and as long as time is the haunting superstition that those who have gone before come back invisibly to impregnate the dark or to walk the windy spaces of the earth. Down iL, his soul not one man out of mill lion refuses absolutely the belief in a spirit world It is. the foundation stone of religion, for what would God mean to us if the very thought of Him did not vibrate. with our own immortality?
 And naturally the question arises: If the spirit lives, why may it not return to it's old dwelling places That we are better off without such returns is apparent to even a casual thinker, for the heart must accept its bereavement and become recon oiled to new conditions if life is to go on, and intercourse with the lost ones would disturb the resignation and gradually growing serenity. Time lis the great softener of sorrows. This lis Gods mercy, and we fly in the face of it when we try to break down the veil of mystery and talk to those who are only in the spirit. This may be one reason why the cons of silence have not been broken by messages between the material and immaterial worlds. Or it may
 be that we have never learned the right medium of communication. It is possible that we are on the eve of
 this discovery. Electricity is the
 subtle, vital force of creation-who
 may say but that through electricity we shall one day touch hands with
 divinity! Wireless telegraph reach
 es out into the vast unknown; mo-
 body believes the weird signals re-
 gently registered at our various sta tions are the wordless cries of spir-
 it's seeking a medium of communica. tion with the old life, and yet is
 anyone definitely prepared to deny lit? Sir Oliver Lodge has set our thoughts upon new and strong lines. This, however, is gut shimmering
 mist-like possibility, something for science to conjure with and for con-
 firme dspiritualists to foster in their imaginations. But there may be an
 other apd sadder reason why there
 comes no communication from our
 lost ones:
 The dead may possibly carry no
 memory of this life beyond the
 grave.
 There is a heart-break in the thought against which we instinctive- ly cry out, for hope of reunion in the next world is the very anchor
 of our faith. But it is conceivable and easily so-that an all wise Pro-
 vidence may know that the way to eternal happiness is in forgetful- ness of the life that is left behind At first the thought stupefies us. To think that we shall meet our dear
 ones and see in their spirit eyes n, answering ray of recognition is intol
 erable, until we remember that we, too, shall have forgotten, and that all things are new to us in the Land of Beginning again.
 Sir Oliver Lodge, in his theory of spiritualism, would bitterly repudiate such an idea, for he claims to have talked with his dead son. The whole matter is but a wild guess made out of the promise of life eternal which we believe and know is beautiful certainty.

LABOR EFFICIENCY AND INEFFICIENCY

The year 1920 is far showing a slight in
crease in efficiency of labor the latter part
of 1919 although production at present is up
to the pre-war standard according to a summary
of replies from list of 169 representative manu-
facturers to a recent QUESTIONABLE sent out by the
National Association of Credit Men and quoted in
the June Monthly Labor Review.
Comparing the efficiency in March, 1920 over
December, 1919 one-third of the number of firms
reported increase in efficiency, nearly half
reported improvement and six per reported
decrease lin efficiency December 1919.
About 10 per stated that labor was as
efficient in pre-war times and six cent stated
that old labor showed much efficiency as in the
pre-war period hut that new labor was inefficient.
About 70 per cent of the 1863 companies report labor
as being less efficient than in 1913-14. AL
though 16 per cent. state that their. labor is as
efficient formerly, only three per cent. de-
clare that it has reached standard of efficiency
higher than in normal times
large numEer Of employers attribute lowered
production to labor shortage. Other important
es cited industrial unrest, high rate of labor
turnover, high reaction from the and
high of living
Among the assigned for increased effic-
iency profit sharing, bonuses, high wages indus
trial welfare work, improved methods of manage
ment, abatement of industrial unrest and the edu-
cation of employees along economic lines.

for 1919 and $3S57, 587,343 in 1912, the largest

Squaring the Circle
Cincinnati Enduirerl


Lenne surprises the world by the announceme nt
that he is engaged in the study how to reconcile
Bolshevism with capitalism. Thus far he has not
found the solution to this problem equivalent
attempt at squarng the circle But it is significant
and instructive that the necessity of capital has
dawned upon such obtuse mind that of Lenine.
No doubt experience, bought at such fearful cost
of blood and treasure, has taught him that n
try which is bent on annihiliang capital is rushed
toward speedy destruction.
But since Lenine is in a repentant mood it may
not be amiss to tell how how capital might be made
vitalizng force, spreading forward the road to
progress and prosperity and what must be avoided
to prevent the extinction of that great power for
good
The atmosphere in which capital and nations
thrive is peace order and security Such conditions
attract capital by irresistible magnetic force from
all four corners of the world. If Lenine had nsti-
tuted those conditions, Russia from the White Sea
to the Black would be blooming like rose instead
Of groveling in the most abject misery that magma
ton conceive
Bolshevism is the antithess of we-established
orderly and righteous processes of government Pros
perity and happiness can come under other than
the latter. Lenine will not be able to reconcile
anachronism with governmental principles The
incompatible.
