to Mr.. hyde?''
That's about It, Only, this IS not
fiction; it is a scientific, human fact. So
don't push the Jekyll-lIyde idea too far.
Take a simple instance first a young man
woke up one morning after he had been
very drunk. He could not remember what
ne rad done or where he had been since the
afternoon Of the day before-a frequent oc-
currence where alcohol has taken a hand
in the proceedings.
yet there grew up in him feeling that
there was something in that missing night
that was very horrible. lie felt that lie
had done something that might have shock
ing consequences. He was so worried that
he went to a specialist about it. The proc
ess of suggestion and analysis went some-
thing like this:

the youngest man who ever sat in that

youngest legislator in the country.
He will represent the 9Th Middlesex
District, and if the results he accom-
plished in his election are continued dur
ing his term in office he will have ac-
complished wonders for his district and
the state at large. After a strenuous
campaign, during which his opponent

born in the same year as Senator Hoar's
father.
Mr. Hoar was able TO meet the msrep-
resentation as 10 his personality. but the
impression that he is visionary and un-
fitted TO sit I'm legislative councils has
gone abroad, and while trying TO keep
out of the newspapers from now on, to
devote himself to his legislative and law
work, he consented 10 n farewell inter-
view" in order to correct these false i'm
pressions
II suppose that a young man cannot
undertake any serious project" says Mr..
Hoar, without being wrongly described
as a sort OF freak-an infant prodigy.
Why l should be described that way
cannot understand. as there is nothing
extraordinary about me at all. The peo-
ple OF my district chose to indorse the
principles that 1 stand for; that is all
there is to IL.
"The opposition tried to make capital
out Of my inexperience, but discovered
that the principles Of their own candi-
date were more of a handicap TO them
than any amount of inexperience could
be 10 us. They then tried to describe me
as an anarchist crying Down with bust
ness!' in spite of the fact that my plat
form declared for a square deal to cor
porations and the people alike. This at
tempt of theirs was creating some head
way until they spoiled 1t themselves by
q bit of campaign literature. The Incl
dent was as follows:

hold Of one Of these letters and published
it. IT was the best advertising that l re-
ceived during the campaign. for It

and for all, which is to be the master.
Johns Hopkins University is now building
a hospital ward for insane patients which

curacy which modern science demands DR..
Frederick c. Peterson. who practically in
troduced the new methods to this country
at the time when he was the head of the
State Commission in Lunacy. consented to
describe them briefly.
The fact is, too. that the subconscious
is vastly more important to us than the
conscious, for in the subconscious lie all
the elements that make up our personality,
not only the treasury of all our individual
experiences through the course of years,
but all our ancestral trends. desires, ten
denotes. wills. ambitions, fears-in fact,
the latent spirit of the race Of mankind.
There. in each one Of US, lie all our earlier
perceptions and thoughts and thrills, old
terrors, old desires. old hurts, all forgotten
things.
THE subconscious is altogether too large
to be dismissed in a few words, as some
have done. 1t is in this field that much
that is new and brilliant has recently been
discovered. Psychology now begins TO read
like a romance.
AT the basis Of nearly all hysteria and
of a vast number of other disturbed men,
tai states which often lead 10 insanity we
find there is some definite shock or trau-
ma which the patient suffered from usu-
ally in his youth. Often this has been COM

The room is darkened and made as quiet
as possible. The patient lies down,
closes his eyes and reIaxes all his

him in concentrating his mind, and
leads him to tell all the floating
thoughts that come to him.

and 35th street As his eye fell on the date
line the figures struck him like blow
January Is. 1911" The last thing he could
remember was that he was lying on his
sisters sofa in Haverhill, Mass, on Mon
day early in December. lie did not know
how he came to be in New York. nor
what he had done. He hurried to Pough-
Reepsie, where his brother lived, half
afraid that even now he was not the man
he believed himself to be. Only his oroth-
ers hysterical welcome reassured him. He
had disappeared from Hayerhill after leav-
ing a barber shop. and all his family
searching had not found him. For month
and more he had not been CASTOR Ketch-
am. but who he had been he did not know.
The day before a Baltimore judge had
had before him man who had been ar

turned out 10 be f. Marshall Johnson,
States Attorney of a county in West Nir-
ginia. who was also employed as a lawyer
by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. He told
the judge frankly that he had another

But still more fascinating than such

science OF the mind has found TO explain

find this 'trauma' and bring it from the
subconscious into consciousness.
Let me explain. Every Keeling that Is
deep and painful has a whole train of other
feelings and impulses associated with it.
If you are insulted you have an impulse
to knock the man down. If you do it, you
have given these impulses a normal, salts
factory outlet. But If you have to pocket
the insult-and that is the best possible
word to describe the repression of your
resentment-you have not acted normally;
you have not got rid Of It; it will stay and

years, suppressed. perhaps forgotten, but
