From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Alfred Russell Wallace, the English
scientist, did not outlive the reputa-
ton that his researches in evolution
and biological science brought him,
but his outlook on life at shutdown
was not that of the hopeful dawn of
his career. He had grown en-
Uttered, pessimistlc. At the last of
life, for which the first was made"
he seems to have found the earth a
Presidential prison house. The entire
social system he denounced as rot
ten from top to BOTTOM" and the
worst that the world has ever seen. :"
But these acrid opinions are not
what established his claim to be re-
membered by mankind. He shares
with Darwin (and 1t has been mem
toned with almost wearisome reitera-
tom the credit of the so-called OAR
winian hypothesis, as to the origin of
man. He was an interchangeable trav-
eler In out-of -the-way places. An
thropologist, philosopher. student or
religion and supernaturalism, political
economist, he was as versatile as
Ruslxin and u more consistent, II a
less inspiring eXpositor and disput-
ant.
The world will reject the pessimis-
tic conclusions of very old man as
to the present state Of mankind; but
it will remember his example as
valiant protagonist of truth, and as
simulate what is of permanent value
in his teachings with profound respect
for the teacher.

Roads and Automobiles

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
sir--In a recent issue of The Star
there appeared an editorial entitled
Good Roads for Business First" The
editorial mentioned the American
Road Congress at Detroit, in which
Congressman Shackleford, chairman
of the House committee on roads. told
the assembled delegates that he was
not in sympathy with the spirit that
would build public roads for automo-
bile touring purposes rather than for
general business.
This view OF the congressman is not
generally accepted, in fact. it is OPP
own automobiles and those who do
not. A public road is for the use of
all, and therefore should be built with
that idea in view and should be built
as permanently as possible, as the
travel of the future will probably be
more of the motorcar order than of
the horse drawn vehicle.

nerve and brain tissue, until lying
has become almost physical neces-
sity. He thinks he can easily over
come this habit, but he will not. He
Is bound to his habit with cords OF
steel; and only by painful, watchful
and careful repetition of the exact
truth, with a special effort of the
gyill-power at each act, can he form
a counter trunk line in the nerve and
brain tissue.
Society is often shocked by the
criminal act of a man who has al
ways been considered upright ana
true. But II they could examine the
habit-map in his nervous mechanism
and brain, they would find the begin
nings of a path leading directly TO ms
deed, in the tiny repetitions OF what
he regarded as trivial acts. All eX-
pert and technical education is built
upon the theory that these trunk lines
of habit become more and more SEN
sitIve to their accustomed stimuli,
and respond more and more readily.
We are apt to overlook the physical
basis of habit. Every repetition or
an act makes us more likely to per-
form that act, and discovers in our
wonderful mechanism q tendency to
perpetual repetition, whose facility
increases in exact proportion 10 the
repetition. Finally the original act
becomes voluntary from natural re-
action.
All through our lives the brain is,
constantly educating different parts
of the body to form habits which Will
work automatically from reflex ac-
ton, and thus is delegated to The
nervous system a large part of LIES
duties. This is natures wonderful
economy to release the brain from
the drudgery of individual acts. and
leave it free to command all Its forces
for higher service.
Men carelessly or playfully get into
habits of speech or act which become
so natural that they speak or act as
they do not intend, to their discom-
fiture.

EDITORIALS BY THE PEOPLE

This summer the writer journeyed
across the continent with the Indiana
automobile manufactures Indiana
Pacific tour, and enough was seen of
the roads to persuade the average
tourist that for long stretches the
road was not fit for any kind or
travel At places where some of the
party made good roads talks. as they
were booming the Lincoln Memorial
Highway" and good roads generally,
they mentioned the fact that any road
built through many places on the
prairies and mountains would see
little through traffic and would be
used largely by the local inhabitants,
so that the work of the automobile
people is surely altruistic when 1t
comes to building a road through
some of the God-forsaken places We
visited last summer where a dog could
hardly live. The automobile people
have not been given credit enough for
their good intentions and work. Yours
very truly, w. D. Mofte1AN.

Relaxation in literature.

From the Springfield Republican.
President Wilson's addiction In lin
ericks is well known; the paragraph
ers have also limited at a weakness
for detective stories. Whether true or
false, the charge can hardly damage
his literary standing, and the taste
is one shared by many distinguished
men, q notable example being the late
Lord Salisbury, who often put by his
! idle tale reluctantly when forced to
return to his duties in Parliament
! It may be deplorable that such lead
ers should prefer, sometimes, mere
frivolous diversions to serious studies
! in fiction, but it is not Incompetent
sible. Nor can It be ascribed to de-
fectiye taste, for many of these emil
nent devotees of the shilling shocker
have taste as well as capacity, and
know very well what they are about.
They do not take the frivolous tale in
place of a serious new novel: they
take it in place of whatever they want
rest from, whether 1t be Blue Books
or Greek poetry. For men of letters
the late Andrew Lang, for example
are no more immune than the
statesmen from the temptations OF
light fiction.
This attitude. it must be owned, is
sometimes rather discouraging to
serious authors. What is the use of
devoting pains to psychological
analysis or local color or social prob
lens If men of culture as well as men
of affairs are to turn away to some
trivial tale for amusement? Yet
there may be two sides to the case.
Here is a real demand; have authors
OF ability done what they might to
meet it? Have they tried to raise the
level of what 1t is no disparagement
to call the literature of amusement?
1t must be considered that readers of
mature and vigorous minds, who
know as much as the novel.sts of the
day about social problems, do not as
a rule care TO see them inconclusively
threshed out In novels or dramas;
they would prefer a serious tough
treatise; but they have no objection
whatever to literary style. and II they
turn to inferior tales OF plot and adj
venture it is because good ones are SO
scarce.
