!: Death-the black hand that smites all our
hopes, our loves, our memories, and kindly hui
man ties into the dust of forgetfuness and chaos:
What hope and relief from sorrow the old
world would feel if it knew, not hoped, that
death not only did not end all, but that mans
latter estate was more blessed than his former.
I What golden glow of hope would emblazon
the now dark chamber where world mourns
its beloved dead, if those left behind knew their
dead not only lived again but kept in spiritual

and tho he seldom reached anything in his CROP

this that may mean mankind is destined one day
Ito build path of light from this shore to the

when the dead die they are utterly vanished,
and those places that once knew them shall know

that it cannot continue. Then another gen.
GRAFTON appears, n bit less saturated with
error, and the reform advances again.
This has been the history of every form
of progress in civilization. For instance, in
Religious Tolerance, in the Labor Move
ment, in Woman's Emancipation, in Educa-
ton, in Medicine, and in every one Of the
phases of Democracy.
So also in every quarrel you have to give
the two sides time enough to wear them
selves out. 1t is not that your arguments
are defective. 1t is that their minds won't
receive them.
Supplying ideas is not the great problem
in Education, it is getting rid of IDEAS
A savage, an ignorant lout, knows Just
as much, has as many ideas and convictions
as wise and cultured person. His brain
is just as full. Only it is full of trash and
weeds.
And to educate him is not like pouring
apples into an empty bucket, but rather
like cleaning bucket of the pitch and
grease and garbage with which it is filled
The beginning of wisdom is not eagerness
to learn, it is willingness to unlearn
Every boob and Bolshevik can prove to
you he is right; but that man is truly wise
who can see he is wrong.
Humility is the foundation of the intel
lectual life.

perienCes.
Men of art, of letters, of science, become con-
WINGED that the dead do send back messages
and other men as we'll trained, of as honest and
sincere desire to know the truth, assert, after
much investigation, that it is all foolishness and
that there is no piercing of the veil.
Recently many newspapers over the country
have been publishing what purports to be the
spirit message of Mary Baker Eddy; a message
to the church she founded, giving the name of
an English psychic authority as the channel thru
which her future revelations would come.
Also along come letters from this English
scientist, Frederick L. Rawson demanding to
know whence came this news of his aposteship,
and stating that he had not been advised of it,
nor had he knowledge of the author of the letters
purporting to give the interviews with Mrs.
Eddy
Meanwhile the Christian Science church
recognizes no spiritualistic reveations indeed,
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1919-09-25

The other half of any truth is what
is already in a mans mind
= That is what Thoreau meant when he
said, ut takes two to tell the truth
And that is what Jesus meant when He
said, ITO you it is given to know, but to
them it is not given"
Furnishing proof is the smallest part Of
convincing a man. The most difficult part
consists in getting his mind into con-
dition to receive the proof.
That is why reforms go so slowly.
Truth has to Grow. Your seed may be
all right, but it will not grow if the soil is
bad
Ancient religions, full of superstitions and
absurdities, linger on, not because intelli-
gence has not exposed them, but because
peoples minds are saturated with their
error.
Fallacies in government, such as absout-
ism, class privilege and monarchy, hang on
long after they are dead, because they have
been inbred" into the mind of the race
1t takes several generations to get rid
of mental weeds and thistles.
So a reform will make a certain advance,
and then seem to stop and fail and after
a few years it will take another squirt, go
a little further and halt again, and so on.
Each advance goes forward until it meets
such an accumulation Of inherited prejudice

WAR INSURANCE BUREAU
 EXCEEDINGLY BUSY PLA(l

WASHINGTON. July IT. More than a ton of incoming mail daily, anI nearly as much outgoing mail Ina ; made it necessary for the bureau O. war risk insurance to build up poS' |. al system of it's own larger than '# maintained by any single institution except the poStofficc in the United States. An encouragement today by the bureau said an average of SO,OOO per sons write daily, irquiring about a's lotments and allowances, insurance policies. or compensation payments, O. rcmitting checks and currency as pre- miums on insurance. This also means that each letter must be answered and that makes an outgoing mail of so, 900 letters.
 Since the bureau has 13,00O cm ploycs and 36 divisions devoted to var ious phases of the bureaus work the opening reading, sorting and delivery of these letters to the proper divisions is a task requiring more than 100 cm- ployeS.
 Mail is received every half hour, and most of it is opened by machinery and tied in bundles for delivery to the first set of readers. The readers per use each letter to ascertain to whAt division it should be routed, check up to sec that the envelope contains the check or bill which the letter may say it contains, and that the return ad- dress is on the letter as well as the envelope. Thousands of letters come without return address making it diff ficult to trace them. Hundreds of on velopeS contain currency without let ter or address to identify them. Many are signed by an inadequate namc, such as "Mrs. Smith" so that identi- fication must be worked out laborious ly by clerks.
 When letters give Insufficient infor- nation upon which reply may b. based, form setting forth all tha necessary information is sent to the
