A TRADERS OPINION

trader who carries large accounts in the local
market was quoted as follows yesterday regarding
the market outlook:
have been big bear the market for a long
time, but | am beginning to feel inclined to take
the other side My main reason for this is that
have been selling stocks in large quantities. and
every time my broker offers them he tells me there
is a very good market for them. without making
any large concessions in the price, and that the
stocks are being bought by good people which
leads me 10 believe that an Improvement NAV be
expected In the market. Another reason that | am
changing my position is that don't like the com
pany on the bear side. and almost every one seems
TO be beartsh. Whenever that Is the case IL is
good at times 70 take the Opposite side.

spiritualism and License Fees.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
AS q suppleme Mt to the statements of
Mary Y Longlay, Mr. Theodore J. Mayer
and Mr. F. A. Wood, quoted in last Satur-
DAVIS Star l wish to state that the ques-
ton of licensing mediums in the District of
Columbia was brought up in 1888. At that
time Assistant Attorney s. IT. Thomas an
ncunced his opinion as'follaws:
Such exhibitions described in the anony-
nous communications present n case of un-
adulterated fraud. Such exhibitions are
not comprehended in the license law, and
the taking of admission fees TO witness such
manifestations Is. simply getting money
Under false pretcnsesJJ.Of OF course, it is i'm
possible for any municipality to protect
everybody against such impositions. There
will always he people who are weak and
foolish enough TO be imposed upon in this
way 1t Is possible. however, for the Com
nlissioners to curtail and restrict the impo-
sition by refusing a lieensesoexcept in cases
where the manifestations are to take place
in public halls OF other places Of amuse-
ment." -
] replied to these statements Of Attorney
Thomas criticising his attitude toward the
phenomena of spirtualism, and stating
that the legislature of Ohio had imposed a
license on mediums without discrimination,
and invoking the District of Columbia to
refrain from exactinG similar disgraceful
legislation. Next day l received the infor-
nation that President then Governor) Nc
Kinley had amended the Ohio law imposing
a license on mediums. This action was
probably due to the efforts Of friends of the
cause The law was not applied here, and
the organization of spiritualsts as a nation
al body followed directly after. Since then
there has been a profound change of opin-
ion regarding these stupendously important
phenomena. The world over scientists, the
heads of colleges. statesmen. thinking
minds of every nationality, people Of every
rank and grade of society have recognized
their worth. The public mediums are inva
rably people of slender means. They can
not afford to pay q license fee. They have
