Goals to Newcastle.

The peak of folly, as they used to say, was to
carry Goals to Newcastle To make it more
American: Anthracite to Pennsylvania.
Yet this is what the civilized world now is
doing. That is just another method of increasing
the cost of living.
Not only are American ships carrying coal to
Newcastle, but they then take British coal to
steam on to continental ports. Danish butter is
being brought to New York and Canadian butter
IS going to Europe. Canadian print paper is
shipped to Europe, and European print paper is
coming to America. Argentina is now buying
wheat from Europe, having shipped all her wheat

The Lord also spake unto Joshua
saying,
Speak to the children of Israel,
saying. Appoint out for you cities
of refuge, whereof | spake unto you
by the hand OF Moses:
, That the slayer that killeth
any person unawares and unwit-

avenger of blood.
And when he that doth flee un-
tC one of those cities shall stand at
the entering of the gate of the city,
and shall declare his cause in the
ears OF the elders of that city. they
shall take him into the city unto
them. and give him a place, that
he may dwell among them.
And if tHe lvenger of blood
pursue after him. then they shall
not deliver tho slayer up into his
hand: because he smote his neigh
bour unwittingly, and hated him not
beforetime.
And he shall dwell in that city.
until he stand before the Congre-

be in those days: then shall the

PACT 'BUNGLED'
BY PRESIDENT
Meredith Nicholson Says
Wilson S Ignorance Of HUI
man Nature Was Fatal.
PARLOR POLITICS

The whole handling of the league
OF nations was bungled, as most of
the Democrats l know privately
admit
The end of a war that had shaken
the very foundations of the earth
was a fitting time to attempt the
formation of an association of the
great powers to enforce the peace
full settlement of international dis
putes.
Here was matter that spoke
powerfully to the conscience and
the Imagination. and in the chas-
tened mood of a war-wesry world
it seemed a thing possible OF
achievement.
Certainly, in so far as America
was concerned. il was a project to
be approached in such manner that
its success could in no way be
jeopsrdized by partisanship.
Opposition Anticipated.
The possibility of opposition by
Democratic Senators, the. hostility
of Republican Senators, which was
not merely partisan. but in certain
quarters tinged with bitter persona
hatred of the President, was to be
anticipated and minimized.
The Presidents two trips abroad
were a mistake, at least in that
they encouraged those of his critics
who assailed him as an autocrat
and supreme egotist stubbornly
bent upon doing the whole busi-
ness in his own way.
The nation was entitled to the
services in the peace negotiations OF
its best talent-men strongly estsb-
lished in public confidence. Mr.. Will
son paid dearly for his Inability to
recognize this. His own appearance
at Versailles conveyed a false i'm
preston of his powers, and the ef-
feet at home was to cause uneasi-
ness among many who had most
cordially supported him.
Ignorance af Human Nature.
In sending from the homebound
ship an invitation to the august For
eign Relations Committee to gather
at the White House at an hour ap-
pointed and hear the good news that
a league was in prospect the Presi-
dent once more displayed lament
able ignorance of human NATURE.
His attitude was tribe too much
like that of a parent returning from
a journey and piquing the curiosity
! of his household by message con-
veying the glad tidings that he was
bringing presents for their delight.
There are one hundred million of US,
and we are not to be managed in
this way.-Meredith Nicholson in the

South Benz, lnd.,
April l, 1920.
Editor News Times:
Dear Sir
Would you kindly allow me a
little space in the columns OF the
News Times. in regards to two ar
ticles that appeared in your morn
ing edition Of a recent date. under
the heading OF the ouija board. II
seems to me there is a lot Of talk
going on all over the country in
regards TO this subject. and think
that those who seem to be wrapped
up in getting messages through an
ouija board don't know what they
are doing.
Sir Oliver Lodge is quoted as say
ing IL is a good thing TO leave alone
unless you are OF a good sound mind.
| would like TO add TO that If you
think you are one Of the most sane
people living that will not stop evil
spirits or what the Spiritualists call
earth bound spirits, from operating
| through the ouija board. / have
| before me a statement where a
| church dignitary says that his
| church knows that spirits do come
back. but they are evil spirits, and
/ the Spiritualists know that death
does not change our individuality,
and as we die, so we are when we
enter spirit life. A liar here. a liar
/ there; a thief here, a thief when
we enter there
If this Is not true. why pray for
/ the departed, as the Catholics and
! Spiritualists do? Ct would like to
/ cite a case. which is as true as the
\ gospel OF Jesus Christi A mother
in South Bend took seriuosly i'll last
| fall. her daughters resided in an
I other city. the father sent a tele-
I gram 10 them. saying mother is very
/ ILL., come down. Those daughters,
/ Immediately on receipt Of the tele-
/ gram. consulted the ouija board and
| asked this question: is mother dead
The answer came. yes. Did she have
| DR.. So and So Of South Bend? The
answer came. no. IN both cases they
got an abominable lie: the mothe
still lives and is well and she had
the doctor the board said no to.
The late Ella Wheeler Wilcox. be
fore passing TO spirit life. said she
received messages from her husband
in spirit life. I sincerely believe
she did and through the ouija board.
But under what kind Of conditions
Not the kind the rank and file use
today. but under the same kind as
were prevalent on the Mount OF
TRANSPORTATION. when Moses and
ELIAS appeared 20 Jesus and his
disciples. when they separated them
selves from the outside world. Let
me add an instance where a spirit
daughter came and spelled out her
