THE SELF, THE SOUL
Thing That Is Ever Apart From
the Physical Body.
Every Act Linked With Its Purpose,
and We Have No Right to Ask

AS soon as purposive psychology is
acknowledged as a full-hedged sci.
ence we cannot go very far without
discovering that it leads us straight
to the old idea Of the soul. We under.

stood as the act of self. What do we
know of this self? One thing above
ALT Is perfectly free. We saw that
In this whole world of meaning every.
thing is completely understood as soon
as every act is linked with its pur-
pose, hence we have no right at all
to ask for aus 1t has no subcon-
scious causes, and 1t has no brain
causes. The mere inquiry after it's
causes would falsify its status. 1t has
not causes any more than 1t has
weight or color. Its whole reality lies
In Its purposiveness, and this detach.
ment from any possible cause, this
completeness in itself, Is the funda-
mental freedom Of the self which
stamps 1t as a soul.
Moreover, for the casual psycholo-
gist, whether he be Of the subcon.
scious or Of the physiological temper,
mental life Is a multitude Of elements.
The parts Of the mind are externally
linked, but they remain separate men,
tai atoms. In the world with which
the purposive psychologist is con-
cerned n act Is internally bound up
with another, one idea means another,
one thought refers to another, and
every single act points backward to
the self which expresses its meaning
In Its purposive deeds. This Is a self
which Is not a mere pile Of psychical
doings, but which really asserts itself
as the same In every new act. Every
thing which springs from it is in
volved in its %selfhood.
This soul. finally, cannot be depend.

upon the days and the hours of the

tudes, but the soul is neither In the
time nor in the space of the physical
molecules. II we seriously ask. How
can we describe the soul?" we must
learn to recognize the absurdity of
the very question. Every description

MEMPHIS COMMERCIAL APPEAL
SAYS 5lL5o GETS SMALL
MAJORITY.
CLOSE RACE IS CERTAIN
Election Of Carter Over Russell 10
decentralization In Governors
Race May Rest on an
Official Count.

Memphis.-Early on the morning OF
Aug. 5 the Commercial Appeal de.
clared that from incomplete returns
received from every county in Missis.
sippi indications were that Lieut.. Gov,
Bilbo would be elected governor in
the first election by a majority be.
tween 1000 and 1000. This claim
is based upon the following figures:
Bilbo, $3.50; Reilly, 1859; Tally, g.,
BAL; Quin, 6,34O, and Stovall, 1851.
These figures give Bilbo's opposition
a total vote of 1891, which makes
Bilbo's majority over all 1902.
The Commercial Appeal says that
the country boxes to be heard from
may even increase Bilbo's lead. The
statement tends with the declaration
that the vote is so close that the ques-
ton of a second primary may not be
settled until the official count is made.
In the acknowledgements race
Bunyon Carter is declared to be elect
ed over his opponent, Senator Lee
Russell.

New Orleans SAYS Close.

New Orleans. - The Times Plea
yunS climate of the Mississippi pri-
may election on the night of Aug. 4
vas that Lieut.. Gov. Theodore G. Bill
DO had recovered the leading position
in the contest for the Democratic NOM
nation for governor of Mississippi as
the rural precincts began to be heard
from late on the afternoon of Aug. 4.
This estimate is that a second pri-
mary is certain, as most of the strong
Bilbo counties are reported, and the
combined vote of the four opponents
of the lieutenant-governor is amply
sufficient to prevent a majority. 1t
will take the official returns to finally
determine whether Bilbo or Reilly has
run first.
The returns are ample to show that
John R. Tally, H. M. Quin and P. S.
Stovall will poll only about Is per
cent of the total vote.

With returns from practically all Of

figures still due from country polls,
the race between Thee. G. Bilbo and
Marion W. Reilly and allied candidates
appeared wen closer on August 8.
Reily's big lead piled up the day be-
fore by returns from counties was
lessened during the night by country
ballots, which, according to estimated
figures, place Bilbo slightly In the
lead over the combined field. Reilly
adherents, however, claim that a Sec
ond primary will be necessary when
the complete vote is counted.
Estimates are that in the entire
state $4,000 votes were cast. OF this
Bilbo claims $1,000, and comedies the
opposition a total of 6 1000. From the
Reilly camp reports are that Bilbo
lacks $500 votes of winning over the
entire opposition.
Unless country precincts make GER
a Bilbo's majority, it is probable
that a second primary will have to be
u off August "a.
Returns showed John R. Tally in
third place with a total of 5000 votes.
Quin in fourth place with $500 votes.
Their combined total will not exceed

the old convention system of trades,

gresS along political lines in the
manner of nominating candidates,
conducting campaigns, prohibiting
certain contributions to campaign

complete statement of all receipts

similar reforms. has done much to

has proven successful in every place
that has organized a chamber Of

There is a great deal of work to
be done here at this time, which can
be better accomplished through Il
chamber Of commerce. The great
traffic from the East that will come
Trough this valley if an effort is
made to provide good roads and
properly advertise the advantages of
the route from Lordshurg, n. NJ,
