THE HUMAN BRAIN.
It Neither Originates a Word Nor
Forms q Notion.

Those physiological and surgical
facts which show that brain matter
has itself no capacity for thought
are of such recent discovery that
only relatively small number of
persons-mostly specialists have
the least idea that the brain neither
originates word nor forms a notion.
Anatomy and physiology alike in
dicate that the brain is never other
than the instrument of what-in the
present state science--must be call
ed the personality" The person
ality is as different from, as separate
from, the brain as the violinist is
separate from his violin. 1t is not
brain which makes man. Man
makes one of his brain hemispheres
human by his own labor. If a
human personality entered young
chimpanzee's brain-where by the
way. it would find all the required
cerebral convolutions-that ape
could then grow into a true inventor
or philosopher, for it is the great
brain which makes the great man.
This is another way of saying that
we can make our own brains-sc
far as special functions or aptitudes
are concerned. Human brain mat.
ter does not become human in. its
powers, indeed, until the personality
within takes it in hand to fashion
it.
What is the che himself which
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1907-06-26

thus takes the mechanism known as
the brain and uses it for thought
purpose, as telegrapher would use
a ticket and a series of wires for the
transmission of messages? In the
present state of anatomy and of
pathology, replies DR.. Thompson, in
effect we have here the greatest
mystery connected with the con-
scious personality. We know that
the conscious PERSONAL---VERY. what
ever one chooses to call it-has a
material organ to think with. The
conscious personality does the
thinking. The material organ is
the instrument of thought, and the
material organ exists in two sym
metrical halves. 1t is only one-half
of this organ, however, which can
be used for speech or for recogniz-
ing or knowing anything which is
either seen or heard or touched-in
the sense Of the touch which is edu-
Gated.
All acquired human endowments
therefore are acquired by modifica-
ton of the material comprising the
speaking half of the brain. This
speaking half of the brain did not
originally have a single one of
these great functions, not a single
place in it for them, any more than
it's fellow hemisphere has to the end
of its life. They are all stamped, as
it were, each in its respective place
in the speaking hemisphere, by a
single creative agency. All words
and all knowlege are put in the
brain and arranged there for use,
like so many books on their brain
shelves by the brains librarian.
Where he goes when he locks this
library up and leaves for the night
in sleep-we do not know. But
one thing is certain-not one of the
books made itself or put itself where
it properly is.-Curren5 Literature.

Bandit Dies.

Raymund Garcia, outlaw and four
times murderer, was shot and kill
ed by Constable Mobley Meadows at
Calexico, California, as the desper-
ado was preparing to leave the
country. Garcia's wife betrayed
her husband to the officers to avenge
the wrongs she had suffered at his
hands and the brutal murder of
her half-brother.
Garcia was born in Spain. He
was well educated and had the man
ners of a gentleman. Under the
guise of a rich Arizona mine own
er he wooed and won for his wife
a pretty young stenographer in an
attorneys Office in Los Angeles, who
eloped from her home here to fol-
low the outlaws fortunes.
AT that time Garcia was twice a
murderer, but this was not known
at the time Of the elopement. After
ward the young wife's half-brother
accompanied her to Garcia's home
near Mecca.
Last summer Garcia stole several
horses near Mecca, and when the
owner took up the trail to recover
his stock he was ambushed and
shot. Garcia then told his wife and
her brother that they would all be
killed if they remained on American
territory and induced them to go
with him to an Indian camp across
the border.
Becoming frightened because he
thought the young man knew too
much and might tell of his misdeeds,
he tied him up to tree and slowly
starved him to death. His wife he
tied to another tree facing the young
man and compelled her to witness
his sufferings, giving her only
enough food to sustain life.
When the yonng man died Garcia
compelled his wife to dig grave
and bury the body, and he then
took the young woman to a cattle
camp, where he secured for her the
place of cook.
About this time the officers got on
the track of Garcia and in fight
Julio Martinez was shot and has
been in the hospital ever since. He
probably will lose his arm, if not
his life, as a result of his wound.
A few days ago Garcia stole sever
al horses and made his preparations
to leave the country, intending to
make his way to Ensenada and from
there go down into Old Mexico.
His wife notified the officers where
he could be found and he was sur
prised and shot by Constable
Meadows, who was accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff Jake Meadows. The
desperate was game to the last and
tried to get his weapons, but the Of
ficers we're too quick for him and he
was shot down in his tracks.

Hartman the "Uudesirable. /"

Is there a politician in America,
other than President Roosevelt, who
would have the courage to link to.
gether the names of Hartman the
railroad king, and Meyer, Haywood
and Debs the labor leaders, as types
of undesirable citizens? Mr.. Roose-
velt has done just that, but would
Senator Foraker, Senator Aldrich or
Senator Spooner on the one side, and
Senator LaFollette, W. j. Bryan
or Mayor Tom johnson on the
other dare to make such comparison
and risk the consequences of offend
ing in one sentence the representa-
tive of the most powerful aggrega
tion of capital, and the represent
atives of great section of organized
labor on the other?-Wall Street
Journal.
Unquestionably Messrs. Foraker
Aldrich and Spooner would not in
innate that Hartman is an "unde-
sirable citizen" ind evidently Mr..
Roosevelt would not have done it in
1904 when he was accepting Hari-
mans money as contribution to the
Roosevelt campaign fund.
With all their kindly feelings for
Mr.. Roosevelt, the American people
can not overlook the fact that he
did not call Hartman undesirable"
until after tie Hartman letter was
made public.
1t doesn't require extraordinary
courage for powerful man to place
a brand upon men who are behind
the bars, although many people
have questioned, and many people
will question, the propriety, or the
fairness of an attack made by the
president of the United States upon
men who are about to undergo trial
for their lives. There is suspicion
abroad that Mr.. Roosevelt's latest
epistle on the Moyer-Haywood aft
air was desperate attempt to make
the best of a very bad situation in
which Mr.. Roosevelt plunged HIM
self, when he dragged the names of
the imprisoned labor leaders into
the Hartman CONTROVERSY.
The less Mr.. Roosvelt's friends
say about this sorry affair the better.
1t is probably true that neither
Senator LaFollette, Mayor johnson
or Mr.. Bryan would have linked
together the names of Hartman, the
railroad king, and Meyer, Haywood
and Debs, the labor leaders as types
of.undesirable citizens"
1t isS also probably true that
neither LaFollette, johnson or
BrYsd would have been willing to
be elected to an office of trust f.
nanced by the railroad king who
was "My Dear Mr.. Hartman, " while
he mas raising funds for Mr.. Reose.
tevelt's campaign only to become the
undesirable citizen after his letter,
complaining of the ingratitude of
princes had become public property.

Speech.

Talk happiness. The world is sad enough
Without your woe. No path is wholly rough
Look for tho places that are smooth and clear
And speak of them to rest the weary ear
OF earth; SO hurt by one continuous strain
OF mortal discomfort and grief and pain.
Talk faith. The world Is better off without
Your uttered Ignorance and morbid doubt.
II you have faith 10 God. or man, or seIf.
Say so; II not, push back upon the shelf
OF silence all your thoughts till faith shall come
No one will greve because your lips are dumb
Talk health. The dreary, never ending tale
or mortal maladies is worn and stale:
You cannot charm nor Interest or please
By harp ng on that minor chord. disease.
Say you are well or all is well with you,
Aud God shall hear your words and make them
true. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox

The Keokuk Gate City says that
the "Hon. George d. Perkins who
made fine record for himself as a
member of the Iowa delegation in
congress from the Eleventh district
says in his Sioux City Journal that
congressional service is chiefly de-
ilightfull in what people who have
never been to congress think about
it. 'The business of the average
member he says sis to do chores
and to suffer more or less indignity
by being led around by the nose"
The late Sam Clark held similar
view and was no less frank in voic-
ing it. If anyone imagines that to
be the peoples representative in
the house at Washington is to en-
Joy what is known in common par
lance as "snap," all he has to do
is to gain the experience to be dis
illusioned. Mr.. Perkins speaks from
personal knowledge, and his testi-
mony is directly in line with that of
others qualified to speak with au-
thority."

Judge Mcpherson, at Kansas City
last Thursday granted the petition
Of the eighteen Missouri railroads
for temporary order restraining
the state officials from putting into
effect both the maximum freight
rate and the 2-cent passenger rate
law. The action of the railroad
companies is the result Of the deter
mination reached in Chicago recent
ly to fight the 2-cent fare law in five
western states. 1t is said here that
similar action may be begun in Iowa
before long. This would have the
effect of temporarily at least preven-
ting the going into effect of the low
er rates soon due, according to the
law recently passed in the Hawkeye
state,

Pension Commission Warner re-
ports that during April 3,616 Civil
war pensioners died, and that dur
ing the same month S82 names were
added to the pension roll. The cost
of pensions to the nation has prob
ably passed its maximum, in spite
of the new service pension act. which
adds approximately $l5,000,W0 a
year to pension disbursements. Com
missioner Warner expresses the con-
yiction that hereafter the depart
ment will ask for smaller annual
appropriation than it has heretofore
done. Death is steadily thinning
the ranks of the veterans of the
great civil conflict.

The Monkey Fire Brigade with Gentry Bros Shows September 9th

are thoroughly prepared for the COM
ing Of 1.-The dog and pony show for
mally announced as Gentry Brothers
Famous Shows. United, which are to
exhibit in this city tomorrow.
Ever since the first announcement
of the shows coming, the parent who
happens to hold the purse strings in
each family in and about the Garden
City, has been beset by overtures more
or less direct, looking to such a loosen
Jig as would get the small fry under
the Gentry canvaSses at least once
while the shows are here.
A Big Little Feature.
Added to the superior attractive
MES and monkeys, has been the wide
ly spread knowledge that the only and
original Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb, hap
PLY known to three generations OF
amusement lovers as the cleverest and
most entertaining little woman alive,
is also with the Gentry shows. 1t has
been announced that the famous little
woman is accompanied by her pres
ent husband, Count Primo Magri and
his brother, Baron Magri, making
group OF diminished thirds which
promises to excite the admiral ior. as
we'll as the curiosity of all ages of
circuSd evoteeS.
Since no trained animal exhibition
is without an elephant, providing such
exhibition is properly constituted. the
Gentrys have added five performing
pacyaderms to their collection since
last the shows were seen here. And
then there will be "Oklahoma," an
American born and bred baby camel,
a half-dozen baby ponies, some of
them barely able to walk, and groups
Of trained pigs, sheep and geese. Sew
eral acrobatic features have also been
added to the Gentry shows playing to
big audiences which continually voice
their approval. a verdict which is
rendered in full measure by the press.
Fine Parade Tomorrow.
Like all complete and we'll regulated
tented shows. the Gentry Brothers
make much of their mile-long parade
il. which the miniature horses, minia-
ture cages. miniature chariots and the
dogs of all sizes and degrees will ira
verse the principal streets in what has
frequently been pronounced the pref
test circus parade ever produced.
The shows will arrive on their
special train from Pendleton early to-
morrow morning and the parade will
leave the show grounds at 10 o'clock.
Owing to the waning of the circus
season the Gentry shows will undoubt-
eddy be the last seen in this vi
cinity this summer.
