DIVINE CURES BOGUS.
Des Moines Physicians Say Emotion is
All There It to Ii.

Des Mones, March 22.--Des Moines
physicians and pastors are not agreed
upon the cures that are effected by the
prayers of Brother Yoakum at the di-
vine healing convention. While man'
| of the citN's ministers are in accord
with the convention, others are re-
naming away and have not given the
convention their encouragement.
The physicians of the city in gem
eral seem to think that auto sugges-
ton plays prominent part in the
healing,
Il think there is good deal of the
old Dowieism in such cures are are re-
ported to have been made here by DIR.
Yoakum." said Rev. j. w. Abel, of
Wesley Methodist church. "Dowie used
to send people away cured of their
ailments. There are many people
whose sickness is simply imaginary.
BY some hypnotic influence their minds
are disillusioned and all of a sudden
they find themselves Well
u think there is very little of the
physical in such lures as are reported
as having taken place at DR.. Yoakum' $
meetings said Rev Finis Idleman,
pastor of Central Church of Christ.
"lbis largely u psychological condition.
!. In my opinion these so-called cures
are merely brought about by power
over the subconscious mind of the pa
tent AS soon as the subconscious
mind IS submerged and the patient is
back to his normal mental condition
then the cure is gone. Hypnotism
plays large part in the matter
There is nothing new about these
so called cures of this man Yoakum" s. "
said DIR. Lewis Schooler. For years
and years people under great nervous
excitement have forgotten their aches
and pains. There are thousands Of
people who think they are invalids who
have nothing whatever the matter with
them. They refuse to take doctors
word for it. but it takes just some such
emotional outbreaks as there are in
Yoakum's meetings to convince them
that they are not sick"
Common sense will teach YOU that
these people are no different than they
were Yesterday said DR.. l.. ID. Rood.
Under the excitement brought on at
the meetings they may forget their Ills.
Doctors recognize and have recognized
for years that sometimes excitement is
necessary to convince a person that
he is not an invalid. \ doctor could
wear himself out trying to convince
avail Yet if the house caught on fire
the So called invalid would have no
trouble in getting to safety"

tionary since ii dismisses the Anglo
Saxon notion that man be muleted
for the benefit Of another only if he
himself is at fault.
But all accidents must be paid for
by some one. Heretofore the great ma
jority have been paid for by the in
jured workman in the first analysis, al.
though in the last, perhaps, by the COM
munity at large. Hereafter, If this bill
shall pass and become successfully oper-
atiye, it is the employer who pays with
one hand and in the other RECEIVERS his

to the workman are OF ought TO be OBJ

| 1t is impossible perhaps for one not
familiar with the situation to realize
that by far the largest number of ac-
cidents are due to the risk inherent
in each trade For these accidents no
one is to blame and the loss lies where
| it falls-upon the workman.
But on the other side there is much
to be said. Granting the propriety Of
economic principle, passing the legal diff
ticulties attendant upon the practical
doing away with the jury trial without
seeming to do so, and the further diff
ficulty of making the employer pay for
an accident which was not his fault.
there is the serious question Of cost.
The workman of Massachusetts must
remember that be cannot afford to see
our industries laboring under a handi-
cap which does not exist in New Hamp-
shire or Connecticut And about this
element we know but little English
