the manner IN which heredIty 6 often
discussed by contemporary writers who
endeavor 10 treat the subject from q
nechanistic standpoint. Sometimes in
deed. the germ cell Is acknowledged 10 be
a complicated structure, but at other
times il IS treated as q plasma. which

the conceptions Of matter and energy 10
physics. or OF the atom 70 chemistry. A
living organism Is distinguished By the
fact that IN K what We recognize as spe-
ciflc structure is inseparably associated
with what We recognize as specific sc-
tivity- Its activity expresses Itself IN the
development and maintenance OF its
structure which Is nothing but the ex-
preston Of this activity. Its identity as
an organism IS not physical identity. since
from the physical standpoint the material
and energy passing through it may be
rapidly changing. IN recognizing Il as
an organism we are applying an ele-
meDtsry conception which goes deeper
than the conceptions OF matter and en-
ergy. since the apparent matter and en-
ergy contained IN or passing through or
reacting with the organism are treated
as only the sensuous expression OF its ex-
isteace.
Even the environment is regarded as in
organic relation with the organism and
not as mere physico-chemicsl environ
ment- II follows that for biology we
must clearly and boldly claim a higher
place than the purely physical sciences

The outgoing President has been as IN

been progressive in his ideals. Even most
OF his enemies have conceded the sin
cerfty Of his motives. but even some OF
his friends have found fault with his
processes. In dealing with Congress. with
men Identified with public affairs. and
with national questions he has been
frank, direct, searching, and sometimes
harsh He has been more apt 70 irritate
than 70 concTiate those who have differed
from hin. When he thoroughly believed
a thing ought 10 be done. ne had little
tolerance for those who objected 20 the

precedents But n spite OF the predic-
lions that he would be menace 70 the
country. he has never been unsafe" /"
Yet he was never governed by caution.
He risked mistakes rather than failure.
Strict constructionists have sssailed him
for overstepping the Presidential pro-
negatives Perhaps his regard for the
Constitution is deserving Of more respect
than that os some OF his equally sincere
critics He held that the fundamental
law not only placed certain limitations

What TariT Revision Means to the

The recommendations OF Representative

Wood Pulp are based on an unusually
thorough Inquiry. The committee did not

but visited paper and pulp mills IN several
parts Of the country. Il was hardly 70 be
expected that a committee made up OF
Republicans and Democrats would be OF
one mind about a question involving tariff
duties. out In this instance there Is a
unanimous report That gives all the
more weight 10 its recommendations. II
Is impossible to see how Congress can dis
regard them when II gets TO the revision
OF the tariff
The committee recommends that the
duty on one grade Of print paper be low
cred one-half and on another two-thirds.
Existing conditions warrant a total re-
mission Of the duty. but the committee
went as far as il could have been expect
ed 70 90, and much farther than the paper
trust hoped it would go. II the duties
were TO come down as proposed its prices
would have to come down.
The committee recommends that ne
chauicaliy ground wood pulp be admitted
free except when the product Of a coun-
try imposing an export tax. II could vel
have gone farther and recommended plac-
ing chemical pulp. which Is largely i'm
ported. on the free list Then Independent
manufacturers would have an abundant
supply OF cheap raw material and become
formidable competitors OF the trust But
much would be gained with mechanically
ground wood pulp on the free list Il
would mean cheaper print paper.

Shin Subsidy Arain Defeated

The defeat OF the postal subsidy bill by
the narrow margin Of three votes is an
indication Of the growing strength OF that
Measure in the House. where It has
hitherto had small chance OF passing.
Should the incoming administration make
a point OF subsidy legislation. there is
little doubt that We shall embark on the
ship-subsidy policy.
The bin just defeated contemplated q
considerable increase in the rates Of pay
for ocean postage on American lines other
than those carrying mail to European
ports. with z view to developing the mer-

From tie New YORK Tines.
Does the country realize that no single

The natural function Of the minority IS
TO criticise. and for wholesome and help

and time for study and deliberation are
obviously necessary. Criticism is not in
evitably adverse, and it is quite possible
that fair and decent joint consideration OF

operation between the leading members

The explanation IS simple. The tariff IS
not trested as q great public measure, but
as a congeries Of jobs. That, In It's origin,
its purpose, and its development is what
Il IS. The present majority Of The Ways

But Washington has come TO know Mr..
Fairbanks for the man that he IS. and
washIagton's conception OF him is a tes-

President, wrapped in the more august
dignity attaching to that high and hon
orabls Office And always and ever 1t
