Returns from Eternity"

PTHERE is nobody to believe but Roland Ably. 20
years old-a Northwestern University student
for his story, told in Chicago last week, that
he saw life in the world beyond, after he had
drowned
Abys canoe capszed and he was dragged from
river unconscious After lifesavers had worked for
ty-ive minutes trying to restore life he was pro-
nounced dead. Then he sat up and rubbed his eyes.
Il cannot longer doubt there is life after this"
said Ably. IF you imagine world filled with
the most gorgeous daubs OF futuristic colors-purpes
colds and crinsons--a world peopled with fantastic
beings resembling Russian. ballet dancers, will
have some idea OF the hereafter which experienced
sit was a rhythmic world pulsing constantly at
I-a-s-4 measure" said the student. II am not alto
eeher sure of the nature Of that life, if life it be-
but there is continuation Of human consciousness
after the phenomenon which we call death, though 1t
be consciousness different from that we know about
/ am now certain Of that. The world in which
lived during those forty-6ve minutes was world of
what we commonly know as subeonsciousness. 1t

M ETHODS of handling disciplinary in
Nv the CLASSIFIED Civil Service irregular and
49, without fundamental principles Representa-
tive Martin B. Madden, of Illinois, told the House
Civil Service Committee in support Of his bill for the
establishment of Civil Service court of appeals He
said the methods harsh and repressiVe and lax
as to encourage nefficiency. He said department
heads have much power. He believed the Civil
Service Commission should have the power to inves-
tgate all disciplinary and issue subpoenas and
compel testimony. Employees should be encouraged
to believe that the way to success is through eff
cheney, he said and this is lacking in the present
merous and complicated Civil Service laws in his
opinion. Under present rules. particularly in the
Postoffce Department individuals must remain silent
in the face of abuses and determinations.
The testimony of First Assistant Postmaster Cen
ploycs under charges were permitted to confront
tn, complainants, was cited.

VA bunal, Madden said, Congress cannot get
w the truth about the executive departments.
He cited various instances Of discharges solely for
testifying before Congressional committees. Some OF
these cases. he sad involved employees Of many years
service who had been dismissed trivial grounds
and without their day in court. "They were dis
charged" he said, wholly the basis Of charges
made by their superiors, and without fair trial"
Madden mentioned various other bodies which
had examined the facts and found substantially the
same situation Among such bodies had been the
original Reclass6eation Commission and the Indus
trial Conference called by President Wilson Of which
Secretary Hoover was member: The latter. he

sad had urged the establishment of such tribunal,

there would be any tendency to congest Civil Ser

hand it would eliminate, he said the trivial and
foolish charges. No officer would file complaints
without a reasonable foundation; petty annoyances
would disappear.
The City of Chicago, said Madden, has had the
system which he favors in operation for many years.
No Of the 10000 employees of the city may be

and lawless condition which is ex-
isting thruout the entire country and
: kOX County, have caused people to
make up their minds to select a
Sheriff at the Primary in August that
would inspire confidence and secur-
ity into the hearts of the law-abiding
citizens, and strike terror into the
bad men and criminal elements of
the County.
= is commonly talked and gener-
ally understood that E. J. Wyrick.
with his sterling character. with his
courage. and with the respect which
the people have for him. will do
more to establish law and order and
to suppress crime, when elected to
the Office of Sheriff. than anything
that could happen. This explains
why people are rallying to his stand
ard, and the reason for so many in
huential men from all parts of the
country taking up this fight for him.
The recent crimes and bloodshed
in Knox County have caused a great
change in Wyrick's favor and there
is beginning to be a united effort on
the part of the substantial citizens,
men and women, to see that he is
elected as the next Sheriff of Knox
