Jacob Wis, the New York sociolo gist, who has been engaged to come to this city to give a lecture on Wed nesday, April 12, is an authority on qucstlonr concerning the alum side of life having seen much of the slums In the Metropolis as a reporter on New York papers. He has seen boys and girls under all the conditions that exist in a great city at least he has seen conditions in nearly every con ceivable phase and he has this to say In the matter: "Dad boys and girls are not born but made. I do not believe In the theory I of heredity. All boys are good boys, j all girls are good girls, when they ; begin life. They are made bad by j environment and training. The child ren must have room to play." Naturally Mr. Wis is speaking of en vironment because of the fact that ho has been so closely associated with environment. Among the people In are wise It will be raised and the mad comploted, equipped and operated by Its citizens with the management al ways In the handi of her people. The sectl m of country to be tapped by this proposed road ts among the best In the county. The road proposed will tap a goodly section of It It built out Molalla way In a line that constitutes good railroad building. I)ut what about building the line tn such a shape that while It may not be Ideal railway building It will be at least an Ideal lay-out aa to the tapping of the territory traversed and so constructed will be greatly appreciated by the peo ple Interested in the success of the road.

NEW RAILWAY PROJECT. The prospect of the building of a railway out Molalla way through Bea ver Creek seems to have taken on the garb of certainty. If we are to believe the statements of business men inter ested, and coming from men who gen erally say what they mean and know what they say, then Is the matter set tled In so far as the grading Is con cerned. That should be good news to citi zens of Oregon City. The building of such a road means business salvation a little ana see if mere is not evi dence about that shows a reason why he hates him, and his methods, and figure if It wouldn't be better not to talk at all but Just keep still and saw wood. But it matters not to Mr. Roosevelt how many criticise him ln fact he grows fat on criticism he still keeps right on doing and saying what he be lieves to be right. There Is no man in public life today who can thrive on more opposition than he can, and the more he is assailed the stronger he seems to become. He is a good man to listen to, and it is wise to at least stop and consider the criticisms that he hands out to those who look to him as doing wrong, and In many cases doing wrong that they ihay profit per sonally.
