" those" etc.
Now for hasty application of
above. Verses 4 to IA, q general sur
vey to the end with warnings as to
deceivers in their day. Verses 1928
refer exclusively to the destruction of
Jerusalem. How perfectly history
shows their fulfllment. Many false
Christs urged the people into the city
and temple on promise of deliverance,
only to be destroyed by the ''eagles.
(Roman army, eagle standards) 10
emphasize his warning against false
Christs he tells them when the Son
of Man does come il will not be by
Roman army or like these false lead
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-05

ers, but like the lightning, etc, verse
27.
Before reading verse 30. 'Immedi-
ately" read Marks record, 1.-THE gos-
pei must first be published among all
nations" And Luke, Jerusalem shall
be trodden down of the Gentiles until
statements omitted by Matthew and
not yet fulfilled. Now verses 29-31,
with quotations above from Mark and
Luke, refer exclusively to the second
question and undergoing fulhllment in
fact at present.
Now suppose Jesus to say, "To cor
rect your erroneous ideas and suitably
prepare you for your coming expert
ences / will give you a simple ia
miliar illustration" Verse 1898. The
fig tree represents the Roman army,
false Christs, when you see "these
things know that it destruction of
Jerusalem) is near" And then verse
"a, "This generation shall not pass"
etc. All in perfect harmony with the
questions, the method of answers and
history. Then holding up the other
hand, verse SO, "Sut of that day (my
second coming-end of the world)
knoweth no man." etc. That he is
coming, that men will be busy as they
are today Indifferent and unprepared,
he teaches in the rest of the chapter,
and in the 25th by three parallels great
truths about that coming and judg-
ment Men have repeatedly set, the
time and are still doing it, but that is
folly, but to make preparation for 1t
is highest wisdom.

OLD AGE PENSIONS

/" HEN we write of old age pen
w sions in the United Kingdom,
the innovation seems SO far
away it should not worry our progress
sive and enterprising United States
statesmen. But the news that an old
age annuities system is in highly sue
cessful operation in Canada probably
will provoke much comment and ere
ate considerable excitement in the
United States. There will be more of
an incentive than ever for English
speaking families to trek north. and
no one should be surprised to hear of
a more general exodus from New
England.
The reform by which Canada, fol-
lowing the example of most of the
English-speaking countries except the
conservative and slow moving United
States has abolished destitution
among the aged will make the domin-
ion more attractive than ever to the
people OF the United States. These
people hear the Declaration of Inde-
pendence read once a year on the
Fourth of July and don't hear it even
referred to during all the rest of the
year, unless. they read Los Angeles
Herald and a few, a very, very few.
other newspapers which think it worth
while TO uphold, maintain, defend and
advocate AMERICAN STANDARDS
AND PRINCIPLES.
BY the Canadian annuities act there
is placed within reach Of EVERY
CITIZEN OF THE DOMINION OF
CANADA facilities whereby he may
make provision for old age. The ap-
plication of the plan EMBRACES ALL
WAGE FARMERS. REGARDLESS
OF THE SIZE OF THE WAGE. THE
SMALL GARNER AS WELL AS
THE LARGE GARNER is TAKEN
CARE OF. AFTER ALL, THEY ARE
JUST EXACTLY THE SAME KIND
OF HUMAN BEINGS. AND WILL
BE ALIKE DEAD WHEN THEIR
TIME COMES.
The plan was designed at first to
reach individuals, but now efforts are
being made TO interest employers in
mills and factories and to make them
provide insurance for their employees.
The earliest age at which payments on
account Of annuity may be made is 5.
No annuity will usually be paid until a
citizen reaches the age of 55 years, and
no annuity will exceed the sum of 5000,
or about $12 per week. But there is
nothing tyrannically hard and fast
about the age at which the annuitant
may begin to draw pension. AS the
object is primarily to SUPPLY AN !
INCOME WHEN EARNING POWERS
HAVE CEASED, provision is made
that in case of invalidity or disable
ment the annuity shall be paid from
THAT time.
The annuity cannot be forfeited in !,
any way, nor can it be seized for debt. /
Isn't it about time for the people of
the United states to awaken to the I
fact that THEY ARE BEING LEFT |
BEHIND by every other English
speaking country in every department /
of social reform, social improvement, /
social comfort, social provision for the /,
greatest good of the greatest number? |
America is still free and independ-
ent BUT AMERICANISM HAS
BEEN ANNEXED BY THE BRITISH
COLONIES.
