SAME OLD STORY. The of Lynn has gone through one of those distressing afairs where Joss of life has taken place in con- i with 2 e\ & howse o Ws aged. Just what the circumstances of the orzanization conducting_th home are or’why it was sheliring the inmates.in an old frame bufdjng are not knewn, but it is indicajsd by the fact that it is believed the+fire started from the heater and thaf the flames prevented the use of the stair- way that improper protection K was given to those who lived there. In an institution of that char@éter 100 great care against fire cannot be taken. Wherever aged people 6r children are upder institutional espe every possible safeguard should be afforded. When fire proof structures| cannot be provided the closest atten- tion should be given to the surround- ing of stoves or heaters with suchf: protection that fires cannot be, gtart- ed, and In such places there should be more than one means of gett put of the building from every foor. Life is too dear to have it snuffed but by the failure to properly gro: vide against such a contingency, In such a home it is to be realizéd the inmates cannot be expected: belp themselves as might be" the case with younger peovle and such emphasizes all the more the need of using every possible means of pre- venting fire' and in addition th the supplying of adequate means of »scape. a Lymn has gone through the eXperi- | order that about 1500 additional em- ence of many other cities. If there has been a laxness on the part of the authorities in seeing that proper safety was afforded under such con- ditions in_that particular instance it may have its good effects in increas- ing the protection for others. It is a hogrible price some have to pay to draw attention to unjustified condi- tions but the road of experience is paved Wwith a great number of simi- lar cases. GOVERNMENT REVENUE. Tax dodging, like the methods that are taken to eircumvent other laws, is resorted to by large numbers of people, and especially do the intrica- cles of the income tax laws lend en- couragement in that direction. The: mysteries of the income blanks. es- pecially when the surtaxes come to be applied, are such that many hon- est mistakes can be made, but for that very same reasom those who are to beat the government find it an en- ticing fleld. In this connection it is Interesting to note that Internal Revenue Com- missioner Rope hag asked for an in- crease of three millien dollars in the appropriations for his department in ployes may be secured to earry out a comprehensive audit of tax returns. He bascs this request upon the belief that such an audit will ‘resdlt in se- curing an additional billion dollars for the government, and if he is jus- tified in the assertion from what he knows of the condition the expendi- ture would certainly be warranted. It is perfectly evident that if there are those whe are dodging the taxes levied by the government, - which means that just so much greater burden is to be placed upon the oth- ers, they should be ferreted out. It s unquestionably true that there will be found instances where the gov- ernment has been overpaid, as well as those where honest mistakes have been made, but when there is a hole in the revenue to such an extent as a billion there is no better way in which, the reduction. or the end, of the federal taxes levied as the result of the war can be hastened than by the gathering in of that shertage, whatever may be the reason for it. The close tax -audit that is desired ig something that iu all fairness should be previded for. When = the fovernment can get a thcusani dol- lars for every three that it spends ir that way it's geod business. DEALING WITH TURKEY, Turkey is doing everything within its power to.get.leniency frcm the allied nations. There is soi evi- dence that it is meeting witih a cer- tain amount of encouragement and that the rcasons which have been ud- vanced o permitting Turk2: to 1e- inain in rope and to k220 centrol of Constaxtinople have made’ a fa- yorable impression, but suca favor as it has been able to curry er such claims as it has been able to advance n its own favor get pracous little consideration from those who are unable to overlook or forgst the history of the terrible T-irk, “ Just at the present time much pressure is being brought to bear upon Great Britain regarding Turkey. Winston Churchill has for instance pointed out the army problems of the British, urged the necessity of estab- lishing a permanent peace, pointed out the fact that no progress has Deen made to that end in the past year, but urging that steps should not be taken which would drive the Turkish people to despair. There are others who are insisting that Tarkey should be dealt with as it deserves, that the time has come when an end should be put to such a menace to the safety and peace in that part of the world and to guard against any future trouble from such a source. Turkey hashad plenty of warnings. In fact it has received so many of them without seeing them carried out that it has come to be- lieve that they were simply meant for home consumption and not to be taken seriously. Pleading for one more chance will simply mean the continuance of past conditions. Expediency is what is causing some to favor leniency for Turkey, since there is fear of a holy war resulting if the Turks are driven| out of Constantinople which will spread throughout the east. Holy wars have been threatened before and it will be well to place no more cre-| dence in such an outcome than is actually justified. If is a time. when Turkey will try to magnify such a possibility to the last degree, espec- if it seems to impress.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Are Pants Vehicles? | Mr. Editor: Considering ‘the intri- cacies of the labyrinthic mazes into which the dry law exponents have become involved they are cogitating on the feasiblty, or the expediency of contending, that a_pair of pants came under the head of a vehicle. This allegation was born from the incident of a Chicago bank president carrying a flask containing cocktails in his hip pocket. g The aforesaid bank president was recently arrested by some federal pro- hibition agents when he was caught red-handed pulling the aforesaid flask from the aforesaid hip-pocket of the aforesaid pants and thereupon openly and brazenly concorting highballs for himseif and three companions. The federal agents arrested the banker on the grounds that the use of. a hip pocket as a conveyance where- in to carry liquor makes the banker's trousers a vehicle within the meaning and that the garment is_subject to seizure and sale. Heretofore these necessary tegu- ments have been regarded by man to function as wearing appargl only, and man's right to this claim *has hither- to_never been questioned. It would seem that the applieation of and extreme analogy of pants to ve- hicles could be brought no closer than that pants are worn on man's travel- ing equipment, or, perhaps, after be- ing worn an undue length of time by some wandering dereliets, a pair of pants might, being discarded, possess some of the elements of loco- motion somewhat akin to that of a ve- hicle. although, precisely speaking, a vehicle is supposed to meve on wheels or_runner Whether or not pants will become popular as vehicles is in the realms of conjecture. However, what is thought teday to be chimerical may tomorrow | be found to be practical. Who knows but what pants may, in_time, super- sede trolley cars as vehicles, especially in such winters as the present one. C. L. PERKINS. Hanover, Conn., Feb. 23, 1920, / Spiritism. Mr. Editor. In reading the letters of different . people on Spiritism, it is | strange tosae how any Bible student, or any one that knows the least thing of God’s word, can possibly help see- ing that J. W., who wrote the let- ter of the 12th, is correct in what he | has to say on this subject. Now I wonder h; many who read that let- ter looked up the passages of Scrip- ture he“gave on this very thing. Satan is very wily, and many are under the strong delusions spoken of in the Scripture. I am a Bible stu- dent. but don't get a chance to study | as often and as much as I would like to. But I have been taught what I know by a genuine student of God's word, One who, T fully believe (with thousands of others all over the world) was the messenger sent in this time to give meat in due season to the household of faith. (The man with i Spoken of in Eze. 9:2.) ow F. J. W. personally but I think he, also, has been or is a Bible student. He did not tell us he could cite find so and so in the Seripture but he found and sent it. We are well aware that_Spiritism is gain- ing a strong foothoid over many peo- ple in these days, but that is only an- other proof that God's word is the truth. It issjust what this fatihful messenger of Gad's word proved by that word. Tt would do. And we see very plainly since our eyes are opened that each prophesy is being fulfilled right before us who have had the love of the truth fulfilled in us. Now we know that we must put on the whole armor of God, “That ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, For our wrestlng s not aganst flesh and blood, but against the principali- ties, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places.” Eph. 6:11, 12, I'(Amercfln Standard revised version.) Let every one beware of testing these things. If they first do not have on this full armor, which is God’'s word. I never beleved in anything or a religion that one had to pay at the door 10 cents or 25 cents before they could get inside. But I tried it and nearly all the churches, and have listened to different evangelists, but T never found the meat I hunger- ed for until T found it in the Bible, through the keys and other writings of ths wonderful prophet of God, Our Heavenly Father, through Him gave us this key to His blessed Truth, which I, for one, would not take all lost all, my husband and my daugh- ter, who was dearer than my own life, but T would, not believe, and nothing could make ‘he believe in these awful things, for they are contrary to the only Word we have to go by. Let spiritual Israel hear the word of the Lord to fleshly Israel: When thou art come into the land which the Lord, thy God giveth thee, thou shall not learn do after the abominations the money in the world for. I have |8l or a charmer, or a consulter with fa- miliar spirits, or a_wizard, or a ne- cromancer, for all that do _these things are an abomination unto the Lord; and because of these abomin- ations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee Deut. 18:9-12. When they say unto You, Seck un- to them that have familiar spirits, and wizards that peep and mutter: Should not a people seek unto their God? On behalf of the living should they seek unto the dead?

Isa. 8:19- Satan’s lie to Eve is all there is to prove Spiritism by. ~ God told the couple in Eden that if they ate of the forbidden fruit, they should surély die. Satan said they would not surely die, and he and his conmsorts, the fallen angels are doing all they ean to make people believe this lie, that our dear ones are more alive tham ever.

Gleaned from Foreign Ex changes Officially, of course, there is peace, Dipiomatic relations are resumed. But the question is not so much political as social and commercial, and the Ger- man people will do well to understand from the beginning t adventures such as theirs eannot be obliterated by the signature of a document, and that the future depends upon themselves, They must recognize that. The Eng- lish people as a whole—magnanimous as we may justly claim them to be —have been taught by the Germans themselves to entertain a profound suspicion of everything German. No German need expect to be taken on trust any more. Henceforth he must prove his good faith.

Hardly.

Moreover, it would be a fitting re- minder of the war in which we ae- quired the country.
