AS TO HEREDITY.

The Boston Herald thinks Queen Vic
torla may be regarded as fortunate
example that heredity does not always
perpetuate ancestral traits
The FIRST two Georges are not mon
archs of fragrant memory and her
grandfather was the man who brought
on the American revolution. Her uncle
George w., was an embodiment OF
what was worst In his house. Her
other uncle, William ~, who inter-
vened between her and his predeces-
sor was better In his morals than In
his manners From this unpromlsing
stem comes Victoria. OF whose father
the best that can be said is that moth
Ing very seriously to his discredit Is
recorded. says the Herald.
We believe the question OF heredity
has hardly been given the full consld-
Grafton its Importance demands. Many
suppose that by the law Of heredlty
the character Of every human being Is
so predetermined, as to almost do away
with free agency and responsibility.
The fact is that human beings enter
the world with a very complex Inherit
lance from ancestors. All inherited
traits OF character are not bad, nor
are all entirely good, And none are at
first developed. It follows that 1t de-
ponds largely first on the trainers OF
early childhood and, later In life. on
the individual himself, which traits OF
character are 10 be most developed and
become preponderating. Evil traits
can be conquered, and the good
can be strengthened. And here IS where
responsibility comes in, II the oppor-
tunities for growing In right
eouness are neglected; II the indIyid-
ual yields to the promptings Of the evil
influences, and surrenders without a
struggle. he clearly becomes response
bic for his own character. H. on the
other hand, he fights the good fight
with inherited tastes for that which IS
evil. as well as with temptations from
without, and thus enlists on the SIDE OF
righteousness. he IS entitled to credit
and all the more so because Of possible
inherited Disadvantages.
II Queen Victoria did not spring from
a tree that was incapable OF bearing
fruit OF a doubtful quality her life by
which she rose to an eminence beyond
reproach,i is an encouraging example not
Of the small Importance OF the power Of
heredity. but Of the power Of the hui
man being, aided by divine grace. to
conquer moral obstacles and gain
final victory.

While IN our democratic philosophy
we hold there is no ESSENTIAL difference
between royal blood and common blood,
we cannot be different to the fact that
high station gives to personal Influence
a FAR reaching power that effects the
minds OF men who are not by any
means directly subject to the rule OF
that person. Victoria, from the great
est throne on earth, has affected society
wherever civilization exists Conse-
ouently we in America have lost some
thing in the passing OF woman whose
influence has been so helpful and so
good, and may well share in the sorrow
OF her people.
