CAN LIFE BE CREATED?
A Problem That the Most Accom-
p1ished Scientists Cannot Sue
cessfully Cope With.

The problem of all ages since time
began has been the origin of life.
And the despair of countless scien-
lists and philosophers has been the
question: Can life be humanity ere
ated?
How to make life.-plainly, this is
the most fascinating problem that the
world affords, says the New York
World.
1t is true that the nineteenth GEN.
tury was rather inclined to the belief
that human woodworking would
stop short of this-that life would
never be created by human agency.
But Prof Ernst Haeclxel, who is very
modern and very radical, takes the
contrary view. Some day, insists the
German scientist. man will learn how
to produce a living substance by arti-
fetal processes"
Prof Haeckel calls attention to the
fact that in trying to create life man
Is only making an effort to accom-
plish what the plants in anybody's
garden are doing All the time. They
take so many parts of carbon, hydro
gen, nitrogen and oxygen and convert
them into protoplasms, the living sub
stance. Science can combine these
elements just as nature does. the pro-
portions being exactly known, but
not yet so as to produce life. ~But /
believe firmly" says the great physi-
ologist, that the problem will some
day be solved and the artificial pro-
duction of life become an accom-
plished fact
The difference between a thing liv-
ing and a thing dead is not a matter
of structure or chemical composition |
the two may be exactly the same in
both respects-but in the ability !
which the living thing has TO renew |
its own cells and propagate fresh |
ones. Blood taken out of the veins /

The Governor, Speaking.

Baton Rouge, La, Jan. 12.-Ir
reply to telegram from Cincinnati
paper on his view for the proposed
reduction of the congressional repre-.
sentation from the South, Governor
Heard said:
i Sin Louisiana it is possible fol
every male citizen twenty-one years
of age to vote, and the State is re-
quired by the constitution to provide
a republican form of government. To
do this it was found necessary to
curtail the voting power of the ignor-
ant and thriftless, that the public
welfare might be better guaranteed
and to meet the constitutional re-
quirement. The State that is burden
ed by large ignorant and thriftless
population has need Of a larger voice
in the affairs of government than if
her population were otherwise. An
attempt at this time to deprive Louis
lana of what little voice she has in
the national council would be con-
strued into unfriendly sectionalism
not justified from any standpoint of
national expediency. It would tend
to deter the disqualified classes from
attaining the qualifications required
for voter and impress them with
the thought that the dominant classes
are being still further punished by
the Federal government, and thereby
strife that had been allayed.
Since restrictions have been imposed
in our State our elections have been
fair and orderly, and our State has
grown rapidly in wealth and popula-
ton. The proposed congressional
looks like wanton renewal
Of Federal interference with State
affairs in the South, and, instead Of |
alleviating, would degarde the suffer-
ing and revive sectional feeling. |
Such legislation would impair con-
Lidence in public securities and check |
enterprise and investment.

Wives Must Pay.

The supreme court of Illinois has just
decided that wife in that State is liza
BILE for the debts of her husband.
The statute on which this decision is
based reads as follows:
''The expenses of the family and of
the education of the children shall be
chargeable upon the property of both
husband and wife, or either of them, in
favor of the creditors thereof, and in
ly or separately"
meaning of the term Family expenses"
est court of Illinois was one in which
suit had been brought for 800 balance
on a tailor's bill for a $3.50 suit of
clothes furnished the impecunious hus-
band of a woman of means.
The court held that the statute zap
plies to the expenses of the family
without limitation or qualification as
to the kind or amount, and without re-
gard to the wealth, habits, or social
position of the party; that goods pur-
chased by the husband for his individ-
ual use and used by him exclusively
constitute a family expense"
1t frequently happens that man is
sued for his wife's debts and in Georgia
he is liable for them unless he has ad-
vertised his wife as "a free trader
1t is a new departure to make the
wife responsible for her husband g
debts contracted for supplies to be used
by him exclusively. Under the Illinois
decision wife may be held responsible
for her husbands cigar and liquor bills
or any others that he may make.
Wives in that State who are blessed
with money but are afflicted with Jri
ing and extravaganza husbands will
probably begin to adopt the plan Of
publishing them as free traders
