the two purposes herein stated.
In this way, the institutions and
departments will be cared for in
an efficient way, and the custo-
mary error made by the Legisla-
ture, in over-apropriating the rev.
enue corrected. 1t now stands
the same as if the over-appropria-
tions had been vetoed and held up
at the time, save and except, the
institutions have had the benefit
of the increases in the revenue
made by the several departments.
The appropriations, as thus
held up, will not exceed the rev.
enues, and there will not be sim
gle debt created by the state for
the biennial period which will not
be promptly paid. This is purely
a business proposition, met in a
business way. This has been the
attitude of the Executive Officers
of the administration, and, as
stated many times to the public,
the indebtedness created by the
state will not be allowed to ex-
ceed the revenue and every obi
cation during the biennial period
discharged.
Every department has been,
and is now being run on an ex-
ceptionally economic basis, be-
ginning with my own. The Exec
utive Office is being conducted
with a Secretary and two stenog-
raphers. The positions of Execu-
tive Clerk and File Clerk are
both vacant. In leaving these two
positions vacant, I am saving
$2,700 per annum, and have done

all I possibly could towards meet

from the Penitentiary and the

derstood that these two depart
ments, however, have been and
are efficient in every way, and
have secured the maximum re-
turns, the falling off being, as
merely because of the abol-
ishment of the contract system at
the Penitentiary and the voting

They proposed arbitration as solu-

body had no power to settle the dispute.
The matter viii be referred to the men
for decision, however.

whether it would be necessary for the
unions to vote on the question OF de-
daring a strike to enforce their demands.
The union leaders had declared in adj
vance any compromise would be rejected

1t was said yesterday that five weeks
would be required to take strike vote
md that when such vote was completed

by the heat of battle causes no pain on
impact, though there may be burning
sensation at the point of entrance, and
the soldier may feel as if he had been
Jared or struck. Frequently he first
learns of his wound from comrade.
(c) In the state of complete exhaustion in
which loss of sleep is the chief factor pain is
quite abolished. (d Under heavy emotion
pain is greatly diminished, even prevented.
We can now offer mechanistic expla-
nation of these exceptions to the general
rule that bodily injury causes pain. Dur
ing the overwhelming activation in
charge, the stimulus of the sight of the
enemy is so intense that no other stimulus
can obtain possession of the final common
path Of the brain-the path of action.
Pain is inevitably associated with muscu-
lar action; therefore if bullet or bay
Onet wound is inflicted at the moment
when this injury can not obtain pos
session Of the final common path, it can
excite no muscular action and conse-
quently no pain. Hunters attacked by
wild beasts testify to the fact that the
tearing of the flesh by claws and teeth
can not dispossess the excessive activa-
ton of the brain by the realization of
danger. For this reason the teeth and
claws of the beast do not cause any adapt
i've muscular response and therefore there
is no pain. In like manner the emotion
of fear in the soldier holds possession of
the final common path, so that muscular
action against local flesh injuries is pre-
vented. Not only in war does emotion
overcome pain; SO does great anger; so
does the exaltation of religious fanatics
in their emotional rites.
As for the diminished pain in ex-
haustion, especially exhaustion in which
Evening star., 1916-02-13

stump. Even then he felt no pain. For
several hours he lay there without pain
until after the danger had passed and he
was removed by the stretcher squad.
Then his suffering began.
The fact that pain is an accompaniment
of muscular action, and that without some
associated muscular action there is no
pain, makes it clear that there can be no
pain when the system is as exhausted as
in the soldiers on their retreat to the
Marne. A striking illustration of the alb
sence of pain in the presence Of extreme
fear and exhaustion is found in an Incl
dent related by DIR. Gros. which occurred
during the transportation of wounded
soldiers who had made the exhausting
march from Mons to the Marne.
1t was dark night, and the hospital
train filled with the wounded was crossing
the river Ourcq. The engineer failed to
see that the bridge was broken, and the
train plunged into the river beneath, some
of the cars remaining on the bridge and
some being suspended in mid-air. The
patients in the suspended cars, struggling
like worms in a bottle, were thrown in
heaps against the ends. The engine ex-
steam, and many of the wounded were
burned to death. The suspended cars
could not be righted, and the wounded
were dragged out by main force.
Such intensified cruelty could not come
even to trapped animals. 1t could come
only through the ingenuity of man
through the machinery of civilization.
And yet these men, suffering from fear,
excessive marching, fighting, the loss of
sleep, and the plunge into darkness,
scalded, steamed, grilled, and finally shat
tered and bleeding these men felt no pain!
