ARE WE NEARING A STATE OF
MENTAL TELEPATHY?

There is no electricity N the wire
when we speak, remarks Chamber
lain's magazine Where does the voice
&C.? Why can voice be heard all
along miles of wire strung over hills
and through valleys? From the days
of Morse to more recent times invent
ors have been cling.ng to the wires,
but now are talking through the air
and still more recently the earth has
been found to be more perfect me-
dunn. Achievements will go on until
men will talk from continent to CONT
nent, from zone to zone. All of this
is most wonderful, is it not?
Perhaps the time is coming when
one may hear his neighbors talking
without the trouble of taking down
the receiver of the telephone. That
will mean death to Mr.. and Mrs. Curl
osity and one will hardly dare say a

Sometimes on the vaudeville stage

INTERESTING GOAT HUNT

1t is announced that newspapers
and politicians have combined to drive
Burleson, Postmaster General, from
the Cabinet. 1t will be quite a
drive Mr.. Burleson, according to
the story, is to be a "sacrifcial goat"
to carry out from the Cabinet the
sins of others. Mr. Burleson will be
one of the toughest most difficult, re-
calcitrant goats that anybody ever
undertook to drive, and you may lay
to that. 4 aa
Zone goat for sin offering, to
make an atonement for you," said the
Old Testament. But Bur1eson doesn't
intend to be that lone goat" if he
can help it. Mr.. Burleson is described
by the prophet Daniel, chapter eight,
verse five: Behold, an he goat came
from the west on the face of the whole
earth and touched not the ground; and
the goat had notable horn between
his eyes"
1t will be notable goat fight be-
fore Mr.. Burleson is beaten by COM
bination.
Mr. Burleson is from Texas, which
for some mysterious reason appears
to annoy his critics. Texas is a part
Of the United States, and it would
seem that a citizen of Texas should
have as good a right to be Postmaster
General as any other.
Before the we'll advertised goat
hunt ends the hunters will probably
know more about Mr.. Burleson and
the man from Texas than they know
now.
Mr. Burleson has a good deal of
power, knows it, and is not afraid to
use it,
1t may be, as alleged, that the goat
hunters" feel very sorry indeed for
poor working people that Mr. Burle-
son has abused Some of them also
feel sorry for the pneumatic tube
crowd that did not succeed in getting
money out Of the United States gov
eminent. That may explain part of
the milk in the cocoanut. Mr.. Burle-
son seems convinced that the post
office of the United States should be
managed by the Postmaster General
Of the United States, not by private
individuals who would like to adjust
it according to their own interests.
That is another part of the difficulty.

TT ALWAYS HAS

one may sound in regard to the Euro
pean situation is that-it always has.
The world always has weathered the
storm. No matter how dark the
clouds. how binding the political light
nings. how deadly the bullet hail, the
storm has ended and humanity has
been able to crawl out at least into the
sunshine again Else-we would not
be here today.
Reading the headlines of the mo-
ment regarding Europe, one might
safely assume that chaos yawned. One
might with justice accept the convic-
ton that things had reached the ulti-
mate snarl. One might give up in des-
pair, convinced that law and order and
peace and civilization had passed from
the earth forever and that no new or
der of life was impossible. But, at the
depth of the despair that such con-
viction must beget, one may pause and
seize upon the one possible straw of
comfort-it always has.
Awful as conditions now seem to be,
-cAey are no worse than conditions have
ben time and time before. When the
civilization of Egypt was snuffed out,
when Greece fell, when the barbarians
overwhelmed Rome, when the dark
ages obliterated the light of Europe
who, then living, but thought the end
of all had come. Then, as now, it
seemed as if conditions could grow no
worse. Then, as now, it seemed as
if all the painfully acquired civiliza-
ton OF the world, the crop of ages Of
endeavor had suffered a blight from
which it could never recover. The
pinnacle of human achievement had
been reached, and the human race,
from its apex, had slipped, and
plunged down the precipice beyond
to destruction.
But always and ever, prediction vas
wrong Always and ever, the light re-
turned. The night, the dark night Of
catastrophe, ended, and the m 1rning
every seemingly final plunge, the world
righted itself and civilization rose
again. Changed perhaps, weakened in
one direction, mayhap, strengthened
in another, benefitting one class today,
crushing it another-but always, al
ways continuing the liveable world; al
ways continuing so that the human
race, little happier, little more be
set, has managed as whole, to strug
gle on and to life.
So it will prove again to be. Eu-
rope, at this writing, seems plunged
into such a birthstone lake as Dore
drew Nothing can rise from the caul-
dron, one might think, but fumes,
fumes, fumes. Eventually, however,
the crisis will pass. The human race
will crawl forth, the sun will shine,
and society will form itself anew The
world may be no better place than
now, but it will, presumably, be no
worse than it was before-Chamber
