Searching for the Soul.

A Philadelphia society is search
ing for the soul. That is, it is en-
gagged in research work, hoping to
locate the thing we call the soul
just as one might search through
the physical body for a nail that
has been shot into the system.
One fellow claims that while sit
tign by the side of a dying pei son
he actually saw the soul depart. 1t
was such a fleeting glance he got
that he could not describe it,
but he is certain that it was a real
object, and that it made an impress
sion upon the retina of the eye.
Mind you, these people are not
searching for the seat of the soul.
That is an old quest. Years and
years ago it was located in the lit
tie membrane-like tuber that
grows between the lobes Of the
BRAIN low down toward the base of
the skull. Others claim to have
located the headquarters of the soul
in certain convolutions of the BARN.
land still others have held that it
occupies exactly the same space as
does the body. But these philadel-
phia people want to find it and pho
tograph it and weigh it. They ex-
pect to find it just as one would
expect to find a lump of gold hid
den in the earth. Peace be with
them; may they have their reward.
The soul has caused lot of peo-
pie good deal Of unnecessary wor-
ry. Where it is, what it is, why it
It is, seems to disturb a lot of folks.
otherwise industrious people have
lost lot of time figuring upon the
soul, whereas the soul would have
taken care of itself had they gone

A Reason for Being a Socialist.

Capitalism can evade any regu-
lations and break over any restrie-
tlons, but let us assume that we
can make laws that will regulate
the great industries now owned and
controlled by the great miiiion-
aires called captains Of industry.
Let US suppose that we can agree
upon the right per cent Of profit
They may make upon their actual
Investment. eliminating ali the 1e-
titious capital Then where would
you find yourself? The actual cap
ital IS an unthinkable large sum.
Let us assume that six per cent in
serest be allowed: that would now

and families many millions a year

or dividends. u would be more
than they could spend on theld

workers Of the world are being de-
ceived by those who hold out to
them the hope that they can con-
troll and regulate business by law.
On the other hand, it has always
been and always will be that pri-
vate business will control and reg
ulate whatever government it is
permitted to exist in. They are
simply fooling us and perpetuating
our misery. None of us really live.
We are merely existing-much as
animals exist. We cannot develop
the best that is in us under the
restrictions of private ownership of
our jobs and the private ownership
of our government.

Theca of John Walsh, who died
few days after his release from
the penitentiary on parole presents
pathetic features, but it does not
warrant the denunciation which
his friends continue to heap upon
the heads of President Taft and
Attorney General Wickersham be-
cause they did not release him I'M
til it became apparent that his days
were rapidly approaching their
close. Walsh's offense consisted in
Withdrawing money from the three
banks he controlled and applying il
10 his own use. When the panic
of 1907 came he could not replace
what he had taken and the banks
failed. For this he was indicted
and sent to the penitentiary. One
of the saddest features connected
with the case was his age, which
was 70 years. 1t was but natural
that one who had reached the limit
of three score and ten should sink
under the confinement of the prison
and the modification consequent
upon his downfall And it is true.
as claimed by his friends, that the
sale of his property protected the
depositors in ms banks from loss.
But that did not detract from his
guilt, nor did it eliminate the fact
that he was properly tried, convict
ed and sentenced to prison. He had
deliberately violated the law. and
was no more entitled to immunity
from the penalties of violation than
if he had been a man of fewer
years and occupied less import
ant position in the business and
social world. The president and
attorney general, in thoroughly
satisfying themselves of his condi-
ton before they granted his release.
only did their duty, and should not
be censured for their delay.-Ft.

Los Angeles in securing a jury TO
try the dynamite cases, recalls a
humorist who, a number of years
ago, suggested that the state should
each year draft a number of per-
sons who should do nothing but
serve as jurymen. The qualiiica-
tipns of such men, the writer
urged, should be nothing but the
densest ignorance-they should be
locked up so as to prevent contact
with the public, newspapers should
be kept away from them and their
ears closed with cotton, so that no
tidings from the outside world
might reach them
