concludes, is to put a damper

Look at your friend, your

man, Mr.. Burroughs exclaims,
and try to bring home to your
mind the fact that back in the
abyss of geologic time the an
cestors of each of these persons
was an animal lower than those
we spurn daily with our feet.
Let it be granted, he says, that
the race of man was born as
literally out of the animal forms
below him as the child is born
out of the vague, parental ami
m a l forms in its mothers
womb. Yet "the former fact so
far transcends out experience
and even our power of magma
tor. that we can receive it only
by an act of scientific faith, as
our fathers received the dog
mas of the church by an act of
religious faith" Mr.. Burroughs
continues: 81 confess that |

Mr.. Bryan's Influence In the
New York Congress

FEATURE of the new Congress
that has elected some comment
is the influence Mr.. Bryan is
likely to exert. Champ Clark
is counted as a Bryan man. So
is Underwood, the new chair
man Of the ways and means
committee, who is picked by
most of the correspondents as
the man most certain to COM
pete with Clark for the real
leadership. Every Democrat
on the rules committee, more
over, is reported to belong to
the Bryan wing. In the Senate,
t h Democratic leadership
probably lies between Stone, of
Missouri, and Bailey, of Texas
Bailey is the ADLER man, but he
is entirely out of sympathy
with most of the members of
his party and Stone, who is a
Bryan man, is thought to have
already established himself as
the real sleader of the Senate
Democrats. In addition, John
w. Kern, the new Senator from
Indiana, is not only Bryan
man, having been selected by
Mr.. Bryan himself two years
ago for his running mate), but
is regarded in Indianapolis,
where hissshome is, as in fact a
spokesman for the Nebraska
statesman and his special am
bition will be to make the
Bryan policy triumphant in the
next session. With Mr.. Bryan
thus entrenched in both houses,
"any aspirant for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination
next year." according to the
New York Press, "who has him
for an enemy will not have an
easy road to victory" In this
connection, it may be observed,
Mr.. Bryan's paper, The Com
moner, has already declared
that it "does not consider Gov.
ernor Harmon as an available
man for the Democratic nomi-
nation" and it has taken speci
al pains to extend to Governor

Ellen Key frankly regards the

sum upi her book every phase
of the marital unrest no w

compelled to choose, she de-
clares, between the idea O
homogeneous marriage, as
an expression of the claims of
human life. She herself accepts
the latter alternative. with
ever-growing seriousness" she
says, "the new conception of
morality is affirmed; that the
race does not exist for the sake
of monogamy, but monogamy
for the sake of the race; that
mankind is therefore master of
monogamy, to preserve or to
abolish it," Ellen Key does not
propose to abolish monogamy,
but she favors changes in the
marriage code so radical that,
if Endorsed by the conscience of
mankind, they would change
the whole face of society.-Cur.
