NTHUSIASTIC APOSTLES
H. W. 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

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. .-...,.". '
