NEW THEORY OF EVOLUTION
Points Evolved by Author May Give
Rise to Some Most Interesting
hypothesis.

In q book entitled The Natural The
@gy of Evolution" ]. N. Sherman
pointed out that nothing in the Oar
winian theory precludes design; it
only requires the superstition that the
designing mind works slowly through
many ages. As to those variations
which have turned out failures-the
flying reptiles and other extinct crea-
lures of early periods-the author
makes the suggestion that the direc-
ton Of varieties may to some extent be
deputed by God to angels, In the same
way as free will and power is granted
to man; and that these failures are the
experiments OF the angelsubordinates.
But" writes the editor OF Nature
in recommending the book to scientific
readers, the author is not in the least
q crank, and he puts forward this fresh
and interesting hypothesis (which
some would call fantastic) as a specu-
lation only. His main point is that
though the Darwinian natural selection
is q true cause of change in species.
the variations which tend to progress
toward greater completely cannot be
attributed to chance. They are evil
dence OF a guiding mind which sees
and knows before It produces on the
rial plane"
Science has ceased to sheer at the
spiritual. and many of the deepest
thinkers of today are turning to the
supernatural" for explanations OF phe-
nomsna they cannot understand.

History.

The FIRST writer who is definitely &C
knowledged as a historian was the
Greek Herodotus, who wrote in the
fifth century, B. C. The very earliest
OF ancient records, sacred and secular,
are merely lists and tables OF ruling
dynasties, and the next step toward
the development of the continuous
narrative which we know as history"
is in the expansion OF such lists to in
clude events. The most notable early
examples of these historical records"
are the Old Testament books of Kings
and Samuel, which date plck to the
seventh century, B. c., and the book
Of Chronicles. which, though equally
notable, was compiled three centuries
later. Ancient Egypt has similar rec
ords, and there are notable early frag-
ments Of Japanese and Chinese chroni-
Gle. The first actual written narrative
history" however, is Greek. The Old
Testament. as stated, goes back to ex-
tremely early Jewish records. The
New Testament, which was written in
Greek, is, of course, much later; much
history had been written before the
beginning of the Christian era.

IN PRAISE OF THE ONION
Ono Writer, at Least, Brave Enough
to Defend the Heaithful But
Odorous Vegetable.

Why is it that so beautiful and de-
licious a vegetable as an onion causes
such horror among humankind when II
has once been consumed?
Why is 1t that ones wife shudders
when she sees her husband gnawing
at the juicy interior OF big Bermuda
when the scientific chaps 30 strongly
recommend the onion as a most
healthful and proper form of grub?
Why-oh, why-does an onion taste
SO much differently in the morningf
Nobody knowsl
There are a few people who abso-
lutely detest the mere idea OF an on
ion, but the antagonistic attitude Is
generally a precautionary measure.
Many people would like to eat on
ions, II they dared, and only refrain
from doing 80 when under heavy
pressure. They are told that the odor
of a mild and companionable onion
upon ones breath stamps him as one
of the rabble.
II he reeks with the perfume OF a
15-cent cigar It is o. X. Likewise 1t
is all right II he has been reveling In
some OF the more deadly varieties of
cheese. but as for the onion-never!
Onions are mighty handy vegeta-
bles in the kitchen OF the elite, and
are used to flavor most salads and
dressings and things, where they are
duly appreciated. but, like the COM
mon workingman, while useful about
the house. they must not be brought
into the drawing room unless in dis
guise.
This outrage against the onion
spring, Bermuda and Spanish-when
properly studied, is likely to make a
socialist of almost anyone.

"The Underwood law started out
with a good balance in the treasury.
That is not an argument in favor of
the Underwood tariff. Credit for
that balance belongs to the preceding
republican tariff law. The real ques-
ton is, what balance will you have at
the end of the operation of the I'm
derwood law?
up to the present time some $780,
100000 has been raised by the So
called war taxes, and Notwithstanding
this and the fact that importations at
present are breaking past records in
volume, the balance in the general
fund is now down to about S50,OO0,-
900.
when the Underwood act is finally
repealed and the reckoning is made,
it will show some hundreds of mil
lions raised by Objectionable methods
of taxation-and an empty treasury"

Carranza has only just got a shally
grip on his job, and yet when a Mex
lean citizen was killed the other day
in FL Paso he Immediately made a
preemptory demand for punishment of
his slayer. Thousands of Americans
have been murdered in Mexico, and
the most our government has done is
to state that if there is ever a stable
government in Mexico the president
will ask for damages.

Economy and Platform

Congressman Ed Taylor, a Colorado
democratic leader, estimates the gov
ernment's deficit this year at four
hundred million dollars. This is the
democratic administration reply to
the platform of economy forced upon
them. 1t is going pretty strong even
for democrats. However, they hand
led several other planks just as care
lessly, and even at that Congress cut
nearly a hundred millions off the
amount the administration asked them
to appropriate.

Another Day of Reckoning

The United States treasury faces a
deficit of over 100000, 900. The party
responsible for that deficit must eth
err meet the situation or surrender the
reins of power.
In other words, the American peo-
pie demand that a political party
either make good o. give up.
The handwriting on the wall was
recently revealed by Representative
Joseph W. Fordnoy of Michigan in a
discussion of the democratic tariff and
revenue policies before the house. He
showed that the democratic party
has failed to make good.
"The treasury balance is nearly
S1O0,0OO,000 less than it was when
the republicans were in power" said
Mr.. Fordney. "The war in Europe
is the excuse, but it is not the cause
for the deficit. Without that war the
democratic party would have been
compelled to admit ere this that their
tariff law is complete failure.
Compare nine months from March
to November, 1915, with the CORES
ponding nine months from March to
November, 1918, imports showed a
gain of S72,716,OOO. Customs re-
ceipts showed loss of $76,OOO,OOO.
The maximum loss of customs re-
ceipts that can be attributed to the
war in Europe is S5,52O,OOO per month
and the war tax, so-called, is pro-
ducing s6,sO0,00O per month, or about
81 100000 per month more than the
loss in customs receipts.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
war tax is more than making up for
the loss in customs receipts, the bal

Watchful Waiting

Germany his submitted another pro-
posal on the Lusitania case. This calls
for another ream of gilt edged note
paper for a reply. Let's see, the Lus-
itania was sunk rcarly a year ago,
and these notes have been moving
with regularity ever since. 1t would
have been a matter of economy for
this country to have paid damages to
the Americans that were killed and
have said nothing about it.
