Chicago, Aug. 9.-The administra.

held up to ridicule by Charles Evans
Hughes, speaking before an immense
audience in the Chicago Coliseum,
the same building in which he was
made the nominee of the Republican
national convention almost two
months ago.
Argument after logical argument
spiced with sarcasm and a keenly
barbed humor, drove home his points
and the speaker backed up every
criticism with an exposition of his
views as to the method that should
have been followed in the different
crises the Democratic administration
has faced.

No more important scientific doc
trine has ever been formulated than
that which Is comprised in what is
known as the principle OF reserve
energy.
II was first set forth few years
ago by two American psychologists
William James and Boris Sidis.
AT the time IL vas widely discussed
and widely misunderstood.
The Misunderstanding persists.
Because OF this the James-Sidis doc
trine is today in disrepute.

Stated badly. the doctrine in ques-
ton afirms that every normal hui
man being possesses fund OF sur

be, bur is not. habitually used. Or,
as Prof. James more comprehen-
sively expressed IT.:
Our organism has stored up re-
serves Of energy that are ordinarily
not called upon. but that may be
called upon: deeper and deeper
strata OF com mbustible or expiosible
material. discontinuously arranged,
but ready for use by any one who
probes SO deep. and repairing them
selves by rest as well as do the su-
perficial strata Most OF US con-
tinue living unnecessarily near our
"Of course there are limits; the
trees don't grow into the sky. The
plain fact remains that men the
world over possess amounts OF re-
source which only very exceptional
individuals push TO their extreme
OF use
But the very same individual.
pushing his energies TO their ex-
treme. may in a vast number OF
cases keep the pace up day after
day. and find no reaction ot bad
sort. 20 long as decent hysienic con.
ditions are preserved"
The criticism which has done
more than anything else TO discredit
this doctrine II summed UP In the
charge that. lit breaches a gospel
OF overstrain" Actually, II does
nothing Of the sort.
II suggests, rather. that there are
ways by which. without overstrain'
ing themselves. all men and women
ought 10 be able 10 do moro work
and better work than most people
do today.
Moreover. from a study Of the
lives of exceptional individuals" Of
the sort mentioned by Prof James,
n II even now possible TO indicate
some Of the ways by which the fund
OF energy may be tapped and safely
utilized.
