THE "HEREDITY" EXCUSE.

Charles Cerlew vagrant, pleaded be
fore a Cleveland police judge that his
whole life has been cursed by his
having been christened in babyhood
with whisky.
What small excuses serve some
people as satisfactory Justification Of
their failure!
It's quite the usual thing for a man
to plead that he is a drunkard and
a good-for-nothing because his father
was such before him.
There's the commonest plea of all
heredity. and it's the silliest.
Ninety-nine drunkards in every hun
dred will tell you that the taste was
forced upon them under some pc
culiar condition They lie-every one
Of them.
The drunkard does not live who at
one period in his life had not a natural
repugnance TO drink and did not of
his own accord and against the pro-
test of his stomach and his better
nature, batter down that repugnance
and acquire the taste.
Heredity has its limitations
More alluring lies and self-delusions
have been hung on that word "hered-
ity" than on any other perhaps in all
the lexicon Of suecious sophistry.
Man IL born of a great father and
a good mother. Does that make him
great and good?
Oh! no. 1t is never claimed that
heredity works that way.
The man who gets ahead in life is
usually content to take the credit TO
himself.
But the man who goes to the devil
always accuses somebody else Of
having creased the ways.
This is not denying that there is
some force in heredity and more in
early training and environment, but
1t is a force that except in rare in
stances may be overcome or rightly
directed.
And out of inherited faults often
bloom great virtues. The knowledge
that you have a weak spot is reason
to guard yourself there-a reason that
man with the right stun in him
will obey.
To one of Americas greatest actors
was transmitted by his father a
double tendency-one for the stage
and the other for the bottle. The
son cultivated the first and repressed
the second, and achieved worldwide
fame. According to the commonly ac-
cepted notions concerning heredity
he should have reversed the order
and gone TO the gutter.
Heredity Is so easy a way Of account
Ing for wrong tendencies that il APP
peals as irresistibly to certain classes
Of scientific experts" as it does TO
criminals, drunkards and loafers.
Quacks gain repute for profundity by
holding forth on flaws of heredity."
as il they were mysterious ukases is
sued from behind natures veil, which
few can understand. but none can re-
slst.
Nine-tenths OF it all is mere tommy
rot
Lots of people who are not criminals
but just morally lazy. plead in de-
tense of their sins that they are the
sum Of their ancestors" Thus they
derive the comforting but character
rotting conclusion that they are not
responsible for their deeds.
Every man, il he be a man at all.
