and messages regardless Of distance
and without physical communication
or suggestion. Science has come in
large measure to acknowledge this pos

cumstances to permit no skepticism of

probably be readily determined. If he
is in fact psychic he is a proper sub
ject of study. If he has some secret

identity of the criminals he is. of
course, guilty as an accomplice, even
though he made some effort to warn

of the case he is not in an enviable po-

Science is now greatly interested in

the time Of the blast. declares that he

crime that was about to be committed:
that he had no information whatever
Of any OF the circumstances. but sim

atmospheric medium message, :"
upon the basis Of which he sent his
warning.
II Fischer's warnings had failed to
be verified in any way they would
have been regarded as merely the
vagaries of a disordered mind. unless
IL was proved that he was actually in
the confidence Of the criminals But
nothing can serve to weaken the fact

The New School Year.

| Washington schools reopen today,
with the prospect of a record attend
ance. 1t is expected that more than
60 900 pupils will report. and. as last
| year. they will find accommodations
| for not more than $4,000 Of their num-
Der. if all were given proper facilities.
While provision has been made in the
laws for more buildings, these can
not be erected in season to effect the
present school year, and so for the
next nine months the children will be
crowded. some Of them will be put
on halliday basis. and they will
not receive the full measure of in
struction and training which they re-
quire.
Particular interest attaches to the
reopening of the schools this season,
owing to the fact of a change Of ad
ly. 1t is needless now to recite the
circumstances of that change. A feel
ing, however, prevails in the COM
munity that grave injustice was done
to the former superintendent, who was
displaced despite definite demonstra-
ton Of public support and approval
of him and particularly in the face of
a recommendation of the Senate Dis
trict committee, which had exhaus-
lively inquired into the controversy
involving his relations with the board
of education.
The new superintendent has mani.
tested a keen interest in the welfare
of the schools and displayed abundant
energy in his study Of the local situa-
ton. A disposition prevails on the
part OF those who deplore the change
that has occurred to give the incun,-
bent the benefit of every assumption
of competence on his part and Of dis
position to administer the schools with
the least possible disturbance OF the
existing organization and fidelity to
the standards to which the local com.
munity has become accustomed.

The Anti-Alcohol Crusade.

The Worlds Congress Against Alco-
holism meets in Washington today.
This gathering occurs at an interest
recently adopted prohibition as ma
tion-wide policy. An amendment to
that effect has been incorporated in
the federal Constitution and law has
forcement. Opposition to that statute
has been manifested and violations are
occurring in various parts of the coun-
try. The law is under test. A presi-
dental campaign is in progress in
which, though not distinctly avowed,
the question of prohibition enforce
ment is in some measure an issue. An
effort is being made to secure the
election of members of Congress who
will seek the modification of the en-
forcement act. Advocates of prohibit
ton and of full enforcement are ac-
tive in their watchfulness to prevent
reaction. So although the question
is not noisily discussed in the cam
paign, it is. nevertheless, one Of the
important features of the contest.
Throughout the world tendency
prevails toward lessening the evils of
alcohol. This congress that meets
here today is but an expression of
steadily growing realization that the
welfare of mankind is menaced by this

most of them of absolute prohibition.
They are fortified in their attack upon
the evil by undeniable statistics at

holic stimulant. it's reduction of physi-
cal energies, it's moral and social
blight.
Never before was the anti-alcohol
crusade so well organized or so strong.
1t is planned to carry it into other
lands than this. Already in England
the beginnings have been made for
fight for prohibition. 1t has been pre-
dicted that within ten years dry"
laws will have been enacted there. In
continental Europe the prospect is less
encouraging. but organizations have
been effected in all countries.
In a sense this is an international
question. In the course Of the en-.
forcement of the eighteenth amend
ment this has been locally manifested.

Maryland and Suffrage.

The Maryland legislature meets to-
day in extra session at Annapolis. The
purpose of the session is to modify
the election laws to conform to the
provisions of the nineteenth amend
ment, which has been declared ratified
on the strength of the Tennessee VOTE
But friends of suffrage hope to bring
ratifying the amendment and so add
ing to the list Of approving states and
removing every possible doubt Of it's
validity in season for the November
election. If Maryland ratifies at this
session and Connecticut, repeating this
week it's performance of last week,
records its vote in favor there will then
be thirty-eight states on the rolls at the
State Department voicing their ap-
prevail of the enfranchisement of the
women. Whatever then may occur to
the Tennessee ratification in the
courts, and whatever view the Su-
preme Court may take of the complaint
that the ratification procedure in West
Virginia was irregular there will stand
thirty-six unchallenged votes, and the
amendment will be established beyond

contrary spirit is running now. We
are being adjured to get, and keep, a
firmer grip on what we already have,
and make ourselves as we now are a
greater influence for good than we

Crowds at the Bomb Point.

Public curiosity is always keen con-
corning the scenes and souvenirs of
tragedies. This has just been amply
manifested in New York. where the
locality Of the bomb explosion of last
Thursday has been the object of such
inquisitiveness that strong guards
have had to be thrown about the dis
trict to keep out the crowds Of sight
seers." Saturday, which was a half
holiday, saw great outpouring OF
people, and the police had difficulty in
regulating the throngs. They thought
that that about exhausted the tide.
But they were mistaken. All day yes
terday 1t continued to flow, not only
from all parts of New York. but from
the suburbs, from long distances out.
People by the tens Of thousands made
excursions to town, in automobiles
and in trains. Thousands of cars were
parked at one time in the streets of
downtown New York, which on Sunday
are usually deserted. So dense was
the crowd passing through Wall street
to witness the scene of the great crime
that the police had to form the people
into constantly moving lines passing
up and down, and to close the thor
oughfares nearby to all wheeled traf-
fic. Yet all these people saw were
some broken windows and few in
dentations in the walls of the build
ings near the explosion point. Much
work had been done meanwhile in
clearing up the debris. Everything
had been secured and many repairs
had already been made. Neverthe.
less, this multitude got a thrill by
simply walking through the lane of
death where Thursday noon one of
the most wanton. needless and dia.
bolical crimes ever committed in this
country had occurred. This tendency
to seek the spot where something hap.
pened will always prevail.
