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
its Causes, Is Great Think
er's Conclusion.

AS soon as purposive psychology is
acknowledged as a full-fedged SCI
ence we cannot go very far without
discovering that 1t leads us straight
to the old idea of the soul. We under
stand the meaning of thought or
memory or will act by linking it with
the aim toward which 1t points, and
this inner forward movement is 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 cause. 1t has no subcon-
scious causes, and 1t has no brain
causes. The mere inquiry after its
causes would falsify it's status. 1t has
not causes any more than 1t has
weight or color It's 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 it as soul.
Moreover, for the casual psycholo-
gist, whether he be of the subcon-
scious or Of the physiological temper.
mental life is 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 one 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 it's meaning
in its purposive deeds. This is self
which is not mere pile of psychical
doings, but which really asserts itself
as the same in every new act. Every
thing which springs from 1t is In
volved In it's selfhood.
This soul, finally, cannot be depend
ent upon the beginning and the end.
upon the days and the hours Of the
physical body. It expresses itself
through the body, and the sense or
gans determine the selection Of OBJ
jects toward which it takes it's atti-
tudes, but the soul is neither in the
time nor In the space of the physical
molecules. If we seriously ask. How
can we describe the soul?" we must
learn to recognize the absurdity of
the very question. Every description
refers to an object, but the essential
meaning of the soul is that it Is never
an object, but always a subject, al
ways self, always an action.-Hugo
Munsterberg, in the North American
Review.

The additional milk which would be
obtained in the South If the cattle
ticks were eliminated would In the ag-
gregate be worth many millions of dol
lars. Owners Of dairy cows in the re-
gion already cleared of ticks are well
satisfied and nearly every reply to the
U. s. Department Of Agriculture tells
of very substantial increase in milk
yield. The per cent of increase, where
cattle have been dipped and the ticks
eliminated, in many states is 20 to 70.
the average of IL states being %. In
experiments with a tick-free herd in
comparison with two herds, one heav-
fly infested with ticks, the other light
ly infested, it was shown by the de-
partment's specialists that the reduc-
ton in milk flow was AZ per cent and
Is per cent respectively.
Cost of Feeding Ticks.
If dairyman with 20 COWS, produc-
ing eight quarts of milk each day,
should let them become even lightly
infested with ticks and the milk pro-
duction were decreased, as in the case
of the lightly-infested cows in the ex-
periments made by the department of
agriculture, the loss would be Ia
quarts a day for each COW. At 20
cents a gallon, or cents quart, this
would amount to 713 cents COW, or
81 h( for fha entfra herd each dav IF
the tick infestation were heavy and
the reduction In milk were as great
as in the heavily-infested COWS in the
experiment, the loss would be ga
quarts worth IT cents) day for
each COW; this would amount to $3.40
a day for the entire herd. The money
thus lost in three days on the heavily
infested herd would pay for the cost
OF dipping the cattle and killing the
ticks, as dipping costs at most only
30 cents head to eradicate ticks.
The experience of dairyman in
the heart of the tick-infested territory
also strikingly illustrates how much
1t costs dairymen to have ticks on
their cattle. Late in the season, when
his COWS were covered with ticks, the
cattle were dipped and the ticks killed.
One week after dipping, the AZ cows
fin his herd gave 10 gallons Of milk
more than before dipping. This was

an increase of 1876 per cent, and as the
milk was bringing So cents gallon,
the extra 10 gallons we're worth $3.50;
hence, by getting rid of the ticks the
same COWS on the same feed produced
milk enough to net the dairyman $3.50
a day more than before they were
dipped The small amount of money
which this dairyman spent In dipping
his cows was a good investment.
Another individual experience which
shows that dipping cattle keeps of
the ticks and, therefore, the dreaded
Texas fever, is that of A. e. McWhor-
ten, Greene county, Ca: In the year
1911 had IS cows. lost II OF the
best had by tick fever. In the year
1912 I built me dipping vat, with
the assistance of Doctor Lewis, and
that year had 125 head of cattle and
began to dip them on the 10th of April,
and did not lose single cow after the
first dipping. This year ] had 1S7
head, and began to dip them on the
18th of April, and dipped them every
three weeks, and have not lost COW
this year, and am sure this tick Grad
ica&don is the best thing for my county
that has ever come to 1t.
Ticks Increase Fertilizer BIIls.
One Of the important assets of the
dairy industry is the manure produced
nv the cows. On many northern farms
truck farmers and growers Of field
crops figure the manure they get from
cattle as paying them well for cattle
raising, even If they make only a
small profit or none from the milk or
beef. Out of one hundred southern
correspondents from tick-cleared areas
half OF them state that COW manure
has increased the productiveness Of
their land 100 per cent more. The re-
rnainder also agreed that manure II

MANUFACTURE WAR
MUNITIONS HERE

When every war material manufac-
tory in the east is running full time,
turning out war material to supply
the nations now at war in Europe,
where scarcity of war munitions
exists, would it not be a source OF
large revenue to some of our mlillon-
aires, were they to establish fac
tory in Colorado for the manufacture
of steel shells, cannon, etc?
Colorado has plenty of coal iron
and tungsten, the elements most need
ed in the manufacture of heavy ord
nance at our very door, and could
successfully compete with eastern
manufactures had we the proper mill
and machinery for turning out the
goods.
When congress convenes, there
will no doubt be laws passed to en-
large our armies and navy many-fold,
as we'll as enlargirg and strengthing
our coast defenses. There is no rea-
son why cannon, she'll and small
arms could not be manufactured as
cheaply in Colorado as in Pennsyl-
vania or Connecticut, where some of
the ingredients used, have to be i'm
ported from this state.
1t has been demonstrated by tie
steel works at Pueblo that nails,
rails, tubes and rods, can, and do
compete successfully with eastern
manufacture, and were factory built
here, no doubt many of the govern
ment contracts for naval and coast
defenses would come to Colorado,
and the state benefit by utilizing cur
natural resources.
This suggestion is worthy of a
thought, and should attract the at
tention CT the wealthy men of tie
state.

PROTEST AGAINST PARKS

When Colorado was settled, it was
good judgment, regarding her future
prosperity. For years these men of
brain, used every effort to promote
the mining industry, and many waxed
wealthy from the profits of their
mines. For the past decade, the
people of the state have run riot
over fanatical reforms and National
park additions.
carved out of some of the most choice
pasture and mineral lands of the
state, that should satisfy the most
fastidious. Denver thinks she can
thrive and become great metropoli-
tan city by the scenic travel to our
mountains, and warts all that rich
mineral gold belt, lying between
these two parks incorporated >fOr
park purposes.
The richest gold belt ever found
in tie state is that extending from
Boulder county on the north to Grip
pie Creek on tie south, including
Gilpin, Clear Creek and Park coun-
ties. Were this rich belt to be set
aside for national park, prospect
ing for minerals would be forever
prohibited, ard the state lose mil
lions Of dollars in taxes as we'll as
business. There is scheme on foot
to attain this end, and the people in
all the mining counties should watch
we'll the proceedings in congress the
coming session, and protest loudly
against this piece Of rank folly.
Take the mining for precious metals
from the state, and our factories
would close for want OF custom, and
our farms would return to the abor-
igines for want of market, and
Denver would stand. alone and neg

TRAITORS AT ARMAeEDpoNa

The resolutions adopted by the New
York county committee of the pro-
gressive party merely state in formal
language what was more concisely
put by one of the members
Any one of our party who fav-
ors an alliance with the Republi-
can party, which is as rotten to-
day as it was in 1912, is a traitor.
Those two members of the state
committee are traitors, and moth
in more.
The two members of the state com
mittee in question are Theodore
Douglas Robinson, nephew of the
colonel himself, and Chauncey Ham
| lin, second ON the progressive state
ticket last year.
When Christian soldiers begin to
read one another out of the ranks as
traitors. everyb )dy else may fairly be-
gin to tremble fer the cause of So
cial Justice and tie new and only au-
thoritative charter of Democracy. The
battle for the Lord and third term
/ is in danger of degenerating into an
internal riot over extraneous issues.
We do not know that the Republi-
can party is as rotten now as in 1912.
There is only one man qualified to
pass judgment en- that question, and
he is not of those who cried traitor
at the county committee meeting
Thursday night. The colonel alone car
decide. And when the colonel him
self has limited at a possible Pro
gressive-Republican alliance for 1916
and tie colonel's nephew openly fav-
ors it, there is evidence of growing
Republican repentance for the par
tyis rotten conduct in 1912. wien it

where for a nomination.-Ne York
