Dear Friend and Brother: It is with
pleasure learn of the nomination made
at Cincinnati. This will surely bring
hope and courage to the rank and file of
the Peoples party. see Butler, Allen.
Weaver & Co. have nominated a Demo-
crat and Republican. but it is all that
could be expected; fusion with the Re-
publicans of North Carolina and Demo-
Gratis OF Nebraska. I, as a Pop, will
support those two men who represent
principle and not the tail of the Demo-
cratic party. Out of my scant wages I
will donate at least 81 month In teach
ing the people the principles of the Peo-
pies party.

First, Is the work necessary or an

ceit, call ''the lower animals" In our
general ignorance of the housefly we

sonably infer that he is as markedly
deficient as usual, seeing that his eyes
are so close together that they touch
each other. That's.always a bad sign.

eyes on the top of the head for use in

over the creature that has 1000 eyes on

to remember that they are not of much
account. In case of old flies kept over
winter the compound eyes cave In and
get broken. yet the fly seems to get
along and find food One kind gentle

Marion Harland insists that chivalry
is dead. Her proof is found in the con.
duct of men in the street cars. She finds
that fewer men give up their seats to
women than formerly. Taking up the

more and more engaging in the work
of men, The latter should remember
that woman is the weaker vessel, and
humanity no less than gallantry de.
mands that men defer to her To the
allegation that women forget the court,
esy of acknowledgment, she says that
is their affair" By comparison with
men, says Harland, every woman is a

Statistics on insanity recently pub
lished go to show that mental health is
not improving. Between 1850 and 1890
the population of the United States in
creased two and n half times, while the
mentally afflicted, including the feeble
minded, multiplied six times. In Illinois
alone in twenty years the population
increased 54 per cent, while the insane
increased 20 per cent. Civilization
and progress are costly blessings. The
demands of modern life are growing
more exacting and more complex. That
many break down under the strain is
not surprising. 1t is the merciless proc
ess of natural selection. The tittest
survive, and in the end the race is i'm
proved bodily and mentally. But this
does not comfort those who, failing,

tons might be approved and selected

dcfedlty and the niiCrObe theory
have been getting some hard knocks
during the past decade. The microbe
Is still holding his own as the primary
disturbance in certain classes of hui
man ailments, although the physicians
have now reached point in bacteriol-
ogy sufficiently advanced to enable
them to confidently assert that the ba-
cilli are not responsible for. every dis
ease that flesh is heir to. At the recent
International medican congress held in
Paris one of the most renowned of
medical authorities warned the younger
members of the profession against the
danger Of ascribing every human all
ment to bacterial influence. But "her-
edity" as an excuse for all sorts of alb
normal mental manifestations and
moral delinquencies has been almost
completely dislodged by scientists. The
time is gone by when the drunkard can
hide behind his inebriated great-great-
grandfather. Heredity can no longer
be urged as a sufficient cause for the
moral degeneracy that leads man to
appropriate that which belongs to 9th
ers. LOw-browed men may come from
low-browed ancestors. but statistics
tend to prove that under proper envi-
rOnment and influences the Ow-browed
youngster may be developed into a
strong and most creditable member of
society in spite of his progenitOrs. In
an address before the national prison
congress at Cleveland George Torrance,
superintendent of the Illinois State
Reformatory, placed the portion of
crime that is due to heredity at less
than 10 per cent. He maintained what
is now the commonly accepted view of
the sociologigists and criminologists
that crime is due to environment. 1t
follows, therefore, that a great major-
ity of criminals can be saved if prop
erly handled and placed under proper
environment Said Mr.. Torrance: Il
have no hesitation in asserting that at
least SO per cent of all young men and
boys who have committed crimes. If
taken charge of in time and subjected
to proper treatment, will become good
citizens. Ninety per cent of the young
convicted of crimes would not become
criminals with proper surroundings,
proper companions and proper atten-
ton" The sooner the ancient notions
about "heredity" are exploded the bet
ter for society and the state. The idea
that alcoholism or consumption among
a mans ancestors predestines him to
the same fate Is most pernicious doc
trine. and is sometimes appalling in its
consequences. 1t not only excuses
crime but superinduces n condition of
hopelessness that Is all the more pit
liable because unfounded. Heredlty has
had many centuries of moral derelic-
ton and mental despair to answer for
1t is time that the light of science was
relieving II Of its burdens. The new
science teaches that man is largely re-
sponsible for what he is: that his moral
and mental shortcomings cannot be
charged up against his progenitors.

Be so honest and industrious that your

Do not go anywhere that you would be

Make your home so attractive that your

Such a dignitary is Leung Kai Tin,

Chinese scholars and reformers. 1t was
Kang Yu Wei who first started the re-

Wei. He became pupil of that great
teacher. This naturally made the En-
