SAYS EARTH CAN SUPPORT
ALL WHO COME INTO 1T

EAGLE ROCK, Nov. 26.-[Editor
Heraldl: According to Elizabeth Quig-
ley there is an oversupply OF human
beings; machinery has caused so many
idle men, and the remedy suggested is
race suicide, or words to that effect
We are told we must not blame the
machine, the politician nor the capital
ist, but we must just get off the EARTH
or, rather, not come onto the earth,
which amounts to the same thing in
effect. Now, the fact is, we don't
eat machinery; neither do we wear 1t,
and / believe it will not be disputed
that the earth is capable of producing
plenty of food and clothing for several
times it's present population. Social
lists do not blame the labor-saving
machinery: they welcome 1T. They do
not blame the capitalist; he is but the
product of a system; they do not
blame the politician, he is only a tool;
but they do blame the system-the
private ownership by the few or the
natural resources and means OF pro
duction whereby the many must 1--we.
1t gives the few too much power over
the many, and this power is used 10
still further enslave and exploit tne
masses. When the natural resources
and means of production are collec-
lively owned and operated Tor the
benefit of all, labor-saving machinery
will be a blessing; there will be neltner
millionaires nor paupers, ana many OF
the evils that Elizabeth Quigley ana
do not like to see will disappear.

A century ago the discoverer of the

the phonograph operates might have
been burned as a witch. What is d

earth? Nature guards her secrets with
jealous care, disclosing them only to
her careful students. Who can say
what undiscovered forces she has
locked in her great laboratory?
The writer has a personal friend
who, with a certain two of the opposite

small stand and cause it to tip with

would like to ask It. j. or anyone
else who shares his views few ques-
tions:
What has one to gain here on earth
or in a hereafter by believing in
spiritualism?
Has any spirit ever given through
any medium an intelligent account of
the doings i'm the spirit world; how
they exist, what they 40, wileIe u9
they go, do they converse, do good and
bad spirits mingle; in short, made such
a. statement as a rational human being
would make to a friend or relative
on existing conditions in new country
here on earth which he had gone to?
Was q spirit ever known to state the
correct number of coins or bits of
paper deposited in hat and placed in
nlain sight of a seance, provided the
medium had no previous knowledge OF
the number?
Have the spirits Of any of the great
statesmen like Lincoln, Blaine or Car
field ever sent any communications,
and if so of what nature?
Has any spirit ever declared they
could foretell coming events on this
earth, and If so We're any warnings

ALCOHOLIC INSANITY

MAN accused of shooting another
says he is absolutely unconscious
IA of having committed any crime,
His mind was a blank at the time of
the shooting This blank condition of
his mind had been produced by over
indulgence in alcoholic liquors. Citi-
zcns who are in favor of temperance
reform of the more rigid kind find most
of their ammunition in cases like this
The weapons with which they fight in
temperance are prepared for them by
intemperance itself.
'I mixed my drinks My mind was
a blank. If / shot the man, 1 did not
know [ was doing it,
Crimes produced by mental conditions
resulting from physical conditions
caused by eating food soon would en-
gender d bitter feeling against the toxic
food. My, what a howl there would be!
Take that food out of the market!
Forbid its sale. Make it illegal Any
man who eats it becomes a maniac
and goes around killing people"
And this is at the bottom of the
more radical kind of temperance senti-
ment which from time to time sweeps
over community The murder of
Moore shows traffic in an incentive to
kill is not rhetorically, but actually,
dangerous to a community

PERTINENT QUESTIONS AS
TO USES OF SPlRlTUALlsM

MONROVIA, Dec. -[Editor. Her
add: In your issue of November 80
appeared a communication from 7. J.
of Redondo. 1 quote from it as fol-
lows And as to establish the truth
of spiritualism anyone who denies the
phenomena of modern spiritualism In
this day and age of the world is not
entitled to be called a skeptic. He is
simply ignorant, and l don't know but
it would be a hopeless task to try TO
enlighten him, but just here, before
proceeding further, l wish TO say that
anyone who goes to dabbling in the
phenomena Of spiritualism alone with
out studying the philosophy OF 1t is
treading on very dangerous ground, for,
like all good, it may be made a curse
if unwisely used"
l am fully prepared to admit the
fact that II. j. would have hopeless
task in attempting to enlighten me.
will agree with him, however, in his
admission that anyone who goes TO
"dabbling'' in the phenomena is tread
ing on dangerous ground, for the rea-
son that in my opinion, the more he
dabbles the more certain is he to be-
come well qualified as a candidate for
admission to an asylum for the insane
1t is the "dabbling" which eventually
lures him to the plunge into the study
of the philosophy of the so-called
pnenOlneud. All llldI saves iiiAii NhCH
is the fact that usually, but not al
ways, he is sane enough on every
other subject, and if so is left in peace
to hug his delusion.
1t is not difficult to understand how
one who will insist upon attempting to
solve the unknowable can finally sue
ceed in actually convincing themselves
to believe that they see, hear or feel
something supernatural. The writer
once talked with a aman, a strong
spiritualist, who believed that he at
one time died-was drowned-that his
spirit stood beside his body, gazed upon
it and then re-entered. There was no
question but that he actually believed
this. Lying in a semi-conscious state

lDEAD mans purse blood-soaked and bare,

Wound with wisp OF golden hair
A few pale flowers pressed with care;
And last, brief and loving scrawl
In childish hand-and this was all
We knew of him when we found him dead.
Yet we that saw them asked, somehow,
Were these coins all that he could saVe'
Had the pale flowers grown on babys grave'
Was the golden hair from babys brow,
And was the letter answered now
And would the tailor make a row.

GOOD WORK

A FTER a great victory honors and
n rewards are bestowed on the
n officers, but while well deserve
tributes of praise are being paid
to the leaders whose experience,
sagacity and initiative made victory
possible, it is we'll to remember "the
man behind the gun" In the victory
for good government the man behind
the gun did splendid work. He was
well represented by the faithful dill
gent, alert watchers at the polls, by
whose vigilance attempted frauds were
detected, others were prevented, and
there was a reasonable guarantee of
square dealing
The machine was hopelessly beaten
on the merits of the case, but there can
be no doubt the thoroughness of the
good government victory was aided by
the vigilance and efficiency of the
watchers at the polls and other cam
paign workers. For their excellent
services these gentlemen deserve the
hearty thanks of all good citizens.

NEW YORK, May with the an
nouncement that the value of the Metro
politan at Belmont Park. Brooklyn
Handicap at GraveseD1. and the Sub
urban AT Sheepshead Bay would be
but 5000 guaranteed to the win.
ners this year, horsemen who have stake
horses are wiling to concede that there
is little chance Of real racing about
New York during the coming season.
which will open at Belmont Park on
May 13
These big races are the barometer, as
aside from their money value. there is
a sentimental and breeding reason for
winning them. The bigger horsemen are
accused by their less fortunate brothers
Of purposely keeping down the value
this year, to make ii not worth while
for the poor owners to take a chance.
With a "Tattersau' Enclosure estab-
ished at Belmont Park, where a special
charge Of $25 for the meeting will be
made for entrance and betting on the
nod will be encouraged, the Jockey
Club is getting more and more into
the British fashion Of running race
meetings and 1t seems cenain it will be
the beginning of the end oe the poorer
horse owners, who have in the past
been attracted East by the big prices
they could get in the ring, against their
horses, and the big purses when they
won. They will stay where the Jockey
Club admittedly wants them-on the
Canadian circuit and around the bush

Three Represent Washing.
ton and Three: Baltimore
in Controlling Race.

One of the most important announce
ments yet made in connection with the
Intercity Marathon race was that given
out this morning when the athletic COM
mittee that will have charge of The
Times-News event was named.
No better gauge Of the Importance at
tached to this race by promoters could
be had than the personnel Of this COM
mittee. which includes some of the best
known officials within the bounds of the
South Atlantic Association. A A. U.
Three officials from Washington ano
three from Baltimore make up the
board. Washington's Representatives
are DR.. D. T. Wiber. ". G. Stuart. and
". c. Thacher. Baltimore's representa-
tives are Theodore Z. Straus. John p.
Baer, and Joseph T. England.
Guarantee of Success.
No better guarantee of the success of
the run could be given than the co-op-
Grafton of these men. DR.. Wiber is
chairman Of the registration committee
of the South Atlantic Association A. A.
u. and, in addition to holding that
office. is known as one of the most
capable officials in Washington W. G..
Stuart is the dean of athletic promoters
in the South. He is known in Washing
ton largely through his connection with
the Federal indoor meet He has plac-
ed these games on a standard with the
leading indoor events in this country.
and they have been the means of as
surfing Washington a position on tt Q

Few events of Importance have been
held IN Washington in recent years in
which w. G. Thacher has not been di-
ofaft fr14c tod fhrarn =

him especially valuIple in an event like

The representation from Baltimore is
equally efficient. Mr.. Straus is presi-
dent Of the South Atlantic Association
A. A U: John B. Baer is official handi-
capper, and Mr.. England is a director
of the same association. All three have
stood for clean amateur athletics since
their connection with sport; and all have
expressed their heartiest approval of

running in the South.
