LINCOLN WAS
ANCIENT SOUL.
SAYS SPEAKER
Man Comes Back Upon The
Earth in Many Different
Forms

In his lecture last night at the
Business and Professional Women's
Club Rooms, Alvin j. Baker, theoso-
phical lecturer, said in part that the
hypothesis of reincarnation put
forth by theosophy, explained the
inequalities of life on the basis of
justice. Every man reaps as he
sows and has the environment, char
acter and hereditary conditions ac-
cording to his efforts and stage of
evolution. A man such as Abraha m
Lincoln, who became great in spite
of his environment, had undoubted-
ly lived before as statesman in 9TH
er acts Of the worlds drama-in an
cient Rome, Greece or Egypt.
The body, he said, is but tenn
porary vesture for ono life only.
Man is spiritual being and is grad
ually unfolding. life by life, the di-
vine powers latent within. Mans
animal nature or mortal mind" is
due to the animal nature of body
in which the spirit dwells
Hypnotism, dangerous as it was
to practice, had revealed many facts
about mans consciousness. Col. De
Roches has been able to regress the
memory back of birth into former
lives, and facts discovered about
events in past incarnations have
been corroborated.
Those ignorant of theosophy
claim that man may become an ami
NAL, but that is not the teaching.
Mans goal is perfection and he may
win that perfection BY effort. HE
that overcometh shall inherit all
things. When man has obtained
perfection he need come back no
more. she that overcometh | will
make pillar in the Temple of My
God and he shall 60 no more OUT
into incarnation.
Mr.. Baker will give an informal
talk this evening at 8:15. His sub
ject will be "The Supermen and the
Divine Wisdom" The meeting will
be held at the Mohawk, 401 5th ST.
The public is invited.

Court of Claims are being enrolled
by Maj. James Mclaughlin. the old.
est employe in the Indian service.
Maj. Mclaughlin, in Bismarck on
his way to Fort Totten. N. D.. cs,
timated that by the time his work
is finished within three months
there will be between 1900 and g.
500 Indians named as entitled to
share in the award.
The award, he said. grew out of
cancelled annuities which followed
massacre in Minnesota in 1864
After payment of attorneys fees
there was $347,5OO for distribution
and Maj Mclaughlin was assigned
to search through the Northwest
for the rightful claimants.
Maj. Mclaughlin. who is 81 years
old, entered the Indian service in
1871 as agent at Fort Totten, N. D..
in 1881 he was made agent at Stand
ing Rock. N. d., and for many years
has been an inspector and special
representative. Maj. Mclaughlin
negotiated some of the most import
ant of the Northwest treaties and
numbered among his friends Gen
Hugh Scott, who was young lieu
tenant at Fort Totten in 1871 and
became famous later as an Indian
fighter, friend of the Indians and
chief of staff of the United States
Army.
Maj. Mclaughlin, recalling the re-
ported statement of A. MEG. Beede
of Ft. Yates. N. d., to a convention
in Chicago last winter that General
George A. Custer had committed
suicide rather than be taken by the
Indians in the famous fight of 1876
declared any such report is false.
Gen. Custer, he said. was killed
by two shots, one in the forehead
and one in the breast. He died fac
ing the Indians.
The story of the massacre was
told Maj. Mclaughlin after he had
spent five years among the Indians
at Standing Rock. Not until they
had known him that long did they
tell him the true story of the fight,
he said. ~

Gallon, o., June 15.-Mrs. Emma

Mrs. Lee, aged about Is. said to

URGES STATE
NOT TO TAKE
TO INSURANCE
Speaker at Conference Says
Private Insurance Is Badge
Of lndividualistic State
DANGEROUS MOVEMENT

Atlanta, Ca. June 15.-(By tn.
A. PD-Insurance policies are the
underlying bonds of the individual
ist state and, for that reason, the
studied effort which is being made in
this country to break down insurance
as a private enterprise and to make
state monopoly out of it is the
most dangerous and insidious of all
socialistic movements, the delegates >
to the National Association OF Credit
Men were told today by Henry Swift
Ives, secretary of the Casualty In
formation Clearing House, of Chi
cago.
Mr.. Ives subject was insurance.
credit and the state. Continuing he
said: THE institutions of our repre-.
sentative democracy and the princi-
pie of private rights in property
might weather. for a tima, the gov
ernment ownership of transp0rta-
tion and the so-callcd utilities, but
they could not survive government
ownership of insurance.
Power breeds power and it is only
a short step from state compensa-
tion funds to state life and fire in
surance. Those who unthinkingly ac-
cept the socialist theory of why state
companies should write compensa-
tion lines, cannot hold to it and at
the same time logically oppose any
other government insurance scheme
II wonder how many people there
are in this country who know that
today Is American states are operat-
ing insurance companies for the
writing of workmen's compensation
business, and that two states. Wis
consin and Massachusetts, have ex-
perimcnted with life insurance 1
venture to say that there are very
few who realize the extent to which
this specialization scheme has been
carried.
On Compensation Laws
"The states which are experiment.
ing with the compensation lines are:
California. Colorado. Idaho, Mary
land, Michigan. Montana, Nevada,
New York, North Dakota. Ohio, Ore
gon. Pennsylvania, Utah Washington,
West Virginia and Wyoming. And
seven of these states actually pro-
hibit private companies from writing
this type of insurance and require
all employers of labor, arbitrarily
and without option, to rely on the
state funds for their protection. The
states, which, by establishing mon
opoly. admit their inability to COM
pete on equal terms with others en-
gagged in the insurance business are:
Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio. Oregon,
Washington. West Virginia and Wy
oming. In 1921 the state companies
in the nine states permitting COM
petition only wrote 14.7 per cent of
the compensation coverage, although
all of them offered as inducements
an apparent initial saving in rates.
".This record ought to be ample
proof that government ownership of
insurance is just as inefficient, just
as extravagant and just as bureau
cratic as government ownership of
anv other business. The test of any
commodity is its quality. pot the
price it is sold at. The employers
of these nine states seem to have
needed this principle in buying their
insurance"
