MAIDEN LANE WALL IN DISPUTE

The retaining wall which is being

they proceeded with the construction
OF the wall. which was not included

no objection will be raised against
the continuation of the work. The
cost OF the wall is variously estimat-

FINE EXAMPLE OF
PATIENT COURAGE
One of the Most Wonderful Women
of the Age to Lecture Here Next
Monday

Helen Keller has overcome sc
many obstacles in her career, and has
accomplished so many wonderful
achievements, that her at last having
learned to speak seems but natural
browning of her years of labor. This
has been her greatest task, however,
and has been only the result of years
of unparalleled patience and effort.
1t is said by distinguished aural sur
geons to be the greatest individual
achievement in the whole history of
education.
Being able to give voice to the
thoughts of her active brain, Helen
Keller brings a message that is full
of sunshine which she in her blind
ness sees more fully than do those
who have sight. IL is a message adj
dressed to those who, having eyes,
see not, and having ears, hear not,
optim ism and cheerfulness without
oeing thankful for what are deemed
to be ordinary faculties of life.
The name OF Helen Keller can
never be separated from that of Mrs.
Macy (Anne NJ Sullivan) the teach
er and companion of 26 years, who
opened the gates for her to the out
side world. One hardly knows whom
to admire the more, the scholar or
the teacher. As they have never
been separated these many years, so
are they not separated on the lee
ture platform.
Mrs. Macy will speak first, telling
of how she came to teach Helen Kel-
Ter, how she first was able to com
municate with the child's mind
through natural craving for a doll;
then how other words and ideas
came one by one, and how finally,
one day, the whole system of finger
spelling dawned on Helen Keller,
and the barrier to the outside world
was passed.
1t was still difficult going, but
Miss Keller's indominitable will and
Mrs. Mays patience mastered all.
The desire to speak was the hardest
OF all to crafty, for every vocal
movement had to be learned and i'm
itated by Miss Keller. Only after 20
years is she able to make herself
heard and understood by large au-
diences. But she can speak now and
she uses her new power to spread
cheer and happiness.
When Mrs. Macy explains all of
these preliminary stages, an expla-
nation that is of the profoundest in
terest, Helen Keller is introduced,
and, by her teachers side, she deliy-
ers her message. At it's close she
answers the questions of her audi
ence. transmitted to her by her
teacher. This is the most interest
Ing part of the lecture, for it reveals
best the acuteness and quickness of
her mind.
This remarkable double lecture
will be delivered in the college audi
torium next Monday evening, april
IL. Reserved seats on sale at Watts
Pharmacy at so cents.

or bad, or, to be plain, mind with a
force for theft, if raised in the en-
vironment of thieves, would tend to
further degenerate, but if given the
proper thoughts would tend to allay
the force.
Now please follow this thought with
me: How can anyone who has had
the misfortune to be born of poor pa
rents, with an atavistic mind, be
reared in the environments of the
slums, or the stockyards district as
described recently in The Day Book,
be tried in civilized court of justice,
and condemned to die at the end of
civilized rope or any other civilized
way, in a civilized country, and still
receive justice?
Enough said 1t can't be done. But
it could be done in Christianized
country, and has been and will be
again, for the Christian demands an
eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
and a life for life.
Just as long as society allows this
wrong to go on (and dozens of others
that can set forth in just as strong
terms), they take from themselves
the right of civilization and retain the
rights of Characterization, or better
yet, heathenization And just so long
as man will persist in believing they
have a voice Separate and apart
from the mind) called conscience and
a free will that goes with it, just so
long will they be mental slaves and
easy to exploit by Big Biz, Billy Sun
day or the Salvation Army, and fur
Their deny themselves the rights of
'1ife, liberty and happiness. &C. A.

forth my full argument to substan-
tiate my claim, for that would fill a
book larger than The Day Book, but
will attempt to set forth only one of
the many colossal wrongs practiced
on the so-called criminal class.
Psychic atavism is the science of
breeding back to lower type of
mind or a criminal mind and in some
cases going back to the animal of
evolution. The ataVistic mind is in
herited by the born criminal just as
surely as muscles common to the
ape" are inherited by some other men
and still another inherits both. Also
just as surely as the degenerate in
herits misfortune, shame or disease
from his parents or antecedents.
Both are the victim of cruel fate;
one the casting back to the cave man
or criminal; the other poisoned by
disease, vice or disaster of some one
before, and neither degenerate is to
blame for his condition. But our
so-called civilization censures, scorns
and Furnishes one and sympathizes
with the other.
No one would dare to blame baby
for being born blind, but everybody
blames man that has been born
with a mind that drives him to crime.
