10 the Editor. The Washington Herald:
want to publicly voice my ap-
proval of the ''Gump cartoons" ap-
pearing daily in your paper.
Mr.. Smith. the artist responsible
for the cartoons, deserves credit for
the remarkable wit and humor he
displays in the daily lives Of Andy
and Minnie Gump. His lines are ex-
ceptionally clever. have a laugh in
every one. and an artist capable Of
doing this day after day is an as
set to any paper and to the COM
munity.
In Tuesday mornings Herald a
communication signed stranger"
deplores the fact that Andy has no
chin, etc. which Is immaterial.
Whether Andy has or has not the
chin to hold his pipe, he hands us a
good l.-ugh every morning, and l
for one say, long live the Gump car
toons and their artist, Mr.. Smith

So Men who WELD power will foresee
danger of war and urge prepare

Leaders of public opinion will arise
to fight the idea of disarmament,
for Mars Is in threatening place.
Many forces will unite to fight the
Influences that make for universal
peace. The power Of evil will gain
at this time.
While there are rumors of inter-
national disputes many destructive
agencies will be stimulated 10
activity and prohibition again will
be strongly combatted.
Values of many commodities again
will fall and while prices will be
lower there will be a sudden caution
about spending money. This will be
due to causes not counted on In xhe
early spring.
Farmers have the forecast OF or
ganization that should greatly beng
ut them after a time. but they may
pass through a period of depres.
sion.
Taxation will be widely discussed
and movements to alleviate the bur-
dens of the middle classes will be
of grave moment.
Warning is given that the spoken
word of fear or despondency may
do great harm, since optimism will
be required, IL the nation is to fulfil
its best promises.
A falling off of the birthrate will
be notice atle in the autumn
The. exposure of sores on the body
polite will continue 60 arouse the
spirit of reform all through the
autumn.
Nationwide movements to teach
the duties of citizenship will mark
the coming autumn and winter. the

that every man and woman should
recognize responsibility to the State

Persons whose birthdate u Ia

A Brief for Spirits.
To the Editor. The Washington Heraid ID

To the Editor. The Washington Heiad
In answer to the very fine article
by the Rev. Clovis 6. Campbell. ap-
pearing in your issue Of August s. ]
would like TO make a few remarks.
basing those remarks on his quota
tion: The fool hath said in his
heart. there is no God" DR.. Camp
bell includes in this sentence all
persons who consult mediums. call
ing the latter witches" evil per-
sons who know nothing of God.
would like to call attention to
the twelfth chapter of st. Paurs
Epistle to the Corinthians, begin
ming at the first verse: Now con-
cerning spiritual gifts" to the
fourth verse. there are diversities
of gifts. but one Spirit" the sixth
verse. and there are diversities of
operations. but il is the same God
which wOrketh in all For to
one is given the word Of wisdom:
to another the word OF knowledge
by the same Spirit: to another
faith by the same Spirit: to another
the gift of healing by the same
Spirit: to another the working OF
mira cles: to another prophecy: to
another the discerning of Spirits:
to another diverse kinds OF tongues
AMI to another the Interpretation
IF tongues. But to all these there
worketh the self-same Spirit divid-
ing every man as He willis"
Again. in the twenty-eighth verse
we find: And God hath set in the
churches first apostles, secondariIy
prophets. thirdly teachers. after that
miracles, then healing" etc.
This in answer to the Spiritual
powers. DR.. Campbell can hardly
call such men as Sir Oliver Lodge
fools" Sir oliver is a very devout
worshiper of God, yet he consuIts
mediums, and says so in his lectures
to very large audiences in which the
clergy are very prominent listeners
Nor can he class all mediums as
witches. ! myself am a medium. but
I do not aspire to the title Of a
witch.
Christ sat in circles with His d.
ciples and taught them to unfold
their marvellous powers within lie
then sent them forth to teach the
truth to all men. That the blind
see. the dead live. the deaf hear. all
through :he spirit working through
them" To some of the elect Christ
retired ito an high place" and ma
terialized the spirits OF the departed.
and consulted with them. Yet this
same Christ said, greater things
than do. ye shall also do"
These acts were called miracles
by the ignorant minds OF the day
but to the initiated they are recog-
nized as the Divine right Of every
one of us who seeks to unfold.
Christ has said ''the last enemy to
be overcome 10 DEATH" and COM
munication with our beloved dead
Is rapidly overcoming our last
enemy. o.
I agree with DR.. Campbell that
many false mediums exist. and that
IL Is not good to consult with them.
But that is no reason why any just
man should be reviled.

Thomas F. Ryan, of New York

for having the work done. The Bat

late Charles Broadway Rouss, OF

Dry Jury, Judge,
N All, Is Plan
ToEnforceLaw

Strict enforcement of prohibition
is. after all, matter of extreme
simplicity" This is the belief OF
the Board of Temperance, Prohibi-
tion and Public Morals of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church.
This Is how the board believes
all leaks could be plugged up
tighter than a Pullman window:
Put none but prohibitionists at
work enforcing the Volstead law.
Appoint no judge who is not a
prohibitionist; no Federal attorney
who is not heartily in sympathy
with the Federal law" the board
urges.
Make every United States mar
shal a prohibitionist.
Put on juries none but those
who believe that prohibition should
be enforced"
ut is a simple little recipe, but
II would work to perfection.
