triviality and lack of any moral value
whatever 1t would certainly show
terrible mental deterioration of those
who have gone before if these communi-
cations were genuine.
Does spiritism make people more UNI
selfish and fit them more to live in this
world? No, the facts on the whole prove
quite the reverse. In many cases it pro-
duces positive injury to body and mind
and morals. | have myself seen cases of
physical and mental disaster as the re-
suit of consulting mediums.
Does any one believe that it would be
to our benefit if we as a nation became
addicted to wizards, mediums and ouija
boards?"
'In the light of what we know as to
the physical, mental and moral results
think we may at least be gravely
doubtful as to whether spiritisrn has any
contribution to make to religion. The
evidence does not show that usually the
practice of spirituaGsm had any tendency
to bring people to a deeper sense of then
duty to God and truer faith in Jesus
Christ The evidence all points strongl!

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Rev. DIR.
William T. Manning, rector of Trinity
Church, rebels against a possibility of the
American people being given to wizards,

his adherence of christian people, trying.
to get satisfaction out of spiritism, before
an audience which packed St. Augustins

From Spiritism ~
The question for us christians is not
whether those that have gone from us
are still alive" said DR.. Manning. 1--WE
know they are
The first question for us as christians
| Is, IS it right for us to try to commune

1t is possible. for them to communicate
with us, if it is Gods will
In the Old Testament the Jews were
distinctly forbidden to try to communi

christian church has always been against
it, although there is no pronomcemen
in our own communion against it,

The next question Is Have we reall

Possibilities of error, deception an

GREENSBORO, n c., March I9-De-
mand for furniture throughout the coun-
try is OF immense proportions and it is
impossible to make the supply keep up
with the demand, according to manufac-
turers who attended the meetings of the
Nation Council Of Furniture associations
held here. There is every reason to be-
heve, these manufacturers say, that the
demand will be increasingly great in the
future. At the same time it was agreed
that the lumber shortage was the most
serious difficulty confronting furniture
makers and no material relief is in sight
at present.

LOCAL PRIMA DONNA RECEIVES
HEARTY RECEPTION AT


uEANl NCOEf HUN Al
METROPOLITAN.
Patricia Dorias, formerly of Min
neapolis and sister of Mr.. Louis l..
Swarthe (Schwartz) and DR.. Charles
R. Schwartz, gave splendid exhibit
ton of her vocal and artistic abili-
ties, when she sang the leading role
in Lucia Di Lamermoor, produced by
the Sonora Opera Co., at the Metro
politan Opera House Wednesday af-
ternoon. Besides evincing rich dra-
matic-coloratura soprano voice, fine
musicianship and intellectual under
standing, she displayed admirable tai
ent for acting. These combined with
her charming personality made the
performance exceedingly interesting
and entertaining. From the very out
set it could be seen that she possessed
virility and splendid pitch, and al
though she betrayed slight nervous
ness in the first act, it soon wore off,
and she acquitted herself in genuine
artistic fashion. The other members
of the cast, inspired by the excellent
work of Miss Dorias, rendered her
able assistance, particularly Mr.. Ig-
mace de Castillo, the conductor.
1t is a great disappointment that
Miss Dorias will not sing again before
she leaves Minneapolis with her COM
pany. The management, however, be-
ing we'll pleased with the reception it
has received, promised an early re-
turn engagement. Before continuing
it's tour the company will produce Car
men this evening, Rigoletto tomorrow
afternoon and La Somnambula tomor-
row evening.

ages from Mexico or pay that sum her.
self, it was learned. Her intention to
make this issue is known both to the
State department and to certain mem
bers of Congress.
The British claims are based upon
damages to and deterioration of oil
and other properties in Mexico, as we'll
as on the murder of William Benton
and various other British subjects dur
ing the past eight years. They will be
followed by similar claims from France
based in large part upon the spoila-
tion of certain French banks in Mexico
City and their branches in other cities
throughout Mexico.
The liability of the United States is
based by Great Britain on the alleged
fact that at the time Benton was shot
to death by Villa, she was about to
protect the lives and property of her
own nationals when President Wilson
interviewed and demanded what to all
intents and purposes was mandate
over Mexico for America.

tsMore Than 21"- That's All Min
nesota Women Haze to Tell judges

"More than Fl years" is sufficient
for women voters to tell Oct. %,
when election judges ask their age,
officials said Monday night. Women
unwilling to give their true age need
not fear to register.
City Clerk Harry N. Knott took
this position in his instructions to
judges before the June primaries,
and said last Monday that he will
ask the attorney generals office for
an opinion backing him up. At the
!, office of Attorney General Clifford
l.. Hilton, the question was consid-
cred informally and the opinion ex-
pressed Monday that Mr.. Knott is
correct. A formal opinion to that eff
feet is expected to follow this in
quiry.
The election law does not require a
disclosure of the voters age, but it
amounts to the same thing if ma
tive born voter gives exact informs-
ton as to "length of residence in the
United States" That is one of the
questions put to each voter and the
answer is supposed to be recorded
under a special column on the regis
tration book.
In some states election laws re-
quire exact age to be disclosed and
recorded. This requirement has STIR
red protests among the women IN
Indiana and Kansas, and there has
been some fear that many Mime
sofa women would be deferred from
voting for fear of being asked this
personal question. 1t was asked by
some over scrupulous election judges
in Minneapolis last June, in spite OF
the city clerks instructions. This
time the point will be made so clear
that there can be no question of a
judges duty in the matter.
Every registration under the law
applying must show answers under
appropriate column to the following
questions:
Name, residence, number, street
or avenue, place of nativity, color,
length of residence in United States
years, sate-years, months, dis
trict-years, months days; date, OF
naturalization, court or place; able to
read English; householder, boarder,
ledger, employee.
This shows three questions to be
answered involving time. The state
constitution requires that a voter
shall have lived six months in the
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1920-09-30

state and 80 days in the voting pre-
cinct or district. That is the reason
for recording the length of residence
in the state and district. But the
question, length of residence in the
Uniter States" is an awkard way OF
getting at the question whether the
voter is of legal age.
The Duluth News-Tribune has sug-
gested that the law be amended so
that the questions shall be whether
the voter is Fl, whether residence
in the state has been for six months
and in the district 80 days. The an
swer eyes" to these questions would
be sufficient. The position of tn
state legal department, however,
reaches the same result this year.
The answer more than six
months" may also be given for resi-
dence in the state of Minnesota, by
those who have been all their lives in
the state. An exact answer to this
question would be "give away" as
to age.
The next legislature also may be
asked to extend the classification on
the registration blank, which aims to
list each voter as householder" a
"boarder," a '1odger" or an Gem
ploye.' This QUESTIONABLE was made
out for male voters, obviously. The
woman who is known to tradesmen
as "the lady of the house" would
hardly care to class herself under
any of the four heads, it was pointed
out yesterday. She might be the
householder" as we'll as her hus-
band, but she certainly is not
boarder or a lodger, and not exactly
on employee.-Minneapalis Journal.

FIVE COACHES LEAVE TRACK
St. Paul Road Train Hits Broken Rail
Near Montevideo.

St. Paul Road Train Hits Broken Rail
Near Montevideo.
st. Paul-Several hundred passen-
gers were seriously shaken up, but
only four were hurt when train No. 6,
c., M. & St Paul railway, left the
track, while running at high speed,
eight miles out of Montevideo, accord
ing to information received in st. Paul.
1t was reported that the injuries of the
four persons were not serious.
The wreck, in which three Pullmans
and two day coaches were thrown
against a steep embankment, was be-
lieyed to have been caused by broken
rail. The coaches were hurled from
their trucks and embedded in the mud
slopes which had been made soft by
heavy rains. The locomotive and bag
gage cars stayed on the track.
