inter-dependence. It is never the nldi- vidual who creates moral conduct. Morals are part of the social arithmetic, the dis covery and adhesion to that feast com mon denominator" whereby the individ- ual soul-fracton is absorbed and melted into the true human integer. Religion IS the discovery and recognition of the Law of the Universe, running through space and time, and linking itself with each spiritual atom, creating alike It's destiny and it's passion for the fulfillment thereof. The individualist who is thorough going is the hermit the tramp, the thief, who de- clines to admit the authority of morals, and prefers to prey on society rather than surrender himself to it's service.
 Few will go so far; yet are there quasi individualists who deplore all excessive catering to the weakness of the human soul. Solitary and alone they would have it stand, untainted by the disposition to lean on others. If 1t is too weak to stand. they say, let it fall.

 Friendship, however. was never in any instance mere dependence, but inter-de- pendence. David was no weakling no parasite, no pauper, living on the royal affluence of Jonathan, thankful for Jon sthan's love because 1t saved his skin in the day of saul's disfavor. David was necessary to the prince,

What Is of infinitely greater signif- canoe Is the value of the individual atom to the mass, the value of the individual child to the family, of the individual cit izen to the state or city.

 What are the best means of mitigating this unsatisfactory state of affairs? Fol lowing the enunciations of Bentham, and enlarging somewhat on his theory. this writer concludes that i've must adjust our methods of penal punishment to the nature of the offender as well as to the nature of the offence. As far as adults are concerned the existence of this prln- ciple is practically ignored. It is assumed that all offenders are the same. and are therefore affected in exactly the same way and to the same extent by penal dis cipline." There is hope, he finds. in a reconstruction of penal law with view to cope with the conditions which produce the criminal population-a criminal popu- lation composed of many types. It is com posed of casual offenders who do not diff fer from the average person; it is com posed of juvenile offenders; 1t is com posed of habitual drunkards, begears, va grants It is useless applying the same method of punishment to each and all of these classes of offenders" "It may be said that this proposal is throwing new and unaccustomed functions upon courts

Justice, MT. Gore was one of her sena- tors. He drew the short term, which proved to be fortunate, for he was duly reelected for full 1rm, which will ex- pire in 1915.
 The Oklahoma statesman has not the ex- uberant and prolific vocabulary of Martin W. Littleton. He Is not the scholar Henry Cabot Lodge and John Sharp Williams are. His reading is not so extensive as John Dalzelps; but his speeches discover him to be equal, as an orator, of any man in either house of Congress, and they aro clothed in about the finest English the Senate has heard since the retirement of E.. w. Carmack. Indeed, to find anything better you must go back to Matt Carpen- ter, l.. c. c. Lamar, David Turpie. James B. Eustis and Roscoe Conkling. I regret that 1t has not been my fortune to hear MT. Gore, for I rarely visit the Senate galleries. There are too many four-day "hand-runnin' !" orators over there TOT me. I heard at least six hours of Ever lasting" Aliens 15-hour speech. That cured me of the Senate, though I heard some of Delivers tariff speeches in 1909.
 Not only are Senator Cores speeches beautiful and perfect English, but they are convincing logic, and with practice

of justice, and to a certain extent this is no doubt the fact. But it is also to be remembered that as social orga nization increases in complexity, the machinery of government must be adapted to these new conditions. The judicial machine is at present of too primitive a character: Tn order to do its work efficiently It must be reconstructed, it's functions enlarged. :"

I foresee no ultimate security-no rest-haven where the weapons may be carelessly put aside There must be no relaXation-no faint heartedness now-more especially now, since men like Lombroso, Ferraro.

in a brief paper, which mine must per- force be. Yet my study of this picture draped in black, casual though 1t has been, has not left me hopeless. Criminal anthropology, as he has termed his inves- tigations, Is really an inquiry on scien- tific principles into the physical, mental and pathological characteristic of the criminal population As result of .his investigation he finds that "the criminal population as a whole, but the habitual criminal in particular is to be distsn- gushed from the average member of the community by a much larger percentage of physical anomalies. These anomalies consist of malformations in the skull and brain and face. The organs of sense are also the seat of many anomalies. such as abnormal development of the ear, abnor- malities of the eye and it's protecting or gans abnormalities of the nose, such as a total absence or defective development of the bony skeleton; abnormalties of the mouth such as hare-lip high palate" etc., etc. We have also sexual peculiar ities, such as femininism in men, maseu- lism in women, and infantilism Tn both. These mental anomalies are visible among the criminal population in an absence of moral sensibility, In general instability of character, in excessive vanity, excessive irritablity, love of revenge, and, as far as habits are concerned, descent to GUS toms and pleasures akin in their nature to the orgies of uncivlized tribes. The hao- itual criminal is a product, according to Dr. Lombroso, of pathological and atav
 istic anomalies; he stands midway be- tween the lunatic and the savage, and he represents special type of the human race" In short he finds in all habitual crime, evidences of degeneracy.

 Talk of fragments! The soul itself is fragmentary. The units we call men and women are not units, or are rarely in tegers at all.
