you no good when it comes to you in
this manner, for it is then in your

Think of all the stuff and nonsense
that has been written about the maj
esty of the will, the advisabllity OF
cultivating it, tie alleged reward that
has come to man and saint for dis
play of it and now we have to chuck
it all and to admit that there is no
such thing as will. as a beneflcent
agent! Perhaps NJ. Coue would admit
that will power is a good thing in
Eealth. It is only to be scorned when

thought because no one who is really

will power. 1t is too much effort and

Imagination Conquers Will
And the Sick Get Well

1t is not therefore astonishing that
the newest apostle of the mystic, the
most recent revivalist of a phase of
Leo -platonism, should hail from the
capital of old Lorraine. 1t is, however,
very unusual for an apostle of any
kind to wait until he is 65 to be heard
from, to make a noise in the world.
We are therefore. prepared for the
statement made by his admirers and
disciples that he was but 45 when he
made what they call his great dis
covery. establishing two facts which
were not known before; namely that
it is the imagination which gains the
victory over the will power every time
tie two forces are brought into con-
tact, and that it is possible to make
suggestions to an individual without
hypnotizing him.
IT seems incredible that there is any
one in the world capable or incapable
OF taking thought who can claim that
this is a discovery, but such is the
fact. There are many such persons,
and they consider it to be their duty
to pass on to their fellows the reality
Of these discoveries, and to urge their
Importance for the happiness and effi-
cheney of countless lives. This is at
tested by the books, magazines and
newspaper articles that are now being
published about Coueism in England.
In the late autumn of the last year NJ.
Coue went to London to hold some
public conferences, the way having
been prepared for his visit by the pub
lication OF a book by Prof. Baudouin
entitled Suggestion and Autosugges-
tion." At that time he was practically
unknown. At the present time his
name is not so familiar there as that
Of Mr.. Lloyd George. but it is fast be-
coming SO. Verify it would seem as
il all London were Coueing. and there
arc Coue clubs Coue cliques and Coue
circles. Like Florence of old, when
the inhabitants were either Guelph or
Ghibelline. Londoners are Coueites or
anti-Coueites. and they are supporting
their convictions and urging their
partisanship with religious ardor.

Administered Justice" Himself

As his influence increased Raisuli
became a despot. He squeezed the
people under him and extorted money
from the poorest of the poor. The
Government officials lived in terror OF
him, and let him know it, with the
result that he ignored their orders and
commands. scoffed openly at European
treaties. becoming at the same time
the protector and scourge OF Tangier
and the surrounding districts. His
representatives administered Justice
in the market place in Tangier and
beat people to death within a block of
the French and German legations.
In 1907 Raisuli had reached the ze-
NTH OF his power. 1t was only neces-
sary to tell man that he was under
arrest and he would never attempt to
escape. Everybody in Morocco and
outside realized that Raisuli's arm was
long enough to reach him where he
fed to. But while he showed all the
qualities required for a strong Gov
ernor in Morocco, he overdid 1t. For
him there existed no treaties Euro
peans were blackmailed, and finally
the representatives OF the European
Powers addressed a collective note to
the Moorish Minister OF Foreign AZ
fairs at Fez, demanding that an end
be put 10 the impossible state or ar
fairs existing in tho Tangier districts.
II was almost an ultimatum, for the
bay was filed with the warships OF
the nations and the Sultan had no
other alternative but TO send an army
against Raisuli's stronghold.
Raisuh for a time held of the forces
of the Sultan but finally was defeated
and retired beyond the mountains OF
Beni Masour, where he was conf
pletely outlawed.
Then came the Algeciras treaty.

to conduct his enemy the Basha to the
dungeon he had prepared for him at
Zerat he found the latter dead.
Raisuli became all powerful after
this bandit coup. a hero in the eyes
Of the Moors, a menace in those of
Europe.

put down the cffervescence which his
rival Bou Hamaras rebellion had
caused in the neighborhood Of Tan
