Brazil's Exposition

There are those who can remem-
Der the participation of Brazil in our
Centennial Exposition. The great
South American country was then
an empire, but it's progressive SOW
ereign took pains to come hither in
person, with his consort, and to
spend some time at the great show
in Philadelphia. Nor was his visit
a mere formality. Dom Pedro took
a deep and intelligent interest in the
scientific and industrial significance
of the exposition, and it may not be
too much to believe that the atten-
ton which he there paid to what had
thus far been neglected exhibit
had much to 90 with fastening the
development of the telephone into
the public utility which it is to-day
Our best attention paid to the Rio
de Janeiro Exposition of 1922 will
be merely courteous return for the
Brazilian Emperor's attention to
that at Philadelphia in 1876.
AS for the more practical phases
of the, matter, it should be sufficient
to bear in mind that Brazil, by far
the largest and most populous
country in the Western Hemisphere
after our own, has foreign trade
of something like a billion dollars
year, which in both imports and ex-
ports peculiarly appeals to our eco
nomic and commercial interests. She
needs our machinery and other
manufactures, and we need her
coffee, rubber, lumber and other
natural products. We are now
dominant in her trade. We take
about one-third of her exports
much more than any other country
and she imports from US about
four times as much as from any
other country. In recognition of
such mutually beneficent relations
we shall do we'll to make American
representation second to no other
nations, in magnitude and in cor
diality, at our neighbours centennial
celebration Of national independence.

No Evidence

Perhaps for the first time in his
tory a great university has made a
systematic scientific search for
proofs of the existence of so-called
spiritual phenomena. The Sorbonne
in Paris has devoted six months to
such study, examining witnesses of
every kind and investigating every
thing that was offered as evidence.
No real evidence was revealed.
There was no ectoplasm radiating
from any of the mediums under ex-
animation, no table rapping that was
not found to be wholly physical in its
origin, no voices that were not as
certained to be faxed by charlatans.
Since the beginning of time human
curiosity has been piqued by the pre-
tensions of spiritualists, and by sue
cessions of condolences that seemed
to point to unseen influences direct
ing or seeking to direct human af-
fairs. But scientific curiosity is an
other thing. 1t demands absolute
proof, and, failing that, refuses to
believe.
Tragic losses in the war led many
parents to seek pathetically for signs
that their children were not utterly
lost to them. But it was always the
parent who was victimized by the
medium. The youth bereft of his
parents seldom sought them in an
unseen world, for youth is naturally
healthy minded and naturally less
prone to give way to the illusions
prompted by sorrow.
The conclusions of the scientists of
the Sorbonne ought to serve as
wholesome antidote to the pitiful
hysteria that is capitalized by the
illiterate "psychic." But as long as
human nature is as it is, it is doubt
full if many searchers after the
occult will be turned from their
decisions.

news wherever they can find it, that
there is no discrimination in favor of
capital, and that their best course
is to give out statements passed
upon by news experts of their own
as the kind of material that the pub
lie Will be willing to read.
AS to the main matter of COM
plant, were the contents of The
Tribune checked against the bulky
communications received, it would
appear that the labor unions habitu-
ally suffer less from exclusions than
does the other side. Doubtless
the same is true Of newspapers
generally.

More Truth Than Poetry
By James ]. Montague
The Majority Against

No man who tries to drive to
town,
And finds, to his disgust,
That all the dreary journey down
He gets a flivver's dust,
Because for miles along the way
They're strung out in horde,
Will step up on Election Day
And vote for Henry Ford.
No man whose neighbor, ere the
dawn
Has more than partly broke,
Lets loose across his private lawn
A cloud of sooty smoke,
The while the motor in his can
For trouble is explored,
Will ever try to lead the van
That votes for Henry Ford.
No man who has to work to live,
In town or on the farm,
And, cranking up his trusty fiv',
Gets fractures in his arm,
The builder of the said machine
With ballots will reward.
The man we mention does not
mean
To vote for Henry Ford.
No man who long has had to hear
The stories that are told
Of Fords, collected far and near,
And all extremely old,
Who cannot stay these ancient
tales
So fuently outpoured,
Will, while his smouldering wrath
prevails,
Do aught for Henry Ford.

The Shadow of Violence

After a week of augmentation
the ugly shadow Of violence is being
cast over the railroad walk-out stu
alton. Men who have taken places
vacated by the union shopmen have
been attacked. The courts and the
police powers of the states are being
appealed to to protect new workers
who have taken jobs on the assur-
ance from the Railroad Labor Board
that they are thereby doing public
service and are entitled to recog-
milton as regular railroad employees
The railroad shop strike differs
from the coal strike. Coal mining
does not have to go on all the time.
Most Of the union field operators
have been as willing as the men to
take vacation" But transporta-
ton cannot stop. The Federal
transportation act set up the Rail-
road Labor Board as an arbiter of
wages and working conditions in or
der to remove excuses for walk-outs
and lock-outs. The board is the final
authority in disputes of the sort
which formerly led to strikes. The
government has accepted the theory
that it has the power to keep traffic
uninterrupted in the public interest.
The shopmen are challenging that
theory. They have the unquestioned
right to quit work and to use peace
full persuasion to discourage others
from taking their places. But they
have no right to use force and in
timidation to drive those who have
replaced them out Of the railroad
service. They voluntarily surren-
dered their privileged status under
the transportation law. That does
not excuse them for playing the dog
in the manger. The Esch-Cummins
act, applied in the Labor Boards
rulings, cannot be suspended at their
say so.
The courts, the Railroad Labor
Board, the state governments, the
Federal government and the power
Of public opinion are all aligned
against such an effort to supplant
law by illegitimate obstruction and
violence. The public's interest in the
continuance of railroad operation is
paramount. A tiny minority of ex-
railroad workers sets up a contrary
interest. And, having set it up, this
minority is unwilling to let the issue
be settled peacefully and lawfully.
1t is free to resort to the courts if it
thinks that the Railroad Labor
Board overstepped it's authority in
the recent wage decisions. Instead
1T resorts to Ku-Klux methods.
Violence, however, is a sign of
weakness. The government cannot
be intimidated. Neither can the
public, which is determined to see
mails, passengers and freight car
ried. Violence can help only to dis
close to the blindest the real nature
OF the walk-out, which is essentially
a test of strength between a tiny
union, seeking exceptional advan-
tage, and the lone big union" which
is all of us-the nation itself, op-
Grating under a charter of fair play
and democracy.

Prince Eristoff came to this country
with the avowed purpose of marrying
Mrs. Frank Leslie, Of whose great
wealth and exalted social station It'd

prize was carried off by Oscar Wilde's

ordinary untitled citizens to meet a
person of such distinction, he gathered
about his table half dozen members
of the noble colony, and there were
more coronets than dollars in the
crowd. The prince, who had hoped to
make the acquaintance of wealthy
Americans whom he could pluck at his

found himself in the presence of these

The Weakest Link

Sir: Have you had one of those
chain letters from a kind friend wish
ing you good luck? Having had three
of these mssives of alleged benevo-
lence, we rise to a point Of order.
The letter arrives in an interesting
envelope, which, opened, reveals list
of names as long as it Is imposing.
You presume you are being asked to
serve on an important committee until
you note that at the bottom Of the
column some former friend has wished
you good luck"
All he asks in return is that you copy
the letter nine times and forward it
to nine friends whom you wish good
luck.
That involves the expenditure only
Of time, nine sheets of paper, nine en-
velopes, nine 2-cent stamps and nine
friends. The chain should go three
times around the world, the letter adj
vises. Owing to the number of links
from which we have emancipated our
self, we wish to issue the warning that
it will now reach only 2h times.
The chain is said to have been
started by an American officer.
Not that we wish anybody the hard
luck the letter threatens to visit upon
you if you break the chain, but we
would like to move a reconsideration
of the Army bill, providing for 10000
officers. Honestly, we think it should
be 1889. F. D. D.
