1T is true AS reported, that there
are several cases of fever at the in

to some local cause, restricted to the

On the contrary, there has been no

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

The commission having in charge the
inauguration of postal savings banks,
under the provisions of the law pissed
at the last session of congress, has
been proceeding cautiously. One cen
ter in each of the forty-eight states
of the Union has been selected for the
establishment of government savings
bank.
Foreign-born Americans who had be-
come familiarized with the system of
postal banks in their native lands. it
is expected, will become the earliest
patrons of the banks to be established
in this country. There is no reason to
expect that the government banks will
to any large extent interfere with the
business of privately managed insti-
tutions. The interest to be paid by
the postal banks is too small to attract
depositors from established private in.
stitutions, and, moreover, the policy
of the government as already indica-
ted, is to select places not adequate
ly provided with other savings insti-
tutions. The declared policy of the
postoffice department is to establish
banks in communities where it is Ger
tain that they will supply a want and
will promote general business and not
interfere with it.

industrial and moral 1t must. how
ever, be forever borne in mind that
there Is no panacea for social ills,
that their disappearance is matter
OF slow evolution, and that not only
can we not go counter to nature and

these conditions, but we can go no

On the subject of the isolation of
hereditary strains Darwin is quoted as
saying: Isolation is an important
element in the process of natural
selection" DR.. Wines thinks he
might have expressed himself much
more strongly. He holds that the
tendency to the intercrossing of
strains is so universal and so great,
that isolation of some sort is the
sole bar to intermixture of blood.
Selection implies choice, rejection,
elimination. In artificial selection,
where human intelligence and Volt
ton control the conjunction of pa
rents, it is the power to prevent UNI
desirable unions upon which the
breeder depends for success in the
attempt to improve the stock, animal
or vegetable, by assuming direction of
the process OF propagation. DR.. Wines
maintains that natural selection, in
order to arrive at like result, must
follow substantially the same method

A TIMELY WORD 70 FARMERS.

In late issue of the Council Bluffs
Nonpareil Spencer Smith addresses a
timely and truthful word to the farm
ers of the Ninth district that is equal
ly applicable here in the First and in
every other district in the state and
nation. Admitting that farm imple-
ments, shoes and clothing are trif1e
higher than they were under the last
Democratic administration and that
the cause is the protective tariff: adj
hitting also that when labor is fully
employed at good wages all of the
necessaries of life cost more, are not
the producers of these necessaries
benefited greatly by such increase? In
reply to this inquiry Mr.. Smith sub
mits the following facts and figures,
taken from the Nonpareil of Novem-
Der 1, 1896, showing the prices of a
few products that the farmer sells:
Corn, per bushel $3.50. 80. 16 cents
Oats, per bushel, ........,.. IA cents
Wheat, per bushel ......... so cents
Bran, per ton .............. 600
Hay, per ton 500
Butter, per pound ........... Is cents
Eggs. per dozen .......... 16 cents
Potatoes, per bushel ..... 20 cents
In South Omaha on the same day
beef steers were $500; hogs, s315,
and sheep. 1928 per hundred pounds.
All of the above prices were the top
OF the market on that day, and the
tariff was Democratic. Mr.. Smiths
oily comment on the foregoing exhibit
is embodied in the pertinent inquiry:
"Can you afford to take the chance of
another Democratic tariff expert
ment?" The question is one every
farmer should take home to himself.
# he is willing to sell his corn at
sixteen cents bushel instead of six
ty; his hay at $500 per ton instead
of SIS to SIS; his butter at fifteen
cents q pound instead of twenty-five
or thirty; his hogs at s3.15 instead of
$3.50; his beef steers at s4.00 instead
Of $3.50 to $3.50; his sheep at 1925
instead of $40 to $3.50, and so on
through the entire list, let him vote
for the Democratic candidate
for congress by all means
But unless he Is willing that
the country should 90 back to Demo
cratic prices for farm products he
should work and vote for the candi-
date of the party whose policy of
+ protection has brought him the best
prices and the best markets he has
ever known. In this district that
candidate is C. A. Kennedy.

HEREpIrY AND ENVIRONMENT.

Mention was made in The Gate
City yesterday Of the Institution
Quarterly issued by the Illinois state
board of administration The publ
cation is one of exceptional interest
and value. Especially worthy of no
tice is an article by the editor. DR..
Frederick Howard Wines, on the
Completely Of Heredity, or the Social
Genesis of the Individual. DR.. Vines
discussion of the subject Is thorough
" scientific and highly informing
One Of the phases given consideration
al some length is the relative in
fiuence of heredity and environment.
The writer makes it quite clear at the
outset that without scientific knowl-
edge of the biological inheritance OF
the pauper, the lunatic, the criminal
ct Id omne genus, any scheme that
may be formulated for dealing with
these classes is likely to be crude
partial or illusory. It is also pointed
out that we cannot measure the
potency Of ancestral influence with
the precision that attaches to the
I chemical elements which form a spe
cific mixture. It's strength varies. first
according to the individual; second
according to the character of the com
bination; and third, it is affected BY
the character of the environment
DR. Wines suggests that what we
| cali the conflict between heredi+y anf
environment may be more properly
described as conflict between OBJ
posing heredities, in which the en-
! vironment is more favorable to tn.

LAFE WHEELER OF SOAP CREEK.
In his campaign addresses Governor
Carroll tells the story of LATE Wheel
er, a Davis county farmer and sheep
raiser, a Republican who left the
Democratic party upon the passage OF
the Mills bill by the house, which
dropped the tariff on wool. When
Cleveland was elected the second time
he declared he would not sell a single
fleece while the Democrats were in
power at shearing time For four
years the wool was stored and held
until the Dingley law went into effect
and brought him clear gain of two
thousand five hundred dollars. The
story with all its interesting details

EXONERATED BY
CORONER'S JURY

A telephone message was re-
ceived from Deputy Sheriff Tom
Marshall yesterday at Bonnie Clare
stating that the Mexican, Dolores
Espinosa, who was shot by a Greek
early Tuesday morning, had been
buried, and that a coroner's jury
had exonerated the Greek, there
fore Marshall comes back without
any prisoner.
The latest details of the affair
show that the Mexican was the ag-
gressor throughout the trouble. He
had evidently been picking on the
Greek and followed him into his
house and shot at him before the
Greek returned the fire.
The Greek, who received a pain
full wound in the leg, was taken to
the railroad hospital at Las Vegas
and is reported to be doing nicely
Deputy Sheriff Marshall arrived
in Goldfield last night and will
reach Tonopah this morning.
