Curious Theories
About Soul and
Mind
BY GARRETT p. sERVIss

IAN explanation will be greatly
appreciated on the following: What
relationship does the mind bear 70
the soul? To me the connection
seems rather Close.-R. p. J. H"
The modern science of psychology
recognizes no difference between
soul and mind But historically the
idea of an essential difference be-
tween them has played a great part
in philosophical and theological
speculation.
You will perhaps be amused by
w. K. Clifford's summary account of
the origin of the old idea of the soul.
If you eat too much" he says. you
will dream when you are asleep: if
you eat too little you will dream
when you are awake, or have Wis
ions, and those dreams of savages
whose food was very precarious led
them To a Biological hypothesis.
They saw in those dreams their fell
lows. other men, when 1t appeared
from evidence furnished TO them
afterward that those other men were
not there when they were dreaming
consequently llAtg supposed LIldl
the actions of the organic body were
caused by some other body which
was not physical in the ordinary
sense, which was not made OF or
binary matter. and this other body
was called the soul"
If you look into an old book whose
express purpose was TO eN plain dis
tinctions between different terms
applied 10 the same or similar OBJ
jects of sense or Of thought, Crabbe's
English synonyms, you will find soul
and mind Disseminated" in the
old fashioned manner. thus:
These terms have been employed
by all civilized nations to designate
that part of human nature which is
distinct from matter. The soul,
howc-er, is represented TO our minds
BY the subject OF most ETHEREAL OF
sensible objects. viz, breath or spirit,
the quickening or vital principle.
Mind on the contrary is that sort of
I power which is closely allied to. and

This "mind-stuf," Clifford assert
ed, is the reality which we perceive
as matter. II Clifford had lived into
our day. and had grasped and inter
preted, as his penetrating mind
would quickly have done. the

recent discoveries about the electric
constitution of matter. he might
have concluded that the particles of

The universe" he said. consists
entirely of mind-stuff. Some of this
is woven into the complex form of
human minds containing imperfect
representations Of the mind-stuff
outside of them, and Of themselves
also. as a mirror reflects its own
image in another mirror, ad infinit-
UNI" And finally he sums it up in
two points: % Matter Is a mental
picture in which mind-stuff is the
thing represented, and (2). "Reas-
on. intelligence, and volition are
properties of a complex which, is

IN THE REALM OF MUSIC.
THREE JEWISH POEMS" PRE-
SCENTED WITH CHICAGO SYM
PHONY.


PHONY.
new and important figure in mod
ern musical art has arisen in the per-
son of Ernest Bloch, demonstrating to
the satisfaction of every body the pos
sibility of a renascence of Jewish
musical expression among the Jews of
today. Last week at the Chicago Sym
phony, Mr.. Bloch himself appeared as
conductor of the orchestra through the
performance of his composition, "Trois
Poems Juives" (Danse, Rite, Cortege
Funibre). These poems were included
in the programs of the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra toward the close of
last season, and it was agreed that Mr.
Bloch had something entirely his own
to say.
Ernest Bloch is as yet young man.
He was born in Geneva, Switzerland,
in 1880, and very early exhibited
musical talents. He studied in Brus-
sells with Eugene Ysaye and Fee Rasse,
also in Frankfort and Munich finally
winding up at Paris. Recently he land
ed in the United States and became
resident of New York. The first public
hearing of his works was given by the
Society of Friends of Music of New
York on May 3, 1917, under the baton
of the composer. Concerning his jew
ish music, Mr.. Bloch says:
"It is not my purpose, not my de-
sire, to attempt a reconstruction OF
Jewish music, or to base my work on
melodies more or less authentic [
am not an archaeologist. 1 hold it
Of nnrto IN
uine music 1t is the Jewish soul
that interests me, the complex, glow
ing, agitated soul, that I feel vibrating
throughout the Bible. The freshness
and naivette of the patriarchs, the
violence that is evident in the
prophetic books, the Jews savage
love of justice, the despair of the
preacher in Jerusalem, the sorrow and
the immensely of the Book of Job, the
sensuality of the Song of Songs.
GAIL this is in us; all this is in me,
and it is the better part of me. 1t is
all this that I endeavor to hear in my
self and to transcribe in my music;
the venerable emotion of the race that
slumbers way down in our soul"
Speaking of Ernest Bloch, Joseph
Reider of Dropsie College, says, 1--WE
have had Jewish composers heretofore,
but they hardly had a scintilla of Jew
ishness in them. Mendelssohn, though
re-eohoing some old Jewish traits in his
oratorios, was ashamed to acknowledge
any Jewish Indebtedness in his musical
achievement. Meyerbeer, faithful Jew
though he was, was loath to compose
specifically for Jews Similarly Ruben
stein, Mailer, and a host of others. But
in Bloch we have frst-rate composer,
who not only delights in proclaimlng
his Jewish faith, but emphasizes it in
every line of his music, a composer
who dreams of perfecting a distinct
Jewish style for the benefit of young
Israel. Surely Bloch is our first great
composer in the same sense that Lilien
is our first great painter"

for certain sections of Alaska and
it is his desire to see law govern
ing the release of such lands, by d
leasing system, passed.
MIR. Sulzer succeeded in getting
an appropriation for road and trail
work in the face of many difficulties.
While railroad appropriation was
hard to obtain at this time. it would
entail great loss if work were
stopped, and $5,25o, 900 were Sc
cured this year.
The delegate stated that he is
thoroughly identified with the in
terests of Alaska and wants to i'm
prove them despite what is said.
He understands fully the problems
of transportation and the need Of
better service. He denied being an
agent of the Guggenheins, or of
any other corporation, and said
that his private interests are his
own.
Some time was taken up in re-
view of testimony taken in the con-
test hearing concerning Mr.. Wick
ersham and himself, extracts being
read from the records. Mr.. Sulzer
stated that at no time was it shown
that the soldiers mentioned in the
contest had no right to vote and
they all claimed the right. In re-
gard to the Indian vote which was
cast, Mr.. Sulzer produced testi
mony. tending to show that while
Indians were permitted to vote in
certain parts Of Alaska despite

were not allowed to do SO. The
specific cases mentioned concerned
an Indian at Afognak whose vote
was permitted and the refusal to
let X. J. Paratovich of klawock
vote.
Mr.. Sulzer said that the statement
to the effect that he had lost in the
contest is premature and that Mr..
Wickersham has not been seated,
and produced letters of recent date
to prove that the final hearing has
been postponed.
In closing, the delegate apollo
gized for having spoken at such
length (his speech occupied about
two hours} thanked the people for
their attention, and voiced his re-
greet that it is necessary to go into
so many details in order to explain
his position.
In the issue before you, am
not afraid to appeal to the people
of Alaska; | have no fear of what
the people will do" he said.
Mr.. Suffer concluded his address
by reading letter which he had
just received from Franklin X. Lane
whom the delegate lauds as one of
Alaska's best friends. The letter
was friendly and congratulatory in
nature and is greatly priced by
Mr.. Sulzer.
Mr.. Sulzer left Nrangell Friday

channel cities. From there he will
proceed northward, possibly going
