SOME aMEDluMs. EXPOSE THEM.
SELVES

There have been from time to
time exposures of .spiritualist" fax
ers by persons who purposely inves-
tigated them but sometimes these
takers expose themselves. Such ex-
posures may be convincing enough
but they accomplish nothing. Most
persons like to be humbugged, so the
takers are still doing thriving bust
ness. and probably always will.
An amusing incident related in an
English publication is here given, as
it is an example of self-exposure. A
medium at seance asked if anyone
present wished to speak to the spirit
of one departed, and a gentleman got
up and said: Yes do, plesae.'
And with whose spirit?s he was
asked.
Il would like to speak to the spirit
of Lindley Murray (Lindley Murray.
who lived over a century ago, was one
of the greatest authorities on the Eng
lish language.)
The medium replied, after q short
pause: Now, sir, you can question the
spirit

HOW a FABLE GROWS

At the annual dinner of the Cham
Der of Commerce of the State of New
York former Senator Albert j. Bev-
eridge related an eloquent fable con-
corning the management of the rail-
roads during the war which nothing
but review of the facts is likely to
destroy. I'VE went to war shamefully
unprepared, he said, land in storm
of confusion, excitement and panic
the railways, gravely weakened financ-
tally but with operating forces still
regimented although FESTIVE, were
taken from their harassed and dis
tracted owners and run by the Nation
al Administration. Then followed
that saturnalia of mismanagement
which left those properties bound and
gagged by agreements, regulations
and working rules
Ii there was saturnalia of mis-
management after the roads were
taken over by the Government it was
been managing the roads before they
were taken over To find proof of
that statement it is necessary only to
glance at the following list of rail-
road executives who filed the high
est positions in the Railroad Admin
istration under Secretary McAdoo:
Director Division of Capital Expendi-
ures-Robert S. Lovett, Chairman
of the Board of Union Pacific.
Director Division of Traffic. Edward
Chambers. Vice President in charge
of Traffic of Santa Fe.
Director Division of Operation-Carl
r. Gray, President of Western Mary
land (now President Of Union Pa
cific)
Regional Director Eastern Region
"A. H. Smith, President of New York
Central
Regional Director of Allegheny Reg
ion-C. III. Markham, President of
Illinois Central
Regional Director Pocahontas Reg
ion-N d. Maher, President of Nor
folk and Western
Regional Director Southern Region
B. L. Winchell, Director of Traffic
of Union Pacific.
Regional Director Northwestern
r. Fl. Ashton, President of Chicago
and Northwestern
Regional Director Central Western
Region Hale Holden, President of
Burlington.
Regional Director Southwestern
Region -B. F. Bush, President of
Missouri Pacific.
The United States took over the
railroads because as competing en-
terprises they had failed to deliver
the goods under the stain of war.
The Government unified them, financ-
ed them and placed them in the hands
of the same officials who had controll-
ed them when they were privately
and separately operated The action
was absolutely essential to the con-
duct of the war The roads are now
caught, along with. the rest of the
Nations business, in worldwide de-
preston. As for the ssaturnalia of
mismanagement,' that is Senator Bev-
eridge's personal contribution to the
mythology of political hobgoblins.
