SCIENTIFIC NONSENSE.

Sir oliver Lodge, principal of the
University of Birmingham and re-
garded as one of the greatest physicists
now living, has said some good things
about the indestruotibilIty of the spirit
The following is from an article by
that eminent scientist in the Hilbert
Journal:
Can that be a nonentity which has
built up particles of carbon and hydro
gen and oxygen into the form of an oak
or an eagle or man? Is 1t something
which is really nothing; and soon shall
II he manifestly the nothing that an
ignorant and purbllnd creature may
suppose II to be? Not SO; nor Is II so
with intellect and consciousness and

alteration. nor all the manifold a II II
ties which at present strangely interact
with matter and appeal to our bodily
senses and terrestrial knowie ge; they
are not nothing. nor shall they ever
vanish into nOthlngness or cease TO be.
They did not arise with US: they never
did spring into being; they are a.
eternal as the Godhoad itself, and in
the eternal Being they shall endure for.
ever"
This Is a strong argument on the
side OF life eternal. But Sir oliver Is
also reported as having expressed him
self to the effect that he feels con-
vinced that ne has received commune
cations from no less than three men
no longer living In the flesh. Accord

A sERMONET FOR WORKERS

[For the News" by II j. Hapsood. !
Don't give the boss black eye. The
employee who knocks the man he Is
working for Is poisoning the spring
from which he drinks. BE loyhl to your
employer. IL you cannot be loyal. you
can at least be honest, You have two
alternatives, You can boost, or you
can quit, and my advice to the young
man is, If you can't boost your boss,
leave his employee forever
Some time ago young chap who was
employed as a clerk in large manu-
featuring establishment, came into my
office and without tho slightest provo
cation on my part began to abuse
the head of the firm in the most Vio-
lent manner Imaginable. He called
that man everything from a thief to
a jack-ass. Jessie james and Jack-the-
Ripper We're Sunday school children as
compared with his boss. In fact ac-
oording to the real statements OF the
young hammer artist. his employer was
guilty of every crime known to husi-
utSS plidAtS.
After he was all through I turned
to him and said young man, 1 have
never met your employer and know
nothing about him. So being unac-
quainted with the facts of the case, l
am not entitled to Judgment as to his
real character and business integrity
but IL he is as bad as you have painted
him, why In thunder don't you, as a
self-respecting young man, get out Of
his employ?"
Never In my life have l seen more
embarrassed man. He did everything
to avoid meeting my eye and finished
by trying to explain that in his ex-
element he had possibly exaggerated
the shortcomings of his employer.
This little experience made an in
delible impression on my mind and
can but half emphasize how low-down
mean 1t is for an employee to try and
knock the boss. Don't do it; for to the
mind of any sensible man, your roasts
will only he reflected, and you your
self will be scalded good and hot
Every time you try to give your boss
black eye, you give yourself bloody
nose.

THE MESSAGE.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Without receding from his former po-
sition In regard to strict control of in
terstate corporations the president
shows more consideration of their
rights than In any present previous
message he has sent congress since
ne entered the White House. More
than ever before he recognizes that the
corporations have right to the pro-
lection of the law. Few presidents
would have had strength Of conviction
sufficient TO send such a letter to Con-
gress almost on the eve OF nationa.
campaign. No one can read this mes
sage without feeling that the head o.
the nation has the heart Of common
man and the courage OF a brave one.
