The War Resolution.

The passage of the war resolution by an almost
unanimous vote in both branches of Congress is
foregone. La Follette's plgheadedness prevented
immediate consideration of the measure in the
Senate yesterday, but under the recently adopted
cloture rule he and his associates, if associates he
has, are powerless to delay action longer than
day. The Senate steering committee has deter
mined that the Senate shall remain in continuous
session. beginning at 10 o'clock Wednesday fore

FIGHTING 1T OUT'-By H. Addngton Bruce

ily he constantly holds in mind the idea or ideas
about which he is resolved not to worry. Or, as
otherwise stated by physician of long experience
with nervous cases.
THE primary psychological difficulty in all func-
tional nervous disorders is morbid subject1vism.
And what is fighting it out but continuous, sys-
tematc, deliberate perpetuation Of this same NOR
bid subjectivism?
For, obviously, one cannot fight something I'M
less one is conscious of that something sets 1t be-
fore the mind, and keeps the attention more or
less fixed upon it,
Get firm hold of this truth, if you are
nervous patient. 1t is of the first importance to
you.
Recognize that, in view of It, the thing for you
to do is not to try to defeat your enemy by the
method of direct combat, but to attack him by the
strategy of substituting pleasurable thoughts for
the painful ones he would impose upon you.
Exert your will power become interested in
wholesome activities. Read entertaining and in
spring books Cultivate some hobby. Develop
keener interest in your work. Seek pleasurabe
thoughts in all directions.
The you fill your mind with these the less
room there will be IN it for worrying ideas. And
in proportion you crowd them out by this
process of substitution your nervousness will dis
appear.

LIBERTY AROUSED

Thank God! thank God! the day is come at last
When you, my country, have word to speak,
Now that your month of silence, and your week
Of anxious hesitation, is all past!
Thank God! thank God that your just lot is
with the oppressed of all the earth, the meek;
That Liberty has lured you to seek
Once more through crimson fields that cry aghast
At the oppressors heel, her mountain home
And utter loud and bold her law of laws,
The equal sacredness of peak and clod
Now wild in stormy heights Ger land and foam,
Her eagles victory for her cause
While monarchs hear and tremble! o thank God.
