WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Govern-

League of Nations-which is upper
most in the public mind?
A lot of good Democrats here
abouts would like to know. They are
faced with the problems of deciding
whether or not either or both of the
foregoing propositions would make
campaign capital for 1924.
Democratic leaders in Congress
have been avoiding comment upon
campaign issues, preferring to wait
for the Republicans to make more
mistakes
Now two prominent Democrats
have come out of the b-ackwoods and
are threatening TO take leadership Of
the party away from the Democratic
chiefs Of the Senate and the House.

SEEING
BLACK
GHOSTS

~
GHOSTS saw the ghost. English scientists are taking
his claim seriously, fer he is a man of high
standing. His father was "chief whip of the Conservative
party, also vice chamberlain to Queen Victoria and King Edward.
Lord st. Audres encountered his "black ghost in the ira
ditional theatrical atmosphere. He didn't believe in ghosts. But
he was curious. So, on a weekend visit, he and his hosts de-
cided to investigate a nearby haunted house.
This haunted house was a deserted dwelling, crumblng to
decay, Uttered with fallen plaster and other rubbish.
The ghosts headquarters were supposed to be in a second
floor bathroom where, some fifty years ago, an insane doctor had
committed an atrocious murder and later committed suicide
Br-r-r-r!
Lord St. Audries mounted guard in the upstairs hall in sight
of the bathroom door. He had a candle for light. His friends re-
manned outside. Most of us would)

with l know not what, down the steep stairs" ' 0NSe"'
Having escaped, Lord st. Audres learns that no dog can be
cOaxed into the garden around the haunted house. This is the
most significant part of his story.
NeuroIogists, specializing in psychic phenomena, would claim
that what Lord Audres saw was a creation of his mind-an hal
lucrnation while in a highly-strung psychoimaginative condition.
Authorities like Hudson admit that so-caIled ghosts are actually
"seen," But they do not admit that seing them necessarily
proves the existence and presence of departed spirits. HaIuclna-
tions in dreams seem very real.
Many others firmly believe in ghosts.
You can get just so far with psychic phenomena. then reach
a point where you have nothing to stand on except faith.
EXPORTS = may make you scowI to learn that merchan-
PRICES = sumped to less than 1892 million dollars,
compared with 8,228 millions in the record
year, 1920.
However, exports in 1913 totaIed only 2,484 millions. So
1922, compared with 1913, showed an increase of "a per cent.
That just about matches the average increase of wholesale prices
since before the war. It again calls attention to the fact that
fluctuations in our foreign trade have been chiefly due to price
movements. It's a money hoax.

bill is before Congress for an international

perfect thing we have. next to mathematics.

1t is twentythlrd in line. Western lumber States will have much
