The "Heredity" Excuse

Chas Cerew, vagrant, pleaded before a Cleveland
police judge that his whole life has been cursed by his
having been chrstened in babyhood with whisky
What small excuses people satisfactory
justification of their failure
1t is quite the usual thing for to plead that he
is drunkard and goodfor nothing because his father
such before him.
There's the commonest plea of all-heredity and s
the sillies
Ninety mine drunkards out of every hundred will tell
you that the taste forced upon them under some
peculiar condition. They e-every of them
The drunkard does not live who at period of his
life had not natural repugnance to drink and did not
of his accord and against the protest of his stomach
and his better nature batter down that repugnance and
acquire the taste
Heredty has its limitations.
More alluring lies and selfdelusions have been hung
that word heredity' than any other perhaps III
all the lexicon of specous sophistry.
Man is born of great father and good mother Does
that make him great and good?
Oh, mol 1t is claimed that heredity works that
way.
The who gets ahead in life is usually content to
take the credit to himself.
But the who goes to the devil always
somebod yese of having creased the ways.
There is denying that there is force in hered
ity and in early training and environment but it is
force that except instances may be
rightly directed
And out of inherited faults often bloom great virtues
The knowledge that you have weak spot is to
guard yourself thele-a that with the right
stuff III HIM Will obey
To one of Americas greatest actors transmitted
by his father double endency-one for the stage and
the other for the bottle The cultivated the first and
repressed the second, and achieved worldwide fame Ac
cordng to the commonly accepted notions concerning
heredy he should have reversed the order and gone
the gutter.
Heredty is easy way of accounting for wrong
tendencies that it appeals rresisby to certain classes
of scientific experts" it does to criminals drunkards
and loafers Quacks gain repute for proundy by hold
ing forth the laws of heredy," if they mys
ferrous ukases issued from behind natures veil which
few understand but resist.
Nnetenths of it all is tommyrot
Lots of people who criminals but just morally
lazy plead in defense of their that they the
of their ancestors Thus they derive the comforting
but character ottng conclusion that they not
ponsibe for their deeds
Every man, if he be at all, is master of his
conduct Yes, he is MASTER too of his thoughts pur
poses, ideals and everything of high Importance in the
makeup of his character.
There is nothing in the world that is tyrannica
yet more tractabe than the human will.
Your will is either your best friend your worst
enemy By cultivation you make it whichever you
please.
A may inherit from parents remote ancestors
weakness through which he may the easily
acquire taste for alcohol But in all case in
thousand it is strictly true that it lies with the him
self to determine whether he will cultivate that weakness

NOCTURNAL CHASE
BY EXCITED JAPS

About ten o'clock last night the
street called River. which is situated
PaIama way, was the scene of a noe
turnal foot-race which. during it's du-
ration, afforded Gbectators spectacle
as amusing as It was exciting.
Vociferous cries Of Police" were the
first indication that anything out of the
common was transpiring and then out
of an alleyway near King street rush
ed a man said to be stoker of the
g. S. Ventura.
At his heels followed q crowd of ex-
cited Japs, yelling wildly.
The chase headed up River street and
numbers of fresh Japs swelled the pur-
suit, rising up apparently out of the
ground.
The white man had the speed, how
ever, and crossing a bridge over the
stream, disappeared in a cluster of
tenement houses.
The Japs discontentedly desisted from
the hunt and returned crestfallen TO
their haunts.
The stoker, it appears, had excited
the animosity of the little brown men
by purloining a kinono al a house
where he was being entertained.
