Like hearing from the dead was a
paper received this week from Seattle,
Wash, which contained an account of
a demonstration and talk made by
former Scoutmaster Henry S. Voikmer
in artificial respiration by the Schafer
method, to the scouts of Troop 10. Mr..
Volkmer was one of the pioneer news
papermen of South Dakota, located at
Milbank. The old timers all remem-
Der Henry when he sailed under the
name Of Lewis and was II of the
most irrepressible Democratic news
paper men in the territory or Dakota
We are not quite clear on the subject
but we think he changed his name to
Volkmer when he received the Repub'
lican appointment as postmaster at
Milbank, which was after the territory
OF Dakota was divided and South Da-
kota put on the map as an independent
state. Geo. Schlosser Of washington
Springs, Clate Tinan Of Tindall, OF
Chas. Hackett of Parker, are about
the only ones who would be able &c
verify the above facts.

destructive OF its announced purpose
Of dealing collectively With the prob
lem of Russia for the common bene-
fit. But that negotiations have ac-
tually been carried on in this spirit
is now challenged by the German
delegation with apparently the sym
pathy of neutral delegations. The
question is now whether the govern
ments not in the allied group will draw
definitely together in a powerful OPP
position, which would probably finish
the conference at once and leave the
gerous crisis, or whether the issue can
be smoothed ove at the price OF con-
cessions to the outsiders.
Serious as the crisis is, il may have
a desirable result in forcing the o n
ference to deal with basic factors
which the allies had agreed to exclude
from discussion. This restriction, it
has seemed to US, would certainly
break down because once the gov
ernments hard pressed for relief, like

chiefly with the earliest possible econ
omic and financial restoration of CEN
trial and eastern Europe, like most Of
the neutrals, are able 20 meet and on
as they can at Genoa, they are very
unlikely to submit to the exclusion
OF primary factors in the restoration
problem. They are certain to get to-
gether in one way or another.
AS we have said before, Russia and
Germany, even in their present state,
are too powerful to be treated as
criminals or irresponsibles, and the
need for their is SO great
hat in the long run, if not at once,
it will shape the main course OF any
conference. Just now the situation
is confusing and explosive. Our gov
eminent made a wise decision when it
resolved to keep out of it.

SIR ARTHUR'S NONSENSE

Sioux City JOURNALISM Arthur
Conan Doyle's lectures on spiritual
ism include, too serious things for the
noted Englishman to provoke ridicule'
and yet his own statements provoke
it. In one of his last public appear
ances at New York, he presented a
picture of heaven that surely is ludi
crous il not sa%criligious. The heaven
that Sir Arthur imagines-the word
is used advisedly because IL Is not adj
mitted that he knows any more about
the hereafter than anyone else-is
one inhabited not only by the souls
Of persons who have died, but by
horses, cows, cats and dogs. In fact,
he insists, anything that was loved
by a mortal may be taken TO heaven.
His argument, which is really not an
argument, but a mere statement, does
not stand up.
In the first place, material things
such as buildings, motor cars, pianos,
etc, must remain on eafih. None has
yet been so daring as - Say such
IDlDE6 udu 6Oulct dhd IL thACy NoAHN
have spirits, then it is quite impossi-
BILE for them to be found in heaven
In the spirit world. S:r Arthur might
insist that ones wardrobe might be
taken with one at death, or ones jew
els. Things that represent wealth,
however, surely cannot be taken into
heaven, for, as everyone knows, ma
terial effects Of that character always
are left behind, frequently TO become
the foundation of lawsuits. 1t might
seem that Sir Arthur thus could be
made to lose his case in rebuttal with
out the examination of a single wit
ness, but through an appeal to the
commonest common sense.
No one believes implicitly every
thing he says. The main trouble
about his lecture appearance, how
ever, is that the author OF the famous
Sherlock Holmes detective stories de-
yeloped such a remarkable magma
ton in the literary world that 1T is
able to function now in dealing with
spiritual problems and representa-
tions, and it is questionable whether
he is ~effecting good. That he might
do harm is entirely possible, for cred
ulous persons may be easily swayed
by his statements and influenced to
create a premature opportunity to en-
brace the blessings he so fervidly
projects. Only a few days ago a young
woman killed her child and herself
because she felt she could thereby
guide as a spirit the earthly success of
her husband. That may not be an
entirely isolated case. Suicides do not
always explain their acts. The Jour
nal is not convinced that Sir Arthur is
talking sense which simple statement
can have but n Interpretation and
that is that he is talking nonsense.

GRAB HOE AND RAKE

De Smet News-In the spring a
young mans fancy turns to hoes.
rakes, a paint brush, some garden
seeds. Then is it hat he is late for
meals and the wife has to send all
the children out to get him In. There
is something about the sunshine and
balmy air Of spring that gets in his
blood and he wants to help nature
make things beautiful. And the
thought Of growing things makes him
more optimistic.
Curtis Johnson Of Rush City, Mimi,
was telling the editors at the press
meeting last winter about the optim-
ism with which a man planted a row
of peas, or beets or cabbage. And
when he gets the row planted, he
sticks the prettily pictured envelope
the seeds were in on a little stick at
the end of the row." said Mr.. John
son. do you know why he does
that? To tell what is planted in the
row? Not much he does that so
the little plants when they stick
themselves out of the ground will see
the pretty beets or cabbage on tine
envelope, at the end Of their row and
will swell up with ambition and say,
I'm going to be just like that big
fellow" That is why the optimistic
man puts the envelope at the end of
the row, hoping to encourage the
Seeding to big production.
There is plenty Of opportunity for
man to help nature make things more
beautiful. He can remove the build
ing paper from about the house, rake
the yard, burn up the brush, fix up
the fences. have a painter and carpen'
ter get to work,-do a lot Of things to
make his place look better. The cost
of things necessary for cleaning up is
considerably less this year, and within
reach Of everyone. Labor should be
lower than last year, and there seer
to be plenty Of it.
