IS 1T A DREAMo

Will the mind of one person act
upon the mind of another person hun
dreds or thousands of miles away?
Are there unseen forces of which we
are not fully aware? That is a strange
dream as related by E. M. Pauley in
another column. Is it possible that
the mind Of his mother in her dying
hour acted upon the mind of her son
or the mind of the son upon the mind
Of the mother, when they were so far
apart? Sometimes you unexpectedly
think of a person and soon the friend
meets you or you receive a letter.
Why?
In September OF the year before the
Titanic went down William T. Stead
was in Paris and while with a group
of friends one of them suddenly be-
came entranced. Mr. Stead was told
that a very wonderful experience lay
before him. In April he went down
with the ship. Was there anything
to that so-called psychical experience?
Investigations are being made and
the only way to find out is for those
to keep records. This is
being done by a few of scientific
mind. 1t may be there are forces and
there are other senses
in man Of which he is not fully aware.
Most people believe all such cases
are little more than condolences. In
case any are made it will be interest
ing to learn of future developments in
the realm of the psychical

VIERECK'S PRO-GERMAN
POEMS

A volume of poems by George Syl-
vester Viereck, known as Songs of Ar
mageddon, was published by Mitchell
Kennerly in 1916. One of the volumes
was found in the Bridgeport Comm
public library, and a protest was
made. Other public Libraries are said
to have the book. Mr. Viereck has
been pretty we'll exploited in the news
papers, especially during the last few
weeks, when additional evidence has
been unearthed to show how he
worked in this country to further the
cause of Germany. One of the poems
in his volume is dedicated to evil
helm IT,, Prince of Peace" with this
concluding stanza:
"May thy victorious armies rout
The yellow hordes against thee
hurled.
The car, whose scepter is the kneut,
and France, the harIot of the
worlds
But thy great task will not be done
until thou vanquish utterly
The Norman sister of the Hun,
England, the serpent of the sea-"

RUNNING A GROCERY

The government is now telling the
grocers how to run their business.
The government advises that deliv-
cries be cut down to one a day; that
clerks be cut to the minimum num-
Der; that soliciting stop, and that
wasteful methods cease. An order is
said to be coming next year requiring
every grocer to show that his over
head expenses are in comparison with
his gross sales. And when a grocer's
overhead expenses run too high, that
grocer's store will close. For he is
keeping the price of groceries up.
Now, the royal American privilege
of any man to run a grocery store is
a sacred American right. But there
is more sacred American right: 1t
is that Americans in general shall buy
their groceries at the lowest fair price.
The common good absorbs the private
right.
SO, in a few years, we shall find
the federal government controlling
grocery stores, as it should. For the
fool who has a stony quarter-section
Of land to trade for a side-street gro
Gerry store can bust and leave a lot
of bad debts for the wholesale house,
and those bad debts, nationwide, pile
on to the price of groceries, and we
all have to pay those debts.
A grocer should have q training
just as a lawyer or a doctor or a
dentist or a preacher, and he shouldn't
be allowed to practice without a Ii
eense. AS the world Crews more COM
pick, private rights grcw narrower
and public rights spread oat,-Em-

TIE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

The American people are again
asked to demonstrate their allegiance
to the best government on earth and
their determination to support the
great army Of fighting men by sub
scribing to the fourth liberty loan.
With victory perched on the banners
Of the great armies drawing an iron
ring about Germany and her allies, it
should be a joy to subscribe. The
more dollars and the more men, the
sooner the conflict will end. The task
Of floating a six bnlon-doIar loan may
have some difficulties, but it is in
fnitely easier than raiding a trench
or storming 3 fort Oh the battle line,
Our soldiers 80 not hesitate when
making an attack, why should we in
buying bonds? Every man and WON
an should subscribe his or her quota
and do it cheerfully, The millions Of
men who have gone or are going
across may be considered as making
a great crusade to plant liberty higher
than ever before on the highway of
civilization, and it behooves one and
all to contribute to that mighty effort.
In the years to come there will be
great JOY and satisfaction in the
thought that united effort in buying
bonds helped bring peace back to the
world.

VICTOR BERGER A REAL
MENACE

With the cinching of the Manfatta
situation, by coalitions of Democrats
and Republicans in every risky dis.
trict SO as to make the election of
Socialist impossible, and the lessen
ing fear that any Brooklyn district
can be won by the pacifsts, il hae
seemed almost certain that the nause
Of representatives to be elected in
November would contain no Social
list. News from Wisconsin seems to
make Victor 8. Berger a menace o.
this prospect of unity on war.
Berger. as everybody knows, has
been indicted as a seditionist. BIT
he hasn't lost his hold on the Fifth
Wisconsin district, part OF Miivau
kee, where the voters of foreign
stock are most numerous. I:e has
been beaten there by coal ton. co Ii,
ton on William H. Stafford, a Replb-
lican. It is said that Staffoids coui Sc
has alienated the feeling Of Demo-
Gratis, and that there will be no coaIi,
ton this year. Stafford is harvard
college man He had served three
terms when Victor Berger whipped
him and became a member Of the
sixty-second congress. Twice since
then Stafford has won He now thinks
he can win without Democratic aid.
Nevertheless, the Berger men ale con
fdent.
Quickness at epigram, some logical
keenness and some self-acquired edu-
cation make Berger a man who could
do as much damage in congress as any
Of his ilk. Loyal citizens of MilwaL-
kee should see that he is kept oaG,
even if they have to vote for a candi-
date who is not popular either in his
home or in Observation-Disclosures

NOT TO BE CONDONED

The painting OF minister's buggy
and the rear of church with yellow,
while a service flag was being dedicat-
ed at Lime Ridge, should not be looked
upon lightly by anyone. Those con-
nected with the church were perform
ing loyal service and should enjoy
every respect. That the guilty one
was brought to court is to the credit
OF those who believe in right and
justice. Casting reflections upon
those who are loyal, although they
may have or their ancestors may have
come from land not friendly to the
United States, is not to be condoned.
Those who desire to- exercise the priv
ilege Of spreading yellow possibly
might be excused if those who do not
buy bonds, providing they have the
cash, were attacked, but all such acts
should be performed with due deliber-
alton and after full investigation. It
is hoped the incident at Lime Ridge
will not be repeated under the condi-
tons as they existed.

Pennsylvania, Under
Federal Operation,
Loses i'm Earnings
Report of System for January
Shows a Large
Deficit

Under the first month Of government
operation the Pennsylvania Railroad
system sustained abnormally heavy
decreases in earnings, with deficit Of
S5,940,847 after expenses, according to
the January statement, issued yester.
day. The report was the hlst that anv
railroad has made since the govern
ment took over control of the transpor-
tation lines at the beginning of the
year
Total operating revenues Of The lines
east and west of Pittsburgh in Janu-
airy aggregated $3l ,122.317. decrease
of S4,328,797 compared with the cor
responding month of 1917 Total on
Grating expenses were $37.0G31G5. an
increase Of $G.744,518. This left a
deficit of $3.50, SAT, compared with op
Grating income of $5,132 ,469 in Janu-
ary, 1917. On the lines cast Of Pitts
bureh the deficit was $3.l68,9 $40; on the
lines west, $2,771 ,907.
For the twelve months period ended
January 81 the per cent Of return on
the property investment of the Penn
sylvania system was 3.8l, compared
with per cent a year ago, 545 per
cent in 1916, 3.84 per cent in 1915 and
4.28 per cent in 1914.
While nothing is said in the report
to explain the heavy increase in on
crating expenses and the large falling
off IN gross revenues. it is understood
these were due to the railroad con
gcstion and severe weather in January
and also the continued rise in the
costs Of labor and materials.
