brought out in their fullest fntensitfes
He improves upon the proverb that
to reform a man you must begin with
his grandfather, by saying that you
must begin with the grandfather when
he is child. He advises against too
early schooling, and expresses the be-
lief that ''overeducatfon is the curse
saying that the age Of ten is time
enough to think Of school. Prior to
that period he would have the child
live In the open, in close touch with
nature, where he can get plenty Of sun
shine, good air and nourtshfng food
He contends that by crossing, selection,
cultivation and persistence you can fix
in the child any desira BILE trait, be it
honesty, fairness, purity, industry,
thrift. or what not He admits that
heredity will make itself felt first, and
that there will be strong tendencies to
reversion to ancestral traits, but, in the
main, you can give the child the desir-
able traits by patience and we'll direct
ed supervision in the formative years.
His studies have led him to the cOnclu-
sion that environment is the architect
Of heredity and that all characteristics
which are transmitted have been ac-
qufred.
RooseveIt's Four Maxiros.
Jacob Riis in a recent address at
Philadelphia said that President Roose-
welt had placed his policy in four hith-
erto unspoken maxims, as follows:
Ffrst.-Fit yourself for the work God
has for you to do in this world and
lose no time about it.
Second.-Have all the fun that is
coming to you.
Third.-Go ahead, do something and
be willing to take the responsibility.
Fourth,-Learn by your mistakes.
Says There Is No Soul.
In a public lecture on psychology in
the state university at San Francisco
Dr. r. 2. Angler Of Yale declared that
according to his new psychology
there is no soul or attributes Of the
soul. The soul, he said, according to
new psychologists, exists only as a
logical postulate, merely symbolic alb
breviation, Independently of its express
stons and functions Of the psychic
facts themselves

Work district attorneys Office that there
was a conspiracy in the work Of the In
ternational Policy Holders committee
to vote forged and void ballots at the
recent election of trustees for the New
York life. three representatives of the
committee were arrested, including
George r. Scrugham, manager. The
main point of the charge is that just
prior to the election a large number of
ballots for the policy holders ticket
were not in proper form, and were al
tered by the accused men so as to
make them comply with the insurance
law. Mr. Scrugham defends his course
by saying that the altered ballots were
deposited with a statement of the cir
cumsta noes SO that the matter could be
passed upon by the proper authorities,
and his course is defended by Samuel
Untermyer. counsel for the committee.
The charges were based upon state
ments made by women employees Of
the committee who had been dismissed
and subsequently were employed by
the New York Life.
On the same day Jacob Frank, an
agent of the New York Life, was ar
rested on complaint of Mr.. Scrugham
on charge Of forgery in signing the
names of about $50 policy holders bal
lots, from some of whom he had con-

Packers Rebate Fines Upheld.
At st. Paul in the circuit court Of
appeals Judge Sanborn filed the opin-
ion affirming the judgments against
the packers for accepting concessions
of II cents hundred less than the es-

the subject of a conference between
President Roosevelt and President
Mellen of the New Haven system at
the White House. The railroad man,
who is known as personal friend of
the president, frankly said that he was
in favor of such course and that he

Coalition Thwarts Hughes.
When the New York state senate vot-
ed q to "A against the removal Of In
surance Superintendent Kelsey, con-
trary to the recommendation Of Gov
ernor Hughes, after an exhaustive in
vestigation of Kelsey's official conduct,
the state and the country at large were
appraised that the reform policy repre-
sented by Hughes had come up against
q wall of obstruction composed of the
Democratic machine in league with
minority of the Republican regulars"
Prior to the vote the great tension had
been evident, and bitter words were
spoken by partisans of either side.
The coalition was managed by Sen
ators McCarren and Grady on the Dem
| ocratic side and Raines for the Repub
leans. while Armstrong led the Re-
publican contingent in favor of the gov
errors policies. The speeches of the
opposing Republicans showed yeno-
nous antagOnism. For instance, Sen
ator Ranes said that if the governor
was attempting to use the big stick to
coerce the legislature he could see the
end Of Governor Hughes, while Senator
Armstrong deliberately notified the
Raines following that if they persisted
in crucifying the governor they would
not come back to Albany to do 1t again.
He characterized the anti Hughes men
as crooked sticks, to which rubber
stamps were much preferable, thus an
swering the remark of Senator Hooker
that il the legislature was to be the
rubber stamp of the governor there
was no use of it's converting. Antici-
pating the result, Governor Hughes
had called up the matter of legislative
reapportionment, thus indicating his
espousal of a measure which would
endanger the reelection of many of his
opponents.
