A CLEAR ISSUE BY DR. FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 1919, by Frank Crane) Mayor Peters, of Boston, speaking on the policemen’s strike in that city, and explain- ing why he opposed the demands of the policemen’s union, said; “The issue today is whether the police of the city shall remain an independent force | under the sole orders of the representative of the whole people or whether they should pass under the control of one particular body of its citizens—a body not responsible to the people of Boston. “To this I am just as much opposed as I should be to handing the government over to the bankers, the lawyers or any other class in the community. I do not mean that any just levances which the members of the police force may have had should not receive fair consideration. They should, of course, be treated fairly both as to pay and as to hours and conditions of work. “But it is unthinkable that such actions should be sought or obtained by the police through violation of their oaths of office or refusal to perform their plain duty to the community.

The two theories are as absolutely oncilable as Kaiserisrn and Americanism, A policemen’s strike means plain Bolsh It is labor unionism gone mad. The vice president of the American Fede! wisely says that his organiza tion “discourages all government employe from striking.” American public opinion is inclined to fi but such incidents as the Bos- | ton strike operate to change that sentimenj tain knowledge that they are gem uine has not yet been made mani- fest. All that one can do, probably, is to keep oneself in tune with the God of the spirit world, and ask Him to speak to us thru such a medium as He may select, and to be open- minded to such truth as May come And this conviction remains long after the period when he was fright ened by “ghost atories.” With nome this belief results in fear of meeting a “spirit” alone in the dark, with the consciousness that the weapons they would ordi-/| nasly use against a physical enemy are entirely useless, even tho! they sure that “spirits” must be altogether harmless, With others there's a longing that ne who has gone ahead to the spirit world will come back and in some way make himself known, “Try the spirits whether they are | to us thru the reverent, sincere study of God,” is one New Testament in- | Junetion.
