may be?
There is no method of direct knowledge of
course or the unknown would soon be as familiar
ly known as our door-yards. But there Is an in
direct method by which we may make some faint,
rude euesses of the nature of the Subconscious
and of the Mystery.
For a long time astronomers were nonplussed
bv peculiar actions of Uranus. This planet
seemed to set at variance many Of the scientists
most certain laws because of it's peculiar motions.
At last in 1885, Mrs. Somerville published a little
book in which she said, Possibly it (Uranus)
may be subject to disturbances from some I'M
known planet beyond the present boundaries of
our system" *
Acting on the hint, j. C. Adams, an English
astronomer, gathered together all available facts
about the strange behavior of Uranus and finally
calculated there must indeed be another planet,
even as Mrs. Somervile had suggested, and
went so far as to compute it's size and discover
it's location.
In 1876, two astronomers, one English and
one German, found that planet in almost the very
point in space that Adams had predicted and thus
added one more member of the suns big family.
That planet named Neptune.
These scientists described object which
they had never seen by careful study of it's in
fuence on objects which they had seen. Why
cannot the same method be used in learning
somewhat about those realities which lie outside
the boundaries of our knowledge? Cannot we, by
study of the disturbances inside the field of our
Subconscousness come to know something about
those things which lie outside that field?
Maurice Maeterlinck believes and has
dedicated an unusually brilliant mind and de-
voted an unusually busy fife to study of mans
life along the verges of the unknown. Reasoning
from what he has found within the area of our
knowledge he has made bold to describe in broad
outline certain of those realities which lie in the
UNEMPLOYED spheres which lie beyond the reach
Of faculties. 1t is for this reason he is often
called "The Poet of the Subconscious"
Maeterlinck has embodies the findings of his
deep researches in a number of volumes which
must sooner or later take rank among the great
works of the world. "The Life of the Bee
"Wisdom and Destiny Treasure of the Hum
BILE" and a number of others will greatly enrich
the mind of any who reads them and will
give him a keener sense of the largeness and the
mystery of life than he has ever had before.

You-the Government

Richmond is ruled Dy the people VINO compose
it's citizenship. No outside dignitary can from
distance dictate to us the disposition of our local
affairs. WE are the city government
But since we have each his affairs to
occupy his time and since the fulfilling of polit
cal functions has become so complex as to re-
ouire professional skill, we have selected repre-
sentatives serving as our stewards to do the
actual work of administering public offices for
US Tom, Dick and Harry are incompetent to en-
force the citys health office. We have, there
fore selected DR.. Smelser to do this work of ours
as our representative. Laying out streets and
seeing that sewers are properly constructed and
placed is such work as only trained engineer can
undertake. We do this work, therefore, through
Mr.. Charles. The legal complications of our: COM
munity life are usually so entangled and so diff
cult the average citizen would be helpless to cope
with them. For this reason Mr.. Bond has been
selected to do the city's work for it.
Nevertheless, though we have engaged these
men to do this for and under our directions, we
have not laid aside iota of our own RESPONSE
bility in city affairs.
1t is to be expected, therefore, that we will
take keen interest in all policies having to do
with the welfare of our city, that we will want to
learn what are the facts concerning these poll
about their disposal.
There are acts of our delegated officials oft
entimes certain to dsplease us. Since we are the
government and responsible, as is every cor
poraton, for the action of it's representatives, We
feel perfectly justified in administering a sting
ing rebuke to our servants when they chance to
bungle or mismanage affairs But how are
we justified in making such criticisms and how
can we know what criticisms just if we have
not posted ourselves concerning the facts of the
cases with which our officials are busted?
large corporations board of directors can
not approve or dSapprove of any act of it's COM
rany manager if it is not informed regarding all
the circumstances in the connection.
How we'' The citizens of Richmond are
the directors of This big corporation; the officials
are the selected managers of its affairs. But if
do not attend the deliberative sessions of these
delegated managers and officials, how can we
know if they performing their duties not ?
At the first council meeting of the new ad-
mnstration, the council chamber filled by
those curious to see how the officials would
conport themselves. but since that time the at
tendance has dwindled almost to nothing.
This causes members Of the administration
and the counciln1en to feel that the citizens whom
they represent are indifferent to public affairs
1t may lead them even to believe the problems
with which they wrestle are unimportant.
BY staying away from council meetings, by
never being present when the board of works is
fulfilling it's duties and by otherwise neglectine
these affairs, you, fellow Richmond citizen, may

which is due to liquor A conserva-
tive estimate is 55 per cent. We do
not count here the sums spent by the
Associated Charities of Richmond be-
cause the money does not come out of
the taxes; but it Is important to keep
in mind the fact that an equivalent
sum would have to be added to the
township poor relief if it were not
furnished by voluntary contributions.
In the county charges for poverty
have included all the cost OF the coun-
ty poor farm, because in prohibition
states many counties, and In some
majority, have no poor asylums. Our
county farm last year had forty-seven
inmates, of whom thirteen were from
Richmond; and no doubt Richmond
whisky played its part in the poverty
Of the remainder. If we had no sa-
looms in Wayne county the few poor
left might be cared for In private in
situations or in state institutions, just
as we now care for our orphans. 1t
seems just, therefore, to charge to
the saloons their full IS per cent of
the 45 per cent which the city pays

In the Dark

The Mexican crisis grows more critical.
Something may let loose at any moment, some
thing that will upset the whole western hemis-
phere.
But whether there is an explosion not, the
United States is in predicament, predicament
so trying as to suggest it of this President
Wilson was thinking when he spoke in his recent
congressional message of "decate' matters now
pending.
We refused to recognize Huerta for reasons
which satisfied the President, but did not satisfy
the country. We could not recognize Carranza
for perfectly obvious reasons and Villa is alto
gether outside the pale of our international rela-
tonships. Having recognized nobody as head
of the Mexican government, we have nobody on
Iwhose shoulders to place the responsibility for
present conditions or actions.
Because of these peculiar complications and
the gravity of the present situation, Villas exc
cution of the British subject, Benton, and the
murder of Vergara by Mexican soldiers have
brought us to the brink of volcano.
In the eyes of foreign powers we are expected
to conserve in this crisis the interests of civiliza
1tion. Those powers look to the United States
government to handle the Mexican situation But
how handle it. BY enforcing peace? In
what way? Through whom? By whom? Shall
we intervene? Shall we send armed forces into
Mexican territory? All are agreed that would be
an act of national folly.
1t has been with the utmost difficulty that
the American public has been able to lay hold of
verified facts concerning Mexican affairs. The
state department, for what reasons it is difficult
to imagine, has persistently kept all documents
and communications strictly private Even from
congressional committees, these matters have
been withheld.
But the situation has become so acute the
tension has grown intolerable, Congress is now
demanding that it be informed more definitely
about the Mexican difficulties This is right and
just. 1t is right and just that the people of the
country be not kept in ignorance of these facts
on which the whole matter swings. Some of
them, of course, diplomatic secrets and can
not be divuged, but most Of them belong of right
to the public. When nation is in imminent
danger of war, it's people cannot consent to re-
main in the dark.
