When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home, It is bound
to carry weight with our readers. So
many strange occurrences go the
rounds of the press: are published as
facts, people become skeptical. on
one subject skepticism Is rapidly dis
appearing. This Is due TO the actual
experience of our citizens, and their
public uttcrances regarding them.
The doubter must doubt no more in
the face of such evidenc as this. The
public statement OF a reputable citl-
zen living right at home, one whom
you can see every day, leaves no
ground for the skeptic to stand on.

What this country needs is more
constructive legislation so that laws
