BRAIN ONLY NEEDS DEVELOP
MENT AND CULTIVATION.
Scientists in Convention In London
Express Belief That Aborigines
of World Are Better En-
dowed Than Supposed.

In many of the out-of-the-way cor
ners of the world are to be found
savage peoples upon whom the world
spends little thought and concerning
whom the general opinion prevails
that they are little better mentally
than the beasts of the fields among
which they dwell. But these same
savages found defenders recently
among the foremost scientists of Eu-
rope who had gathered in London.
There noted scholars presented argu-
ments to prove that IN many cases
the aborigines of the world were not
so far behind civilized man in respect
to natural brain power as the world
has been wont to believe.
No less than a savant than Principal
Jevons of the Durham university,
speaking to the lower culture section
of the history of religious congress in
London, advanced the remarkable
proposition that to exchange the en-
vironment of the savage and the CIV
ilized man of Europe would demon
strate in a few generations that the
AOiiiCl Noulu dCCuolOll HIS way dllu
himself to civilization just as certain
ly as the white man, surrounded only
by wild and savage conditions, would
lapse into the ways of the aborigine.
Then came a series of astonishing
propositions.
l.. T. Hobhouse, professor of soci-
ology at London university, compared
the skill of the Polynesian with that
of an Englishman. He admitted that
the brain reservoir of the savage was
just as great as that of the Briton,
and he further conceded that the
natural life of the savage spared him
many of the weakening impulses that
result from the vices of the man of
civilization.
The only cause Of the undoubted
mental superiority of the Englishman
he conceded was because the latter
profited by the intellectual bequests
of previous generations, while the
Polynesian remained at the same
mental level as his remote ancestor.
This was quite an admission for an
Englishman to make, but it was cast
in the shade by the report of Prof
Diechmann, a German savant, who
told how he had been studying the
arts of hypnotism and suggestion,
which are now taking more potent
place in the medical beliefs of the
modern world.
The professor told how he had been
astounded to find that the savages of
many centuries had through their
medicine men long exercised these
arts of influence and suggestion that
have the effect of curing a person of

WEALTH is UNAVAILING.
Declared Powerless to Afford Security
to the Wrongdoer.

There is very widespread impress
sion especially among the cynical"
said Rev. DR.. Thomas R. Slicer, that
wealth gives security to the wrong
doer and goes far to give immunity
from punishment
1T was openly boasted, in the case
of the policy king, AL Adams, that his
accumulated stealings from the poor
would guarantee immunity even if in
dicted. And this impression gains
force when the criminal is not of low
origin and mean practice, but has sur
roundings of elegance and associations
of refinement. 1t is a relief to those
who believe in the essential right
mindedness of the majority of our cit
iSens to have distinct proof in such
cases that wealth is no defense against
Justice and cannot always be made the
reserve force in conspiracy against
honesty.
When the poor man pays the pen
atty of wrong-doing society is protected
usually by the removal of one not a
very dangerous member of it's body
But the man of wealth and cunning
using the ordinary avenues of bust
ness represents more than the individ-
ual. He represents power and pride
and the infatuation which envy to-
ward the well-to-do is sure to engen-
der. His conviction, therefore, is in
far greater degree a rebuke to evil
influences and defense of the COM
mon veal.
I'VE hope to reach the point after
awhile where the mere facts of wealth
and poverty will be not so interesting
as they now appear. The really inter
esting consideration is this:
''Is a man so poor that he hasn't
the means of growth or hasn't the
means Of development? Or, on the
other hand, is he so rich as to be
crippled and encumbered?
Whatever removes the supersti-
tious awe which surrounds the wealthy
criminal and gives ample justice to
each man, as simply a man, must re-
enforce the morals of the community"

sentence of three years and seven
months. Gaynor and Greene, after
their conviction, fled to Canada. They
were brought back to this country,
however, and are now serving out
their four-year terms.
WILLIAM H. BELCHER was mayor
OF Paterson. He was an honored
member of the bar of the state of
New Jersey. He was intrusted with
scores Of estates, and friends had no
hesitancy in placing limitless sums in
his hands. While occupying the posi-
tion of mayor he suddenly fed from
the city. His flight disclosed embez-
Elements of thousands of dollars.
Search for him was unavailing, but
he finally returned, surrendered to the
authorities and pleaded guilty to en-
bezzlement. Judge Scott, one OF his
er days, sentenced him to u years
Imprisonment.
EUGENE A. SCHMITZ was mayor
OF the city of San Francisco. Abra-
ham Ruef was one of the city's infiu-
ential men and an acknowledged DOW
er in politics. Disclosures made by
certain city aldermen started an in
vestigation which ended in the con
vlction OF both Schmitz and Ruef and
their sentence of five years imprison-
ment by the lower courts. The court
Of appeals OF the state of California
on a technicality reversed that deci-
sion and acquitted the two men. Dur
ing their trial and part OF the time
their appeal WAS pending, however,
both men were lncarcerated In jail.

He even demonstrated that no i'm
measurable chasm exists between pre-
historic man and the cultivated citizen

Prof Sollas made an exhaustive
series of measurements. The results
he attained surprised him, for he ex-
pected to find the skull of the modern
man of education would demonstrate
beyond cavil that he enjoyed advan-
tages with which the savage could
never hope to catch up. What he did
find was exactly the reverse.
He found that the men of the So

of man, are in reality of the same
family.
