Man PARDONED, But
HE'S STILL IN JAIL

From Wednesdays Daily
Although a pardon issued yester-
day by Governor Hays to Evans Eos
ter of Republican was received today
by his attorney, W. H. Prince, Foster
is still in the county Jail. The pardon
was conditioned upon the payment of
court costs, amounting to about S12,
and as the telephone lines are down,
communication could not be had to-
dav with Fosters relatives at Repuo-
ican and the costs are still unpaid
Foster was fined $50 and sentenced
to one minute in Jail for aggravated
assault. A petition for his pardon is
said to have been signed by 80 Union
township citizens, including the JUS
tice of the peace before whom he was
tried.

HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS?

Do colds settle on your chest or in your
bronchial tubesr Do coughs hang on, or
are you subject to throat troublesl
Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the strengthening powers
of Scott's Emulsion to guard against
consumption which so easily follows.
Scott Emulsion contains pure cod liver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res
piratory tract and improves the quality OF
the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the throat.
Scott's is prescribed by the best special
lists. You can get it at any drug store.

tContinued from First Pagel
The Washington herald., 1916-05-12

One OF our members has asked for an
answer TO the question whether it is en-
vironment or heredity that has most TO
do with the development Of child. This
is the letter l received from her: Dear
Aunt Chatty: Not long ago a horrible
murder was committed in this state and
the young man who did it was sent to
the chair for the crime. Just before he
was eleCtroCuted he said to the minister
who was with him, If my mother had
lived, I wouldn't have been in this fix.
Some of the newspapers called him de-
generate; said he was of the criminal
type, but have been wondering if a per-
son who is really degenerate could feel
that way about his mother. Isn't per-
son who is said to be degenerate one who
has never been trained to be good? Isn't
1t after all the way We bring our chill
dren up that makes them good or bad,
or do they inherit their sins and their
virtues from us? I wish you would tell
me what you think about this, for I
have had a terrible feeling of RESPONSE
bility since 1 read what that poor boy
said. Mrs l. H l."
The question raised by Mrs I. H. L. is
one that is puzzIlng the students of the
science we call genetics in these days.
We used to lay everything to heredity.
He takes after his father" the mother s
relatives were very apt to say when a
child showed some particularly disagree
able trait! In many of the older books
we meet the story of Caligula, the Roman
emperor noted for his cruelty, who re-
marked with a smile when he saw his
little daughter ferOciously killing flies:
she resembles me-
From this earlier view to that of the
ultra-moderns who would have us be-
leve the infant before its birth owes
nothing whatever to the mental impress
SiOns of its mother, but is a human being
sui generis, from the moment of concep-
ton. We find every shade of opinion.
Most of the teachers / have talked with
recently seem inclined to agree with Her
bert h. Walter. who in his book called
"GenetiCs" illustrates his theory by
means of an isosceles triangle, the base
of which he cSlls heritage and the sides,
respectively, environment and training
But when we try to draw the line be-
tween the effects of heredity and en-
vironment We are often at a loss. Bad
parents dosbequeath their faults to their
children, but it is hard to say exactly
whether the children really inherit the
faults because of bad birth or because
bad parents are certain to bring their
children up badly OF course habitually
underfed, drunken, or neurotic parents do
not produce normal Ichildren-and for these
poor unfortunates there is no hope, but
we should not be too ready to condemn
to a criminal' type the boys and girls
who have not had a good start in life.
We mothers may well ask ourselves, as
Mrs. /. H. L. does in her letter. how
far We are to hold ourselves responsible
in the matter

The man and his wife and five children

OF a home in which the parents show
mutual respect and affection for each

Although Mercury is adverse in the

later in the day, Saturn and the Sun rule
| strongly for good and this day should be

The evening is an exceedingly propi-
tious time for pushing personal interests,
as the planetary influences incline those
who WELD power and influence toward
generosity and helpfUlness.
1t is a particularly fortunate sway for
plumbers, miners. masons and builders.
Real estate operators come under a most

Householders should utilize the dav for

Those who are no longer young have

According to astrology the United
States will be a storm center of peace

Problems OF population will be much in

children will be a topic Of the times, for
they will assume new values in the ma

foreshadowed.
