RENDERING, NOT HELPING.

There are those who have professed to see the error that is involved in the vicious spiral-the fight for in creased wages only to find that such increases simply add to the costs of living. It is case of one following the other and the higher the demands are placed the higher it can be ex- pected that the expenses will be boosted. It is a case where income is increased only to increase the outgo and therefore no advantage gained
 But while some have recognized that the following of one demand for increased wages by another within a short period doesn't mean the solu- tion of the present day problem, there are others who do not. This is man. ifested by the notifications which are being made to employers throughout the country that after certain dates the rate of wages will have to be ad- vanced to one dollar an hour, or those who are getting a dollar an hour will have to be paid s1.25.
 When the country is already cur tailing in expenditures for the sake of getting by with as small living costs as possible, when business is feeling this uncertainty and building activities are being retarded because of the outlays that are required un- der present conditions, it is hard tc understand how it can be expected by those who are demanding or about tr demand higher wages that they 1T, going to be provided with sufficien work in view of the mounting costs
 Conditions have been bad enough in the past without making then worse. That living costs have no suffered any great cut is perfectly evident, but it is equally evident tha they have not undergone a 9 pel cent. increase since those who ar' demanding that raise were previousl, advanced and just such demands i granted are simply going to caus greater unrest and keep the situation unsatisfactory so much longer.

JUMPING Ar coNcLUsloNs.

It is an interesting bit of gossip that is travelling about as the real. underground reason for the dismiss sal of Secretary Lansing. It is to the effect that it was a rebuke to the letter of Viscount Grey in which it was declared that Europe would not oppose the reservations proposed by the United States to the treaty, slpce an attache of the British le- gation under the predecessor of Wis count Grey had displeased the presi dent greatly by the statements he had indulged in at Washington ban quets. This attache had gone back tes England with Lord Reading but he returned with viscount Grey, who the report has it, took his name from the list of legation officials although re continued to reside there. His re- turn to England lad been called for but was not insisted upon inasmuch as he was going to return with the Tiscount anyway.
 That is the reason advanced for the failure of President Wilson to re- cetye Viscount Grey, and Lansing is made to figure in the case by such impressions as he may have given the British amba ssador during his stay in the country. The inference to be gained is that he nisrepresented the president and indirectly was respon- Eible for the favorable statement abroad concerning reservations.
 Such of course makes q fascinating

IHE MICHIGAN cAsE.

! Just how much the open revolt in Michigan 10 the enforcement of the Arohibitfon law will amount to is un- certain but only one solution can be Anticipa ted. It must be expected to obey the law in that state as well as anywhere else. regardless of how dis tasteful it may be- until the time comes when notifications are deem cd advisable.
 : There are communities of course sEhere the law is being violated and shere are others where the people are still as strongly opposed to prohibit zton as they ever were but prohibit 7ion has been put into operation and q remains for those charged with the Carrying out of the provisions of en- forcement to live up to their respon- abilities. That is apparently what they were doing in the northern part Of Michigan. and the real surprising fact in connection with the reported trouble is that those who were up- Holding the federal law were inter Iupted by the representative of the
 zw in the state of Michigan, and in this connection it is Soteworthy that the state authorities were alert to ke enforcement of the law regard Ing the transportation of liquor even though it was in the custody of a federal officer who was protecting the Seizure, but they had rot stirred themselves 10 locate the illegally baade beverage and arrest the guilty. :. Whether it proves to be a case Where there is friction between the different authorities, as has so often developed between state and local police, will show in time, but if it is shown to be deliberate attempt to prevent the enforcement of the pro- hibition law those Michigan officials stand in a much worse light than those who had broken the law for they have obstructed the govern eaent's agent in the enforcement of a federal law. However much they may consider the law unjust, they make a serious mistake in fighting il in any such way. and if they are not prepared to uphold the law they should get out.

 "WoRTHLEssH VESSELS.

After many thousands of dollars have been spent salvaging vessels that have rested in the sands for years, which was only the beginning Of expense in order to make them fit for carriers and thus help supply tn demand for ships, there can be no surprise over the fact that nearly seven million dollars were bid for vessels in the hands of the govern ment which had been inventoried as worthless. The real surprise in such Q case, and especially so since the added claim is made that they should bring ten million. is that there should be any such valuation placed upon vessels, for even though they might be worthless for use as ships there is a certain amount of junk value which, in these days and times is not to be disregarded.
 The reason for putting the ships into the inventory as worthless was that five per cent. of their value had heen written off each year for depre- ciation and that such had been done for a period of 20 years so that de- weciation had wiped out the value ot the vessels. That may have been ont bookkeeping method of looking at the matter but it was evident from the bid received that there were others who were anxious to get hold of just such worthless" buttons. and in con trast to the amount for which they were carried were ready to pay vel for them. There may be instances when depreciation cau he allowed ir that way and certain machinery he cast aside after the 20 year period but it is not method that is follow ed regarding manufacturing estab. lishments or even steamships during these days. Depreciation of course cannot be disregarded but the par that replacements and maintenanc, play cannot be entirely disregarded The government inventory on thos, vessels was too much like the atti- tude taken in making some war con. tracts.

DETERMINING INcAPAcITY.

Since the illness of President Will son added attention has been given to the situation surrounding a chief executive who is incapaeitated. It is not the first time that the question of determining when S president is unable to administer his duties has arisen. but never before has the pe- riod been so long.
 The one upon whom the decision rests at the present time is apparent ly the vice president for under the law no tne can assume to establish the fact of disability except the off cer of the administration next in sue cession. It is apparently case where fe is Tes obligated to act, a situation where he can act if he so desires and cond lions warrant. It is 8 matter in which a vice president might naturally be expected to hesi- tate lest he be considered as trying to gain increased honors for himself. Yet it is perfectly evident that it is a situation which ought to be prop erly safeguarded for with an inca pacitated president, vice president who doesn't want to appear pre- sumptuous and cabinet leader forced to resigned because he sought to protect the national welfare by what is considered harmless and jus tified action the method of procedure under such circumstances should be definitely set forth.
 Even as it was discussed following the shooting of Garfield, it is timely that resolution should be presented in congress with the view to the re- placing of uncertainty with certainty It is Congressman Fess' idea that there -'~.-'7 be constitutional amendment providing that the su- preme court should decide whether 8 president is incapacitated, after the question has been submitted to it by concurrent vote of both houses of l congress. The situation that has arisen has been unusual but inas- much as it has happened, inasmuch as the vice president has not acted even though such move seems to have been fully justified. the time is ripe to guard against such a contin- gency in the future.

fact that impersonation of the dead by deceiving spirits is a well-known, ire quent and admitted phenomenon in connection with spirit manifestations. There are instances on record in which these cunning and crafty beings have maintained the deception for months and even years; but have finally been compelled to admit and confess the deception."
 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in his book, The New Revelation" admits that he received his first inspiration from Judge Edmonds, who was a leading Spiritist. and travelled from one end of the country to another to defend Spirltism, and yet that same Judge Edmonds, in his writings on Spirit ism says of these deceiving de- monds:
 "One day, while I was at West Rox- bury, there came to me through Laura as the medium, the spirit of one with whom I. had been well acquainted, but from whom I had been separated some fifteen years. I had not seen him for several years; he was not at all in my mind at the time, and he was unknown to the medium. Yet he identified himself unmistakeably, not only by his peculiar characteristics but by referring to matters known only to him and me. I took it for granted he was dead and was surpris- ed to learn afterward that he was not He is still ing."-Spiritual Tracts No. ', page 9.

story. There is nothing to substan- tiate the claims for the fact that Lansing is through, for entirely diff ferent reasons as the presidents let ter clearly shows, doesn't support it and the fact that Viscount Grey was not received by the president fur nishes no real basis for the first or second part of the tale.
 It is true that Viscount Grey was not received by the president when he had received the King and queen of Belgium and the prince of Wales, but it is conspicuous fact never theless that while he did not permit even the brlefest call on the part of the representative of the British na- ton he took the same attitude to sother ambassadors who were waiting to present their credentials. Had he intended a slight to Grey he would have treated the others differently.
