P.T. NON-PLUSSED?
TO THE EDITOR OF "THE PRESS." Sir, —So says someono behind a very dhurchified "M.S." hedge. Why do the so people go muck-raking in th*> sewers and drains of "Spiritism" for their statistics and leave tho higher planes of psychic investigation severely alone? The reason is patent to even a non-legal mind. When a jury has to listen to a plea whioh depends on vilification and misrepresentation to bolster up a side, the jury begin to smell a. rat. Some years ago a statement was mado that there wero 10,000 Spiritualists in tthe U.S.A. asylums. The statistics wero audited and tho Spiritualists' total dropped to four individuals, while religionists and their loaders contributed a largo percentage of the inmates. Tho "seventy mediums" that "M.S." cites as rotters seems very shocking. I have been acquainted with nearly half seventy and have never had occasion to blush. Perhaps lam brazen. — Yours, etc., PETER TROLOVE.
