LET REAL SELF RULE.

In this era of investigation into the
unseen realms there is much danger
Gus nonsense finding voice and gain
ing Listeners as well as many great
truths being revealed.
1t would be as sensible to let a
child play with dynamite under the
impression that it was picking flow
ers as to allow the majority of peo-
PIE who investigate the "unseen" to
remain under the belief that they deal
with high spiritual influences.
\ woman writes me that her child
possesses wonderful psychic gifts"
another tells me that she is talen;e
in this same line and that she often
writes or speaks without her own vo-
lition as these spirit influences take
possession of her.
Now, that many people do speak
and write and act under the domina-
tion of disembodied forces is a fact
but to suppose that this constitutes
"a gift" or talent" is grave error
1t invariably indicates a weakness
somewhere in the character. 1t in
dicates an Unlicensed mind, an un-
h''b NAAl anu q 4eaNh VI ulANNA4tll eAANA
purpose,
If any good housewife told you that
she often went TO sleep and left her
door open and allowed passersby in
the street to come i'm and rule her
household, you would not think her
entitled to talk about possessing "a
gift or talent" You would think
her lacking in good sense and eau
tion.
That is precisely what any human
being does who encourages trance or
other conditions which cause them
to be ruled by disembodied intelli-
gcnces or personalities.
The man who speaks or writes or
plays an instrument under control,
no matter how beautiful his work
may be under such conditions, is new
ertheless leaving his house to be run
by strangers. and he is placing him
self in their power.
1t is that divine self which we are
sent here to use to develop and
make perfect by living III accordance
with its dictates. The will and the
conscious reasoning powers are part
OF the expression of that divine self.
And how utterly absurd to talk
about possessing a great gift or tai
ent! The higher spiritual influences
never seek to render us unconscious
or to put US in a trance state any
more than our noblest and truest
friends want to have us sleep while
they visit our homes.
Only housebreakers and robbers
seek us in that manner, and disem-
bodied spirits that come to take pos
session of people in trance states are
very much of this order. They are
earthbound and undeveloped, and
they can only bring ruin to the bod
les and minds they control, while they
delay their own development.
Any man or woman who is VIC
tim of such influences should at once
say firmly: Get thee behind me.
Satan. Go about the Fathers busi-
ness and seek for higher realms. You
cannot control me from this time
henceforth."
Such a determined, positive stand
will shut the doors to those danger
Gus influences if persisted in.
Your house is given you to rule
with mind; so is your intelligence; SO
is your own individuality.
Allow no passing tramp to rule you
or your self. 1t is a sign of weakness,
not of strength.-Ella Wheeler Will

STATE WIDE PROHIBITION.

Next year an effort will be made
to carry prohibition in Oregon, says
the Oregonian. Many counties and
towns and cities will not want it.
Should it be forced as a state mea-
sure. Multnomah county would lose
a revenue of 100000 to 100000 a
year. and sale and use of liquors
would be secret, yet not less observ-
able in their consequences than now"
The Oregonian does not favor state
prohibition. Yet the Oregonian, and
other Portland papers for that mat
ter, are doing little to avert state pro-
hibition. They appear content to al
low the fight next year to become a
straight contest between the two rad
ical elements represented by the sa-
lconmen on one hand and the pro-
hibitionists on the other. If such a
contest is waged the entire state of
Oregon will probably go dry.
There is but one way to meet W
prohibition wave. That is by honest,
vigorous and thorough reformation
of the liquor business as it now ex-
lists. Three fourths the saloons of the
city of Portland should be abolished.
The remaining saloons should be al
opI- "a 4a Il
mand for liquor. They should be
devoid of all amusement features and
made open to the fullest inspection
They should not be places where men
loiter and become intoxicated. That
is making improper use of liquor and
whenever liquor is improperly used
society is injured.
Of course saloonmen and property
owners holding saloon locations would
resist a radical cleanup. They would
course. But the liquor question will
never be properly settled so long a!

welfare of liquor men and those whc
rent property to liquor men.
The East Oregonian too is avers'
t. state wide prohibition. Total stat
wide prohibition would not be desir
able in oregon for many reasons. Blu
prohibition anywhere is preferable t.
system under which saloons are rul
"wide open" and under which saloon
men dominate affairs. The East Ore
gonian has seen both situations pre-
vail in this city. It did not like tn
old time saloons for they were un
questionably a curse to the city. I
does not like prohibition because /
is impractical and because it call
for total abstinence and our people d.
not want total abstinence.
In the course Of time this pape
hopes to see the liquor bushes
handled in such way that the mora
health of society viii be fully pro
tected yet those who wish to secur
liquor to use in proper manner ma
do so without importing It and with
out breaking laws. But the Portlan
papers seem to be making no effor
to solve the problem along these lines
They appear willing to let the struggl
be waged in the old time way.

The vital issue in the mayorality
campaign does not pertain to moral
raids or anything of that character.
Mr.. Murphy's opponent was not
brought into the race because the
mayors administration has been un-
satisfactory from a. moral standpoint.
There. is but one important issue in
this campaign and Of that issue the
East Oregonian will have something
to say in due season.

eleven, though I do the very best l can.
 Race suicide talk is all right for the amusement of people who haven't anything to do but bother about other peoples troubles, but to cook and bake and sew and wash and fight ill-health and sometimes even poverty with eleven on on's hands, is not pleasure. It's work-hard work. And the hardest Is not to be able to do for the children what every mother feels she should do-dress them, edu- cate them, care for them as other peoples children are cared for. Too many children Is something more than a pretty theory. It's grief for the mothers"

St. PAUL, Minn.-This race suicide talk, Mrs. T. Mainzer says, is all bun. combe, and so far as the Roosevelt letters of commendation to parents of large families so, she has one and is ashamed of 1t. She is the mother of eleven children.
 My husband would not have writ. ten % Roosevelt if he had not had q pail of beer" Mrs. Mainzer continued. Besides, he didn't write himself; he got a friend to write for him. And Roosevelt didn't write the letter to us. He only signed 1t. I begged my husband not to write, and when the letter came l threatened to put 1t in the stove. I don't want anybody to see it don't want anybody to know the former President wrote to us. l am not proud of it."
 Mrs. Mainzer plainly showed that td raise eleven children, do all the wash. ing and ironing, cook for a husband besides. and meanwhile fight sickness and i'll health. is not all the dream of Utopian bliss the former President thinks.
 But you love all of your children, don't you?" she was asked.
