DEATH LAID TO EVIL SPIRITS
Bangalas Tribe In Africa Refuses to
Believe That Mortal Disso-
luton Is Certain.

Strange rites and ceremonies still
abound in Africa. Most of these have
their origin in superstitions instigated
by the medicine men or magicians OF
a tribe for their own betterment, while
many are adopted as customs OF q
tribe.
Foremost of the funeral "celebra-
lions" in Africa is that of a tribe
called Bangalas, near the Quango river.
Here the deceased is asked to state
the cause of his death, and is often
prosecuted before being buried.
The death Of an African in these
sections is never announced, and, only
on inquiry is anyone told of the death
of a tribe member. When the death
is generally known the relatives come
and fall into a state of excitement and
wailings, with frequent Interruptions
Of q hilarious nature. Drums and mus
zeal instruments are assembled and
the revelry is continued until after
sunrise. This ceremony occupies two
days. The body is brought out during
THESE CeTeIuouico anu ioSIChCu ~ a
sitting posture III chair and placed
at the door of his hut. The idea of the
natives is that the deceased shall share
in the festivities.
Only the mother and wife of the de-
ceased show signs of grief. After the
celebrations" the deceased is put un-
der rigid examination as to what or
who caused his death. Naturally, he
is unable to answer, and the crowd
abuses him, demanding an answer.
At last it is agreed that he was killed
the aid Of evil spirits. The
body is then taken to the cemetery.
The inhabitants do not believe that
everyone must die, that evil spirits
alone interfere with lives.

Praising American youth for It's

and rehabilitated. Also, he said, "we

{ Gu the railroad question, Governor
Cox advocated giving "a thorough
test to private ownership" under gov

being accepted.
Advocating reform of federal agen-

said, enacted against the protests o1

In its development he recommended
establishing foreign banks in trade

never been its friends"

avoided and the right road chosen.
"The leaders opposed to democracy

A graceful tribute to President
Wilson was paid by Governor Cox
when, scoring the republican plat
form for absence of "a line that
breathes emotion of pride" in the ma
tion's war achievements, he said that
while soldiers fell in the trenches Mr.
Wilson "was broken in the enormous
labor of his office"
The republican proposal for a sep
arate peace, Governor Cox declared
would be "the most disheartenine
event in civilization since the Rus
slams made their separate peace witt
Germany" Citing difficulties in the
plan, Governor Cox said that if ac-
complished "No nation in good stand

This plan would not only be {

Volstead law were not specified in
the address, but Governor Cox prom
ised emphaticaly strict law enforce
ment.
'The Constitution, he said, "is the
license and limitation given to and
placed upon the lawmaking body. The
legislative branch of government sub
jected to the rule of the majority.
The public official who fails to en-
force the law is an enemy both to the
Constitution and to the American
principle of majority rule. 1t would
seem unnecessary for any candidate
for the presidency to say that he does
not intend to violate his oath of Of
flee"
Regarding woman's suffrage, Gov
ernor Cox urged ratification of the
proposed constitutional amendment,
declaring women "are entitled to the
privilege Of voting as a matter of
right, and because they will be help
full in maintaining wholesome and pa
triotic policy"
His opposition - candidate, plat
form, leaders and congressional rec
ord-were flayed by Governor Cox in
scathing terms throughout his long
address. A Senatorial oligarchy'
led by Senators Lodge, Penrose and
Smoot, Governor Cox charged, Sc
lected Senator Harding to lead the re-
publicans and fastened Into the party
platform the creed of bitterness and
hate and the vacillating policy that
possesses it." The republican stand,
generally, was scored by the governor
as reactionary and, on the League
question, he said the party's candi-
date was bent to the irreconcilable
hostility of Senator Johnson of Cali
fornia. The republican congress, the
governor asserted, failed to pass a
constructive law or to reduce war
taxes.
Millions in campaign funds have
been gathered for "the reactionary
cause" the governor charged, deplor-
ing election of new administration
under corrupt auspices" and demand
ing publicity for 'the plain truth" re-
garding all contributions and dis
bursements. The democrats, he added
would not attempt "to compete by
dollars" He warned the country
against cunning devices backed by
unlimited prodigal expenditures to
confuse and lure"
Governor Cox said he took up the
democratic standard "a free man, un-
fettered by promises"
"We want change" he said, from
the old world of yesterday where in
ternational intrigue made people mere
pawns on the chessboard of war. We
want change from the old industrial
world where the man who toiled was
