Some there are, however, who are less well poised, who are more tem-| peramental, more highly strung emo- | tionally, who are not able to dismiss | what they think they experience or! witness. They seek light where it} promises to be found, and become, more often than not, the victims of those who are ready to prey upon their credulity and their desires. These are the sufferers from the wave of occultism that has been sweeping the world since the tragedies of the war turned the thoughts of all to the | dead. There is, on this account, a very grave responsibility upon the editors of those publications of the type that are generally called the "home" magazines, to protect their readers against this tendency of the times. There should be full assurance of the honesty, at least of intent, in the author, a guarding against contribut- ing to the fraud into which demon- strations 'rom the spirit world usually resolve themselves.. There have been recently, in magazines of the highest reputation, articles that are based upon actual scientific research into psychic phen- omena. These are usually of a tone to discourage lelief in the super- natural source of the demonstrations described and are legitimate, More- , over they are not read by the un- . thinking and are not , therefore, like- ly to be mischievous. The unsupport- ed tales of mysterious rappings, automatic writing and . ouija board wonders ought to be thought of by, editors in the light of the effect that they are going to have upon a large body of uninformed, credulous read- ers rather than of the influence they may exert upon the sale of the pub- lication. Austria's Challenge Austria is tired of trying to bring order out of the chaos that the war has left and is ready to submit her- self to government by the entente. It is a surrender complete in its character but it puts upon the allied countries a responsibility that will not be readily assumed. It is no easy matter to reorganize a country in which every institution has been destroyed. It isn't easy for those who love and understand the people to be affected by the new organization. To bring about a healthy condition, under which a 'country may grow .to a better. state than has been enjoyed in the past, is no small order for those who have so recent a record of enmity. But it! offers a challenge to the sincerity | be singled out for endurance of ills ing public. Help For The Middle West | The Middle West seems always 2 which people of other sections are | spared. During the war we grew! accustomed, if not reconciled, to hav- ing the Mississippi river the dividing | line between shortage and plenty. Now it is the East that enjoys a com- parative abundance of coal, because | of the continued operation of the an- thracite mines. It is encouraging to the people of this section of the country to know that an effort is to be made to effect an even division of the nation's sup- ply of coal and that we shall share and share alike with sections more favored, as well as with those that are less favored, than we. Gloves "An Oasis Of Content" Switzerland is described as"an oasis of content" in the midst of unrest, a very pleasant prospect of a nation. The conspicuous feature of the re- cent history of Switzerland has been a disposition to attend strictly to its own business, and really to attend to it. That might be a hint fo other governments that content lies in careful administration of domestic] affairs with a little less eyeing of what other peoples are doing.
