Conn of the Wesleyan University at Middlerown, Conn., in an article in a current magazine, for their failure to distinguish be tween the evolution of animals and the evolution of man. In their stressing of organic inheritance he charges them with overlooking the fact that man is sui generis and that his social inheritance is probably more important than his organic. He insists that mental and ethical tendencies contributed by or ganic inheritance are few and vague while socialinheritance is great and in creases with successive generations, the invention of printing and other forms of preserving the achievements of the race having made this transmission .. cumulative almost beyond conception. - He illustrates concretely by stating that among animals the individual counts in the progress of evolution only through its offspring. The animal that dies without offspring has contributed nothing to the race, has left no trace, no inheritance. With mankind it is different. George Washington left no offspring at all, but his, contribution to the people of America and even to the people of the world can hardly be measured. Luther changed the whole course of thought of millions, but not through his personal poster ity. Dr. Conn might have' used every Roman Catholic clergyman, whether ; pope or priest, who has influenced his time or future times as another illus tration. Lincoln left a stamp upon our civilization "in marks that can never be erased." Dr. Conn might have added that "the stories of the life of Wash ington and the sympathetic aid of a stepmother had more to do. with shaping his character and inspiring- his ambition than any organic inhertance from father or mother. Dr. Conn's article revives the ancient controversy as to heredity and en- vironmcut. vvnue nui uiiueicmimayiig bear in mind that our civilizaiton is 1 1 1 . 1 .A. we nave Doaies superior to inose or me ancient jrecKs win ue comenueu uv few. That we have minds superior to those possessed by the ancients- will . not be asserted, by any one who has studied the fragments of their utterances that remain. Their skill in architecture, sculpture and engineering can not be denied. They had knowledge of some arts whose secret died with them. But the child now finds a social inheritance that has been preserved. Most of our inventions, for which our age is conspicuous, are based on the discov eries of inventors long dead, but whose primitive inventions survived. That our age is leaving this vast heritage to the future, whether our own offspring " or the sons of pBOple who -are now savages shall enjoy it, should cheer the . pessimist who spends so much of his time in needless worry over' the woes of posterity. REAT ARMIES of the unemployed are filling the cities "and towns all over the country. The demonstration on the streets of Portland the other day was an example of the number of men who are out of work everywhere". Fifteen hundred men were in line in that long procession that wended its way through the city's streets and asked of the city commission for help in the way of employment. - None of these men wanted charity. None of them asked for pity. Thev simply wanted a job. They asked the city commission to assist them in secur ing employment for a mere chance to earn their bread and butter"and an op portunity to support themselves and their families during months of winter when outside work is light. r The thousands of hobos who are travelling through the country and rid ing freight cars are not all of them confirmed tramps. Not the entire mem bership of that constantly moving army is "addicted to the .-wandering life. Many of them are out of work, travelling about from place seeking employf ment. Notall of them, tjfhtr, are single men for there have been instances when they have proved themselves steady men with families but who had to travel through the country by the cheapest known method in the hunt for a American Nations, Stand Together ! - - By THEODORE ROOSEVELT -1" THE American nations, such as Brazil and the United States, stand on an absolute footingpf equality.7 ' ' . ,-; : . , ... c ' i -3-j. l- i.- :- u - fi" i k , . .vnc i.aiuuiai uwuiiic uu jiiLii we uir agree is-mui America shall not be treated as offering ground for FRESH .

ND HIS FAMILY AFFAIRS job. . - James Gillespie, the locomotive engineer who was killed by a freight train in the Oregon City yards last Tuesday, is an example of this kind. He was an experienced railroad man, one who was trusted with the responsibility hat devolves upon the shoulders of the man at the throttle and in whom his company and his friends had confidence. He was a fraternal man and stood well in the lodge to which he belonged. ' But without work, without any apparent means of supporting his family he tried to make for southern points around the greater centers of railroad activities where the chances for work would have been better. . There are many cases just like this in that great army kflown as tramps now wandering through the country in search of work. The confirmed hobo, the man who never worked and never will should be placed upon a municipal rock pile and given the essential principles of the game. But the man -who really wants to work and, particularly who (s worried by the fact that he has a dependent family for whom he cannot provide the common necessities of fife is to be really pitied. ' - The city of Portland has taken the inititative in the matter since the inarching of that regiment through the streets impressed the city commission with the number of men who are without employment. Though it is gener ally known that at this season of the year work is light and business is gener ally dull throughout the co'untry, no specific cases had been brought to the mind of the city officials until this hurriedly formed parade went through the streets. " Every man has the right to live. He has the right .to sell his energies and time for that which will put bread back. When there is no demand for his labor, when conditions have reached such a stage that he cannot find work, something should be done by govern- mentiwofficials to relieve the situation. less is not so much of interest to society entail. The man who is without work, chase the necessities of life will resort to almost any means to make his way. Hundreds of them have joined the army of tramps. Some of them flock to he standards of those who violate the state laws, commit .crimes and depre da tions, injure life and property. " 'r Such a condition is of interest to" should see that the greatest number of its people are given work, that will provide the livlihood. Just how the state can accomplish this result is un certain. But for the benefit of the state itself, the reduction of crime and the elimination in far as may be possible of this constantly moving throng of homeless, wandering men over the country, something. decided should be done. .-...,.".
