F.. q. Lincoln Is State Assayer

Francis C. Lincoln of the depart
ment of mining of the university
of Nevada has been appointed state
assayer and has already entered
on his duties. The position pays
$4,000 per year and expenses. 1t
is the duty of the state assayer to
take charge of ores consigned to
samplers whenever requested by
the shipper, to sample the ore, and
if he sees fit, to have the samples
assayed at the state analytical
laboratory, reporting the result to
the shipper. For this service the
shipper is charged 25 cents per
ton. The money is held out by the
purchaser and forwarded to the
state treasurer to be placed in a
special fund.

Sunday Unloading Of Cars

One war measure that has bee 4,
suggested provides for relieving
freight congestion by loading and
unloading cars on Sundays ap1
holidays. Southern Pacific Agents
who are o engaged in a a
loading contest are appealing to
shippers and consignees to aid the
country by utilizing Sundays and
holidays to free freight cars on
sidings. 1t is pointed out that an
emergency exists and that emer-
gency measures should be under
taken. One seventh of a cars time,
is lost when it lies idle on Sun
days.

Altho Frankfort is said to have a

Why the Genius So Often
Appears Backward

ness and lack Of skill in the field Of tradition
worship, routine and convention; but the
phlistine is absolutely helpless in the field
OF set-education, innovation, pioneering,
coping with new and broad problems.
imitation Of other peoples doings and
sayings Is the most natural hence the easiest
method of mental growth, in philstines. in
one-sided and semi-superior individuals Imi-
taton, learning, begins of course, with the
mere form, outer appearance, word, or the
letter Of the true, beautiful and the moral;
and It ends with more or less complete
assimilation Of the hidden. invisible content.
THE growth Of the genius proceeding from
within, from content toward form. from
thought and feeling toward expression, we
can understand why he is unable TO initiate
others; we understand why he is so awkward
and hence so easily detected when he tries
TO sneak and act without having the CORE
spending convictions and feelings; we under
stand why an actor is very seldom a good
playwright, and vice versa; we understand
why the genus-even the many sided-makes
the impression Of being less adaptable 20 new
circumstances. less teachable, than the semi
end the pseudo-superior men. In the philis-
tine and the pseudo-superior man form and
content are usually ASSOCIATED, or rather
form is the all important pursuit, form is
an end in itself; whereas in the genuine
superior man form and content are insepara-
blv connected. He cannot accept the one
without the other, he cannot speak for the
mere beauty Of the sound, he cannot act like
others for the mere sake Of acting or Of
pleasing. he cannot act without feeling and
pursuing ends in conformity with his actions,
he cannot adopt publicly, externally or tenn
porarly the form Of higher thoughts and
sentiments and pursue secretly, innerly or
later baser ends like the pseudo-superior
man.
80 that where the philstine has merely
TO adopt a form. the genius has 10 adopt
simultaneously the content hidden therein;
and this retards his success in learning from
others. Where the philistine and the pseudo
superior man rest satisfied with a superficial,
partial assimilation Of others thoughts and
feelings. the genius cannot refrain from 60
ing TO the bottom, origin and end Of things;
he cannot refrain from following up the
thoughts 70 their remotest antecedents and
down 10 their remotest consequences. And
this is another cause of his slowness IN
assimilating others ideas.
"The apparent .quick-mindedness quick
wittedness, teachableness, adaptabillty, many
sided education OF pseudo-superlor men lies
in their lack OF conscentiousness and IN their
purely formal, verbal, partial, disconnected
superficial, initiative learning from others.
The pseudo-superior man is richer IN words
than in ideas, richer in. expression than IN
feeling, richer in appearances than IN reali-
ties. The reverse is true Of the genius The
genius, like an infant, disposes Of more states
Of consciousness than of adequate words TO
express them. The philistine is poor in both
ideas and corresponding words

The Real Thing

CPEAKING Of the powerlessness Of

unparalleled war, a famous English clergy
man remarked, early in August, 1914, THE
Church has not been thinking enough
about the great things" Perhaps there
was more truth in this remark than we
have realized. While we have been preach
ing for twenty-five years, both in Europe
and America, on the lesser things, we have
neglected to dwell continually on the two
or three great fundamentals Of the faith
whose universal acceptance would make
war improbable if not impossible forever,
However this may be, how almost trivial

been concerning itself for year now seem

The South Africans
Intellect

TN AN essay entitled Mental Develop
ment of the South African Native"
which was recently published by the
Rev. A. T. Bryant in "The Eugenics Re-
yiew," there is an interesting discussion OF
the mental capacities of the South African
native as compared to those Of the white
man. The conclusions which the Rev. A.
7. Bryant has reached, after long and care
full observations, are:
Eve believe that some innate differences
does at the present time exist between the
mind Of the average adul. male Of the Euro
pean race and that OF the average adult male
Of the African; in other words, that tho
mental powers Of the two, as actually now
possessed and manifested BY them, are not
equal and identical; in some faculties the
European. in others the African, being su-
perior. But, though innate, this difference is
not fundamental and permanent, but transient
and accidental.
The African intellect, as exemplihed in It's
manhood, is simply incapsoie Of reaching the
brilisnee or Of attaining the range Of that Of
the European. Be il a matter Of rejecting, or
Of judging or eomprehendng, or conceiving.
the African is everywhere hopelessly outdis-
tanced by the European. Only in the province
OF memory and OF imitation can he bear a
favorable comparison with him.
"But when We pass into the domain where
intuition reigns, there another story must be
told. There the honors fall to the African,
and the poorly endowed European must per-
force fall TO the rear The African. in COM
pany with the lower animals, is still pos
sessed Of certain instincts or senses which in
Us. perhaps by strophy through disuse, have
entirely disappeared.
Then, again. he is endowed with some Pc
cular sense Of sympathy or telepathy, exist

final triumph of being over non-be-
ing, Of the spirit over matter and its lusts,
Of knowledge over ignorance, Of righteous
ness over SIM" writes Henry Osborn Tay-
lor, in 1.-THE Yale Review" And in the
glancing light of this conviction he con-
tinues,
human aspiration presses on toward the
true the beautiful and good. It has always
spurned such brute notions as necessity
knows no law or the end justihes the

themselves Of the value of the coveted end

And now America enters the contest

writer to observe:
"Thus we vindicate our membership in the

and the delivery Of the world from violence
Assuredly. We are not going to war in order
TO protect our commerce, or the lives Of our
citizens upon the seas, from the attack OF
German submarines.
THE sinking Of the Lusitania, the more
recent submarine outrages and the espionage
practised in our land are but incidents in
our resolve. We are going 10 war with the
imperial government because Of the original
wickedness Of its cause, the abomination Of
its sack OF Belgium and the continuing wick
