Last Nights Dreams
What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF MURDER,

TT is a curious fact that while the
L most eminently correct person may
in dreams commit the most criminal
actions the sleep Of real criminals is
generally peaceful and their dreams,
If they have any. are of the most in
OccuOus character. Santa de Saints.
the italian investigator, has made a
wide study of the sleep and dreams
of criminals and as result states it
as rule that the sleep even of mur-
derers Is dreamless or haunted by in
nOcent visions. Thus the condemned
criminal In his cell may be dreaming
Of green fields and village bells while
the upright judge who condemned him
is committing manslaughter in dream
land.
These facts are dead against the
conceptions Of the poets and novelists
and conform rather to w. S. Gilbert's
statement regarding the capacity for
Innocent enjoyment" of the felOn
when not engaged in his employ
ment" rather than with Hoods poem.
The Dream of Eugene Aram." So
you are not necessarily criminally in
some one.
The mystics regard dream Of mur-
der rather unfavorably. If you see
others committing murder 1t is a sign
that you will shortly be called upon to
answer for the miSdeeds of others say
some, while others declare that 1t only
means that many hard struggles are
before you and it is warning to
watch your step" If you dream that
you are committing murder yourself
look out for your reputation and con-
slider well the work you are now en-
gagged In. If you dream that some
body is numbering you suspect secret
enemies and unforeseen dangers. In
short. 1t is sort of warning dream
to be on your guard.
Freud has devoted much attention
to this dream and regards It as u de-
sire left over from our infancy. a
baby mind before we had learned that
1t was wrong to murder people. Ellis
says: "If normal people dream OF
crime 1t Is because they are more sem
sitlve and imaginative and the sleep
ing consciousness is strained to the
utmost to invent phantasmal tragedy
adequate to account for the waves OF
emotion which beset It," An interest
Ing thing about murder dream Is
that, as rule, we experience no re-
morse for our crime but much anxiety
to escape Its penalty. William Dean
HOwells has remarked: "In my
dreams I am always less sorry for my
mlsdeeds than for their possible dis
covery." (copyright)

THE DEMOCRATIC
STATE CONVENTION

The Democratic convention
which met in Denver this week,
deserves more than ordinary
praise. The reactionary part of
the party in the city of Denver
which defeated the state ticket
two years ago were all but read
out of the party. julius Aichele,
the grand mogul of that wing of
the party, admitted that he oppos-
ed lyman, but defended his action
on the grounds that he laid aside
loyalty to his party in order that
he might be loyal to his country
1t must be a source of great sat-
isfaction and pride to Governor
Shoup when he reflects that he
owes his election to the patriotic
zeal of such pure and high minded
men as. the immaculate julius.
Far be it from us to insinuate
that the governors thoughts may
be tinged with sadness when he
recalls the financial end of this
transaction.
If the Democratic party wishes
to regain the confidence of the
people of Colorado it must drive
out the money changers, the bar
rels and the grafters. 1t must
cease to be controlled by the men
who are in politics for what there
is in it. A beginning was made
by the state convention. 1t is to
be hoped that the good work will
be kept up.
Another act of the convention
that will meet with universal fav-
or in Gilpin county was the unan-
imous endorsement by the 900 del
egates of the gold excise bill. The
Democrats of Gilpin county were
the only ones in county convention
that endorsed this measure in the
state, the others while favoring
the bill overlooking the necessity
of going on record in support of it.
Everyone of our delegates worked
hard to bring about the endorse
ment by the state convention and
the success attained was largely
due. to their untiring efforts.
Inasmuch as the McFadden bill
is now one of the cardinal princi-
Piles of the Democratic party of
the state it is almost certain that
Senator Charles S. Thomas, life
long Democrat, will give it his
hearty support.
Gilpin observer., 1920-05-20

We don't know of any man in
the Democratic party who could
make a better race for U. S. sena-
to- than John Shafroth. He car
ried the state outside of Denver
two years ago, notwithstanding
the big slush fund back of Phipps
and had it not been for the double
crossing he received at the hands
of the Denver Democrats would
have been an easy winner. His
record in the senate was far bet
ter than Phipps' because in the
first place he is an ADLER man, and
in the second place his interests
and purposes are closer to the peo-
pie than are Phipps'. Two years
of Phipps in the senate has al
ready convinced the people that
Colorado would be much better
off with six more years of Shat
roth.

DENVER POST FIGHT
ON THE PROFITEERS

The state papers have made
many comments upon the Denver
Posts. pretended or real war upon
the profiteer, and strange as it
may seem, words of praise are
conspicuous by their absence. 1t
is true that the Post has done but
little to reduce the high cost of
living. A few ounces of pancake
flour and five or ten pounds of
potatoes is a good deal like CIV
ing the poor a good dinner on
Christmas and letting them go
hungry the balance of the year.
The trouble with our big broth
er is that he scatters too much !;
he tries to help so many people
that he doesn't do anybody any
real good. Neither does he harm
the profiteer.
The Post claimed when they
started out that they would keep
on selling fish until the dealers
would sell at a reasonable price
to the people of Denver. Having
accomplished this, they began a
war upon the pancake -four prof
iteer and now a man does not have
to be rich if he lives in Denver to
have pancakes and fish every
morning for breakfast. But our
big brother will not stop here; he
is now after the potato profiteer,
and it is a safe prediction that
well-to-do people, in the near fu-
ture, can afford to eat potatoes
two, or if they are rich, maybe
three times a day.
In view of all this and much
more that is promised, it will
surely break the heart and petrify
the soul of your Post to have their
motives so widely discredited.
We should not be too hard on the
Post. They have undertaken a
task greater than that ancient
king who tried to stop the oceans
waves. A task that Attorney
General Palmer fails to accom-
plish even with all the power of
the American government behind
him. So when the Post or any
other private concern says that
they will destroy profteering and
supply a refuge for justice when
1t is driven from other habita-
tlons, let us spread the mantle of
charity over them and remember
that they like to hear themselves
talk.
