SEEING OURSELVES PERFORM

A psychology class in an eastern col
legc recently made study OF anger
their own anger. With the eyes of scien-
fists, they noted the various things that
made them angry, Such as criticism,
teasing. bossing, unwelcome advice, as
sumption OF superior knowledge on the
part of certain other people. being over
looked in Invitations to a party, and all
sorts of minor aggravations that oc-
casioned irritation OF milder sort.
Probing inside their own emotional
maIe-up they discovered that thwarted
seli-asscrtion was responsible for more
angry outbursts than anything else. In
animate objects created irritation as did
a dominating attitude on the part OF
others. but taken all in all, it was some
thing that interiered with the complete
and unimpeded movement OF themselves.
They made another discovery in this
attempt at scientific observation Of .heir
own emotions: that the process had the
effect of calming and cooling the anger
itself.
There have been many means devised
for thwarting angry passions. Father.
proving about the house at night and
stumbling over chair in the dark, has
been admonishcd to count ten before he
gives vent to what springs naturally
TO his lips. Mother. in the midst of the
household cares and naGged by the chill
dren, is advised to consider that nagging
bacl, she is doing the very thing TO them
that irritated her in them. "Be 4 sweet
little hoy and don't fight with Your play
mates" Johnnie is instructed. Only
bad little boys fight" Which is non
sense. bat mothers are given to rluch
nonsense in making children good
Young folks too are bombarded with
moral ma,iin,s as if anybody ever paid
aav attention to raXims in a tight. There
it is that ones own interior serse OF

herited qualities. personal experience and

the sense OF actualitics rather than pet
tv words and admonitions determine
what che is to do.
Still angry passions continue to rise.
There are times where they should rise,
TO- person without the spunk 70 fight
for those qualities known as right"
and principles" has no passions worth
controlling or bringing into the light OF
scientific scrutiny. 1t is also conceiv-
able that situations exist when nothing
so clears the atmosphere. like thunder
storm in summer. as the picturesque Use
of profanity. One can imagine tho re
lief OF gorgeous, soul-satistying' mouth
filling explosion of "damns."
But the value OF studying anger re-
actions lies not so much in attording a
stop-gap to angry outbursts as in at
fording basis OF understanding OF anger
as such. Our own anger always seems
somehow sacred and justified. But it We
take view objective enough TO under
stand its mechanism. Invested OF all our
person al feelings in regard to it. we will
come nearer understanding the anger Of
the other fellow and sec that it too may
be justified.
The performance Of Others is never
quite SO outrageous, it, with true spirit
OF obiectivitv, We have watched our
selves perform.

CHEERING NEWS
Edge Predicts New Jersey
Will Give Coolidge 100000
PIuraIity-0regon Safe.

Two of the most serious phases Of
the present national campaign, ac-
cording to James Francis Burke of
Pennsylvania, assistant director OF
the New York headquarters of the
Republican national committee, who
was in conference with President
Coolidge today, are what he described
as the existence of artificial diScon-
sent on rte one hand and out-and-out
revolt on the other.
1t is these two elements that both
old parties must fight in the cam
paign, he stated. This menace Is
strengthened, he thinks, because so
many people throughout the country
src giving little thought to the cleo
zion. He pointed out that the con-
scrvative and patriotic citizens are
busy in the course of their natural pur-
suits; they are engaged in making a
living and in improving their con-
dtionS and the conditions around
them but the radicals composing the
third party leadership are alive to
the situation and are sounding their
call i'll a loud fashion.
Mr.. Burke contends that Coolidge
Will win in the coming election, but
he wants to see thte Republican and
Democratic vote so large on No
vembcr s as to completely wipe out
all Semblance OF the third party.
New Jersey Promising.
President Coolidge will carry New
Jersey by more than 100000 was the
good news brought to the White
House today hy Senator Edge of that
state Who recently won the Repub-
lican nomination for the Senate after
Il heated campaign by a large ma
jority Despite the fact that there
are two independent tickets in the
field in Jersey aside from the Demo-
cratic candidate. Senator Edge is con-
hdent that he will be victorious. He
does not expect his vote to be as
large as sthc Presidents, but ii Will
not be far behind. He is also of the
opinion that La Toilette will run
ahead of John W. Davis in that State.

House later, and was the Presidents s

however, to extend the honor to
