~ y AMERICAN admirer OF Lloyd
~ George recently and facetiously
declared that the virtual ruler or
the British empire was neither the king
nor the premier, Mr.. Asquith, but the
great chancellor of the exchequer, whose
reform measures have practically been
revOlutiOnizing the very constitution Of
England. The little radical Welshman,
however, is in feeble and declining
health, and the question is who is to
take his place when he is gone? On
every hand we hear acclaimed that lib
eral OF liberals, Winston Spencer
Churchill, as the man for the Job De-
scribed by an acute Judge of contem-
pOrary nOtables, Henry " Lacy, as q
born parhamentarian, whose fathers
genius, Lord Randolph ChurchilIs, lives
again IN this ambitious son, there ap-
pears to be no honor in the political
world Of Britain to which the still youth
ful statesman is not destined to sue
coed. He may yet prove to OvershadoW
the fame Of Lord Randolph, even as
William Pitt eclipsed the renown of
Lord Chatham.
We are prompted by these illusions
to ask ourselves the well worn query,
is genius tTansmissiblel And though
the most authoritative, latter day die
tum Of science answers in the negative,
there are not a few noteworthy excep-
tions that involuntarily occur to the
mind.
Night we not. first Of all. cite from
among the aneients such fathers and
sons, respectively, as Philip of Macedon
and Alexander the Great, Hamilcar and
Hannibal, ARGUS Junius Brutus and
Lucius Junius Brutus. Vespasian and
Titus Also, we find genius resident
both in Pepin and his offspring, Charlie
magne, to which case might be added
did space permit, the few great medieval
English kings who were also the sons
of great kings. Nor should we omit to
mention the poets Bernardo 4assO and
his progeny, Torquato Tasso, also the
great Nicholas Bacon and the still
greater Francis Bacon Indeed, the list
might be multiplied to an appreciate
Inquire by taking an extended tour in
universally biography. There are, besides,
quite number of fathers and their sons
possessed of such extraordinary talent
that they might, by slightly stretching ..
point, be likewise called men OF genius.
In the. biographies of great Germans
we see this TACT especially creeping out
now and then; and IN France, to men
ton only three cases. we find genius
- SUN a sire anu OAAH -Alel
as Ellenne Saint Hilaire GeoffrOY and
lsadOre Saint Hilaire Geoffroy. as La
zare HipOlyte Carnot and Sadi Carnot,
and as Alexandra Dumas, pere, and Alex
andre Dumas, fills.
Quite rich in illustration of the ap-
parent hereditary transmission of genius
is the list among Englishmen. Here,
combining our examples to those whose
fame belongs to the last century, We
may select at random such names as
Sir William Herschel and Sir John Fred
erick William HerscheI. astronomers.
George Canning, orator and prime min
ister, and Charles John Canning (earH.
first viceroy of India; Edward Bulwer.
Lord Lytton, novelist and Robert. Lord

It is observable from the examples re-

itself IN the same sphere of endeavor,

or excellence of the other.
1t goes without saying that illustra-
1lons, perhaps far. more innumerable,
might be given to- prove the contention
OF the best recent scientific thought
namely. that meRtal attributes are not
ihheritable, or, as Ebert Hubbard bold
" puts IT. Great men are not capable
OF transmitting their genius to their
sons. For all that we believe we have
produced a sufficient number of concrete
exceptions to affirm that in this particu-
lar Ihe late dietum of science, which OF
course Is never empirical is not alto

 This description will fit any $500 car on the market. Compare and be con vinced.
 So far as the other features go, you cannot find car that IS more complete nor more up-to-date than the Overland.
 It is combination of everything that has proven practical in the motor car world. One small but important feature is the famous Overland center control We adopted this several years ago. In fact, we practically started center control Tn this country. By degrees the others fell in line. They had to- One well known $50O0 car has adopted center con- trol for something we did three years ago. And until we find something better we will continue center control simply because 1t is the most practical location for both operating levers and if gives you full use of both fore doors.

OIDermak- CTS being higher in price incorporate in their cars one or two of these fea- tureless features, and this is their sole excuse to get a much higher price for a car that is fundamentally no better, and in the ma- jority of cases not as good as the Overland.
