GODS CHILDREN--GIVE
THEM A CHANCE.
A Discussion of the Relative
Influences of Environment
and Heredity.

How far does the influence OF hered-
ity extend when contrasted with en-
yironment? This much-mooted ques-
ton Is discussed by Jacob Riis In the
May Delineator. and his conclusion
with regard to the adyisability of re-
eeiving in ones household a child
whose antecedents are unknown, may
be regarded as one solution Of this
problem.
THE truth is we are children of
God. That Ne our heredity. Backed
by that. what is there Of His work
and His world that we can not do?
"Heredity is factor, but not an
invincible one. We can do with the
soul what we did with the body. II
is Just question OF effort, and OF
the right remedy. The effort Is worth
making; for the civic death.rate, look.

TO his sons desires. Then. 10 ayenge
the sacrifice, he plotted and schemed
with all the craft OF his wicked and
preposterous old mind, the assassina-
ton OF his sons potential father-in-
law. But his senile craft was quite
transparent TO the wide-awake king
OF Bahama. He had no overweening
love for the dark-browed and too gush-
ing prince who came openly counting
his daughter.
But the king OF Bahama, In the
capacity OF Mr.. Montgomery Jones,
wss a business man, and business
munitions of war, commonly desire
peace. Therefore, for the sake OF
peace, the king of Bahama was pre-
pared to accept the suit Of the .galli-
! wanting young Prince Ludwig.
I But Princess Diana, the bronze
haired and golden-eyed. the gay and
the petulant. the proud and the can
did. was of quite another mind. When
the matter came up for discussion as
matter OF state she had likened
Ludwig TO a monkey and then flung
out OF the room. And Mr. Jones, king
OF Bahama, though masterful In most
matters, shrugged his shoulders in
submission when Diana banged the
door,
This increased the prince OF Syl-
vania's anger, and he sought a fur
Their revenge in laying other and deep
er plans for the assassination OF the
king of Bahama. This did not partic-
ularly disturb the semiAmerican mon
arch. He had been born and bred to
take risks, and another risk or so did
rot weigh much with him. However,
he was watchful. and IL was this
watchfulness which had made him so
quick to detect mischief brewing In
the launch. IL was, too, the long nee
essity of having to deal with sudden
crises which made him so swift and
cool In action.
II was, however. his knowledge oil
the motives OF men and OF monarchs
that left him quite undismayed when
the launch with it's dead had rushed
past him upstream. He saw at once
that the man who handled the siller
was an emissary OF the prince OF Syl
, yania. and that he would not dare "a
disclose his plight TO the police. He
| knew very we'll that IL would be bet
ter for him TO return and ask the AID
OF the man whose life he had sought
than TO have any dealings with the
slow and exactlng officials Of Scotland

y which keeps the statesmen OF
Europe watchful and open
eyed even in the most piping times
OF peace. Ii has been, for heaven
knows how long. a tradition among
war correspondents that soon there
will be trouble in the Balkans" and.
In a callous way, more than one war
correspondent built hopes on Mr..
Montgomery Jones. whose aiias-if
police court term may be used when
speaking OF monarchs-was the King
George ii. OF Bahama.
OF course. as king of this minor,
though tiresome, little state, he could
not lay claims 10 American citizenship.
At the same time he was more Amer
lean, both In appearance and In spirit.
than he was Balkanian. This for the
reason his father. George l.. had ac-
complished the hitherto unheard OF
feat In a monarch OF taking unto him
self an American bride and success
fully establishing her as a real and
recognized queen, Miss Cynthia Mont.
gomery Jones-for such had been the
maiden name Of the King Of Bahama s
bride-was lady OF almost incaicul-
able wealth, unblushing American pat
riotism and a force of character which
Is essential to the making OF multi
millionaire.
And her son George. the present
King OF Bahama. known In holiday
time by his mothers maiden name OF
Montgomery Jones, had inherited most
OF his American parents character
istics. They were characteristics
which were accumulated by the fact
that an education at Yale had beer
followed by stern training In finance
at the hands OF a Wall-st. broker, Q
training which his mother had con
sidered as necessary IL he were not te

bankrupt minor monarchs OF Europe
Therefore IL came about that wher
King George l. of Bahama was fol

American Queen, George ii. found
that IL his kingdom were small hi

and he imbued his Balkanian minis

INSCRIPTIONS, business spirit. As
result. Balksnia, in spite or his 70
mantle past and It's picturesque popu
llation and surroundings, became al
essentially modern and financial,

This was state OF AFFAIRS which

Senator Hale Says Congress viii Not
Authorize Four HattIeships.

Washington, April 16.-In spite of
the presidents urgent recommenda-
ton contained In his special message
to congress that four battleships be
provided for in the naval appropria-
ton bill that body is not likely to
authorize more than two at this ses-
sion.
THE naval committee will make
provision in the naval bill for only
two battleships," said Senator Haze,
chairman of the committee on naval
affairs. THAT number is sufficient
and there is a possibility that only
one may be provided for before the
bill is finally passed. There Is a
strong sentiment at both ends of the
Capitol in favor of only one ship, al.
though, as said before, appropriation
will probably be made for two, but nc
more"
John Sharp Williams said that more
than two-thirds of the Democrats
would vote against four battleships
and the Republican leaders appear
confident that at least half of the Re
publicans will do likewise.

willie investigation.

Washington, April ia careful
analysis of testimony taken In the in.
yestigation of the shooting up of
Brownsville, Tex, Aug. l3-l4, 1906,
and an argument in favor of the re-
enlistment of the colored soldiers of
the Twenty-flfth regiment, United
States infantry, was made in speech
delivered by Senator Foraker of Ohio
The senate gave an attentive hear
ing to Mr.. Foraker, the attendance be.
ing large on both sides of the cham
Der, while the galleries were filed
with visitors, many negroes being
present.
Before entering upon this labor,
said Mr.. Foraker in opening his
speech, 'it may not be amiss to re-
| mark, in view of the many misstate-
ments that have been made, that the
purpose of this investigation has not
been to embarrass the president or
any body else; nor has 1t been tc
make any capital of any kind, polit
ical or otherwise, against anybody OF
| for anybody
He continued to say that the inves
| tigation was to find the facts In the
case as a guide to intelligent action
He reviewed the incidents preceding
the senate investigation and said the
soldiers gave their evidence witt
such straightforward frankness anC
with such manifest truthfulness that
in his opinion, nothing remains tt
show their complete vindication ex
cept only the discovery of the rea
culprits, which time will surely make
unless the adage that murder VII
out has ceased to be a truth"
Taking up one phase of the test
mony after another Mr.. Foraker com
mented on it In great detail.
