The doctrine of heredity as it ap-
plies to human beings has undergone
quite a transformation during the last
generation or two. 1t will be remem-
bered that when the school of scienti-
fic philosophy arose during the latter
half OF TIE nineteenth century, of
which Darwin. Huxley, Spencer and
Tyndall were the bright particular
stars. it was thought that hereditary
was something inexorable, against
which it is useless to struggle. 1t was
a depressing and hopeless outlook for
those whose blood was the least bit
tainted. and few could be sure that in
the course of generations they had al
together escaped contamination, but
the verdict was regarded as scientific,
and therefore final. 1t was so re-
garded because it was supposed to be
based upon experiments and observa-
ton, but the eNperiman were made
upon animals ard not upon human be-
ings.
When researches were directed to
the human family. as in the case Of
Francis Cations treatise on hereditary
genius it was found that while heredi-
aAOe
come near guaranteeing specific results
in man. as it does, for example, in the
case of a breed of horses or dogs. Fur
ther researches and observations
along this lire have now convinced the
most thoughtful students that while
heredity does open up in the human
individual a line Of least resistance
which. in the absence. of restraining
influences and deterrent environment
lead the individual to conduct similar
to that of his ancentry, yet environ
ments and thought direction exert a
much stronger influence. 1t has been
observed. for example, that children
from the slums whose parents had
come down from a long and apparent
" hopeless line of degradation would
in the majority of cases. redeem them
selves, if placed young enough among
wholesome environment and when
surrounded by a helpful thought at
moSphsre. The late DR.. Bernardo, whose
record and success as a rescuer of de-
generated human material in the slums
of London constitute one of the most
remarkable and creditable experiments
in philanthropy, has proved conclu-
sively that environments can and dc
regenerate boys and girls in spite OF
the most depressing hereditary ante
cedents
DR.. Bernardo's work consisted
chiefly in picking up waits from the
London streets and in taking care OF
them until they were scrubbed. as il
were. physically and morally, and were
old enough to perform useful work
Then he would send them out to the
British colonies through appropriate
agencies which he had established HI
sent a large number every year to the
northwestern territory of Canada, where
they were distributed chiefly amons
the families of farmers who needed
help in that newly settled country. II
is of record that out of the many thou
sands that were thus transferred from
the worse antecedent condition to the
new environment an exceedingly small
percentage only turned out badly.

CONTEMPT FOR LAW.

federal judge by the name of
Humphrey, at Chicago, has decided an
officer of a corporation could not be
held for the violation of the Sherman
omit trust law. the corporation itself
being the guilty party. Then when
Paul Morton, was manager of the San
ia Fe railway system, rebates were
given to favored shippers contrary to
law. This same Morton was afterwards
secretary of navy in the cabinet OF
our strenuous president. When these
facts became known, the administra-
ton asserted there was no proof that
Morton had any personal knowledge
with respect to granting such rebates
it was an affair between shippers and
subordinate employees It did not mat
ter that special counsel employed by
the government asserted that Morton
ought to be prosecuted, they were
oVerruled and the secretary went his
way with a clean bill of fare,'' as far
as the administration was concerned.

ANTI-PASS LAW

as a test case, in which railroads in
all parts of the country will be in

by the commission to bring about the
prosecution of railroad officers for al

to the Issuance of passes The com

granting of free transportation have
been made. 1t has been intimated that
the proceeding against the Boston &,
Maine is intended to lead to an en-
forcement of the anti-pass clause of
the law through the courts. If such is
the case it will have much interest to
railway managers and others through
out the United States.

After being three years away from
the operate field, Gadski patched up
her differences with Herr Conried and
returned to the Metropolitan Opera
house. Her success in the great Wag-
merriam roles, which she sings as can no
other living prima donna, was so pro-
nounced that it was feared that she
could not be induced to continue her
concert work, but Loudon Charlton
succeeded in securing her again, much
to the satisfaction of concert goers
throughout the country
Interest in Gadskis local appearance
is so pronounced that there is every
reason to expect a crowded house.

The stage career Of Archie Boyd il
Illustrates what young man can do
when he makes u'p his mind to do it.
When he was youngster in St. Louis
he sought employment as call boy
in Ben De Bars theater De Bar
at that time was one of the leading
actor managers of the country Not
Withstanding his humble duties as
utility boy at the theater, at every
performance he watched the actors as
they came in. At first it was as if say
ing: IF 1 only had the chance. l be-
lfeve / could do what Mr.. Jefferson is
doing" Later this phrase has been
changed into, Il will do what 1 have
seen other actors do, and l have at
least one great virtue-patienca' In
time the opportunity came and really
sooner that he expected. Instead Of
seeking it it was thrust upon him.
Manager De Bar said to him:
Il am going to give you a part-a
character part. l know you can play
It and you have got to play it, because
l know it is in YOU"
Greatness had come SO quickly to
the youthful aspirant for histronic
honors that confidence in himself was
not of the most assuring kind. De Bar
was domineering man-not unkind
but a man of positive nature As
the young man left the theater tbs
parting remark Of his manager was:
Il expect you to be letter perfect in II
hours" He reported for rehearsal
never missing a word Of his part and
in this way was launched young Mr..
Boyd who has since become known
nationally as Archie Boyd. the dlarac-
ter actor who has followed in the
footsteps of Joseph jefferson, Denman
Thompson and James A. Herne, three
of the really great character actors
Of the country. Mr.. Boyd is now play
ing Nathaniel Berry in Shore Acres,
which will be seen here at the Key1or

the law courts. Whence comes that Pc
culiar permanent characteristic of
these mountain people, confined in
other parts of the country to the prim-
tive stages of society or to moments
of passionate outbreak under supreme
provOcation?
The question is harder because we
have been accustomed to think, and
talk about these people as the purest
Americans and to attribute all their
variations from type to their isolation
in a gloomy environment. They nave
even been cited to prove the assertion
that race mixture makes for social
health and human inbreeding is as bad
as bestial.
But what if ancient mixture with
a race more American than themselves
had bred a wild and savage strain ike
those found in the West Indies ana
South America? A contributor to a
New York paper makes the strange
assertion that these people are de-
seconded from probationers and con-
victs sent to this country before the
revolution who escaped into the back
country and mingled with the women
of a decaying Indian tribe, supposed
TO have been descended from the Toltec
mound builders.
This would explain much OF the sing
ular appearance of these people as well
as their extraordinary customs. IN
dian blood is no new thing In Amerl-
can families of the west, but 1t runs
proudly in the veins of descendants or
the natural leaders of one race and
the finest women of the other. Here, II
the story be true, we have hybrlds OF
two degeneracies.

raiders are precisely typical of their
