SOME WORDS FROM THE SPIRITS
(Tac0nla Ledger)

tTacoma Ledger)
 The war has given a great impetus to stuay o. phyche phenomena, and strange taleS ol spiil'u" seances are getting into public print L.,
 A medium in St. Louis says that Mark Twain mas dictated q new book to her. and she has printed the voume If an old agnostc and infidel like Mark can be induced write book from the spnt "ol1u !, looks like slim rations for writers ol touay anu a ai future days. Most of the great writers are oeao anu if they form a union and dictate new noVels' piay > and poems what chance does present day pen pusne have? What writer would want to compete "itm Shakespeare NIilton Johnson, Ruskin, Byron and all of the other big eaguers in the writing game who nave passed into the great unknown?
 One writer in the Psych1cal Research ReVle" telis how a spirit made love to him, which shows that Wo manly instinct persists in the realm Of the alter ie He describes this love-making as follows
 q saw the vision of a woman so Deauufu that angels seemed to be smiling in her face
 She whispered, love you, and serene peace fu feeling me that no human being could explain though was dreaming or in trance ana began whispering, My beautiful love! My beautiful love
 q wondered if were in heaven or was suffering from nervous prostration and she smiled and whis' pered, I love you. love you love you as have never loved before.'
 q wondered how long this beautiful creature would be smiling in my face and she answered; TIL always love you
 And it seemed the beautiful creature was giving me peace and rest, and fell asleep.
 A. Conan Doyle the creator of Sherlock Holmes, is spirituaist. He has given to an expectant public detailed report of the other world. He says there hell. which will cheer lot of those along who have suspected much and he adds that spirits wear clothes. He reports: Spirits are clothed. as one would expect, since there is no reason why mod esty should disappear with our new forms"
 However all is not serene in the other world that man is always trying to peer into. There is poor Prof Hugo Munsterberg of Germany and Harvard still in distress of his divided allegiance. In the Journal of the American Society for Phy chical Research writer tells just how medium got in touch with Munsterberg who is reported to have told of the final defeat of Germany Spirits evident ly, can into the future as well as into the past
 This medium went into state of cataepsy after pounding the table and signing at great rate. and Munsterberg spoke through her follows: "I am heartsick over this It is hard to pay allegiance to two masters. Divided against itself house must fall So fell I and so will my native land"
 Thereupon the medium showed great stress cried out loudly, clutched her neck and then folded her hands in her lap
 It is quite a chore, it seems, to get spirit to tell just how the war is going to end.

When you are arguing with fool it is hard for listener to decide which of you is the fool. Don't argue.
 A man is always imagining he can make more money in some other town than he can in the one he is in. But experience shows him that the scramble for the Dollar is as strenuous in one town as in anoth CT.
 Funny how a man can have so much sense about other things and so little where women are con- cerned.
 What has become of the old fashioned girl who used to go into decline" when she was disap- pointed in love?
 Judging by the things we see them leading to the altar, some girls must just naturally hate to work for a living.

 A man is an awful coward He will order lot of junk with French names when he is eating at cab aret feed house just because other people do, and just because he wants to be in style.

 A woman doesn't go to Church to see other women's hats. That is 2 doggone lie. She goes to Church to show off her own hat.

MORE WHEAT FOR EUROPE

The Food Administration, according to trustworthy reports is planning send 90000000 bushels of wheat to Europe in addition to what has already been en gagged for export although the normal exporable sur plus of the country is already exhausted.
 This fact raises the possibility that by next May the country may find itself without flour It is still hoped to this result however by voluntary food control coupled with the control which the government has established grain elevators, mill and baker ies But if this fails there other measures that may be taken. There is exportabe wheat in the world which can be brought here, if the government should so decide or control may be extended to individuals and by fixing the amount that may be bought
 Anyone who is consuming wheat needlessly now with the idea that be brought from Argen tina or Australia is fighting his own country with his teeth
 It is extremely unlikely that Congress will sit by and see such exhaust the flour supply that il will permit diversion of shops from military uses for their benefit when the difficulty can be met b. a stronger legal control of consumption
 The brief conclusion of all this is that the people will have wheat familiarze themselves With something equivalent to bread cards later on

SUFFRAGE WINS

The have their battle for the sub mission of a constitutional amendment all but won President Wilson's conversion. after period of oppo sition which merged into concession that there might be opinions, has turned the tide.
 The Presidents change of heart will not detract anything from his popularity. He has changed his mind before He is not too small admit that he has been wrong, but he has seemed to work all ol his opinions for himself. He has been called stubborn and has been thought of who iso lates himself As matter of fact his theory of his duties he often expressed it, is that he is an interpreter of the peoples will and his changes of front have been attributable to changes in the mani festation of the popular will.

tieularly in New York. The Presidents judgment has also been influenced, the Judgment of the people has, by the fact that in this war for democrary the country should sweep it's own doorsteps.
 The House has sided with the President. It re mains to be seen whether the Senate will prove as amenabe to changing conditions as the President did The argument that party platforms stand in the way will have a powerful appeal upon some minds, but a broader will show that no party platform IS or was ever indefinitely binding upon party
 When the platforms were adopted this country was a peace and was determined to remain at peace Even pronounced suffragists admitted that there was merit in the position that the States should decide the question: each itself. There was no occasion for haste
 There is occasion for prompt acton now ms country will fight better and be in better position bef,ra the world when it declares itself 100 per cent democratic.
