OF DREAM . and Those Who Know The Phantoms of the Night. (New York Sun). The theory expounded by Mr. Sher- lock Holmes that the human mem- ory is like a rack of pigeonholes and will hold just so much and no more is not shared by Dr. Israel Bram of Philadelphia. In article in the Medical Record Bram prefers to believe that the memory holds an al- most infinite number of records. He even entertains, not accepts, the theory that all of a person’s past life is in the memory, “preserved even to the most infinitestimal details, and that we forget nothing.” All that we have felt or seen, willed or thought, remains with us, phantoms in ob- depths. And from this, Dr. believes, comes the inconsist- of dreams. day we have controlled our summoning to the mouth of of subconsciousness those phantoms needed work and pla Night comes and these phantoms cease to outrank the older children of the past. The law of human will removed from the inhabitants of the cave and dream anarchy reigns. The zirl you loved at 9, the boy you hated, the dog that lay at the door of the mill, the big blizzard, the trip to the Chicago fair, the first night as a gal- lery god, the hear saw in the woods, the man in the gut- ter, all these come crowding to the cavern’s mouth and pleading to be known. But in the crush they are distorted and the phantoms blend. as pictures on a screen. The zirl may be in the blizzard, the bear in the sgal- lery and the dog on the Midway. It is not the important events that reach the open first. You may never dream of your marriage, but the face of a stranger who had lost the tip of his left ear comes aften, Another reason giten by D for the inconsistency of our is that in a dream we are indifferent not incapable of it. “T at the risk of seemin that the mistake of the dreamer is often in reasoning too much.” TInstead of remaining a mere spectator the dreamer tries to think t out, and his explanation, “intended to hind together incoherent images, can be nothing more than a reasoning " Persons who never dream are those trained to active attention and con- centration, who pass from the prosy activities of life to sound sleep, ing a stone before the mouth of cave of the phantoms.

The election has been a liberal education for hundreds.

The same people Who previously had but a vague idea of how the electoral college was clected how it worked to name the president and what votes each state has .are now able to argue with the best in- formed on the subject.

Great Newspaper Which Fought Wil- son Claims He Is Strongest Man Politically In On the election night, when the re- turns from those states which have hitherto been regarded as pivotal in national campaigns indicated a majority for Mr, Hughes, The Tribune editorially wrote of the result that it was a repudiation of Mr, Wilson and an answer to his declarations of policy and purpose. The returns which have subsequently been re- ceived have demonstrated clearly that The Tribune was mistaken in its con- clusions and that, far from a repudia- tion of Mr. Wilson, the returns that are now at hand constitute the most remarkable personal indorsement that has come to a gemocratic president since the days of Andrew Jackson. It is relatively a minor thing whether the few hundred votes that will decide the electoral votes of Cali- fornia and Minnesota fall to Mr. Wilson or to Mr. Hughes. The very fact that these great republican states have been in doubt to this moment indicates the extent of the failure of the republican candidate and his par- ty and not less clearly the amazing triumph of Mr. Wilson, There is a tendency to overesti- mate the influence of the west in the decision and to ignore the verdict of the east, of New England in par- ticular.
