there. Our little heaven push
es out and away into where boun-
dary ceased to be and definition is i'm

day is to hear the call that has tumbled

After short preliminary program at
the evening session Prof Thomas Z
Bailey of the University of California
was introduced and gave the following
address:
DEVELOPMENT VS.. EVOLUTION
People cover up their igroran nee now
adays by the use of the word evolution;
they even forget that according to the
chief apostle of evolution, Herbert Spen-
Ger, dissolution always altern ties with
evolution Thus the human body first
evolves and then dissoives In every
day living and working our tissues are
torn down, dissolved, and by means of
food, rest and sleep they arc built up
Not only is there disintegration or dis
solution in the tissues during life ard
in the body after death. but there is
disintegration in certain animal species,
such as parasites. These animals have
become ideally lower" but had they not
they would haUHsaeea, really dead. They
show relative perfection, in that they
have won for themselves the only con
dition in which they might live ard null
tiply. So evolution. dissolution and de-
generation are all necessary processes
But the term evolution is often used In
wider sense, meaning progrfs toward
permanently higher forms Thus Mr.
Spencer believes that there is a kind of
evolution Utopia ahead of the human
race. There is no warrant for this hope
in the study of the physical forces of
nature The earth, according to evolu-
tionists may become an inert mass.

process of dissolution may set in and
resolve us into star mist; or all animals

1t is a pity, indeed, that there is such
a preponderance of brass in the orches-

THEY ARE FORGETTING.


Republicans Are Not Keeping Faith with
the People.
There r some indications that tbs
republican politicians are forgetting
the lessons Of the last two or three
general elections, and are disposed in
some things, to presume that the people
have also forgotten recent political his
tory. The republicans carried the eoun.
try two years ago on protestations Of
supreme devotion to the public inter
ests. They pledged themselves to in
troduce reforms, to put an end to the
evils Of ring rule in states and munich
paIities, and to elevate the standard of
the public service by eliminating alto
gether the elements Of personal greed
and selfishness.
In some places they seem already to
have forgotten these engagements. In
this state the legislature, under the
dictation of party bosses, has been en-
gagged in Tanning through"-to use

states there is, apparently, a like dis
position on the part Of republicans t.

good.

inhdelity to engagements solemnly en-
tered into will operate to the detriment
Of the party in future conflicts. There
is a growing independence amongvoters
and a deepening Of the popular CON
seriousness as to the moral forces, which
will not brook in any party the methods
and policies of selfish partisan leaders.
If we are to hold our own in the country,
and if we have any desire to permanent
" impress ourselves as a party upon
the life of the time, if republicanism is
to be made a practical beneficence in
its operation upon legislation and the
maintenance of the social order, we
must learn to keep faith with the peo-
pie at whatever cost Of personal am
