Here's a Book

TO a great extent books on hypnotism,
mind control and kindred subjects are
not given Unfortunately to the public;
indeed some of the books are never put
on sale at all, and are given only TO
those in whose hands they will receive
the most respect. Perhaps the reason
for this is that will control, or rather
spirit control, an enormous power, Is
treated in it's objective sense and would
prove tremendous power for evil in
the hands of an unscrupulous person.
When mental control IL treated in its
objective sense. and its methods applied
by the pupil to himself. inward applica-
tion as 1t were. to the furtherance of his
own happiness and peace, the knowl
edge loses its power for harm, or even
possibility Of it-a man would no

An Appeal For Social Clubs in Con-
necti0n With the Churches.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Social clubs are needed for our young
men and women:
There are many young men and wom-
en- of the best character working here
in the different departments Of the Gov
eminent. They have come here from
other cities and are strangers.
Can anyone imagine the lonely life
that many of them live in their room
night after night, or sometimes walk
ing the streets without companionship.
Some have become reckless and make
the acquaintance of those they can pick
up on the streets, but often such
acquaintances do not turn out to be the
proper kind.
If a man goes to church and his face
Is passed upon favorably he is per-
haps introduced to one or two and
that's the end Of 1t.
Social clubs are needed In our
churches and out of them so the young
men and women could meet properly
and make friends. We all need COM
panionshp. We all need friends. So
cial clubs would make for a brighter
fife for our young men and women, for
better morals, for more happy mar
riages and fewer betrayed girls. Here's
hoping some one will start q club soon.

Wants to See Postal Insurance Added
to the Savings and Parcels

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Postal insurance Is the next thing we
are going to clamor for 1t took US
twenty years to get postal savings and
almost as long to ram through parcels
post, but 1 have reason to hope that
five years at most will elapse ere we
have postal insurance. But 1t 10 only
through printers ink that we can ever
secure that benefit. and that ink is par
ticularly hard to get in behalf Of any
thing brand new. When once snow
ball has been we'll started and has some
size 1t will gather snow very quickly,
but at the start-well. it's different.
The movement is a progressive one,
and we look to the progressive journals,
in the largest sense of the term, for
help. The Times is the only Progress

CONGRESS FINAL BLUNDER.

1t is scarcely possible that in closing the post.
offices in first and second class cities on Sundays
Congress fully weighed the consequences of its act
We must look this provision of the postal appro-
priation bill mere thougness attempt to coax
votes from few postoffce employees in return for
making their work little easier.
But the evil has been done and Congress has ad-
journed. Upon the Postmaster General is thrust a
burden of stretching the law to the utmost Here
is case where the public will raise no objection to
the administrative authorities interpreting law "n
the light of reason
Indeed, that must be done. The average citizen
doesn't whether he get his ordinary mail
or not on Sunday; but there is scarcely large bust
ness house, newspaper, or banking institution in any
of our cities the routine work of which is not more
less continuous and dependent for its continuity
upon the uninterrupted delivery of its mail sever
days in the week.
If the postmen and postal clerks are overworked
as is admitted relief must be obtained by increasing
the staff, not by curtailing the service.

reach total of $4,000 in all The Prohbitionists
and Socialists together are not expected to cast over
1000 ballots for their candidates. The Democrats
rolled 1880 in the 1908 State election They fell
as low as 1000 in 1902. They must poll 10000 at
least to show that they are holding anything like their

Gratis as we'll from Republicans. They are build

If the Progressives gain at the rate they have

the Republicans can hold plurality A vote Of

Democrats $500 Prohibionists, and 800 Socialists

WATCH VERMONT SEPTEMBER 3.

The prospect today that the Progressives of Yer
mont will poll $4,000 votes for the Rev. Frazer
Metzger, their candidate for governor is sign enough
of the tremendous appeal the party principles have
made to the men of the old Green Mountain State
The Republicans have dropped generally the claim
Of majority vote. 1t is recognized that no one of
the FIVE candidates for governor will have more than
plurality The choice, it is admitted will be thrown
into the Legislature under the State law requiring
a majority for popular election.
This is the first striking change in the situation
that included Vermont as one of the three States
Taft would carry. The history of national elections
has shown that when the September election showed
less than $4,000 plurality for the Republicans, the
election went against the Republican candidate.

CONGESTION OF TRAFFIC.

Shippers and consignees aid very materially
in averting a blocking the railroads this fall if
they heed the warning of traffic officials to load and
unload cars without delay that there may be no loss
of time if having them available for the movement
of the enormous volume of freight confidently ex-
pected.
So serious has the situation become that some OF
the big transportation companies have issued notice
that beginning September 1 they will allot cars on
the percentage basis This means that the distribu-
tion of will be arranged so that all shippers will
stand relatively on the same basis. This action is
resored to only in extraordinary times. There is
no question that the country is on the of ex-
periencing another era of unusual activity.
Railroads are preparing for exceptional condi,
tons, but it is question if they will be in position
to move expeditiously the rush of traffic expected
when the crops begin to move in earnest. 1t is
therefore, up the business interests of the country
to do their part in relieving situation which other
wise may became serious.
