In his paper on THE Selection Theory"
DR.. August Weismann. professor OF
zoology in the University OF Freipurg
points out that many and diverse as were
the discoveries made by Charles Darwin
in the course Of long and laborious
life. none OF them has had so wide
an influence on the science and thought
Of his time as his theory Of natural
selection. Prof. Weismann does not be-
lleve that the theory OF evolution would
have made it's way so easily and 80 quickly
after Darwin took up the cudgels in favor
Of 1t III he had not been able to support
it by q principle which was capable OF

monkeys, Various HYPOTHESIS have been
formulated on the lines Of the close rela-
tionship OF monkeys and men. For In
stance, Pitheoanthropus Is regarded by
some authorities as the direct ancestor Of
man; by others as sidetraok failure In the
attemp. at the evolution Of man. Then,
again, according to Ameghino the South
American monkeys from the oldest Ter
tiary Of the Pampas are the forms from
which have arisen the existing American
monkeys and the extinct South American
Homunculide, which are also small forms.
From the last species anthropold apes and
man have, he believes, been evolved. Tho
problem OF the monophyleuo or poly
phyletic origin Of the human race has also
been much debated. Serp inclines to-
ward the assumption OF prophyletio
origin OF the three main races OF man,
the African primitive form Of which, he
thinks, has given rise also to the gorilla and
chimpanzee, and the Asiadc to the orans,
the gibbon and Pithecanthropus. Kohl
mann regards existing human beings a.
derived from small primitive races
(pygmies). and considers that Homo
primigenius must have arisen In q seo-
ondary and degenerative manner. Prof.
Schwalbe's conclusion is that Darwin's
work in regard TO the descent OF man has
never been surpassed. THE moro we
immerse ourselves In the study Of the
structural relationships between apes and
man the more Is our path illumined by the
clear light radiating from Darwin. and

in our conception Of the universe. When
The Origin OF Species appeared fifty
years ago romantic speculation, Schell-
ing's and Hegel's philosophy. still reigned
on the Continent. while in England
positivism. the philosophy OF Comte and
John Stuart Mill, represented the most
important current Of thought.
German speculation had much to say
on evolution; II even pretended to be
philosophy Of evolution. Among Cor
man thinkers, however, the word -evo-
luton was to be taken In an ideal, not
in real sense. To German speculative
thought the types and forms OF nature
formed a system Of ideas, within which
any form could lead us by oontinu-
GUS transitions to any other. Goethe's
ideas OF evolution belong to this category;
II IL therefore incorrect to call him fore
runner OF Darwin, Hegel expressly
rejected the conception Of a real evolu-
ton In time az coarse and materialistic.
According to the writer Of the essay now
before US, the only one Of the philosophers
Of romanticism who believed In a real, i,
historical evolution. real. production
Of new species, was Oxen. Schopenhauer
praises the @ever memorable Lamarck,' .
yet he too repudistes as a wonderful error
the idea that the organs Of animals should
have reached their present perfection
through development In time, during
the course Of innumerable generations.
The positivistio stream Of thought was
not more in favor Of real evolution than
was the romantic school Comte rejected

thought OF this reconciliation. They
make more than one allusion to Darwin
in works that appeared after 1859. Some-
times they use his theory to define by con-
trast their own ideal. They remark that
the capitalist system, by giving free
course to individual competition, ends in
war Of all against all; and they make it
clear that Darwinism In its moral ASPECT
is repugnant to them.
1t is. however. at the soienufic and not
at the MORAL point OF view that socialist
writer's place themselves when they con-
meet thair economic conception OF history
with Darwin's work. Thanks to their
unifying hypothesis they claim to have
constructed, as Marx claims in his pref
ace to Das Kapital, veritable natural
history OF social evolution. Engels speaks
in praise OF his friend Marx as having dis.
covered the true handspring OF history,
hidden under the veil OF idealism and sem
tmentalism. and ss having proclaimed
the inevitableness Of the struggle for
existence In the end Marx, like OAR
win. finds the source OF all progress in
struggle. Other instances are cited bv
M. Bougle to show the use that social
PHILOSOPHERS have made Of the Darwin
ian laws for praciosl Purposes: in order
to orientate society toward It's ideals

thority OF natural science is on its side
Even In the most objective Of theories

straction Of all political tendencies ii

traces OF Darwinism are readily to be

in this short essay are cited to indicate
the extent Of Darwin's influence on social

but through that ot its opponents. Herr,

conclusions in a sentence. Prof. Thomson
says: The idea OF organic evolution,
older than Aristotle, was slowiy devel-
oped from the stage of suggestion to the
stage OF verification, and the first con-
vincing verifcation was Darwin's. From
being an a priori anticipation, it has be-
come an Interpretation Of nature, and Dar-
win ia stin the chief interpreter. From
being a MODEL Interpretation, it has ad-
vanced to the rank Of causal theory,
the most convincing part of which men
will never cease to call Darwinism.'

NO MONEY.

Our American" City council cannot
lay sidewalks on Center street, because
the City Is in financial distress. Not
w:thstanding the abnormally high
taxes, which are likely to be raised
again this year, the american coun-
Gil has not been able to save UP any
money for needed improvements. A
capable and honest business admins
tration would have had money on hand
1t would not have spent the large rev.
enue on salaries and wages.
The American city administration
can borrow money and spend lavishly.
1t can levy special taxes and pour them
out into the purses Of its devotees In
generous quantities. But 1t cannot
save ~ penny of the peoples money
Other cities with a business govern
ment. reduce the taxes and increase the
improvements. This City IS always at
the end OF its resources and depends
upon borrowed money and special taxes
for its improvements. How long can
that financial policy continue?
A man who should never save q cent
of his income but who should squander
it all and in addition borrow money
with which to buy diamonds and auto
mobiles and fine clothes and houses,
etc, would soon come to the end of his
resources. He would be considered a fit
subject for Jail. or an asylum.
The American" City council has no
money saved from the revenues with
which to pay its portion OF a sidewalk
on Center street It prefers to increase
the force in the various departments.
and to put men to work on streets
where the city's portion of the paving
has been paid. The question with the
American" City council is not chiefly,
as we understand II. to make improve
ments. but to secure votes for the next
election.

We agree WittlJan eastern contempo-

ought to appear regularly in the daily
papers, for the benefit of the public.
The railroads are public institutions,
and the people have an interest In the

bles. 1t used to be the rule whenever
man was about to set out on a Journey
to consult the paper about the depart
ure OF the trains. That was the most
natural thing in the world In some
States the railroads are required by law
to publish their timetables in two or
more daily papers But it should not
be necessary to compel a public In

ton needed.

ally that autonomy cannot be obtained
at once. and can never be obtained by
forctble methods. They can reach their.
goal by showing self-restraint,ca capacity.
and an Intelligent appreciation OF the
good will of the United States. This
country has no desire whatever to OPP
press the island or retard its political
and commercial development. But the
United States must insist that faction
ialtsm and bad temper be put aside, and
that the people OF the island do their
part in helping to promote good order
and good government
