LEAPS AND JUMPS IN NATURE

The idea of the origin of species by leaps and jumps has the great advantage of answering Tn an unexpected and decisive way the numerous and III part very grave objections which have been brought forward against the theory of Darwin TO my mind, this is of the best arguments Tn US Ia yor. It releases the theory of evolution rom the serious difficulties which it's adversaries have ne- yer ceased to urge against ti. The oldest ana most serious objection is based on the obVlous use lessness of characters during the first stages of evolution if this is supposed to be 1nVlslbly slow Imperceptibe odors not guide insects Tn their visits to flowers and assure to these SUI fcient advantage in the struggle for life. Adapta- tons for the capturing of insects for plants would be of no value in primary and imperfect condl- ton and therefore not be evolved by the ac- tion of natural selection Imperfect insects would be rather obnoxious, according to Wasmann, and thus would be liable to be destroyed instead or ln- creased by this action So it is in many other cases Beginning characters would always be too insignificant be of any value in the struggle for life. Evidently the principle of leaps and Jumps at relieves of the necessity or this ny pothess. It does not admit a gradual appearance of characters, but assumes these to appear at once the full display of their development and with de Vries in Science

The Eqyptian Cotton Outlook

There is a impression that distant is good thing for this country which pro- duces much than it needs. We imagine now that a large part production will be required to the fearful waste that is going abroad; that labor take the place of the millions of men who have been withdrawn from the field of productive labor to waste what has already been accumulated
 Probably we have overestimated this effect of may get little for their products but at the same time will have to pay and, approximately great deal more than the in creased prices the actual producers will receive The prosperity which will to this country, the great profits from the tremendous investment of human life abroad will be stopped in the hands of a comparatively few who are already prosper ous and rich and prepared to take advantage of the misfortunes of Europe.
 We have, however industry in this valley which believe will immensely thrive a result of the war-the Egyptian cotton growing industry. England, which will be easily accessible in spite of the war and the demand for the cotton will be greatly stimulated by the war. An outlet for valley cotton has already established. It will go, unlike most other American products which sent abroad direct the market, with profits ab- sorbed by intermediates. This arrangement has been made possible by the cooperation among local growers and of the benefit of it, each will share in proportion the volume of cotton he contributes.

HUDSON MAX M

Tho secret of the American gov ernment's "twenty-four hour smoke less powder" has been betrayed.
 The United States has lost forever this tremendous advantage it would have had in war.
 The incident is expected to give impetus to the Clayton bill, being pushed by the Army League, which would broaden the recent law mak- ing it felony to disclose govern ment secrets.
 The usual smokeless powder is slow of manufacture. It requires from four to six months and if manu- factured in shorter time may ex- plode spontaneously, destroying the dreadnaught carrying it. Any enemy who used up his powder would be at the mercy of the nation whose pow der remained.

The Center Street School and Safety

We are informed that the city authorities are considering the closing of Center street between Polk and Monroe to automobile traffic between the hours of S3O in the morning and 4 30 in the after noon, the regulation to be effective with the open ing of the schools The has become so heavy that the hundreds of children going to school or leaving it are in peril That danger exists at that point has frequently been pointed by The Re publican. So long the school is maintained there the danger can be reduced only by reducing or stopping traffic If there were no other way of reducing it, that would be proper way, for it would be much better that all automobiles should be compelled to make detour by the way of First street First than that a single child should be killed mamed.
 But there is a better way than closing the prin- eipal thoroughfare of the town for distance of two blocks in the heart of the town. The school should not be there It should be removed as quickly possible, for the conditions which are said have alarmed the authorities are rapidly increasing As the country north, northeast and northwest becomes populous, the Center street traffic will become dense. Drivers of auto mobiles from all those seek Center street for an entrance to the city, though it may be the most direct route It is the best
 The people than a year ago signifed that they did not want the Central school maintained The location not only dangerous, but the school building itself a menace antiquated and un- sanitary.

 Anyway, time should be lost in abandoning the site for school purposes. If. in order mini mze the dangers of it. should close Center street now there will be still stronger why it should be kept closed long the Central school is kept open
