The Citadel's Reformation

spotless china, and the oak-paneled
walls all around hung with Japanese
prints.
And its customers are still there
and quite happy. Around the COW
fires and little tables there seems
as much good nature as in the good
old days. They still serve liquor.
But patrons do not stand up to the
bar in the approved fashion Of yes
terday and guzzle against the clos
ing hour. They take their tank
ards Of foaming ale or their glasses
Of port to the little tables, and talk
philosophy and damn the govern

don't get drunk! And there's no

CIR OLIVER LODGE, who is
coming here this month to be-
gin a whirlwind tour of the
country In the interests Of the i'm
mortality of the soul and to tell us
OF his adventures in the realm of
psychic phenomena, is nearly sew
cnty years of age. It was Mark
Twain who, when he had arrived at
the Biblical allotted span, described
himself as seventy years young"
The great American humorist merely
emitted witticism; but Sir Oliver
can say it literally, because he be-
lieves that when he addresses here
and throws his earth-clothing into
the crucible Of that greatest of all
chemists, Old Mother Earth, his soul
Will go marching on into other di-
mansions. He will begin all over
again, prepared for new adventures,
scientific and sensuous.
If his life here on earth, as he be-
lieves, is really only the cradle
experience before his real life be-
gins, he is actually only seventy
years young. Instead of being an
old man he can look on himself as
only child, and he need not worry
an atoms worth Of gray matter
when the doctor pronounces him
"dead" -for he isn't. He can smile
back from cover there" at his death
certificate as blandly as he would at
his income tax blank for the follow
ing year or his landlords eviction
notice, if scientists and psyche
astral swamis are ever evicted.

ways bring home the bacon; but that

atmosphere Of ''highbrow" art with
which the public houses are deco
rated. Some inns have libraries
and are used as reading rooms both
in and out Of hours. In others chill
dren are given meals the same as
grown-ups; not in the same room
wherein liquor is served without
food, it is true; but they can walk
right into any Of the pubs" with or
without their parents. The board
believes that more good will come to
the "pub" from the contact than
harm to the children.
The proprietor of the Goliath,
another notorious inn of former ill
repute, assured us soleunly that the
place hadn't staged fight for a
year. Formerly it was the custom
for two, or even three, Of Carlisle's
Gangs to concentrate in the Coli
lth. and, when sufficiently drunk,
attack one another in free or-all,
md usually compulsory-for-all, COM
lat. Coal carriers and railway work
ers used to bring their brawls to the
Goliath. Now the gangs arc broken
up and the quarrels no longer
make hideous the night. Meeting
sober, the factions decided they had
really no grievance at all.

ate and Assembly were as "wet" as
their Democratic opponents, which
enabled the G. o. P. to gain control
Of the Legislature.
The point of all this is that there
is every indication that the Repub-
lican Legislature will enact into
law the Edwards bills to permit the
manufacture and sale Of liquors.
The Republicans may not do Just
that, either. They may insist that
they have part in framing
the legislation.
State Rights Again
Assuming that the proposed leg
lslation is enacted, just what will
happen in New Jersey? The Vol
stead act, designed to apply to all
parts Of the United States, pre-
scribes that any beverage contain
ing greater than one-half of / per
cent alcohol is intoxicating, and
therefore taboo under. the Eight
eenth Amendment. New Jersey, as
revealed by the preamble of the
proposed bill, already made public
by State Senator Thomas Brown,
will assert that the state, under the
amendment, has concurrent power
with the Federal government to
legislate regarding it's enforcement.

is another story. This one is about
the evolution of Sir Oliver Lodge.
Is the Oliver Joseph Lodge who
delivered a lecture, in 1877, in
London, on the deposition Of dust
and fume and fog by electricity the
same person as the Oliver Joseph
Lodge who is to-day laden with COM
munications from the dead and who
says he does not believe the soul is
immortal but he knows it is?
A Mystery Himself
Is Sir Oliver Lodge as great a
mystery himself as any he has
solved? Is he a growth or a
freak? Has the evolution of his
mind, since the days when he went
to the Newport Grammar School to
that memorable day in his life, in
1916, when he got in "communica-
ton" with his son Raymond, who
was killed in northern France, been
a consistent, normal evolution, or
is he possessed by a second, a
threshold, personality that COM
pletely absorbed and took posses
sion Of the old exact, pedantic
Lodge when the great grief of his
sons death was brought to him?
Multiple personality is one of the
most fascinating studies in the
realm of psychic phenomena. The
cellular theory has broken up all
our preconceived ideas Of unalter-
able personality. We are not one;
we are many. Each cell in us is
an embryo personality. The domi-
nant cluster is the Speaker of the
House. We call it our character"
But there are other clusters always
