The literature Of the reincarnation cult

phrase, the inequalities of life" which in
equalities, considered from the viewpoint Of
the whole, are among the choicest blessings.
The reverse of inequality is sameness or dead
ly monotony. A forest of trees the same in

Beverly, Mass.-Senator Crane OF

tnin circles OF the Republican party.
Is coming to Beverly Tuesday to
make a personal report to the Presi-
dent regarding his recent mission.
The doubt as to how far President
TAFT Is behind the moves that have
been made by Senator Crane and
some OF his associates still exists,
The President has been reading with
interest the reports OF the various
moves as they have been made. but
has made no public comment upon
any phase OF the situation. There Is
every likelihood that this silence will
continue.
1t is known. however. that Mr..

busy with an accumulation OF favor

lager OF New Jersey Both Mr.. Sher-
man and Mr.. Loudenslager are known
as the warm friends and supporters OF
Speaker Cannon.
These two gentlemen are coming
ostensibly to talk over the plans for
the congressional campaign. Mr.. Lou.
denslager is In charge Of the New York
headquarters Of the Republican con-
gressional committee. Representative
Mckinley Of Illinois. chairman OF the
congressional committee. Is also ex.
pected at Beverly this week. He also
Is friend OF the speaker but he re-
marked rather significantly few days
ago that he did not know that Mr.. Can.
non would again be n candidate for the
speakership. In this connection it can
be stated that In their move to block
any Of Mr.. Cannon's aspirations the
sew element In administration circles
will not consult the speaker or his
friends. They feel that 1t will take
very little more handwriting on the
wall to show the Cannon adherents
that there is going to be a change.
One Of the main objects OF the pro.
posed new order OF things. 1t can be
stated. Is to bring the administration
more In touch with the West. This
probably is due to the important posi-
ton that Secretary Norton has as
sumed in the affairs OF the administra-
ton. Mr.. Norton is from Chicago and

views OF the people who live In that
