His Evolution Ideas Not New, bur

DIR. Lyman Abbott is making a great deal
more than is necessary of the doctrine of
evolution i'm religion, and some of his critics
are quite too vehement in their attacks.
That evolution Is generally accepted among
biologists is no new fact; and that there has
been an evolution in the history OF morals
and religion is a fact that has been familiar
ever since Jesus preached that doctrine i'm
his sermon on the mount from the text:
''Ye have heard that il was said by them Of
old time. The evolution within morals can
go on until we have learned all the meaning
and all the applications of the words: "A
new commandment give / unto you that ye
love one another. The evolution within
religion can go on until we have learned all
the meaning and all the application of the
command: Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart" Outsble of this
progressive evolution i'm morals and in
ligion there is an evolution i'm theology
which has been going on ever since the He

the retirement of all government notes and

substituting bank notes for government
notes. and business assets for government
promises as security. we may reduce our

WASHINGTON. Feb 9.-The amend
ments made by the Senate TO the extradi-
ton treaties between the United States and
the Orange Free State and the Argentine
Republic are not acceptable TO the Presi-
dent. He has insisted strenuously that a
fugitive from justice should not be enabled
to secure immunity from arrest and pun
ishment by sheltering himself in the coun-
try of which he was a citizen, which might
be the case under the operation of the Sen
ate amendments even though the surrender
OF the fugitive is left discretionary with the
government called on. Ii is rot probable,
however, that the President will go to the
length of abandoning the treaties entirely,
but he will allow them TO remain in their
present status, leaving il to the incoming
administration to pass judgment on them
and either proclaim or reject them at its
pleasure.
