THE Car Hog"

Chicagoan who refused to move over and give part
of his seat to another has been hailed into Justice court
and fined 500 That ought to impress his porcine mind
the fact that two seats at the price of not good
graft as it looks.
81 Think said the justice cit is time that we did
something with this street hog and I am going to
give this defendant taste Of what the others who are
brought before will receve
Unfortunately, the street hog is not digenous to
Chicago. Human nature-and hog nature too-are much
the same the world over
One who signs himself "a Visitor From Mars writes
to a New York paper:
'Can yau tell visitor from far country the
of the singular being often your Won
derful underground railway? He somtimes bears the
outward resemblance to the persons you call gentle
men, But he carries furitively in his hand small
brown cylinder, lighted at end, which emits
stale of sickening smoke. AS the air of your tunnel
none too sweet at best to my celestial nose, 1
cannot think gentleman would add to its badness to
the annoyance and perhaps injury of others. How do
you classify this typef"
In New York. the type is known the Subway hog"
and though fine feathers may make fine Birds fine bristles
do not change the nature of the hog
The hog in the street car is common to all cities, parc-
ulary in this country, where tamey submit to all sorts
of impositions And the hoggshness takes infinite
variety of forms.
The term car hog'' was invented years ago by Dom
Piatt The car hog itself invented by the devil.

IMMORTALITY OF THE
SOUL and The APE
Latest Statements of Prof Haecke Germanys Greatest
Modern Scientist, the Evolution of Man and the
Theory of His Souls Perpetuty-" Character of the
Human Soul and the Soul of Apes IDENTICAL
Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
BERLIN, June 1.-THE greatest
contemporary German scientist, Pro-
fessor Ernest Haeckel of the Univer-
sity of Jena, has been delivering a
series of lectures in Berlin on science
and religion.
Professor Haeckel is the greatest
German exponent of the Darwinian
theory of evolution, and his lectures
were strongly materialistic and athe-
istic in character.
1t is significant of the skepticism
prevalent in the German capital that
he was accorded enthusiast ovations
by the great crowds assembled every
time he appeared on the platform Of
the largest hall in the city. The ma
ture of Professor Haeckel's views on
the following extracts from his lee
ture on the descent of man:
1T is certain that man is descend
ed from apes. 1t is only regarding
the details of genealogy of the human
race that the opinions of scientists
differ.
1T is easy to understand that the
knowledge of our descent from apes
is unpleasant to many people. Man
is like the parvenue who resents all
references to his obscure ancestors.
Much more is known about the de-
scent of man than regarding the evo-
luton of the lower animals. The OPP
ponents of the revolutionary theory
of human descent have been unable
to prove that it is fallacious."
Professor Haeckel then proceeded
to explain why he denies that man
has a soul. He said:
The soul is supposed to have d.
vine origin. Those who believe this
do not explain why the Almighty de-
cided to create souls just al. the time
when man appeared in the animal life
of the world. When those who be-
lieve in God say. Man is the image
Of God we must remind them on the
contrary that men have always con-
ceived God according to their own
conception of the ideal.

Push and Smile

The city of Denver has adopted great motto. 1t is
''Push and sme.''
The speech is felicous. 1t has in the making of a
sounding slogan. 1t also has in it great philosophy
In the building up of town push great thing But
to push and to smile at one and the time is greater
thing decentralization is a conquering one.
The city which commands the service of who push
its public enterprises and at the time keep sweet
themselves is fortunate For there those who push all
right but who constantly rail at those who do push
These be knockers, even though they push
Push and smile, smile and push.
1t matters not how you put it. that both terms are
included.
He who smiles as he pushes his private business
pushes his private business he smiles opmst who
will get on The spirit of success is in him.
The smile that pushes the smile that will not off,
Behind the smile and the push is the man.

That the Elkins committee, which was supposed to begin public hearings on railway rate legislation yesterday, will recommend any drastic legislation no one believes. That is not the repub- lican policy: They are stand-patters on the present interstate commerce commission and Elkins laws as surely as they are on the tariff reform laws. These satisfy the railroads. The Esch. Townsend bill, that indirectly gave the interstate commerce commission the right to make future freight rates, was a brazen bit of demagoguery-a repub- lican sop to the people. as now appears and republican members of congress who voted for it knew the senate would kill it as it did. The senators will now bury 1t deeply by way of the senate committee hearings. And republicans generally will be glad to see that done, for the whole movement for govern- ment railroad regulation antagonizes their chief campaign contributors, and is democratic measure. It was de. clared for in the democratic national platform of 1896, repeated in that of 1900 and reiterated in 1904. No repub- lican platform has had it as a plank. The recent agitation was wholly Roose- veltian. and the majority in congress is not in sympathy with the agitation.

The general business outlook Is prom ising, says Banker Clews. Bank clear ings show an unusually large volume of business. The total clearings at all cities in the United States for the month of April aggregated about S2,- ISS,OOO,OOO, an increase of over 30 per cent above the same month year ago. This shows most extraordinary re- covery in business, although specula- tiOn. which is more active, especially in real estate, does not account for so large a gain. A considerable portion of the increase was due to the numer- ous important financial operations in various parts of the country; so per haps railroad earnings are a more re- liable index of actual recovery. For the last four or five weeks railroad earnings have been increasing at the rate of from to II per cent, whereas in February we had series of declines varying from 2 to per cent. Judging by the reports of railroad managers earnings are likely to show encourag- ing gains for some weeks to come, since all the roads seem to be taxed to their fullest capacity for freight, while passenger earnings are also being cor respondingly swelled. The progress of business will. of course, be largely in- fluenced by crop conditions.

President Roosevelt has appointed an engineer named Grundsky, whom he had thrown off the Panama canal commission, but for whom he wanted to make place, to position in the IT, rigation service, getting around the civil service laws by naming him as advisor to the director" the salary being $40O0 a year more than the di- rector, whom he advises, and three times that of the engineers with whom he associates. This prompts the Bos- ton Traveller to remark with consider able truth and force that "that is not the first, nor the hundredth time the president has shown gross and per nicious activity in the appointment of favorites and disregard of the spirit and letter of the civil service law. In the present state of the public mind, however, nothing much is to be ac- complished by calling attention to these acts, but it should be done never theless.

EAT DIRT: SHUN SOAP.
Chicago Female Physician Think

Chicago Female Physician Thinks
 That People Are Too Clean.
 T don't believe in soaping. Some people are better without bathing, and l am sure too much bathing is not good"
 In these words Dr Mary A. Seymour has startled the Promotion of Health club at Chicago with, her reply to Dr Cornelia Clatiin's advice to take two baths a day with liberal use of soap.
 We are not dirty enough" declared Dr James c. Price, who joined in the discussion. "The fact is, we are too clean. Children are not dirty enough. In my practice have noticed that the greatest sickness and the largest num- Der of fatal cases are among those who use soap and are Over-particular about bathing. We ought to eat more mud and clay. The trouble with the pres ent generation is that it doesn't eat its peck of dirt year.
 What is the use of these vacations spent in the county? The real bene- fit of vacation in the country is that you eat sand and dirt. You go into the garden and eat the strawberry from the vine without stopping to brush the sand off it. You eat other fruit and vegetables in the same way without taking them into the kitchen and washing and peeling them down until all the dirt and husk is removed.
 We must have all the hull taken from the wheat and nothing but the soft inside left. The fact is our intes- tines are becoming nothing but fiabby tubes.
 'Nhen the cerebro-spinal meningitis or some other disease begins to claim victims, what do the doctors do? Why blame it to the microbes. The ml- crobes are getting abused. The doc tors must have some scapegoat. They used to have the devil. But now, when they run up against something they don't understand, they yell mi crObes.' In truth the little microbes are the best friends we have"
 Soap found a valiant champion, how ever. in Dr Mary Donohue. She said:
 "In the tenements 1 have found children who had not been thoroughly washed with soap for two or three years. With much labor and liberal use of soap was able to get the soil off only in spots.
 'I believe that such conditions will certainty give rise to epidemics. An epidemic might start any time in the tenements of the west or north si;::a. We have had municipal ownership of streets and alleys for long time, but what is the resultI Our streets and alleys are so filthy that they would act as channels to convey disease all over the city if an epidemic were started.
 ''I believe we ought to descend on the city council in a body and force it to improve conditions. I believe that cleaner streets. cleaner houses and cleaner people is the only safeguard"
 II know that there may be individu- al cases where people do not need more dirt on the outside" admitted Dr Price. 'But in the Sreat majority of cases people do not have enough dirt on the inside. People must get closer to the dirt-eat more of it and they will be healthier
