The strong address of the morning

Il have no respect for churches
which content themselves in boosting

his horses became frightened and
bolted. The driver managed by sheer
fortune to keep the wheels of the
coach in the ruts, and after the
horses had expended their energy he
made an investigation. Perched in
the rear of the coach was a ferocious
cougar. Before the animal could
spring upon him, Turnbul used the
butt of his heavy whip, but the big
cat leaped over his head and disap-
peared in the timber before he could
inflict the death blow. Settlers in
the northern part of Spokane county

meeting of the imperial press confer.
ence was held here yestei day under
the presideD,y of Reginald McKen-

eign Secretary Grey also was pres

navy.
If the navy fails" declared the
foreign secretary, 'it VII be USE
less to discuss any other subject. -
lie called attention to the serious
tone taken by Lord Rosebery in his
recent speech to the press men and
said he endorsed every word of. this
address. Continuing Sir Edward
summed UP the police of .he foreign
office as follows
ITO keep what we have got. to
consolidate and develop 20 quarrel
as little as possible with other peo-
piles and to uphold in tic councils
OF the world the ideals of Great
Britain. With SO muh at stake the
maintenance of the navy must be
the tlrst consideration, not only for
the home governm mt, but for all the
self-governing dominions OF the en-
pire."
In conclusion the foreign secretary
said that the present excessive ex-
penditures for armamentss made the
political weather "sultry."
Mr.. McKenna also spoke In Sc
rious strain. He said he fcresaw the
possibility OF the empire being called
upon to unite its whole strength in
the common defense of the home
country. He declared ne would as
sist the development OF TIE local
navies Of the overseas dominions in

spent more than SIS ,OOO,O 900 for pub
lie purposes and for tie benefit OF
mankind. The recent investigation

1t took Russell Sage flr.y years to
get $65,OOO,0o0. This greet sum rep
resented the pinching ana scraping
together of what amounted to $500
a day for the lifetime of the astute
financier.
Mrs. Sage Is nory giving away the
fortune at the rate of $4,000 day.
IL the widow continues her charities
at the pace she has set, all will be
gone in five years.
Comparison of the financ:er's power
to make money with Mrs. Sage's
faculty of giving it away shows that

keep him In modest opulence and
does not need any more money to
provide for the simple wants of a
philanthropist. The other steel mag
mates did not agree with Mr.. Car
negie. They still demand protection
for their infant industry and regard
the little Scotchman as something of
a traitor.
The strength of protection lies in
its appeal to greed, but 1t Is 'bunc'
for the masses. All that they get Is
the right to sell territory for wash
ing machines, for which they pay
dearly. But the prospect is allur-
ing. The trusts and few other
big interests get all there is in pro-
lection, and the people at large de-
lude themselves with PROMISES of
high prf:es for what they sell. How
ever, there is muca more certainty
of high prices for what they have to
buy. Most men rwe more labor to
sell than anything else ana they fn-
ally discover that 1t is nt the tariff
but organization that protects them
in the labor market. 1t Is a market
that is always open, pace where
free trade runs riot
The tariff that Is now being con-
cocted at Washington viii probably
bring in the revenue that the gov
ernment needs, Aldrich and Payne
will take care of that anc Mr.. Taft
will ihsist on 1t. But 10 suppose
thst the new tariff will reduce the
cost of living or afford any substan-
tial relief to the masses seems to be
folly. The tariff will help its
friends, as was originally intended
by the real leaders OF the Republic an
party, and the average humble citi-
zen can look out for himself the
best he knows how.

DID NAN EVOLVE?

/, That discussion started by DR. Rex
! fords criticism OF Mr.. Bryans recent
address at Columbus on orthodox
Christianity is still going on. 1t ID
getting deep in the problems of evo-
luton. Here is a contribution by Mr.
e c. Carter Of Lancaster on the
matter which touches a number OF
leading questions:
There are not less than 30 anato-
mical points Indicating the descent
OF man from lower animal form.
Ii takes but little study Of human
anatomy to show that man is de-
scended from an animal which once
went on all fours.
The liver is .arge, heavy Or
gan, poorly suspended by ligaments
from the top of the abdominal cavity
II was originally largely supported
by the abdominal wall. The appen
dix is the shrunken remnant of a
once important intestine. The levers
the human body are largely of tn
third class, which act at a disadvan-
tage in the erect posture. Man is sub
ject to many diseases because his
anatomy was not originally adapted
to the erect posture. Diseases OF tn
veins and displacements OF various
internal organs are samples. The
four footed animals are almost en-
tirely free from these diseases. The
theory of evolution is well establish
ed now. The discovery OF the Pithe-
canthropus Erectus or Missing
Link" and fossil remains of the Cave
Man complete the chain.
"A subscriber recently asked for
the precise moment when q soul ent-
cred man in his descent from the
monkey. According to materialists
like Haeckel, man has no soul His
individuality is the sum OF his molec-
ular brain action. In some cases
he develops intelligence equal to that
of the said subscriber and in some
cases, more. 1t may be that a soul
originates at the moment of concep-
tion or is simply development; the
sum OF our moral experiences. The
French Spiritualism. followers of
Allan Kardee, believe that the soul
preexists and enters any suitable
body at an opportune time and may
De reincarnated from time to time.
THE philosophical Spiritualist be-
lieves that the monkey has a soul oc
spirit, the same as man; that all
animals at death simply enange their
form OF existence and pass into an
other world. Also trees and flowers
the same. He believes in the contin.
uity OF all life as an indestructible
principle. The psychometrist can
read some Of the history OF an article
though sealed from his view. I'll
seems to carry an impress of its past
history in its molecular construction.
The principle of spiritual evolution
probably has no exceptions in organic
life at least"
