Lewis of St. Louis, Mo., in 1905 for violating tho federal boudiiig laws, aud his institution, the "People's U. S. bank," closed. Lewis induced tho deluded women he had persunded through his newspaper to purchaso his bank stock, to ex change the stock for his personal note, unsecured. As but 87 cents on the dollar could be returned to the people for bank stock, Lewis was enabled to secure it by promising par, and thereby secured tho cash coming to the stock holders. "When Lews' notes were due, he wanted to exchauge them, first for stock in his laud company, then in his pub lishing company, tlien in his now bank, organized uuder state laws, and not under federal supervision. Tho first in stallments of interest onthese notes were paid, none since. The Lewis notes-hlive been repeatedly presented for pay ment and paymctajpf used . - . . . Jf "Why does Mr:Bewis not ay these notes ? VTiy "does he not keep his word to the poor women ho induced to invest with him? Lewis has three main companies the printing com- pany,.the realty and building speculative company, and the People's Trust Co., the fiscal agent for the others as well as the - American Woman's League, which he has organ ized, presumably to supply fimds for operating tho others. The plans of the League is to induce all the women pos sible to hustle subscriptions to magazines, upon which the Lewis concern reaps a commission of fifty per cent. As soon as $52 worth of subscriptions has been secured, the hustler is made a member of the "Woman's League. If these subscriptions total enough, a club building will be built out of the proceeds for the women. The title to the club building remains in St. Louis. The money to build it is raised through the energy, of the wpm en of the locality. The Lewis concerns invest no capital but secure a building. The women who hustle enough subscriptions get the benefit of correspondence school instruction from St. Louis. Many women, however, start the work, but lose heart before securing sufficient subscriptions to entitle them to membership. They get no return for what they turn in. Members of the Women's League are supposed to sub scribe for the Woman's National Daily and other publica tions put out by the Lewis Publishing Co., in which they are advised to deposit their savings in the People's Trust Company, and to invest in the land and building company by continuing their subscription efforts. The scheme is an ingenious one, a wheel within a wheel, the machinery turned by the humble women of the country hustling for subscriptions. Of all classes of get-rich-quick sharks, the most con temptible is the get-rich-quick parasite who preys upon the small wage-earner and the inexperienced and impractical women of the countrv.

TTlIAT is psychic phenomina? The performance of snmnfliiTifr fhnf. lmfflps fhn TmmnTi iinflm-sffiTirlirHv nv something that material mind is trying to understand in the spiritual realm. For all ages the longing to peer into the supernatural has caused much controversy, much bitterness anl end less theories. The Bible is full of theories and any lind of argument can be backed up with excerpts from the great est book on earth today. Thousands of different religious sects are on omth with new ones constantly springing up. That we live in the age of miracles no one can doubt. Each new wonder is unfolded in rapid succession. Its worKs reveaiea ana as a rule tneir simplicity excites a passing comment and it passes off as a matter of fact. The phonograph, wireless telegraphy, flying machine and the thousand and one other almost inconceivable won ders ever astound the public mind for a day, then are ac cepted as a matter of fact to make room for the next and so on ad infinitum. Yet with all of these the one question above all that baffles the human race is, what is this life after tho change, called death? The pooh-poohing of a subject or drowning it in ridicule, does not solve it or explain it. , The mad race for wealth pursued to a finish with all the success imagin able simply ends in pursuing a phantom which ends at the change called death. Evolution in everything is constantly taking place in religion as well as material things. The human mind is a perplexity that no man can fathom, as it is in a constant state of evolution. Progressive thinkers step to the front with new ideas and are dubbed fakes, cranks, etc., yet the greatest philosopher that ever trod the earth was crucified for his advanced ideas. It is right and proper to investigate on any line that suggests itself to the human mind for the uplift of the human race and this will find its greatest help in tolera tion of religious ideas especially of tho races. This mys terious little journey called life is a mystery and may the time come when men of all creeds shall show great toler ation for each other, especially towards investigation that tends to solvo the riddle of the ages.

To the Editor t I rand in your pnpor recently un editorial on ono-nmn power and won dor if thoro in not somo way to lioittl J. P. Morgan off before ho owiih ti nil, I nm sending tho following that looks like tho right prescription if properly filled, by Eugene Dobs tin what ho would do if elected presi dent, p. M. NELSON. Hutto Falls, April 4. "If t wore prosldout I should utio alt tho power at my command to place the people, tho whole peoplo, in possession nnd control of tho railroads, telegraph, telephone nnd express, nil oporntod under tho su pcrvision and directions of (.'oininis- sioiih of first-clnxs experts in their rospoottvo hues, and I would itt the same time reach out for the coal mines, oil and gas fields and place them all in oontrol of the whale peo plo for the benefit of all. Of course, I would not overlook the packing plants nnd tho eold storage cunceriH I would put tho hoof trust out of bus inesH in jig tune, as I would all the rest pf tho trust, by transferring tho title deeds to the people in their col lective capacity and having them op orntod for the benefit of every man woman and child of the nation. "This program carried to its log ical conclusion would moan an in dustrinl democracy, the equal right of all to work and to produce wealth lor tneir own use and enjoyment. I would giro every woman tho right and opportunity claimed by man, sot her economically free and mako hor equal citir.on of tho indus trial democracy nnd tho social re public. I would at one stroke liber ate almost two million children from tho industrial pens in which they are now fca to tho inamott of capitalism nnd give them to tho playground the scnooi nnu university. mere are plenty of nblc-bodied men and ma chines to do all tho necessary work nnd produco all the necessary wenlth. I would uso.nll tar power to nhol ish the federal judiciary, as now con stitutcd, consisting wholly as it docj( of corporation attorneys, nnd os tauiisu minimus directly responsive to tho people. Anything less is des potism nnd not democracy. Congress could even now under capitalism nbolish tho entire federal judiciary, except the United States supremo court alone, and ought to do it, for the average federal judge today is simply the tool of tho cor porations that placed him there The appointment of "Private Car" Lurton to tho supreme bench by President Tnft is conclusive in this point. A more nmoct tcol never Borved tho corporations nt the ox pense of tho people, nor a more nor torious one, essentinlly qualifying him for tho federal judiciary under tho economic despotism of the American trusts. 'There ' nro other things that I would do but this would do for a be ginning., lhcsc nro thingn tho work ing class is organizing economically and politically to do nnd it is going to do thorn in good time. If tho con stitution or anything olso stands in tho way, tho social revolution will Hwocp it away hko cliafi trom tho track of progress. Tho political state in its subdivisions will bo abolished and the now industrial stato will supplant it and proclaim equal freedom to nil.
