A PROGRESSIVE TRIUMPH. I I? THE elections this wook indicate anything, it. is tho; triuiunh of in'oirrossivo measures and men, tho growth pf non-partisanship,' the decay of partisanship, and tho victory oC decency over corruption. ' In' tho cities of. tho country, local issues governed, cor ruption was sorely smote and good government triumphed. Now York rebuked Tammam, corrupt and contented Philadelphia woke up and turned upon its political cor rupt ionists, San Francisco repudiated a graft administra tion, and Cincinnati overthrew its regime of crookedness, despite Taft's personal ondoi'seinont, which he had tho poor taste to offer. Stand-patters, republican and democratic, combined with political bosses and Wall street to injure AVoodrow Wilson's chances for the presidency before tho country at largo, by electing a hostile legislature in Now .Jersey. But such tactics will only streinjihon him with tho people of the nation and as New Jersey has the presidential pri mary, "Wilson will havo, without question, New .Jersey's delegation. California recently answered President Taft's opposi tion to the recall by adopting it b a majority of .12-1,300, and both Arizona and Now Mexico showed their disap proval of the executive by electing democratic governors and insurgent legislature's. Ohio voted for tho initiative and referendum. Tn Massachusetts, Governor Fobs triumphed over a coalition of big business, railroads, and politicians and whilo the tariff was discussed, the result is an endorsement of Foss as well as of tariff revision. Where in tlio list is there any endoi-sement of the dry rot of stand-pattism, or of a decadent partisanship, except in Now Jersey? Groat gains were everywhere made by socialists, and their progress helps to emphasize the un rest and discontent of the people with reactionary govern ment for special interests a hopeful sign of tho people's awakening to the duties and responsibilities of citizenship. OUR ANTEDELUVIAN ANCESTORS. ACCORDING to deductions of modern archoologists, in.-ni luis inliiihir.wl thn nnvfli fm- -ir ln;ir II 00(1 MOO yeai, only a few thousand of which wo have any actual record. It is barely half a eenturv ago that the first fossil man was found, so that our knowledge of paleolithic man is of recent origin and as yet very incomplete. The Oligoocne of Egypt has recently yielded a strange anthropomorphous form, which its finder, M. Schlosser, pronounces "ancestral not only for all the Seiniuids (true apes) but presumably also of the Tlominids (ancestors of man) " As the oligocene closed about 6,000,000 yeai-s ago it is evident that human ancestry can lie traced back a.t least this length of time. At this period, the face of the earth was entirely different from what it is today. The present mountain systems were unborn. Tropic vegeta tion covered the temperate zones. Great seas flooded the present continents. The next fossil man found is the so-called apeman of Java, discovered by Dubois and assigned to the end of the Pliocene, or beginning of tho Pleistocene, before the Cas cades began to rise from the sea. It is a question whether it is an ape-like man or a man-like ape, so primitive in character is it. Following these ape-men, came the. Neandertal race, which inhabited Europe for from 200,000 to 500,000 or more years. The skulls show a brain capacity midway be tween that of the man and the higher apes. The skeletons are about the same average height, 5 feet 7 inches. Little progress was evidently made by the race in this period. At the close of the third ice invasion, late in the Gua ternary, the Neandcrtalcrs were succeeded by a succession of races, each of which were much more human, and left works of primitive art. Many fossils exist of these races, particularly of the Loess hunters, who were meat caters and fed upon the wild horses then covering the plains. Also the Grimaldians, whp left carved images of humans resembling the modern Hottentots. The Cro-magnonians, supposed to have been a cross between the Loess hunters and Neandcrtalcrs, lived in the last ice period, and were authors of the cave drawings of mammoths, bisons and other animals of that time. From all these races, modern man has evidently descended in the process of evolution.
