Mrs. Simmons was right about

planned that Root was not present

speech.
Senator Reed asked what the re-
peal of the exemption clause had TO
do with promoting peace.
Some believe that the way to pre-
serve peace is to smooth out misun-
derstandings," replied Scott.
IF there had been a serious dispute
there might have been some reason
in circulating the speech" said Sena-
tor Reed, who wanted to know why
the Root speech had been circulated
instead Of the O'Gorman speech In
favor OF free tolls.

Prayer Chain Letters.

A country correspondent writing
to the Eureka Springs Times SAYS
This vicinity has Just been struck
bv a shower of endless chain prayer
letters. Have received three myself
and wish to say right here that the
chain was broken each time, and
ffty.four cents postage saved for
myself, and if you are good in math-
ematics you might find out what
the postage would have been now
1.-TWO weeks since if had written
the twenty-scVen letters and not
broken the chain.
Four neighbors also gDt just such
letters and each one broke the chain.
Gaskins is getting wise to such
things for one thing, and scarce of
stamps for another thing. ! enclose
clipping from the Kansas City
Star, which briefly explains our feel
ings regarding the prayer chain let
tiers, which we kindly ask reprinted
in your paper:
For the relief Of superstitious hu.
manity, this prayer chain scheme
should be traced to its originator
and his cruelty to innocence should
be given its just dues.
Anyone forwarding links to the
chain according TO directions and
dire imprecations in lieu Of failure TO
conform with request, is alder and
abettor in a profane proceeding
"A girl wrote that she copied the
letter according to orders" because
she wanted to escape the horrors
threatened if she did not do so.
This. case Of credulity is only one
of many.
"The ignorant and superstitious
are the real victims and there seems
to be enough of them to keep the
chain in motion.
Enlightened people who see in
the anethemas of the prayer spirit
widely divergent from any teaching
or impulse toward a growth in
grace, promptly consign the menace
to the waste basket or fire.
Go thou and do likewise"
