covenant. It is. described as regional
agreement" 1t is Of vital Importance to
declare in advance our purpose not to
submit to the league any questions aris~
ing under the Doctrine and to continue to
apply it without regard to any possible
restrictions contained in the covenant.
V. The dominion, colonial and depend
ency representation which the covenant
permits has caused great perplexity. Do
the doninions, colonies and dependencies
function in the league as nations or non
nations-or as something between the
two? There is the widest emergency Of
opinion. President Wilson has said that
dominions, colonies, dependencies and the
mother country form diplomatic unit !"
Senator Thomas argued the other day
that they were all separate and indie
pendent nations. A reservation setting
forth the view of the United States is
highly desirable as a means of avoiding
misunderstanding and trouble.
If we are going to insist on clarifica-
tions on these five points the main ques-
ton is not whether the reservations are
mild or pungent in tone, but whether
they are unambguous and adequate
The super-state having been dropped
as workable model, it devolves on the
Senate to root out Of the covenant all
its holdover supor-state implications.

81 am deeply sorry for all said. My
words were uttered in the strain of great
mental excitement, and upon reflection

What this excitable Assistant District
Attorney pleads guilty to having said to
an nfammable East Side audience about
the Federal Court was this:
What ought to be done is what was
done in the days of Charles II. The
moose. The moose! In those days they
hung judges. If that cannot be accom-
plished at this moment impeachment is
the next step, and Congress should i'm
peach him.
Judge Mayer took his apology under
consideration and reserved decision.
Whatever the court may think fit to do,
there is only one thing for District At
torney Swami to do. That is to dismiss
Mr.. Markewich, as, of course, he will.

Sir: You seem to be much concerned over

and 80 are many others. Now tha. you have
opened your columns to the subject, why do
you think that every man who knows of
deceit and fraud in public business should
keep silent about it?
The trouble with most of our editorial
writers is one Of simple obsesson. They
forget how Indifferent readers of their papers
arc as to what is written by them. and hence
when some real issue comes up they find out
that their illumination has only 1.-TWO

The Invisible Plane

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In your issue of September 5 you
published a part of an article by Jerome
h. Jerome which appeared in Common
Sense" under above title Mr. Jerome tries
to show on the strength Of some expert
ences Of his and some statements by
Sir Conan Doyle, which by themselves do
not seem to prove anything, that there is
no reasonable ground for the ever increas-
ing belief of communication with the in
habitants of the invisible plane
There is no doubt that the World War
has created such longing for knowledge
of what becomes of our spirit after death
has released it from the physical body, that
no information should be considered too
trivial which might assuage, if ever so lit
tie, the heartache of the many bereft DR.
Albert Durrant Watson. Of Toronto, Canada,
has just issued very interesting book on
that subject, under the title, 'The Twenti-
eth Plane" published by George W. Jacobs
Co., Of Philadelphia, which gives some
revelations about spirit communications with
out attempting any explanations He con-
siders his own standing and reputation in
the scientific world sufficient proof of the
truth OF MS statements.
When a mans thoughts have constantly
dwelled on the physical plane it is not
surprising that the assertion of posi-
bility of communication with the spirit of
those who have departed from the earth
life should be viewed with more or less
doubt. Every new discovery Of any i'm
portance has had its honest doubters
While we have to accept the facts in regard
to some new discoveries on the statement of
others, because we are not able to prove
same to our satisfaction, nv own
experiences during the last twenty wears
have taught me that each and every one of
us, by careful study and earnest investiea-
ton, can satisfy himself or herself that
death means only the transition of the
body-the physical or material body-and
that the spiritual body continues on and is
able to communicate with friends on this
plane In ways which must convince the
most pronounced skeptic 7 consider our
physical body merely the medium by which
our spiritual self gives expression of itself
while on this plane. The spiritual self is
always in touch with spirit entities, which
are near, but the occupation of our mind
through our physical senses prevents us
from receiving spirit communications. ex-
cept at rare intervals, when we dispose Of
them with the remark, "An idea struck me-"
or some similar expression. When we con-
slider that many times these sudden ideas
concern something entirely foreign to our
thoughts, it seems reasonable to assume
that those ideas are not productions of our
own mind
think the Investigations caused by the
terrible loss of life" in the World War
will eventually produce proof of such char
acter that communication with the in
habitants OF the invisible plane will be ac-
cepted undeniable
