"Shall We Live Again? "If a man die, shall he live again?" Job asked this question thousands of years ago. It was asked by men thousands of years before Job. It is the question we will be asking ourselves in the Easter services tomorrow. Men will always be asking it. And that is one of the reasons for believing when a man dies he will live again. Horses and cows do not worry about death. Birds have no fear of it. The fishes are afraid of pain, but do not seem to dread dying. Man alone has come to be big enough to feel the need of eternity. That need within him foreshadows the reality just as eyes prophesy light, the ears prove the existence of sound, the nervous system of material objects. It is the capacity for eternal life in the human soul that makes immortality probable, else nature has vilely deceived us. "But we can have no life without a brain," somebody said. John Fiske characterized this remark as a "piece of colossal silliness." The brain does not CREATE the mind; it merely TRANSMITS it. It is a telephone through which the soul communicates with the world.

Does the destruction of the telephone imply that

the one talking through it has been destroyed? "Yes, but there can be no life without a

material body. We can not see without eyes, or

hear without ears." Let us not be so sure. The greatest living psychologists accept "clairaudience" and clairvoyance" as .demonstrated facts.

Clairaudience is hearing without ears, claivoy-

ance is seeing without eyes. As for our body,

it is dying all the time. What has become of that body we had when a babe, when a child running barefoot, when an awkward youth at

school ?

"The universe is vast and powerful. It crushes us indifferently as though we were egg

shells." sav some. If it were the material uni

verse that created us, its apparent cruelty and

indifference might make us believe we amount

ed to nothing in its sight, but it is not the material universe that brought us into being. It was the Universal Spirit. It is this which is

the original reality and man is rooted in Spirit.

There is That in him which was before the

worlds were and which will survive the shock of

destruction and the war of forces. Death is

but an incident in his endless life. . :

"If a man die, shall he live again?" A few here and there have always said no. The greater majority have said yes. The great majority always will say yes, and we believe the great majority is right.

people into public affairs. And any plan that doesn't get them to make that entrance will fail.

' There is a way to capture the interest of ALL

the people in city government and keep them in

terested and that is to make PUBLICITY a recognized function of 'city administration.. ?

When a public meeting is to be held of great

importance, 'don't depend on fugitive and anony

mous newspaper notices; send a notice to every person individually and urge him to be there. When a new ordinance is passed, boil it down, print it on a card with a few added explanations as to what is expected of it and why it is neces

sary, and r put a copy in every house in Richmond. When a question of unusual importance is before the people, send out notices to them, explain the issues, urge them to think it over, to attend the meeting and to aid inits discussion. Evey person who serves the public will testify you have to meet the public MORE than half way. The merchant doesn't expect people to break into his store. He goes after them. If advertising. will make a private business go, it will make our public business go. And it doesn't suffice to tell the public once; we must never stop telling the public. The interests that lie in wait to graft on the public's money never sleep. "The printing and distribution of these cards and folders would cost money!" Not as much as might be thought. Enough could be collected at one enthusiastic mass meeting to pay for a year's publicity. It will be worth a thousand time all its cost in money. THE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW INTERESTING A GAME IS THE MANAGEMENT OF A CITY. WHEN ONCE THEY FIND THAT OUT, NOTHING WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP THEM AWAY.

Uninformed Councilmen. A number have expressed surprise that members of the council showed themselves so unin

formed concerning the transactions of the board of works. It seemed out city dads didn't know what improvements had been made or turned down or were in prospect of making. Nobody will question that all members of the city administration, if they have any sense of patriotism, will keep abreast of the activities of the city's affairs. Every councilman who has a sense of duty ought to make a continuous study of the daily events in the administration's work. This is what they ought to do. But have we much right to complain if they don't do it ? How can we expect that it would be otherwise than it is? How much encouragement does a councilman ever receive? If he errs, his neighbors make life miserable for him. If he does good work they don't open their mouths. How much interest can we expect in a job that pays about three dollars a week? How many who scold the councilmen would make their brains sweat for that magnificent sum? The city council was a necessary institution in its day, but its day is now past. To achieve the best results in our city government, we need a council of just five members on the job all the time, paid a salary that will command respect, as well as ability, and made responsible not to a political party but directly to the people.

Our Friend and Admirer

The latest dispatches from Mexico convey the information that Villa's last stunt was to deport eight hundred Spaniards. Of course he didn't send these folks over to Huerta : he didn't dump them into the Gulf of Mexico. He turned them over to us! We took care of them, fed, clothed, housed and protected them. Our agents

arranged to send them on to their friends and relatives and found homes and places of employment for those who had no friends and relatives. Whenever Villa wants anything, he calls on us. This is why the rebel, to quote the words reported by a friend of his, "dearly loves Americans." Why shouldn't he dearly love us? We give him whatever he asks for. He wanted us not to recognize Huerta. We didn't. John Bassett Moore, advisor to the state department, said all precedent and international law declared for recognition. European nations recognized him. Our own diplomats and statesmen demanded his recognition. The press of the country has been almost unanimous in advocating it. But Secretary Bryan and President Wilson wouldn't recognize him. Villa was pleased. When Villa's soldiers waged their guerilla warfare along the border, we let them enjoy themselves.- The department of state now has a grewsome list of Americans killed by Villa's men but nothing has been done. Villa loves Americans. He wanted all the facts kept secret. They are. Not even the foreign relations committee in congress has been able to pry off the lid. When Villa wanted American citizens to get out of the way of his pillaging, we ordered them home and told them if they remained in Mexico, they did so at their own risk. When Villa wanted arms and ammunition, we lifted the embargo. He gets all he wants. When

the Wilson-Bryan policy leads us to war, he will fight us with our own guns. The next thing we know, Villa will be sending his dead and wounded to us for care; indeed, he may move here himself. He would make a capital leader of the I. W. W. or, say, an able lieutenant to General Coxey. President Wilson loves Villa. Secretary Bryan loves Villa. That is why Villa "dearly loves Americans."

Elmer HJ. Lebo la at Terre' Haute today where tonight he will attend the last meeting of the Indiana dir. Ulon board of directors aa It Is now constituted. Before another session is called the election of new directors will hare taken place here at the state convention. Tonight's meeting In addition to being an Important one from the viewpoint of business that is to come up, will also give Brother Lebo soma Insight on the number of

visitors to be expected at the approaching convention. Estimates continue to grow and by the time the eventful day is here. Richmond may be literally filled up by the members of the Indiana division. Keeping apace with the train schedules is one of the delightful experiences of the boys on the road these days when railroad companies in their retrenchment policy think'no more of cutting off an old established train and thereby utterly destroying schedules than they once did In cutting down the number of cars to a train. The reduction of trains has put a serious crimp in the traveling schedules of many of the boys and thereby has increased the burdens of the "gay life on the road." Naturally enough discussion in the Post rooms these days is confined almost exclusively to convention plans, and the executive committee, which by the way, meets tonight as usual, is trying hard to put the finishing touches on the arrangements so that every detail will be made known days before the meeting begins. Perry J. Freeman, chairman of the committee in charge of decorations, has entered Into a contract with Beck & Son, of Cincinnati, to become the official decorators for the convention and a corps

That the two leading newspapers of Indianapolis were tied, gagged and controlled by the business interests during the street car strike there last November, is the gist of an article by Charles Edward Russell in Pearson's magazine for May. He declares the street car companies had watered their stock fifty-three million dollars and were driving their managers to pay dividends on this fictitious valuation. This meant low wages and long hours for the employes. They organized in August, 1913, to protect themselves against this oppression and finally, since their appeals were unavailing, went on a strike. "But only one newspaper," writes Russell, "the Indianapolis Sun, reported these things. The Sun had lately changed hands. Its new proprietorship had no interest in labor organizations and at that time little enlightenment as' to fundamental social conditions. But it thought news was news and to be printed, so it reported the beatings, maulings and shootings by the thuga of the street railroad company as it would have reported similar outrages by anybody else. Sends Ultimatum. "Thereupon the head of a firm that is one of the heaviest advertisers in Indianapolis, a great and well-known department store, sent for the editor

A. button, with the lettering in gold, and with incandescent electric lamps studding the outer circle and the letters. The "button" will be six feet in diameter and suspended high above the heads of the assembled banqueters and well to the west end of the great hall, the effect at night promises to be exceptionally pleasing to the eye. Decorative schemes of this nature come high, but so do T. P. Aconventions, and as Col. John Hegger says: "Go to It boys, for we've got the mun."

Prints the News. "On November 1, the street car men struck. The Sun took neither side in the controversy. It had no particular

sympathy with the men; it stood merely for fair play and to print all the news In sight. On November 4th, the strike continuing and the public inconvenience being great, the Sun. in an editorial, urged arbitration. The people took up the suggestion, a huge public meeting endorsed it, clergymen reiterated it, and the company was forced to yield. It bad in the beginning announced, as such companies commonly announce, that it had nothing to arbitrate. On this point it was now driven to surrender." This strike, the writer avers, caused

the Chamber of Commerce to form a "safety committee." "The committee proceeded to give to the newspaper representatives explicit instructions as to the course their journals were to pursue in the new emergency; what should and what not be printed. "The Sun declared that it would heed no such Instructions, and that so long as the men were willing to arbitrate their grievances they had not broken the agreement-. The editor of the Sun said so in plain terms in print." Imports 300 Gangster. The "safety committee," says Russell, imported about three hundred gangsters who, "in flagrant violation of two state statutes," had been sworn in as special police. "For the most part they were mounted; all were heavily armed. Their function was to charge upon citizens, beating and shooting, that they might create such a reign of terror that pub

lic opinion would force an ending of the strike. "In these operations they killed four persons. One was a colored elevator boy. He was walking along the street to his work and was shot down by gunmen from a wagon half a block away. "None of tire perpetrators of these murders was prosecuted. "The Sun reported these things and protested against them "Then the merchants called an indignation meeting against the Sun. denounced it and demanded a rigid boycott of its advertising columns. "Immediately all the local business advertisements dropped out of the Sun."

YOUR attention it respectfully caHed to an important point not generally known, that a laxative should have a tonic element to successfully meet constipation. Mr. John B. Capers, of (13 Pecan St, Fort "Worth, Texas, had a sU niflcant experience In this particular. He was afflicted with a sever case of constipation and bowel trouble. He spent a good deal of money In trying, to find a remedy. To his astonishment. Peruna very Quickly relieved him of his bad

symptoms. This happened a number of years

ago. Since then, Mr. Capers states j

that he has bad

similar attacks of trouble, the prominent symptom of which Is constipation, and has always found prompt and efficient relief from Prrjina. He says: "Up to the Urn I Martcd using- your Peruna I could

no good. Aa for salts, they were of no use. Physics ef all kinds and classes were used, but we had to call on the fountain syrtng-e for help." Peruna wu able to correct this condition completely In Mr. Capers case, and there is every reason to believe that It was the tonic qualities of Peruna, added to the laxative qualities, that procured this very desirable result.
