Unwisdom Of Hate.

TT was said as to the beginning OF the world
/ war; that the Germans excelled all others in
their knowledge of the science of psychology and
knew least of human nature. They are still run
ming true to form on this basis. They are exceed
ingy anxious to get the allied forces away from
the Rhine They insist there is no longer excuse
for the French occupation of the Ruhr Valley
But this last week 10000 German veterans
paraded in Berlin. Only shock troops were per-
mitted in the line. According TO some reports the
popuace who lined the streets cheered until the
echoes rangl there the widest enthusiasm
According to others, the great crowds looked on
coldly and many did not even uncover when the
veteran band played "Die Wacht Am Rhein,' now
kept by the allied troops, and the popuaee did not
respond to the war demonstration.
But the old leaders did There was message
from the former kaiser from his refuge OF safety
sought when he deserted his armies and took fight
from danger. He wiled, that "the halo OF the
great days OF the past be the beacon for the vic
torious illumination of the future" Ludendorf in
his address, said the will to victory must again
arise in the German people, while Won der Goltz
denounced "the traitors who declared the supreme
war lord had been deposed."
Then Count Waldersee, the principal speaker,
delivered the chief cargo of spleen. There will
come day." he said, when we will stand together
for the kaiser and the fatherland. Hatred will
stand guard in Germany. We must train our chill
dren to use the rifle and sword So long as Ger
mans suffer under foreign yoke, and the French
stand guard on the Rhine, must prepare for
revenge"
So long as their leaders indulge in this
sort Of rhetoric on such occasions and show this
spirit what can the Germans expect from the
leaders in France and Belgium? Would those
governments be doing their duty to their own peo-
pie, if they relaxed their grip the Rhine so long
as such exhibitions of militant hate and revenge

Another Idea of Soul.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
What is the soul? Many letters
by different writers have appeared
in the Open Court on the subject.
some of them very crude. The most
scholarly and erudite was by one
who signed himself Student He
told US what the learned men Of
ancient and modern times thought
about the soul and gave us some
Of His own speculations. But in
reality ended just where he began:
What is the soul?
No one learned or unlearned-
philosopher or theologian-has been
able to define the soul. That Is one
of the hidden mysteries of creation.
And yet, it is mans nature to at
tempt to solve the unsolvable. l
believe there is no Intelligent per-
son who has ever given any thought
to the subject, but what has some
sort of a conception of the soul.
The Godhead-the attributes of
God-the Bible tells US. is composed
of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
these three in one. the same in sub
stance, equal in power and glory"
These three make up the Trinity"
Ny conception is that man is a
trinity-composed of soul. mind.
and spirit acting separately or in
unison.
Now for my belief: In one place
the Bible says: The soul that sin
meth shall die" In another place 1t
says: ''The spirit OF man goeth up
ward" and still another: Love the
Lord thy God with all thy soul, with
all thy mind. -" 1t refers to them
as separate and distinct, constitut-
ing a trinity. And yet, this is mere
speculation.

sILo GASES ENDANGER
CARELESS FARMER.

The careless farmer has a chance
TO get gased in his own silo. II he
does not take the proper precau-
tions.
When the corn is being stored in
the silo and left over night, deadly
odorless carbon monoNide gas forms
and collects just above the ensiled
corn, and II this is not removed by
mechanical blowers before the
work is resumed there 10 a chance
for fatalities. according 70 the De-
partment of Agriculture.
A few DAYS ago two illinois farm
ers were killed and another was
rendered seriously sick by silo
gases. which are almost as danger
Gus as the poisonous mustard gases
used during the recent war. In
this instance one Of the farm work
men entered a fifty-foot silo which
had been half filled the previous
day. Some time elapsed and when
he did not come out another of
the hands asCended into the silO.
Neither rexppeared, though the
other workers shouted to them re-
peatedly TO come down. Fearing an
accident, the farm owner finally
climbed into the silo. lie also was
Immediately overcome by the poi
sonous fumes and only the fact that
others followed him. forced open
the extra silo doors and carried
him into the open air saved his life.
The two other men were suffocated
Immediately.
Each year a number OF accidents
OF this kind occur. due largely %
carelessness and ignorance of the
proper methods Of eradicstinE the
dangerous gases. The preventive
measures are simple and efficient
and where they are followed there
is no danger.
The Washington herald., 1921-08-29

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Your editorial in yesterday paper,
commenting on the disaster which
befell the dirigible ZR-2, expresses
the opinion that a non-flammable
gas be discovered before further ex-
periments are undertaken.
There is cause 70. great satisfac-
tion in the knowledge that such
gas has been discovered and has
proven practical for airship use.
This gas is helium, which was de-
veloped. I believe, during the war.
and a plant for the manufacture OF
which is now in operation at Petro-
liza, Texas, under the United States
Bureau of Mines. Helium is not so
light as hydrogen but has a buoy
ant effect comparable with hydro
gen, and does not turn or explode.
I understand that had the war con-
tinued American balloons would
have made use of the gas in place
of hydrogen. No doubt The Herald
has from time to time published
articles relative to helium and its
manufacture at Petrolia.

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
AGAINST CANCER

An educational campaign against
cancer is planned in this country
and Canada by the American Society
for the Control Of Cancer. This
will take the form OF q national
cancer week TO be held October 30
to November s.
This is the first attempt on the
part of the society TO carry out a
uniform campaign at one time
throughout the country. and Il de-
sires the cooperation Of all ma
tional, State and local agencies in
terested in public health.
The aim OF this campaign is en-
tirely educational. and IL is desired
to reach all sections Of the country
and as large a part OF the popula-
tion as possible with the message
Of cancer control. The three prin-
cipal educational activities will be:
The giving Of lectures by we'll
known physicians and surgeons,
who have volunteered for this serv-
ice and who compose the lecture
bureaus Of the State and local com
mittees for cancer control recently
organized by the society; the dis
tribution OF literature at all meet
ings held during the week; suitable
publicity in the lay press. official
health bulletins and articles in
professional journals
For the. purpose OF this campaign
the American Society for the Con-
troll OF Cancer has organized cam
paign committees in practically all
communities OF 5000 or more popu-
lation and has arranged for the ap-
pointment Of a chairman Of each OF
these local committees, who is to
select committees to carry out the
program locally.

The Future Life.

To the Editor. The wsshingtou Herald:
In reading articles Of the future
life. the soul, prospects. etc. ] won
der IL our great thinkers and the
ologians are not confounding crea-
tive inorganic life with progressive
organic life. When We search for a
starting point in the universe, we
come down to the three ebeonals,
time, matter and force. For these
there was no beginning and will be
no end. We can then assume from
this that organic life as a dIvi-
sion OF matter is also eternal. The
only difference being in location.
The universe is no different at any
point Of time in regard to creative
or progressive forces. In the crea-
tive force the atom appears the
prime mover. In the other, the cleo
tron through the fluid conditions,
comes TO the front. By SO doing
there is both possibility and prob
ability OF the formation OF atomic
bodies resisting disintegration and
note. molecular drawing from the
parent body elements necessary for
its life. When sickness or accident
happens. this force sets to work to
repair damage IL possible. Should
II see failure Il seeks to set itself
free in whatever condition IL hap-
pens to be in. Every indication for
all ages points to a future life and
we are building it. Whatever the
soul may be IL is safe to assume a
material body connected with Il both
present and future BY the term
material we may not exactly mean
material such as We can see all
around us. There are other ave-
nues opened up through the discoy-

Allow me to remind you that the

Allow a word relating to a letter
appearing in your open Court"
Friday the 27th.
Brother Snakehunter may have
absorbed his system of theology
from the atmosphere of that school
through which he walked one day,
but he must be mistaken about that
horse. No sure enough horse. not
even q bronco, would teach him any
thing of that sort. Are you sure
II was a horse?
We have been we'll acquainted
with quite a number OF horses, and
more than once, in our youth, we
considered with them the question
of future punishment, especially
one who thought it was smart to
get his tail over the lines, and we
found them fairly orthodox, as far
as we could understand them.
Mr.. Snakehunter's theology Is
very cruel. worse than the fire and
birthstone of the fathers. He would
take a poor fellow. who had no use
for such things while in the flesh,
give him a golden harp, set him
twanging II in competition with the
angel choir which Gabriel has had
in training for a thousand years
and he only knows jazz music
while the Amen corner resounds
with thunderous hallelujas. which
roll UP like the sound Of many
waters: and no mourner's bench Wis
ible anywhere. That would be
tough on any sinner, not barring
even the Kaiser.
No. the old way is better and less
cruel. According to the old the
ology, now considered a trifle musty
by advanced thinkers. that party
would be assigned a suitable loca-
tion in those regions. where only
congenial spirits would be allowed
to settle. Shouting Methodists,
deep-water Baptists. Holy Rollers
and the like. would be halted at the
border. Even a pope would be asked
to show his credentials and to shed
his millinery, before being allowed
to cross the line. Here no loud
voiced evangelist comes with his
antiquated notions about hell and
damnation and Judgment dav: and

the people about the love of GOD,

And every fellow can do just as
he pleases IL he keeps out Of the
