PSYCHIC MATTERS
LIKE MOVING COGS

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
A newly appointed brakeman had just
entered on his duties in connection
with a steam railroad running through
a rural district. A rather steep hill was
crossed each day by the train, and II
the steam pressure in the boiler was
lower than usual. the engineer found
It difficult to bring the train over the
hill. One day the train moved with
greater difficulty than usual; a glance
at the steam-gauge showed sufficient
steam I'm the boiler, and the engineer
was at a loss to account for the slow
and difficult movement of his train. At
last the top of the hill was reached,
and thrusting his head out of the win
dow, he called to the brakeman, well,
lad, we had a hard time crossing over
today" Indeed we did, sir; and had
IL not been that l put on the brakes,
we should have gone back for sure"
was the reply which came to the ears
OF the astonished engineer.
Mr.. Coburn's proof for conscious
ness in death is as much to the point
as was the act of the brakeman. He
certainly has followed a will-o'-the- wisp,
and is fioundering in the bog of absurd
fly and nonsense. 1 only wish he would
present something to the point; but
how can he, when there is not a text

Holy writ, plain. positive, conclusive.
They can be multiplied mary times
over. Gibier says: "Phychical matters
may be compared to set of powerful

Is drawn in" The illustration Ii an
apt one, and Mr.. Coburn's last letter
gives evidence that he is In the grip OF

have their source in an altogether diff

STRONGLY ENDORSES
THE WHIPPING POST
To the Editor Of THE TIMES.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Permit me to make q suggestion ir
favor of the whipping post. think II
is very good thing. Some men get
married and think their wives have to
be their slaves. God made the women
, In his likeness as well as the men. He
said. all men, meaning women as we'll
are equal.

Judge that proposed the whipping post
If there were more men in the world
like him, think 1t would be a better
world.
There are a good many towards IL
the world and any man who advocates
the use of an oak shingle or any other
article to beat woman, the mother
OF the race, is more than q coward.
As long as G. 8. p. does not advocate
the whipping post it gives me the i'm
preston that he is a wife beater him

be the first one to get an inrrc

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
Since our National Government has
grown to such huge proportions and our
national possessions extend "far beyond

our national domain and newly acquired

Will Pocahontas have water
works? That remains to be seen
Pocahontas has the reputation OF
getting whatever she goes after, so
If she goes after water works, be-
heve us, she will get them. There
is no use putting up any argument
about how badly we need protection
in case of fire. Every man, woman
and child in Pocahontas knows from
sad experience and observation that
no town in Arkansas stands IN
greater need of fire protection than
does Pocahontas. The question Is,
can we get a system of water works
and how? The formation Of an
Improvement district and the issu-
anoe of bonds for this purpose is
the best and easiest way, and along
I his line a competent authority will
prepare an article for publication in
this paper next week. Other law.
yers or any other citizen may feel
free to express his views on this
subject, and we will be pleased to
give space to all who wish to be
heard. In the meantime the com
mittee appointed Tuesday to ascer
tain the cost of INSTALL ing a system
suitable for the needs of the town
are busy and will have report
ready within the next few days. So
while we are waiting let's talk for
water works.

Editing a newspaper in some re-
spects is a good deal like preaching.
The gospel truth must be presented
in the form of generahties, or some
fellow will get hit and howl, says a
recent writer. Few persons like
the truth, even IN homeopathic
doses, if it hits them, But while
preachers and editors are criticised
for what they do say, no one
thinks of giving them credit for
what they do not say. Yet what
they keep to themselves constitutes
the major portion Of what they
know about people. Very many
people harbor the belief that news
papers are eager to publish deroga-
tory things. It's a mistake. There
isn't newspaper that could not
spring sensation in the commun-
ity at any time by merely telling
what 1t knows.

A friend of ours asked us to an
