can this condition be truly
considered n manifestation "
apathy? In the past a prrSi
dental election has never
failed to bring out q fnl'
vote, and there is no reason
to apprehpnd that this com
ing election will be any ex"pp
tion.
Whatever may be said. the
issues in this election are spri
ous and far-rearhing. The
people nre doubtless reading
their newspapers and inform
ing themselves andnre going,
about it in a sane and sober
fashion. The work for the.
campaign committee OF each
party is to see that the prop
er arguments are addressed
to the undecided voter. 1t IL
moe likely that the voters
who are still undecided, or,
who at all eve 8 nrr.
not firmly attached to either
party, will determine the
great battle OF the coming
18th OF November. Neither
political party owns enough.
vote in the United States to
elect a President, and it is to
the independent vote. which
is necessary to victory, that
each party must make it's ap
peal in the next four weeks.
Unhappily 1t is assumed ms Il
fixed fact that each party
will make it's appeal in the
form they best understand
to the venal and corrupt
vote. Thiss vote, however,
seldom controls the result,
as it il likely tho vote pur>
chased by one party is offset
Ivy that purchased by the
other party. 1t is, there
lore, the politically unattach
ed, or independent vote that
will be a deciding factor. 1t
is a question whether a quiet
sober ca mpaign is not as et-
fective in a presidential yenr
as one of torch light process
sions. The main object OF
such things is to arouse the
interest of the apatbetic vo.
ter 40 that he will not fail to
vote. There is not much
danger OF such apathy in q
presidential wear. In the re-
cent elections Of Vermont
and Maine a full vote was
poiled, notwithstanding the
fact that the result OF the
elections in both States was
a foregone conclusion. Ma
tionaI affairs we're made the
issue in the campaigns in
both States, and for that
reason a full vote came out.

H. G. Wells isn't going to lose any
thing as the result of his recent trou-
BILE with the executors of the late
George Gissing. Gissing's two little
boys. however, are to be the poorer
because of it. The thing is especially
unfortunate for the reason that Gis-
sing left little or nothing, in consider
alton of which fact it may be remem-
bered. his children recently were
granted a small pension from the civil
list. II. G.. Wells was one of Gissing's
best friends and soon after the latter's
death Wells offered to write an intro
duction to Gissing's posthumous novel.
'Veranilda which is a romance of
the Byzantine empire. The offer was
gladly accepted by Algernon Gissing
and Miss Collett. Gissing's executors,
especially sas a London publisher was
prepared to pay quite decent price
for the novel on the strength of the
'forewOrd." When the introduction
was submitted, however, though it
had been highly approved by several
of Gissing's friends, it did not at all
please the novelist's executors. They
refused, in fact. to have it incorpOrat-
ed in the book. Wells. for his part,
declined to alter what he had writ

ONDON, Aug. 26.-Rider Haggard
has not stopped thinking about his
queer dream in connection with his
dog Bob. In fact, he hasn't been
allowed TO, people from all over the
country having been writing to him
concerning it. The question as to
whether this animal, in dying, COM
municated with it's sleeping owner,
is still being discussed in the news
papers, and few days ago it
Research Society intended to investi-
gate the matter. Meanwhile the author
OF she" in letter to the Times de-
clares that the many letters he has
received seem to prove almost beyond
question that telepathic intercourse
does exist between man and horses,
dogs, cats, and even birds. But by far
the most interesting part OF Mr.. Hag
CARDS second letter is theory which
he puts forth as to the possibility that
the same sort of soul exists in both
human beings and animals. What is
there he asks, Ito show that man has
reached finality in his knowledge Of
such wonders? Surely the daily in
creasing store of science indicates that
revelation is progressive and continu-
Gus. May we not still have much to
learn as to the fundamental oneness
of animal life, or, indeed, of all life? A
flame set in vase Of pure glass shows
brightly; in vase of porcelain, dim
ly; in a vase of rough clay, not at all,
or only through its cracks and imper-
fections. Yet the flame may be iden-
tical-of the same heat, light, power
and size; it is but the surrounding ma
terial that VARIES or. in the case which

gross physical body of the particular

which comes we know not whence and
goes we know not whither-happens 10

NOW COMES MRS. PRAED.
Certainly English writer's have been
having weird experiences. OF late. Mr.
Haggards dog story was run close by
the ghostly experiences OF Stephen
Phillips at Egham, but they are both
outclassed by the things Mrs. Campbell
Praed has to tell about her communi-
cations with a reincarnated Roman
maiden. When Mrs. Praed's new book,
"Nyria," which has to do with the
Eternal City, appeared recently. there
was a statement in the introduction
that the romance had been practically
dedicated by an English girl in whom
the soul OF an early Roman damsel
evidently dwelt, but. of course, no one
took the thing seriously. Mrs. Praed,
however, declines to be disbelieved, and
now she has given the exact details
OF how she made the acquaintance of
