to state an opinion of my own
which I believe to accord with
the facts, a theory on which
am stlll working?
In the physical realm the law Of
heredity holds good absolutely in
most respects, yet there is a place
for advance which is undeniable.
In the realm Of mind the law
Of heredity holds good only in
part. Some children have the
mental characteristics to some
extent Of their parents or grand
parents.
In the realm Of spirit, the high
est department Of mans being,
the law CT heredlty fails abso-
lutely. In other words, every
child comes into this world in
nocent, though not a Christian in
the fJil sense OF the word.
The effect Of the flesh over the
mind and spirit. and of the lat
ter over the flesh or the relation
of character to flesh and spirit.
this relation is partly known and
partly Unknowable.
But here is the vital point.

part of this plan, the League Will
hold a meeting in Zion Me. Church,

has the reputation of being one OF

Mr.. Woolley has spent his life
In the fight against the liquor traf-

hibition party was the only organic
ed political effort against the sa-
loon, Mr.. Woolley fought the hq-
uor traffic through that agency and
was, in one campaign, the nominee
of the Prohibition party for Prssi-
' dent. He is now, and has been for
several years, in the employ of the
Anti-Saloon League of America, be-
ing at one time Superintendent of
the League in the Hawaiian Islands,
and later, to bridge over an emer-
gency, Superintendent of the Wiscon-
sin Anti-Saloon League, and now
with the National League as a cam
paign lecturer, giving valuable as
ststance In the fights in the differ
ent States. Speaking of the Pro-
hdbftion party, he says: "The Pro-
hibition party has fulfilled great

PATERSON, n. J.. April 12.-Pray-

churches in the city tomorrow for the
success of the joint strike confer
ence which is to be held in the com

From the present outlook. however
ii is not believed that much will be

say they will not appoint their five
representatives on the joint commit

repudiated by the strikers
The strikers have also refused Sc

NEW YORK, April 12.-Mrs. Au-
gust Belmont, president of the Edu-
cational Dramatic League, appeared
before the Colony Club yesterday aft
ernoon to explain the aims of the
league.
Mrs. Belmont's address was made
at the invitation of the literary COM
mittee of the club. of which Miss
Beatrice Bent is chairman. 1t was
heard by two hundred club members
and invited guests.
What the league, formed in Janu
airy, hopes to do. according to Mrs.
Belmont, is to make use of the play
instinct of the human race and to
promote the educational value and
raise the standard of the amateur
dramatic work being done in New
York"
Groups are organizing for this and
that reform" Mrs. Belmont said, but
| venture to say that among all these
organizations there is none more i'm
portant than organized recreation.
Labor problems in America are Sc
rious, but hardly more so than the
problem of how 10000, 900 of people
spend their leisure. Many of these
are born without the slightest idea
of how to play, but with a strong in
stinct for amusement.
The dramatic instinct is in all of
us, and with proper and careful guild
ance can be utilized for the improve

PLUNGE IN CANAL ENOUGH
PUNISHMENT FOR "DRUNK"

That two fatalities were narrowly
averted last night was related in the
First Criminal Court today before
Judge Hahn, and the near victims
discharged. the court deciding that
they had been punished sufficiently.
Frank Ward, of Roselle Park, was
the first to tell his experience. He
was charged by Patrolman Newhall
with being intoxicated and attempt
ing suicide. The officer stated that
he was called to the canal, at Law
renee street, by cries of help, and
when he reached the spot found
Ward struggling in the water in his
efforts to reach the bank. Judge
Hahn, in dismissing the case, said
that a plunge in the canal was pun
ishment enough for even greater Of
Tense than drunkenness.
Patrick Conroy, freight handler
for the Pennsylvania railroad. who
resides at 1875 Fifth street. Jersey
City, was pulled from the railroad
tracks in the Waverly yards yester-
day afternoon just before train
passed the spot where he was sleep
ing across a rail. He explained to
the court that he had taken couple
of drinks and that he lost his head
and was not aware of what he was
doing.

With this end in view he circulated
a petition among the pupils at the
