The best way to deal with Bolshe- vik Russia would seem to be to leave it entirely alone, and thus force it to a showdown of what its system of government can accomplish.

The educa- \tlonal department at Toronto might far better increase the salaries of from space, the teachings of such men as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir Oliver Lodge and others, have tracted the minds of many people | who are otherwise sensible. It is | conceivable that certain men and women, whom the war robbed of ali or nearly all they held most dear, might be expected to welcome any evidence that those they loved and {lost could communicate with them | | from the spirit world. Their minds | are distraught, and they readily grasp at any measure of relief. This recent tendency toward spiritualism | has, we are told, resulted in an |, alarming increase in insanity in | Great Briwin, where the cult has | gained considerable headway. A few days ago a Brooklyn, N.Y, | priest challenged the alleged com- | munications which Sir Oliver Lodge has had with spirits dn 'the other world, declaring that: ** 'Spiritism' is an American word, which has been coined by us and used in place of 'spiritualism,' and it is a black art and one of magic, Its chief purpose or element is that it has to do with evil spirits, and in {spite of what its expounders might say, intelligence cannot be eliminas ed: So long as we have intelligencs, spiritism cannot as a religion or a belief conquer the beliefs of every one. A : - "The first recorded mention of spiritism being practiced in this country was in 18563, when the Fox sisters, of Rochester, N.Y., told how it was possible to communicate with departed spirits, and as a result of the doctrines expouned by these so- called scientists we have to-day among us over 150 churches, and m addition over 1,500 public mediums, and {hose who believe in it look up- on it as a real religian with a real ritual. "Sir Oliver Hodge is a modern scientist and a fraud, and he is try- ing to create the impression thai there is an upper and a lower cham- ber in the soul. He, like all other mediums, will sooner or later be ex- posed. Most of these mediums be- lieve that Jesus Christ was an ex- pert medium, not a divine person. And with their belief they maintain. that the human soul is part of an in- finite belug; that upon death there is a transmigration of the soul and that it never dies. To their way of thinking, God really exists, but He is impersonal, that is to say, He is a blind force, and only those possess- ed with the keener sight 'can see Him, and, naturally, the existence of the souls of the spirits with whom they allege they hold conversation." It may be, as the Literary Digest points out, that there is some wire less system of telegraphy between this world and the next, but no ons has yet ammounced communication with Adam and Eve, and there are some skeptics who believe that we never will have long-distance con- verse with the pair responsible for all our troubles.

The lawyers gather in the kale that may be hid in safe or till; in vain the rightful heirs may wail--the dead man failed to make a will.
