Always have distinguished friends.
Never have fools for friends. They are

To govern men sou must either excel

To rule men we must be men. Our

MENTAL REACTION.
The Minds Quickness Of Operation
and How II L. Measured.

Let a dozen or twenty persons take
hold Of hands I'm a ring. Each Il to
press the hand of his right hand neigh
Dor as soon as he receives n pressure
from the left. One person starts the
pressure going and at the same instant
observes the position of the second
hand of n watch. The pressure passes
all around the circle. and when it ar
rives at the originator he notes how
many seconds were required for the
given number of persons I'm succession
10 receive an impression and make up
their minds to act in response. The
total time is then divided 10y the num-
Der Of persons. This is a crude illus
tration Of the reaction time which we
measure with great accuracy on single
persons.
As the mental portion of the reaction
time becomes more complicated the
time becomes longer. For example,
the processes OF mental discrimination
and choice require times Of their own.
The way we get these higher" mental
processes can be Illustrated In a sim
pie way. \ person placed in a quiet
room Is TO tap telegraph key every
time he sees a red light, which can he
produced at the will of the expert
menter in the recording room. The in
tCryal OF time between the actual ap-
pearauce of the light and the moment
the key is tapped is accurately meas
urcd. For awhile nothing but the red
light is used, this TO obtain the simple
reaction time. Then red and yellow
lights are turned ON in irregular sue.
ccssion. The person has now to dis.
criminatc between two colors and 10
choose between action and nonaction.
The increase Of time required over the
simple reaction time gives the dis
elimination time for two colors. In AN
other set of experiments three colors are
used, then four colors. As the discrim.
ination and choice become more com.
plicated more time is required.
The Importance of rapid and accurate
reaction and discrimination Is evident.
Astronomers have difficulty in record
ing the moment at which a star passes
Il line in the telescope. The sports

DEMOCRATS
AT ADA ACT
OPPOSE APPOINTMENT OF coUN
TY OFFICERS IN TERRITORY.
BY the Governor Of oklahoma-Be.
ieve Such an Act Would Damage
Business conditioe-By Reso-
luton Condemn Such Action.

The following are the resolutions
adopted by the Democratic Club OF
Ada, I. r., February 20, 1906:
Whereas, We believe that there is
now a move being made by certain
Republican officials in Oklahoma and
Indian Territory to have the laws of
Oklahoma extended over and put in
force in Indian Territory, and to have
the present governor Of Oklahoma to
appoint twelve county officers in each
subdivision now called recording dis.
tricts:
And whereas, We believe that such
action would work great hardship
upon the people of Indian Territory
and that such a change at this time
would greatly damage our business
Eonditions, and would materially re-.
7tard our prospects for Joint stateho) l
with oklahoma;
And whereas, as an excuse for such
action the promoters of said scheme
are asserting that the dissolution Of
the tribal governments will leave In.
dian Territory in a state of chaos;
Therefore, be It resolved, by the
Ada Democratic Club, mass meeting
1st. That we unqualihedly condemn
such action as being menace to the
few rights we are now permitted to
enjoy, and to our business interests
2nd. That we urge our friends in
congress to use all honorable means
10 defeat any such measure being en-.
hcted into a law.
Sd That we denounce as untrue
Ind misleading any assertion that ;he
alissolution of the Indian tribal gov
Frnments will in any way affect tho
social, business or political status of
hny of the white citizens of the In.
Gian Territory.
