PINCHOT'S WORK

NIFFORD PINCHOT'S work for the
ET American nation is so shockingly
N out of relation to his treatment
by most inappreciative and migrate
full administration that it provokes in
quiry as to whether the people should
not take part in the discussion and
approve Mr.. Pinchot in a manner that
may be highly distastefuI to hide
bound Republican partisans of the
anti-Roosevelt school. The very first
sermons on the subject of ma
tional economy and conservation ever
preached to this country were preached
by Clifford Pinchot.
The Roosevelt conservation policies
were suggested by Pinchot In fact,
Pinchot began as far back as the pres
idency of Grover Cleveland the great
work which aroused the enthusiastic
admiration of Theodore Roosevelt, VINO
was only too glad to avail himself of
the expert skill of Pinchot in giving
effect to policies which secured for the
American people 10000 acres near Ra-
yalli, Mont. where the experiment of
raising buffalo will be continued; 600,
900 acres in Washington (the Mount
Olympus national monument, and
nearly 100000 acres of the Superior
national forest reserve.
The Mount Olympus monument"
derives this curious name from the
fact that Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Pin
chot were perplexed over the special
legislation that might be applicable to
this reservation, until they found a
clause of an old law permitting the
government ito set aside any monu-
mental feature of nature that seems
worthy thereof"
Pinehot, so cavalierly ruled off the
! active service track, is one of the best
Informed and most reliable authorities
in a question the yastness of which
may be realized from the following
statement of acreage of forest or game
parks: Yellowstone national park
wyoming, 2.142, 720 acres; Chickamau-
ga and Chattanooga national and mil
! itary, Tennessee, 6195 acres; Sequoia
California, 100000 acres; Yosemite
California, 967,6SO acres; Mount Raj
nier. washington, 2O7,s6O acres; Crater
Lake. Oregon, 159, $50 acres; Canon
game preserve, 2,019,00O; Mount Olym-
pus national monument, 100000 acres
Superior game and forest preserve
sos, 743 acres; Wichita forest and game
preserve, 57.120 acres; Wichita nationa
bison range, 1850 acres; Montana ma
tional bison range (fenced range fo
captive game herds), 10000 acres; 10
tai, 7,25S.93S acres.
Truly, this is national interest o

THINKS REFoRMERs SHOULD
UNITE AGAINST FEE SYSTEM

Los ANGELES, Jan. 21.-[Editor
Herald: I see constant reference in the
Letter Box to the prison question,
which is unquestionably fone of the
most pressing problems Of the day.
That conditions in our city jails are dis
graceful appears to be beyond dispute,
and we should be profoundly grateful
for the fact that thanks to Judge
Works, there seems to be some chance
of their being improved. The task of
bringing about some humane treatment
in our state penitentiaries will be, no
doubt, far harder task; but it will be
accomplished as soon as public opinion
is sufficiently aroused, though not be-
fore. Similarly, with the ventilation of
this subject that is now in progress, it
will not be possible much longer for
the clergy to voice such vindictiVe
views as those attributed to DR.. Locke.
l do not question the sincerity of his
opinions, but l say emphatically that
they will not stand discussion. The
evidence that capital punishment and
other forms of vengeance only aggra-
yate the evil and incite to further deeds
of violente is simply overwhelming,
and DR. Locke will have to show that
he can answer such an array of figures
as the Prison Reform league has given
in its recently published book before
MS views can command any Respect
from the we'll informed.
But it seems to me that while We
may trust to Judge Works and others
to not allow the city Jail question to
rest there is another practical point on
which reformers might most success
fully concentrate energy. That is the
fee system.
Our Prison Reform league has shown
most clearly the frightful abuses to
which this anachronism, which makes
officers dependent for their income on
the number of arrests they make, in
evitably leads. 1t has shown that all
who have examined this system have
condemned it without mercy. Yet Los
Angeles county, which should be cen
ter of enlightenment for Southern Cal
ifornia, clings to it, although such
neighboring counties as Orange and
Kern have abolished it and pay all
their officers straight salaries. These
counties report that they could not be
induced to revert to the old plan, for
their taxpayers are saving large sums
annually and they find themselves far
more free from crime
The evidence adduced on this head
is apparently overwhelming, and | have
always wondered why the working
class, which suffers so much from the
injustiees to which the fee system
leads, does not work vigorously for it's
discontinuance.

NEW CHURCH

A HANDSOME new church edifice
"a has been added to the archi-
IA tectural attractions of Los An
geles. One of the most important and
costly Christian Science buildings west
of New York has been opened. and the
Scientists, with characteristic frank
ness. say it will be dedicated as soon
as the debt is paid off, We don't
think its formal dedication will be
long deferred, because the Christian
Scientists are enthusiasts, and they
do not procrastinate. The older Chris
tian churches cannot withhold admir-
alton of the spirit of absolute conf
dence. of demonstrated, trustful de-
pendence upon the heavenly will in
which our Christian Science friends go
forward from triumph to triumph.
Great is their faith, and it is ex-
hibfted in their works, for the Chris
tian Scientists act not only as if they
believe every word of the Gospel mes
sage is as true and as vital today as
ever it was, but as if they realize
thoroughly that faith without works
is dead" and that by their fruits we
must know them.
No matter what personal opinions
may be held regarding the great new
movement for a revival of the first
principles of Christianity. there can be
only one opinion as to the earnestness,
the sincerity, the devotion, the piety
and the success of all those engaged
in it. Great is their faith. Those who
cannot share it admire it. Christian
Scientists of Greater Los Angeles on
this, the day of the opening of the
new Second church, are well entitled
to the appreciation, the admiration,
the praise and the thanks of all of
their fellow citizens of Greater Los
Angeles.

IMMORTAL BURNS

A LII the world celebrates the birth
"a day of Robert Burns, but the
IA world seems to be as far away
as ever from achieving the ideals of
the Scottish singer of the manliness
of the individual and the brotherhood
of man. Will the day ever come
when, in the words of Tennyson, who
admired and often echoed Burns, the
battle flags will be furled in the par
lament of man, the federation of the
world? We don't hear much about it
in these times. Tt is admitted peace
may be compelled by mutual fear;
that nations will find it more profitable
to enter into a peace pact than to be
kept in a condition of excited suspense
by the contemplation of the POSSIBLE
tiles created by modern inventions.
Burns is claimed as the national
bard of Scotland. But he is far more
than that. He is the poet of all man
kind, and there never was a time in
the worlds history when the poetry of
Burns was more down to date than it
is now. The civilized world respects
1.-THE immortal memory of the Ayr
shire farmer. Therefore the civilized
world should realize his memory is inn
mortal because his words are immor-
tai, and his words are immortal be-
cause they are as true today as when

INCENDIARISM

A GREAT deal of incendiary litera-
u ture is going the rounds" En-
"A couraged by the new Interrogation

chievous magazines are busiIy engaged

thoughts, especially inAaming the peo-
pie OF the German empire against the
people of the British empire, because
in spite of the ignorance or forget
fitness Of magazine writer's who dis
cuss war chances" Germany would
not fight England" 1t would not
even fight the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, but would
fling down the gage of battle to the
British empire. And when would such
worldwide war end? If we must dis
cuss war, let us stop this foolish and
misleading habit of talking about
England" and the invasion of ENG
land" and think of the far-fung en-
pire, with its advanced civilization, its
thousands upon thousands of schools,
its millions of scholars, its hundreds of
universities, its thousands of churches,
and its thousands of publications, daily,
weekly and monthly There is only one
other country in the world in which
there is such general intellectual ac-
tivity, and that is our own broad con-
tinent, which, thank heaven, is massive
enough to resist the attack of any for
eign power.
The most "successful' invasion of the
United States could only make a dent
in our invincible civilization; and it is
ridiculous to think the occupation of
London or the capture of the United
Kingdom by a German army and navy
would end the empire.
But it would cause inconvenience,
especially to the United States (for
Britain is our principal cash customer)
and to the colonies, which would find
themselves to a great extent cast on
their own resources. These resources
are ample. AS we believe in ciYiliza-
ton, and would dislike to see it set
back to glut the ambition of a Ho-
henzollern, we hope the incendiary talk
of the periodicals will not be followed
by incendiary action on the part of
the nations they are melting to combat.
