SURVIVAL OF TIE FITTEsT.

VI recen6 years Vo1UuSS no'o
been written in defense OF the
schemeof life defined in the above
phrase. Its advocates refer US
, to nature in all her wondrous
workings-the manner in which
she accurately fuiflls the biblical
promise that 'sto him that hath
shall be given; but from him
that hath not. shall be taken
away even that be hath"
Perhaps no schemes Of life
half so pernicious has ever been
promulgated by sane men in any
age of the world. True, nature,
n the person of the brute, works
strictly along this line. Its ao-
solutely necessary there. 1t is
necessary from the fact unless
every energy of the brute were
given to the task of preserving
self, then self, as represented by
the brute, would soon cease to
exist.
Scientists define the differ
snce between man and brute
tnusly: The brute knows, but
Knows not that it knows. Man
Knows, and knows that he
Knows. And in these truths lie
Ghe great danger to humanity of
the Survival Of the fttest, ;"
theory, The brute, knowing
not that it knows, recognizes ab-
solntely no rights but it's own.
For it the question of right Goes
rot exist. Nature has equipped
It to make of self the very best
specimen possible, even to the
absorbing in many instances of
the rights and very persons Of all
others;that isits first instinct,and
we're any other course followed
it would be fatal to the life
of the brute creation. But
wien, through the faithful
adherance to this primal in
stinct, the brute has reached
brute perfection-well, it's no.
thing but brute anyway. A
magnificent brute it may be, but
merely brute.
With man, however, the re-
verse is true. Knowing, and
knowing that he knows. he con-
sequently must know that he
has rights. That being the case,
he is compelled to know that
all others (who are in every way
as essential as himselfl must
have rights coequal with his
own, Therein lies his utter
futility of attempting to ursurp
any of the rights of others with
out doing violence to his own
character. In brief, the mo-
ment he attempts to survive at
the expense OF the weaker
brother, just that moment he
becomes most ''unfttest" in
every sense Of the brute sense.
He becomes as the brute.
But what about the survival
of the unfttest:"
That is a subject that might
well engage the attention of the
advocates of eugenices and other
ssould-be 'tuplifters, of the
human race. Go after the man
who has never had a chance and
give him a character. Lift up the
brother who has fallen by the
way and start him on the road
again. Encourage the despon-
dent. Help the weak. Strive to
eanalize the burdens Of life. Il

by feeding rough foods mixed with

will be in condition to put on good
grains from pasture. Straw and shock

this way, so don't allow the straw to

Mike Gibbons is given the popular

there can be no charge of stalling

He was not in the best of condi-

him following Dillon. Mike went in

FROG POND NOISE GREETS
BAND MUSICIANS WEEKLY

The chautauqua salute seems to
have been superseded by the Klaxon
salute, and we can't say that it is a
good change. The sounding of sew
eral dozen auto horns at the band
concerts as means of applause makes
hideous noise that to our notion
doesn't begin to show the apprecia-
ton of the bandmen's efforts along
side that of handclapping or the
waving of handkerchiefs. In fact, 1t
seems to us that it is sign that
auto drivers are getting too lazy to
clap their hands when it is so much
easier to press an electric button.
The bandmen are really at a loss to
know whether this noise like a
huge frog pond is meant for genuine
applause or ridicule.-Beloit Call.

thrown some distance, received only

ABILENE LOSES TO INDIANS

Costly errors and a team of play

combination yesterday afternoon for

to the Cheyenne-Arapahoe Indians.
The Indian nine was good bunch
Of hard players and onsidering that
this was the first game Of the season
for the local boys, it was very
creditable showing. They made only
one more error than the Indians
but were outhit and the old. heads
at the game took the big end Of the
score. Phelps on the mound for Abb
lene made a good showing against
the formidable swatters that the
Indians were.
The Redskins started their scor-
ing in the first inning when they
crossed home five times. In the sec
ond with two base hits by Tober
and Phelps, Abilene made five runs.
Abilene tied the score in the fifth
inning at and 6 but with runs in

HANK DRESSER STOLE HOME
Two Athletes, Well Known Here,
Featured In Manhattan Game

Two baseball players well known
here in high school circles, feature
in the following two paragraphs
taken from the Manhattan Nation
alist's account OF the Milford-Ram-
bier game played Sunday at Man
haitian and won by the Ramblers,
2 to 0.
"The Milford team, however, was
not a weakling by any means. They
had a little pitcher by the name OF
Mason Mcdonald who was no slouch
when 1t came to disposing OF hit
ters. Such old seasoned hitters as
Winans, Newton, Forsberg and Nc
Nair all took the count before the
short-coupled lad from Industry.
one could easily understand why
the Milford team is tough team
to beat when playing in their own
class.
Hank Dresser pulled a little Ty
Cobb stuff when he stole second
and third base and then caught all
nine opponents flat-footed after the
catcher had caught foul ball, by
coming home with the second run
of the game. Hank was lodged on
third and McNair was up. Spud tried
awful hard to connect with the pill
but the best he could muster was a
high foul which the visiting catcher
got under and held, but while he
was mentally congratulating himself
on the catch, Hank was crossing the
plate with the second run of the
game"
