ASKS THOSE WHO BELIEVE
TO SHOW FORTH THE SIGN

Editor Herald: M. q. McCaslin
represents the NEW theology" as be-
ing in large part a rejection of the
supernatural in religion and self-con-
ceit. Why does more self-conceit at
tach to unbelief than to belief? He
credits "these pretended theologians"
with "a little learning, which is
dangerous thing" The inference is
that he regards himself as having
more learning. On which side is the
conceit?
He says Jesus did his miracles
that they might be convinced" yet we
are told in one place that he mar
veled at their unbelief" and could
do no mighty work. save that he
healed a few sick Doesn't that seem
to indicate that what cures he really
performed were of subjective nature?
Paul "healed'' all manner OF diseases,
but was sick himself a good deal.
Timothy, also, seems to have been
afflicted with stomach trouble ana
"often infirmities." The higher critics
have arrived at the conclusion that
the miracles must be given up, but
they do not Try to make Jesus out a
siuggler" who fooled the people"
Thew seek to determine what he really
said and did out of all that the gospels,
written in an age of universal credul-
ity and exaggeration, and after q
nalf century OIL e|AAO
tradition, represent him as having said
and done. The TRANSPORTATION, like
all the other miraculous features OF
the Christ story, is not original with
the gospels. The same legend at
tached itself to Buddha. AS for the
flood. / should think Christians would
be glad to get rid of it. 1t is hardly
calculated to inspire love and rever-
ence for it's author.
Scientific discoveries, according TO
Mr.. McCaslin. often vanish when the
sun comes up" Perhaps so, but think
how much more aptly that applies to
miracles. The dawn of enlightenment
is the twilight of miracles. When
Christ was "foretelling the miracles
his followers would perform In his
name, he was talking about superna-
tural doings." Exactly. "And these
signs shall follow them that believe"
Let them that believe show forth the
signs. r. o. SMITH.

SAYS COOPERATION MUST
HAVE DEFINITE METHODS

Editor Herald: To prove that the
international Socialist movement
means state Socialism, William g.
owen quotes from the writings Oh w.
M. Hughes, attorney general or Aus
tralia. He had better prove that the
attorney general is a real Socialist.
1t has been falsely said that W. j,
Bryan is a Socialist. Of course So
ciallsts speak of the Socialist state and
government ownership, but that does
not mean state Socialism, where the
state would be power outside and
above the peoples will.
Co-operation cannot be carried on
without some definite rule to be FOL
lowed. And If the anarchists will try
II without any rule they will surely
fail. And If they decide on q rule to
follow they are no longer anarchistlc'
l have read William G. owens An
archy VS.. Socialism" There he says
definitely that anarchy means with
out rule" And that they have no CO.
operative commonw ealth cut and dried
to impose on the generations yet to be
born. Well, so say also the Socialists
concerning the cooperative common
wealth. But he loses all control OF
truth when he says of Socialism: But
the association of men who are com
pelled by the whip Of authority to live
together in an army, sharing the same
table, the same room and be forced to
be in each others company day after
day, even where their personal rela-
lions are bitterly hostile, is about as
near hell as it is possible to get"
OF course that would be hell. 1t
would also be state Socialism. And
we Socialists are trying our best to
enlighten the work people against state
Socialism and the misrepresentation
of such as Herbert Spencer and Will
liam c. Owen.
1 cannot see what one can gain by
telling a falsehood, as the falsehood
will surely be found out.

MORE MOVING PICTURES

TT appears that there was Johnny
on-the-spot when Mayor Gaynor
Il was shot down on the deck of the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, and he
took some moving pictures Of the grue-
some incident. The wild-eyed, dishev-
eled Gallagher, the blood smeared VIC
tim, the panic-stricken friends and
fellow passengers are very wildly de-
picted. But now the police have re-
fused to let the pictures be shown to
the public.
In this they are quite right. Only
the most morbid of natures could wish
to see the shocking affair spread out
on canvas. Law or no law in the case,
the New York authorities will see that
decency rules. In short time, how
ever, we may expect to see the Hearst
newspapers bristle with sickening can't
demanding the suppression of the pic
lures, after they are suppressed, and
going around and getting the in
dorsement Of lot OF simple minded
women for their crusade.
Judge Gaynor was shot nearly two
weeks ago. The deed was the tragic
elimination Of a savage and long con-
tinued attack on Mayor Gaynor by
Hearst. Not until yesterday, how
ever, did the Examiner Of this city
make the slightest editorial reference
to the shooting or express a word Of
sympathy for the PROSTATE victim of
it's venom and Gallagher's bullet. 1t
had plenty of time to telegraph clear
across the country pagefuls of abuse
when it was pursuing Gaynor, but
no room on the longest leased wire
for even a perfunctory expression of
human regret over the sad affair.

VICIOUS PENoLOGY

TN The Herald's Letter Box of yes
terday appeared a communication
Il from one of our Prison Reform
league correspondents, in which he
gave the close of the remarkable
speech on prison reform delivered in
the British house of commons by the
home secretary, Winston s. Churchill.
The speech and the propositions of the
British government have been noticed
extensively in eastern newspapers. and
it is will that they should be brought
to the attention of this community.
For Los Angeles seeks to stand in the
van of progress, and it is necessary
that she should remember that, in Mr..
ChurchilPs words: 1.-THE mood and
treatment of crime and criminals is
one of the most unfailing tests Of the
civilization of any country"
The Herald has had much to say of
late respecting the exorbitant bill of
expenses run up against the taxpayer
by the district attorneys office, but
the conGuct of that office involves is
sues far graver than mere dollars and
cents; issues The Herald gave peep
into lately when it exposed the meth
DDS by which Fred Horning had been
brought to confess crime he has
since repudiated. In that exposure we
indicted the entire philosophy that has
dominated the administration of GRIM
inal law in this community as dictated
from the central power house, the dis
trict attorneys office.
Long continuance in office too often
has the effect of hardening mems
hearts, of lettering them to precedent,
of dulling their ears to the march of
human progress; and this is just what
is the matter with the present admin
istration of the district attorneys Of
flee. 1t found on coming into office
an unwritten law that the police
should have the freest hand in the
extortion oc confessions; it succeeded
long ago to the tradition that officers
should be rewarded and the district
attorney honored in proportion as our
prisons are kept well filled; it inher-
tied the habit of looking with sus-
picion on jurymen who thwarted the
prosecuting officers ambition to con-
Wet And unfortunately jury service
is a business, paid for by the county
and, therefore, under the influence of
the political machine. The juryman
who is not more or less subservient
to the district attorneys office will not
find himself in much request at 81 a
day.
The world has moved and Los An
geles is anxious to keep up with the
procession. This city is full of thought
full men and women who do not be-
lieve it to be the business of prosecut-
ing officials to obtain convictions at
any cost; who consider that confess
sions dragged from helpless prisoners
by threats and violence are not worth
the paper they are written on; who
hold that the attitude OF vindictive-
ness toward those accused of crime is
unworthy of a civilized community.
This, in our judgment, is a mental
evolution that has been at work in
this community far more extensively
than the district attorneys office has
understood, and, unless we greatly
miss our guess, it will make itself
felt at the polls next November.

OLD SOLDIER WRITES EXPOSE
OF M'LAcHLAN's METHODS


Editor Herald: The Hon. James
lIcLachlan was up at the Soldiers
Home the other day giving the old
boys lot of hog wash about his dis
tingushed services in their behalf dur
ing his several terms in congress. In
fact, he tried to impress on our minds
that he is q man of national reputa-
ton and that we might go through the
country with a fine tooth comb with
out being able to find a man OF his
ability.
I would like to ask the Hon. James
IL he has ever personally investigated
the conditions existing here in the
home. or, like Cox of Ohio, asked for
an investigation in our behalf? No.
The only time that we have known of
that gents existence Is when one OF
us received an increased pension I'M
der the McCumber age act. The hon.
orable gent would send us one of his
stereotyped letters telling us that he
had been on his knees in our behalf
at the pension department and had
finally succeeded in getting the allow
ance. When the writer arrived at the
age of 10 his application for the legal
increase was allowed, and shortly af-
ter came one of the usual letters In
this case, stating what trials and trih-
ulations it had caused him to con-
vince the pension office that I was
in the army at all, notwithstanding
they had my commission, muster out
papers and affidavits of age. At that
time 1 did not know that there was
such being In existence as the Hon.
James McLachlan. There is q politi-
cal graft much INDUCED in and rushed
through congress granting pensions to
people who are unable to obtain them
through the regular channel. IL one
has a pull it makes no odds. Even II
he had been a deserter to the Confed-
crate army he gets there all the same.
Some able bodies at our home, who
pose as carrying the soldiers vote in
their pockets, have been getting spe-
cial pensions at the rate of $25 per
month. The Hon. James may have
had q finger in that pie. You can
set 1t down as a maxim that the most
independent voters in the state are
found In the Soldiers Home. and the
man that claims to carry our votes in
his pocket is a lineal descendant of
NoRMANDo P. BLANCo.

i pproach Of Winter Makes
it Necessary for G.. N. to
Put in Makeshift.

The proximity Of winter and the
fact that snow has already begun to
fly in the mountains has forced the
Great Northern to abandon, for the
present, the further construction OF
the concrete tunnel at Wellington
and a big force OF men are rushing
timber snowsheds to completion. The
original order for 100000 feet OF
lumber will probably now be enlarged
about 100000 feet Gangs of men
are daily at work blasting out rock
for the snowsheds at several points
between Wellington and Scenic. Con
tractor Chase is losing no time in
getting the work completed before
the heavy snowfall. The concrete
construction of necessity had to be
abandoned as it could not have been
advanced to a stage where it would
be OF value before the bad weather
begins this winter.
