nothing to it. The American wage

The MEANING of Dreams.

1t Is well known. for example, says
zine, that dreams have stimulated men
to remarkable intellectual achieve
ments, and have even supplied the ma
terial for these achievements. Thus.
Coleridge composed "Kubla Kahn" in
dream. Tartini got his Devils
Sonata" from a dream in which the
devil appeared and challenged him to
a musical competition. 1t was dream
that gave Voltaire the first canto Of
his Henriade," and Dante's "Divina
Commedia" is likewise said to have
been inspired by a dream
Many novelists, on their own adj
mission, have obtained the plots for
some Of their best works from mate
rails provided in dreams A particu-
larly impressive instance is that Of
Robert Louis Stevenson, whose Chap
ter on Dreams" in his book, Across
the Plains" should be read by all who
would learn what dreams can do for a
man intellectually. The solution of
battling mathematical problems, the
ideas necessary to complete some in
vention, have been supplied by dreams.
Occasionally the dreamer has been
known to rise in his sleep and jot
down the information thus acquired.
In such cases he usually forgets all
about the helpful dream, and on awak-
ing is greatly surprised at finding the
record he has made of it. Which
shows that-as with the visions so po-
tently influencing health-it is posi-
bic for dreams to aid a man in an
intellectual way without his being con-
sciously aware of them.

All women seem alike in their love
of a sensation. They must have some
picturesque element in their lives; and
If nature declines to supply it, they
invoke the aid of art.
Numbers of men are quite content
to plod on in the same rut. Day after
day they can see the same people, go
to the same places, do the same things
without grumble. No woman is like
this. She yearns to be enthusiastic,
to be deeply moved. to discover mys-
teries even when there are none While
a man falls in love because he can't
help it, woman very often begins to
do so mainly out of inquisitiveness

eagerness and curiosity, supplies a

questionable brain of man. She sug-
gests, and he carries out the ideas

special virtues are perseverance and
concentration, and an irritating habit
of sticking to a thing impossible to the
more superficial sex.

TAFT ON THE BOYCOTT.

In his speech at Portland Mr.. Taft
said some sensible things about boy
colts. declaring that they are ille-
gal, and ought TO be suppressed, and
adding: Il would never cOuntenance
a law which recognizes their legality
and have not hesitated to say SO, but
l do not think the way to suppress
them is to take a Federal statute that
was intended for another evil and
make it apply to them. If the stat
ute Is changed in the manner which
l suggest the letter of the statute will
not cover their cases. The labor unions
say they want a definite exemption,
saying that this statute should not APP
ply to them at ALL | would not con-
sent to that. Labor unions must obey
the laws like everybody else"
Every syllable in that expression
will be Endorsed by all philosophical
Americans, except the implication that
the Federal statute was not intended
to apply to embargoes on trade by
labor unions. During the discussion
of the Sherman antitrust act of 1890.
which is the statute to which the
President refers, an attempt was made
to exempt labor unions and farmers
societies from the operations of the
law. but that plea failed. 1T faxed
because the trainers of the statute be-
lieved that such an exemption would
set up favored order of people in
the community, and that the whole
statute would be declared unconstitu-
tional by the courts on the ground
that ii was class legislation. There
fore labor organizations. like organiza-
tons of capitalists. were made amen
able to the penalties of the statute.
Mr.. Taft's proposition for an amend
ment to the Sherman act on this point
has never been clearly set. forth jn
print. but this will probably be done
in his regular message to Congress
this winter, or in some special mes
sage. He wants to keep boycotting on
the list of crimes, where it is now,
but his amendment might throw OBJ
stacles in the way of the courts in
Furnishing this crime. In the Danbury
hat case the United States Supreme
Court declared that boycott on the
production of any article which en-
ters into interstate commerce is a
crime in the meaning of the Sherman
! act, and its perpetrators are subject
TO the penalties imposed by that stat
ute. Every American who wants a
square deal for all elements of the
community applauded that decision.
For this reason all propositions 70

particular point will need TO be
