HUNT BROTHERS
SCHEME FOR CANDIDATES.,

"A representative business man, a
man who has the best interests of the
city at heart, who has taken great
interest in the city charter, makes a
suggestion that will be given some con-
sideration by the public, and is likely
to have the approval of some people.
This gentleman, a Democrat politi-
cally, suggests that public mass meet
ing of all citizens irrespective of politi-
cal utilization, shall be held, and dis
cuss candidates for City Councilmen
under the provisions of the new char
ter. The debate, it is suggested, should
be upon the merits of the men, and
their particular and peculiar fitness for
the place. Let the argument be fair,
open and frank, having in view the
kind of men who can be elected, the
men who would appeal to the voters.
1t is further proposed that this mass
meeting after giving all consideration
possible, select. seven of the most avail
able men, choosing them upon basis
OF five Republicans and two Democrats
giving minority representation in ac-
cordance with the relative standing of
the two political parties in the city.
After naming these seven men it is
proposed that every good citizen will
go out and make public appeal for
the support of these candidates ire
spective of parties, and not consider
any other proposition made by the
politics of either party.
1t is urged in support of this PROPOSE
t1on that politics will be, as far as
practicable and possible, divorced
from municipal affairs. The Republi-
cans named in this sort of mass
meeting would be as much the can
didates of the Democrats as of the
Republicans, and the Democrats named
for minority representation would be
the candidates of the Republicans.
Another we'll known Democrat, he a
business man, too, suggested that the
mass meeting might name four Repub-
i1cans and three Democrats holding
that this would be more nearly non
partisan. The first named Democrat
says that the larger representation for
the majority party, in his opinion,
would be more likely to have less oppo-
Fsition--from politicians.
In studying this proposition as ap-
piled to the charter, it might be sug-
gested that the three highest candidates
upon the ticket should be elected for
three years. The fourth and fifth
highest candidates will be chosen for
two years. The remaining two are for
one year.
Next year two men are to be elected
for terms of three years. 1t will be
seen that under this proposition the
majority party would not be likely to
be giving away political control, if
politics was later forced in the situa-
tion, provided the first division was
made upon basis of five Republicans
and two Democrats.
whether or not this proposed mass
meeting will ever materialize, it is
fact that the people of Bridgeton are
apparently becoming much interested
IN the proposition of getting the proper
men for the new Council, and it is not
unlikely that by the time candidates
are named, there will be much interest
and enthusiasm in the suhiect

NO LIMIT TO Development OF

Head of School to Be Established at
Hollywood Asserts Children's
Teaching Is Inade-
quate

Vast possibilities of building OF
brain structure and the development
of the human race through this same
upbuilding of brain structure were
pointed out in a striking discourse by
DIR, Leon Ebert Landone, president of
the Institute of Applied Sciences and
Arts and founder of the new school for
development of children at Hollywood.
in his lecture at Blanchard hall yes
terday morning
1.-THE Brain, the Instrument or Image
Through which the Individual Ex-
presses was the subject of the dis
course.
"There is no limit, absolutely" said
DR.. Landone. "to soul manifestation If
only you give it a chance-that is, If
you remove all distractions.
brain structure can be built in
human beings, even more easily than
in the case of dogs or snakes, with
which it has been done. And the pos
sibilities are so unlimited in this di-
rection that no conception of their
magnitude is possible.
1.-The dynamo, that miracle-whence
does it get it's power? From the uni
verse surrounding it. The most con-
sentative of scientists admit that there
are millions and millions of brain cell
structures undiscovered: we have been
working with but thin layer of this
mighty brain structure.

| tioning, discriminatory and con-
sciously-not hit or miss"

away from the manifestations of the
brain-and that is by death. Every
type of energy, over and over again.
is seeking constantly to find a matter
| through which to make manifestation.
Nov Prof. James theory is the lat
est, that brain and mind are co-ex-
istent; one did not form the other,
! and yet they are found together always.
I'm case of deficiency we can teach
the brain to distinguish what 1t could
not distinguish before. In collie dog
we taught it 10000 functions regarding
color in one years time, although not
1850 different shades of color, under
stand.
"And yet the old methods of teaching
were capable of imparting to a child
in d kindergarten but thirty function
| ings in color a year, they tell us.
| "Those functions upon which race
development depends in turn depend
| upon brain structure.
Energy depends upon matter only
| for manifestation.
"The soul, believe me, is without the
body and is moving through the body
not inside the body.
when energy enters the brain CEN
ters the latter become saturated with
energy. Various nerves are associated
| through the constant using. The brain
of that collie which we had taught
along color lines showed after death
that the nerves of sight and hearing
were doubly connected"

Attacks on the Bank.
During tile riots led by Lord George
Gordon in London in June. 1880. because
of the passage of the bill Of federation for
the relief of the Roman Catholics from
the legal restrictions under which they
suffered. the Bank of England was at
tackled by mob. 1t was defended for
several days by the clerks of the estab-
lishment and volunteers. who melted the
inkstands. the water pipes and all the
lead to be found in the building, and cast
their own bullets. Since that date a mill
tary force has been stationed in the bank
every night, and a bountiful dinner and

The inhabitants of that city fed en-
masse but he was routed at Culloden
and the insurrection collapsed. During
this run the managers of the bank re-
sorted to a trick that proved successful.
They distributed agents of their own
among the crowd with checks of de-
positors. and when they reached the
cashiers window they demanded their
money in small silver-half-crowns. shil-
iings and sixpences. The delay in salts
flying these fictitious demands was so
great that the excitement was over be-
fore the bottom OF the money chest was
reached
Another memorable run occurred in
February 1891. during a threatened in
vasiOn of London by the French. On this
occasion the privy council of the kingdom
issued an order prohibiting the bank from
pa ying any person more than EGO at one
time.
