the subject of the league Of nations
has been on the affirmative side Of
the subject. No doubt something Is
to be gained by at least partial consid-
Grafton Of the other side. That ar
ticle that is being published today
from the New York Sun is at least
calculated to impress the reader with
the idea that there are other folks
who have views. In the end the truth
will prevail, and an individual who is
afraid of the truth is somewhat of
fool.

The effect OF being confronted with
views that are exctly contrary to the
views we entertain ourselves is often
quite jarring. But nevertheless there
is considerable information to be
gained from people who think diff
ferently. If other folks are not able
to change your conception of things,
they generally leave you more con-
firmed in the correctness of those con-
ceptions. Most Of the matter that
has been printed in this section on

every individual as a potential labor
err to the extent Of his or her ability

PROVIDENCE NOT TO BLAME

tune Traced by Philosopher to
Human Qualities.

! have always been Of the opinion
that the complaints against providence

good or bad qualities Of men are the
causes Of their good or bad fortune

There are no doubt instances to the
contrary, and pretty numerous ones,
too; but few int comparison to the in

facilitates every enterprise and un-

tues. Prosperity is naturally, though

WORSHIP IN HAiTi
Strange Beliefs Which Christianity
and Civilization Have Been Un-
able to Stamp Out.

vOOdOOism, or vOOdOO, that strange
worship that comes down from the ma
tive customs Of West Africa. is still
practiced to n great extent in Haiti,
where they believe that the body has
two spirits-a good one that returns to
Africa. and a duppy, who remains in
n vicinity Of the dead. These dup
pies" are considered to be very dam
gerous and In order to drive them
away from the house where a death
has occurred, all standing water is
thrown out, and food and rum provid-
ed to propitiate the "duppy'' and per-
suade it to accompany the good spirit
on Its journey.
"Duppies" are supposed to have
solid bodies instead Of ghostly ones,
and so the doors and windows, and
even cracks in the house are stuffed
up to keep them out.
Voodooism, unfortunately, goes much
farther than this belief, and the use
OF all kinds Of charms, the worship
OF q certain sacred green snake. and
the melting and inflaming of the ne
groes to emotional heights by strange
ceremonies continues in Haiti ever
now. At the close of a voodoO meet
Ing when the audience is excited to a
wild hysteria a dance called the 'loilo-
tchi" Is performed which ends in a
wild orgy. an exchange states. In all
these wild ceremonies and dances, a
drum Is the instrument used, its rhyth.
mic throbbing tending to excite those
who hear it. Indeed, from time i'm
memorial drums have been used for
this purpose, the nerves of even the
most civilized and self-contained per-
sons responding almost Immediately
to q steady drumming.
